Some Things About The Best Blogger In The Whole Wide World!!!

Okay, just kidding on that title. I'm pretty sure I'm in the bottom 50. XDD!!!


Anyways, hello hello, all of you! How did your Thanksgiving go!?
Hehe, to be honest, my relatives are coming over TOMORROW, so today was spent lazing around and cleaning our very messy house! YAY! 😑

Before we get this show on the road, I wanted to do just a couple little things first. Number one: I want to show you THESE!!!

 I have been looking for an Eevee toy for MONTHS, but I only ever saw one at this game store. But a few days ago, I finally did it!! I found one at Target! Or rather, my sister did. I'M SERIOUSLY IN LOVE WITH IT, IT'S SO KAWAII!!!!!!!!!

And yes, I like Pokemon kinda-sorta.

 I got this Adopt-A-Pet den, and inside was this pink and purple lion cub! I love it's face, with the tongue sticking out! 😛

And finally, today, I customized an AJ Hamster Adopt-A-Pet...

 INTO A LITTLE COOKIE!!!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
I'm honestly very pleased with the result! I love how Cookie has turned into this blogger-world sensation now, haha!

Here's a side view of her. If you're wondering what that stuff in the background is, it's merely my old iPhone 4 sitting on my Peek-A-Boo poodle, with my phone case sitting nearby.

Oh, and the thing in the kinda-top right is my glasses. 😆

Next up on the list, I wanted to take a minute to thank all of you for being the truly EPIC people...wait, no. Not people. JAMMERS! The truly epic JAMMERS you are! It is...well...WAS Thanksgiving, after all! 

Honestly, though (anyone notice that I say honestly a ton?), you are the best friends EVER! Give yourself a pat on the back for that, and then enjoy yourself with this dancing cockatoo.

Ah, cockatoos. Pretty much the best dancers in the animal kingdom. 😂

Okay, so, now we can get onto the REAL point of this post! 

About a week ago, Lostfairy did a really cool post, called Birthday Ramblings. I thought this was actually a really good idea for a post on my blog! It's not my birthday, of course, but I think it'll still be fun! I promised I'd give Lost credit, though, and I dunno if I've already done that, so... CREDIT TO LOSTFAIRY!!!!!

Let's DO THIS! Just so you know, I'll be using her layout for this, doing things in the same order, as best as I can.

AJ Username-

Swirlshine, but I have 2 storage accounts, Louderthanalion1234, and Sierrasdestiny.

Grade-

7. Yes, I'm young. I cri.

Birthday-

September 12, 2003

One Of My Biggest Pet Peeves-

Being underestimated

One Of The Things I Love The Most-

My family. And since I consider good friends family, that includes you guys as well!

Most Embarrassing Moment-

Okay, let me just say, I'm a VERY weird child. VERY. So that means that I have TONS of embarrassing moments all the time. But here's one that I can remember that was pretty funny!

My siblings and I were playing outside, although I really can't remember if my brother was old enough at the time. But my sis was definitely out there, along with my mom. We were just hanging about in our front yard, and suddenly, we see that the big black lab from a few houses down is out. I dunno if we knew her name was Chloe yet or not. But we had seen her out a few times, and we knew that she got VERY excited around people, so excited that she jumped up onto them.

We didn't think much of it, but then, suddenly, Chloe turns, sees us on the sidewalk, and charges towards us. Not like she was attacking, but, you know, she was just excited. 

My mom screamed "RUN!", and my sister took off. I had no idea why. Chloe obviously wasn't trying to hurt us!

"RUN INSIDE!!", my mom yelled at my again, and, since I'm a very literal person, I took off towards the house, screaming. I think I also yelled "AHH, RABID DOG!!!" at some time. 

I leaped inside and closed the door quickly. My mom asked why I had started screaming like that.

"Because you told me to run! I thought she was attacking me!"

Turns out, my mom just wanted us away from Chloe so that she wouldn't scratch or knock anyone down.

