A Very Picture-y Post

Hello guys! Whew! I was planning on just saying I'd post tomorrow, but hey, why not show a few pictures today, right? I've been meaning to post them, anyway!
*Swirl totally wastes no time on an intro and just jumps directly into the post*


First off, here are 2 odd things that I found one day while I was playing AJ at school.

If you guys have seen Julian2's video about real-life art being imported as Masterpieces, then good! You don't need it explained!
If you haven't, I'll tell ya anyway.
Basically, Julian2 made a video a few weeks ago, saying that some Masterpieces were being approved that are either inappropriate... or not Masterpieces at all. Apparently, some people have found a way to take real, pencil-drawn art, and make it into digital Animal Jam art. It's a hack, of course, though. If you look closely on the one picture he shows in the video, it actually does seem to have eraser marks and fold lines on it.

Anyways, I saw this one, and I literally have no idea if it's ACTUALLY digital or not.
*Squints closely*
Hmmm... well... some it it looks digital... and some of it doesn't.
Idk.

Also, I spawned in... er... Adirondack? Is that even a real world? I've never seen it on the world list (although it's not like I looked super hard). Hmm...



Next up, here's my fluffy little arctic wolf stuffed animal, which my grandma gave me a few weeks ago!

IT'S. SO. FLUFFY.
Because of that, I call it Fozz (my little joke-word, which means fuzz, basically)! XD!



Okay, now, how about some art? I've been dying to post these pictures for a while now! Sorry this post is randomly skipping around, but I have a lot of pictures. XD!

*Sigh* I wish my computer (and Google Drive) would remember that I ROTATED these pictures before I saved them.

Anyway, this is one of my arctic wolves. I really wanted a Sombrero on AJ, and when I finally got one, my sis and I decided to make matching looks with them. We're the SOMBRERO BROS! XD!

Also, in case you were wondering, that red line is from the time I was working on this, and my friend accidentally drew on it with a red marker.
It really annoys me, being the only colorful (and non-belonging) thing in the picture, but I'll have to live with it.

You'll get this one, Kraft! It's you as your cat (the cat I named after you) in Bread Kittens*! I also put a lil' AJ pet chicken with some poofy hair on your back, XD!
The bread on the cat I named Kraft looks different now but I'm not changing this, so yeah. XD!

*Bread Kittens- An app that's kind of like Pokemon. It involves battling and "breading" (catching) different breeds of cats. It's actually really fun!

And here's one more Bread Kittens piece, of my Cheetoh, Speckle! If I look too closely, I get really annoyed at the way the front legs and chest coordinate, so I won't look too closely, because I like the rest of it. XD!

Yes, it is wearing a waffle on its head. You can do that on Bread Kittens, trust me.

Obviously, you can see that one of these wolves is Greely. The other wolf is from a Greely-related fanfiction I'm writing. I'll probably post it on this blog one day.
Despite the fact that I overdid the "flecks" on Fleck's fur, I'm very proud of this picture. :D

 This is a picture I drew in class... last year, I think? Sometime in 6th grade. I'm pretty sure I just gave up on it because I didn't really like it. It was supposed to be a creepy Fman, but I think, after seeing that... er... odd smile I drew, that I just gave up before even drawing his fur design.
I don't like this picture, AT ALL, but I liked the idea. So, I decided to redraw this piece of art. And...

...here is the result! I'm quite happy with this one!
THOSE WORDS TOOK ME FOREVER!
Seriously, though. I looked up a Jam-A-Gram picture to see the font JAG messages are in, and I copied it. For only 5 words, it took up a lot of time!




Oh! I almost forgot this!

OKAY OKAY! THIS IS THE LAST BREAD KITTENS PICTURE, I PROMISE!

Kraft will get this for sure. Everyone else... NO SPOILERS FOR CHUUU! ):D




Last on the list... the pictures I took on my trip!
These are all pictures of the nature we passed as we were driving home. I couldn't get any at the actual camp, because:
#1. That would involve showing people's faces, and I don't have permission to do that...
And #2. I wasn't even allowed to have my phone 98% of the time.

Sorry about that! I hope you enjoy these pictures, though! :)

 I took all of those pictures ↑ up there while I was in the car. That's why most of them have the road and all that... XD!
The camp was in the hill country, so we had a lot of cool hills and valleys to look at (and obsessively take pictures of... eheheh...) along the way. Man, I wish I could climb to the top of one of those hills and just look out over the land. Now THAT'D be cool!

