			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>So here&#8217;s how it goes:</div>
<div>I&#8217;m a high school student full time. I&#8217;ve got tests, finals, all AP classes&#8230;it&#8217;s a difficult job. I started this blog during the summer when I had more time to work on it. I just don&#8217;t have the time anymore. Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m going to do: The Uncommon Ways is officially done. There&#8217;s nowhere for it to go, and it just wouldn&#8217;t be interesting. However, I am <em>definitely</em> starting a new blog at the end of this school year or at the very beginning of summer at the latest. I plan to keep it going all through the summer. I have a few choices to make as to which family I should share with you guys, though, so I&#8217;m going to let <em>you</em> pick. Here are the choices:</div>
<div>The Newson family.</div>
<div>You may notice that I&#8217;ve kind of remade them from the sims 2 family and used the same last name. I really enjoyed the idea and I&#8217;m letting creativity run away with me on this one. Here are the parents who are no longer around &#8211; Barbara and Rob.</div>
<div><a href="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/screenshot-4041.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-119" title="Screenshot-404" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/screenshot-4041.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="" width="460" height="345" /></a></div>
<div>Barbara and Rob left behind six beautiful children, who are, from oldest to youngest (in the picture below): Ashley (teen, cloud bed), Lindsey (teen, pink bed), Craig (kid, plaid bed), Hannah (toddler, pink bed), Candie (toddler, yellow bed), and Dylan (toddler, blue bed) with Candie and Hannah being twins. Ashley and Lindsey are left to take care of their siblings while still going to school and managing  jobs to make money. But can they still actually have social lives of their own?</div>
<div><a href="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/screenshot-413.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-122" title="Screenshot-413" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/screenshot-413.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="" width="460" height="345" /></a></div>
<div>The Hampton family.</div>
<div>Amy Hampton is a goldigger. She came to Riverview in search of a rich old man, and she meets a bachelor (who just happens to be a doctor. Yum. (: ) who lives in a big house across town. I&#8217;ll give you the name when I look again, I seem to have forgotten.</div>
<div><a href="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/screenshot-69.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-120" title="Screenshot-69" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/screenshot-69.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="" width="460" height="345" /></a></div>
<div>As you can see, Amy is unhappy with the tiny, haunted house she lives in, but it was all she could afford. There is so much more to her story as I&#8217;m very far along (don&#8217;t worry, I&#8217;ve taken lots of pictures), but I wouldn&#8217;t want to spoil anything. On to the next one!</div>
<div>The Laveta family.</div>
<div><a href="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/screenshot-407.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-124" title="Screenshot-407" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/screenshot-407.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="" width="460" height="345" /></a></div>
<div>From left to right (not counting the toddlers for now), we have Samantha, Cecelia, Annabella, Gabriel, and Jessica. Samantha is holding Elliot and Cecelia is holding Lucie. Jessica had a nasty divorce after discovering her husband&#8217;s affair with his boss. He left and took all of his money, and now Jessica is left struggling to raise their six children, and her biggest challenge is Cecelia who is a grumpy, over-emotional loner who is currently extremely depressed and refuses to attend school or work. Can Jessica lead her family out of a difficult time?</div>
<div>The Goodman family.</div>
<div><a href="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/screenshot-409.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-125" title="Screenshot-409" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/screenshot-409.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="" width="460" height="345" /></a></div>
<div>Juliet Goodman (middle) is a good, friendly sim who lives with her husband, Ben Goodman (right) and their young son, Joey (Juliet&#8217;s arms). When Juliet&#8217;s younger sister, Kaitlyn McCormack (left), lost all of her money after a breakup, Juliet took her in. The two had always been best friends. Juliet says it&#8217;s no trouble, but Kaitlyn hates to impose. But the house lacks room, and Juliet and Ben would like to have a daughter. Since Kaitlyn is already sleeping in Joey&#8217;s future bedroom, Juliet and Ben aren&#8217;t sure what they&#8217;re going to do with Kaitlyn. They can&#8217;t tell her to leave &#8211; they both love her. (Ben is learning to love her, that is) How will they work this out?</div>
<div>That&#8217;s all of the families! So you decide &#8211; which family do you see a blog about? The Newsons, the Hamptons, the Lavetas, or the Goodmans? Post a comment with your vote. (Since I don&#8217;t have the time for a poll, we will make do with this.) I will get back to you later this week, next weekend, or when I feel that we have enough votes. I&#8217;m counting on you guys!</div>
<div>Bye,</div>
<div>Krys</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-97" title="Screenshot-292" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/screenshot-292.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-292" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>Amber leaves work the next night with a promotion. Now, instead of a fan, she is a Roadie, but she doesn&#8217;t seem to be too much happier about it. Being the domineering sim that she is, I guess that becoming the slaves of people she wants to be like isn&#8217;t her idea of fun. Well, she shall have her day when she becomes a rock star.</p>
<p>Amber immediately rolls up a want to have a formal party, and because she has the next day off, I decided to let her have that party the following afternoon. (Sorry, I&#8217;ll have to jump around a little for lack of screenshots)</p>
