"Larry The Bunny"- A New Story?!

Hello everyone! Man, I've been posting a LOT this week, huh? XD!
Well, I actually have a good reason to be back here today!

You Guys: Really. l:l
Me: What?! I do!
You Guys: Tell us, then!
Me: Okay, okay!

SO
STARTING TODAY
A NEW STORY
IS BORNNNN!!!


That's right- I am officially starting a new story!
And here's the story BEHIND that story, XD!

A while back, Lost made this post about the AJ adventure "Storming The Fortress", and she and I made a joke about one of the bunnies, whose name is Larry, even though it has the female eyes, XD!
I mentioned that I should make a story about this unfortunately-named bunny, and Lost agreed!
I hadn't gotten around to it, but I've had ideas for the first chapter for a long while, and I figured "Why not start it today?" Plus, I was inspired to write again after re-reading and editing Jamaasian Middle! :D

Keep in mind- this story is supposed to be a joke story, and kinda not at the same time... if that makes any sense at all. XD!
So, without further ado, here's... LARRY THE BUNNY! XDD!





Larry The Bunny
By Swirlshine



Chapter 1
Henry the bunny stood in the waiting room of the Jamaa Hospital. He attempted one last time to peek through the small window on the nearby door, but it had been covered with some sort of fabric, and he could see nothing. He sighed. 
Suddenly, before he could move out of the way, the door opened, and hit Henry, who was caught off guard, in the face. 
"OW!" he yelped, and rubbed his head with a paw. He hopped around to the other side, where a white arctic wolf with very light blue chest fur, wearing a Lab Coat, a Stethoscope, and a Flower Crown, stood in the doorway.
"Oops! Sorry about that, Mr. Henry!" the arctic wolf apologized, noticing the rabbit at last.
"It's fine", Henry assured her, shaking his head. Then he looked up. "Am I allowed to come in now?" he asked hopefully.
The arctic wolf smiled and nodded. "Yes, it's just fine. You have a new member of your family to welcome!" She stepped aside to let Henry go by.
Henry hopped inside and over to a carefully arranged pile of fluffy pillows. A pink-and-white female bunny was lying on top of them.
"Hello, Henry", the bunny greeted him warmly. She waved him closer with a paw, then pointed down at something.
Henry went over to her, and looked to where she was pointing.
There, nestled in the pillows, was a snow-white baby bunny, with faint, purple-blue patches. It appeared to be sleeping, but, after a moment, it yawned and stretched out a tiny paw, which touched Henry's nose.
Henry smiled, then looked back at the pink-and-white rabbit. "Are you alright, Cora?"
She laughed and nodded. "I'm just fine. But you know, we really need to name this little one." She motioned at the baby bunny.
Henry gave a nod. "Wait", he said suddenly. "Is it a girl or a boy?"
Cora just blinked at him. She turned towards the door, where the arctic wolf nurse was still standing, and gave her a questioning look.
The arctic wolf shrugged apologetically. "I don't have the info on that. Let me try to find who does, though." She padded out of the room and let the door close behind her.
Henry and Cora stared at each other for a minute or two, both looking sheepish, until the door opened again. The same nurse walked back in.
"I apologize", she sighed. "We can't seem to find where we put the documents for that. We've just has so much to do lately."
Another doctor, this time a teal-and-white coyote, suddenly burst in.
"Nurse Leah! You're supposed to be across the hall right now, remember?!" The coyote flicked her tail impatiently and pawed the ground.
"Oh! Oh, right, yes!" The arctic wolf, Nurse Leah, began to dash out the door, then paused and turned. "Sorry... duty calls", she apologized, and then raced away.
Henry sighed. "Well, guess we have to do this ourselves, huh?" He stared down at the baby bunny again. "Maybe it's a boy?"
"And how do you know?" Cora raised an eyebrow.
"Well... um... it... acts like one?"
Cora groaned. "It was just born an hour ago. How exactly does it "act" like a boy already?"
Henry shrugged sheepishly. "It... um, just does. But trust me- I know my stuff, and this is definitely a little boy." He looked at Cora. "I, uh, think."
Cora put a paw to her head and sighed. "You better be right, Henry."
Henry studied the tiny bunny again. "He looks like a Larry to me. Should we call him that?" He glanced hopefully at Cora.
Cora's ears flattened, and she looked nervous. "Are you sure it's a boy?"
"Come on Cora! Trust me, I'm pretty sure."
The pink-and-white rabbit looked at Henry, then at the baby bunny, then back at Henry.
"Fine", she finally said. "Larry it is."
Looking down at the baby once more, Henry swore he saw it smile slightly.



