Excellent! I've already got my sims made - I think: I assume that teens are allowed if this is a prom thing? Also, what are the photo requirements for the app? I can't find them.

May I be a judge? :D

Name - Ashley
DOB - 11th July 1988
Lives- United Kingdom

I have wanted to do something like this since I was younger. All the lads have been joking around, saying what a girl I act like but it is a matter of choice for me, I enjoy being in the limelight! My best friend, Regan was a little reluctant to do this contest. You could say I dragged her here! I'm sure she will let you know all about it in her part of the interview!

Ok. So you could say I am some what a poser, but I in no way think of myself highly. You won't get me standing in front of a mirror, plucking my eyebrows and what have you, now that would be girly! I think I'm a good looking bloke, but wouldn't rate myself above a 6 out of 10.

Name - Regan
DOB - 22nd May 1988
Lives - United Kingdom

As you can probably tell from my appearence, this isn't my scene. Ashley came to me only yesterday saying his original girl had dropped out of helping him so I decided to help him out. He has been there for me through so much so I guess this is my way of paying him back. I just hope they don't expect me to dye my hair blonde and stick a gallon of fake tan on because there are some things I won't do!

People have been hinting to me all day that I should brighten my colours up. Something about 'looking washed out' whatever that means. Yeah I wear black but that is my style! Just like girly girls love thier pink, I love my black. Simple.

Ashley : This was fun, wasn't it? I enjoyed this part the most.
Regan : It was ok, I'm not to kean on flowers though. And they really itched my legs!

Bio


Hey there, nice to meet you. My name is Diana Wolf and I'm an architect. I was born and grew up in SimCity, and moved to Martinsburg about five years ago. I'm a partner at an architectural firm in the nearest city, and I commute to the city every weekday, and occasionally on Saturdays. I got my degree at Sim State University when I was 23, having done a gap year program in Mexico. I met my boyfriend, Josh at Club @, where we're going to celebrate our approximate - niether of us is the type to remember the exact date we started seeing someone - one year anniversary today. He's four years younger than me, which at first was a little weird. I've gotten used to it, though, and Josh is worth the occasional strange look.

Bio


Hullo, folks. I'm Josh Evans. I'm flattered you've picked me and Diana for this contest, and I'm sure we'll knock your socks off, no matter what the challenge. I met Diana soon after I finished graduate school - I've got a master's in world history - and for me at least, it was love at first sight. I think it took a little longer for Diana, though I know she was interested in me as a friend since the first time we talked. We're living together now in a small house on an amazing beachfront property. I'm teaching at the local high school, and occasionally at the community college. I love being able to help kids who were in the same spot I was in a few years back - ready for a four year college intellectually, but not in terms of study skills. Diana is definitely the main breadwinner in our house, but she knows I love what I do and thinks it's great that I've chosen a job that lets me give back to the community.


http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/Hyperion_Rising/Sims%20Contests/r1freeshot.jpg

Diana and Josh are a couple who love being together, having fun together, and sharing their interests. They've been going strong for a year now, and they still love living and laughing together. Though Diana was initially a little nervous about dating a younger man, she's very happy she went for it. As for Josh, he's found that an older woman doesn't make that much difference when he's mature and she's young at heart.

[Raindrops757]

LouBarratt88 - Your application looks really good! Both your sims have beautiful eyes.

Hygh Tyme - Your application looks really good so far!

BTW; Can sims be 'supernatural' ie, vampires or aliens?

[happyasabunny]

Gale and Regina are two people that love to hang out together an have a lot of fun.

Regina is 21 years old and is a software developer at Microsoft. Don't let her job fool you she is really quite out going and loves to have fun. She is a lot smarter than most, but she doesn't let that show through when she talks to people.

Gale is 22 years old and is also a software developer at Microsoft. He isn't that smart from an academic point of view, but he is great when it comes to working with software and all things hands on. He is sometimes shy and because of that people see him as stuck up, even though he isn't. He is outgoing once you get to know him and if you were looking out from the inside you would see an average Joe that likes to spend time with his girl and have fun.

[happyasabunny]

I wasn't sure if I needed a headshot but if so I will add them.

[PuX- 80's]

Raindrops, Yes. Any species.
Lou, Only one picture per person is needed, a Posing body shot, of course with the free couple shot.
happyasabunny, No, head shots aren't needed, but accepted.

[betterthanbarbiie]

im going to join! just to warn you, i'm competing in most eligible bachelor and i'm entering his brother in this one so they look sorta alike :)

[LouBarratt88_SC]

I'm gonna have to edit tomorrow, too tired now lol.

[betterthanbarbiie]

Lou, you have really hott sims lol

[goabigail]

cute contest. i wanna enter!!

[jj1010]

Im deciding wether or not to enter..

Edit

Ok I decided I am. Ill have my app ready soon.

[aba23_SC]

Oh boy, I am mutating to become a contest junkie. I like this one...but when I saw LouBarratt88 application I was scared off. This Sims are amazing and the pictures are great. So I am not sure whether I should join...I will sleep over it.

[PuX- 80's]

The more contestants the better, there might just be a shiny star at the end.

[jj1010]

So wait Im a little confused on the picture requirements for the app. Do we need a headshot and bodyshot for each sim and then a shot of them together or a headshot bodyshot and freeshot for each sim then a freeshot together? Now I'm even more confused :P

[beatnikbunny]

I had a lot of fun in your last contest PuX, so Im going to enter this one! I just finished making my two sims, but Im off to bed so Ill have my app in much later tomorrow night. :)

Well, I’ve never been one for modeling, though I have to say, I definitely have the face for it. Before I met Rosie, I was a bit of a player, but one conversation with her and I was willing to change everything for her. At the moment I work in a garage restoring old cars, and that’s what I do in my spare time when I’m not with Rosie. We first met two years ago, and at first it was just a friendship, but eventually we grew closer until how we are today, and neither of us could be happier!

Before I met Hugh I was never one for dating. I suppose it’s odd that I met him, one of the biggest players in town, and he was my first and last love experience. At the moment I work as a librarian in a primary school, and I’m loving every minute of it though I don’t know if I want kids of my own. When I’m not with Hugh or at school, I spend my spare time brushing up on history about my greatest interest, the Civil War, though most of my free time is with Hugh. We met at a party at a bar a couple of years ago, and have been pretty much inseparable ever since.

Tay: "Yup, that's me up there...surprised? When my mother was nineteen she was abducted by aliens, not such a strange occurrence for where she resided. They plucked her right up from her back porch on her house in Strangetown. She came back pregnant with me, and nine months later there I was in her arms. She has told me that the night she was abducted was the craziest and scariest night of her life, but the outcome was remarkable and wonderful and she would do it all over again in a heartbeat. I know, makes your heart melt doesn't it?"

Tay: "That's my Simsanto Inc. Biotech Station, I use it in my free time to just mess around with microbes. Growing up I was always drawn to science, so it was a no-brainer for me to get a degree in exobiology. That's technically, 'the search for the origin of life on the Earth, and in the Universe,' if you were wondering. After graduation, I went on to work for SASO (Sims Aeronautics and Space Organization) and ended up on the Universal Space Station, which is where I met my beautiful girlfriend, Brei."

Brei: "Hi! I'm Brei. Yes, like the cheese..." *sigh* "I grew up here in Belladonna Cove and honestly never thought I'd be back. I had a really rough childhood. My parents constantly fought, my dad would leave for days and come back wasted...On top of that I was the biggest geek in school and had zero friends. I suppose I wouldn't want to be friends with a plant obsessed girl who smells like potting soil either...but the past is the past and I've been really trying to let it all go. Oh my GOD, you don't want to hear all this, sorry!"

Bodyshot
http://i473.photobucket.com/albums/rr100/ktbcca/hearts/brei2.jpg

Brei: "I'll get on with the story...It was always my dream to be a botanist, and after paying my way through college as a waitress, I finally fulfilled that dream and received my diploma. A few years after college I landed a job with SASO. They were searching for a way to keep astronauts fed in space for long periods of time. I was assigned to the task and sent to the Universal Space Station to do my research. It was an amazing process, what with the huge plant growth chambers and whatnot but I got something out of the assignment I really didn't expect, my girlfriend Tay."

Freeshot
http://i473.photobucket.com/albums/rr100/ktbcca/hearts/freeshot1.jpg

Brei: "We arrived at the space station at practically the same time, and met during a mutual lunch break. Since our first meeting, if we weren't working, we were together. After spending almost eight months on the space station, our assignments led us back to earth where we took the relationship to the next level, and moved in together. We bought a small house in Belladonna cove and are slowly making it our own. Life has gotten a lot less hectic since we landed back on earth, and although we still have heavy workloads, we manage to squeeze in a lot more alone time. As you can see in the picture, we actually got to have a little picnic! Well, I might have enjoyed it a bit more than Tay..."

Tay: *ahem* "Oh no sweetie, it was great! Good times..." *cough*

Brei: *sigh* "Anyway, We are so thankful we get to be a part of this contest, we can't wait to find out what is in store for us next!"

I'm a bit confused over how much we are supposed to write for the application. When I wrote mine I went by the 4 sentence per picture rule, but now I'm wondering if I should shorten it a bit so I don't lose points for not keeping it under 10 sentences per sim...? Halp! :)

Hi there, reporters with a large telescope lens! I'm Deborah Johnson and I recently jumped out of the Sim Bin into Pleasantville and became "good" friends with my counterpart, Deborah Draiman. Hmmmm, we seem to look a lot alike. I wonder how that is. We think alike. We have a lot in common -- must be why it was so easy for us to hook up with one another. Before Deb and I became bosum buddies, I worked as a dj at a radio station and did modelling on the side over in Minneapolis. It was great fun. Any-hoo, I'm a 24-year-old hot blonde . . . "

"24?!!!! You're not 24!!! Ask anybody. They've seen you around here before and know your age lady!"

