flea If you set yourself to "busking" you'll make money by playing on the streets. Sometimes you can make close to 50 bucks. As for your money disappearing you probably had yourself set to party or shop which will take money; or you went on a date which can cost up to like $500.

You learn skills from people acting as your Master and you their apprentice. Being in the Univesity location though accelarates the rate at which you learn. To learn from the teachers at NYU you have to get to know them well enough to ask to be their apprentice.

I eventually want to learn Art & Design I think it is so that I can become a tatoo artist. Free ink for everyone!!! =D>
I just got a new job as a bartender at the Club Sonic Sound for $700 a week. I tried for more money as a salesman at a couple places but my charm wasn't high enough. I'm putting some points into charm now so hopefully be able to get a better job next week.

I saw somewhere that you need to get your charm factor up to 'mediocre' for the sales jobs. I'm hoping to do that next...

You should hang out at home and set yourself to rest after our jam... we're all getting pretty low health actually so we're moving from NYU to B72s place for the next couple of updates since we can still do the apprenticizin while resting and regaining health. :thup: We don't want you in the hospital for the show!

Oh, and speaking of there's another mood thing coming up with New Years, this time we just need to buy fireworks. :thup:

I think rest helps both but if you need mood boost take like 20 bucks out of your bank and set yourself to shop as that targets mood a bit more than fraternize I think but you could come hang out with us at Chez Palmer and try that too :thup: You have to keep yourself above 20% or they'll throw in the hospital. You need to switch up from always Busking as that and practice give a big hit to mood and health.

Just realized that I had "fun money" in my paypal acct since I got a refund on a cd and forogt about it so what do you do with found money? Spend it! :-p So I hooked in for 3 months of PopoVIP... so if you need to know prices on anything let me run em for ya as I get the shopping assistant that seeks out the lowest prices. 8-) Just send April a note at Popo and she'll get back to you :tiptap:

Speaking of which if you didn't get your fireworks yet you can get them for $51 at Gemma Books.

Basic Comedy is only 310 bucks at Feng Shaun - New York so that might be worth it for you guys to be able to use 'Tell Joke' as a positive instead of negative thing, gives you another purely hetero interaction available to you ;)

Calv, if they are sold out at Kelsey's try Lilly's Bargain Barn. Are you sure you have to buy basic strings before learn to play guitar? :-?
