Finally!

Chapter 21 is upppppppp!!!!

):l

Welp, homework didn't interfere, but... uh... taking a nap and then taking a shower did. I'll read over all of your ideas, and I'll try not to fall asleep tomorrow and post JM. I apologize. Gosh, I suck at being on time. *Bangs head against wall*






Oh, and on a completely unrelated note, I am now very annoyed that this home screen owl's constantly flapping wing has a line attached to it.

HELP

Guys, I tried to write Chapter 21 of JM... and I am SO stuck. I came up with a short paragraph or two... and after that, I'm just blank. Do you guys have any ideas that would link into the story well? Because I need ideas, I'm afraid I'll have to post JM tomorrow (unless homework gets in the way, but hopefully it won't, because I'll try to be fast). I hope that's okay! I truly did try to write it today, but of course, writer's block had to hit my brain NOW, of all times.


Please post any ideas down in the comments below! :)

B.M.M. (Blogger Meme Masterpieces)

LOOK AT WHAT I MADEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

This one I made yesterday, so it got approved...

...and I just finished and sent in this one!

I LOAF THEMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smilies and Creepy Pets!

Helloooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo*takes breath* oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo everyone!!!!!!

Oh gosh that looks so horrible and long. It bugs me for some reason.
Oh well, I'll have to ignore it.



Anyways, guess what's coming up very very soon?

S-U-M-M-E-R!!!!!

Man, am I excited for this summer! I'm gonna practice animating, go swimming a TON, chill out at home, draw, write, and, best of all... POST MORE OFTEN!!!
That's right! I'll be a lot more active during the summer! I'll also have more time to write and plan out stories without anything else on my mind, so also expect regular Icing And Friends episodes to be making a comeback! :D
Gosh though, I'm just glad school's almost over. Even though I still have finals.
But yeah. It's been quite a stressful year.







Oh yeah, I also feel the need to put somewhere in here that Caramel, Cookie's sister, died today. RIP. But hey, she gets to be reunited with her sister, so that's good news, since I think she got kinda depressed after she died.









Ooookay, let's move on to the... uh... post part. Of the post.



First off, I wanna say that I finished a new Masterpiece a few days ago! Stop by my den if you wanna see it! :D



Second, we now know that coyotes are coming to AJ. I wanted maned wolves, but hey, coyotes are cool too. At least I was correct this time! (GET ALL MEMORIES OF THE "OH, THE NEW ANIMAL IS A WOLVERINE!" THING OUT OF YOUR HEAD. NOW. *XD*)

Very... wolf-ish.
I actually just realized how similar they look to normal AJ wolves. But still, these guys look pretty cute! I'm excited to see their design!
Although here I am, STILL waiting for peacocks. (XD)




Ooh, yes, now for the best part!!!
Yesterday, a few of us, including Ja and Gracie, got together at my den and hung out. Somebody (I can't remember who, so... uh... somebody) came in with this HILARIOUS giraffe look:

Naturally, I had to try this. Turns out, all you really need is an Egyptian Beard! They work good on most animals, but beaks probably wouldn't work well, I've been told, so maybe don't try this on birds.
But yeah! All you need is one of these beards, and, if you want it to look even more convincing, add some Rabbit Teeth!
And there you go! A true SMILY!!
They are called Smilies. Forever and ever.

XD! Here we are taking a group picture. I bought another giraffe to put this look on, but I was using a llama at the time.

We are very pretty. XD!

BECOME A SMILY TODAY!!! 👍





Finally, an idea I just came up with 2 seconds ago!!! :P





Most people try to make their AJ pets cute or cool-looking, right? Well, this time around, I'm gonna TRY making the creepiest look I can on some of those pets! I have done this many times before, and let me tell you, it is actually quite fun, XD! I don't buy them, though. It's just fun to try!
So...um... I don't have anything else to ramble on about... so let's go!!!




Let's try... a pet duck!

I know those eyes are intended to look cute, but if you make a black-colored duck, they look almost like it's blind! Well, to me, anyway.
Dang, these guys are just too cute to be creepy.



