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.

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?

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 - 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: Ernesto moved to Silver Grove Valley after rescuing his sister, Raina, from a tragic marriage. 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 Ernesto could not stand how Raina was treated and when she asked for help he gave up everything and ran as far as they could go, which happened to be Silver Grove Valley.
