Hello Again + Inktober Art

Hey everyone, if anyone still reads AJJ anymore. XD I've been doing this quite a bit now. I leave for months and then return, with hopes of posting regularly and having some kind of posting schedule. But then, poof, I get busy or lazy and push AJJ to the side because I usually like read, write, or draw when I have spare time. ;-;

But yeah, I'm back yet again, so hello and sorry for leaving you hanging once again! Even though it seems like I have left the Blogger world for good, I do keep up with the blogs that I follow. The AJ Friendship Community is the only one that posts often so kudos to the authors for sticking with AJ and their blogging community. <3 I sometimes wish it was 2016/2017, when all the AJ blogs were up and running and I'd have tons of blogs to read. But times change and so do people and the game has changed so in all, I'm okay with the changes. I just get nostalgic sometimes.

ANYWAY, in my last post, I asked for ideas on what to talk about. Violet mentioned I should do a contest or something which sounds like fun but I have a feeling no one would enter and it's hard to hand out prizes when you're a non-member. I also don't really own things that'd be worth giving away. XD

So, since I'm bored tonight and don't have any other ideas, I decided I'd post some of the art I've been doing this month. If you're an artist or keep up with what's going on, you'd know that October is Inktober. If you don't know what that is, lemme sum it up. (I'm bad at these types of things but OH WELL.) Basically, throughout the month, artists use an official prompt list and draw something every day. There's a word for every day and everyone can interpret it differently so it's super fun. This is my first year participating and it's been a blast so far. (I may be burned out at the end of it but it'll be worth it!)

I haven't posted my art on the AJJ in YEARS. Like, ew, the art I posted was awful.

I mean, LOOK AT THIS.

...

I don't even want to know why I decided to ruin two beautiful book characters. What is GOING ON with Kai's hair? And just... ew.

TRUE, I did use a bad art program. The AJ Paint Studio is pretty bad but still. I clearly had no idea how to draw chibi.

But anyway. Let's move on to the Inktober art that I've done so far. ^v^

The first prompt was ring so I drew EXO's leader, Suho, with the famous and gigantic EXO ring! It was supposed to be mysterious and dark, kind of like EXO's old music videos and clothing style (if you excuse the sparkles). I think it worked out?? I dunno, I just had fun doing his dark makeup. I should have done more. XD

Second day was mindless. I drew my OC, Zuna, daydreaming under the night sky. I was in a starry mood, I guess. Night skies are just so much fun to draw. I was winging it with the background and I was testing out a pose so it's kind of a mess but I like it. ^w^

Bait was the third day's prompt so I drew a character from a Webtoon I'm reading, called Siren's Lament. Lyra gets called "Fist Bait" a lot so I thought it worked! I didn't feel like spending too much time on the art so I was messy and didn't mind being simplistic. *shrugs* (Also, Lyra is Instantmiso's character so don't steal her!)

And today's prompt was freeze and I drew Xiumin from EXO cuz he has frost powers. C: I'm happiest with this one!! I spent an hour longer on it and gah, it was just fun trying out a different pose than I usually do. And blurring his hand was fun. If you can't tell, I LOVED DRAWING THIS. ;-;

Welp, I guess I'm done now. It was enjoyable writing this post, actually. I might be back in a few weeks, not months, haha. XD

Please don't steal/trace my art and let me know what you think about it! <3

Jam on!

Comment call: Which art piece is your favorite? Should I post my other Inktober art?

Need Ideas!

Heyyyy, look who's back? ^-^

I've honestly been giving this blog some thought over the past week. With Paigeeworld (an art site that I used, it's sort of like Instagram? Ish? I don't know. XD) closing down this month, I have a little bit more free time. I joined Twitter as a replacement for Paigeeworld but I still feel like... I have time? To post and stuff? And since I'm a very talkative person, writing blog posts is quite fun and entertaining.

BUT. I need ideas for AJ posts. Or just posts in general. I want to get back into the swing of writing INTERESTING AJ posts. I'm totally out of ideas so...

I'm in desperate need for ideas! What sorts of content do you miss? I feel like the AJ community is too dead to do fashion shows and contests... is there any tags going around? Should I make a tag? Would doing a book or music tag be boring or fun?

