Share your TSO expirences, stories, and memories

Oh man, one of my favourite moments was with this person named Samantha Cool, in Blazing Falls and Calvin’s Creek, I believe. He wind up owning an internet radio station known as Creek Radio. We had a good friendship going, talked constantly, but eventually lost contact when he shut down the site. I say "he" because, name aside, his Sim was a women and he went as that name, even outside of TSO.

Hey everyone i think it would be cool if everyone shared their experiences, stories, and memories they have :D
I have plenty jotted down already, working on putting them into story form for the possibility of the book idea Afr0 posted about. Maybe this thread will help bring out more of the communities stories.
I'll post some of mine when I return home from work.
 
Here are some memories I have jotted down, not put into story form yet.
TSO Memories

I stumbled upon TSO by complete accident.
Bought my 1st computer and needed a game to play, so I went to best buy and bought a copy of sim city/sim theme park, which came with a free trial of TSO.
I had played the sims before and I had never played a game with online interactivity.
my 1st sim was born on my birthday in January 2003 he was a clown faced character simply named Edot.
the first choice I had to make was which city was I going to move into, I looked through the city names and Mount Fuji popped out at me, I think simply for the reason that my initials are MF.
I remember being overwhelmed and not knowing exactly what to do, what the game goals were or if I was going to even enjoy the game itself.
I visited a few places, watched people interact and do what sims do. I found a property that did payouts for story writing and they were looking for roommates. I can't remember the house name but the owner was a female sim named Parker Posely. Her and the roommates of the property liked to walk around in sim pajamas and call themselves the "butt-flap crew".
after my free trial was up I wasn't sure if I was going to continue playing for a price. I reactivated my account about a month after my trial expired.
by that point I already had collected enough funds to buy my own lot which was a small money making property, jams and story writing with no payout bonus... That didn't go so well with most of the other properties paying a bonus per sale.
I spent a few months just roaming around, skilling at various places, jamming for money and meeting people.
after some time I ran across a store property that advertised the do rare pet pulls, I didn't know what this was but I was interested to find out. This is where I met my best "sim friend" in my time on TSO. Her sims name was Little Happy Kitten or Happy Little Kitten, lol it's been so long I kind of forget the order. She taught me what a pet pull aka rare hunt is.
made 3 more sim accounts, all clown sims, all with edot in the name. IKnowEdot,WhoIsEdot and WhereIsEdot. At 1 point in time, before I became a full out rare hunting shop owner, I used a pizza bot to make money faster. It was ok but nowhere near a profitable as it was for me as a shop owner. Even after I stopped doing pizza, I kept my 3 extra accounts to help with shop hours and for holding the 2 rare lots I owned ( 1 island and 1 peninsula ).
my top 5 Mount Fuji store was called Rare Pet Hunting, I did a few pet pulls for customers but preferred to keep the luck to myself so I could sell all the rares I pulled.
I pulled mount fuji's very 1st rare pink poodle and almost pooped my pants IRL in the process. I sold it for 21 million, 5 cheetahs, 5 afghans, 1 tiger and 1 Saint Bernard. That was my biggest and most memorable cash in, in my sim career.
at 1 point I took to the eBay market, selling simoleons, pets and other in game rare items. My 1st sale was for a complete set of pet statues, 6 in all, 2 cats, 2 dogs each material, gold-silver-bronze, for $125.00 USD. Over time I made over 100 transactions for a pretty penny. My last transaction ended bad, I got a charge back to my paypal for over $150 for a tiger and a few million because at the time, tangible items were not covered.
