Twins, a TV and a Saturday night girl. - Spring 2004

So Bella and I are a thing again, which is cool cause we can go out together on the Village green for Peace's concerts.

Bought an MP3 player, love it! Bunny Fox gave me a 44" TV to play around with after I invited her to be the town doctor starting in 2008. I think I like being an Assembly person. Feels good to do something.

Zola's twins are so cute, I go in there sometimes just to give them a good cuddle. now don't get me wrong, i like them in the capacity that I can give them back when I'm done cuddling! Not ready to settle down and have kids and all that jazz. Honestly I'll never marry again.
The one I'm holding here is Beada, she's got blue eyes and her brother Aaron has brown.

I'm surrounded by strong women - Spring 2004

I am amazed at how well Raina is in dealing with Tuon. She cries sometimes but she gives as good as she gets. She's a strong one. These past couple of years really let us reconnect. We were closer than anything as kids, but grew apart when we hit high school and she started dating. Despite the circumstances, I don't regret this move for us. We are even talking about being roomies after we can get out of the boarding house.

I'd like a life with Zola but I don't think that's going to happen. I keep seeing Tom Voss hanging around. Zola is a proud woman. The pregnancy took alot out of her and those twins are going to run her ragged, I can just feel it. She won't ask me for help. It was hard being there for the birth with Tom around.

I've met another woman as well, Sheila Sellens and I get along well, but I haven't the guts to ask her out. She's the red head watching me play the pinball machine.

I'm getting a good rep! - Fall 2003

People are starting to notice me more around here. I guess that horrible ambulance incident didn't affect people's opinion after all. The townies are all saying what a good person I am. Some even say I got a raw deal, that I was trying to save lives.

I even got a new job as a political intern. I like politics and it's something the town really needs. There are laws in place from the founder and regulations from the builders but that's it. We could use more town services and town hall looks like a good place to start.

Hardly see Zola around she always seems to be working.

Witchy Woman - Fall 2003

Been in a foul mood lately, witchy even. This townie keeps showing up and loitering around the house. I tried to annoy him in hopes he'd go away but no luck. He's starting to steal our food and sleep outside. Leland made him pay a fine and I hope he won't be back.

Larry Landgrab set me up with a friend of his, Ashiya Matthews, she says she's a white witch. not sure I'm interested in all that stuff, sounds more like Ernesto's thing all that studying and such.

Hardship and heartache -2002

This has not been a good year. It started out good. I went over to the arcade just to be around Zola and it seemed like she was hitting on me. I got a crush, bad!

And I got a promotion to paramedic and even got to start going to medical school in simcity.

Then my luck began to change.

I must have imagined the flirting with Zola cause I saw Tom Voss sneaking out of her apartment at 3am. I thought maybe she really liked me. But she obviously likes Tom more.

Then I made a well, poor decision, I chose to drive on the sidewalk to get to an emergency. I've seen it in the movies like a million times. Wrong! I got fired and Leland said I was lucky none of the pedestrians filed charges or might have gone to jail or had to pay damages.

So now I'm out of work, with no girlfriend, no medical school, and no luck. Leland has it all going for him now. A steady girl, police academy, just got an award. Why can't I have what he has?

I Made Tuon Cry -2002

Bella's busy alot. I hardly saw her at all this year. Leland was so happy to find Susannah I thought I'd give the gypsy a try. I didn't have alot of extra money to pay for a date so I don't think she set me up with anyone particularly suited to me. I mean Yasmin's nice and all, but I think she's straight. that's her in the picture by Leland. You know nice, like we could be friends but not much more.

The local bully, Tuon is always at it. We fight constantly. He just can't stop insulting people and shoving them around. I let him have it after he insulted Leland for being a rent a cop. That was even after he caught that burglar and got promoted and all. like always he resorts to hitting and slapping people around. Tuon doesn't have a decent bone in his body. Every one else is so much nicer. I'm just glad I made the big wuss cry. That's right, everyone can see now what wimp you are! Ha!

2001 - A New Day

Raina's safe and with the exception of the stupid..(DELETED). Tuon, she's happy. I don't know about this whole dating women thing of hers but she's happy and I haven't seen that in a long time.

I started work as a EMT and volunteered to do the newsletter. Maybe I could be a doctor one day. I go to the arcade alot too. I don't really like games but I do like Zola and I get to be around here when I go there, even if we don't talk.

I have chances to read here and learn all sorts of things. The apartment is a bit cramped for two people but it'll do for now.

Journal - Raina Romina - 2001

I don't know if this was a good idea.

We had friends in simcity, we could have stayed with them. but this apartment...it's cramped so most of our time is in the common area, But Tuon is always in the common area. He can't understand that a woman might not want him or a man won't want to be him. He's a ... well what he is my mama always said not to say. He's picking fights all the time calling me names and shoving and poking me. he makes me angry and worse I hate it that he makes me cry. I'm not a fighter but i'm not gonna sit there and take that kind of junk. I hate that man. Just like my Ex in all the wrong ways.

Then there's the other problem. The idea of a brand new town seemed to attract mostly men, just like all those frontier towns in the old west. I looked all over, well on the village green and the arcade since that's the only thing going at the moment. No other women, except for Peace and Zola. It's like a ghost town and gets pretty spooky at night. Not exactly the best environment for finding a woman to date.


Finally I found a woman on the internet, she live just outside of town and came in for a visit. Her name is Bella, Bella Goth. She was great to talk to and things got a little out of hand, but I'm sure she'll come visit again soon.

Moving In
2001 - A New Day
2002 - Hardship and Heartache

Journal - Ernesto Addario - move in day

I think we can stop running here. Looks like it could be a nice place. I hear they are building a community college. We need a place to rest. Raina had some real trouble with that foul husband of hers. Our parents don't get why she doesn't stay married, but no one should suffer through what he put her through. When she took him to court to sign the divorce papers he practically tried to kill her. Hopefully he'll never find her here.

I never got to go to college, but here no one has yet so I can get the same opportunities as everyone else. One day I want to run my own publishing house, can't do that in the city with no degree. We don't have much stuff so unpacking was a breeze. Raina's too busy checking the place out, complaining that there's nothing to do, only the village green is open now. She'll find a way to occupy herself, she finds pleasure in the littlest things. Maybe here she can be happy.

Bio: Raina moved to Silver Grove Valley after getting rescued from a tragic marriage by her brother, Ernesto. Their parents did not understand why she wanted a divorce, being very traditional they thought that marriage was marriage no matter how bad it got. But it got so bad that she feared for her life and asked her brother for help. He gave up everything and ran as far as they could go, which happened to be Silver Grove Valley. She has since sworn off men, now preferring women instead.