<p>She stands in her party, looking shy for the first time&#8230;<em>ever</em>.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-99" title="Screenshot-299" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/screenshot-299.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-299" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>That is, until she spots a gate-crasher, who suddenly decides it would be a good idea to take Amber&#8217;s guitar with the apparent intention of playing it.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-100" title="Screenshot-298" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/screenshot-298.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-298" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-101" title="Screenshot-300" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/screenshot-300.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-300" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>When she&#8217;s gotten him to put her guitar down and her anger subsides, she&#8217;s decided that she would scream &#8220;Woo!&#8221; at him.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-102" title="Screenshot-301" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/screenshot-301.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-301" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>They seemed to hit it off after that, and Amber thinks that maybe this is her first shot at a boyfriend in this hick town.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-103" title="Screenshot-302" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/screenshot-302.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-302" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>Somebody moves fast&#8230;and somebody is married! Still, Amber pursues him and decides that no one can resist her flirty ways. She rolls up a couple wants to kiss him, to flirt with him&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-104" title="Screenshot-309" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/screenshot-309.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-309" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>Poor guy.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-105" title="Screenshot-307" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/screenshot-307.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-307" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>Julia arrived a couple minutes after the pizza did, and it was then that I realized that this party hadn&#8217;t been cleared with her. Julia was clearly wondering why all these people were in her house, why Amber was dancing like a wild woman, and why Zelda Mae was putting on a semi-concert in the yard. Everyone&#8217;s faces dashed through her thoughts, as she stood there, observing.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-106" title="Screenshot-310" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/screenshot-310.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-310" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>Used to her sister&#8217;s spur-of-the-moment ways, Julia settles down to read a book while Amber deals with the issues of her guests.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-107" title="Screenshot-311" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/screenshot-311.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-311" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>It takes her two hours and several shaken fingers to get her Virtuoso mother, Grace, to put down her guitar. By that time, all the guests are leaving, raving about how great this party was, and that people will be talking about it for a long time.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-108" title="Screenshot-312" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/screenshot-312.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-312" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>Their parents, however, don&#8217;t seem to be getting the hint.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-109" title="Screenshot-315" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/screenshot-315.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-315" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>Robert makes several trips to his daughters&#8217; kitchen and eats what I would think would be the entire content of their fridge. He doesn&#8217;t seem to mind that he&#8217;s left plates all over their floor.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-110" title="Screenshot-317" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/09/screenshot-317.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-317" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>Finally, the parents leave, leaving Amber and poor Julia to the mess.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>*<strong><em>Hey, guys! I&#8217;m sorry this post was so crappy. The next post can be expected tomorrow and will finish off the night. After that, they&#8217;ll have more of a story-line to them. Thanks for bearing with me!*</em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have though about it, and I have decided that I am going to keep posting on The Uncommon Ways. Sorry, Lila, that means your story will never be uncovered&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-91" title="Screenshot-174" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-174.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-174" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>Well, for now, anyway, Lila will remain undiscovered. (if you have no idea what I&#8217;m talking about read the previous post.) I have decided that I am going to continue with Amber and Julia&#8217;s story, and try to make my original plan work. Please understand that I am a full-time high school student, and I probably cannot post every night. But, I will try to play and get ahead on weekends, so that I can post 3 or 4 times during the week if I have time. If I can&#8217;t post during the week, I&#8217;ll do a couple extra on the weekend to make up for it. Also, when you check for posts, it&#8217;d be a good idea to scroll down to the bottom to my recent posts to see if you&#8217;ve missed anything since sometimes I&#8217;ll do many at a time on weekends.</p>
<p>Please comment, guys, so that I have motivation &#8211; something to keep me posting. And tell me who you&#8217;d like to see more of, who you&#8217;d like to see less of, and who your favorite twin is. Believe it or not, I love hearing that stuff. =) But, anyway, I&#8217;ll get the next post up as soon as possible. Thanks for not exploding at me while I&#8217;ve been so indecisive. You&#8217;ll hear from me again soon! =)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ugh, you guys, I have completely abandoned Amber and Julia for so long&#8230;I don&#8217;t even know how long! But I&#8217;m a high school student, and school has started, and it&#8217;s just hard to get  posts in on time. But I&#8217;ll tell you another reason why I haven&#8217;t posted &#8211; I started playing another sim in another neighborhood, and that story would progress much better without me having to struggle to think of something to write. So&#8230;let me tell you what that one, and tell me what you think. This is what it would be:</p>
