Week 2 Continues (Tuesday Onwards)

I finally finished playing Monday for Week 2...yeah, not playing like that again for a long, LONG time. I still have to introduce everyone to the new family, the Reillys. So I guess I'll start with them.

MEET THE REILLY'S

The Patriarch of the family. A fortune sim who dreams of being in the sports hall of fame. Michael is the one who tries to keep the whole family in line, or about as well as he can manage with the siblings he's got.

Patrick Reilly is the only member of the family to have moved out as of yet...but it's not like he really has his own place. Patrick has become the local vicar for Truth and lives in the upstairs apartment for the Church

The local romancer of the family. Quinn's a very outgoing, relaxed kinda guy. Lots of fun to hang around.

A rare shot of Meghan without her glasses and her hair out. She is the only girl in the family and she's also very introverted. Instead of gabbing on the phone like most teenage girls, Meghan prefers taking care of her cat, Miko and tending her lemon tree and tomato plants. She has only managed to make one friend in Truth so far, that being MeShell Bruty who was a part of the welcoming commitee. As of yet, Meghan gives her brothers no cause to worry.

Miko Reilly is the "family" cat...but Quinn refuses to have anything to do with the orange beast. Miko spends majority of her time with Meghan and occasionally enjoys being petted by Michael.

Elle Midlock is Michael's live-in girlfriend. Patrick keeps telling Michael that he'd be quite happy to marry them. Michael usally replies by giving his nosy little brother a noogie and tells him not to get involved. Elle is an artist and a family oriented sim.

I'll save the rest of my update, for when I finish the Seavey-Hamilton house (which I have more than recently began to adore even more). The kids are the cutest things in the world.

Week 2 - Day 1 continues...yeah, I haven't made it past day 1

I can't continue to play day by day like this. It takes waaaaaay tooooooo long! But since I have almost finished the 1st day for everyone, I may go back to household weeks or try 2-3 days per household.

Let's just do a quick update as to what everyone has done so far:

• Keely-Ann's chilli has been declared the best by Andrea Schlel
• Andrew Schlel was born (Schlel household/Week 2 Day 1)
• Breanna Nott-Ross is definetly pregnant. Damien Ross is now on the Crimminal Career Track. No sign of Breanna's look-a-like
• Tyrone manages to finally go out on a date with Miguela
• MeShell invites Pedro Hernandez over for dinner to try to work things out. Family adores him. MeShell is not feeling to well and has been throwing up...hmmm....I wonder what that means?
• Roberto, Felicia and Miguela prepare to give gifts to Pedro for his new place. Miguel is preparing to become a teen. Jose is having fun just being a kid. The family knows nothing of MeShell's relationship with Pedro
• Nicole Ross has been working and slowly moving up the medical field. Derek has been having a hard time getting in contact with Emmy Kosmokos. At last notice, she had moved into a foster home but has since run away.
• Olivia is still studying everything she can to make better robots. As of yet, she still hasn't figured out how she got $50,000 but she still has over half of it unused
• Felica Goodman is preparing for her wedding to Amin Carson. He's doing better at keeping himself dressed while company is over to visit
• Angelica Umgabi is just about to become Mrs. Andrew Fancey. She has recently found out that he's adopted and with a bit of digging, she has found that his brother actually lives in Truth
• Max and Matt are skilling their way to the top with the help of Grandpa Brian, the smart milk and the fall skilling bonus. They spend so much time with Grandpa Brian and Grandma Stevie, you'd think their parents Dru and Jace disappeared of the face of the earth. However, they are just busy working their way up the corporate ladder. Grandma Stevie just realized the importance of having a roof over their head when it began to rain in the house
• Trisha may be expecting but she's still not sure. There has been no throwing up as of yet but her bladder seems to have shrunk to the size of a pea. Trisha and Dal are currently remodeling their home and are having plans of starting an orchard and garden in their large backyard
• Em has decided to become a foster parent...first kid has already run away from home. Em is worried and even called the police but apparently run-aways are not their jurisdiction. Em is currently working on her own search party, currently made up of Derek Ross and herself.
• Teneesha Ross and Corey Fancey decided to take in a couple of Dobermans (so far they are the only household with pets and I love these dogs!) named Bibi and Black. Teneesha has gotten a job as a Crimminal Mastermind. Corey is working on become a lawyer
• A new family has moved into Truth. An Irish family named the Reilly's. The Patriarch of this family is Michael Reilly, a Fortune sim. He has 2 younger brothers Patrick (the new vicar) and Quinn (the new local Romance Sim). There's also a younger sister who's a teen named Meghan. Patrick lives at the new church. Quinn and Meghan live with Michael in an oversized show house that's due for some serious remodelling to make it more liveable
• Pedro's new house is sweet. It got a pool, a hot tub and lots of space for parties and living. His parents and Miguela came over to visit, bringing gifts. His mom brought him a berry pie, a few snapdragons and a chair. Miguela brought him over a coffee table and a picture of him from when he was a child. His dad brought over a new invention of his....the Clean Bot 3000. Pedro noticed it sparking right away and put checking the machinery out on his list of things to do. However he got a neighbourhood visit from the welcoming comittee, consisting of Michael Reilly, Em Moorehouse and Teneesha Ross. They stayed in the hot tub forever. Pedro got a job has a gamer that pays quite a lot of money. He skilled and everything. He didn't even feed any of his guests but they insisted on staying at his house until like 1 AM. When they left, Pedro noticed an odd stench coming from the first floor and realized the Clean Bot 3000 really needed to be fixed. There were piles of garbage everywhere. Pedro went up to his room, closed the door and decided he would deal with it after a good night's sleep. It didn't look much better in the morning. Pedro cleaned what he could and called for a maid to come over and help. It was embarassing to have the newspaper girl walk by the house, holding her nose and doing a running leap to drop the newspaper and dash as quickly as possible. By the time he got back home from work, the maid had managed to clean quite a bit but there was still along way to go and she had already worked from 10 AM to 5 PM. Pedro was happy with the progess but he wished there was something called a magical cleaning fairy to get it all cleaned before the bugs come.

