In keeping with the rules of the Homemaker challenge, I built her an unfurnished house and tried to use up as much money as possible (I think she had like $120 left over). It is completely unfurnished except for a a tiny kitchen and bathroom (both are counted as being unfurnished in the game). With that last little bit of money left over I bought her a table and chair and a sleeping bag and that's it!
She rolled the want to join the Police Department so that's what she did. I have a hard time seeing her as a cop but if that's what she wants to do who am I to stop her...
Her new job requires logic skills so she headed down to the park.
Michelle: Oh no, I think I'm losing!
Michelle: Oh never mind, it's okay, I won!
Yeah brains aren't really her strong point...
Apparently watching Michelle play chess against herself is SUPER INTERESTING.
Well that's a bit...suspicious...
It was getting dark and Michelle was getting hungry so she finally gave in and headed back to her empty, lonely home to make herself a salad.
Michelle: Ow, I cut my finger :(
Michelle: Oh god I'm all alone in this empty house and my life sucks D:
There was absolutely nothing else to do so Michelle picked up the paper. At least it's something to do, right?
To add to her misery, it was a gloomy, rainy night.
She was too poor to afford a proper bed so a sleeping bag on the floor it is.
Grrrr, ever since I installed Into the Future my sims' eye shadow keeps glitching out and my game replaces whatever I choose with an ugly, weird ITF shadow. It's seriously pissing me off!!
Michelle: YAY MY FIRST DAY OF WORK I'M SO EXCITED!!!!
Oh dear god, this was her work uniform. MY EYESSSSS.
After work she had to go to the gym to borrow their shower as she's still too broke to buy one for herself.
And it's back to the park for her.
Michelle: Ugh what the hell, they cheated! That's not fair!
She's still not getting the concept of "playing by yourself"
She had a little extra money so I bought her a bookcase. Maybe it's not the most practical way to spend her money but at least now she'll have something to do.
Off to the summer festival!
She found a snake! She caught him but he escaped because she didn't have the money to buy a terrarium for him.
Mmmm, free snowcones! I didn't realize that the different flavours give sims different moodlets, that's kinda cool!
Michelle: Oh god I'm gonna die, I just know it!
So pretty! I love Barnacle Bay <33
She tried to make herself some mac 'n cheese but she burned it badly.
And she burned her second attempt too. It's a really good thing she's not the homemaker, otherwise they'd all starve.
And it's back to the festival grounds, where she took advantage of the grill.
Oh wow, she didn't burn them. Miracles do happen!
Water balloon fight!
Got her!
Michelle: God dangit you got me wet!
Michelle: Must. Not. Get. Hit!
Barnacle Bay is apparently the place for celebs, and miss star struck here got to meet one of them.
Michelle: omg *giggles* I can't believe I'm actually meeting you! Could I get your autograph? Please? And maybe take a picture with you too?
Celeb: Oh good god these impudent morons. No miss, I do not take pictures with anyone.
Michelle: Then would you at least give me your autograph? Please? Please please please please?
Celeb: ALRIGHT! I will, if you promise to just leave me alone!
Michelle: YAYAYAYAY!
Celeb: Who do I make this out to?
Michelle: What? You want to make out with me??
Celeb: NO! What is your name, miss?
Michelle: Oh *giggles* my name is Michelle.
Michelle: Thank you so much! Oh my god I'm so happy to have finally gotten to meet you!
Celeb: Uh huh. Here you go miss.
Michelle: This is the best day of my life! I'll never forget this day!
Celeb: Uh huh. I feel like a phone call is about to come in, if you'll excuse me I'm just going to step away and take it when it comes. Good bye miss.
Flowers! She actually made quite a bit of money by picking these flowers and then selling them. Plus she got some to decorate her otherwise sparse house.
This guy was so special, he just sat there sobbing at this random gravestone that I'm pretty sure was decoration only and didn't belong to anyone.
She's still failing miserably at cooking. She's gonna starve before she meets Brad!
She has books to read now! And flowers that make her house look less miserable and depressing!
Back to the festival to pick up some more flowers!
