Today I headed to Veronaville's Academie Le Tour to play the Sharpe household. Edwin Sharpe is in his second semester of junior year, majoring in Biology and Jonah Powers is in his first semester of senior year, majoring in philosophy. Both were recently put on academic probation for partying too hard and not studying at all. Jonah has a bad case of the flu due to a recent cockroach infestation. He has many girlfriends, none of whom know about each other.
On Friday morning Edwin gained a cooking point while making himself a bowl of cereal for breakfast. After breakfast, he buckled down to do two assignments, but that wasn't likely to help him pass - he needed skills. In typical Jonah fashion, Jonah served up a simple lunch of gelatin. Edwin was undeterred from his partying ways even with the threat of being expelled, and decided to call all his friends and invite them to a party. Jonah finally got over his bout of the flu and both of them headed to class. The party was a success. After class, Jonah called his girlfriend, Roxie Flexor to ask her on a date. She agreed and they met at Lucky Shack Cards and Drink. After some romantic slow dancing, they headed inside to sing a terrible duet on the karaoke machine. They thought they were pretty awesome, though.
This was followed by a heavy makeout session, which led to an extremely public woohoo on a sofa by the bathrooms. Mrs Crumplebottom was far from pleased and told Roxie off for her public nudity (but seemed undisturbed by Jonah's nakedness... guess she thinks he's too hot to wear clothes...) Mrs Crumplebottom was about to find out that nobody in Veronaville cares what she thinks. Jonah and Roxie immediately started making out again and yet again jumped on the sofa for another woohoo. By this time, Mrs Crumpebottom was too busy drinking at the bar to react to what was happening right behind her. The date was a dream date and Jonah headed back home to take a bath. He managed to break the bathtub and called the repairman to come out the following morning.
On Saturday morning Jonah harvested some mouthwatering tomatoes from the tomato plant out back. Edwin spent the morning playing SSX3 on the computer and Jonah invited another girlfriend, Wendy Parker over. As soon as she arrived, he hustled her in to the bedroom for their first woohoo together.
Edwin called college dormie Thomas Bar for a chat in the hopes of getting to know him better and then planted a fresh crop of tomatoes. Jonah called all his friends for a party and Edwin called Thomas Bar back to invite him over to join said party. They spent the party hanging out and quickly became friends. Both Edwin and Jonah headed to class and everybody at the party had a good time. When he got back from class, Edwin decided to throw a party of his own and settled down to play SSX3 before any of the guests could hog the computer. During the party, Jonah finally made a move on his friend, Demi Capp. They simultaneously became best friends and fell in love. Jonah wasn't about to wait for those flames to die down - he dragged her off to the bedroom for their very first woohoo together. Needless to say, Edwin's party was a smashing success.
On Sunday morning Jonah invited yet another one of his girlfriends, Prof. Virginia Garth over to spend the day with him. Edwin played yet more SSX3 when he got up and Jonah decided to call all his friends to invite them to a sports party. He harvested some very bland oranges from their orange tree as well. Edwin invited his friend Thomas over to join in the festivities and spent the entire party hanging with him. The party was a success and both boys headed to class. When he got home, Jonah called Prof. Virginia Garth to ask her out on a date. They met at Sim Center South for some very romantic moonlit slow dancing, which was all Prof. Virginia required to have a good time. Jonah headed back home immediately afterwards. Edwin spent much of the evening playing SSX3 and Jonah called his girlfriend Demi for a chat. Knowing he would soon be expelled, he invited his only college student girlfriend, Wendy over and asked her if she'd like to move in. She was thrilled and moved in right away. Wendy called the college registrar to declare a major in art. Prof. Virginia came by to leave a juniper bonsai tree for Jonah in commemoration of their date. He already had one, but he kept it to decorate his future home. Jonah and Edwin, after no studying for the entire semester, both headed off to their final exam and were of course both expelled from college. Wendy is now the sole occupant of the Sharpe household.

Today I headed to Pleasantview to play the Broke family. I haven't played them a whole lot since I had to reinstall everything, and I know I neglect them terribly. Brandi now works in the law enforcement career as a Cadet. Dustin has his after school job in the criminal career as a Numbers Runner. Therefore, the family can occasionally afford something nice, finally! Beau is currently a child, and Brandi's third child was a son, whom she named Bob. Bob is currently a toddler.
On Monday morning Brandi spent some quality peek-a-boo time with Bob while Beau practiced his painting skills and Dustin smustle danced until it was time for school. It was Brandi's day off. She spent the morning productively by completing Bob's potty training. Dustin had the day off work also. Brandi put Bob down for a nap and practiced her speech in front of the mirror to gain a charisma point before falling in to bed exhausted. Beau's relatives heard about his good grades in school and sent him $100 as a reward. He went to bed exhausted after school, poor thing. Being a good student is hard work. Dustin was far too depressed to do his homework and the social bunny was hovering around him constantly. He took a cab downtown to buy himself one of life's little luxuries - a gameboy. He then headed back home with his purchase. Bob grew up well in to a child thanks to Brandi's wonderful mothering skills. Dustin invited his steady girlfriend, Angela Pleasant over for some romantic slow dancing out front, though his mind wasn't completely on the romance.
When Brandi got up (and oh, goody, her sleeping pattern is all destroyed!) she went back to the mirror to gain two more charisma points. When Beau woke up it was time for his birthday as well, and he grew up well in to a teenage knowledge sim.
Beau spent the early hours of Tuesday morning cleaning the bathroom and gained a cleaning point for his trouble. Brandi was still in front of the mirror gaining yet another charisma point. Beau tackled his homework to continue his run of good grades. When Bob got up he spent some time smustling in the bedroom. Dustin managed to break the bathroom sink (he is made of fail!) and called a repairman to come fix it during working hours. Then it was off to work and school for all the Brokes. Dustin was offered a choice of instruments in music class and chose to learn the cello, but he was terrible at it and ended up breaking the school's cello - he had to pay for it too! He headed straight to work after school and Brandi headed straight to bed after work. Beau and Bob sat down to do their homework together - that's right, Bob, Beau is the older brother to be looking up to, not Dustin. Dustin was once more too depressed to tackle his growing pile of homework assignments. A townie acquaintance that came home from school with Dustin clogged the family's only toilet. Dustin once more called the repairman to come out the next morning. Later that night, Brandi re-broke the bathroom sink - I guess that repairman didn't do a very good job. She pulled another all-nighter and spent it in front of the mirror gaining another charisma point.
In the early hours of Wednesday morning Brandi gained yet another charisma point! When he got up, Bob called Mama Caliente to chat until it was time for school and work for all. It was Dustin's evening off work, and he managed to do Wednesday's homework but not the previous two days' homework, regardless of the fact that his job is in jeopardy if his bad grades continue. Brandi went straight to bed after work again. Beau called Sim State University to see if he was eligible for any scholarships - a teen for less than two days and already thinking about college - and he won the SimCity Scholar's Grant. Brandi was terribly proud. She pulled another all-nighter. There's no end in sight to her terrible sleeping pattern yet. I don't even remember what happened to put her in to it.