" . . . Well . . . I've been to the Sim Bin. You know that Fountain of Youth that knocks you back to the beginning of adulthood everytime you move. Yay for me. I'm all but a teeny-bopper once again.

"If you get to be 24 I get to be 29!"

"Oh! Deborah! Now, you made me forget what I was saying. Give me a minute people, I'll remember. I have a brain cramp."

"Brain? Brain! Gimme the brain. I'm hungry!"

"Uhhhh! I give up! Get down off that rock, quit playing around with Christ, drag your leg over here and tell these people about yourself!

And, before I forget -- I GET TO BE THE GIRL!!!!"

"Hmmmmmph. I am just seeing how tall he is. What else is there for a living dead girl to do when you don't want to have any fun til after dark? And then you get mad at me when I nibble on you. An undead girl gets hungry, you know. Let's sit down and talk, I want to pick your brain."

"Oh, I'm sure you want to pick my brain, all right. Get over here and sit in that chair so I can gaze upon your beauty from a distance."

"Okay, okay, I'm sitting, I'm sitting. I think they are starting to put Pleasantville back together. See all the green? It was so dark and bleak everywhere when I was off trying to be the best model in the world. Sometimes I remember back when I was just like you, Deborah."

"My name is Deborah Draiman. I used to have a happy home, friends, family . . . now, I have my friend Deborah. I'm 29 -- if she gets to be 24, I get to be 29 . . "

"Whatever."

"What's age to a hot blonde zombie girl anyway? Being Prom Queen is everything. I want to win so bad I can taste it. It even tastes kind of like a creamy white brain. Nummy.

I want to win this contest really bad. Badder than I want to eat brains. I don't want to be the first loser this time, I want to be the winner.

AND I GET TO BE THE GIRL!!!!"

"Hey! I said I get to be the girl!"

"I get to be the girl, you get to be the boy. I'm wearing a dress!"

"What????!!!! I'm wearing a dress, you brain-obsessed looney-toon beauty!"

(Rip, snap, crackle, pop. Tussle sounds.)

"Not anymore! You'll be dressed like a boy when I'm done with you, sugar plum!"

"LADIES!!! STOP!!! I'll be the boy!"

"Ohhhh! Pookie, you came back!!! I'm so happy now."

"Hey, who are you? Who is he, Deborah? What's he doing here?"

"I AM DD's boy friend. Not you. Now you just sashay your apple-bottom on down the road. Go find yourself one of those rock stars you so love."

"Huh! What are you doing looking at her bum?"

"You're the one that ripped her dress half off. What are you doing with her? I turn my back for -- what -- five hours and you're onto someone else? I'm your reason for living. You -- you -- go over there and meet those dregs of society I brought back here for you. I'm the King of your world. I'm . . . ."

"I'm JJ deClone and I'm a 35-year-old stunt double. You might think I look just like that whor -- I mean, womanizer -- Jackdaw Macadema, but I'm a far stretch from that poser and I'm sick of posing in his place. I've been all over Simland and like it best here in Pleasantville where I've spent the last few months with the undead love of my life, Deborah. We've been through thick and thin and we'll get through this latest muddle and win those crowns on Prom Night!"

"Ahhhh, I remember this night. It's the first time I looked up into your eyes and saw the hunger in them. Hunger for me. I knew you wanted me more than you ever wanted any other man in your life. Or death? I just knew from that moment on nothing was going to keep me from having you for my very own. You're my one and only queen and the world will know it come Prom Night."

Are we allowed to enter multiple couples?

[PuX- 80's]

HyghTyme, Right now, I'm saying 'No' to multi-contestants. If we get down to needing a few more contestants to make 10 then I might say Yes.

Well . . . in case we can . . . my poor other self sim was straggling down the road looking over her shoulder to make sure she was holding her dress closed enough to hide her bum, not looking where she was going, so, of course, lo and behold, she ran smack dab into one of those countless rock stars cluttering up my neighborhood. They just don't seem to stay in the sim bin once they're put there, do they? It must've been love at first sight, first bolt of lightning, first toe stubbing.

Yep, happyasabunny, she's back. I'm here to have fun, she's here to win.

Hello my name Tyson, but you can just call me Ty for short; everyone else does. Hmm, what's there to say. Im 23. Um, I was born in Pleasantview, I moved to SimCity when I was 21, got a job and an apartment; and I've been living there ever since. I work as mechanic in a little garage in the heart of SimCity. After a bad breakup a few of my friends set me up on a date-- much to my disagreement, I might add-- And thats how I met Eliza. Turns out we had surprisingly a lot in common. That was three months ago. We've been dating for quite a while now, and just the other night while I was on a date with Eliza, the weirdest thing happened. We were asked to come join a contest for couples. Hearts Consume the Stars, they called it. Well, honestly I've never really liked modeling and such, but Eliza was so excited, so I'm going to do this for her. And, hey, mabye I'll like it.

Hi I'm Eliza. Im 21 years old. I was born on August 14th 1988 in Veronaville. I moved to SimCity just a year and a half ago. I work as a waitress at a small restaurant in the middle of SimCity called Roxxy's. I met Ty when my friend set me up on a blind date. When I first saw him, I was a little worried. The tatoos, and the hair, and the overall bad boy look were a little... offsetting. But after the first date, I realized how completely and utterly wrong I was. He turned out to be a really, sweet, funny guy. Then when we were on a date the other night, these people came up to us and said we had been asked to join a contest: Hearts Consume the Stars. I was really excited, I had always wanted to do something like this! Well Ty wasn't so thrilled; he's not really into the whole modeling thing, but he agreed to try and have fun. I'm so excited!

Please for my sanity call me Chris (I don't even react to Christopher anymore...), I'm 20 and I'm a car salesman working in my dad's dealership just outside Rochester, which specialize in vintage cars. I love my job and I'm pretty good at it. I'm a real people person *cough*as well as being really really ridiculously good looking*cough* which helps. Personality wise, I know I can be pretty dopey, some/all of the time. I'm one for taking chances and not thinking of the risks, sure its not always clever but hey you only liv once right?

Rochester, Kent. England
Short Biography
Hello. Please call me Allie. Currently I'm a history student at the moment (snore...) who does bookkeeping (double snore...) to keep a roof over my head. I/m hoping to become a teacher when I graduate. I'm pretty much hopelessly awkward 90% of the time, I seem to have no control of my limbs or the dumb things that come out of my mouth either which usually results in me doing something stupid. I was actually born in Hawaii (and now I'm in usually cold and boring Rochester *sigh*) and spent quite a bit of my early life traveling. If I could tear Chris away from his job I'd love to see even moe of the world.

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j96/emodawg/alliebody.jpg

Together
Despite not getting on amazingly when we first met, (Chris was too loud and full of himself, Allie was usually quiet and when she wasn't she was condescending) because Rochester is such a quiet, sleepy little old fashioned kind of town, most people our age flee as soon as they can to places more exciting so it was either learn to deal with each other or take up preteen or pensioner friends... Luckily once we got past our initial differences we found we quite liked each other and have been able to endure each other for the last 6 months.

Rebecca Brojan

Born- June 27th 1989

Place of Residence- Redgrave Valley

Hello I'm Rebecca. To you, I probably look very strange and out of place but to my kind, I'm just a normal 19 year old girl. I just wish I was normal. You see, some months ago I fell for a great guy, really caring and protective. It's every girl's fantasy, including mine but it's not quite that simple. The thing is that I'm an elf, a dweller of the fields as we call it. My family is very proud of our heritage and they would be disgusted to learn that I'm in love with a human. It's tearing me apart. I don't want to leave my family- they may be old-fashioned and over-bearing but it would also mean leaving my home and frankly I don't belong in the human world. On the other hand, there's Renn. I love him more than anything and I know that he's the one, but the odds seem to be stacked against us and it's getting harder and harder to prove them wrong. We decided to go ahead with this competiton because we know it will make us stronger together. I've come to realise that one day I will have to tell my family about Renn and not let their opinions affect our happiness. We know that we belong together and now we're going to prove it to everyone.

Renn Carey

Born- 19th May 1987

Place of Residence - Redgrave City

So where do I begin? I'm just a 21 year old guy who met a beautiful girl and wants to spend the rest of his life with her right?
Well, that's it really, but things can't ever be that easy. Rebecca's family don't know about me. She says they would likely hurt me and have her exiled if they did. I couldn't care less if they hurt me. It's all worth it for my girl. The thing is that Rebecca isn't quite...human. She's terrified of not fitting in to our world, she says her family might not be supportive but they're Elfin like she is and that she belongs with them. Only she doesn't want to. I just wish I was the good guy that Rebecca thinks I am. The truth is that I'm a criminal, a burglar to be accurate. I'm not proud of it but it pays the bills and I don't have the qualifications to get a proper job. I can't let Rebecca know about it. That day that she found me, I was beaten, broken and half-dead from smoke inhalation but it stays in my mind as the best day of my life. I just want us to run away to together and start afresh. But we can't do that. We have to let the world know that we're together and proud of it. One day, all this stupid Romeo and Juliet business will be over and we will finally be a couple.
Somehow, we're going to make that happen.

One day, we will be together....

I'm also an up and coming model and am pretty new on the scene, I'm hoping to make a big name for myself someday. anyway I love the European countryside and can't wait to see more, I'm also glad that I got a chance to participate in this contest with Aiden. And in case anyone was wondering I am a homosexual, it don't bother me any, I'm pretty open about it and have a pretty big heart.

Tay Cesal and Brei Wharton- Round One

http://i473.photobucket.com/albums/rr100/ktbcca/hearts/park5.jpg

Brei- "Ah, our first date. Well, our first official date anyway. After moving to Belladonna Cove our first outing was to Treeleaf Park. I was dying for a bit of real nature after being out in space for so many months, so I dragged Tay here for a day in the great outdoors."