Week 2 continues

Wilson House - Tyone

Finally! Mom is starting to take more responsibility with the twins and allowing me to work on my own life...maybe it helped when Pedro had a change of heart and decided he didn't want to woohoo with her. Maybe she'll stop pretending she's a teenager but I think that's too much to hope for. Since I had some time off, meaning no school or homework, I called Miguela so we could go out on a date...a real date not just making out on the couch. I took her out to the Clock Tower. It's a local restaurant that makes some really nice food.

It was going great. She even brought me a gift. I didn't open it until we got back to my house. It was a nice potted plant. Her mom sells plants but Miguela told me she made this one just for me. I felt so bad for not thinking to get a gift for her too.

When we were about to leave, Miguela noticed her brother sitting at a table by himself, looking extremely grumpy.

We tried asking him what was wrong but he acted as if he didn't see us. I'm suspecting it had to do with his seat by the washroom. Miguela says it's girl trouble. I never heard anything about him dating anyone. Miguela just said that he wouldn't talk about it.

Miguela and I went back to my place. We talked some more and nothing...untoward happened due to the fact the nanny was all over the house with the twins. And then the twins would come into my room asking to be read to, fed, placed in their crib...what's the point of having a nanny if they come to me for everything?

I painted her a portrait and even managed to finish it in one evening so I could give it to her as my gift. She told me thanks and went home right after I finished, tired of posing for me.

Mom came home with a wicked promotion. She's a fashion photographer....I just hope she doesn't try to woohoo the male models. I'll know for sure if I get a new daddy who's my age or I end up with more siblings...and since my father is dead, it won't be from him.

Bruty House - Meshell

I took a chance. I went with my gut and started talking to Pedro again. He moved into his own house in town. I invited him over so we could talk. Apparently he feels he has a hard time trusting me because I don't trust him and now he's furious with me. What a load of crap. I introduced him to my father, who had recently gotten fired from trying to come with a line of sporks. And they hit it off. What father in his right mind, with a teenaged daughter dating a University graduate is happy about it? My father has to be one in a million. My mom comes home and meets him. She loves him too and Pedro loves my family too. Maybe things can get better now.

You know, it's not as much fun dating someone a lot older when your family likes the guy. My mom stood there and smiled as I made out with Pedro. Do you know how disturbing that is?

He stayed for dinner. Dad made his infamous Spaghetti and Meatballs (I'm telling you, despite the fact he was an executive chef, he never makes anything else). Pedro and I wanted to talk somemore but my parents were hovering, so when they weren't looking, Pedro and I went up to my room to talk...and one thing led to another and there was a photobooth there...I sent him home afterwards when I began to feel a bit nautious...maybe dad's spaghetti sauce wasn't agreeing with me.

Beginning of Week 2

Pedro

I managed to stick out the rest of University, not as a happy camper mind you, but I did it. Especially after talking to my mom on the phone about the value of a good education, getting a degree and then a decent job that can support a family (she must think I'm actually planning on having 4 kids like her). I didn't even try to remind her that are family is rich now...considering we won the Sim Lottery before we even moved to Truth. From good investing, I'm more than financially set. I decided since I was already 1/2 through my Senior Year, I might as well finish it and I did. With a 4.0 GPA and no sign of the stupid cow. It also helped that I locked the door with a good security system that kept away all mascots, cheerleaders, visiting professors etc.



I bought this sweet Modern home for over $40,000. It's kinda bare right now...but I'm a bachelor. I will get it more furnished as I work on getting Meshell back.

