The Stupid English Paper

[Catwalk_SC]

Yeah. I like the title too. Anyway, this is a story about two of my favorite sims, Shae and Jill. Shae’s a third generation sim, and basically I love him. For a bit of a backstory, his father is a celebrity sim in my game, and has been since he was a teenager. That kind of just means that I take lots and lots of pictures of him and photoshoots. He has a full creativity bar though, and has had once since early teenager-hood (without cheats, yeah, his parents let him play with the xylophone A LOT.) His mom is a model I’ve used in many pictures. Jill is my self-sims daughter. Yes, I am a model. Just not as famous as the Britt in the story. Just clearing that all up before we start, and all of that does matter. *phew*

This is the exact reason why I hate English class, Mrs. Barrow. You make us do mindless work that I will never remember in about 4 weeks. Maybe more then that, I have no idea how long it will take you to correct these things. You tell us to tell you about our family. Everyone knows about my family. Open a tabloid and there’s a full story.

You see, I don’t know if you know this (But judging from the paparazzi last parent teacher conference, I’m guessing you noticed.) but my dad and mom are pretty prominent figures in Hollywood. My dad, Fin Caldwell, has been a famous musician since he was 16. He was one of those teen heartthrobs; you probably had a picture of my dad on your wall. Creepy. You’re also probably going to check right now too. Me and him are actually pretty close. I do wish he’d take his piercings out though. It’s weird being able to trade labret studs with your FATHER.

This is the picture you found on your wall, isn’t it?

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/Cherry%20Valley/Lillie2.png

My mom? She’s a supermodel. You know how guys my age sometimes have pictures hanging on their walls of chicks in fashion magazines? Yeah, if I do that, I’m probably putting up one of my mom’s co-workers. Even creepier then you crushing on my dad. She’s always been a great mom though, we’ve been really close. Sometimes she’s a little crazy, but, so isn’t everyone, I guess.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/Cherry%20Valley/CarriganChild.png

And that is my little sister, Carrigan. I was 5 when she was born, so I don’t remember much about life before I had to look out for her. We’re actually pretty close, if that’s not beyond weird for a older brother and a sister. I can tell guys are going to be chasing after her in a few years though, they’d better watch out. I’m kind of skinny, but I can punch real good. You should remember, Mrs. Barrow, when you had to break up that fight between me and that kid last year. I’m sorry for hitting your eye. I swear I thought you were him.


I also have a little brother named Foster. He’s still extremely young, he’s not even a year old yet. I think my parents were just bored one day and decided it would be cool to have another kid running around, honestly. It’s a very big jump from having older kids to a baby randomly again. I don’t even have a picture of him because when I ran up to his room to get a picture mom grabbed the camera and told me I’d give him radiation that way. Mom didn’t seem to care when she did an entire magazine spread with me the day I was born.

I figured you’d now want to see a picture of that. Yeah, I was pretty cute. Anyway, I’ll call this intro quits for now. I’ll show you a picture of my dog later. And talk about something eventful, hopefully. Hopefully I can introduce you to Jill. She better talk about me in her paper, swear to God, Jill. You’re making her class do this too, right?

[.~*Iris*~.]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL HILARIOUS!!!

aaaah love it!! keep it up it's AWESOME!

"I swear to God, i thought you were him" Loooooooooooooooooooolll!!!

[washington]

I like the beginning! I cn't wait till the action and stuff starts. <3
I'm really wanting more. ;]

[Catwalk_SC]

Whoo. Ok. English paper. Do teachers get together and decide homework together? Because you should, this is the 4th paper I've had to write this week. And I have some hair styles to try.

Anyway, you know this already, but this is Jill. Jill Ford, daughter of Britt, yes the model, and Mark. We are supposed to write about our families, but I honestly don't want to. My family is known by everyone. Maybe not the right things, but they know of them.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/The%20Fords/Me.png

My mom, Britt, is the famous one. I'm not getting into it. She's my mom, the whole fashion thing never really mattered to me.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/The%20Fords/Mark.png

My dad, Mark, however, is a detective. People thought it was weird that someone so normal was dating someone with a celebrity status, but, I think it was smart. They really love each other, you can tell.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/The%20Fords/FordKids1.png

I have two younger siblings, twins. The older one is Ryder, and the younger one is Stefy. They are honestly great kids, I'm proud of them. And yes, that's a little me in that picture. We were the cutest little kids I've ever seen!

