Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, Jammers! I hope you had a wonderful day today. I stopped by for a visit, and I would've stayed longer, but my Animal Jam started glitching out on me.
Anyways, how have you guys been? I hope everything's been going great!

I'm thinking of making a more permanent blog that I will try to type on more frequently. It may be this blog: http://reflectingwiththerain.blogspot.com/, but I have to spice it up a bit. I might still keep the same 'blue polka dots' look for its design. What do you think?

Merry Christmas!

Happy Thanksgiving + A Visit!

I thought it'd be fun to visit Animal Jam this morning to wish everybody a Happy Thanksgiving and check out what's changed. It hasn't changed a lot, though the chatting system has gotten a little wonky since when I last logged on.
I got to see Nebula and a couple of other friends, too! It's too bad that a lot of my buddies weren't online, but I'm happy that so many people kept me as their buddy even if I haven't been online in so long. :)
This new den addition is quite a beautiful den! I love the jewels and the colors. It feels so...spring-like.
And then, the game started glitching out at me. I don't really know why I started appearing as my own buddy, but it was very odd. XD
Huh, I should've tried removing myself, or something. To test the whole glitch thing out. I'll try it again next time if it ever happens again!
And then I had some fun talking to Lemo, as well. :D

I'm really sorry for not visiting in so long. I'll be sure to stop by during Christmas, because it's such a joyous and beautiful holiday. I can't wait to stop by again, it was a lot of fun. And boy, it was a crazy wave of nostalgia, too.

On one last note: I really want to thank anyone who has been supporting Gamer_girl's blog and posting such kind and helpful comments on her posts. I don't understand why this anonymous commenter feels the need to insult her so much, but I'm very glad that a lot of people have been protecting and supporting her. Thank you all so very much for doing that. Thanks to you, the Kindness Movement still lives on. <3

And, if any of you need any help in the future, just know that I'll be right here. You can always email me if you need anything. :)

See you at Jamaalidays! (And Happy Thanksgiving!)

The Time has Come

Unfortunately...this blog is going to be closing down.

Yes, I know, I haven't completed the weird titles (they will be given shout-outs, though), but I will explain more about that at the bottom of this post.

I really, REALLY want to thank you all for giving this blog amazing support and saying such great things about my blog. I also want to give you guys a huge hug for being understanding about this. I didn't want to leave, but my interest in Animal Jam has faded, and since my parents give me limited time on the computer now, I want to use it for drawing purposes, not for Animal Jam. :c

This blog has gone so far, and it's done so well. It was a truly wonderful experience. I could never thank all of you enough for your support.

So, just to clarify, this is what I mean by this blog (and my other blogs related to Animal Jam) closing:
  • I will not be adding more names to the Kindness Movement page. However, that DOES NOT mean that you should ever stop being kind. The Kindness Movement can last forever, for eternity, as long as someone is always kind to others. And, if you check out the page, we have over 50 MEMBERS! That's crazy, and that's a great start! Please continue to be kind, even if this blog is closing. :)
  • I will also not be adding more names to the Other Blogs page. If you want to let other people know about your blog, you can still comment the link on the page for any other passer-bys, but I will not be adding any more blogs to the page. I'm sorry about that. DX
  • I will not be accepting AJ-related commissions. Sadly, if I wanted to do those types of commissions, I would have to switch off between DeviantArt commissions and Animal Jam commissions (and I prefer DeviantArt more). 
  • I will (most likely) not be posting. However, you never know. I might get the sudden urge to post at some random day again, because that's just how I am. My posting is seriously sporadic, and never on-time. So hope for it, but don't expect it. If that makes any sense. XD
I love you all. And although I will not be as active on this blog, I will never forget the 32 supporters I've gathered. That is WAY more people than I ever expected to get! :')

Today, I went online and paid some people a visit:
And yes, I may visit at around once a month or less often. :c

But, if you'd like to stop and chat, please do so and visit me on DeviantArt! If you don't have a DeviantArt, you can still email me at cometcatcher109@gmail.com if you'd still like to talk about anything. If you're having any troubles at all (with life, or just stuff in general), feel free to let me know. I'm always here to help.