My buddy Corey graduated as well as Teneesha. They got this house just down the street from me, practically right across the street from Teneesha's brother Damien. He's busy giving dirty looks at the house because his little sister is living with a man. Teneesha just rolls her eyes and tells Damien that he needs to accept the fact that she's a grown woman. Am I the only one who knows that's never how it works with brothers and sisters?

Seavey-Hamilton, Blaise

It was mommy's (Keely-Ann) day off today and daddy (Davnus) had to go to work but mommy never works on Mondays anyways. And I woke up to a stink. I followed the smell and it lead me to my brother Blake. How can this kid smell so much but he's so neat about everything else? Mom tells him to wash out the bath and he's jumping for joy...he's just weird. By the time I got downstairs for breakfast, mom had some toaster pastries sitting on the table for us. Dad grabbed one and ran out the door, saying he was late for work. He quickly turned around and gave me, mommy and Blake a kiss before he left again. My daddy's a photographer. Me and Blake had to leave mom and go off to school. School was the same as always. We go to a public elementary school. We don't know that many people yet but my neighbour, Andrea Schlel came home with us after school. Mom had cooked us her chilli con carne. I teased Blake because he made sure he sat across from Andrea. He hated it but it was so much fun. Andrea said it was the best chilli that she had ever had. She couldn't stay for long and by 6:30 PM, she said good-bye and ran across the lawn to her house.



I hope Andrea becomes my friend soon. Daddy came home after she left so he didn't get to meet her but he did get a job promotion...I think he said something about a "free lacing fertografer". It seems the same to me. He still takes pictures of people and stuff. He kissed me and Blake "hello", asked us if we did our homework yet. And then sent us upstairs to do it. It didn't take long but when we were done, we had to go to bed.

While we were sleeping, I heard the fire alarm go off. I was ready to run to the escape exit like they taught us at school. By the time I reached to the stairs to go out the back door, I realized the nanny was still in our house. I don't know why she even came today at all. Mom was home the whole day. But it was 3 o'clock in the morning and I think she was trying to make Spaghetti. She can't cook. The whole kitchen stank and the fireperson had to come and put out the fire.



Mom fired her as soon as she found her...showering in mom's shower.

Andrew-Schlel, Andrea

When I left for school this morning, there was no breakfast on the table. Daddy was running out to work and mom was meditating in the backyard...again...she does it all the time and I'm tired of eating pizza everyday. I can't wait until I'm tall enough to reach the stove and cook a meal for myself. I'll probably make myself a whole turkey as my first meal.

After school, I went over to Blaise Seavey's house next door. I heard her mother makes really good chilli. It was really good. Blaise's brother kept giving me weird looks. I just finished my chilli and went home to mom (Sandy) who was in the middle of giving birth...and dad was no where to be found. I got a little brother...mom named him Andrew. He's got my eyes!



Dad still hasn't made it home. I hope he does soon.

Roschlel Again?

Yes, you can read about the boys...or more like Pedro again.

Pedro's Lement

You thought yesterday was bad? Today was even worse. I finally managed to get Meshell to go out with me today. I called her at a good time and she wasn't busy or anything. She arrived to Roschlel at about 6 in the evening. I was so excited. Everything was going great until psycho crazy ex-girlfriend runs up to me while I'm on a date with my current girlfried and is claiming that I'm cheating on her. Remember Kimberly Knight? We haven't talked 1 time since we stepped foot on campus. I'm about to start my senior year, that should tell you that there isn't a relationship anymore. Apparently that message didn't get through to Krazy Kim. She slapped me up! In front of my girlfriend Meshell. Talk about emasculating!




It's not like I can defend myself or I come off as abusive or something. I decided to quickly try and salvage the rest of my date by bringing Meshell inside Roschlel and quickly locking the door behind us. I explained everything to Meshell and she was understanding. She knew I was only with her. Things started getting better. We talked, hugged, kissed and flirted. And then my doom was sealed. This time it had nothing to do with me. Really! It didn't.

Remember that...cow mascot person who's name started with an "R", after this...entanglement, I found out his name is Richard Hurt...and if he comes after me again, he will be hurt by my fists. He comes running in and slapping me up and suddenly decided I was cheating on him. How the heck can that be when I couldn't stand him...and I'm not...gay.




I apologized profusely to Meshell but it wasn't going as well as before. She had this cool exterior to me that I don't ever remember seeing on her face. This wasn't going well.



I tried telling her I was going to fix everything but she gave me a dirty look, said she was hungry and that she was going home...This was horrible. We have a fridge full of food (considering we all live on pizza anyways). I waved good-bye and broke down.



Meshell is my life! I don't know what I'm going to do without her. How am I going to survive? I don't even think I want to stay at Roschlel Frat...too many bad memories...and the evil cow who is going to be a hurt cow, will probably stalk me around campus.



Thanks to him, I've lost the love of my life but I plan to get her back...I just don't know how long it's going to take. But it's not the end for Meshell and I if I have anything to say about it.