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/The%20Fords/JillTeen2.png

And that's me. With one of my many hairstyles. I don't think I've gone more then 3 weeks with the same one. I don't know why, I just like to change my look. I know no matter what, one person won't judge me.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/English%20Paper/Shae.png

And that's my best friend, Shae. You obviously know we're best friends, since we're both constantly together. I know what you're thinking, girls best friends are supposed to be girls. If they are that close with a boy, something must be going on, right? Wrong. Shae's the only person who completly understands everything. His parents are in 'the buisness' too. We grew up together, our sisters are best friends too. And plus, he's way more girly then he's letting on. You've seen that hair. Do you know how long it takes him to do that? 45 minutes. Every morning. That's longer then it takes me to do mine, Mrs Barrows.

I hope this was good enough for this first part, just our introduction, right? Me and Shae are going to the bowling alley later tonight, I want to finish in time.

[PennyTheCorgi]

Wow, awesome start! I can't wait to read the rest of it! :)

[auroraspirit]

Its spoken in a teen way which I feel is good, its like as if we are reading someone's diary (although I could never do) Good job, keep it up Catwalk :)

Auroraspirit :angel:

[Plumeria330]

this is off to a good start, i really like it

[Catwalk_SC]

Thanks for all of the great feedback everyone! It's hard to try and make it obvious between either Jill or Shae's writing, but I think as time goes on it will make itself more noticable that Shae's usually dripping in sarcasm or saying something absolutly ridiculous. I hope. ^^; Next chapter will go up either tomorrow or sunday, I'm not sure if I'll have time to get the pictures tomorrow.

[jenny]

geat start to your story, I like it lots:D

[Loco]

Oooh, nice start, I really like it. I love how casually they both write, even though it's for an English essay-thing. :D Keep it up!

[Nikisha]

I love it! Really awesome. Can't wait for the next update!

[sweetbabyhnd]

Cant wait for the next update!!!!!!

[Catwalk_SC]

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/English%20Paper/Foster.png

WHOO. Ok. So today was very exciting. It was my little brother’s birthday. He looks so much like my dad, it’s crazy. He’s the only one of the three of us with Dad’s hair color too. That’s right, I’m a natural blonde. I figured you knew that by now, but, you know, whatever.

Also, I’d like to point out that we have only a month until prom. And you gave us this nice project to do. I mean, this is actually kind of a cool one. You said we could write anything and everything we want to. I could basically go on a f-this rant, or just write down lyrics to a Sex Pistols song or something. But I won’t, because this is basically the only thing I’ve attempted to work on all year. It’s my end of the year present to you, Ms. Barrows.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/English%20Paper/Prom.png

So, yes, for prom…I dunno. I know I’m not supposed to be excited about these things, but I really am. I know who I want to go with me too. I think you know as well. She’s only the most perfect girl in the world. NO ITS NOT YOU MRS BARROW YOU SNEAKY WOMAN YOU. Tried to pull a fast one on me, didn’t you? But, in all seriousness, I’m terrified to ask her. She’s only my best friend, we’ve been that way since we were, hmm, 6 years old, and, OH YEAH I’ve had a crush on her since I was 11.

Could you possibly tell her for me? Scratch that, I’ll grow a pair and ask her next week.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/English%20Paper/Twinkle.png

By the way, here are those pictures I promised. That’s Twinkle. No, I did not name my dog Twinkle. Carri did. Even though it’s my dog. I hope mum and dad will let me bring her with me after we graduate. I might as well ask Twinkle to prom. She’d look cute in a dress and would probably just lick my shoes all night long.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/English%20Paper/Attack.png

This is also proof that my mom is off her nut. I was minding my own business, walking down the hallway, and that crazy woman throws a pillow at me. So, I pick it up, and she whips another out of nowhere and starts beating the life out of my nice hair. MY HAIR. Jee whiz mom. Do you know how much time and effort it takes to make it stand up like that?