Tay- "It was actually a lot of fun, as you can see I had a great time horsing around on the monkey bars."

http://i473.photobucket.com/albums/rr100/ktbcca/hearts/park4.jpg

Brei- *giggle* "Remember when you burnt those hot dogs?"

Tay- *laughs* "Oh yeah, even I thought it was pretty funny. I mean, why in the world did I ever think I could grill? I can operate the most advanced equipment on a space shuttle, but grill a hot dog? No way."

http://i473.photobucket.com/albums/rr100/ktbcca/hearts/park3.jpg

Brei- "This was really the first time we showed off our romance to anyone outside of our coworkers. I was really nervous, I had no idea how people would react to us. It turned out fine though, most people didn't even seem to pay us any attention."

Interview:

Ma'am, if you had the chance, would you date any other man? Explain your reasoning.

Brei- "Absolutely not. Tay is my soul mate and I really see us together for the rest of our lives. We may seem like an odd couple, but I think we really compliment each other. We know everything about each other and none of our faults get in the way of our love."

Sir, When you first started dating your girlfriend, did you ever see you two getting this far? Explain.

Tay- "You know what? I never thought about it. Our romance on the space station was one of those things where it just went so fast you didn't have time to think. Looking back, I don't think I had any doubts about our relationship though. Since I met her I always thought we would be together always."

Brei- *sigh* "You are so romantic sometimes, I love it!" *giggle*

Both, Do you two ever see having kids together? Explain.

Tay- "Our work is really unpredictable, one day we could be here in Belladonna Cove and the next one of us could find out we are being relocated or sent out in space again. That would be a really hard decision to make."

Brei- "We do talk about it sometimes. Adopting a child would bring so much joy to our lives. I would love that so much."

Tay- "Oh, I would love it too. I can just see myself teaching our child to use a microscope, how to operate my biotech station..."

Brei- "But if they weren't into science that would be totally fine, right sweetie?"

Tay- *ahem* "Yeah, of course..."

Brei- "Someday soon I'm sure we will be able to make a permanent home. Once that happens I don't think anything can stop us from building a family of our own. Neither of us had a stable childhood, and that is definitely something I want for our kids."

Tay- "I suppose I'll have to be the father figure?"

Brei- *laughs* "Well I'm not exactly manly am I?"

Tay- "Good call."

http://i473.photobucket.com/albums/rr100/ktbcca/hearts/park7.jpg

Brei- "For now, we'll just enjoy each other and the time we have together."

Tay- "Hey that's better than good enough for me."

[LouBarratt88_SC]

I have a little problem with doing round one...my two sims aren't actually a couple, they are best friends :S ! Not sure what to do.

[Deatherella]

If I edit in thought bubbles with pics of future children into them for my Round I entry, is it just considered editing or a collage? Are collages okay in something like that? I'm dreaming up stuff for my free shot and answering one of the questions at the same time. One of my photo editors has thought bubbles you can stick into pics -- and then you can stick a pic in that, you know what I mean.

[jj1010]

Lou, Why don't you make them become a couple?

Or edit your app so they are a couple?

EDIT

ok my app is now all wrapped up :D

[lethifold]

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g198/Bloochi22/First-Date-3.jpg

Rose: Wow, our first date! We looked so different back then. That was a fun day…
Hugh: It really was, babe. Of course, at the beginning I wasn’t too sure of how to act and whatever, so I was kind of nervous. Remember the swing?
Rose: *laughs* How could I forget? You were scared to touch me, and I had to coax you into pushing me!
Hugh: You forget I had never even been on a proper date before that though, babe.
Rose: True. Oh well, it was funny at the time.

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g198/Bloochi22/First-Date-1.jpg

Hugh: Oh jeez, not this!
Rose: *laughs* I remember this! You were trying to impress me by break dancing. Well, attempting to, at least. I was trying not to laugh the entire time.
Hugh: How was I meant to know that making myself look like a moron wouldn't impress you? I bet you were impressed. You just didn’t want to admit it, Rosie.
Rose: You keep thinking that, darling.

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g198/Bloochi22/First-Date-2.jpg

Rose: The statues! Well, of course, not really statues. You were, once again, trying to impress me with your knowledge of art by comparing the statues to real sculptures.
Hugh: *laughs* Oh, that was fun. Little did I know all I had to do was tell you that I build cars for a living, and you would be all mine.
Rose: I’m a sucker for a mechanic.
Hugh: You’re nearly a better mechanic than I am, babe! Nearly.

Ma'am, if you had the chance, would you date any other man? Explain your reasoning.

Hm, before things had started getting serious with Hugh, I could imagine myself being with another man, but only because I didn’t think he could remain faithful to me for long enough. Now that our relationship has progressed, Hugh is the only man I could ever see myself with in the future. We have so much in common, even though I never thought we would, and he's really settled down, which is very surprising. He’s absolutely perfect for me, even if I didn’t see it at the beginning.

Sir, When you first started dating your girlfriend, did you ever see you two getting this far? Explain.

Me? Stay with just one chick? Pfft, no way. Well, not back then, anyway. When I first met my Rosie I thought she’d be just like all the others, a one nighter. I can’t say I’m proud of my old ways, but they were a lot of fun. Those first few years were some of the best of my life. I would consider them the best years of my life until I met Rose. Back then Rose was just another woman in the sea, but now she’s the only person I have ever loved. Back then I could never see us getting past one very, very busy night, but now I can’t see a future without her.

Both, Do you two ever see having kids together? Explain.

Rose: Hm, for me, kids are a tough one. I would like to eventually have some, but at the moment, when I spend all my days with kids, I like being able to come home to a quiet house.
Hugh: Yeah, being able to have a quiet house is pretty nice, but can you imagine some little Rosies running around the place? Wouldn’t you like that, babe?
Rose: Of course I would, darling, but still. I work with kids all day, but I think that once I get a job somewhere other than with kids, like perhaps a nice library somewhere, seeing as that’s what I’m mainly trained to do, kids would definitely be an option for us. And don’t I get any little Hughs?
Hugh: Whatever you want, Rosie. I just would have thought you would be sick of me by now.
Rose: And you aren’t sick of me? Anyway, I do see us having kids, but not for a while. There are still a few things for us to sort out before kids.

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g198/Bloochi22/Present-Day.jpg

Rose: I love this park. I can’t think of another place where my memories are as good as they are here.
Hugh: Yeah, so much good stuff happened here. This was the place of our very first kiss, if I’m not mistaken.
Rose: Which you aren’t. Hopefully this park will stay standing for many years to come, and we can create plenty more memories together here.
Hugh: I hope you’re right, babe.

Diana: I told Josh when he first asked me out that if I was going to date him, there was someone whose approval I needed, and to meet me at Martinsburg Park that Saturday.

Josh: I have no idea what I expected, but Finkle, Diana's boxer, wasn't it. Turns out she refuses to date anyone who can't at least learn to get along with her dog.

http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/Hyperion_Rising/Sims%20Contests/firstdate2.jpg

Josh: Lucky for me, I'm pretty good with animals, and Finkle is about as sweet as possible.

Diana: For a while there, he was paying more attention to Finkle than me. It was hilarious watching how wrapped up they got in each other.

Picture too large -- please click here. (http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn175/Hyperion_Rising/Sims%20Contests/FIRSTdate3.jpg)

Diana: Eventually, those two managed to tire themselves out - I helped a bit, of course - and Josh had to sit down and catch his breath. I decided to do some fishing, and we talked for at least an hour, maybe two.

Josh: At least two. It was a great conversation, one of many we've had. We talked about everything from politics to sports, not to mention dogs. We still come to this park, both with and without Finkle.

http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/Aedrin_2009SIMS/TreyAidendate1.jpg

Trey-So I was sitting in my Paris hotel bored out of my mind when I got a call on my cell, it was Aiden. He asked me what I was doing during the weekend and if I would have anytime off, I had told him earlier in the week before I left that I'd be in Paris for some a modeling job. So I told him that I had that evening and the next day off.

Aiden-'e said that 'e wanted to get together with me and perhaps go do something together, little did I know that eet would change into one of da most romantic nights in my life.

Trey-We ended up at this beautiful little park in central Paris,there was a bench with some gorgeous roses behind it so we decided to have a passerby take our picture to remember our evening by.

Aiden- *Blush* 'e looked so good, 'e had just gotten done that evening and was still wearing his modeling outfit.

http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/Aedrin_2009SIMS/TreyAidendate2.jpg

Trey-We wandered around the park and stopped in front of a gorgeous fountain, I decided to risk it all and give Aiden a song.

Aiden- *Giggles* 'et was off da wall! I never expected 'em to do that, 'e also had a good voice! 'e likes to do little things like this for me and i just love eet!

Trey-*Grins and kisses his nose* I'm just a romantic at heart luv!

http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/Aedrin_2009SIMS/TreyAidendate3.jpg

Trey-This park had these little tables with candles on them, so Aiden and I sat at one and talked. We found out alot about each other, I reached over and held his hand. I instantly felt tingles, I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him.

Aiden-After our first date I ended up flying back to Austraila with 'em, I had never been out of Europe! It was the best first date ever, and just like 'e said we knew we were destined to be together. We just clicked so well together!

Interview

http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/Aedrin_2009SIMS/TreyAiden-proposal.jpg

Aiden-Ma'am, if you had the chance, would you date any other man? Och! no I wouldn't I love Trey with all my 'art I do! Things got really serious with him. especially at the park on our first date, let's just say i ended up back at 'es 'otel room *blush*

Trey-Sir, When you first started dating your girlfriend, did you ever see you two getting this far? Honestly, no I didn't. I figured with my busy modeling schedule he would be turned off and eventually leave me. I honestly pictured myself living all alone in some rundown apartment with a dog and my career.

