Let's Not Leave Anyone Out!

Hey guys, today I'm gonna talk just a little about a topic that needs to be brought up.

Some of my friends have noticed that they have been excluded in many different things. Stories, pictures, edits, etc. I KNOW you can't add EVERYONE in those kinds of things because, believe me, it's hard to get all the AJ bloggers in one picture or edit. It'd get super crowded. XD

But I have noticed this too. Some bloggers have felt excluded, without us even knowing. I just want them to know they are a big part of this community, no matter what.

I won't name names but just try to draw some pictures with some of these bloggers. Get to know them! Comment on their blogs or hang out with them online.

Now, this is not to make you feel guilty. We all sometimes make mistakes, it's a fact of life. But I just felt the need to bring this up. :)

Everyone in this community is equal. There are no 'leaders.' There are no 'smaller' bloggers.

We are the AJ blogging community! We have each others backs. Let's not forget that. ^-^

Okay, enough being serious. XD If you haven't read my Jumble of Photos post, just scroll down to read it. ^.^

A Jumble of Photos!

Hellooooo, my jammin' jammers of the jammin' game full of animals in jam!

That made no sense but hey, that's how it is with AJ bloggers. We have weird intros. XD

Today's post is gonna be full of randomness. I have gathered lots and lots of random pictures that are just plain weird and I wanted to show you some of them. (Thanks, Swirl, for the idea. XD)

With that being said, sit back and enjoy these kooky pictures! ^.^

Warning! This post is quite long and contains lots of craziness. If this scares you, you don't have to continue. Warning!

- - -

A dog mother?! Apparently, they didn't want someone as their 'dog mother.' Alrighty then. XD

They snuck out of school? o.o

Good to know? XD

This is just plain wrong.... o,o *shakes head* Why is that even a user?

That is an interesting way to advertise. I guess it's so people will come to see what's the 'worst party.' Also, you gotta love that creepy wolf face in the background. XD

Ack! There's me! But yet, it's not me... And there's Gracie! But not... XD

That is the longest username ever. Plus, there's a weird glitch. XD I didn't know you could do that glitch with two items.

That moment when you walk in on two friends having an argument... o,O





I literally don't know what to say about this one...

I really don't like this glitch. It added weird ear tuffs to my penguin when I place her in my den! Whyyyyy? XD

What a grumpy squirrel. :P

I love this masterpiece! For one, it's a funny pun. Second, I love koalas. XD

This is a very odd penguin... XD

I find this whole picture funny, actually. First of all, the username is funny. Second, I'm a little non-member turkey penguin! XD *checks date of when I took the picture* October 13th, 2015 at 8:59AM. I was a newbie then! :P

Ah, I remember this time. I was just randomly in Wisteria's den when one person saw me and knew about me. Then everyone was acting like I was famous, when I truly am not. XD It was so funny seeing people also say, "Who's Lostfairy?!" but they still asked for autographs. XD

Good times, good times... :P

Um, ok? Glad to hear that! XD

Oh my... I don't know if I would be brave enough to say that in Jamaa Township. XD

Pokémon Thor? I didn't know Norse Thor was a Pokémon you could catch. Gotta catch them all, I guess. :P

This is a beautiful drawing of Peck and Cosmo. XD

He does look pretty evil... And his henchman is coming up behind me... XD

Ha, very funny. XD *randomly looks when the picture was taken* February 22nd, 2016. Wowie. XD

Ah, breaking the bridge... I haven't done that in a long while. :P

Again, this whole thing is creepy. First, that owl is just creepy, second, that red and black wolf is creepy too, third, that monkey is just so WEIRD, and forth, WHY IS THERE TWO ANIMALS ON TOP OF EACH OTHER?! XD

I used to get this glitch all the time. I remember it happened a lot in January, 2016.

I found the twin of the other penguin! :o Also, someone is singing about love? XD

Creepy new jammer. XD Also, why do I find me being a non-member so funny? I guess it's because it brings back old memories. :P

Hehe, that purple cat is keeping an eye on that angry cat. And also...

WHAT AM I WEARING?

Or more like, what am I NOT wearing! *laughs* That's too funny! XD

I one time randomly made an Aparri pig. :P

I know they mean everyBODY but this is funnier. XDD

Why would you wake up and dab? I don't get that. XD

This is a drawing Flora Cutegirl did of some of her buddies. I love it a lot and not because I'm on there. I just love the whole style of it.

You're a good artist and buddy, Flora! ^.^

I made this AJ meme yesterday. XD If you're confused, let me explain.