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/English%20Paper/Burnt.png

I paid her back by burning the life out of supper. Nobody said I should ever cook.

[washington]

Nice update! I love Shea, especially when he's thinking about taking Twinkle to the prom. xD

[Catwalk_SC]

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/English%20Paper/NaturalHair.png

I’m back to my natural color again! I’m pretty sure you noticed that in class, but still, I figured I’d write it down. Who knows when I’ll look back at this and laugh at my choices in hair?

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/English%20Paper/Shopping.png

As you know, it’s coming close to prom time. Mom got a few racks of dresses sent to the house for me to look through to try and find a dress. I know, I’m not the girliest girl ever, but every girl gets a little excited finding a prom dress. Even if they aren’t sure they are going.

You see, the thing is, I want Shae to ask me more than anything. But will he? Probably not. Because he’s Shae. He acts like he could speak up about anything any moment, but the second it really matters, he just falls through. Maybe he’ll finally grow up. I doubt it though.

So I’ve narrowed it down to two dresses. It’s either this blue one:

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/English%20Paper/PromOne.png

Or this green one:

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/English%20Paper/PromTwo.png

I can’t decide which…hopefully I’ll decide before the actual dance!

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/English%20Paper/GoodCook.png

I don’t have much else to talk about, but, today, I did make supper. Who’s the best cook ever? I think it might be Jill. :)

[~Squash-buddy-ven~]

Wow, great story. I like how it's written. Very lively and teeny.. :D

[Tixi]

This is such a good story, really teenage...ey...
and great pictures

[beeps]

This story is very funny; I hope to read more soon :)

[Loco]

They're so cute, I want to steal them! :D I love this story.

[jenny]

fun story!...update soon:D

[LadySwig]

Great story...i like the green one :D

[exactduckwoman]

They're so cute! Kind of weird English papers, but it's always important to amuse your teacher, I guess. I also like the green dress better.

[Catwalk_SC]

The whole idea is that it's kind of like a journal that they have to pass in for English class. I dunno if it makes much sense, but I thought it was a good way to get real emotions out of them. :lol:

And thanks for all of the compliments everyone, glad you're enjoying. :)

[Panique]

This is awesome! Moremoremore plzkthx :P

[Catwalk_SC]

Alright, this was origionally supposed to be way longer, but I'm going to be very very busy the next few weeks, so I'm shortening it quite a bit. There's only 2 more chapters, this one included. Sorry for keeping it so short. ><

I'm so happy you are letting us write our journals together this week, Mrs Barrows. Of course I decided to write with Shae. To keep you from being confused, Shae suggested we use different colors. So what Shae says is in bold, and what I say is normal. Got it?

So prom was amazing. I finally got off my *** and asked Jilly over here to the prom. I'm so happy I did too. Here's our poloroid from the dance.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/English%20Paper/ShaeJillProm.png

He cleans up pretty well, doesn't he?

After was really fun too...we went to a pretty sick party.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/English%20Paper/TV.png

...What? It was a pretty intense episode of Degrassi on. Look at those facial expressions!

The night went off without a hitch. There was only one really awkward moment as well. That's a record.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/English%20Paper/Awkward.png

It's so sad that this is the last time we're writing in these journals. We've spit out our thoughts in them for a few weeks now.

I'm just glad we don't have much more work...graduation is in a week!

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/English%20Paper/College.png

[Catwalk_SC]

I decided I'm going to do one more chapter, so this is not the last one. I love update chapters. They're cute. :)

Dear Mrs. Barrows,

I’m writing this to you because I am apparently extremely whipped. I’m hoping you remember me, this is Shae Caldwell. The memories are just flooding back now, aren’t they? Well, I was actually thinking about those journals we wrote in the last few weeks of highschool. I found it when I was moving back home from college. That’s right, I graduated that too. You would never guess what I majored in, either. Art. I want to be a chef. Shocking, right? Well, all of those times I burnt the life out of macaroni and cheese taught me something – make something else up. Apparently, I’m very good at that. So, anyway, here are some pictures.