<p>I made Lila Morris &#8211; a cute, feisty redhead who was made homeless by her parents&#8217; untimely death. She has no family to take care of her, and absolutely no money. The blog would be about her trying to make it and what gets in her way. But at the beginning there wouldn&#8217;t be that many pictures, because I wasn&#8217;t really intending at first for this to be a blog. But if you like this idea, or want more information, COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT! =) I need input, or I won&#8217;t know what to do! Thanks. =)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The night passes uneventvally.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-61" title="Screenshot-24" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-24.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-24" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>In the morning, Amber wakes long before Julia. Julia got to sleep pretty late last night because of all the reading and stargazing that she did.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-62" title="Screenshot-25" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-25.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-25" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-63" title="Screenshot-26" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-26.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-26" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>After bathing, for some reason, Amber decides to make breakfast only for herself and not for her over-sleeping sister, even though work for Amber doesn&#8217;t start until 3, and Julia starts at 9. This could seriously slow her down.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-64" title="Screenshot-27" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-27.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-27" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>When Julia finally woke, she had an hour before the carpool would come, and she wasn&#8217;t even fully rested. After quickly showering, she headed downstairs.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-65" title="Screenshot-28" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-28.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-28" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>A bowl of cereal isn&#8217;t very nutritious <em>or</em> filling, but it&#8217;s all Julia has time for. She eats it while the carpool sits outside, and when she&#8217;s finished, it&#8217;s already gone and she&#8217;s late for work.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-66" title="Screenshot-30" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-30.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-30" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>This won&#8217;t impress her boss much.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-68" title="Screenshot-31" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-31.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-31" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>Back at home, Amber practices her guitar. Being a virtuoso sim, music comes naturally to her and she already sounds good. At least she&#8217;s off to a good start on her day, even if Julia isn&#8217;t. After practicing, Amber decides to spend the rest of her time before work &#8211; you guessed it -</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-69" title="Screenshot-32" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-32.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-32" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>- in front of the mirror, gussying up and checking herself out. She headed to work, and I watched the car drive away. A couple hours later, I spotted Julia standing outside of her work office, about to faint of pure exhaustion. Before I could tell her to do anything, she got on her bike and went home.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-70" title="Screenshot-35" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-35.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-35" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>She headed straight for her bed and took a nap, do not pass GO, do not collect 200 dollars. She had a want to make friends with her boss, and I was planning on letting her do that, but at the moment, she was too tired to do anything.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-71" title="Screenshot-36" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-36.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-36" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>Julia woke before Amber got off of work, and her stomach sent her right to the kitchen. She opted for canned soup, and sat down to eat that. The time told me that it was time for Amber&#8217;s day at work to end, so I checked the theatre for her.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-72" title="Screenshot-39" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-39.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-39" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>She was on her way home. When Amber was inside and had gotten soup of her own, guess what position I found Julia in?</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-75" title="Screenshot-38" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-381.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-38" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>Again, I let the girls act on their own. But this time, I saw something different.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-76" title="Screenshot-42" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-42.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-42" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p> They&#8217;re actually getting along! Amber&#8217;s <em>not yelling</em>! Perhaps she <em>is</em> capable of being polite!</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-77" title="Screenshot-46" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-46.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-46" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>Maybe not&#8230;</p>

<p>After having made the entire move by herself with no help from her twin sister, Julia sets off into town in search of relaxation of some kind before the first day of work as a Snitch tomorrow. Home certainly isn&#8217;t the place for that, because Amber is there as far as Julia knows. But what is she doing there?</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-31" title="Screenshot-7" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-7.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-7" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>That would be taking a call from her childish father. Though she&#8217;s not screaming at him, it doesn&#8217;t seem like she&#8217;s particularly enjoying this conversation &#8211; her hatred of children is to blame.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-32" title="Screenshot-8" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-8.