Trey and Aiden-Both, Do you two ever see having kids together? We'd love to have kids someday I think it's definantly in our future, though things for people like us it's hard and alot of people frown upon it. We recently just got engaged actually at the park we had our first date in, but children are definantly something in mine and Aiden's future.

[LouBarratt88_SC]

Ashley: People are going to be shocked at the news we have.
Regan: I think I'm still in shock with the news we have, hehe!

Ashley and Regan have since gotten together since the Application Round of Hearts Consume The Stars. As they tell us the story, we can't help but notice how in love these two really are.

Regan: It just sort of happened. No one thought it ever would because of how different we are, but they also forget we have known each other since we were children. I love him, and I think I always have.

The pair snuggle and frolick while they get made over for their present picture in the park they spent the day at not so long ago. This is by far a huge surprise to see! Our interviewer gets down to some business..,

Regan, if you had the chance, would you date any other man?
"I've had many chances, and I have dated other men before finally getting together with Ash'. But none of them were right for me, and I have never felt like I do now about a man. If I wanted to date another man, I wouldn't have taken this step in our relationship".

Ashley, When you first started dating your girlfriend, did you ever see you two getting this far?
"Well we have only been dating for about a month now! But no, I never thought it would go as far as us dating one another. After all, we are 'Ashley and Regan - the odd best friends'! But I have never felt so sure about something in my life, and I don't think I ever will again (Ashley kisses Regan on the forehead ).

Ashley & Regan, Do you two ever see having kids together?
Ashley : We are both still quite young, but perhaps we will have children in the future.
Regan : Yeah, I mean I have never wanted children because I never found the right person, the one I could actually see a happy life with kids and all that. But Ash' has lit a whole new spark in me, probably not for another few years though!!

As well as the questions, Ashley and Regan skimmed over some details of their first time in the park together. Regan recalls 'I'm not one for a day at the park but Ash' wanted to go. I actually had fun'. Ashley laughs out loud 'Thats only because you kept chucking water balloons in my face!'.

Regan: I can't believe the makeover I had for this shot! Posing and all that isn't like me at all, but I enjoyed being dressed up!
Ashley : You looked stunning! The pair share a passionate kiss and then begin joking around with one another .

Ofcourse I'm not gonna let this pregnancy, this 'little bundle of joy', hold me back, But I know I gotta slow down soon. Oh and don't get me wrong.. I don't resent the kid, its just got bad timing.

After recieving my diploma in business, I moved into my grandparents old house with my beautiful girlfriend Adrienne (Or Addy). Its amazing... right on the beach. I often find myself sitting in the sand, wiggling my toes and just thinking...Ya know, Like ,REALLY, thinking. All the hustle and bustle of a career can really take it out of ya sometimes, so its nice to just relax. People often criticize my love for the 'less-than-finer' arts - tattoos, but hey, using your skin as a canvas can be the purest, most honest form of artwork.

This really sucks but I think I may have to drop out of this competition because I am going away to France for 10 days and won't be able to make 2 of the round deadlines.

Very annoying :cry: But it's a great competition and I wish everyone good luck!

Hello I'm Kar, strange name yes I know. Im 52, which is a lot older than Dani, but we have never let that stand in our way. I was born and raised Pleasantview, however I moved to Cat Island so I could live right on the beach. After moving to the island I got a job at The Cat Rack, that's how I came to meet Dani. We hit it right off, even with our ages so different we have so much that we love to do together.

HI! How's it going? Name's Dani, I just turned 25 and I was born and raised her on Cat Island. If you were wondering about the ears, yes I am half cat half human. I work at The Cat Rack with Kar. I swear the first time I saw him I fell in love! He has these beautiful blue eyes, and a great since of humor. Oh I'm just like my mother, I love humans!

[Deatherella]

Hey, Pux, what time are our entries due tomorrow? I just got home around an hour ago from bringing my son to his band concert contest thingamajiggy and I'm not sure how much time I have to get my game going or get stuff uploaded for this. I checked the rules threads, etc, and can't find a time deadline, just dates. I don't even remember what time zone you're in.

[L Lawliet_SC]

I'm wondering where Pux has been the last post was 4 days ago and the first page hasn't even been updated, I mean I put my round 1 up 2 days ago, and last time I checked the round ends today but there's no time or anything.

[Cheese]

Don't worry guys, I'm sure PuX is just a little busy. PuX lives in California so his time zone would be PST (Pacific Standard Time).

[beatnikbunny]

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/kalipuppy/sim/contests/puxr1free.jpg
Kar: Oh yes this is where we had our first date. I thought it would be nice to just go out and enjoy being outside. We walk here about once a week now, I like to just relax in the sun, and do little bird watching. Dani loves to try to catch butterflies. I think it's important to believable to enjoy the little things and Dani is just the person to do it with.

Dani: We had our first kiss on that date too. It was right here on this very bench! I remember we had been just talking for like two hours, then I just jumped on his lap and gave him the biggest kiss! It was right then I knew I was hooked and would never want to be without Kar.

Kar: Every time she kisses me like that I feel like Im her age!

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/kalipuppy/sim/contests/puxr1d1.jpg

-Ma'am, if you had the chance, would you date any other man? Explain your reasoning.

Dani: Nope! Never. I know several guys who would love to be with me, but I all I want is my Kar. I get asked why I'm with Kar, I think 'cause of the age difference. I just tell them that he understands, me and would never judge me for anything I tell him. Kar loves me even with all my little oddities like when my socks don't match, or my shoes don't either. Kar really is my soul mate.

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/kalipuppy/sim/contests/puxr1d2.jpg

Dani: We had been at the park for a while when it started to rain! The two of us were just so happy to be together we didn't let it rain on our parade! That was a horrible pun...

Kar: It's ok, bad puns are funny too. I felt bad that it was raining mostly because I had been the one to suggest it. I snuck over to the rose bushes near the bathrooms and cut a rose for her to try and make it better.

Dani: Oh Kar the rain never bothered me.

-Sir, When you first started dating your girlfriend, did you ever see you two getting this far? Explain.

Kar: Honestly no. Over time I had gotten use to having short meaningless relationships, back then I just didn't want to be alone. I have been thrilled to be with Dani, its wonderful to be in love after so many years.

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y18/kalipuppy/sim/contests/puxr1d3.jpg

Dani: Luckily for us tho it soon stopped raining, the clouds cleared away and the stars shone brightly that night. I love to star gaze and having someone to watch for falling stars is just perfect for me.

-Both, Do you two ever see having kids together? Explain.

Kar: Well I think I am a little to old for that truthfully. I do think that after we move out of our apartment and get a beach house that we will defiantly get a couple of cats.

Dani: I agree, not with you being too old but with getting cats. I'm not to big of a kid person, but I am a huge cat person... probably because I am half cat.[/CENTER]

Thank you for getting my back :D

emodawg, The free shot is a -free shot-. Whatever you choose.

Deatherella, Sorry for completely forgetting to state my time zone.
6pm PST, Pacific Standard.

[emodawg]

Chris: For our first date I decided that hanging out in the park would be fun and prove to Allie that I could show a girl a good time without flashing the cash like she had kept teasing me about when we were in the 'just friends' phase of our relationship.

Allie: And what an eventful first date it was...

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j96/emodawg/1stsmall.jpg

Bigger (http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j96/emodawg/funfaaair.jpg)

Chris: Meadowlark park an is absolutely huge park where we live, filled with little hidden nooks with pretty interesting stuff you can't always find. On a long lunch trip I discovered this decaying merry-go-round nestled amongst the trees and knew it was something Allie would absolutely love.

Allie: I'm so glad I wore comfortable shoe that day because it was a hell of walk but totally worth it to find such an awesome little fairground. It was even better when with a little bit of fiddling Chris actually got it working! (Without killing himself...)

Chris: Hey I know enough about stuff like that not to kill myself, I work with cars remember?

Allie: Some old enough they run on coal... Anyway, it only lasted for a little bit and the music was a bit messed up but it was magical riding something that looked like it had been forgotten for decades.

***

Allie: Naturally on a first date, you want to look your best and after seeing some of the other *cough*sluts*cough* Chris had been out with before me, I felt I had stiff competition so decided to torture myself for almost 20 minutes trying to put in contacts. I only actually got in one, knowing I could take no more pain and didn't want to turn up with bloodshot eyes anyway but felt 70% confident that I'd be fine with just one. During us walking back from the carousel to get something to eat, I lost it (how it stayed in when I was spinning but fell out when I was walking at moderate pace is beyond me...). Instead of mentioning and gettng out of my glasses, I panicked and reasoned with my arm tucked into Chris' I'd be fine.

Chris: But she wasn't...

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j96/emodawg/3rdsmall.jpg
Bigger (http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j96/emodawg/betterfalling.jpg)

Allie: I still say I slipped because the ground was uneven and slippy by the edge of that stream.

Chris: She basically walked straight off the edge. I would have caught her if I thought she was slipping, but because she was walking to the water so casually, I really didn't know how to react...

Allie:I so slipped...

Chris: Whatever you say sweetheart *smiles sweetly*. After the both of us panicking for about half a minute, I managed to get her out, though she seemed so intent on pulling me in with her...

Allie: I was a complete mess! My clothes were grimy and gross and despite it being a boiling day, after that I was freezing! I was really scared we'd have to end our date early because of my unusually stupid vanity. Thankfully a girl who had been sunbathing kindly lent me her towel to cover myself up in and try and warm up with and Chris came up with an ingenious idea.

Chris: It so was! It would be easier for Allie to dry off if she wasn't in all her wet clothes so stripping down to her undies was a very clever idea. I did too so, you know, she didn't feel so self conscious.

Allie: More like you can't resist any opportunity to take your clothes off...

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j96/emodawg/2ndsmal.jpg
Bigger (http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j96/emodawg/nakedtimes2.jpg)

Chris: Shush you! So we spent the rest of our first date lying on the grass on our donated beach towel drying off, listening to Allie's ipod on her oversized headphones that were so loud probably half the park could hear what we were listening to.

