Don't worry. Be HAPPY! :D

Hi guys!  Thank you SO very much for all the kind comments yesterday. :')  So I just wanted to explain things a bit more.
So yeah, I'm moving continents again, back to America.  The packers are coming this week to take most of our stuff.  It's probably gonna be possible for me to keep my computer out for a bit longer, but it would probably not be possible for me to find time to post.  Our testing starts next week, and it's during the mornings when I usually post. Then I'll have regular work on top of that, which I usually do in the afternoons.  The week after we move into a hotel for the remainder of time before we leave for the U.S.  The thing is, even if I could try to post, the posts would be rushed and bland.  After I move to the U.S, the time zone changes (as you know) and I wouldn't be able to post until the afternoons (American time.)  That would be at night for all those Europe-living peeps.  In America, I'm learning that I'll have to stay after school most every day for band practice.  (Not to mention hw, piano practice, and private flute lessons.) There just simply wouldn't be time. I know some people still find time to post with a busy schedule, but I just couldn't be amazing like that.

Now, it's not like there was no personal choice involved.  Animal Jam does not have the draw is used to, it's true.  But I stayed simply for the love of blogging and all the people I would not be able to meet otherwise!  But of course, you just can't hold to things forever.  I'm not saying that people should quit AJ, especially if they're enjoying it!  But I kind of needed AJ and blogging in this section of my life.  In the next section of my life, I might not.  But how would I know if I never get out and try?

All of that said, I am NOT going to let go of the memories.  The skills I've learned through blogging and the people that inspire me are going to be carried with me wherever I go. :)  So I'd just like to thank some people and recommend some blogs!

*Thanks to mangoshapedspace and kinyonga who were my first main commenters and supporters!
*Thanks to wolfez, etherealcomet, numnum13, nafaria9 and cloudclaws, whose blogs and personalities especially inspire me!  Thanks to everyone who owns an AJ blog, I love being part of the community!

*Thanks to my long-time AJ buddies mimi8877, ciaragraceda, andreww21, and Lemo (again! :p)

As for my items, I just don't have enough good ones to go around.  I'm very sorry, I wish I could give all of yall' founders or something epic.

Bye Jammers.  Best wishes for whatever comes your way.  Here's a little quote I live by. "He who leaps for the sky may fall, it's true.  But he may also fly."

Rare Monocle, Lucky Party, and Announcement

Roar Jammers!  Hey, remember a week or so ago when I said "I wonder if they'll come out with a rare monocole?"  Yep, I'm physic.  And I didn't even know it.  Today's item is the Rare Steampunk Monocle!

Hmm, it DOES look better than the regular monocle.  I'm still slightly confused on why someone would WEAR one of those to begin with, unless they were trying to impersonate Mad Eyed Moody from HP.  Nevertheless, here's the rating.

Coloring: 5/5

Creativity: 4/5

Fitting:3/5

Price: 3/5

Now for the Lucky Party, which I made it to yesterday!

It is pretty much like last year..

With some new items in the shop!

Ooh, Clover Fountain! <3  Sadly, only one of them is nm, and it's kinda a boring one.  And of course we have the music.

One of my favorites.  Who says it's just for Lucky Day?

Okay, now for the announcement.  And it is not a particularly good one, unless you happen to despise of me, lol.  I know this seems so sudden and out of the blue.  But *deep breath*...I'm not going to be able to continue blogging.  There's something else kinda big going on in my life right now, and there's no easy way I would be able to continue blogging while doing it. (I'll make a final post tomorrow explaining EVERYTHING.)  Like I said, this probably seems so UNEXPECTED and I'm really sorry about it.  I've known for about a month now that I probably wasn't going to continue after February.  But I figured announcing it before I quit would just take the fun out of AJR while it still IS up and running.  And please PLEASE don't think this was something I just shrugged off.  I mean blogging has meant sooo much to me (again, more details tomorrow) and I was literally gnawing on my thumbnail trying to figure out what to do.  I deleted this post, them retyped it.  Deleted and then retyped it.  It's especially sad because the one year anniversary was coming up on March 3rd...But things are bout to get real hectic real fast.  Sorry, I don't want to make this post too long...
But as a mark that I'm trying to leave, I've created a new page on Blogging Tips!  Please give it a read through, even if you already have a blog up and running. :)

So bye guys.  (Until tomorrow, that is!!)

Leprechaun Shoes

Roar Jammers!  With St. Patrick's Day coming on March 17th, the Leprechaun Shoes are for sale in Jam-Mart Clothing.

The first thought that came to my mind was "Elf shoes are back in stores?"  Sorry, Mr. Leprechaun.  I mean no disrespect to your shoes.

Here's someone who obviously has a knack for multitasking:

If you're looking to trade, why not adopt a bunny while you're at it? :D

Here's 2 random eagle graphics.  The first one has the tree in it, and the second one...obviously doesn't.

 Feel free to use them, no credit needed.
I thought I'd start a segment called "Remember When?"  Occasionally I'll post a page from an old Jamaa Journal (there's quite a lot of them now) that has an update that was brand new at the time.  And even if you DON'T remember when that update occurred (or you hadn't joined AJ yet), we can talk about whether or not that update holds any significance today.  For example...