To sum this story up, I ran, screaming like an idiot, away from a overly-excited, but very sweet, dog. XDD!!

Funniest Moment-

Probably that story I just typed up there. That's the only one I can remember, anyway. Funny things happen all day, every day for me, so they're basically just a part of my life. I could tell you about something hilarious my sister did today, but, uh, I dunno how she would feel about that. Plus, this is about me, right?

Scariest Moment-

In recent times? The whole week before my guinea pig died. I'll also admit, I get a bit freaked out when my my mom or dad doesn't come home quickly after doing something they said would be fast.

Favorite Artists-

Do you even need to guess this one? OWL CITY!!!

But I also love some songs by more minor artists as well, such as Ruth B. and Troye Sivan. Ooh! And I also love Imagine Dragons!

(Imma skip the ones where my family describes me, because my two siblings are younger than me, meaning my sister would probably have no idea what to write that's good about me, haha, and my mom and dad would most likely type something completely weird and random. XD!)

Favorite Foods (Not Including Candy-Type Things)-

NACHOS

TACOS

BURRITOS

Bread (I'm not kidding, I love all kinds of things made with bread)

Tortellini

Pizza

Cheeseburgers

Chips and queso

Chicken nuggets

Confession- 

Adam Young is mine. MINE. MINE, I TELLS YOU!!!

In other words, I have a celebrity crush on Adam Young. 

Weird Childhood Memory-

When I was little(er), I had a dream that my mom drove our old car, with me in it, up to my grandma's old house, and there was a giant statue of her old dog, Austin, in the backyard! I kid you not! A giant statue of a dog's head! I thought it was real for a while. By the way, none of the things I said were old were ACTUALLY old when I had this dream.

Dream Item-

A NEW PHONE THAT ACTUALLY WORKS AND DOESN'T GLITCH OUT OF EVERY DARN APP!!!

And TONS of Owl City merchandise. 😜

Favorite Author(s)-

ERIN HUNTER!!!

Time I Laughed When I Was Most Embarrassed-

Oooh, that's a hard one. But I think I just thought of one!

It was at my school. Well, my elementary school. I had invited some friends to eat with me and my mom, and my brother, who was only, like, 3, at the time, was there, too. I'm pretty sure he randomly yelled something, very loudly, like "BEHOLD, MY BUTT!", or something like that. He had heard it on a show, okay!? XD!

But there actually WERE people in that hallway who heard him! Oh man! My friends and I laughed SO HARD!

I told you my family is weird!

Silliest Lie I Ever Told-

Er, well, I don't normally lie, so I can't remember any.

Confession-

I'm that kind of girl who has to have others keep the conversation going, because I literally run out of things to say after a while.

Random Fact-

I want to buy a piece of land someday and make a house into my very own pet resort! Although I'm guessing most people call it a boarding kennel...

But this will be a FUN boarding kennel!

Favorite Drinks-

Dr. Pepper

Sprite

Fanta/Sunkist

YooHoo (a drink sorta like chocolate milk)

Milk

Sweet Tea

Grape Juice

Favorite Season And Why-

Well, summer, of course! Where I live, it can get as hot as 102 degrees in the summer, but that means more SWIMMING, am I right? Plus, no school, and more time to blog and draw!

Favorite Weather And Why-

When it's warm outside, but not too hot, with a gentle breeze blowing. Ahh, just typing it sounds relaxing!

Favorite Thing In Nature And Why-

Uhh...*takes deep breath*

THE ANIMALS AND THE WIND AND THE SUN AND THE MOON AND THE STARS AND THE TREES AND THE FLOWERS AND THE LAKES AND THE WATERFALLS AND THE STREAMS AND THE MOUNTAINS AND-

*Sees you guys staring*

Eheheh. Well, basically everything. I really love animals, though, so maybe they're my favorite?

Favorite Animals-

Dogs

Cats

Cheetahs

Ocelots

Jaguars

Leopards

Cougars

Lions

Foxes

Lynx

Red Pandas

Wolves

Wild Dogs

Hyenas

Animated Movie Crushes-

I don't think I have any, to be honest. Unless you kinda-sorta count Greely. He's not from a movie, but I like him like Bepper does. 