Is showing how I decorate dens boring? Or would setting little AJ challenges for myself be exciting?

...Me asking if things are "fun" and "exciting" makes me feel like I'm an old fart who doesn't know what the cool kids do these days. XDD But it's true!

If you have ANY ideas at all, TELL ME. They can be super lame, whatever, I don't care! Maybe I'll just take any idea, no matter how weird or wonky, and just make goofy posts. You could comment on this post or send me a JAG, either way works!

GO CRAZY, FRIENDS. <3

I'm oddly proud of myself for making a nice den with the non-member items I had. ^w^

Jam on!

Welp, Hello Again

Wow, um, you know how five months ago I said I'd be doing more blog posts?

I lied, apparently.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO LIE! I swear, I was planning on posting more, keeping this blog up, and all that. But then life happened. School was a big ol' pain in the butt and brought a lot of stress. I got busy with art. (If you're curious, you can check out my art here!) Recently, I've been going on lots of walks and just simply spending time outside since winter was so long and I was cooped up inside for months. Course, I've been listening to loads of kpop and haha, I just spent close to 100 dollars on two kpop albums that came with merch which makes me HYPED but wow, I coughed up a lot of money. XD (Chloe helped pay since we are going to share them.) Oh, and I've been watching so many kdramas and I have this huge list of other ones I want to start and GAH, I never thought I'd be one of THOSE people who get obsessed over Korean dramas but look at me now. c:

But yeah, reading life updates is probably not interesting for you, so let me continue this... post thing. XD

I apologize for leaving people hanging. I mean, my blog's been dead for months so I've lost the traffic and some followers. Doubt I truly left anyone hanging... but whatever! Animal Jam's blogging community has been half dead but some blogs are thriving which is great! But most of the ones I used to read are dead which makes me sad and yet I totally get it. I've kind of grown out of AJ, I still love the game and all, but it's become boring since all my friends have quit. I guess I could try making new friends on there but I feel like they wouldn't last? I dunno, man.

Speaking of AJ, I lost my membership a few months ago and I haven't really played since then? Let's go on AJ right now and... see what... there is to see? XD

Oh man, ya gotta love AJ. As soon as I log on, I see someone with a beautiful username and then someone wants to get... wacky?

But anyway, if you want to hang out on AJ with me, just drop a comment and you can chill with me and Baekhyun.

Cred to Chloe Grace for making me that amazing Baekhyun masterpiece. <3

No, really, I'd like to catch up with anyone who still plays AJ! We can figure something out and hang out! <3

I might try to post this summer? I'm on summer vacation for three months so I have lots of time. My posts might not be very entertaining but I'll try to come up with something! I think I'll try to comment on some AJ blogs but we'll see what happens!

Sorry this post is a mess... I should stop apologizing cuz apologies are annoying to read so...

안녕, annyeong, bye!

And jam on!

Comment call: How's everyone doing? If anyone's still here, let's chat!

I'm updating small parts of my blog, like my interests on my Blogger profile cuz WOW, it's outdated!

Also, shoutout to Difficult for commenting and giving me a push to do this post. <3

Lost in the Melodies - Unfair

Me: *jams out to super fun song* HEY MAMA, EVERYONE STAND UP NOW!
You guys: *growls under breath* Not this kind of nonsense again.
Me: OOO, you're growling? YOU'RE IN DANGER RIGHT NOW, SO DANGEROUS, STOP PROVOKING ME!
You guys: This is really unfair, we have no clue what you're even talking about.
Me: *changes songs with ease* I KNOW IT'S UNFAIRRRRRRRRRRR!
You guys: *points angrily* YOU. YOU NEED TO GO.
Me: *grins and keeps screaming* ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, WE GOTTA GO-O-O-O-O, WE GOTTA GO!!
You guys: *face palms*

Let's ignore this mess called "hyper Lost listening to too much EXO." XD

Anyway, YES. You read the title right! I'm finally doing another Lost in the Melodies post! Sorry it took me forever, Ja! My greatest apologies!

