Jacksons: R1- Post Break Up Blues
My first entry since weddings! Now we will be seeing how Crystal Jackson live after the break up with Heath Starr. Enjoy! Oh yeah, beware of foul language from a frustrated female sim.
I really can’t believe my eyes when I arrived at my new home. It was a dump! I was being polite when I use the word dump. I can’t believe I paid 18 358 $ for this damn place!
I know that was not so lady like but who cares? The outer walls not even painted, the living room smaller than the mansion’s toilet, the kitchen looks like the mansion’s storage room and look at the bed, it look so miserable!
But I know life must go on, after all aren’t I the one who rejected sharing a better house with him? It was depressing, I can’t find a suitable job from that Aloha Island at all, I end up buying an easel and started painting. I’m sure with my talent I can earn a living. Who needs a commitment phobic anyway?
But still after painting non stop for days, I begin to feel lonely and wonder what he is doing in his new house, whether he had finish packing or not and all those nonsense. I thought I can resist the temptation to call him but I failed. He was not at home, I felt disappointed and relieve at the same time. What am I thinking anyway?
I spent the whole day lying on that cheap couch, wondering where he went and who he is with, it was stupid; he doesn’t even care about me…
I try my hand on cooking and Ouch! I t was painful when I cut my finger accidentally. I never thought cooking was so hard, it look so easy on those cooking shows. Damn, I am beginning to feel why he doesn’t want me to be his wife.
I always thought Piper is noisy and Erica is damn nosy back in the mansion during dinner but I never knew it could be so quiet and lonely without them, I miss those bitches…
I was so confident that picture I painted will sold for high price but man, Blade Arpan the guy whom I met online and agreed to help me sell my work, only paid me 11$ for it. ‘Too bland and expressionless’ he told me on the damn phone! And he even ask me to put more feeling when I’m painting. That jerk!
Well I was so upset by that until I found it hard to leave the house the next day but I scrambled out when I heard footsteps outside. I thought he comes visit me finally but it was just the mail girl handing me a utilities bill amounted to 52$.
After the mail girl left, a guy stopped by. Of course I greeted him; he is a handsome one although his dressing sense is worse than Heath. His name is Daniel Kowski, he wanted to scout around for suitable land to build a new home. I checked, he is not married.
I had thought he will leave after exchanging talks on weathers and birds (the real one not those thing you had in mind). But he waited for me to post my bills and showing no signs of bolting. So what a girl gonna do? Invite him in, of course!
We watched a talk show about making great friends and exchanged thoughts about friendship and stuff. I found him acceptable and agreeable. Maybe we can be more than friends? No rushing!
So, I invited him for lunch and we talked about various things from politics to the future about this island. I must admit he was more knowledgeable than Him. Maybe I can have a future with this guy?
But just like typical guys, he straight parked himself in front of the TV after eating without bother to ask if I need help. It reminded me of that guy again!!
But I decided to give him another chance. I invited him for dinner the next day and he did the same thing to me again! What is wrong with men? What with their obsession with the remote control and the damn TV?
So, I decided that he isn’t going to be a prospective partner at all. I sent him home without a goodbye kiss. But still with a saccharine smile.
I told Blake about the encounter with Daniel and he suggested I hang out with his friends in Rosedale Coffee Pub and Lounge on the Aloha Island. I agreed even though I have to fish out 100$ for the compulsory entry fee and taxi fee. Time to get out and smell the fresh air!
Aloha Island is so different and far more developed than Passion Island. The coffee lounge is pretty neat from outside too. Wonder how many people in there?
But the outing sucks, a teenage girl by the name of Janine Hallow kept on talking about engagement; marriage and she even dare to talk about my failed relationship with Heath. I was so embarrassed and ashamed that I stormed home without telling Blake.
After that day, I refused any invitation by Blake to any places and concentrated in painting and started planting some tomatoes. I even started cleaning the house everyday. I sold my painting for 56$ this time, I’m getting better according to Blake. But I still felt empty inside, wonder how he is doing now?
First Round: Spend: $19214
Earned:$87
Total Left:$873
That was really fun to read! Looks like Crystal had a rough beginning, but I’m glad things are improving for her. It’s too bad they were talking about her at the pub! Poor Crystal.
karen: It was rough for her thats for sure. Breaking up and starting a new life wasn’t easy. Thanks for reading!

Oh, Crystal how did it go so wrong for you? Poor girl
It sounds like things are looking up though, 56$ is definately better than 11 and Blake suddenly isn’t looking so bad…sounds like Crystal is lonely 
Karen: She broke it off with Heath due to his refusal to settle yet. She was upset by the change of the environment and the break up plus she discovered she wasn’t as good as she thought she was.

I think Crystal is doing well and she is probably going up. Can you please tell me where you downloaded those plates with different colours? They’re really nice!
karen: the plates come together with a download called Russian Food multipack or something like that, from mod the sims 2. I think if you type russian food inthe search on mod the sims 2 you can find it. Or if that doesn’t get you any result type caviar hamburger/cherry dumpling.