How about a hamster next?

Oddly enough, these eyes are the creepiest to me on hamsters. Again, very hard to make creepy.




Okay, I'm just gonna scroll up and down the list with my eyes closed, click on a pet, and see which one it is.




*10 seconds later*


NO NOT A PHANTOM.



*10 more seconds later*


Alright! A cat!

This looks like a Sesame Street character.






Now for a snake!

Dun dun...dun?





Let's try something that can ACTUALLY be creepy now!

That's better!






A monkey:

*Gasp* A monkey with rectangle eyes and no ears!? Man, Swirl sure is scary! :1




Now for a very red lemur.

Oh noes, he looks like he's plotting something!

A supposedly "zombie-fied" piggy:

Eh... kinda a fail here.

But here's a REAL zombie!!!

Oooooohh yes!

A scary fox:

Look at those evil eyes. Okay... so they're not technically always used as evil eyes... but whatever.

And finally, one of the creepiest looks of all, on none other than a polar bear!

THE.

NOSE.
ANNOYS.

ME.

SO.
MUCH.

WIPE YOUR NOOSSEEE BEAR!

Eh... the hyena still wins.

Okay, well, I suppose that's all I've got for today, everyone!!! I'll see you all on Sunday, or maybe sooner, if I catch you on AJ! Until we do meet again, remember to PARTY HARD, BE KIND, and JAM ON!!!!!

Chapter 20 Is Now Up!

Hey, guys! Very sorry about posting JM so late! Everything got messed up on Sunday, as I told you in that mini post, and I fell asleep until, like, 12:00 at night on Monday and Tuesday. I'mma tired little banana... :P

But it's here now, and OH MY GOODNESS, is it long!!!
Seriously, guys. It's VERY long.
However, there's a lot of action, and I think that this might be my favorite chapter I've written (I think it even beat out Chapter 14, and that's saying something, because I love that chapter)!
Oh, yeah! A new character has also been introduced!

I really hope you guys enjoy this chapter! It took me quite a while to write, but I think it was worth the effort! More coming soon! 😉

Yikes, guys! I might be behind on posting JM this week! Everything kinda got thrown off track a bit today in my house. I might not be able to post the next chapter until tomorrow. We'll see what happens, though.

An Animal-Jam-Related Post

Heyo! Man, it feels good to be back with a normal post! I wish homework hadn't taken up so much of my time this school year, otherwise, I'd totally have posted more.
If we're being completely honest here... I honestly wish I could spend as much time with you guys as my friends in real life. I dunno what it is, I just feel more... connected to you guys.

*Slaps self*
Stick to the PLAN, Swirl! This is not one of THOSE posts!

Okay, so, anyways... lately, with the homework piles getting smaller, I've had more time to get on AJ, and let me just say, our little game is getting to be EPIC!!! I know that statement is late (no, I haven't been away from AJ for a very long time), but it's true! I mean, we can now have 1000 clothing items, 1000 den items, 1000 buddies, and even 1000 animals! Man, I dunno how AJH keeps up with it all.

As you can see below, since the "1000 animals" feature came out, I've been rapidly buying up duplicates of the animals I already have...

Oh. Well, now that I look at it, only the first 3 animals are new... but I'll buy more in the future! You get the idea!

I've also been making a new phantom-themed den, which was inspired by the new adventure, and all of the cool items you get from it!

Oh yeah, and I also made a phantom look to go with it.

And let me just say, I am LOVING this Phantom Portal!!

Know what it reminds me of?

THE BLOGGER PORTAL!!!

Okay, so the Blogger Portal is green and... not so... dark... but-

Wait a minute! I just realized- the Blogger Portal DOES look dark! At least, at this point in the story!

Whatever, though. I still think it's a second-best Blogger Portal. :D

Okay, enough of my new-update-obsession. What else is new on AJ?

Hmm...