Yikes. Typing all that sounded so weird.

LOOK HOW DERPY AND CUTE IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grumpy Cat Or Boo?-

(I'm changing this one because I've never really had a scary animal moment.)

Favorite Things To Draw-

Cats

Wolves

AJ Arctic Wolves/Wolves

Confession-

Science is the hardest subject for me to master this year.

Funny Childhood Story-

I used to pretend I had an "invisible puppy". You heard of invisible friends? Well, mine was a dog. A Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, to be exact. I used to imagine it running alongside our car on the way to school, leaping on and over things in the way. Once, I even pretended it was sitting by me at lunch. O.o

Odd Fact-

Um...um...um...

I make Musical.lys, but they're honestly horrible. Or at least, most of them. My stop motion ones are pretty good, in my opinion, though! Oh, and I follow everyone who likes Warrior Cats and MLP on there. And I like all videos with pets in them, unless I hear a cuss word. And I normally won't follow people who have anything on their Musical.ly that has anything to do with FNAF. That game scares me. I'm gonna find them in my freakin' closet someday!!!!!! 😲

Confession-

I'm literally scared of some robots now. And talking about robots. All because of that cursed game.

I'm so gonna regret typing this...

Wow. That took me forever to write!! It was certainly fun, though!

I hope you all learned a little something about me, today! Well, I mean, you all DID learn something about me today, right? Like my name! I've not told any of you that before! I just felt like it. 😊

Anyways, now that I'm finally done, I guess it's time to draw this post to a close. Have a great day (or night), everyone, and remember to PARTY HARD, BE KIND, and.........................

:,)

You guys are gonna make me cry! You're too awesome.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Happy Birthday, Flora and Lost!

You are both great friends, so here's some birthday art!! I hope you like it! 😊😊😊😊😊

This is Lostfairy's!

And this is Flora's! Again, I hope you like them! Happy Birthday once again!!!

Here's the picture of Cookie, everyone!

Don't worry about me. I'll be fine. ,:)

Well...Um...

Hey, guys.

😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞😞

You Guys: What, no peppy intro today?
Me: Er, no, not really.
You Guys: 😱😱😱😲😲😲

Sorry. Despite my mood, these emotes are quite fun.

Anyway, I'm guessing you all are wondering what's wrong with me, huh? Where'd the random, peppy Swirl go?
In the basement. For a few days, I'm guessing.
Why?

Well, let's just start by saying that my day was horrible. Yippee.
At basketball, I messed up, and almost everyone in that gym was yelling their heads off because...well, I dunno. Half of those basketball girls can be brats sometimes.
And yeah. Then I pretty much lost it and just screamed "I'M DONE."
I mean, I told the coaches, but still. That brought me down.

On top of that, I twisted my ankle pretty bad before school ended, and now it hurts. 😒😒😒

Oh, but that's not all!

Okay, so, I keep forgetting to post about this, so here you go. My guinea pig, Cookie, isn't doing well. At all. We saw she wasn't eating, and figured out it was because of her back teeth being too long. So, my mom took her to the vet, and the vet tried to file her teeth down. I thought that'd be the end of my worrying, at least, for a little while.

Nope.

She still hasn't been eating. We've been having to feed her by squirting liquid food into her mouth. I still thought she'd be fine soon.

Well, my mom brought Cookie out today, and...yeah. She didn't want to eat, drink, or even sit up. She just lay there, kinda-sorta blinking.

My mom said she'll take her to the vet again, but she thinks they won't be able to do anything.

Meaning I have to choose whether to wait and see what happens to her, or...well...um...I don't wanna say it. You can probably guess what I mean.