Hm. Well, I had, like, two more... but I guess they didn't download. Oh well, they weren't super important or anything!

These pictures were taken at a park my church group always stops at on the way home. We always get burgers before we drive the last 45 minutes, hehe! There are a LOT of ducks and geese there, so naturally, I had to take pictures. XD! Plus, the nature is really pretty, especially in the first picture (in my opinion)!

Looks like that's all the pictures I have! Thank you for letting me FINALLY post those pictures sitting in Google Drive, XD!

*Drops macaroni I'm eating while posting this off of fork*

NOOOOOO NOT ON MY COMPUTER!!!!!

*1 minute later*

Okay, fixed that. Sorry.

XD!

Anyways, despite its randomness, I do hope you all enjoyed this post! I'll be posting a lot this week (hopefully), so stay tuned! Until next time, this is Swirl, signing off! Remember to PARTY HARD, BE KIND, and JAM ON! 😉

*Angrily clicks on mousepad, wishing the signature picture would load*

*5 minutes later*

ARGGGG NEVERMIND!!! THE WIFI IS BEING RUDE!!!!

Chapter 24

Alrighty guys! The new chapter of JM is now up! I decided to make these next few chapters based off my camp visit. Don't worry, though! You guys will still be in them! :D





Eeek, I feel kinda-sorta self-conscious about this chapter. I dunno why.

HI AGAIN!

Hello hello HELLOOOOOOO everyone! Guess what?

I'M OFFICIALLY BACK FROM CAMP!!!

Man, I seriously wanna give all you guys a hug right now (XDD)! I missed you guys so much! It feels great to be posting again!


Church camp was super fun! I made new friend, learned a lot, and got a lot of freedom, since we could basically go wherever we wanted in the camp during our free time.
Truthfully, the only major thing that I didn't like was the fact that this girl I met turned out to be VERY clingy. It was hard to get any alone time, which I need, due to the fact that I'm an extreme introvert. Hehe. Long story short, it was a long week.
Other than that, though, I basically loved it all!

Anyways, I am now officially free, because IT'S SUMMER VACATION!!! WOOOOOOO!!!
Man, this is gonna be an EPIC summer, you guys! I'll be adding things to the blog, posting more, trying some new things, and who knows what else? You'll just have to see. 😏


Anyway, I'll be making, hopefully, a normal post tomorrow, along with the next chapter of JM. Stay tuned, everyone, and I'll see you very soon!

P.S. Ah! Gfox, I'm so sorry I forgot to post this on Sunday! Here's your birthday art! 

Hope you like it! Ugh, sorry, I can't figure out how to rotate it! My computer's not cooperating with me today. ):1

Also, for those of you who asked (and I'm sorry this took so long), here's a picture of Caramel. :)

Just So Ya Know

Hello! Chapter 23 of JM is now up, so you guys may read it whenever you wish! :D

Also, just a reminder, I'll be at a sleepover tomorrow (Saturday), so I won't be active on AJ! You can still post comments and such, but just don't expect me to approve them and reply back until Sunday! See you guys later! *Waves*











P.S.

Haha. 1 person thinks the story stinks. XD!

Leaving

Hello everyone! No, the title does NOT mean that I'm leaving AJ or the blogging community! I'll probably never leave those 2 things... XD!

Anyways, this is a short little post-thing that explains why I'll be gone for a while.

This upcoming Monday, I will be leaving to go to the camp I visit every summer. I'm not allowed to use electronics there, so that's why I won't be posting or even going on AJ for a while. However, it's not for a month or anything! I'll only be gone 6 days, meaning I'll be back before I even miss the deadline for JM! 

I WILL be at a sleepover this Saturday, though. Just informing ya. :)

But yeah. Anyways, I won't be gone long! All I ask is that you don't get scared when you can't get ahold of me for a while, XD!

Also...

NO MAKING ANY MORE BLOGGER MEMES WITHOUT ME!

XD!

Seriously, though. I need to stay caught up with all the inside jokes. XD!

