Freshman blues (hair that is).

I really can't say I'm that impressed with the decor.

Persephone hopped out of the taxi and stood outside the giant dorm at Academie Le Tour. Although she felt a bit out of place with her punk clothes and tatts in such a posh place she was glad to be leaving her old life behind to start with a clean slate. Thank god for winning that scholarship! No one here knew her and the world seemed full of possibilities. With a bright smile she walked in and claimed a room…unfortunately she wasn’t too impressed with the state of it, but that soon changed when she got a chance to redecorate and hang some of her pictures on the wall.

Speaking of starting uni with a clean slate... how about a blank canvas.

Seph was an aspiring artist and it didn’t take very long for her to declare an art major. She wandered downstairs to have something to eat and sat by herself. With a sigh she realised that making friends was going to take a bit of work. And she wanted lots of friends.

Hey... anyone for mac and cheese... anyone? That's ok... I'll just eat here on my own.

Her first semester was spent studying hard, working on her art and trying to make friends. She was getting along really well with her professors (some a little better than others, which wasn’t hurting her grades either) and some of the people in her dorm.

Gee Professor Venkat... your jokes are so funny... and you are so smart... so how about that A+.

Classes were interesting so far…although she was getting a little sick of drawing stick figures, and life was generally good if not a little hectic. She ended up passing with flying colours and even getting a pretty hefty scholarship (definitely much-needed). To celebrate her results she headed to the local downtown area and to a dark looking goth club called Crypt O’Club. While she was dancing the manager, a sexy guy with white hair noticed her and after a bit of well-timed flirting on her part offered her a job as a DJ.

Please sexy white-haired guy... can I be a DJ... I promise I won't play the Backstreet Boys.

Ah ah ah ah stayin' alive stayin alive'.

Back in the dorms a blue-haired guy Seph had been getting to know turned out to be really nice and a lot of fun (his name was Waylon) even if he had no nose from a side view.

Good thing they don't realise the wall between the girl's and the boy's bathrooms is see-through

Seph decided to go out on a limb and invite him to go out to dinner and clubbing with her. She took him out to where else, the Crypt O'Club (she got free dinners there after all, and what is a struggling uni student if not stingy).

I really like you even though you have no nose.

He too was transfixed with her dance moves and it wasn’t too long before they were making out on the dance floor…

How well timed is that ray of light?

and on the couches…

Come on guys get a room.

and when Seph invited Waylon back to her dorm he definitely wasn’t saying no. When they got back Seph invited him up to her room and they ended up making out on her bed.

Gee I really like your posters Seph... oomph.

In the back of her head Seph was thinking (well this is it…my first woohoo) but she didn’t want Waylon to know that lest he think she was lame. It was definitely something Seph wished she had discovered earlier. Afterwards they drifted off to sleep in each others arms. However when Seph woke up she was all alone….Waylon had snuck out while she was sleeping and all he had left was a bunch of flowers saying “Thanks babe for the fun night…hope you have a nice life”.

What a crazy chick... I can't believe she actually fell for my old pick up lines.

Seph was utterly crushed…she couldn’t believe she had been so stupid to fall for some cad who was obviously only interested in her for all the wrong reasons. Obviously she was going to have to be more careful with who she went out with in the future.

Thanks babe for the fun night... hope you have a nice life.

Hey guys... this is my blog!

So... after reading other people’s awesome legacy challenge blogs I have decided to start my own. I have to admit I don’t think I am going to be playing as frequently as everyone else… but it will be a nice way to document the history of my sims anyway even if no-one ends up reading it. So… my wonderful boyfriend Jesper reformatted my exceedingly broken computer (I couldn’t add or remove programs anymore =(. I was suffering pretty badly from Sims withdrawal… it has been three months since I got to play (back when I was living in Sweden with him and he had to go to uni everyday… while I got to sit around all day playing the Sims…yay!).

So needless to say I am very happy to have it back up and running (and now I have Nightlife as well!). I have to say that it runs horribly slowly on my cruddy old compy… it is the first time I have played Sims 2 on it and while it was awesome for Sims 1 it just doesn’t quite cut it for number 2. Oh well… I’m so desperate to play I don’t care if it is laggy. Although having the graphics and stuff turned down so low does make me sad =(. I just hope the photos come out okay.

So on with the story I guess. My 1st generation sim is called Persephone Logan. I chose the last name after a certain gruff superhero with claws who I have a great fondness (read: obsession) for. Persephone (Seph) is a pretty cool chick. I have started her off with popularity cause I figure that’s a good one to have at university (where she is currently in her first semester and seems to be enjoying herself so far), what with unmade friends lurking in every corner. I'm not going to post anymore today because Jesper is heading back to Sweden on Monday and I want to spend time with him (he has been showing me how to make this blog) but after he is gone I am going to be pretty lonely and bored so more will come. I promise. If anyone actually ever reads this =). So without further ado... here is a pic of Seph.