If you don't remember (since it was months ago, whoa!), I'm going to be a post series called "Lost in the Melodies" where I basically fangirl over a random song that I enjoy and want to share. Sometimes the little reviews will be about what the song means to me, sometimes it'll just be me screaming how awesome the song and how you all need to LISTEN TO ITTTTT! XD

Are you guys excited for the second part? I know I am! LET'S GO!

Unfair - EXO

Because Christmas just passed and I'm still feeling festive, today's song is Unfair by EXO! I linked to one of EXO's concert videos but if you want a lyric video, feel free to look one up!

My thoughts on this wonderfully festive song? Well, lyrics wise, I think it's talking about a boy who wants to start a relationship with this girl he's over the moon for but she's being a bit unfair and not really letting him. She seems to taunt him by being so beautiful and making the boy experience deep feelings that he wants to express. If you already know, please stop playing around (don't you see?)

The lyrics of the song are really fun and full of descriptions! I like the imagery of the words and how playful they are. I've already had several cups of coffee, baby, but why do I still feel like I'm in a dream?

And even though the song lyrics themselves don't sound Christmasy, the music and vocals somehow sound so FESTIVE! All the vocals in Unfair are beautiful and blend so well together at the right times and stand out at the right times! I gotta gotta slow down, baby ooo~

But now! Let's talk about the hilarious concert video! XD

First of all, I LOVE THE HUMOR IN IT. Honestly, the way they dance or do little actions or funny faces just cracks me up every time! Xiumin's little sliding and heavy sighing. Kai's puckering his lips to make the fans scream and then his comical way of walking back on stage. Chen's goofy smile and actions to go with his lines. Chanyeol's smirks and his funny little antics with Chen. Baekhyun's dramatic actions and flirtatiousness. Sehun's pure concentration as he dances and his derpiness. D.O's sweet vocals and the fact he didn't wear anything goofy for the song. Suho's smiles and dorky actions. I just love it all! I know it's unfair, are you being selfish? (Stop it.)

All of their facial expressions are PRICELESS. They look so happy and full of life. Every time they skipped around or looked like they wanted to laugh fills my heart with happiness. (Don't get me started on Chen's random bouncing at the very end! I just noticed it a minute ago and oh my gosh, someone hug that sweetie. XDD)

I think my favorite part in the video is around the end when they are all close together and singing. It's cute, sweet, and reminds me how close they are to each other. Girl, girl, be my love! It's time that you come to me. Oh, baby, falling, let's falling in love! Oh my-a!

- - -

Whew, that was a lot of fangirling. Sorry this wasn't as deep and meaningful as the last Lost in the Melodies post. I didn't want all the LitM posts to be sad or thoughtful, we needa be fun and crazy too! ^.^

Welp, I am finally done a post! I've hardly done any posts this year, I seem to take random hiatus things all the time. XD But! Expect a What-I-Got-For-Christmas post soon! :D

Have a splendid day, I know it's unfair that EXO is flippin' awesome, and...

Jam on!

Comment call:

If you listened to the song (WHICH I SURE HOPE YOU DID!!), what was your favorite part about the song or concert video? Hehe, I can easily figure out what Tracey's favorite part is... oh my-aaaa! c; Did you enjoy this post?

Halloween Party Pictures!

Hey howdy hey! I seem to have forgotten how to write proper intros so forgive me for my lack of creativity. XD I need someone to make a "How To Write Awesome Intros" post. Please. I'd pay you! A million spikes! A million spikey spikes!

Anywayyyy, I meant to have this posted way sooner but it slipped my mind... I blame EXO. They caused me to have a one week condition called Temposwoonatitus. It's a condition where a mind blowing comeback by amazing people gets released after quite a while and the comeback is beautiful and has footstomping melodies that you couldn't BELIEVE. I was literally stomping my foot a lot last Friday, mostly in a public park. True story!

Okay, what I mean to say is, my AJ Halloween party happened a week ago and I wanted to post the pictures from it! ^.^

Kudos to Chloe for helping me create my Alice Angel costume! What a gal! XD Everyone's costumes were great!