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



And BOOM! There you have it- Chapter 1! XD!
I'll try to post a new chapter whenever I can! It won't be a regular posting schedule, like with JM, though, because I need time to think up some more ideas! Plus, I don't always have the time to write a whole chapter of a story!
So chapters will be posted whenever possible! :)


Anyways, I hope you guys are looking forward to this as much as I am, because LET ME TELL YOU, I have ideaaaas for this story. XDD!
Remember to PARTY HARD, BE KIND, and JAM ON, and I'll see you all super soon! ;)

Christmas Gifts!

*Shrug*
I know, I said I was going to edit the post below this one, but eh, why not make a separate post for this? Don't want that post to be too long, anyway!


Anyways, hello once again, everyone! I hope you all had a super amazing Christmas Eve and Day!!

I'm super excited to share what I got with you guys, but, before I do, let me just put this out there:

I am NOT trying to brag, in ANY WAY, by making this post. I promise.

Alright, now that we've got that disclaimer in big letters, let's go ahead and jump into the post! I'll start with Christmas Eve! :)



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

Alright, so, Christmas Eve, my cousin and one of my grandmas came over to our house. Last time my hyper cousin visited, I actually got hurt kinda badly, so I was nervous that would happen again, but luckily, he was a lot calmer this time!
Also, I just wanted to thank Lostfairy real fast for being so kind on that day! I wasn't feeling very well for a while while I was cleaning up the house, and I was kinda worried I'd be sick on Christmas Day. Lost made me this super adorable picture telling me to get well, and I love it!


And it seems it cured me or something, because here I am, perfectly fine (unless you count allergies :1) on Christmas Day! :)
Or the day AFTER Christmas Day, I suppose I should say!


Anyways, Christmas Eve ended with my family watching a movie, and then, before I knew it, it was Christmas Day! 
I absolutely loved all the gifts my family got for me! I won't include all of them, because some are small and not a huge deal, but these two pictures include most of the big, significant ones! :D



Some of these are kinda hard to see and/or understand, so I'll include a list of what's in the pictures, too!

-Minecraft Wolf stuffed animal
-Candy dispenser (under the wolf toy)
-A "Dubstep Machine", as I like to call it (the thing with all the colored squares on the box)
-Skullcandy wireless headphones
-Color-changing light bulb
-"Squishies" (the cupcake and pink cat)
-Swiss Cake Rolls
-Air-dry clay (yes, the writing is in Japanese. Ignore that, eheheh)
-Snorlax Pokemon toy (on top of the clay box)
-Treble Clef music necklace
-Two patches for clothes (the banana and the "be WEIRD")
-A color-in Bible
-Peacock hardcover sketchbook
-Warriors (A Vision of Shadows): The Darkest Night
-"Music is my first love" t-shirt


I did get a few smaller things too, like an iTunes gift card, a reading light, and a PopSocket for my phone, but, like I said, I'll just leave those out of the picture this time, to save space and time!



Honestly, I think the things I'm most pleased with are the headphones (which I needed badly, because earbuds fall out all the time for me), the Warriors book (which is the next book in the series I need to read), the sketchbook (it's so PRETTY and I can bring it to school in my backpack and it won't get bent and AHHH! XD!), and the Bible (which I actually really wanted but didn't exactly ask for, and it'll be great for the camp I go to every summer!)!


Oh! I almost forgot!
First off, here's a close-up of the two patches and the necklace!

Notice anything about one of the patches? 
Hehe, yep, I DID write "BOLD" in Sharpie on the banana one, because it can't just be a NORMAL banana when I'm not a normal person, right?! XDD!


And second, there are actually a few gifts I got that haven't been shipped or made yet! One is this SUPER CUTE Owl City owl stuffed animal, which I CANNOT WAIT to get in the mail...