September 2012.  Volume 70.
The excitement of News Crew seems to have died down a little.  But News Crew topics are still being posted up to this day.  So this update DOES seem to have lasted the passing of time.  (Oh my gosh, I sounded like an old person there XD)

Anyway, that's all for today.  See ya tomorrow Jammers!

Magic Mirror and Den Basics

Roar Jammers!  These old Mystery Emporium items are coming back in odd places. ^-^  Today the Magic Mirror returns in the den shop.

As you know, a click of the mirror will give you an answer to any question you have.

Pfff, even magic mirrors can make mistakes. ;)

So I thought I'd do a little segment on the 6 Den Basics every Jammer should have.  They're perfect touches to any den.  So let's get started!

1. The Potted Plant.  (Of any type, really.)

Like I've said before, greenery is good.
2. The Fire Place.

Perfect for a cozy feel.
3. Small sit-arounds.

They go nicely on tabletops and shelves!  Which leads me to the next item...
4. The Small Shelf

Make use of wall space! :D
5. The Diner Stool

They can go around tables, in front of arcade games,....pretty much anwhere.
6. (Because having only 5 would make too much sense.) The Tiki Torch!

Great for lining entrance ways with a dramatic affect. (Duh duh duuun.)
So for the question today, what other items would you add to this list?  What are den items that you use constantly?

 Here's a DE post. (I wonder why I say that.  I mean, it's OBVIOUS what it is. :p)

 Ahh, I see what they did there. AJHQ. Q&A.

Later gators!  Roar on and be yourself!! =^.^=

Telescope Returns

Roar Jammers! Today the telescope returns.  It used to be sold in the Chamber of Knowledge, but now you can get it in Outback Imports.

Although..

 Wouldn't you agree? :D

Now here's some Jam-a-gram related news!

This gram was sent out to everyone, I believe.  As a matter of fact I DO need more diamonds.  But not enough to buy them.  What would be really helpful is getting diamonds in the Daily Spin for once..
Another things is you can no longer say 'XD' in grams.  Why are they always changing the chatting for grams?  Why are they always changing the chat at all?  It was pretty good as it was before.

Also, the Lucky Day grams have returned!

Wouldn't it be neat if the Pot of Gems returned this Lucky Day?  At the Lucky Day party, perhaps?

Now some eagle stuff.  It's kinda odd how their name tag overlaps all the land animals:

 Plus, you see them sitting in all these places land animals can't go..

Oh, and here's this update's Activity Calender!

(Plus a "Fowl Play" movie in Jammer Central.)

Okay, for a question now.  What do you think AJ HQ is more likely to come out with:  Another bird animal or a land JUST for birds?

So long Jammers!

Eagles, Games, and Items

Roar Jammers!  I can't say I'm overjoyed at the update...But it did happen, eagles are here!  First, the new item is the Hockey Skates.

Another winter Olympic item. :D
Now for the update.

When I read this I was like "yay... yay... yay, DIAMOND SHOP?"  But really, we should have seen it coming.  They are for sale for 10 diamonds...

Here's what one looks like all designed.

(That's not mine.  I'm 3 diamonds short.)  They DO fly around Jamaa, and it seems their "sleep" action is lying on a cloud..

Looks pretty funny.
Next page!

Disregarding the repeat info on pet tigers...Ok!  It looks like eagles are able to possibly fly above lands and find new areas?  Neato!  That sorta sucks for non-members and every single person who does not have enough diamonds for one.  I mean who wants to be told there are new, cool areas you can't get to at the moment?  But it'd not the end of the world...XD

At least there's a new game that everyone can do!  Swoopy Eagle, brilliant name. :p I thought it would be sorta like the Jamaa Derby of the Sky, but it reminds me more of Twister!

As you can see, I am a complete genius at the game.  Oh give me some credit, it's harder than it looks.  (As many will find out :D)
And the other thing is about chatting.  Nothing too specific about it.  Although they said they're trying to keep us safe from scammers.  I'm not sure how taking away special symbols would do that...BUT, now you can put an unlimited amount of periods and exclamations points.  Granted, you can't type anything after that.  But still it's better than nothing.

Next page!

Ah, yes.  Of course putting a brand new animal in the Diamond Shop is just a method of trying to get people to buy diamonds.  And to buy membership that apparently also comes with diamonds now..

That's actually a pretty good deal.  Very tempting.  AJ HQ knows Jammers have the hardest time being patient.  Plus you get this advertisement when you try to purchase something.

I'm just going to wait three more weeks though.  What about you guys?

There's a really neat exhibit in the Conservation Museum.  Plus, there's some rares that have returned in the DS.  (Along with the new game.)

It's not like people have so many extra diamonds at the moment.  Wait a second...ARE THOSE CLOUDS NON-MEMBER?  Yes, yes yes!  Oh my gosh, that's awesome!  I'm sure the ones marked with a "Rare" tag are still member though.  And the "Rare" clouds are technically just as rare.  But I can't say the same for the Dragon Glove and Cocoa Machine...
It also looks like a...green ring will be coming to the shop?

That's it guys.  Of course I want to hear your opinions on the update! :)  Did the eagles in the Diamond Shop take you by surprise?  Are you super angry or indifferent about it?

Roar on!