I had hoped this day wouldn't come. The last time I dealt with a dead pet was when I was, like, 5! I don't know how to react, what to say, anything. And it's not like I want to go to school tomorrow, either. Honestly, I'm keeping all this to myself, but I'm incredibly scared about what's going to happen next! I don't want her to DIE!!!😢😢😢😢😩😩😩😩😖😖😖😖😢😢😢😢
To be honest, though, I think I'll have to deal with it. She obviously doesn't care to stay alive anymore, and I don't want her to suffer, but I also don't want to just let her die that quick.
I just...I...I dunno.




So that's my life for you. My super, awesome, AMAZING, FUN MODERN LIFE!!! *Gets louder and flings something at the wall on every word*
Sorry.

Nature Pictures!

OH MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!
I JUST REALIZED THAT THEY UPDATED BLOGGER!!!
LOOK!!!! LOOK WHAT I CAN DOOO!!!!!

💗♡ဗ੦。oο0💜🔽Oо💛📁♥О💚❤০💙↟↞⇅↹⇙⇰⇷🔄🔂͐⬻

OHH GOSH I'M SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!! I'VE GOT LITTLE EMOTE THINGIES!!!!!!!!

*Clears throat* Eheheh. Forget all that.

Hello, bloggers and jammers of all ages!! *If you play AJ, you're not a human from now on. You're a jammer. It's a new species.*

So, do you all remember the natural landforms poll I put on the right side of this blog? Well, I wasn't planning on doing anything with it. It was just going to be for fun, because I needed something to put in that gadget spot.

But Ja gave me the idea to actually post some real NATURE PHOTOS of these landmarks! And that's what I'll be doing today!

Now, the number of pictures I'm posting will depend on how many votes that landform got. However, I don't exactly want to find 18 photos of waterfalls, so instead, I will split each of the numbers in half, and post that many! 

Prepare yourself! You may want ALL of these as your screensavers soon! XD!

Waterfalls- 9 pictures

******************************************************

Mountains- 5 pictures

******************************************************

Hills- 2 pictures

******************************************************

Rivers/Streams- 6 pictures

******************************************************

Lakes- 4 pictures

******************************************************

Cliffs- 3 pictures

******************************************************

Caves- 4 pictures

******************************************************

And there you go! Aren't those shots stunning?! And so relaxing! I seriously feel relaxed just looking at them!

Sorry if you meant pictures that I took, Ja! Sadly, I'm not cool enough to travel to exotic places like these. *Cries in corner* XDD!

But hopefully, this post was still entertaining, to you and to everyone else! My favorite was the second waterfall picture. Doesn't it look amazing!?

What was your personal favorite out of these? Tell me in the comments below, and I'll see you soon, everyone! ;)

It's Come!

Let's just get right to it, shall we? No need for a time-consuming intro!

If you read the small info-post I created VERY late last night, you should know that I'm planning to do something pretty cool (well, for me anyway!) on this post! Are you ready to find out what it is? Here's a hint AND who gave me the idea: Credit to Purplestarclub!

I'm going to............BE REACTING TO MY OLD ART!! I feel like you guys will be disappointed with that answer! D:

Today, I had my sister pick 6 old drawings of mine from our very, VERY messy game closet upstairs. She kept them on her bed until I told her to bring them down. I haven't gotten a good look at any of these pictures yet, since I told my mom to upload them from Google Drive! I wanted to wait until I made this post to see them, so I'd be more surprised. My sis tells me that some, or at least one, of them are/is pretty bad, but my mom thinks they're all good, so I honestly don't know what to tell you! Just...keep an oxygen tank and mask close by, okay? Just in case.
I'm super excited to be doing this!!! Are you all ready?
Then HERE I GO! *Gulps* Oh no...I'm gonna regret this...

Oh...my...freaking...gosh...

I remember this! I was trying to draw some of the penguins from that penguin Magic Tree House book! Clearly, I failed. This is probably gonna be the worst one you see today. You may not think it's too bad, but I certainly do! The feet...and...and the huge crown...and...and that hunchback...and... just...no. My title for these sketches isn't exactly original, either. Does anyone know what on earth is wrong with that happily deformed penguin at the top?! Is it swimming? Is it sliding on its belly? I honestly don't know!