Oh, one more thing! Since I'll be gone Saturday and packing Sunday, I'll be posting JM tomorrow so that you all will have a chapter to enjoy this week. :D

See you guys later! (BTW, I will make a quick little post that says something like "I'm leaving now" or whatever on Monday, just so you all know. I will be active tomorrow, though.)

P.S.  JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

YEY I WAS ON SCHEDULE AND SO THAT MEANS CHAPTER 22 IS UP!!!!

The Weirdest Visit To Sarepia EVER.

Me: Hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi hi-

You Guys: SWIRL!

Me: Yeeeeeesssss?

You Guys: Why on earth are you so hyper?

Me: I'M NOT HYPER!!! *Bounces off walls*

You Guys: Yeah, pretty sure you are.

Me: Oh... yeah, I guess.

You Guys: So... why?

Me: Um... uh... ummmmmm... I dunno.

You Guys: *Facepalm*

Now wasn't that better than a boring old "hello" intro? 

Don't answer that question.

Anyways, I have returned, and I AM hyper... on the inside... and I have no idea why.

I would say it's because I'm finally proud of Chapter 21 of JM... but I'm not even sure if that's the complete reason.

Oh well! :P

Okay, so, if you read the title, you should know what this post is about.

Yep. The weirdest Sarepia Forest visit E-V-E-R.

Now, some of you may be thinking, "Swirl, we've all seen plenty of weird stuff happen in that forest. I doubt your visit was the absolute weirdest!"

That's where you are wrong.

Okay so probably none of you said that, but it's... um... *Can't say expression because it's not technically one*

Uh... I dunno. It's just an intro thingy.

Okay, so, yesterday, I went to Aldan (don't judge me, I don't normally go there), and, since I accidentally went into Jam Mart Clothing and couldn't get back into the Township (Aldan struggles), I decided to go to Sarepia Forest.

I actually didn't expect people to be there, since the last few times I've visited Sarepia, it's been completely empty.

Guess that was just because of how late it was or something, though. Because this time, it was PACKED.

And man, you wouldn't believe how many times I cracked up in the short time I was there.

To prove how hilariously chaotic and random it was there, I took a bazillion screenshots for you guys. YAAAAAAAAAAYYY! l:1

*WARNING: If you hate long posts... uh... don't read this.

 I love how they made 0, 014 a number. I know they probably were just using the comma as a period, but I still find it pretty funny that they they ate something in zero-thousand, zero-hundred and 14 seconds!

 That's an... interesting way to play a drum.
It might work, actually.
I'm gonna try.
*Bangs head down on a drum*
OWWWWWWW!!! OKAY NEVER MIND!!!

 #1. Coyote band? What on earth is that?
Unless...
*Looks it up*
Oh. Okay, so a group of coyotes CAN be called a band.
Ignore #1.

#2. First off, if you're being so "silent", why are you narrating it?
And second, don't you normally keep "creatures" away by making some loud noise to scare them off or something?

 #1. Yes. Yes they do.

#2. Er... a... rock... buddied you?
These people were pretending someone was a rock, I think. Not for a minute or two, though. THE WHOLE TIME I WAS THERE.

 Yeah, sure, why not? Now, when someone asks you that question, just eat a rock. Man, Aldaners are so smart! l:1

 O.. kay...

 Okay, I found this typo (at least, I think it was a typo) to be pretty hilarious! She's apparently eating the squirrel... while she's eating it?
Or does it mean that she ate the squirrel, and the squirrel was eating something before she ate it?
The world may never know.

 Why? I wonder that myself.

 I. Love. This. "Epic goat screaming'... XDD!

 Oh YEAH!
*Begins playing electric guitar very loudly*
Wait, I can't play electric guitar...
*Puts on electric guitar music*

 I don't know why, but the fact that she had to justify that she was looking into the fire's flames was really funny to me.
Pretty sure we all know fires have flames.

 No you don't! I CALLS BANJO!!!!!
*Shoves person out of the way and grabs banjo*

 #1. Um... yeah... I guess it is...

#2. XDD, YESSSS!!!
JUST... YEESSSSSSSS!!!!! XDDDDDDD!

 This person felt the need to point out that they just... er... "glitched".

 #1. ARE THEY THOUGH?

#2. O.O
Good for you?

 Okay... I know that this was probably a very practical roleplayer thing to do, but... what kind of person just grabs someone and runs?

 #1. See, everyone? This poor, lonely girl needs a friend!

