A Couple New Tags, YAY!!

Hellooooooooo everyone! How are yoooou? :D

I'm in a good mood- perfect for a post, XD!

Anyways, sorry about my silence in the community lately. If I ever go quiet for like, a week, just know that there's a 95% chance it's because of school. 

I've had quizzes to study for, choir practices, and play practices as well (and I have to be there for ALL of them since I'm the lead role, eheheh!), and all that's been leaving me pretty tired after I leave school, and very unmotivated to post!

But hey, I'm back now, and I'm ready to do some tags!!

You guys have no idea how much I love tags. And quizzes. Well, the fun ones, not the school ones. XD!

But honestly, I love answering creative questions and such! Idk why... I'm quite odd. But you all knew that already, XD!

Oookay, I'll shut up and just get on with the post now, XD!

Or wait, okay, no, I can't shut up completely- I've still gotta talk.

Or type.

Whatever. XD!

Okay, NOW I'll get on with the post! (Gosh, I'm talkative today, XD!)

First, I was tagged by Sarah in her 6 question book tag, so let's answer those!

1.What book are you reading right now?

Well, I just finished book #1 of Wings Of Fire, called "The Dragonet Prophecy", and I loved it, so I'll be getting book #2 very, very soon from my school library! Technically, right now, I'm not reading anything new, but that'll most likely change this week!

2. What book did you previously read?

I guess I already answered this on the first one, XD!

Oh! I DID also finish reading The Fever Code, from the Maze Runner series, a few weeks ago, though!

3.What book are you planning on reading next?

Goodness, does my answer to the first question answer all of these or something? XD!

Like I said, Wings Of Fire, Book 2: The Lost Heir! YAY FOR SEAWINGS! XDD!

4. What series are you planning on reading next?

Well, I'm going to try and get through the whole Wings Of Fire series, but after that... hmm, I really don't know! Maybe I'll try the Heroes Of Olympus series, since Sarah suggested it?

5. What is your favorite book series?

Pft, you all know the answer to this question- WARRIORS!

Although the Maze Runner series in a close second, hehe!

6. Favorite book character?

WHAT?!

OUT OF, LIKE, EVERY BOOK I'VE EVER READ?!

GOODNESS SARAH, YOU PICKED A HARD QUESTION!!!

XDD! Actually though, this is a really good, thought-provoking question! Let me think...

Well, I like Spottedleaf from Warriors, as I've said before, but I also really like a lot of other Warriors characters, and Newt from The Maze Runner, and Clay and Tsunami from Wings Of Fire...

UHHHHHH...

You know what? This time, I think I'm gonna go with Finpaw from Warriors! He's such a playful and happy young cat, despite being seriously injured once, and the way he left everything behind to be in ThunderClan with Twigpaw was very, very sweet! I just find his character super cute- at least for now, because who knows who he'll be when he's a full-grown warrior? XD!

SORRY NEWT AND CLAY AND TSUNAMI AND SPOTTEDLEAF AND LEAFPOOL AND CROWFROST AND ALL OF YOU AWESOME CHARACTERS OUT THERE!!! YOU ALL ROCK AND THIS WAS SO HARD TO DECIDE ON!!!

Aaaaaand I'm talking to book characters.

XDDDD!

Anyways, thank you for that tag, Sarah! It was very fun! :D

Next... and last, XD, Ja's Trio Tag that she tagged me in a while back! Sorry it took me this long to do it, Ja! I kept forgetting, XD!

Let's goooo!

1. Share 3 random things you did in your life that you've never shared before

Oooh! Lemmie think...

1. My mom told me that, when I was super young, and my sister and brother hadn't been born, I would make her come into my room and play Littlest Pet Shops with me. XDD!

Oh dear... I have 0 ideas right now...

Umm...

2. When I was younger, I attempted to write an Animal-Jam based song for some reason, but, uh... that didn't turn out well at all. XD!

3. I've actually completely and downright refused to do a science experiment at school before.

Well, okay, it was last year... XD! Luckily, my teacher wasn't mad (he kinda found it funny and said it reminded him of his son, XD), so I didn't end up having to do it after all, and I didn't get in trouble either.

