Always ‘In Development’

Welome to 'In Development', a place that chronicles the adventures of the Green family, and any future Sims. This is my first try at anything like this so please bear with me as I try and get better. The first part of the story is up, called A Fresh Start. The stories will be done by the characters themselves, each new blog will have a different Sim talking about their experiences and that of others. I'd love if you would leave a comment, leaving any pointers you can think of.

A Fresh Start

Moving to Pleasentview was probably the best thing I have ever done. My past is hidden, and my future is unwritten. I can do anything I want, and be anyone I want. My name is Adrian Green and I am the newest resident in this town. I aspire to have a huge family one day and leave a legacy for generations to come. I hope life here will be better than the life I had in the past; a past I would rather not dwell on. This is a new beginning for me, a fresh start.

Starting with just a little more than the clothes on my back, I bought a plot of land in Pleasentview. When it was time to pay up, I found I had very little money left over. 1,500.00 to be exact. It was quiet an Xtreme start. Still, I managed to buy the few things I needed. At least what I thought I needed. There was not enough money for an actual home, but I was glad to at least have something to call my own.

My first day started out pretty uneventful. Being the Popularity sim that I am, I wanted to get to know people as fast as I could. The young paper girl was my first encounter. Just a small hello was what I got from her. We didn't really hit it off. I guess she had to get back to work…

So there I was, alone. At first, it seemed hopeless. Sure I had a place to sleep, a phone, and food (Until I ran out!), but I didn't have a bathroom of any kind. I found myself going downtown just for the sake of using the restroom quite a bit. I loved my home nonetheless, and I knew one day it would become something I could be proud of. Plus, in a way, having to go downtown was a good thing. I got to know quite a bit of people pretty quick.

My first night out on the town was a total success. I got to use the potty, which I needed to do, badly! I also met few people whom were very cool. I stayed for a couple of hours and really bonded with this guy named Garrett Hutchins; he was pretty much into the same things I was. We didn't get a chance to take a picture though, he was busy playing games. Other than Garrett, I met a couple of girls that had some potential, but didn't think to much of them.

The next day passed by extremely fast. I wanted a steady job, and what's more steady than the Military? I worked from before sunrise to early afternoon and I liked the setup. I had time to relax, and build some skills throughout the day. Socially though, I was neglecting my wants.

Then on my second day of work, I found out that one of the girls I had met a few days back, was my coworker. I asked her if she wanted to hang out at my house, and she did! Sparks flew there like never before. We really connected those first few hours at home. I had never felt what I was feeling. Her name was Autumn, but it felt like Spring. But it didn't stay like that…

That same night, as I was falling asleep, a robber decided to raid my humble abode. I heard him coming, seeing as how I have no walls, and I got up and ran to the phone as fast as I could. Still, the police took forever, and the criminal escaped. I was so angry, my head felt like it was on flames! That night made me realize one thing. You never know what's going to happen, so make the most of your time.

Thus, a few days later, I decided to pop the question to Autumn. We had developed a very intimate relationship, and I loved her dearly. I realized that my life was with her. That same day, she accepted and we got married. She brought along a friend that day, and I was scared he would ruin the moment. He didnt. Still, I couldn't help but notice that Autumn seemed a little dissapointed. I hope she can be faithful. After all, she does love Romance.