#2. I'm sorry about that.

 Yes. Yes you do. *Walks away*
*Comes back 2 seconds later*
I'LL BE YOUR FRIEND WITH NO FRIENDS!!!

 *Claps* well, good for you!

 Oh. Um... okay then.

 I'm wondering if these are song lyrics, and they probably are, but I love this comment anyway! XD!

 #1. I think this was one of the comments I cracked up at the most!
". Inhales kazoo . "
Why... I... but... how...?
*Facepalms while cracking up*

#2. I don't know, but I want one!

 How exactly do you "like"/lick the INSIDE of a nose?

 And NOW she's "liking"/licking someone... with thin plastic?

 This bunny stood there, motionless, silent, for, like, half the time I was there.
When she finally did speak, she said this. ↑
*Facepalms*
This is going to make a very odd, powerplay-y, and magical creature-y roleplay.

 Ohhh man, I just LOVE this!
Apparently, this person's "mask mark" is trying to speak to someone. Literally.

 #1. I'm sorry to say this... but... no one does that to a rock, my friend.

#2. I...
Um...
...Okay...

 Ah, yes. This is how you properly die in a roleplay. Totally how.
I get the feeling that this person just REALLY wanted to be done roleplaying and leave.

 THIS. IS. MY. FAVORITE. ONE.

THERE IS LITERALLY NOTHING MORE TO SAY!!!

😂😂😂😂😂

 #1. Okay... random. Also, what does a "robotic cough" sound like?

#2. Someone... looks... like Halloween?
I think I know what they were trying to say, but I find how they worded it hilarious!

"--cries with non existant eyeballs--"

 2nd favorite! I believe it's by the same person who claimed he/she had "no eyes, mouth, or nose"
Also, "throws them in fire".
And THAT, my friends, is how you deal with your problems.

 #1. Er... corrupted jasper?

#2. Okay, this is definitely tied with my 2nd favorite!

😂😂😂😂😂

 O.O

 #1. YAY, ROCK TOPPINGS FOR EVERYONE!!!
Do you see how obsessive these people are over rocks now? Told you.

#2. Erm... why is identifying a cow intelligent?

 YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 Why would you burn something like that!? And then throw it!?

 I didn't catch this person's entire comment, but I saw this at the top of the recent chat list.

 But... you just said it was a coyote...

 *Cracks up again*
OH BOY, WILL I HAVE FUN ANNOYING MY FAMILY BY CONSTANTLY SAYING THIS!!!

 Ah, yes, this is from the "rolls into it like a burrito" person. Because of her love of burritos, and because I respect that, I tried to buddy her, but I think it said her list was full or she couldn't or something.
I would've liked a burrito buddy... *sigh*

 What's a "bos"?

 There is so much going on here, I... just... oh gosh.

I love how that person just decided to "end all people" as they each did their own roleplays. That seems very logical. l:1

Audits.

*Facepalms once more*

Sometimes I really hate Warriors roleplayers.

So, basically, I walked into a very weird room. VERY weird. I was literally only in there for, like, 7 minutes, and I took all these screenshots.

Anyways, thank you guys so much for reading this post (if you made it this far)! I will see you tomorrow for a new chapter of JM! As always, remember to party hard, be kind, and, of course, JAM ON!!!

*Squeals Happily*

IT'S DONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!

The new, revised, and pretty darn cool (in my opinion) version of Chapter 21 is now up!!!



*Checks time*


I think I worked on it for two hours.



Oh gosh.









Well, anyways, I really, REALLY hope you guys enjoy it! I'm very pleased with this version, and I think the 2 hours I spent on this (eheh eheh... yeah) were really worth it! Tell me what you think once you read it! :D

I Need To Revise JM.

Honestly, I just hate the part where the portal is covered. It just seems like a really... um... unrealistic way to get rid of it. How else is someone who's never seen a portal before going to keep it sealed off, though?
I can't even answer that question, but there HAS to be another way. I hate how I wrote that part so much, and when I hate something I've written, I can't stop thinking about it until it's been fixed.
I know I literally just asked you guys for help, but I need it again. Do you guys have any ideas (that are better than my rushed one) for how the Blogger Portal is "gotten rid of" in that chapter?








Please give me something, I am cringing on the insiddddddeeeeeee!!!!
