Jolene's World: (Companion to video episodes #2, #3 and #4) - Spotlight on Ashley and Darrel

Image
Hi! It's Ashley, Jolene's BFF! Jolene is happily married and has a baby now while I'm still trying to finish school and start my adult life.  I think I finally found Mr. Right. His name is Darrel Buzzerby, and we went from acquaintances to romantic interests after sharing our stories of heartbreak and betrayal.  I had been dating this guy, Lane Vogel, who had a girlfriend who "didn't understand him." He swore he was breaking up with her, so we went on a few dates, and I was really starting to fall for him. Then I found out he had no intention of breaking up with her and was just stringing me along! He was shameless, claiming he never said he intended to break-up with her and thought we had an "understanding" about our relationship. What a creep! Anyway, I digress. I told Darrel my sad story, and he told me his. He said he had a crush of a girl from college named Chen, and they were really good friends, but she always kept him in the "friend zone...

Homeless in the City - Part 6: Kirk Takes Control of the Mansion; Carmen and Angie Get Hitched.

 When we left off, Kirk was looking for a good general contractor to help remodel the mansion he now lives in with his new wife and step children.

Not only do the kids each have their own room, but there's room for Kirk to hire a butler - something he's always dreamed of having.  Billy was telling his school friend all about it. He felt Kirk spend way too much money. Some of that money was meant to get Billy, Alfonso, and Keri through college! Billy's friend Zachary thinks Billy should throw a party there when the adults are away. (Sorry, I didn't take a lot of screenshots while I was filming the video, but I'll include some of the house in the next episode.) The dysfunctional stage has been relocated and expanded so Kirk and Josephine can perform for their guest...

Jolene's World Cast of Characters

Image
 This is the official "spin-off" of Sagehen Mesa, anchored by Jolene (Rowland) Lawson who grew up in Sagehen Mesa, attended college in Sunset Valley, and occasionally makes an appearance as a visitor to Sagehen Mesa or on escapades with some of the people of that town. Now she is living and raising her family in Sunset Valley. If you're new to my stories, here are the key characters in this series: Jolene has a flair for being dramatic, and she's fond of sticking her nose into other people's business. She was known for spying on the neighbors and citizens of Sagehen Mesa as a teen. She envisioned herself as a real-life Veronica Mars: a teen private investigator dealing with cases both big and small in the town.  She is credited with exposing the illegal buzzberry operation in the area just before leaving for college.  Her "extracurricular community service" points earned her a scholarship to Sunset Valley Community College where she became a member of t...