EW

EW

EW

EW

EW

EW

EW.

I remember this one, too! And boy, do I wish I could forget it! Just LOOK at it! In case you couldn't tell, I was trying to draw the Jamaa Derby game.

But WHAT WENT WRONG!? Do you SEE those back legs on the 2 horses in the back!? Did i even TRY!? And what about that little hedge-thingy that the horses jump over? It looks like a starting line made of poorly drawn flowers! You can tell I wasn't very...er...SKILLED...at drawing AJ horses back then. I'm probably still not. But those legs bother the heck out of me. XD

Aaand I just realized I gave the front horse 2 Unicorn Horns. *Facepalm*

What is life.

I better stop saying "I remember this", because I clearly remember most of them anyway.

Okay, so, in case you didn't know by now, I'm a fan of MLP. Don't judge. I just am.

Back then, I liked drawing by taping a piece of paper over a computer screen, then tracing an image. I don't think the Zecora is too bad, but WHAT IS SHE WEARING!?

Answer: My attempt at a fitting dress.

I literally drew a dress on each one of my pony tracings. And they were HORRIBLE DRESSES!!! I gave my "outfits" horrible designs because I honestly couldn't think of what to make on it. I seriously drew things like hearts, flowers, and stars all over them, because I apparently didn't know what the word "fashion" meant. And I guess I stooped as low as to put PLAID on Zecora's dress. I'm guessing she died after I drew this.

WHAT...

...IN THE NAME OF CELESTIA...

...IS THIS.

Apparently, a scary-eyed guinea pig named...Sparky...in an ugly cage.

I think I need that oxygen mask now. *Cringes hard*

I don't even know where to begin! The tunnel, the ears, the wheel, the feet, the cage door...it's all something that, if my art teacher saw, she'd be speechless at. And not the good kind of speechless.

And what was young me doing, naming a guinea pig SPARKY!? That is an unoriginal DOG name, Old Swirl! Sheesh!

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

*Faints*

*Wakes up 5 minutes later, sees picture, and starts screaming again*

WHAT...WHY...JUST...NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can now see more of my DELIGHTFUL dresses, as well as how AMAZINGLY I drew pony legs back then! I mean, check out Fluttershy's! Now THAT'S STYLE! *Sarcasm. Sorry. Just in case you needed this.*

And try not to get scarred for life by Applejack's eyeball. Just try to focus on how happy you are that I DIDN'T draw Pinkie's eyes open.

That cowboy hat is pretty fly, too. *Shudders*

I didn't even finish COLORING THIS!!!??? WHEN I HAD ALREADY STARTED!!!???

Pass me that oxygen mask. And 3 tanks full of air. And start pumping.

The wings are, like, HALF AS BIG AS THEIR BODIES!!! And can we talk about the bodies? WHY!? Why are they so CHUBBY!!???

*Says in important tour guide voice* As you may have noticed by now, Older Swirl didn't even have the decency to make the dresses have a DRESS-SHAPED END! Nope! She just left them to look like odd tattoos on the poor ponies' flanks. *Cry*

Gotta say, those feet are REALLY making it work! *Facepalm*

*Takes oxygen mask off*

*Bangs head against wall 6 times, one for every bad drawing*

Okay. Now that that's over...

I really hope you all enjoyed this post!! Despite all my complaining, I really loved doing these little reactions! They helped me realize how far I've come, and hopefully, they help you feel better about your drawings, too! When you're feeling bad about your art, just remember: You can't be as bad as Old and Older Swirl! XDD!!

Mostly, though, these just made me laugh! Again, credit to Purplestarclub for giving me this idea: It was a great one, and I'm glad I did it!

Should I do more art reactions in the future? Or maybe reactions to STORIES I wrote back in the day? Go ahead and tell me your thoughts and opinions in the comments! Until tomorrow, remember to PARTY HARD, BE KIND, and.................

JAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

ONNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