Note, by closing this blog I will not literally close it. It will still be viewable by people passing by, and they can still view my posts and see my journey from the beginning of my blog to the end. (Sort of like how RockyTop2 closed her blog.) 

I will not be updating the blog, but people will still be able to see it.

Here are the shout-outs for the wonderful other weird titles:

rainbow000pegasus: Lightning Necklace Slower than a Lightning Flash (XD).
Camp2014: Elephants like to eat pancakes! (They should!)
Anonymous: RHINOS WEARING TAP SHOES AND EATING PANCAKES CUPCAKES CAKES AND MORE THINGS THAT END WITH CAKE AND MACARONI. (This makes me hungry.)
Gamer_girl19799: There's always an eyeball. (Yes, yes there is.)
2fangwolfAJ: -insert hilarious title here- (This was basically a tie with Pink, but I decided to go with Pink's title. This was a close second.)
jzale314: The tie that you would give your dad for his birthday of something and he would never wear. (True dat.)

Also, here is a list of amazing people, though I probably accidentally missed a couple because there's JUST. SO. DARN. MANY. AMAZING. PEOPLE ON HERE:

RockyTop2, the girl who first introduced me to blogging and helped me in my general noobiness at blogging. Thank you.
snowyclaw, my inspiration, and a truly kind person and blogger.
Gamer_girl19799, the girl who was always there for me when I needed someone, and one of the kindest girls I know. <3
CelestialTwinkle, the funniest, sweetest person who I loved talking to "about the weather." I will miss you very much. I hope that I can see you on DeviantArt someday! c:
rainbow000pegasus, pure epicness. Enough said.
NebulaNight, an amazing, witty, and very talented girl. I'm 100% sure that you will go very far in life! And beyond! :)
wolfpaws4330, a sweet, inspirational and kind person who has been a wonderful and supportive friend during my time spent blogging. 
pink200330, a wonderful person and blogger, not to mention hilariously funny. I will miss talking to you, my little carrot friend. :D
nafaria9, a talented blogger with an amazing blog. And just a wonderful friend overall. Thank you so much for being so awesome!
2fangwolf, awesome blog, awesome personality. Your kindness is strong and unwavering. May you always stay that way.
Confection, you're amazing and very intelligent. Though we never really got to say goodbye, thank you for keeping me on your buddy list and staying with me all this time. 
RonentheGamer, an intelligent, far more serious person than I will ever be, but very fun and engaging to talk to. Glad to see that you're on DeviantArt!
numnum13, you are sweet, kind, considerate, and an amazing blogger. Your graphics are amazing. I'm very sad to hear that you decided to quit. May we cross paths some other time. :)
Rainbowcat1, an awesome, great friend. I had lots of fun talking to you. If we ever do meet again, I hope that you never change, and that you will forever be the same kind person you were when I first met you. c:
MythCat2907, hilariously funny, amazing girl. Thank you so much for talking to me and always being a truth-seeking person. Your art has potential, keep up the great work!
cloudclaws, a great blogger and friend. You have a very sweet personality. I hope that someday we meet again!
Cutepups522 AJ, a very sweet and supportive girl. Please continue to be kind and awesome! Thank you so much for commenting such nice things on the blog. :')
amq9, an amazing friend. I still remember how hard I laughed whenever I chatted with you. I'm going to miss you a lot. I hope you come online on DeviantArt more often!
WhenLifeGivesYouLemo, hilarious, awesome person! Hope you can come on to DeviantArt more often, as well. I would love to have more conversations with you.

And, as a parting, for my final, (maybe not final), words:

Always be kind. Always. Love people with your whole heart, and never forget the mistakes you've made and the lessons you've learnt from them. My time, here on Animal Jam, has been a crazy, unforgettable experience. In a couple of years, it will be a time that I will laugh at, but it'll always be a time that I will cherish.

Thank you.
*Hugs everybody reading this*

Goodbye.