So yesterday, I was hanging out with Sarah and Snowlondon. All of a sudden, Sarah mentioned that her 5 year old brother had sang a song just then. So she sang it for us. Then we all decided that it should be a new AJ blogger meme! So, I made this very 'pro' edit. XD

- - -

Well, thanks for sticking with me and seeing these crazy pictures. I had a lot of fun showing them. ^.^ (Plus, it helped clear out my files and files of photos! Yay!)

Have an amazing summer day, don't forget to vote on the polls, and...

Jam on!!

Comment call: What was your favorite wacky photo? What did you vote on the polls?

Renovations and Summer Events

Hellooooo, guess who's back with a pooooost?!

If you guessed Lostfairy, you are wrong.

Okay, just kidding, its me, Lost! ^__^

And boy, oh boy, I am pumped because I am on...

Summer vacation!!

I'm super happy because now I have 3 months of total fun. I will probably try to go back to 2 posts a week but we'll see how that goes. I will try to be more active during this summer though, don't you worry!

But I'm also happy about this post. I have planned this post for a few weeks now and I can't wait to keep writing it. 😊

Today's post isn't going to be about AJ as much. Its more like talking about what's going on this summer on AJJ. I've got some interesting things up my sleeve. 😉

Rewriting:

That's right, after a little over a year, I will be doing some rewriting on AJJ. It is very needed in some areas... 😜 What am I rewriting?

• Every tab. All the tabs, except JH, have been around since I first started this blog. Which means, they are stiff and formal. I cringe at them, actually. I feel the need to rewrite them in my new writing style. (More... fun? And me? 😏)
• My profile. It's kind of boring. And stiff. And not the greatest. 😂 So, that will definitely be rewritten.

Deleting:

You are probably a little worried about this one! But don't worry, it's fine. 😆 I'm not deleting anything major. What am I deleting?

• Codes tab. It has been forgotten plus I never think of adding new codes. It's really pointless.
• Edit: I will also be deleting some old comments on the JH tab, since it is full!

Adding:

I will be adding a new tab to AJJ! I have been thinking about adding it for a while but now I am finally doing it. What tab am I adding?

• Jamaasian stories tab. That way, all my short Jamaasian stories can be in one place. I will probably write more short stories and add them into the tab. 😊

Changing:

Out with the old, in with the new. It's time to spice up AJJ with some new backgrounds and things! What am I changing?

• The template. It's summer! We need a nice, summery background! 😆 I loved the spring background but it's time for a change.
• My profile picture. It's not my main look anymore. I changed my designer skirt a while ago. I actually DON'T own a grey skirt. 😳 I had borrowed Koolest's skirt for the picture. I had no idea it was going to turn into my main look. 😂 So, now it will be a red designer skirt for my main look. (But I think in Koolest's JH illustrations, my skirt will still be grey.)

All of these updates and things will take place in the next few days or so. 😊

And now! On to some summery things!

I have not one, not two, but three summer events planned!

Summer Splash Party!

That's right, I'm having a party to kick off summer! It's sure to be a blast!

Here's the invite:

I hope you all can make it! 😉

Summer den contest!

Last time I held a den contest, it went nowhere. I got a few entries but I never announced the winner, oops! But this time, I promise to actually announce the winners!

All you need to do is: Create a summery den and then comment on this post or something saying that your username and that your den is ready for me to go look at. Simple!

Rules:

• Don't copy, cheat, or bully other people's entries.
• Don't use your extra accounts!
• Be creative!

The winner of this contest gets one free masterpiece made by me of their choice. (Note: The masterpiece must be one I've already made before February.)

This contest ends June 15th! Go decorate your dens! 😆

Summer story contest!

You heard it folks! I am going to be holding a STORY contest! It's gonna be so fun seeing all your entries! I really love writing stories and I know a lot of you guys do too. 😃

I actually got this idea from Gracie, so, thank you so much for the idea! 😊

Rules:

• Your story must have a summery feel to it, since summer is the theme. Also, it'd be best to do an AJ story since this is an AJ blog. (That doesn't mean you have to write Alphas and stuff into the story.)
• Your story must be 4-6 chapters long and each chapter must be 750-1,000 words long.
• You cannot add any swearing (even "oh my g__ counts as swearing), inappropriate content, personal information, bullying of real people, etc. in your stories or they will be disqualified.
• You can enter your stories by commenting, posting on your blog for me and then taking it down after I copy it, or if you know me on any other social sites that allow you to enter long comments or such.
• Do not copy any stories or use stories not written by you. It must be written by you.
• Have fun and be creative!