Well, Top Hats returned for Hatapalooza, something that I bet all those Aldaners are raging and ranting over. I personally don't care how rare they are. I bought every color. :P

I've also made some new Masterpieces over the past few months. I suppose I won't show all of them (you can go to my den if you wanna see that), but here's one of my favorites that I've made so far:

You wouldn't believe how much time I took trying to make those letters decently perfect (does that make sense?). It's a quote from a song called "Do Or Die", by 30 Seconds To Mars.

Okay, so... I'm blabbering now.

Ooh! I know! How about we talk about the upcoming animal?

So, as you all have probably seen and heard, there's gonna be ANOTHER new animal coming soon! The clue they gave us was this rock:

I immediately noticed that the letters spelled "Canidae". and, according to... well, the Internet, Canidae is a biological family that includes species like wolves, foxes, and jackals. 

We already have wolves and foxes though. Hyenas Cougars are out, too. So what does that leave us with?

Well, I'm not exactly sure. However, coyotes, dingos, and even maned wolves can't be ruled out, so it's possible we might get one of these wild dog relatives. I personally want a maned wolf. I mean, look at them!

Aren't they pretty? :D

All I really know for sure is that we'll 99% be getting some kind of wild dog. *Cheers quietly* Go maned wolves! Go maned wolves!

Well, to end my very, very... very odd post... how about a few funny pictures?

People still seem to love hiding behind the tree at the Pets-Only Party and pretending that it's talking. This one says it's smelly, though... and I have no idea why. XD!

Someone just walked by me in the Township a day or two ago and said this. I don't know, my friend. What IS life?

I got this JAG, and I was... so confused. Does anyone have ANY IDEA WHAT THIS MEANS!!??

I'm sorry, I had to post this, XD! This right here is a VERY creative username! 

Literally right after I found Foxfoxfoxfoxfoxfox, I found this guy. Kiddosneakybeaky. Man, I spawned in a weird Township! XD!

Okay. Well, guys, that's pretty much it for this post. I don't truly know if you guys consider this a short post or not, but if it is one, I apologize. I wasn't exactly prepared, as you may have noticed, so that resulted in a probably-boring post. I do feel I need more AJ-related content on here, though, so if I find anything else interesting, I'll try to post about it as soon as possible.

Guess that's it, then. Until next time, remember to PARTY HARD, BELIEVE IN THE BLOGGER PORTAL (hehe), and JAM ON!!!

Lost's Beautiful Art

Let's all take a moment to applaud Lost for this awesome piece of art.

I.

LOVE.

IT.

P.S. This was not ever intended to be a real, longer post. That's coming tomorrow, hopefully. :)

A REAL Post

Me: Hello, everyone! So-

You Guys: Swirl?

Me: Um... yes?

You Guys: WHERE. ON. EARTH. HAVE. YOU. BEEN!!?? And what about Jamaasian Middle?

Me: I-

You Guys: Wait, you know what? THROW SWIRL IN THE BLOGGER JAIL!!!

Me: WAIT, WHAT!?

You Guys: *Throws in jail cell* Don't come out until you've written the next chapter of JM!!!

XD! Hopefully you guys will let me outta there, once I've finished with this part of my post.

So...

There's no doubt you've probably all noticed that JM was not posted until today (yes, the next chapter is up now, yay!). I actually have a very good reason, or, actually, reasonS, for not posting, and I'll tell you them right now.

Okay. Let's start with Monday, since I, uh, can't remember what really happened on Sunday...

Monday, I was gonna make the post. But then, hooray hooray, I had HOMEWORK to deal with. By the time I got on the computer, it was really late, and I wasn't going to have much time to post, anyway. 

Oh, that's right! I also had to run 2 miles on Monday, and let me tell you: IT WAS HORRIBLE!!! I was getting to the point where I couldn't breathe well anymore! And ohh man, was I getting mad.

But anyway, I was planning on posting Tuesday.

Tuesday is when it all got off track, though. After I had been home for a while, I got sick. Yippee. I was going to get on the computer, but I decided I'd much rather lay down instead.