Doesn't sound too exciting at first, but trust me, that was completely out of character for me- I never refuse to do assignments- but I wouldn't do that particular thing then, and I still wouldn't do it now. 

2. Name your 3 favorite movie series

1. The Maze Runner series, no doubt. ;)

2. Darn. I actually haven't watched many movies SERIES at all so far. I suppose I could say Hunger Games? I've only watched the first movie so far, but I loved it, so sure, let's go with that. XD!

3. Okay, I'm out of ideas here, and I apologize. I need to get into more movies, ehehehe.

I'll just go ahead and say that I loved The Greatest Showman! Not a series, but I've got nothing else that I can think of, and it was just really fun to watch! XD!

3.  Name your 3 favorite places to go

1. The hangout.  

Hmm- well, I love going to the park, where I can just run around and enjoy nature and all that! 

XD, that sounded very childish, sorry.

2. Book stores. Of any kind, really. XD!

THEY'RE COZY AND HAVE BOOKS AND SOMETIMES STUFFED ANIMALS.

IT'S BASICALLY MY HOME. XDD!

3. Haha, well, I know this is an odd answer, but I love going to choir class at my school. Definitely the biggest perk about public school for me!

4. Name the top 3 smaller things you want to do in your life right now?

WOO, EASY- OH.

SMALLER THINGS.

Fine then, XD!

1. Get the second WOF book and the next Warriors book (when it comes out) and read them, XD!

2. Learn how to animate this summer!

3. Get tons of nature items on CS. XD

*Pants* Yay! After *pants* taking over an hour *pants* to write this *pants*, I'm finally done!

XD! Honestly though, you two, those were some fun questions to answer, and I thank you both for tagging me! As for MY tags, I'm letting anyone who wants to answer these questions go right ahead! 

Psh, it's totally not because I don't keep track of who's done it and who hasn't. Nope.

Alright, well, I gotta go! Hope you all enjoyed this post, and I'll see you in the next one, where I'll hopefully post Chapter 3 of Larry The Bunny! (Sorry it's taking so long to release chapters!)

Remember to party hard, be kind, and jam on, you guys! YOU ROCK!

Young Swirl's Strangest Moments!

Me: *Tries to sneak in past you guys*

You Guys: *Turns around* SWIRL!

Me: *Stops and doesn't move*

You Guys: SWIRL, WE- er, what are you doing?

Me: Um... you... can't see me?

You Guys: No, um, preeetty sure we can see you.

Me: Darn.

You Guys: Anyways, as we were saying... SWIRL, GOODNESS, WHY DID IT TAKE YOU THIS LONG TO ACTUALLY POST AGAIN?!

Me: Eheheheh...

Yeah, uh, sorry about that! I had quite a bit of stuff to do last week, and I've also just been kinda out of ideas lately.

But hey, guess what- it's a 5-day-weekend for me! It started on Thursday, but, uh, yeah! 

So POSTING TIME! XD!

First off, I suppose I'll start with showing you this Masterpiece I've been working on!

I know a couple of you know what this is, but for those of you that have no idea, this type of Masterpiece is called a Friendship Quilt! The original idea was made by Ocean8Froggy- basically, you design a Masterpiece that looks like a quilt, and all of them include borders with patterns, stitched hearts in the corners, your main animal and pet in the center, and your animal's paw prints in the top center with stitch marks around them too! The rest, like the colors and patterns, are entirely up to whoever makes it! A couple of us bloggers thought this was a great idea, so we went ahead and started making our own versions!

And, as you can see, that one up there is how mine looks so far! I have to say, I'm very proud of how my wolf turned out, and I even made it my new Blogger profile picture, as some of you may have already noticed, XD!

And, if anyone's wondering about the pattern I started on the right border, it's going to be an Owl City themed border, filled with music notes and pictures of things that were mentioned in Owl City songs! The wing is from Up All Night (although now that I think about it, it'd work better with On The Wing, XD!), the bug is from Fireflies, and the flower is from Plant Life (although he mentions flowers in plenty of his songs, XD!) Gonna add more soon!