I honestly don't know what we're talking about! XD I think I got "oot for" explained to me but I forgetttt. *gives Ja puppy eyes* Help? c:

JA IS DRESSED AN AJ BLOGGER, JA. HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF HER? SHE'S EPIC! :D

(Also, don't worry, Vi's reading what a book is about, she's not saying she was bred for her beauty. XD)

*says in spooky voice* Oooooooooo, find the direwolf plushie in an incredibly haunted castle! C:<

OKAY, I WAS HIDING THE PLUSHIE. AND THEN I COME BACK AND THIS HAPPENED. XD

OKAY, I'M SORRY. BUT SWIRL CALLING JA "PEETA" IS HILARIOUS. XD

*looks at Ja again* Peeta. Come. Tell me what "oot for" means.

HAHA, I forgot I said that. I should say it more often. It'll be a little EXO-L joke or something. Or just a me joke. I don't know.

*car awkwardly vroom vrooms by*

Swirl won the prize for most creative costume! She was Katniss from The Hunger Games!

*joins Sarah in throwing mockingjay confetti*

LOOK AT CHLOE'S NAPSTABLOOK OUTFIT! We were doing a fashion show and the theme was ghost. She was the cutest ghost EVER. Blooky is my baby. <3

I'm in such a weird mood... aw, who am I kidding? I'm always weird. XD

LOOK! IT'S ALICE AND A GOOPY INK PERSON WHO HAPPENS TO BE SAMMY.

I had a good laugh when Sarah started saying "Sheep sheep, it's time to sleep." I don't even know whyyyy! XD

What terrifying monsters! Sarah's Sammy/ink guy is the best thing ever. XD

The last theme in the spooky fashion show was being a creepy stalker. Cuz those are the scariest monster of all.

Chloe's just chillin' and bein' a Hufflepuff spider queen. c: Normal, right?

AHH, SEE?!! CREEPY STALKERS ARE THE WORST. XD

And finally, a group picture! I have no clue what Alice is doing... o,O But Vi's pose cracks me up. XD She looks so glamorous as Edward from Twilight. :P

As always, I give a HUGE thank you to everyone who came:

Chloe Grace/Koolestkat

Swirlshine

Ja983

Sarahkey8

Violet86271

Boxmonster

Cookiegaming106

It was a pretty small party but it was a perfect size! I got to talk to everyone, no one was left out. ;) I had a fabulous time and I hope everyone else did as well. <3

Have a stellar day and...

Jam on!

Comment call: How was your Halloween? What or who did you dress up as? 

NEW Time for Party!!

Hello, guys! I have come with an incredibly short post to tell you some incredibly important information!

The Halloween party was supposed to happen this Saturday at 2:00 but I'm gonna have to reschedule that. Plans came up and now I'm going to a city further away to do some Christmas shopping with two of my siblings. (Yeah, Christmas shopping already, woo! XD)

So! It's going to take up all day.

BUT NOT THE EVENINGGG! XD

The new time for the party will be 6:30 PM Central time!

Thanks for understanding and I hope this doesn't cause any problems! <3

Jam on!

Al Helps With My Anger Issues and Halloween Party Invite

Howdy, everyone! I hope everyone's day has been excellent! I know I've been coming and leaving a lot this year and I apologize! Thanks for sticking with me. <3

Today, I was goofing around on AJ with Chloe watching me when we saw something... very interesting.

This we had to check out! Don't know if I should trust them. They misspelled "counseling" but eh, maybe it's a new way to spell it. XD

As soon as I went to Al's den, she (guessing from her eyelashes...) came. DON'T I SOUND SO MAD?! XD

Look at that! Look at that! I'm so furious already! Some might even say I'm furious, outraged, SICK with anger! Ahem, anyway, Al says she can ease my anger but can she?

Alright, straight to business, straight to the point, LET'S DO THIS.

*snickers and snorts loudly* I totally am not mixing lots of Zuko vibes into... I don't know what. Me and Chloe first thought of Zuko so uh, blame CHLOE FOR MAKING ME PRETEND TO BE ZUKO. XD

NO, NO, AL, DON'T WORRY. MY DAD IS ACTUALLY GREAT AND WOULD NOT THROW ME OUT OF THE HOUSE (*snorts again cuz wow, that would look weird to see me get thrown out of the house*)

Since I don't wanna get into trouble, let's just say its on AJ.

Yup.