Sincerely, with all my heart, con amor,
~EtherealComet

My Animal Jam Autobiography

Yep, this is it. My autobiography. You must be thinking, "What, already? But you still haven't posted all the weird titles!" Don't worry, I will. I just can't think of any good post content to actually put up on the blog, and unfortunately, yes...I am losing interest in Animal Jam. The sad fate that awaits all of us in the end.

I haven't been on in Animal Jam in a while, but I will still visit a couple of times. I heard that there is a hummingbird balloon (AHH! I want it!) so I'll definitely come on to see it and at least put it in my inventory, even if it's for members. :)

I first started Animal Jam around two years ago, with the request of one of my real life friends, owlsrock12. (Who has since then quit.) He had been continuously urging me to make an account, saying that it was a fun site. Eventually, I consented, inputting my favorite username at the time, CometCatcher109. My first animal was a bunny, who I named Snowflake Winged(I forgot the last word, I'm sorry). XD

When I first joined Animal Jam, I was overwhelmed. There were so many items, and so many different customization options! I wasn't that into the game, not yet, anyway.

I first began by exploring Jamaa, communicating with others and playing games throughout this new virtual world that I had discovered. The first item that I had wanted was the rare purple head-feather, which had been the Rare Item Monday the day BEFORE I joined. I joined on a Tuesday. It sucked. :P

I searched endlessly through Jamaa, trading millions of people for one of those rare purple head-feathers. Eventually, I got one with 4 store-bought items (THANK YOU TO WHOEVER ACCEPTED THAT) and I seriously whooped for joy. This was just the beginning of my item hunt, unfortunately.

I remember playing Sky High often, just to try to get purple mech wings. (Which I also had wanted, so that I could put it on my bunny). At this time, I admit, I was getting sort of obsessed with trading and just the general game. I'd play it often, and my parents started getting worried about me. I tend to get obsessed towards things very easily, and I'd quickly spend 7 hours or even more on Animal Jam.

I encountered some rough bumps along my trading endeavors, such as someone requesting my password (although I declined, saying, "Here's my password: DON'THACK), and they disappeared. Hahaha. I am such a troll.

One of my oldest friends, who I met around the time I joined, amq9, was there while I was a non-member. We talked and laughed a lot, and gifted each other during the holidays. I still remember the time I spent out of my day just chatting with her, it was great. She is a wonderful friend, and she's still on my buddy list! Throughout our friendship, she decided to take a break from Animal Jam and quit...but now she's back, and now I am quitting...

Around the time that I had gotten really into the game, my friend who had convinced me to join (owlsrock) decided to quit, saying that he needed to concentrate on school and that it was interfering with his grades. He decided to send me nearly all of his stuff. By then I was a member, so I was able to accept his gifts. One of the gifts were bat wings, (also rare at the time), and I appreciated it very much.

After getting the bat wings, I had put them on trade...and got scammed for the first and thankfully last time on Animal Jam. This random person kept flashing me a real pirate sword, which mostly confused me, and when they flashed a store-bought sword, I accepted it...idiotically.

I felt bad because it was a gift from owlsrock12...but it also made me angry. However, I vowed to try to get them back.

I played Sky High often, but I never did get them back. It was okay, though.

Before last summer, my parents banned me from Animal Jam, worried about my obsessiveness with the game. (They did it rightfully.) This was around the time that the Diamond Shop appeared. Eventually, they removed my ban, and I visited Animal Jam again, surprised to find out about the Diamond Shop, and that I had already got 10 diamonds or something like that since I'd been so gone for so long.

Last summer, I wasted MANY hours on Animal Jam. I can't even count how many times I spent on the computer, constantly chatting with other people and trading. And then my computer would sometimes shut down because it'd run out of battery, or it just couldn't take how much battery juice the game spent. (Honestly, if I were my computer, I wouldn't be able to, either.)

I regret that summer, because I didn't spend much time with my family. Instead, I just shut myself in. :(

There was some drama that I overcame last summer, but not very much. Sometimes I'd get in light scrapes with others and I would reply, only causing more problems. I learned this from those fights: If someone says something mean...ignore it.