Allie: After being initially feeling mortifying embarrassment because of falling and now everyone getting to see my bra, I could see the funny side of it and it was nice to just lie close together and talk.

Chris: You never gave that girl back that beach towel did you?

Allie: *Shakes head* I like having mementos

Chris: *cough*THIEF*cough*

Allie: ...Shut up

Interview

Ma'am, if you had the chance, would you date any other man?
Wow its weird being called Ma'am *giggles*. Well if I could swap Chris for Orlando Bloom then hell yeah I could! *laughs* No seriously that's an impossibly difficult question to ask especially for someone like me who looooves to plan. We're only 20 and we've only been together for 6 months so things might change in the future that might make me think me and Chris aren't 'forever'. For the moment though, we're having a lot of fun and I think despite out differences, we're quite good together so for now I don't see me dating anyone else, well unless Orlando Bloom was really interested than maybe...

Keep dreaming darling...

Shut up you!

Sir, When you first started dating your girlfriend, did you ever see you two getting this far? Explain.
I'm actually quite use to being referred to as sir in my line of work...

Just answer the question moron!

Always undermining me... If I'm being really honest, I didn't really see me and Allie getting this far, she'd probably agree too. Sure we were good enough friends but I kinda felt all the differences we had would mean we didn't really have any long term future. Our first date kinda arose out of us messing about: Allie saying I couldn't keep a girl entertained long enough without wowing her with money and when I proved her wrong we just kinda went from there. Plus before Allie I wasn't one for long term relationships so yeah this is shocking to a lot of people that Allie has bee able to put up with me so long * laughs*

Both, Do you two ever see having kids together? Explain.

Allie I don't think Chris should kids with anyone until they discover whether him being such a moron is genetic or from being dropped on his head too many times when he was a kid.

Chris Surely you're the bigger moron for going out with me knowing that I'm not clever? Or desperate... Like Allie said earlier, we're both pretty young and we haven't been together a very long time so it would be hard to determine that. But I'm not one for planning, if it happens it does and Allie is the sort of fussy and particular person who would make fatherhood very easy*Laughs*

Allie I am one for planning and if me and Chris are still together when I'm 24 then we are definitely having a kid to keep me on my life's detailed schedule. Despite Chris suffering from being brain dead I'm sure he'd make an amazing father.

Freeshot

Chris For our 6th month anniversary, I thought it would be nice to spend it where we had our first date. After much searching, I found another hidden treasure. A half destroyed little Chinese style gazebo. I know Allie would love it so I managed to get my hands on authentic Chinese tea set, hired a violinist to play some of Allie's favourite songs, lit like 3000+ candles (while the violinist watched and didn't even offer to help!) and got some Chinese food so we could have a nice lunch together.

http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j96/emodawg/4thsmall.jpg
Bigger (http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j96/emodawg/tereeeatimes.jpg)

Allie It was so romantic! Very original too. It as raining that day but enough of the roof was still intact for us not to get soaked. Though I enjoyed the violinist, the candles, the food, the present, the scenic the surroundings and especially the company, what I loved most was that Chris stifled his complaining on how much he didn't like Chinese tea just for me!

[PuX- 80's]

RI is now closed!
Those that didn't submit a RI, are cut.
Looking at the amount without a RI, no cuts will be made.

Ouch. Finally got done doing stuff in real life to come online and upload, but I'm too late so I'm wishing everyone else the best of luck.

Pux, actually, today a storm knocked our power out in the middle of the afternoon today and I couldn't have gotten online before your 6 p, deadline if I wanted to, so I'm wondering if I could still be included? I uploaded my pics to photobucket before coming here so I'm ready to get an entry in if you will permit me.

[L Lawliet_SC]

@Pux-Sorry, anyway this is a great contest and I'm glad things are okay I was just worring over nothing. And I didn't know what time zone you were in, I wasn't trying to be snarky.

Thank you ever so much, here goes:
(For starters, judges, they are in Woodland Park. Here are links to show you the original one next to the apocalytic one: Woodland Gone Wrong (http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii217/deb666/Sims%202%20Hearts%20Consume%20Stars%20Contest/PARK1.jpg) , Woodland Original Compared (http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii217/deb666/Sims%202%20Hearts%20Consume%20Stars%20Contest/PARK2.jpg) )

Our First Date

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii217/deb666/Sims%202%20Hearts%20Consume%20Stars%20Contest/HS-R1-1.jpg

On our first date, we went to the city park. First thing that happens as we're walking along the boulevard, JJ sees a payphone and promptly starts making prank calls.
"Do you have Prince Albert in a can?"
"Is your refridgerator running?"
"Is Jack Hoff there?"
I couldn't believe he'd do something so silly. I"m sure people were looking at him funny and wondering what I was doing with him. Well . . . why would I date any other man? He's sooooooo cute, ain't he? Not to mention, he's really brave -- he's got a zombie for his girlfriend after all; resourceful -- he keeps me fed; and besides being really bossy, he's very considerate of my needs and wants. And right now, I think I want something to eat -- just like on our first date.

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii217/deb666/Sims%202%20Hearts%20Consume%20Stars%20Contest/HS-R1-2.jpg

Well, my little ice breaker at the payphone went over like a lead balloon. I thought I'd get Deborah giggling -- giggling zombies are so hot -- but she just got exasperated with me. What's a man to do? Feed the wench, that's what. We ambled about the park enjoying the view for a bit until we came to the cook out area. I pulled some sausage out of my pocket and grilled them up. Unfortunately, the park was full of others who hadn't ate since who knows when and they all swarmed around us and grabbed our luncheon. So much for impressing my chick with my grilling skills. They didn't even leave us anything to eat.

That's okay, Pookie. I ate them instead.

http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii217/deb666/Sims%202%20Hearts%20Consume%20Stars%20Contest/HS-R1-3.jpg

After that, we had the park to ourselves so we strolled along enjoying each other's company. We sat down and tried to play a little chess for awhile but Deborah kept getting confused so it was back to strolling.
While we were walking along, I thought about our relationship. Hard to believe we've come this far with one another. I never thought a guy could last this long with a living dead girl but she must really care about me or I'd have been lunch a long time ago. Ever since the first time I saw her wandering along a lonely highway and gave her a lift, I knew deep down inside me that she was my hope for the future.
Speaking of the future, we came to the playground at the park, and here we are pretending the jungle bars are a wedding arch and practicing up on our "You may kiss the bride" smooch. That was, undoubtedly, my favorite part of our first date.

Oh, Pookie, you're so sweet I could eat you.

So, here we are back at the park reliving our fond memories and thinking about the future, once again . . .

Dancing & Prancing
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii217/deb666/Sims%202%20Hearts%20Consume%20Stars%20Contest/HS-R1-4.jpg

I see us together far into the future -- for the rest of our lives, in fact. Someday, we'll find a place to hole up that has a roof. A big yard for a garden and plenty of room for romping children. Yep, I see us having kids. A boy for me, a girl for Deb. It'll be great.

Um, Pookie, I'm a zombie girl and no buns will bake in my oven. So, you have to do it.

Oh, no! Not the "probe"! There must be some other way.

Oh, well, then, we will just have to steal them out of carts at the grocery store.

[KyleTheArtist]

I sent my scores in guys!

This was fun to judge :P

[happyasabunny]

No!!! I forgot all about this contest im so sorry.

[L Lawliet_SC]

I can't wait for the results, so far I'm having a good time in this contest. Good luck everyone!

[PuX- 80's]

I will calculate everyones scores and post A.S.A.P.
Deatherella, I will post your scores (along with everyone elses), but they will be missing one judge for the time being.

[Deatherella]

Ok, works for me. I'm just grateful you let me get mine in after all. Thanks ever so much, once again.

[PuX- 80's]

Ok, the judge that was missing Deatherella's score, submitted with really great timing!
Now, L Lawliet, you will only have two scores added together. The third will be posted soon.

[L Lawliet_SC]

Alright I did have a question, the engagment was a freeshot and had nothing to do with the first date so why did I have -3 points taken off? I know they couldn't be engaged during the date but the freeshot was how they are now. A freeshot is a freeshot...*sigh* I'm confused..honestly..so if they can't be engaged then it's not really a freeshot then is it?

-One picture will be a freeshot of the couple at the park (not part of the first date).

-And at one point it was stated that the freeshot is a freeshot, ehatever you choose. So that's why I went with it, if it wasn't okay I should have been notified about it or something. I went with that statement.

Thank you for getting my back :D

Lawliet, I wan't on since two days ago (PST). The front page has was edited on the 10th.

emodawg, The free shot is a -free shot-. Whatever you choose.

-One picture will be a freeshot of the couple at the park (not part of the first date).

It says at the start the couple can't be engaged :S

[L Lawliet_SC]

During the first date. Yes but it also says that the interviewer caught them at the spot that they HAD thier first date, not during the first date. It says to me that this would be sometime in the future and not during the first date itself. It also asks about having children and such those questions sound to me like it would take place in the future and sometime long after the first date.

[PuX- 80's]

Rules:
-Couples may be any species.
-Couples must be Young Adult to Adult (19-52)
-Couples may be homosexual (One sim must be the 'man' while the other 'female').
-Photoshop/ Editing is allowed, not judged.
-Four sentences per picture are required.
-Couple may not be married or engaged.
Being engaged happens in the end.
Hearts Consume the Stars is a time that love between two people are at the highest peak, which becoming engaged is the moment that is memorialized.

[LouBarratt88_SC]

okay fine..but still I could have edited it, bah it's only three points. My argument though is that it's a free shot..but whatever.

