Ok, today was christmas, a great day fro TSO. First, I woke up and loggedo on to TSO (of course) and my house that i currently live in, in JP, was #10! I couldnt beleive it...then i signed off for a while. When i logged back on i went to my house and it was packed! My roomie Lacie was there hosting by herself, so i decided to help out...eventually she had to leave and i was all alone hosting. She let me know my house owner (Terra) would we logging on soon. So i was all alone in this big crowded house of poeple. I would just host and hope for the best. Then Terra got on! woohoo! I was very glad...i stayed at the house for about an hour then Lacie got on...ok, 2 roomies hosting the house, i thought it would be ok to go exploring JP. So i asked Terra and she said that would be fine.
So i pick up the phone and im off. My first house was called Maevs House" and there is saw 2 0 day old newbies...I they asked me to come join them talking upstairs, so i did. We talked about what they were doing and what tehy thought of TSO. I told them to put out a tip jar so i could tip them. I gave them both 1000$...Maev and Jackie or something were their names. So i went to another house, and it was FULL of newbies, i thought to myself "this is great! more people to come play TSO!". So my exlporing was done for the moment.
I went home and found my roomies exchanging gifts...i realized i had no money because i gave it all away to newbies! What was a sim supposed to do? i did what i did best...that was delay time. I bought a cardboard box and gave it to the owner *telling* her that there was a bear rug inside...but really, it was just to buy me time. I then looked around the house and found a real bear rug that someone got me...so i asked the owner for some money so she would go into trade with me...she fell for it and gave me a few dollars and when she did, i slipped a bear rug in her inventory :) . I then told her to look and she said "HOW DID YOU DO THAT?" rofl! it was great. Well after talking to 10000 newbies, i was worn out...time to log off till tomarrow.


January 1st, 2004

Today was a crazy day...When i first got on i found out my house, Cooks Paradise WAS #3 ON THE TOP 100 LSIT!!! I could not beleive it...a nive way to start of the new year. So anyways, my house was closed, so i go home and open it...a little after, we were full with 18 people in the house, studying, greening up, and making preserves. People really seem to like our house and i think the reason it is so succesful is becuase of all the roomie. What i mean is, we all work together to keep the house open, but we also switch off so some roomies are out on the town, and some are hosting the house...also, most roomies are online all the time.
So, i am hanging out at home, and i remember that our house needs a new stereo with better songs on it...I decide to make some preserves because i only had 7k, and the stereo i wanted is 9k...only 2k, that i can make doing preserves. Me and some people begine making preserves...i make some, then sell them, and over again. Soon enough i have 9k. I tell my roomies I'll be right back. So I leave the house and go to "Classique Store" or something, and sure enough, they have the stereo I was looking for...but, it was only ,999! I thought i would get some stuff for my dog and cat (T-Bone and Fluffy :P) I buy a new food dish and a new bed for them.
So i go home and hang out for a while...hosting and greeting people. Once a lot of roomies got on, i decide to go out and explore. I let my owner Terra' and my roomie Lacie know where i am going, they say its fine. So i leave and go out and see a few house. Then I realize i am poor, so I go to Snow Money Pie I make about 2k there...alright, not bad. But i needed to be making more. I really needed to get out of JP for a while, I remembered my friend Rachel was in TC tonight, so i go back to TC after being gone a long time. Rachel made a newer version of "The TC Estate" and it was cool, i ask her if i could move in, she said sure. So i needed new clothes, i go out and buy some them go back to JP. Once i got there, I saw that my owner Terras, other sim had her house online... it was called Paradise Preserves. I land on the property and see there are 6 people there. I start to make preserves. Then i get an IM from Rachel. I said 'hey' and she asked what i was doing, I told her if she wasnt doing anything, she should come where i am because we were making some money. She came over and started making preserves.
We were all talking about being "tagged" and laughing. Then, kisu, a roomie, asked us if we wanted to do a "Diing" contest, I said what the hell, and said sure. There were only 3 people in the contest...me, rachel, and beau. So we all start to do things to make us die faster...I started eating, and then the contest changed to a "drown" contest. we all hop in the pool and start playing tag...it was really funny. So then Rachel had to leave and that left me a beau...beau was cool, she gave me a balloon earlier, but i really needed the money, so finaly, my sim drowns and turns into a ghost...I get revived my Kisu, get my money, and go get a new baithing suit.
After that it was like 1am...so i had to log off till tomarrow.