Once the summer had ended, I began forcing myself to get off of Animal Jam. It was messing with my life, controlling it. I decided to announce that I would be quitting, and thanked all of my amazing buddies for what they did. But then, on one random day, I decided to make this blog...and it's kept me on Animal Jam for another year.

After making this blog, Animal Jam became less of an obsessive game for me, interestingly enough. I started meeting amazing people like all of you who are reading this, and I became more mature, too, developing relationships with actual people.

The sad thing is the fact that when I first started Animal Jam, I was addicted to 'rares' and the whole concept of pixels. I don't really know why, but I enjoyed trading. The only problem was the fact that most of the time I spent on Animal Jam was trading...and it was a frustrating experience.

After meeting all of these Animal Jam bloggers, I changed, and I've just noticed that now. Now all of the time I spend on Animal Jam is just chatting with buddies, and sometimes the occasional stop by Jamaa to see how it's doing. (It hasn't changed that much, even if the concept of 'rares' is gone now, people are still scamming and hacking, disappointingly enough.)

Because of some scrapes, I changed my username to EtherealComet, (which I love very much), though I still regret changing my username. I mean, I started out with CometCatcher109, it was my first username. It was hard to let it go, but I didn't want people to think I was a copycat of 'CometCatcher.' It was drama that I didn't want to deal with.

I have to say that the best part of my experience with Animal Jam was blogging. I like how much it changed me, and how I could share my experiences with others.

I want to give a HUGE thank-you to everyone who has been following my blog and giving me support. It's because of you that I've stayed this long, and I want to thank you. I may be quitting, but I will never forget the ups-and-downs of my two years of playing Animal Jam. You can always stop by and say hello to me at DA, since I am active on that site. (Unless you're underaged, then you may have to wait a while, but I will remember you, don't worry! Just tell me what your Animal Jam username is.) ;)

Song that makes me most nostalgic about my blogging time spent on Animal Jam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N3N1MlvVc4

Of course, there is way more to my autobiography, but I didn't want to write it all for you and bore you to death. Haha. XP

Thank you (this is not my last post, I will post other weird titles),

Pink Ugly Unicorns Tap-Dancing on Barf Rainbows While Eating Banana and Potato Salads

Hallo my little comets! This lovely weird title is by pink200330, and it made me laugh pretty hard when I saw it. I am SO sorry for not posting again in such a long time. I haven't been on Animal Jam in a while, and I haven't been as interested in it. (Which makes me cringe to say so, but it is unfortunately true.) I've been way more active on DeviantArt and yada yada.

I will begin writing my autobiography about Animal Jam as soon as possible, but I won't do it now because I don't really want to think about how quickly the summer is ending. It makes me sad.

I may be hosting a goodbye/memory party at my den, though, so we can look forward to that! :3

Anywhoozies, here is another section of the Fauna Pancake Adventures!
(By the way, in case I haven't mentioned it before, Fauna REALLY dislikes people.) 

Also, here is a cool movement that Pink introduced me to in Jamaa. It was protecting the rights of animals, but then it turned into arguments about how animals should be treated, and then it slowly dwindled to just random conversations about random stuff. Very interesting. XD
Have a great day!

Words That Describe Wolfiepaws: Elysian, Alate, Cosmogyral, Ludic, Lucent, Mirifical, and So Many More.

Hello my little comets! So sorry that it took me forever to post again. Anyways, this title is based off of wolfiepaws' sweet title that she said about me. (Though I changed the username to hers, I didn't keep it as mine, haha!) I also want to give her a big thanks for giving me a CS pet. Thank you! I have no idea how to make animals/trade or do anything on there, but thank you for the gift. x3

Have you noticed that Animal Jam has been doing a green theme with their den items lately? Hrm. Must be the summer fever. It hits us all.
And, I just wanted to say that there will be more Fauna Pancake Adventures coming up! A few buddies have requested for her to show up, so here is a preview of some of the stuff to come:
The new and improved non-member Fauna is back!
Fauna is not a very big fan of the bugs that appear in the pool. (Sorry if you can't see the bugs, her chats kept covering it up. Geez, Fauna.) :P