I sorta see where you are coming from, but it did state no engagement or marriage :( . Don't get so hett up about it! Like you said, 3 points is nothing, specially if you whizz at later rounds :)

[ktbcca]

Were there any comments by the judges? I'd like to know where I lost points :)

[PuX- 80's]

Round One - Just a Walk in the Park

Our reporters found you two walking through a local park- the same park you shared your first date -and asked for a quick interview
Freeshot, but the contest is about becoming engaged all fancy-like in the end, not on their own.

ktbcca, Yes. I will be working on that now.

[L Lawliet_SC]

Sorry I got confused with the freeshot thing I was under the impression that they could be engaged in it, ah well. Looking forward to the next rounds and sorry for the confusion T.T. Do we know how many are to be eliminated next round too?

[PuX- 80's]

Round II - Dinner Date
How wonderful to actully have a casual dinner out on the town, where ever that may be.
Sharing a loving touch or sharing the latest dirt on your boss's love life all over a greasy 'burger and some burnt potato fries.

Story must be of the couple recalling the Dinner Date: how it came to be, what happened after, any developing/changed feelings?

Required:
-3 pictures of the date (pictures must show the couple at an eatting place, picnic is allowed)
-1 Freeshot
-4+ sentences per picture.

[L Lawliet_SC]

lol -His accent is a bit irritating, that made me laugh. It's hard to type too. lol don't worry I wasn't upset it is irritating honestly, I have to sounds it out in my head and stuff.

[KyleTheArtist]

I am sorry L Lawliet D:

[ktbcca]

PuX- 80's- Does the freeshot have to be of the couple at a restaurant also? Or can it be anywhere we chose?

[beatnikbunny]

Thank you for the comments judges :) Oh and Kar is not an elder (52 was the oldest Pux put for an age) he is indeed an adult, he just has custom gray hair... I like gray hair.

[KyleTheArtist]

Ah, xD my bad lol

[ktbcca]

EDIT- I'm sorry, I'm not going to have the time to do this. I have no idea when the round ends exactly, but I won't be able to finish my entry today or even tomorrow. Thanks for the great contest, sorry for bailing. :(

Hugh: I decided to surprise Rosie by taking her out on a surprise date to her favourite restaurant for our two and a half year anniversary. Of course, that idea isn’t exactly normal, but she didn’t mind.
Rose: I have to say, this was completely out of character for Hugh, but it was a sweet gesture all the same. He luckily decided on an early dinner, because I had to be at the school early the next day, so I needed my rest.
Hugh: Yep, I took everything into consideration just for you, babe.

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g198/Bloochi22/Date-1.jpg
Rose: When we first got in we were seated by a window which was nice, as the owner of the restaurant has a fantastic green thumb, and there was plenty of gorgeous greenery to look out upon.
Hugh: There may have been plenty of nice scenery, but I couldn’t take my eyes off of you all night, gorgeous.
Rose: Aww, you’re so sweet. I love you.
Hugh: I love you too, babe.
Rose: Anyway, Hugh gave me yet another surprise by ordering a very expensive bottle of champagne. Once we got it, he made a very romantic toast to our relationship, and from then on the date was on a roll.

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g198/Bloochi22/Date-2.jpg
Rose: While we were making small talk, Hugh, in a very romantic gesture, blew me a kiss and told me I looked beautiful.
Hugh: Well you always look beautiful, and that was no exception!
Rose: Still. I had just come from the school, and I hadn’t even had time to change. I remember blushing furiously after that comment.
Hugh: Just look at your face in the picture! You look very embarrassed even there.

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g198/Bloochi22/Freeshot.jpg
Hugh: Once we were finished with our meals, I took Rosie outside. The back of the restaurant has a little garden, so we went for a little walk while the sun was still up.
Rose: It was absolutely beautiful there. We walked for a while, but I had to stop because my feet were killing me in my absurdly high heels. We stopped just next to a pretty little fountain, but the real feature of that spot was a dramatic willow tree which hung over us.
Hugh: I thought it was a really romantic spot, so I pulled Rosie close to me and kissed her. When the kiss had ended, we just stood there holding each other for a while.
Rose: It was very romantic, and it was the perfect location.
Hugh: Mm, I thought so too.

Rose: That night was absolutely wonderful. If it was even possible, I think I fell even further in love with Hugh after that. I knew he had a sweet side, but I never imagined it to be that sweet!
Hugh: *laughs* Hey! I can be sweet!
Rose: Oh, I know. When we went home we spent the rest of the night together in a rather…private way *blushes*. It was the perfect ending to the perfect evening.

Wining
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii217/deb666/Sims%202%20Hearts%20Consume%20Stars%20Contest/HS-R2-1.jpg

People may wonder how a guy and his gal can find somewhere to go and have nice meal and nice night out together in a world gone wrong. Well . . . not so hard when you have a few bucks to throw around. Let me tell you about a great time I showed to my girl. Once upon a time, Deborah had told me that back in the day, she loved to go out for dinner and a show. And that she loved Tea Dancing. Now, those things pretty much just aren't happening too often, if at all, anymore. So, I got out my wallet and set up all the good stuff necessary for a good time for my chick at The Crypt. I think I covered all three of her favorite things there, along with some of our favorite forms of nourishment.
I had a keg chilled and ready for us to slate our thirsts. Nothing like a little alcohol to whet your appetite while your girlfriend's favorite band --KISS-- is playing in the background.

Dining
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii217/deb666/Sims%202%20Hearts%20Consume%20Stars%20Contest/HS-R2-2.jpg

JJ is so sweet to me. I had pink hearts flying out of my head just from drinking beer with him. After our little impromptu chugging contest, we sat down to a find spread that my Pookie got together before he surprised me with a night of Tea Dancing. Who cares if it wasn't the proper afternoon time? Not me.
JJ's so thoughtful. He had brains -- nice warm squooshy, ooey, wet brains -- fresh in the skull for me. Oh, nummy. Apples and fish, too, but Pookie ate most of that. And, lots and lots of booze since you gotta have something to wash down all those tasty brains with. Or were you trying to get me drunk so you could take advantage of me?

Dancing
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii217/deb666/Sims%202%20Hearts%20Consume%20Stars%20Contest/HS-R2-3.jpg

I knew you'd had a bad day doing shoots so I just thought I'd get you all happy any way a man can find these days. Worked, too. After we got done with our chow, you dragged yourself over to the stage and after a few minutes of swaying, there you were dancing away with me. You didn't even limp.

That's because I had the music in me and stars in my eyes everytime I looked at you.

Same here, doll baby.

I am the God of Fire (where once I was the god of thunder and rock n roll)
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii217/deb666/Sims%202%20Hearts%20Consume%20Stars%20Contest/HS-R2-4.jpg

If all that wasn't fun enough and ever so sweet of my Pookie bear, after a couple hours of rocking out, JJ got a big bonfire going and I got to party with my favorite band after our dinner time.

I was so happy to see you happy, baby, that I just had to start dancing a jib. Couldn't help myself.

Me, too! It was so fun to just let loose that night. And my favorite band danced around the fire with us getting all warm and toasty and . . . oh, thank you so much for that special dessert.

Anytime, sweetheart. I think I completely lost my heart to you when I saw that big smile on your face after you "loved" the band.

I might have loved them to death, but after that night, I loved you with my heart, soul, everything for the rest of my un-life.

[ktbcca]

Yes it would be great to know what time they are due in advance. :) also, PuX- did you get my PM?

[LouBarratt88_SC]

How long until the round ends? Its currently 4pm in England - do we have a few hours until it closes?

[PuX- 80's]

Lou, There is 9 hours untill RII ends.
ktbcca, Yes, I'm now going to fix it :P

[LouBarratt88_SC]

As round two commences, we join contestants Ashley and Regan in a cosy interview for their first dinner date.

Ashley; 'I took Regan to her local pub. Its such a nice, old English bar. I think it was built sometime in the early 1900's'.
Regan; 'When Ash said he was taking me out, I was shocked when we arrived at this place. My father had bought my mother here on their first ever date'. (Regan looks to the floor as tears begin to fill her eyes). 'Sorry'.
Ashley; 'This is why I wanted to bring you here, this place must hold the happiest memories for you'. It seems there is more to Regan's story about her parents, but the couple decide not to talk about it for now.

Regan; 'It was nice to be able to chill out at the bar before having dinner. It was also nice catching up with Matilda and Andrew, my parents old friends'.
Ashley; 'Yeah, I gotta admit although nightclubs are more my scene, I really like the tradition and friendliness of this place'.

After a couple of drinks at the bar, Ashley and Regan are seated in the dining area.

Ashley; 'Shall we get a bottle of wine?'
Regan; 'That would be very nice indeed'.
Over the next couple of hours, the two of them spend their time laughing at one anothers jokes and feeding each other food from there plates.

Regan; 'Well it was going well'.
Ashley; 'I hate people like that! Obviously they have no fun side to them!'.
Ashley is referring to another customer who shouted at the pair for laughing too loudly. Fortunately Regan and Ashley were just getting up to leave the dining area before any serious words were said.

Ashley; 'Lets have a game of darts babe'.
Regan; 'Ok, but you know I will win!'.
Ashley; 'Oi cheeky!'.

As closing time approaches, Regan and Ashley have a few games of darts, and as predicted Regan wins every single one!

Regan; 'Hehe, I win!'.
Ashley; 'Come here you!'.

Last orders at the bar are called, and Ashley and Regan say goodbye to the interviewer before they share a passionate kiss and head home.

[PuX- 80's]

Only three contestants so far?
It's only the second round too.

[LouBarratt88_SC]

Only three contestants so far?
It's only the second round too.

I hope this contest doesn't have to close because of lack of interest :(, One I was in a couple of weeks ago closed too.

[L Lawliet_SC]

http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/Aedrin_2009SIMS/AidenTreydinner.jpg

Aiden- 'ello again!

Trey- *grin* Okay well as you can see our first date started out well. Aiden and I were both in Europe at the time, and he had spent the night at the hotel with me. The next day I had to do a model shoot, and asked him to come along, I had a suprise for him.