What I am looking for in the stories:

• Good grammar, proper punctuation, paragraphs, and good use of capital letters.
• Lots of creativity!

First place winner gets:

Two IRL colored drawings by me of whatever they wish and their story gets posted for everyone to read!

Second place winner gets:

One IRL colored drawing by me of whatever they wish!

This contest ends on July 5th!

Also, I would love it if you could spread the word about this contest by using this picture:

Ignore the prizes... XD

Thank you so much if you do post this on your blog or any other AJ social site. 😃

Well, hope you enjoyed today's post, have an amazing day and...

Jam on!

Comment call: Which part of the renovations do you think is the most exciting? Should I change something else on the blog? Will you be able to go to the party? What do you think of the contests?

Edit For Sarah!

Helloooooo! XD I'm just here to show you all a 'beautiful' edit I made for Sarah. It's kind of like that time when I made an edit of my main look but on a real life person.

Here you go, Sarah! XD Sorry it took FOREVER! :P

Eeeek, its bad. Oh well! Enjoy! XDDD

Chapter 13 of JH is Up!

Hey guys, just a little post to tell that a new chapter of JH is up and ready to read! Just go to the Jamaasian High tab to read it!

In this chapter, well, things are getting pretty... interesting. XD

Have fun reading!! ^.^

Phantoms are Spying on us?!

Hiiiiiiii guys! XD

How are ya? I'm a little... tired of school but who isn't? I only have 6 days of actual school which takes me to May 31st. I'm almost done! ^.^ Hopefully in summer I will be able to write more posts and have contests and fun stuff like that. :P

Anyhoo, enough about my life!

So, a little while ago, AJ released a supppppperrrrr awesome adventure called "Storming the Fortress." It is so fun and it has so many little hints about things hidden around. It has a slight intense side but I loved it!

The more I played it, the more 'theories' I had! I snapped a lot of photos just for a quote-on-quote theory post!

Guys, I am not trying to be like Julian2 with theories. I don't watch his videos so if it seems I'm copying him or ANYONE else, I promise you, I'm not trying to.

Let's begin!

First off, there's this weird, phantom plant. But how would a phantom grow on a plant? Don't they destroy plants? Maybe the phantoms we know aren't all the different types of phantoms in Jamaa... I'm calling this little guy a Phantom Pollution Plant or PPP. XD

Now this! This is scary! There's portals leading to different areas in Jamaa! But get this. All the places their going to with their portals are areas that aren't very used. Perfect for the phantoms. They can just sneak in and attack us.

Another portal. So, the three portals are leading to Captain Meville's Juice Hut, Basement of Secrets (Woah, AJ actually made that portal go to a secret area that new people don't know about!), and Club Geoz. Club Geoz is literally in Jamaa Township! :O They sneak attack a lot of jammers. Plus, their spying on us. o.0

What if all those phantom items we own for our dens actually help the phantoms spy? WHAT IF THEY HAVE THE UPPER HAND?! XD



More proof they are plotting against us. They have an agenda for attacking us and everything. They even have a little video of screaming animals running from their fortress. In a meeting room! I guess it's so they feel confident. :P

Ok, this shocked me.

There are a lot of theories on how phantoms came to be. Some say they came from Mira's tears when she mourned the loss of Zios. Others say they are made of pollution.

Now AJ is saying they came from machines. No wonder we can't get rid of the phantoms! They are constantly getting built! First their a black blob. Then they get 'legs', then 'arms', then lastly, eyes.

There still is a question. Who made the machines?

Is it an Alpha? A minor Alpha or one we know more? Is it someone we don't know at all?

And my last picture is not of a theory. Can you see what's weird about this picture?

If you're thinking, "Um, arctic foxes wearing dresses and having antlers is weird. Seeing a wolf halfway hidden wearing a flower crown, hoodie, and flower tail is weird too. A bunny wearing a leaf necklace is weird also!" then you are wrong. Look closer.

You guys: *inches closer to the computer screen and squints*
Me: *sighs and shakes head*
You guys: *squints harder and speaks slowly* I'm not seeing anything.

Well, if you didn't see anything, lemme tell ya.

WHY IS A BUNNY WITH GIRL EYES NAMED LARRY?! XD

Yup. Strange. I didn't know Larry was a girl name. :P

Well, there you have it. My random theory. :P

I hope you all enjoyed it! Have a wonderful day and...