And the other is a custom Owl City shirt, designed by me! I'm definitely adding my favorite quote onto it when I make it! ;)




Well, that's honestly all I have for now, guys! Overall, this has been a great Christmas!!
If you guys want, tell me what you got for Christmas (if you haven't posted about it yet- but even if you have, it's still fine!) in the comments below, because I love hearing what everyone else got! Plus, I don't want this post to be ALL about MY Christmas, when the holidays is a time for sharing and being kind, right? Hehe!
I hope you all enjoyed this Christmas post, and I hope you all had a super amazing Christmas Day yourselves!
Until next time, this is Swirl, reminding you that JESUS IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON, and to PARTY HARD, BE KIND, JAM ON!
See you all next time! ;)

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!

Me: *Literally bounces out in bright red, white, and green clothing*
You Guys: Woah! Swirl?
Me: *Holds out hand in a 'stop' motion* AH! It's FESTIVE Swirl now!
You Guys: Er... okay. But anyways, Swirl-
Me: FESTIVE SWIRL.
You Guys: FINE. Anyways, FESTIVE Swirl, could ya maybe skip the rest of this intro and get on with the post? A lot of us have-
Me: IT'S CHRISTMAAAAASSSSSSS!!!
You Guys: Well, yeah, we know-
Me: SO HERE, LET ME SPAM LINKS TO GOOD CHRISTMAS SONGS!!
You Guys: NO! NO, SWIRL, DON'T-
Me: HERE YOU GO LISTEN TO ALL THESE RIGHT NOW!
You Guys: *Facepalms*


XD! Sorry for that odd intro...
BUT I AM SO EXCITED!!!


Merry Christmas, everyone!
Can you believe it's already here?! Aah, it came so fast!!


So, because of the fact I'm writing this on Christmas EVE, so that you all can see it on Christmas DAY, I, uh, actually don't have any presents opened yet to show or anything, eheheh!
But I'll update this post later and show you all what I got in a day or so! :D



In the meantime, why not go around and see some Christmas-themed dens made by some of the bloggers? (Thanks for the idea Lost!) :D

Since Lost came up with the idea, let's go to her den first! :D

Aww! Thanks for putting this out, Lost! ,:D
For everyone who hasn't yet gotten one of these Masterpieces made by me, I'm sorry, but they may be rather late! I've only had time to make 4 so far! Hopefully, I'll get one out to everyone at some point- although with the amount of time I have, and how fast my amount of diamonds is decreasing, I'm not sure how fast! Sorry! D:
They may just have to be Beginning-of-2018 gifts... hehehe!

 Such a cool entrance so far! I love how ya bordered the outside of the den with those Pixel Fences, Lost!
And WOAH! Is THAT what the Epic Seasonal Tree looks like during Christmas?! I don't own one, so I wouldn't know, XD!
 Ooh! This part is so cozy and pretty! Man, imagine if all the dens in AJ were real houses! :o
Well, minus the Gingerbread part... XD!
 Same with this section! I love how the Christmas tree is up on the second floor, and not on the first, like a lot of people do (I admit, I'm guilty of doing that... XD)!
And AH, THERE'S ANOTHER ONE OF MY MASTERPIECES! You're so sweet Lost! ;)
 Okay, let me just say, I LOVE this idea! I made use of my chocolate pool in my den, but it's kinda odd sometimes if it doesn't really fit with the den's theme. So this is a really clever way of covering up the chocolate, even if you DO still get brown, like my deer in the picture, when you step in it, XD!
 YAY! CHRISTMAS MASTERPIECESSS! XD!
And this nice little area is complete with Frostyblush in her lil' mini Snow Fort den! Frostyblush really is super cute, hehe!


Next up... hmm... let's try Sarah's den!
(I dunno if this a Christmas-themed den... but it IS winter-themed! I'm pretty sure of that, XD!)

 The rainbow shining down onto the table is a really pretty addition, Sarah!! :D
 Aww, this is such a pretty kitchen! And you made use of the Elegant Table! I never could figure out where to put that item... XD!
 The mailbox and mailbag is a great addition here, and, once again, the Pixel Fences are used in a great way as well!
 This is a really nice-looking bedroom! I have to say, in my Friendship Cottage den, this area is a LOT more cluttered! XD!
 WOOHOO, YOU FOUND A WAY TO USE THE SHARK COUCH! XDD!
 A very nice display outside, by the heart-shaped frozen pond!
Aww, look at the little plushies playin' football! So cute, hehe!