See you around,
~Comet

I'm back! Yes! (By the way, this weird title is Twinkle's title, if I remember correctly, haha.) I am so sorry that I didn't get to posting yesterday, we travelled all day so I crashed. Traveling was a lot of fun, but I'm very glad to be back. I'll get to posting real posts soon! :)

I'm also very sorry about whoever posted those comments on the 'stories' section of the blog. I want to give a big thanks to Cutepups522 who let me know about the comments, and her kind comments. I don't think that I am the sweetest or kindest jammer ever, (rather, I think you are sweeter and kinder than me), but thank you. c:

To future commenters who plan on 'hating': If you feel the need to hate on my blog, please don't use such disgusting terminology that's fake and completely overaged. Actually, don't hate at all, but if you really want to, I'll be praying for you! owo

Also, Animal Jam seemed very aware of my location when I was traveling:
Well, who would've thought that Animal Jam had all translations figured out? XD

See you around,

Hey Diddle Squiddle, the Horse has a Riddle!

And starting off for our first weird title is Nafaria9's awesomely-rhyming title! c:

Anywhoozies, I have some news! I'm going to be traveling out of the country tomorrow, so that means that I probably won't be able to post. I will have access to the internet, but I'm not sure how fast it will be, and I won't be on Animal Jam for a while. :c

I will still reply to your comments, though, if I have the time! We're going to be seeing a lot of sights and whatnot, but there still must be some down time for me to reply and clean out the 20-some messages in my inbox, haha. XD

I will be coming back on the 21st. owo

I also want to apologize for not being active at all this month; I'll try to be more active! I've been really distracted by playing Dragon Quest 9 and watching anime. (I haven't really been drawing that much, either.) I really should start doing some productive things. O.O

HASTA LUEGO! (And no, we are not going to Spain, though I would love to go there again.)

Weird Title Contest!

Hello my little comets! Yep, that title is weird, but I like making weird titles! So, in honor of weird titles and how fun they are, I've decided to host a contest. The contest will end on July 2nd. (Nebula's birthday!) Here are the rules of the contest:

Goal: Make the weirdest blog post title that you can, but it can't be:
  • Inappropriate.
  • Disturbing in any way. (Nothing really weird, or else I will remove your comment.)
  • Insulting to pancakes. (Haha, just kidding! Do whatever you want with your weird title, as long as it's appropriate.) :)
It can be:
  • Silly! (The sillier, the better.)
  • Long, but it must be under 20 words. 
  • Only one word. (Though I don't recommend this, you could try it if you want.)
I will be judging on creativity and humor.

The winner will receive:
To enter, please comment your weird title and your username. You don't have to enter your member status, since I have to trade you regardless since I am non-member. :3

Also: NO STEALING OTHER PEOPLE'S WEIRD TITLES! I will know whether you stole it or not, so don't even try. (Unless your idea accidentally slightly overlaps someone else's, that might be okay as long as it isn't word-for-word the exact same.)

And, as a bonus, all participants' weird titles will be used as my blog post titles once! Each participant's weird title will not be used in any particular order. 8D

Have fun! I'm looking forward to reading your titles. c:

Moving on, here is me being weird (there are just too many 'weirds' in this post):
My poor buddy's post might have been abused slightly by my wolf sitting on it. But only slightly, trust me!

Also, here's another jammer from the beta days:
It's always really cool to see jammers like this. I think it would be nice if Animal Jam made secret items that were non-member but then turned into member items (like the raccoon topiary, though I'm not particularly happy about that one). Eh, it doesn't sound really that cool since once you got your paws on the item you wouldn't be able to wear it or put it in your den. XD

And, last but not least!
Why did I have to get 3 diamonds in the daily spin when I became NON-MEMBER!? This exact same thing happened to me last year, the minute I became non-member I earned 3 gems in the daily spin. Oh, Animal Jam, sometimes you can be such a troll. :P

Whoa, I just realized that I have a lot of gems. I guess I recycle a lot of stuff often. O_O

Have a great day and happy weird title-making!