Aiden- Aye, 'e took me to this leetle restaurant in Paris it was called L'Etoile, eet was so romantic, it was the first time I had ever been in someplace so nice.

Trey- *kisses Aiden's nose* So anyway before dinner we decided to do a bit of dancing, i just loved holding him in my arms.

Aiden- Aye eet felt nice..to be loved by someone so much.

http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/Aedrin_2009SIMS/AidenTrteydinner2.jpg

Trey- They finally called our names, so we sat down to eat. We both had fliet migion, nothing like true french food cooked the french way.

Aiden- eet was so good! I loved every bite of eet and Trey was so romantic, he gave me everything I wanted that night, I've never felt so alive.

http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/Aedrin_2009SIMS/AidenTreydinner3.jpg

Trey- After dinner we got a few drinks at the bar. And of course I called a cab, I don't mix drinking and driving.

Aiden- *Beams* Och! While we were waiting for the cab outside the restaurant 'e jus grabbed me he did! And kissed me full force! And of course again I went home with him.

Trey- *Grins, kisses his cheek* Can't help myself love, you're just so cute!

Freeshot

http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/Aedrin_2009SIMS/AidenTreydinner4.jpg

Trey- *Cuddles him* ahh cuddling under the stars in Paris, this was right in front of the restaurant before we had dinner. It was a rather late dinner I didn't get off the set until 7pm.

Aiden- The stars are gorgeous, especially in Paris when you can actually see them. It truly is the city of lights.

Trey- all in all nothing has changed between us, if anything has it's the fact that things have definantly heated up and had become alot more serious.

Aiden- For sure, and somehow I always end up spending the night with him *Grin*

[Deatherella]

ok, it's hitting six where I live, I'm taking off to go out the door to bring my sister back. It'll take me around two hours. I came online about noon to finish writing my round, but mts2 was in maintainence mode at the time. So, maybe I can get myself a speeding ticket and get on here before 8 my time -- hopefully I calculated our time zones right. Catch ya later.

Even if all the contenders don't submit, Pux, the contest should still be a go since you had ten to begin with.

[PuX- 80's]

I think we are only missing three out of seven.

Deatherella, We only need 10 in the begining to continue, but it's always more fun with more contestants.

[PuX- 80's]

*Double Post*

Round Two is now Over!
Judges will be reciving their cards in a short moment.
To the absent amount of contestants this round, there will be no eliminations.

[Deatherella]

oh, boy, my score is gonna blow. There were freaking detours on the way to Wyoming and my trip took me around an hour longer than normal.
well, I hope the judges can tell how my couple's dinner date went. They're "tea dancing" post apocalyptic style, can you tell?

[PuX- 80's]

Deatherella, You can edit your post during judging.

[Deatherella]

Deatherella, You can edit your post during judging.

I hope judging is still going.
Just came online to find something for my building contest. Guess I'll be editing my round instead.

Thanks.

Okay, Judges, I got it written out.

[emodawg]

Looks like I already missed the deadline for his anyway but my sims has really messed up this time. All my sims skins are completely black from the neck down and my computer keeps crashing before I can work out what I need to get rid of to fix it...

Good luck to the rest of you, this has been fun :) x

[Deatherella]

Good luck to the rest of you, this has been fun :) x

emodawg, I'm not sure how long your pc lasts before crashing, but have you tried moving your whole downloads folder onto the deskdtop and replacing it with a new empty file called "downloads"? I don't know what generics type thing would be doing that to your game, but in my game when it kept crashing, I slowly weeded stuff back in until something made my game crash again and then I knew where to start looking for the culprit. Maybe you could split up your cc into folders of say 25 things a piece and add them one at at time until you get game problems again. Maybe if you just took out all your body shop type items and check you'd know what to narrow it down to.
Probably not the right thread to give you hints but I thought I'd try to give some help so you could get your game and pc running again so that you could get back into the fun of things.

[PuX- 80's]

I'm sorry for your computer trouble, emodawg. I hope you can fix it!

Deatherella, How I hate that advise :lol:
Judges haven't sent their scores in as of late so I think you are fine. ;)

[KyleTheArtist]

I was gonna send mine in yesterday but forums were down. I will send mine in after school tonight :D

[Deatherella]

When will Round 3 be going up and we get new dates for it now, since the downtime took up half the days you scheduled for it, don't we?

[PuX- 80's]

-They are so cute together.

[L Lawliet_SC]

Well since mine are two males, I need to ask this are hacks allowed to make one of them pregnant?

[PuX- 80's]

They are Sims, so yes.

[L Lawliet_SC]

Alright just wanted to check and make sure before I did it, thanks :).

[KeiraLou]

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to drop out of this. Its my 21st birthday tomorrow and I will defiently not be around to complete the next round in time. Good luck to the remaining ones.

[L Lawliet_SC]

Not sure about this but i know it was posted here but does the inside of the house need to be seen or just the outside? i took two pictures outside of the home for mine, but before i posted them i wanted to know if I need to go back in and take an interior shot.

[PuX- 80's]

L Law, I'm wanting at least one of an interior room.
Lou, I'm so sorry to see you go, but it's for a good cause ;) :D

[Deatherella]

What kind of details are you looking for in the story?

[PuX- 80's]

Deatherella, The whole contest is supposed to be like a storybook, express their life at home and include how the pictured people are important in their lives, but still mix it in to the story.

[Deatherella]

Okay, gotcha. Figured it was that, but wanted to make sure there wasn't anything specific like a favorite room, house description, you know, stuff like that.

Did I just count right -- are we really down to only four contestants from all the drop-outs?

[L Lawliet_SC]

http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/Aedrin_2009SIMS/Aidenhouse.jpg

Aiden- 'ello again everyone!

Trey- Greetings! Well we didn't think we'd make it this far but here we are *grin*

Aiden- Aye! This is our home, we 'ad it custom built, though eet is a tad on da wee side now that we have more family in eet!

Trey- Yep...We just had two small additions to our family!

http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/Aedrin_2009SIMS/Aidenbabies.jpg

Aiden- 'ere is our 'appy family outside, eet was raining so we needed to get this done quickly.

Trey- Twins a boy and a girl. Aiden is holding Raphael the boy and I'm holding Sirea the girl.

Aiden- I luv bein a mommy! *giggles*

Trey- *Kises his nose* Well you're good at it darlin!

Aiden- *blushes*

http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/Aedrin_2009SIMS/Aidentreyhome.jpg

Trey- This is every room in our house, we also have a pool out back but couldn't get it into the photo. We couldn't decided on just one room since we love the house so much and wanted to show you or taste.

Aiden- Aye we did nae just want to show ye just one room, I love our 'ouse! We do need to do a serious makeover now with the wee ones.

http://i573.photobucket.com/albums/ss172/Aedrin_2009SIMS/AidenTreylovin.jpg

Aiden- *BLUSHES* Trey!

Trey- *Laughs* When the kids are asleep the parents will play! *shifty eyes* Still it's a shot of us and we are family!

Aiden- OCH! we got twin boxers!

Trey- *Laughs* Well look at that we've got great taste! Well that's it everyone hope you've enjoyed...*Winks and turns off the light, the room goes dark and giggling is heard*

[PuX- 80's]

Deatherella, I think we only have 3 now: PixiCii, L Law., and Yourself.
L Law, PST and Central are exactly an hour apart..just which is ahead I can't remember. Set your options (on here) to Pacific Standard time and you should get mine.

[lethifold]

Okay, I'm really hoping that I'm not going to be late when I post my entry later today (my time), but I've just been struggling to get it done on top of assignments, tutoring, homework, being sick and having family visit here. Just letting you know that I will be getting my entry in for this round!

[PuX- 80's]

PixCii, RII isn't due for 24 hours after I post this.

[Deatherella]

I was not sure what type of pics of the house you wanted, so I have two lot shots for my entry. If you would like to see pics of the lot and house in all it's beauty, I have a bunch of single rooms, floors, etc, in this album: Faded Glory (http://s265.photobucket.com/albums/ii217/deb666/Sims%202%20Hearts%20Consume%20Stars%20Contest/Faded%20Glory/) . All this madness is based on my actual home, about 3/4 the actual size since I used the lot my couple live on presently.

Home Sweet Home
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii217/deb666/Sims%202%20Hearts%20Consume%20Stars%20Contest/HS-R3-1.jpg

It's been quite some time since Deb has been any where near the home she lived in before the zombie attack. Since she's always wondered what became of her family -- there was no trace of them on that fateful day -- I thought it was about time we went back in them thar hills and took a look.

Here we are at my old house. Hmmmmm. It don't looks so good anymore, does it? It used to be -- it is? -- an old schoolhouse. I hear something. Pookie, do you hear something? Maybe someone came home. Let's go see . . .

Snips, Snaps & Puppy Dog Tails
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii217/deb666/Sims%202%20Hearts%20Consume%20Stars%20Contest/HS-R3-2.jpg

I just had to take this pic of my baby doll. Does she not look happy? You'd never guess who we found crawling around this ol' place: little Hunt himself and Molly, the family dog. Hunt looks a little worse for wear, poor tyke, but I'm sure Deb will have him all loved up and full of brains in no time. Ahhhh, they look so sweet together, I can't wait to see her holding my babies.

In the meantime, I think I'll see what kind of family I can find . . .

Triple Crown
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii217/deb666/Sims%202%20Hearts%20Consume%20Stars%20Contest/HS-R3-4.jpg

Wow! Look at us. Can you tell which one is me? I knew you could. You remember I told you I pretty much had no real family of my own because I'm a clone stunt double of some fool from another contest? Well, these two guys, Jakjak and Jaydaw are as close to brothers as I can get. They're my fellow clones. I guess that makes us stunt triples or is it stunt quadruples?
Any-hoo, nothing like a nice toasty bbq'd dinner out back for a great family reunion. Sure was great seeing the boys again but it might be awhile before I invite them back -- hmmmmm, seems us clones are a little too much alike, had to pull them away from my woman more than once.

