We Both Changed...

Hey Jammers! Today I was just hanging out in Jamaa for the first time since... ok, let's face it; it's been forever since I logged on to this site. As a result, I got to feast myself to a gazillion changes that took place since I left in March. I will post just a few of those changes on this blog.

For one thing, the number of adventures that exist in Jamaa has multiplied like wildfire. In addition, I had a feeling that AJHQ (Animal Jam Headquarters) would use this beach area to expand upon their adventures.

What I DIDN'T know was that this "expansion" would be the arrival of underwater adventures! How cool is that!

Here are pictures of the entrances to the ocean adventures that were released.

Also, see that cave that pops up when you first enter the ocean adventures?

It actually leads to Bahari Bay. :)

There are also a few new land adventures as well. Be sure to check them out if you haven't already!

By the way, there is this rock pathway just to the left of the entrance to The Hive adventure that leads to this crystal structure that I think is really cool... just putting that out there... :P

In addition, a huge assortment of new items have been released in the Diamond Shop. Here is a picture that includes all the new animals in Jamaa.

The polar bear, otter, hyena, and eagle are now available for purchase in the Diamond Shop!

Here are two pictures that include all the new pets in Jamaa.

The fox, lion, owl, monkey, sugar glider, and rhino (the fox, lion, owl, sugar glider, and rhino are new)

The giraffe, hummingbird, cheetah, eagle, and tiger (the giraffe, cheetah, and eagle are new)

Finally, a new row of colors has been added to the array of colors that you can choose from for the colors of your animals!

Sadly, this also means that the Secret Color Glitch that many of us used to love no longer exists (you can read more about this glitch on my Glitch Planet page)... RIP Secret Color Glitch. :(

I also realized that Animal Jam wasn't the only one that changed since I was active on this site a year and a half ago; I changed as well. I feel like my experiences with high school caused me to mature in ways I can't describe, and the lessons I learned since I started high school last year have definitely had an impact on how I interact with people on a day-to-day basis.

In spite of this, I was extraordinarily happy to find two of my old Animal Jam friends, coolchico and Feelers, on this site, and I hung out with them some while I checked out all the new updates on this game. I miss you guys!

That's all for now jammers, and have a jam-tastic holiday season and beginning of the season of Winter!

Music and Banner Update

Hey jammers! As you may have noticed, the music didn't automatically start playing when you accessed this blog. That's because I searched up the song that I display on this blog, Galaxies by Owl City, on soundcloud.com again in order to change the settings so that it would not play automatically (I have heard that this can be quite annoying to people visiting my blog). However, SoundCloud seems to have made quite a few changes to the way you can embed songs since I last shared a song from there, and I cannot remove the multitude of comments displayed throughout the song. I am really sorry about the inconvenience. If you want to listen to this song, scroll down to the bottom of this blog and click the white arrow in the purple circle next to the word "Galaxies."

Since I am a non-member on Animal Jam now (and therefore can no longer play as Eternal Clevermoon) and hardly ever get on there anymore anyway, I decided to update my banner in honor of my favorite quote that I was first exposed to during my 6th grade year. Also, I feel that this banner reveals my personality not just through the fonts of the text and the colors of the text and border but also through the image displayed in the background of the banner (it is my favorite banner so far).

I hope you enjoy both of these updates, and have a jam-tastic day!

Quitting

Hey jammers! You guys probably saw this coming, but I'm officially quitting Animal Jam. For the longest time I thought I would end up quitting this game because of the endless drama that used to exist on this site, but in the end, I quit because I just can't keep playing AJ and keep up with my extracurricular activities and my advanced classes (I plan on taking 3 college-level, also known as AP, classes next year, and it's not uncommon for me to stay up until midnight doing homework during the week). I'm also expected to do quite a bit of community service over the next 3 years in order to stand a chance as far as applying for college is concerned.

I'm really sorry that I have not been able to take some time to hang out with you guys; I would love to continue to hang out with you guys and update this blog as often as I used to, but my life is just too packed with responsibilities to take the time to log on to this game to visit my online friends.

I guess it doesn't help any that I've sort of outgrown AJ since I started playing this game almost 3 years ago.

Nevertheless, I will never forget all of the amazing memories I made with my awesome AJ friends. I thank all of you for your support during my roughest times and just for being as enthusiastic and heart-warming as you are. I miss you guys very much, but I must go.

This blog will always be up for you to view in honor of all of the amazing (and not-so-amazing) memories I made during the 2 and a half years that I spent in Jamaa.

I truly enjoyed getting to know each and every one of you during my time in Jamaa, and with this statement, I will wrap up this post and my Animal Jam journey. I hope everyone has a jam-tastic day and rest of their experience in Jamaa!