Goodness, I'm taking FOREVER with this post! Let's do one more, though!
Here's Gracie's Christmas den! :D

 Aww! The pets look like they're sledding down a hill! Great idea Gracie!
And ACK, does EVERYONE have enough inventory space to border their den with fence but ME?! XDD!
Okay, so I DO have Clover Fences... BUT THOSE ARE TOO NATURE-Y FOR CHRISTMAS DENS! XD!
 This room is super cozy! I'd definitely want to relax here, hehe!
 A nice lil' place to hang out and watch TV! And look, there's my some of my art AGAIN! :o
 Hehe, the little snowman family is adorable!
And XD, me and Gracie put put this Masterpiece from House in the same spot!
Oooh, FOOD!
*Eats it all*
Eheheheh...
XDD!


Oh MAN, you have NO IDEA how fast I typed that last part of the post! I've gotta go!
But hopefully you guys enjoyed this post! Stay tuned for an update! ;)
Please remember to PARTY HARD, BE KIND, and HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE!!

A VERY Odd Juice Hut Visit! (A Not-So-Short AJ Story!)

Me: *Has headphones on* I WANDER AROUND THE STORE AGAIN AND AGAIN
You Guys: ...?
Me: BUT ALL I DO IS SHRUG
You Guys: Er... Swirl?
Me: CAUSE I DON'T HAVE A CLUE WHAT TO GET THEM
You Guys: Swirl.
Me: AND I'M READY TO SAY
You Guys: Swi-
Me: BLOG HUMBUG
You Guys: SWIRL!!!
Me: BLOG BLOG-BLOG-BLOG-BLOG
You Guys: *Screams* SWIIIIIIRLLLLLLLL!!!
Me: BLOG HUMB- wha? *Takes headphones off*
Me: *Looks over* Oh, hi guys! When did you get here?
You Guys: SWIRL. THE POST?
Me: OH! OH YES, THAT!


^
SOOOOORRY FOR ALL THIS USELESS JUNK!

I was still singing. Sorry, XD!
WHAT!? I'm listening to a Christmas music playlist I made, and it was on Humbug! And I wanted to sing Sarah's version! And-

OOOOOH PEPPERMINT WINTER'S ON!!!!

You Guys: SWIRL.

Eheheheh... okay, I'll stop. Or attempt to, anyway.





AAAAANYWAY...

Can you guys BELIEVE that Christmas is only 4 days away?! Like, how on Earth did it come around so fast?!
But I'm super excited, and I hope everyone else is too! Christmas is definitely my favorite holiday (although if my birthday counts, they're tied, XD)!!

But today, I'm actually not here to talk about Christmas!

*Pulls out a chair and takes out a big old-fashioned storybook and opens it*

*Talks in grandma voice* Sit down, children, and let me tell you the story of... *pauses for dramatic effect*... "The Juice Hut Fiasco".

XDD! Okay, I'll talk normally now!


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

Alright!
So, on Tuesday, a lot of us bloggers got on AJ to help Lost take some pictures! We went around to lots of different locations, and our final one was Captain Melville's Juice Hut in Crystal Sands.
So, we went in there, got into our positions... and then- here's the first, smaller part- in comes a skin-colored-and-pink arctic wolf. I'll just call her "pink arctic wolf" in this story, XD!
So she came in, and I guess she thought we were having a party or something, or recording, because she walked RIGHT in the middle, in front of Lost, and started dancing like us.
But then we started saying something, and, after staying pretty silent this whole time, she started saying it too!!
And we were talking about Bold Bananas. Which that arctic wolf has most likely NEVER heard of (if she has, that's kinda freaky. O.O). 
So, uh... yeah, she apparently REALLY wanted to be included!
But then, we all stopped dancing after the picture was taken, and she...
ACK, WHAT DID SHE SAY AGAIN?!
Um...
I think it was something like "Let's keep going guys!"
And then she kept typing what we had been saying.
Over.
And Over.
And OVER!
XDD! Honestly, it was pretty funny, the way she just jumped in and acted like she knew what was going on!

BUT THEN
OHHHH MAN GUYS
THIS IS THE GOOD PART!
XD!