Crystal Den Pictures

Hello my little comets! I managed to sneak to my friend SuzyCupcake's den and take some screenshots of her den, the crystal den. It is a very pretty den, and it's pretty amazing. It's also HUGE. It feels sort of like some adventure base camp or something, it doesn't even feel like a den. Holy cow.

Here are some screenshots of it:









Aren't the statues to along the rim gorgeous? I especially love the center fountain. It is a very beautiful den, I just don't like how big it is. XD

(Big thanks to SuzyCupcake again for being my buddy and allowing me to visit her pawsome den.)

With this new update comes new glowing features when you edit your den:
It's kind of weird that the outer rim of your items glow. I am definitely not used to that, and it's pretty distracting. I wonder why AJHQ decided to do that all of a sudden? Maybe the new crystal den makes all things sparkly. owo

Anywhoozies, that's all to post for today. See you around! :)

Words w/ Comet #3: Animal Jam vs. Reality

Countless times, (and by countless, I mean a lot) have I seen Animal Jam YouTubers saying that they cut themselves or feel the need to commit suicide because of the drama and the bullying that they've experienced on Animal Jam. I know that most people who are reading this post do not feel the need to harm themselves, but if someone happens to pass by my blog, here's a message for you:

DO. NOT. COMMIT. SUICIDE.

Why?

Because your life is worth more than some online person told you. I know it's hard. I know that you want to 'escape.' Do. Not. You will live through this...but you are the only person in control of that. You are capable of handling this...but you are the only person in control of that.

In reality, you hold your life in your hands.

Why would you waste it?

Why would you waste it if you could do so much with your life? Why would you waste it if you could grow up, get a job that you will (hopefully) love, drive, and travel around the world? Why would you get rid of your life just because of what someone online said to you?

Your life is worth more than that. You were put into this world for a reason. You only get to live once. (Well, maybe you get to live more than once, I have no idea. None of us know, and if we do live more than once, we never remember, anyways.) That means that your life is very special. You are so lucky and extremely blessed to live. There are people dying in the world. Right at this moment. You survive from at least, what, I don't know, 1,000 things a day.

Think about it. You are extremely lucky.

And if you still don't buy it, if you still think that your life is worthless...look at the people around the world. They are starving. Hurting. Dying. People who can barely breathe, people who have to live on the streets. If you lived, you could do something for them. If you think YOUR life is worthless, what about other lives?

If you think you shouldn't save YOUR life, why not save others?

If you help people, just a little bit, you'll feel better about yourself, too. You'll begin to love yourself, you'll begin to feel happy that you are helping people. You can even do something small, such as writing a blog post, (like what I'm doing right now.) But I'm not writing this blog post to make myself feel better. I'm doing it for you.

Whoever you are, wherever you are, your life is worth it. It is worth more than this online game and this online person who said such terrible things to you. I know that whatever you are going through is hard, and that it is really painful for you. You can make it through it, I promise you. And then, once you've gone through whatever you've gone through, you'll feel proud.

You'll think, I made it. And then you'll know that you can survive life. Interesting concept, right? Life is truly a really messed up place. But it is also beautiful. Just look around you. Don't look at your computer screen. Look at this world. Look at the sky, the clouds, the animals. Sometimes I just look around and think, "This is amazing." It truly is! We, as humans, are co-existing with these creatures. We've developed our own language, our brains can comprehend things. We can communicate with each other.

And, most importantly, we can help each other.

And that is the main reason why you are here. To help. Whatever you do as your job, it's to help others. If you become a truck driver, you help transport things for other companies and people so that they can maintain their jobs. As a writer, you can help readers develop their vocabulary so that maybe they can become writers, too. As an artist, you can help others understand the beauties of art.

If you are thinking about cutting...

...Well, guess what I'm going to say?

DON'T.