Okay- now that we've gotten past that, how about we do something I've been wanting to do for a while now?

I'm going to be looking back at... *lowers voice to a whisper* 

Cringey beginner-blogger Swirl.

Know how I always say that you guys should NEVER look back at my super-old posts? This is the one time I'm encouraging it. XDD!

*Rubs hands together* Alright then! Prepare yourself!

By the way, the red underlined/circled/boxed parts in each picture are the parts I'm going to be referring to! 

 First off, seems Young Swirl was VERY excited to figure out the owl puzzle!
However, I'm not sure she thought about if OTHER people had figured it out on their own.
Favorite part: "YES FOLKS< (oops, that was a typo, haha!) YOU HEARD IT RIGHT!"
XDD!

 Okay, so in this one, Young Swirl seemed to realize "Oh, these are owls- they don't have hands!", so she decided that saying "out of wing" would be better.
*Facepalms and laughs*
I... I don't know what I was thinking in this. 😅

 *Cracks up*
Safer Internet Items? How on Earth would AJHQ make something like that?!
What items did I think would be released- a "Safer Internet Table" and "Safer Internet Chair" or something?
I need to draw this, guys. I need to make up and draw some "Safer Internet items".
XDDD!

 #1. Oh yes, that Heart Tree was TOTALLY Beta, wasn't it? Mhm, absolutely- the most Beta item of them all! *Nods*
#2. *Tries to keep from laughing*
I... *snickers* I'm pretty sure they've been to Aldan before, Young Swirl.

*Reads the red underlines part*
*Tilts head*
First... I think I spelled it "shirits". XDD!
And second, XD, it, uh, seems I was REALLY worried about sounding mean. I mean, it's a true fact, I guess- I apparently DID end up trading those shirts away for "Betas", but I guess I figured it sounding like scamming. Oops, ehehe!

 #1. OOHH NOOO, WE MUST ALL TAKE COVER!!
XD, I was such an odd child
#2. ACK NO DON'T DO PUNSSSS!! XD!

 WOW.
THAT WAS AN AMAZING APRIL FOOLS JOKE.
I'M SURE EVERYONE WAS ABSOLUTELY FOOLED.
XDD!

 #1. Wow, XD.
And it seems I loved to use "LOL" back then, huh?
#2. "Poo."
Great job- absolutely the best wording you could've used, Young Swirl.
*Shakes head* I'm so confused at how I changed so much, guys. XDD!

 *Gasps sarcastically* WHAT?! AJHQ WORKERS?! WHERE DID YOU COME UP WITH THAT IDEA- THAT'S JUST CRAZY!
Yeah, um... Young Swirl wasn't exactly the smartest. XDD!

 Aaand just like that, its popularity immediately died... eheheh...
I guess I just really liked bouncy houses back then or something? *Shrugs* XD!

 O.O
*Facepalms*

*GASP*

LOOK YOU GUYS!!!

THIS IS WHERE IT ALL STARTED!!

THIS IS HOW WE ENDED UP WITH THE VERY-ODD TRADITIONAL SWIRLSHINE INTRO WE HAVE TODAY!! :O

The original one, uh, wasn't very good though. XDD!

Aaaaanyways, that's all I've got for now! It's, uh, really late now... XD!

Until next time, remember to party hard, be kind, and jam on, and I'll see you guys later! 

*Salutes* XDD!

Some More Screenshots Of Odd Things In AJ

Me: *Walks in nervously* Hiii?
You Guys: OH MY GOSH SWIRL IS THAT YOU?!
Me: Er... yeah?
You Guys: YOU HAVEN'T POSTED IN FOREVER- WE BARELY RECOGNIZED YOU!!!
Me: Yeah, about that-
You Guys: NO
Me: What?
You Guys: NO EXCUSES
Me: But I-
You Guys *Shoves computer closer to me* JUST WRITE THE POST RIGHT NOW.
Me: ...Okay?

XD- welp, now you guys KNOW I'm back, thanks to that traditional intro!