Suddenly, a non-member white bunny walked in. She immediately went up to that little stage, sat behind the microphone, and said:
So we all got to listen to her... uh... GREAT, "original" (I wonder if it actually IS...) song!
I sadly didn't get many more pictures, because I was too busy cracking up behind my computer screen and shouting stuff with a lot of "XD's" on another tab. Heheh...
While I was wasting precious screen-shot time, Lost conveniently wrote down all the lyrics to this bunny's wonderful songs!
XD! Thanks Lost!

Here's exactly what she "sang" for the first song, apparently called "Why Don't You Care", as you can see in that picture above. Again, credit to Lost for writing all this and emailing it to me, hehe!


Why Don’t You Care

Oooooh

U said I was the only one

But now…

U don’t rlly care

U never really did

Y don’t u care!

About

Meeeeee

I thought I was finally happy

And im jealous

That ur happy without me

Of the way u said goodbye to her

U never talked to me like that

So sweet and kind

So now

I need to ask

Did u ever care

Or was it all a lie

Even tho

And no why would it be a lie?

U said u cared

Was it rlly true

Or did u just say that to make me smile

……

Ohhhhh





And here's another picture I took of the chat!


Now wasn't that song delightful? XDD!
I have to say, this bunny didn't exactly make up (or so she says) the... uh... HAPPIEST songs.

As soon as she finished her first one, and we were all applauding because of it's sheer beauty, she typed "ty ty", and immediately started another one, called "The One That Got Away".
I think that one might be a real song. I swear I've heard "the one that got away" in a song before, but that's all I know.
So here's the second one!

WARNING: This one is quite odd. Like, seriously.


The One That Got Away

It was the summer after

High

School

When we first met

We would make up in our mustang

To radio head

And on my

Ate tent birthday

We got matching tattles

Used to stealing ur parents like and climb to the roof

We'd talk about our future like we had a clue

Never dreamt that one day

I'd be losing you

IN ANOTHER LIFE

I WOULD BE URS

We'd keep all our promises

Its us against the world

In another life

I would be urs

And I wont have said a word

But ur the one who got away

The one who got awayyy

Ooh woahh

Ooh woahh

The one that got away

The one..

That got away



So... yeah.
Not-
WAIT.
WHY IS IT PUTTING A SPACE THERE?!
DID I TELL YOU TO DO THAT COMPUTER?!

NO
I DID NOT.

*Sigh* What did I do.

OH!
I FIXED IT!!!
WOOHOO!
XD!
Sorry- technical difficulties, eheheheh!


So, where was I?
Ah, yes. The end of the second song.

Yeah. So... that was the second one. Personally, I think that's a real song, but she didn't exactly say that one was "original", so... yeah.
As I was saying, not exactly the most... how do you put this... clean, maybe (not as in bad words or anything)?
You get the point.
That one line was really odd... but also SUPER hilarious, because of the way she typed it!
My personal favorite part of the song was "Used to stealing your parents"!
Like... WOAH
WE'VE GOT OURSELVES A PARENT-NAPPER OVER HERE!!!
XDDD! But seriously, you guys have NO IDEA how hard I was cracking up at that line!
Oh, and "matching tattles"! XDDD!
It was obviously supposed to be tattoos, but it's still so funny to me! XDD!

*Pauses for a second to listen to The Christmas Song by Owl City*
Ah, this song is so pretty.
*Hums along to the chorus*
No, Owl City is NOT the only music I listen to! I listen to tons of other songs! It's just that a pretty good majority of them are Owl City... eheheh!

Okay, sorry. I had to just let myself get into it for a second there. Hehe!

Anyways, after saying "ty ty" again after finishing the second song, the bunny ran off the stage and kinda just... disappeared. She obviously left the room, of course, but it was odd how she just went... poof. XDD!


*Closes storybook and adjusts reading glasses* The End.


So... er... yeah! That's my story for ya!
It honestly was super funny, guys.
Some of you were there- you know what I mean! XDD!



Well guys, thank you so much for reading! That is, if you made it this far! XD!
Thanks for putting up with me for this long post- and sorry, I seem to be a bit hyper tonight, hehe!

You Guys: A BIT?!

Okay, okay, I'm VERY hyper tonight. XDD!
But hopefully you guys had enough time to read this super-long post and enjoy the true story! XD!
Here, have a link to a really good, but sadly waay underrated, Christmas song!