Today I logged on to a nice visitor bonus...so i checked our house rank on the top skill house list, and it was only #6, we dropped 1 rank and the house that took our ranking was our competitor! Anyways...I hang out at my house for a while with Rachel and Terra. We have a lot of fun at the house, i think that is why so many people keep coming back! After a bit i decide to go out, by now it was about 6pm real time already! so im looking around JP and find an interesting skill house, it is called "Money Chess" so i jump onto the lot and see a few gigantic chess boards with huge chess peices on them. I run to a board and there are a few other games going with other people. I needed an oponent, so i call down SamLit, she is my roomie. So we get on the chess board and needed a "refferee" so we finally find one and start playing. The winner gets , the loser gets , and the ref gets ! so no matter what you win! We have a great time playing, but around the time she is about to win and my king chess peice DISSAPEARS! We started freaking out, and then everyone elses chess peices started dissapearing....it appeared that was a theif in the house, anyone can pick up any chess peices, they must have hid them. So thye owner told us to stop our game and we all win! each of us got !!!! I now had some money to make a new sim and buy clothes for it. I made a new sim and went home and became a roomie again. So now im 0 Days old and have to skill all over again, but its ok, ive wanted to change my sims look for some time now.

Today I didn't want to log on...Cooks Paradise was just not so fun anymore. So I IMed Terra and told her my situation. She kicked me out without questions. She understood i was not having fun. So i decide to go on a new venture: make a cafe. I noticed an open lot next to Cooks Paradise, so i bought it and name it The Perk Cafe. I though it was a cool name for a coffee shop/ cafe. I get on the lot and it is so small, so i find a homless sim and ask if they can be a temperary roomie so i can upgrade to size 2. I upgrade my loy and start building.

I start making a lot of trees, it started to look like a forest, and then in the middle i made a little cafe with tables and chairs with a patio and pet pin. On the 2nd floor i made a bedroom with a bubble blower, and a pool table room. It was really looking good. Rachel came in and hung out for a while. While she was there, I started getting peoplecoming in that i didnt even know. But my place didnt have anything, not even a fridge, so i couldnt even make them a meal lol. I soon ran out of money so i got re-hired at the robot factory. I want to work at the Night Club when that comes out, so i have been working on my body and creativity skills

January 22nd, 2004

Today i logged on and saw that my place was #18 on the top 100 list! thats not bad for only my 2nd day. I go to my house and hang out with rachel. Then rachel goes to log off and Lacie comes in. We talk and hang out for a while. Then after we eat and green up, she offers me ! I accept and she said she thought i could use it. I add onto my house a "sacred" pool, Coffee house in the back, that includes and deck looking over the coffee house. I also added a club house and A LOT of trees and plants. I have a river running thru my property, so it looks like a forest. I start getting a lot of visitors and compliments too. A lot of the time i have 5 or more people chillin at my place and greening up. I hope i can add a lot more to my house. But for now it works.

Today I logged onto the message boards, and to my suprise...the new friendship system is FINALY coming to Test Center!! So the city goes offline while they put the new version on and im jumping out of my chair in anticipation. Once i get word it's coming back up I log in. The city is now back up and so i get into the city and no I dont see anyone i know online yet. So i go to a place called Open House. Its a nice place with 2 people on it, the owner and a visitor. The first difference i notice in this version is the change in color around all the sims. If they are a friend, the color around them is green, if enemy, its red, and if nothing, its clear. Its all very strange to me at first but i like it. I meet a guy names Joey or something, and we start testing out this new system, we keep high-fiving to try and get our "relationship points" up. Sure enough, befre we knew it we were friends. A whole bunch of people began to arrive at the property I was on. We were all just hanging out in front, talking and kissing eachother. People started joking around and it was awesome.xXx Rachel xXx logged on so i IMed her and we went to Lav's place. There was a bunch of people i knew there, so we all started to make eachother friends.

After a while i had 6 pages of "accuinances" on my web. Later on i go to a skill lot that was full and see there was a huge party out in front of people just hangin' out. Then i get an IM from someone saying she knew me from the boards. So i ask her if she wants to be friends and she agrees. We start working on it and kissing like crazy to get these points up. Well it was a short but fun day full of socializing :P Time to log off.