Faded Glory
http://i265.photobucket.com/albums/ii217/deb666/Sims%202%20Hearts%20Consume%20Stars%20Contest/HS-R3-3.jpg

Oh, look at my poor home. It used to be so big and nice. Not to mention, it had walls and a whole roof. I'm so happy we found little Hunt in the basement with Molly -- dogdog as he calls her. That gives me hope that the rest of my family might be out there somewhere. I hope so. I miss them so much. JJ's "brothers" were so nice. It was nice to meet them but for now, I just want it to be me and JJ . . . and Hunt . . . and Molly.

Rose: Hi, and welcome to our house! Hugh and I are currently renting this place, and we love having a house to call our own.
Hugh: Yeah, because there’s no restriction on the amount of noise we can make, if you catch my drift. Isn't that right, Rosie?
Rose: Hugh! Well, that might be one of the reasons, but there are plenty of others. The person who is renting this house to us says that as long as we pay the rent, we can do whatever we want with it, so we’ve been able to make it exactly to our tastes. Well, as exact as you can get on a teacher’s salary. Either way, we both adore living here, and it has a spare room for any visitors we may get.
Hugh: We only ever have one person stay the night though, and that’s my baby sister Cassie.

Cassie: I am not a baby!
Hugh: Whatever. You’re still four years younger than I am, so you’ll always be my baby sister.
Rose: I don’t have any siblings, and my parents both passed away a few years ago, so the only close family we have is Hugh’s younger sister, Cassie. She’s a sweetheart, but fell on some hard times so she’s been trying to get her life back on track.
Hugh: She comes and sees us once a week for dinner and the footy game on the weekend, and sometimes she’ll crash in the spare room. It’s always nice to be able to see her, seeing as we were really close as kids. When she got older she started hanging out with the wrong crowd, and it just went downhill from there. Hopefully she’s on the right track now, and everything will turn out okay.
Cassie: Way to tell my life story, Hugh. I’m sure they don’t care.

Rose: At the back of our house we have a little outdoor entertainment area, where we spend long summer nights relaxing and catching up with friends. It’s one of my favourite areas in the house, as it’s quiet and out of the way.
Hugh: I love using the barbeque, even if I’m not that good of a chef. It’s a pretty typical suburban scene, the man barbequing, the woman inside making a salad and whatever, but it’s nice.
Rose: *laughs* Yes, but normally you’re burning the food and I’m running around like a headless chicken trying to salvage our lunch. And on the rare occasion where you don’t burn the food, I make the salad earlier and spend the rest of the time on my car.
Hugh: Ow, that hurt my masculinity.
Rose: *laughs*

http://i56.photobucket.com/albums/g198/Bloochi22/Family-1.jpg

Cassie: I didn’t think that Rose and I would ever get along, seeing as no one is good enough for my brother, but we became really close really quickly.
Hugh: You sure did, but it’s a bit annoying when you two won’t be quiet and let me watch the game! What do you even talk about? There sure is a lot of giggling and shushing going on whenever I walk past.
Rose: That’s for us to know and for you, never, ever to find out.
Hugh: Hey! That’s not fair, you know! If it’s about me, then I have a right to know!
Rose: I doubt you’d want to know what she says. *laughs*

Just one question on the collage, can it be scrapbook style?

[KyleTheArtist]

Sent my Scores!

[Deatherella]

Pux, for the two pictures of where the wedding will take place, do you want just two nice pics of the location or two pics of it with our couples at this place? Wedding party as in a formal wedding party portrait like we hire photographers to take or the wedding party together at the wedding? And do you know anywhere I can look for a bloody bridal gown since the only link here goes to a page that's no longer there.

[PuX- 80's]

We need more judge scores.

L Law, Yes!

Deatherella,
For the two pictures of where the wedding will take place, do you want just two nice pics of the location or two pics of it with our couples at this place?
Just the venue, the place.
If there are any sims visable, I shall personally throw pebbles at your feetz!

Wedding party as in a formal wedding party portrait like we hire photographers to take or the wedding party together at the wedding?
The Wedding Party, I'm thinking of Brides Maids and Grooms Men in formal wear (No, Bride nor Groom).

And do you know anywhere I can look for a bloody bridal gown since the only link here goes to a page that's no longer there.
No, You could recolor a dress or search MTS for one.

[L Lawliet_SC]

Is anything going to be extended considering the site has been closed down twice? THere's no way I can get everything done in a day, I was waiting for a response to my question so I couldn't start on it until the site was back up and I got my answer.

[Deatherella]

Thanks for the answers, Pux.
I'm wondering about extensions, too, like L Law. Pretty please? I have to retake my pics -- since I guessed wrong. Which is harder than you'd think since I turned a community lot into a residence so I could have control over my sims for posing purposes and I already took out most of the cc that made those two lots work so I have to start all over with them cuz I think I deleted them when I"m done, I don't remember cuz . . . I'm sick. That's my biggest excuse for wanting more days to work on it. I keep[ falling asleep waiting for my game to load. and I can't type right tongiht either. I'm going back to my bed . . .

[PuX- 80's]

I will ask Beeps for two days of an extention.

Oh, kewl. Hope we get it. I'm working getting my pics done. Like a dummy I deleted everything that made a commercial lot into a working residential one, but for some reason I got it to work again with just that mailbox cc. Hmmm, wierd. I couldn't find the trash can anywhere so I loaded the lot with everyone in the catalog and left the commerical one on the lot, so maybe that's why my people showed up again.
So, soon, I think I might get that wedding to take place before the night is out.

And, judges, thanks for the nice scores and comments. Yep, it's a RE dog -- got if from here at mts2. And I was trying to keep the family in line with any and all other stories these Sims had been in in the past, so since my girl was playing RE5, went outside and got overtaken by other zombies, and then discovered her family was missing, I figured if she went back home there had to be some trace left of her family. I guess it's okay with me to have my seven kids missing but not the baby sized person in our real home. And he likes the dog so Molly had to be there, too. So, don't feel bad for Hunter -- he seems to be the only one still alive in post-apocalyptic Pleasantville.

Now that I rambled on forever -- cold pills, yayy -- I think I'll get back to my entry in game. Just came online to find some crowns that I lost on my pc somewhere. Being sick and foggy-headed is so much fun.

[PuX- 80's]

RIV has been extended to the 30th of May, thank Beeps.

[Deatherella]

I have my pics ready, but I'll do the writing after I get some sleep.

is it ok if my free shot comes right before my wedding kiss?

[PuX- 80's]

Yes, that is fine. I only care if it's not there.

[L Lawliet_SC]

THere is no way I can possibly get this done in one day...*sigh* Besides that a one day extension just doesn't do it considering the site has been down 3 times. I'm sorry I'm going to have to drop out of this one unfortunantly, between trying to find a job and running back and forth on a daily bases I just can't do this in one day.

[Deatherella]

Hey, Pux, as much as I like my sweet free shot, I'm wondering if I should change it since you can't see any of the background behind those two while they are standing under the wedding arch -- just the stormy sky. There is stuff behind them but you can't see it in either of the pics. I have some pics of my bride coming up the stairs to meet up with her man I could switch to for the free shot, if it's okay with you? Don't know if it's acceptable to switch pics until judging starts or if a pic laid is a pic played.

[lethifold]

I'm so sorry! I've been without internet for the past couple of days, and now I really need to focus on using the internet to get my assignments done. There isn't any way I could get my entry in on time and still pass some of my assessment items at school. I had so much fun in this contest, and I'm really, really sorry that I can't continue!

[PuX- 80's]

After both L Law and PixCii have dropped out (I'm sorry both of you have had to drop out)...
Deatherella, you are the winner!
I will ask Beeps if you are granted a star.

[Deatherella]

I won? Well, thank you, Pux. I did want to win, but now I guess we'll never know if I would've had the most points or not. And Round V . . . . oh, I wanted it.
Gosh. I just came online to write in my story before the time deadline, too. Would you like to hear the wacky story of their wedding day in a thunderstorm? At least lightning didn't strike and catch something on fire until after the ceremony. You ever have a grooms man that was more interested in jumping in puddles than standing beside the groom? Did your bride look like she was trudging the green mile instead of the stairway to heaven (or feel like Princess Di without the train as she climbed a zillion stairs to the altar?) The stuff all my Sims on the lot were doing before, during, and after the wedding was so funny. Even some passer-by on the sidewalk did a dress twirl and joined the party.
I'm so disappointed that the other two contestanats were unable to get an entry in.
And, Pux, I did have a star before the change-over on the site. Just can't remember off the top of my head how they said they were going to be handled anymore. I think we get little thingies of some sort added to our avatar spots or something. Maybe someone in the know over at headquarters can tell us how it's going to work from now on.

[KyleTheArtist]

Congrats Deathrella :D

[simsimsims]

Yea, well done deatherella :)

I have followed this contest throughout, and it has been very enoyable.

PuX- 80's - You are a great host :D and you ran a superb contest, which is more than I can say about mine which is a bit of a no show so far :P

Simsimsims

[L Lawliet_SC]

It was a fun contest time restraints are what killed me unfortunantly. I hope that there is another one I'd definantly join again. I could have had mine done if we got more of an extension the site was down for a bit when the switch was made, then it went down again and then the third time. Everytime I'd come on to look for stuff to finish with the site was down unfortunantly and that's what did it for me, i didn't drop because I wanted to :(.

[KyleTheArtist]

Since this one is over, I saw my contest being approved, maybe you guys can join that :D

[PuX- 80's]

Deatherella, I PM'd boolpropped and she said you -are- allowed a star!
Congrats!

Thank you, simsimsims!

[Deatherella]

Thank you, Pux.

And thanks to everyone else for their nice comments.