My AJ dad locked me. *sobs and cries a waterfall*

*wipes tears furiously* WHO'S THIS?! WHO DARES INTRUDE ON MY COUNSELING? WHO IS THIS OVERLY PINK FLUFFERMUFFIN WITH A HONKING BIG NOSE?! WHO WOULD DAREEEE-

*stops yelling* ExCUSE me?! Trick or treat?! THIS IS SERIOUS BUSINESS, OH MY GOODNESS, I AM SO MAD.

YOU TELL 'EM, AL! LOOK AT MY ANGRY FACE.

PURE ANGER. LOOK AT THOSE EYEBROWS.

*looks harder and squints* To be honest, I look an awful lot like Kris from EXO...

AHEM, NEVER MIND. XD

YOU SHOULD COME NEVER, BIG HUMONGOUS NOSE FACE.

YUP, I AM FILLED WITH PURE RAGE. I WANNA HURT THIS IMAGINARY AJ FATHER.

Al is trying to easeeee my anger. BUT IT'S GONNA TAKE A LOT MORE THAN THAT, AL.

*blinks*

Al is filled with great wisdom.

JUST NEVER SPEAK TO PEOPLE YOU DISLIKE. That, uh, works. I guess.

But what if I want to actually hurt him? >:c

But, huh, whuhhhh?! THIS POOR MANNEQUIN DID NOTHING TO ME, THOUGH.

BUT MY FATHER WAS NOT A LLAMA. AND DOESN'T THAT LLAMA HAVE GIRL EYES, EXCUSE ME?

I WILL NEVER CALM DOWN. EVER. But fine, I'll imagine stuff...

HAHA, CONTROL MY ANGER? NEVER.

*smiles shyly* But thanks for calling me... not a coward... a noncoward... an anticoward... A PERSON WHO ISN'T A COWARD.

BUT I STILL WANT TO HURT HIM, GRRRR!

HUH, AL, WHAT HAPPENS THEN? HMM?

OH, WOW, THANK YOU, COUNSELOR AL, FOR THE PERMISSION TO FIGHT HIM. Anyone who throws ME out of a house is a monster so HAHA, I SHALL ATTACK HIM. >:D

HAS THAT OVERLY PINK FLUFFERMUFFIN REINCARNATED INTO A BUNNY? AND WANTS TO BUDDY ME?

OR IS BEING ALL PINK A NEW STYLISH TREND?

SHUT UP, PINK FLUBBERPUFF. WE'RE TALKING HERE.

*falters* W-w-wait, WHAT?! AL HAD NO CLUE WHAT SHE WAS DOING? SO, SHE LIEDDDD, AHHHH!

You're welcome. Al did actually help me. I am the picture of calm and tranquility.

And yeah, Al can't adopt you, SHE HAS A VERY GOOD JOB AND IS TOO BUSY FOR FUCHSIA CHUBBY BUNNIES.

NO, I DON'T WANT TO ADOPT YOU. GOSH, EVEN YOUR PET IS EYE-BURNING PINK!

I ignored the bunny. :)

HAHA, TAKE THAT, PINK CHUB-CHUB! Al is very to the point!

THIS AIN'T A SOB CENTER. THIS IS AN ANGER COUNSELING CENTER THING.

Why, THANK YOU, Al!

You know, because of that one small trip to Al's Anger Counseling, my life has changed. I can now interact with people in a normal humane way and they don't run away screaming like they used to. I can now enjoy my life and I owe it all to Al.

- - -

Whew! *wipes tears away* THAT WAS FUN. XD I haven't been that crazy in a blog post in... well, a long time. I've noticed that this year, I've been kinda negative? I really want to change that!

I've also noticed that I haven't had many parties this year! So, LET'S GET SPOOKY!

I really hope this day works for everyone! I'm super excited to be doing this, I feel like I haven't seen people on AJ in FOREVER! XD

Plus, I'm very excited to dress up... hehe!

Anyway, have an AWESOME day, watch out for angry animals, and...

Jam on!

Comment call: Did you like this incredibly goofy post or do you prefer me being more serious? Will you be able to come to the party?

Also! Kudos to Al15 for being awesome and making my day with the anger counseling. ^-^