Sorry it's just lyrics- haven't watched the actual video, and I always use lyric videos for my background music!
Hope ya like it! :D


Have an amazing day, everyone! Remember to PARTY HARD, BE FESTIVE, and JAM ON!!!
Swirl OUT! *drops mic*
XDD!

AJ Artist Tag!

Me: *Dashes in super fast and almost slips and falls*
You Guys: Woah, Swirl, what are you DOING?!
Me: *Pants* Gotta... post...!
You Guys: What's the rush?
Me: *Pants* Stuff... to do... gotta... post... then... do... school stuff... can't... stay up... super late!
You Guys: Wha?
Me: *Takes deep breath* I HAVE STUFF TO DO SO I CAN'T BE ON HERE FOR LIKE 3 HOURS SINCE I HAVE A POSTER TO FINISH FOR ELA CLASS AND I HAVE TO STUDY FOR TWO EXAMS AND I CAN'T STAY UP SUPER SUPER LATE! *finally breathes again*
You Guys: O.O



Ack, sorry for that weird lil' intro guys, but that's how I'm feeling right now! XD!

I do have two exams tomorrow, then more on Tuesday, then even MORE on Wednesday.
And let me tell you, I am NOT prepared for them. AT ALL. Specifically my Spanish one.
Long story short: 100 QUESTIONS.
I kid you not.


But enough of all that school talk- who wants to talk about THAT?!
Instead, how about we get on with the tag?



Alright, so this is the Animal Jam Artist Tag! Let's go ahead and get started!


1. What's your favorite AJ animal to draw?
That'd have to be wolves- arctic and normal! I feel I'm pretty good at drawing them! However, it IS fun to try drawing different animals! I still need to try drawing Kara's hyena sometime!
2. Which animal (in your opinion) is the hardest to draw?
Oooh, that's a good question!
Hmm... I haven't drawn a BUNCH of the animals on AJ, but it looks like the otter would be pretty hard to draw in my style! In fact, I think I've tried drawing an AJ otter before, and it, uh, kinda turned out weird. XD! I mean, their head kinda morphs into their body... it's kinda difficult for me to draw!
3. Which one of your AJ art pieces are you most proud of?

***EDIT***
AHH! I can't believe I ended up posting this without a picture! My apologies- I was playing AJ and got distracted!
Okay, anyways...

I'm assuming this means Masterpieces, and not traditional pieces of AJ animals, so... I'd have to go with this one!
I just love how the whole thing turned out! Although I don't use it too much, that airbrush tool certainly CAN be great for small details like stars!
4. Do you like to draw digitally, traditionally, or on the AJ Art Studio?
Definitely traditionally! The lines are a lot straighter, you can "undo" more than once, and you can choose to make lines EXACTLY how think or thin you want them! Just easier, in my opinion! And plus, like Lost said, art programs are HARD to figure out! At least, they are for me!
5. What's one tip you have for AJ artists?
I'd say try drawing the animals in your own style! If you find it kinda hard to draw AJ animals, just use some of their unique features, like their fur patterns and such, and add them to your own style! Take it from me- it usually makes drawing them a lot easier! :D



Ah, goodness, this post is actually pretty short! Sorry about that guys! I swear I had something else planned to post, but, uh... I forgot what it was. XD! Sorry!
So I guess this is the end of the post! Thanks for patiently waiting for this, guys- XD!
See you all next time! Remember to PARTY HARD, BE CREATIVE, and JAM ON! ;)

WHAT Happened!? In TEXAS!?

HELLOOOOO!

SO.
I have not postedddd...
In quiteeee some time.


I apologizeeee!!! I've been really busy IRL lately, and plus, I've been... eheheh... forgetting most of the time as well.
Actually, I've been forgetting LOTS of stuff lately.
Stuff I should've finished forever ago.
But oh well, XDD!


But hey, why don't we get onto the post, because let me tell you, the events that happened that I'll be talking about were SO AMAZING to me!!!






Okay, so, on the 7th, I had a guitar performance at a celebration-thing that's a tradition in my town. It was SUPER cold- in fact, when I left, it was 37 degrees Fahrenheit (sorry, I go by Fahrenheit!), which is almost to freezing!
Anyways, we were playing guitar out in the almost-freezing weather, and it was raining too.
So THAT was fun.