That’s me now. I’m back to my natural hair color (how awkward did it look to have black hair with blonde roots? Backwards much, Mr. Caldwell?) and I’ve also become visually impaired. I’d get contacts but, well, I’m awful lazy. You should remember that, Mrs. Barrows.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/English%20Paper/ShaeYoungAdult.png

College was a blast. I know what you’re wondering. A. Why I told you I was whipped at the beginning, and B. Where the hell is Jill. Guess what. She’s the whipper. …Not literally. But you get the point. Me and her stayed together all throughout college. Shocked that I can stay with one woman? …Me too, kinda. Except for the fact that I love Jill more than anything in life. Is this an AWW moment? Because if it isn’t, I have one. I proposed to Jill our last week of college. I did it all cute, too. I got her favorite song on CD, and then played it. So she came into the main room of the dorm, and everyone was standing around and I proposed to her in front of the stereo.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/English%20Paper/Propose.png

Yeah, I thought it was pretty cute. I may be a complete *** sometimes, but I can be extremely adorable when the time comes. Oh, and if you’re wondering, she said yes.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/English%20Paper/Yes.png

So I guess the whole point of this was to say thank you. Sure, making us do a project the last few weeks of highschool was a bit mean and ridiculous, but it made us think. And actually learn how to write. That too.

[Panique]

That last shot is SO AWESOME. BUH.

And that's so sweet. :3

[Loco]

That was so cute! I love it! Eeeee, I'm all happy now. :D

[SparklesGirl]

awww that was a cool short story thing, I wish it was longer though. Great job! :gidea: And I want your graphics card T_T

[Catwalk_SC]

There's one more chapter left, and I'll just say it now, it's really, really cute.

[Catwalk_SC]

Dear Mrs. Barrows,

It's your favorite student ever again, Shae! I figured I'd send you an update since graduation.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/English%20Paper/Kissies.png

Well, me and Jill moved into a really nice house on the total opposite end of town from our parents houses. Yes that was on purpose. Jill had so much fun redecorating that thing...she hated how it looked before. We both got some great jobs...Jill's doing commercials now, you might've seen her on a bunch. I'm working in a restaurant, and totally not burning stuff, it's excellent.

So you might be wondering how come you didn't get any wedding announcements and such? CAUSE YOU AREN'T INVITED. Just kidding. We haven't gotten married! We were going to this winter, but, well, something got in the way.

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l134/PinkLimed/English%20Paper/BABEH.png

I knocked Jill up! Please don't give me a high five like my dad. Extremely awkward. Especially since Jill was two feet behind me. Honestly, I could not be more excited. We're going to get married when the baby is a bit older. I think I'll be an excellent (and probably one of the sexiest) dad. And who knows, maybe him or her will be in your english class in highschool as well!


That just forced you into an early retirement, didn't it? :)

- Shae Caldwell



The End.

[erinboberin33]

OMG.
best story award ^^.
I loved it.
I wish it was longer though..

But great job. (:

[Catwalk_SC]

Yeah, I wanted it to be longer as well, but I'm afraid I won't have time...'eh. Maybe it will come back with the new baby writing, who knows? ;)

[erinboberin33]

-SQUEEE-
omg. that would be sweet.
^^

[leighthesim_SC]

that a cool but very short story, i like it

[SparklesGirl]

XD *is loling* i loved shaes hes so cocky, very well done!

[Catwalk_SC]

Shae's my favorite sim ever, I love him too much. *squeeze*

I'm honestly really thinking of bringing the story back...maybe with a slightly different format, with Shae writing to his grandfather instead...what do you think?

[Loco]

Awww, I love it! Shae is wonderful. I just love that he's still writing to his English teacher. :D Oooh, I'd love to see more story - that sounds good!