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-8" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>Meanwhile, Julia has found a quiet place to surf the web. I was going to have her join a book club to satisfy her want, but something caused her to repeatedly bang her head on the keyboard. I watched her do this for about a minute until someone approached her, wishing to sit in her seat and use <em>his </em>laptop. Out of free will, Julia stood and introduced herself to him like the friendly sim that she is.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-33" title="Screenshot-11" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-11.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-11" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>After a short chat, he immediately took her seat, so Julia decided it was time to go.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-34" title="Screenshot-12" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-12.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-12" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>As she was walking away, Julia spotted the bachelor family having a picnic in the park. She remembers how, growing up, her family could never do this because Amber never wanted to. Julia gets an idea that her family could have a picnic, and straight away, she takes off toward her parents house on her bike.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-35" title="Screenshot-13" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-13.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-13" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>At the pool, Amber has an idea as well. Hers is more along the lines of showing off her new bikini, though.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-36" title="Screenshot-14" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-14.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-14" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>Before that&#8217;s possible, though, she spots her new boss, Zelda Mae. A little schmoozing for a promotion couldn&#8217;t hurt.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-37" title="Screenshot-15" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-15.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-15" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>As often happens, Amber gets very rude, very fast. Seeing no promotion in the near future unless she kicks butt at the guitar, she decides to go home rather than stay here with her now-angry boss.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-39" title="Screenshot-16" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-16.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-16" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>Julia is going that way, too, now, after finding her parent&#8217;s house empty. When she gets home, she doesn&#8217;t look too happy to see Amber there.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-40" title="Screenshot-4" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-4.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-4" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>Amber looks less than thrilled, too.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-41" title="Screenshot-18" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-18.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-18" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>When they&#8217;re done glaring at each other, I let them act of their own accord with free will. Julia chooses to read (as she does with every spare second of her days) in Amber&#8217;s room, and Amber just checks herself out in her mirror. They don&#8217;t interact at all for the whole day.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-42" title="Screenshot-19" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-19.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-19" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>At this point, Amber was exhausted, so I let her go to bed. Julia wasn&#8217;t quite there yet, so I let her read another book. After that, she went outside to stargaze with her telescope so she could gain a logic skill point for her job.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-43" title="Screenshot-23" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-23.jpg?w=460&#038;h=345" alt="Screenshot-23" width="460" height="345" /></p>
<p>Julia finally went to bed, trying to get the best night&#8217;s sleep she could for her first day on the job tomorrow.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Meet the Ways &#8211; two twin sisters who <em>don&#8217;t</em> have all that much in common, and certainly have more reasons to dislike each other than to like each other. Still, they are living together as a way to save money.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16" title="Screenshot-66" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-663.jpg?w=450&#038;h=337" alt="Screenshot-66" width="450" height="337" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-17" title="Screenshot-67" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-672.jpg?w=450&#038;h=337" alt="Screenshot-67" width="450" height="337" /></p>
<p>This is Julia Way. She&#8217;s a good, ambitious, friendly bookworm who also happens to be a genius. Her life&#8217;s wish is to become a Forensic Specialist: a Dynamic DNA Profiler, and she&#8217;s got a job in that career(law enforcement) right now. She&#8217;s always felt a little resentment towards her sister for just being so <em>rude</em>. On top of that, she had also always gotten more attention that Julia, had all the guys, and was just so good at music. Julia tries to make nice with her sometimes, but Amber isn&#8217;t the easiest person to reason with, and she usually finds a way to yell at Julia.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-19" title="Screenshot-56" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-561.jpg?w=450&#038;h=337" alt="Screenshot-56" width="450" height="337" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-20" title="Screenshot-57" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-571.jpg?w=450&#038;h=337" alt="Screenshot-57" width="450" height="337" /></p>
<p>This is Amber Way. She is a flirty, mean-spirited, virtuoso (musical) sim who is a party animal and dislikes children. It is her life&#8217;s <em>dream</em> to become a rock star, and she&#8217;s doing pretty well on that path. She plays her guitar all the time, and she is currently in the music career track, working her way up to stardom. Amber has never liked Julia, because Julia has <em>always</em> been the smart one. She would hardly have to try and she could get an A! Amber, on the other hand, almost failed out of school. Music was all she had. That still doesn&#8217;t give her a reason to be so rude, though&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-21" title="Screenshot-68" src="http://theuncommonways.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/screenshot-68.jpg?w=450&#038;h=337" alt="Screenshot-68" width="450" height="337" /></p>
<p>Amber and Julia live here, together, in Sunset Valley.</p>