You Guys: *Blinks*
You Guys: *Gets up and starts to leave*

WAIT WAIT WAIT! IT GETS BETTER, I PROMISE!

You Guys: *Slowly turns and sits back down*

Thank you. XD!

Anyways, it was miserable for a while, but GUESS WHAT!?
After a while, the rain turned into actual...
SNOWWWWWW!!!

Snow is NOT a normal thing for most Texans. Seriously, we NEVER see snow down here. My dad said the last time it snowed a decent amount was around 1983, or something like that!
So it's been a VERY long time since we've seen snow down here!

IT.
ACTUALLY.
SNOWED.

And not just a thin dusting- okay, so it WAS still kinda thin... BUT IT COULD BE PLAYED IN AND STUFF! XDD!

Anyways, as soon as I got home, my siblings and I went out into our backyard and started doing the typical snow day activities! You know, the ones on TV and in books, like building a snowman and making snow angels and having a snowball fight and all that? The stuff me and my siblings have NEVER legitimately done before?
Yeah, we did ALL of that! XD!

And guess what elseeeee?

I TOOK PICUREEEEEEEESSSS!! XDD!



 Took this super quick at the celebration I was playing at, and... I mean... it's snow... so it, er, falls... so sorry for the quality! But IT'S SNOWINGGGGGGGG!!! XDD!
 A picture of a house from my car when we were leaving, XD! LOOK AT ALL THE SNOWWWW!!
 More snow along the ground! Haha, it looks so oddly-shaped!! XD!
Aaaand more snow right before I left! XDD!
A nice picture of a tree in our neighborhood with lights on it. My mom told me to take this, XD! I actually really like it, despite the quality!
 
"'CAUSE THE BAAACKYARD
IS COVERED IN SNOW!"

I'm trusting you got that reference, Owl City fans! XDD!
 MY SIBLINGS AND I MADE A DERPY SNOWMAAAN!!
And I totally didn't name him Ronald... eheheheh...
BUT WAIT.
BEFORE YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT HOW BAD THE QUALITY IS IN THIS PICTURE, LET ME TELL YOU A STORY!
*Opens story book and puts on grandma reading glasses*
Once upon a time, Swirlshine was playing in the rarely-seen snow and made a snowman. She wanted to take a picture of it, so she tried to take a picture with her iPhone with snowy gloves on. In the dark. This didn't work well, and, literally right after having to ask Siri to open her camera app, her phone died. "NOOOOOO", Swirlshine yelled, and ran to give her phone to her mom so it could charge.
Finally, Swirl got her phone back, and tried to take picture with a gloved hand, which turned out to be extremely hard. But she finally did it, and she lived happily ever after, until she had to figure out how to carry her phone back inside without touching it and getting snow on it.
THE END!
True story. XDD!



The snow delayed my school's starting time by two hours, so I got to sleep in a bit! This morning, the snow was still there, so I was able to take good pictures in the daylight! YAY!
 A field along the road that was covered in snow!
Just imagine how much you could do with all that... *grins evilly and rubs hands together*
XDD!
And finally, what the scenery looked like from my dad's windshield, XDD!




Unfortunately, when I got to school, the teachers decided to be extremely rude and not let us throw snowballs or touch the snow or anything.
I mean, COME ON, IT'S NOT DANGEROUS!!! It's actually pretty soft!
But yeah, I was highly annoyed that I couldn't go out and enjoy the snow some more before it melted, and Lost heard ALL about that this morning. 
Sorry Lost, XDDDDD!

But anyways, behind one of the gyms, where I was waiting for my first period teacher to come and unlock her door, a lot of us DID have some secret fun with the snow, including me, XD! For some reason, I just like to kick it around and roll it into a random snowball that'll never be used. XDDD!



And... yeah! That's my snow day(s) for you! It had all pretty much melted by the time I got out of school.
But I had a SUPER fun experience, and, even though I, uh, couldn't exactly feel my feet after coming back inside (XDD), I loved it all! I'm really hoping to go to a place with LOTS of snow in the winter sometime soon!
*Nudges Lost* XDD!
Hope you guys enjoyed this post, because I certainly enjoyed the last few days! Until next time, remember to party hard, be kind, and jam on, my bold bananaaaaaaassss! XD!