Anywho, before we get started, I just want to say, I am VERY sorry for being quiet in the community lately, and on this blog! I've been wanting to post, but I really haven't been feeling the best this week.
Well, okay, on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, I didn't feel good. My excuse for Thursday is that I just really wasn't in the mood, and I figured I didn't have enough time on the computer to make one anyway.
But oh boy, have I got some weird pictures to show you today! XD!
Anyways, let's get started before this intro gets super long and boring... XDD!

Today, I'm gonna be finally showing some pictures I've been storing of odd things in AJ that I've noticed, or things I saw someone say, so get comfortable, because I find some VERY odd people and design-things! XD!

Yes... don't we all.
I  believe you, Elm Daisybrave, also have the Bad Grammar, though. XD!

I kid you not, a few days after January 1st, this was the party list at one point.
EVERY
SINGLE PARTY
IS EITHER THE NEW YEAR'S PARTY
OR A PET PARTY
MY GOODNESS, AJHQ- THAT'S GONNA GET BORING!

What was this from... OH!
I remember! That non-member wolf and the snow leopard were arguing about something when I spawned into the Township, and then they started insulting each other's outfit.
Yeah... it was odd.
But I find this funny because #1. It's a really bad insult, and #2. Apparently she's gonna be "blend". XDD!

I...
Just...
Don't ask. I don't know the answer.

Okay.
AM I THE ONLY ONE
WHO FINDS IT REALLY ANNOYING
THAT THE ANIMAL GRAPHICS ON THIS
ARE WAY TOO HUGE?!
I mean, just look at that deer by the Diamond Shop! It can't even fit through that tiny doorway!
Like, okay, I get they just did that so you could see them better... but it really annoys me.
Idk, I have an odd mind. XD!
Also... uh... Club Geoz is still there in this picture. Guess it's not very updated, XD!

So apparently, someone is arguing about people believing in Santa.
Aaaand another person is talking about private property stuff.
*Shrugs* I don't know. XD!

Ah, yes, the glorious sport of can-kicking is truly delightful indeed. *Nods*

XD! In all honestly, though, I, uh, have no idea why someone would randomly decide to say THIS, of all things.

So, we've got someone who might fall out of their chair, a roleplayer who "ended" everyone around them, someone screaming about super timing, and the same chair person claiming the chair they're falling out of is a bean bag chair.
*Shakes head* How do I find such people?
XDD!

Here's an odd glitch I found a while back with the Liza Alpha Armor on lemurs! When you hop, the wings completely fall to the right side! XD!

*Stares for a moment and laughs*
Sorry, I'm just imagining that person saying that in a very odd way. XDD!
But om, this is pretty funny, and it makes no sense at all. XDDD!

Did anyone else notice this when it was fall in Jamaa Township? The leaves are slightly transparent- you can see the curve of the wall-thingy through them!!

Goodness... what is going ON in this one?! XDD!

WE ARE HEROES
HEROES IN THE DAAAARKEST TIMES
WHEN THERE IIIS-
Oops, sorry, I'm, uh, listening to a song. XD!
Anyways, look who's back! It's Time Travel Bella, from... uh... a long-ish time ago!

To be honest... I have no idea why I decided on time travel. I don't understand why travelling through time would help someone be friends with everyone, unless "everyone" literally means EVERYONE who's ever lived on Earth. A normal portal would probably be more helpful than a time-travel one, eheheh.
But um... yeah! There's Time Travel Bella, from my cringey days as a...
Oh my gosh.
I was THAT cringey at 13?!
*Sighs* I apologize. That is not okay.
Don't look at my old posts, guys. Save your eyes.
XDD!
But anyways, Bella up there is... uh... odd. I don't think you want to be friends with EVERYONE, Bella. O.O



Aaand would you look at that! We've reached the end of the post! XD!
I hope you all enjoyed these random pictures, hehe! Sorry again for being so inactive!
Until next time, remember to party hard, be kind, and jam on, everyone!!
PEACE
LOVE
NINJAAAAAAAS! ;)