Jam on!

I still love this siggy, Kraft. XD

Comment call: How many days of school do you have? What did you think of these theories? Who do you think made those phantom creating machines?

Lots and Lots of Tags!

Me: Hello and welcome to another brand new post of Animal Ja-
You guys: *clears throat*
Me: Um, can't you guys see I'm in the middle of an intro??
You guys: *crosses arms and glares*
Me: *shifts feet* Um, what's wrong, guys?
You guys: *crosses arms tighter and glares harder*
Me: *stares innocently back*
You guys: *sighs* Aren't you gonna tell us why you left us hanging for SIX WHOLE DAYS?! DID YOU GO ON A VACATION OR WHAT?!
Me: No-o-o... I got busy with school and stuff...
You guys: *goes back to crossing arms and glaring*

Alrighty, now that that weirdddd intro is done, lemme just say I am sorry that I haven't posted in a week. D: I have been kinda busy juggling my busy get-school-done-in-a-hurry-before-May-31st school time and hanging out with my family. :) I promise to do better on posting. ;)

So, before I go into the main topic of the post, I wanna talk a little about the update that happened today!

To me, nothing super big happened. Nothing really big and new came. The only exciting things are that there's a new kind of arctic wolf that has a bunch of snowflakes on it and around it and a new pet can be hatched from the eggs. (The wolf makes me think of the Spring Bunny... But a wolf. And colder.) Also, AJHQ has announced what the new animal is going to be! It's coyote! ^.^

Pretty cite! It could kinda look like a fennec fox. Kinda. :P

AHHHH, THIS IS SO CUTE!!!

But yet it looks like a coyote too...

Back to the update, I would probably give this update a 2/5 rating because we hardly got anything NEW and we got a lot reminders about old stuff we already knew about.

But that's ok, sometimes we need a small update. ^.^ Last update was quite overwhelming so maybe this is just a cooling off update.

Okay! Enough about the update! Let's talk about...

Tags!

I have three tags I need to do so I thought, why not do them in the same post? :D

This first tag is an AJ tag created by Nafaria9 and I got tagged by Graciepopstar91. ^-^

I've actually done this tag before but that was in the comments of AJ Whip. And it was a long time ago. XD

1. What is your favorite clothing item?
Umm, maybe my designer skirts or flower crowns? I like a lot of clothing. :D

2. What is your favorite den item?
Any type of item that has books. Again though, I like a lot of den items!

3. What is your favorite item that you own?
Designer skirts, flowers crowns, French braid, ribbon scarves, phantom hoodie, and spring sun hoodie. XD

4. What is your dream item?
A party hat. Or a headdress. Anything promo, like that new Stationary Desk. I like those not because they are rare but because I love how they look. Oooh, and more stacks of books would be delightful. XD

5. How many clothing items do you currently have?
I have 453 clothing items right now. :D It changes all the time because I buy clothes and sell clothes lots.

6. How many den items do you currently have?
I have 732 den items. Again, it changes all the time. Probably cause I like making MASTERPIECES!!! XD

Thank you so much, Gracie, for tagging me!

I tag... anyone and everyone! Feel free to use this tag on your blog, in the comments, wherever!

And the second tag is also about AJ! Guess what? It's made by Nafaria9 as well! ;) Naffy herself tagged me a long while back so let's do this!

1. What is your favorite part of springtime in Jamaa?
I really love the Spring Festival. It was a load of fun doing it plus it was easier than, let's say, Lucky Clovers. :P

2. Do you have a favorite springtime item?
Uhhh, I don't have one particular favorite but if you count flower crowns, then those are my favorite. :D

3. Do you enjoy playing the Spring Festival adventure?
Well, since it's my favorite part about springtime in Jamaa, then I'm pretty sure I do like playing the Spring Festival. XD

Thanks, Naffy, for tagging me. It was short and sweet. :D

And now the last tag! This one is not AJ related but that's good with me! I was tagged by my sister, Chloe Grace/Koolestkat. If you wanna see her post with this tag, click here!

So, this tag has a little bit more rules, if you want to call them that. This tag is called the Sunshine Blogger Award tag and what you do is answer the 11 questions from the person that tagged you. Then, you create your own, new 11 questions for the next 11 people you tag! It's pretty straightforward. :)

Ok! Let's begin!