The first thing that I don't understand about people who feel the need to cut or commit suicide is the fact that they never think about talking to their parents. If you committed suicide, how would your parents feel? None of us understand how much our parents love us. I don't yet, either (come on, stop staring at me like that, I'm not that old XD), but imagine this:

Imagine that you had a child, a soft, sweet baby, who you watched grow up. Imagine that you watched him get married, watched him have his own children. Imagine the things that he did that made you laugh when he was a child, or the way he drove you crazy because he would never stop ranting about the new Spiderman movie that came out.

Now, imagine that you found that your child had committed suicide because of what people had said to him. And imagine that he never even told you.

How would you feel?

If you feel the need to cut or commit suicide, please PLEASE PLEASE DON'T. Take a break from the computer. Find other hobbies, like drawing, reading, etc. Listen to some music. Take a walk.

And, most importantly, tell your parents.

You might be afraid that they'll ban you from your computer (OH NOEZ, I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT THE COMPUTER FOR A DAY), and chances are, they will. But it's better to not have the computer for a day than for you to not have your life anymore. And your parents will respect you, too, for telling them.

Don't ever hide things from your parents.

I know, it's so easy to lie to them. Don't. Lies only get worse, and they never fully disappear. I mean, I could post videos on my YouTube channel if I really wanted to, but my parents urged me not to. And I don't. Lying to your parents is so hard to do anyway, if I ever feel the need to lie to my parents I just get this terrible feeling in my gut. I suck at lying, and the only thing that I lie about is the fact that "No, I haven't been on the computer that long," (when, in reality, I've been on it for an hour or two.) I'm 100% sure that my parents knew that I was lying, but they dropped the subject. :P

Your parents are the people who can help you the most. I am probably not the most reliable source, since I've never experienced extreme cyber-bullying before, but if you need advice, I'll be right here. :)

Stay strong. God loves you. And if you do not believe in God, someone loves you anyway. Whether it be your parents, friends, teachers. And if you still don't think anyone loves you, I do! I love you because you are reading this, and you have the will to stay alive.

That is why your life is priceless.

Thomas Edison Plaque!

Hiya my little comets! Are you at least a little curious about the title? Good, because I'm going to make you wait until the end of the post to read about it. (Hehe, I am so evil, but then again, if you didn't want to bother with the rest of the post you could just scroll down and read the end.) 8D

Anywhoozies, look at what I got in the Daily Spin today!
The gifts that I got were mech angel wings and a neck wreath thing. Coolio! It's interesting that you can get prizes based on how many days you come on. Good job on luring jammers to come on every day, AJHQ! ;)

Moving forward, did you notice that the door to the Medical Center swings open?
Isn't that interesting? I swear, I never saw that before. Maybe Animal Jam incorporated a swinging door later. If you look closely at it, it looks sort of grainy. That's usually what happens when Animal Jam posts gifs. It takes on this sort of grainy quality. I wonder if the swinging door is some sort of animation gif that Animal Jam uses? :3
I was laughing really hard earlier with some of my friends; Lemo, Confection (aka Comfy/Misstess, she came back!), and a new jammer, Blossom Shylady, though I forgot her username. ^^;

We were talking about food, but then somehow, we touched on the topic of the Thomas Edison plaque! This is basically the gist of it: We think that it would be great if Animal Jam hosted IDEA contests. To put it simply, Animal Jam makes a post on DE about what things we'd like to see throughout Jamaa, and whoever posts an idea that AJHQ most likes wins a plaque with a lightbulb on it, or a Thomas Edison plaque!

It's kind of a combination of an accessory contest and the question mark things that you see throughout Jamaa, but instead, you can do any idea, like: new animals, new items, (I myself would suggest a chocolate fountain), or any activities/holidays that you think should be added to Jamaa!

And, of course, the coolest prize is that your idea would actually come to the game. =^.^=

But guess what? Comfy said that I won the first contest for coming up with the idea of an idea contest. (Though she helped, so we should both get Thomas Edison plaques.) XD

Have a wonderful day,
~Comet