Michelle: Hello. Do I want to buy what? Excuse me?
Michelle: No I don't want to buy your stupid crap! Why are you calling me?!
Michelle: DON'T YOU EVER CALL ME AGAIN DO YOU HEAR ME? *hangs up*
Telemarketers make her crazy.
She's way too poor to afford a computer, so since her LTW is to master the painting and writing skills, it's off to the library to use one of their ancient PCs.
Yay for upgrades :D
Time to meet Brad! She's gone way too long being single, she's not getting any younger!
Michelle: I like dogs, I want to adopt one sometime.
Brad: OMG DOGS! I just love cute little puppies!
Michelle: I've always wanted a big strong man to come and protect me *giggles*
Brad: What? No! I can't do it! YOU CAN'T PUT THAT KIND OF PRESSURE ON ME!
Michelle: Woah, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you mad...
Michelle: Here, I got you this. Make up present?
Brad: What? No! I don't want your stupid crap!
Michelle: FU!
This is not going well.
The next day, after work, Michelle thought she'd try again and invited Brad out to the art gallery.
He was still not impressed. Probably because she looks hideous in that work uniform.
It was a full moon, and in the middle of their conversation I looked away and then looked back and suddenly Brad was a zombie. I did not see that coming!
And then this dude transformed into a werewolf right behind them.
Apparently zombies can't control their bowels.
Brad: Oh god that smells horrible.
Michelle: Yeah. I'm just gonna go now. Don't call me, I'll call you 'kay?
Brad: Oh god that was so embarrassing!
Brad: Heh, everyone has off days, right? Hehe....
Brad: I'm still one sexy beast.
Werewolf: I can't even!
Michelle: Oh god I can't deal with this!
Michelle: Ohhh the world is spinning!
*passes out*
Michelle: I-I-I'm okay. I think. I can get home. Oh god
The next afternoon, Michelle headed back to the festival grounds where she found this little guy.
Michelle: Hi little birdy. You sure are pretty! Why don't you come and hop up on my arm?
Michelle: Good boy! Yay I finally have a pet!
All settled in to his new home. She named him Azraq.
Michelle finally had enough money to support herself and a pet so she headed down to animal control and adopted this little guy. He's a purebred German Rex (we'll just ignore how rare that breed is and how unlikely it is that one would appear in a shelter) named Heiko. Heiko's traits are shy, neat, and destructive.
She finally got promoted high enough to have a proper uniform. Now she can get rid of her previous horrendous uniform. After coming home from work she decided to invite Brad over and try yet again to make a positive impression on him.
Awww, he brought her flowers! So sweet!
I'd say things are going much better this time!
*stares deeply into each other's eyes*
I guess Brad finally realized that any girl who would still want him after watching him turn into a zombie and pee himself during a date is a girl worth sticking with. And Michelle's too dumb to know any better.
Ugh seriously? Freaking cat!
I don't know what his deal was. I don't know if he was freaking out over the couch or over Michelle's cooking or what. He's just special that way.
Michelle was smart and opted for a nice autumn salad instead of trying to cook for Brad.
Brad: Oh goody goody, a beautiful girl just invited me into her bedroom :D
Yup, things are definitely going well this time.
Very well.
Brad: Oh yeah, I'm awesome! No woman can resist me!
Yeahhh you just keep telling yourself that dude
In fact, things were going so well that Michelle invited Brad to the fall festival to ask him a very important question.
Michelle: Will you marry me?
Brad: OMGGASPAHHHHHH
He said yes!
Celebrating their engagement with an eating contest. Because how else would you celebrate getting engaged?
This chick won, though I think she's seriously regretting her life choices right now.
Neither of them really have very many friends so they decided to have a private wedding on the beach.
I can think of worse places to get married!
This was her face. She is so special.
Aww, how cute.
I now pronounce you husband and wife. Michelle, you may now try to eat Brad's face.
Brad: I just love my beautiful new wife!
On that note, I think I'll go ahead and end this chapter. It's already a bit long and image heavy. Next update features kids! And more specialness from both Brad and Michelle.