Wednesday, I had to stay home from school, because I was still sick-ish. I lay in bed from the time school started to the end of it, because it literally made me feel worse when I stood up. So... yeah.

Thursday, I had to catch up on my schoolwork, and... uh... something else came up, too, although I'm not sure what.

Friday, I thought, "Finally, I can make that post!" But then, of COURSE, I began to feel really bad again, although not in the same way as before. I didn't even want to eat!

So I got home, fell asleep, didn't wake up until very early in the morning, and then went back to bed again.

Saturday..., well... I didn't really think there was much point, or that I could come up with 2 entries of JM in two days.

And so here we are now.

So there's my week for ya. Pretty chaotic. :1

I'm feeling better now, though, so don't worry! Hopefully, I'll be okay now!

I better get on with the post, since my mom wants me off soon.

Okay, so, a while back, Lostfairy tagged me in a little tag on her blog, called the One Lovely Blog Award tag. Believe me, I read that post, and I've actually been planning a reply-tag-thingy for a while now. I've just never had time.

However, I do now, so let's DO THIS THING!!!

Okay, so, I'm supposed to share 7 facts about myself. That's just what I'm gonna do! Hopefully, you all learn something new about me today! Enjoy my facts! :D

#1. I love acting crazy around complete strangers.

Okay, I know that sounds weird, but I'll explain that here.

Despite my introverted personality, I actually love being random and silly in public. So, sometimes, I say or do something in the car at a drive-through window or whatever, something that's VERY random. For example, once, at a drive-through window, I told the person giving us our food "Don't stop believin'!" XD!

My rule is, you can be weird around strangers, because you'll most likely never see them again in your life! XD!

#2. I actually want to discover portals.

I'm not kidding! I think they're out there somewhere, and we just have to find them! I'd really like to be the one to discover or create the first portal or something (although I think the logic on that's a bit iffy,...), but I don't exactly want to be a scientist or anything, so... dunno how that'll work out.

You can see how much I love the Blogger Portal idea, though.

#3. I have lots of "private" drawings.

Most of my drawings are "private", which means I don't let anyone see them, not even my friends and family. They're just personal to me... even though most of them involve cats.

#4. I have asthma. 

 Not exactly a positive fact or anything, but it's true. And because of this... I. HATE. RUNNING. I truly CANNOT run my fastest. If I do, my breathing gets really loud, and I feel sick, and... it's just not good. In fact, on Monday, when we ran the 2 miles in athletics, there was a time when, for maybe 10 seconds, I had to stop, because I couldn't gasp in enough air. Believe me, if I could rid myself of this problem, I would in a heartbeat.

#5. I HATE when people talk to me during movies.

Okay, so if it's a question or whatever, sure, I can live with that. But when people try to have a conversation with or make a face at me DURING a movie, I get very annoyed. On the inside, though. I can't exactly show it, otherwise... it just wouldn't turn out well. I definitely don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

#6.  I'm going to try and learn how to animate this summer.

I love watching Warrior Cats animations, and I want to make some, too! So, this summer, I'm going to focus on learning how to draw, and then animate, some funky warrior kitties! XD!

In fact, I'm going to make animations the main focus of my YouTube channel, which will ALSO be coming this summer! Stay tuned, my friends! ;P

#7. I normally have to make my AJ animals' colors match their clothing.

It;s just kinda a OCD trait of mine. They NEED. TO. MATCH. THE. CLOTHES. Well, most of the time. If I'm not following that rule, I pick the colors first, then go through all my clothing items to find things that look good. Sometimes, they look so good that I end up never changing that animal's look... XD!

There you have it, my friends! Everything seems to be in order now! JM is out, the post is finished, the tag is finally done... whew! Glad I got that straightened out!

Well, sadly, I have to go now. I have school tomorrow (although you'll all be seeing this Monday or later).

I hope I can post again later this week! Until then, remember to PARTY HARD, BE YOU, and JAM ON, EVERYONEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

Welcome back, Swirl siggy. :)