 1. If your life was a book genre, what would it be and why?
Hmm, contemporary and comedy. (If that's a genre. XD) Contemporary because my life is pretty 'normal' and nothing hugeeeeee happens. Not like going on a magical quest or something. Comedy because my family and I have loads of laughter in our home and I can sometimes be the random-est, weirdest person ever. XD

2. Who is your biggest fictional hero?

Oh dear... This is a toughy... Well, if we're going with the superhero kind of hero, I'd say the Flash. XD (Oh wait, that doesn't count since I haven't watched any other movie/TV show about a superhero... :P) If we're going with the other kind of hero, like a person we look up to, I'd say, um, I don't actually have one... So, I'll stick to this guy:

3. If you could famous for only one reason, what would it be?

Oh man, another tough one! Well, I like the idea of being famous for being an artist. It'd be neat to have lots of people see my art. But then again, if I truly wanted to be the best artist I could be, I would be drawing nonstop everyday. Which I don't do. But it's a nice dream. :) Another thing I like the idea of being famous for is maybe me being an author? I don't know, it's a crazy dream. :P

4. What's your favorite dream you have ever dreamt at night?

Well, one of my favorites is this:

I was on a bus traveling to I don't know where. It made me think of when I was on a bus on the youth retreat. I remember looking around the bus and seeing familiar faces. They were AJ bloggers! I also noticed a few other AJ players, like YouTubers. I think I probably talked to some AJ buddies and stuff. It was a lot of fun. Then, I randomly went to the front of the bus and used one of the chairs up in the front and crouched there, counting... loose change? It was really random and that was basically all of my dream but when I woke up, I was pretty happy. You know that feeling when you wake up from a wonderful deep sleep and you feel all happy and rested? That's how I felt. ^.^

I love a lot of my dreams. No matter how crazy or wonderful they sometimes are. XD

5. What Bible verse is speaking to you right now?

Well, I don't really know what verse is speaking to me. But a verse I like is:

6. What is your favorite drawing style?

If it's me drawing, than I like chibi and AJ cartoony-ish styled animals. XD If it's someone else, I like chibi and manga and AJ cartoony-ish styled animals. :P

7. What is your favorite childhood memory?

Hmm, I don't know. I have a lot of good memories from being a child. :) One of my favorites is when my family and I stayed at a teeny tiny cabin. I was REALLY young but I remember that the cabin was so small that you could barely go down the hallway. There were only a few rooms. I was going to sleep in my sister's room. Since they were sharing the only bed in the room, my mom made a little bed in the closet/drawer thing. (Yes, I was that small. o,o) We had one door closed and one door open so I could breath. XD But I couldn't sleep at all so my mom made a little comfy bed next to my parent's bed. ^.^ I remember loving it there.

8. What's your favorite TV show?

"The Flash" and "Once Upon A Time." Enough said. XD

9. What's your favorite book of all time?

Oh man... I love SO many books. But one of my all time favorites is:

I just love the characters and everything. Plus, the whole series is WONDERFUL! XD

10. If you could have a superpower, what would it be?

Teleportation would be SO nice. I'd just teleport to all my AJ friends and have fun. ^.^ Plus, it'd be SO nice if you wanted to go on vacation. No flying or driving, just teleporting to your destination. ;)

11. If you found a magical portal and you could choose where you'd want to go, where would you go?

I WOULD WANT THE PORTAL TO BE THE BLOGGER PORTAL! :O Pleasssseeee, I want the magical portal to either BE the Blogger Portal or take me to Blogger Portal. Either way, THERE'S A BLOGGER PORTAL!!!!! XD

And now! My brand new questions for the next people to answer!

1. What movie character is most like you? Why?

2. What is your favorite smell in the world?

3. If you could meet any fictional character, who would it be?

4. What is the best thing that has happened to you and why?

5. What's your favorite daydream that you go to all the time?

6. If you could have ANY animal in the world as a pet, which animal would it be?

7. What are your 3 favorite words?

8. What is your dream job?

9. What's your idea of the perfect day? Why?

10. What sounds best to you: a book, movie, or video game?

11. What would you do if you woke up one morning and found everything you love gone?

And now! I shall tag 5 people instead of 11 because if I do that, the tag is going to die very quickly. XD

I hereby tag:

-Swirlshine from The Weekly Jammer News

-Talloose from Animal Jam Budgie

-Karalee from The Animal Jam Friendship Community (Sorry, Kara, I just did the blog you post most on. XD)

-Crazcatlover from The Crazcatblog

-Christine from Musings of an Elf

-And anyone else who wants to do this tag!

Welp. I spent all my afternoon writing this post. XD

Have an amazing day and...

Jam on!
