Merry Jamaalidays! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧ It's my favorite time of the year on Animal Jam. Do any of you have special plans this year?

Woven Butterfly Hats ^.^

Hallo, Jammers!
I've finally returned from my loooong absence, which involved being sick for a week and having tons of homework. But now I'm back, because I've missed posting, even if this blog is hardly well-known. (;
Today's cute and springy item is the Woven Hat, with a tiny pink butterfly perched on the side. I love it when butterflies land on your head and you don't even realize until someone whispers to their parents something like," Look, that girl has a butterfly in her hair!"
It's happened to me several times before. :p
Lately, I've been noticing weird little glitches, like how the two sinks into the bottom of its bubble when you log on to get your daily gems. It's almost like the two got tired and decided to take a nap on the bottom of the bubble!
Anyways, in honor of the springtime coming to an end, I'm going to be having a party next Wednesday at 7-8 PM East Coast Time and 5-6 PM Mountain Time! :)
Please try to come if you can make it, because I tried to put a great deal of thought into my decoration and even the invitation!
Anyways, while playing the adventures I got a beta fountain! I'm very overjoyed, not because it is 'rare', but because it's one of my favorite Animal Jam items due to the adorable blue fish on top.
I'm also going to be fixing up the rarity scans page and hopefully adding some things, but be warned, I'm not the greatest 'rare expert' ever as I play Animal Jam more for the fun of it. :3
Ciao!

Hallo, Jammers!
I'm still sick- who knew. I'm going in to get my blood drawn and figure out why, which doesn't sound too bad. :p
Now, for today's item;

The floppy-brimmed, stitched together Patched Hat.
It kind of reminds me of a hat that you would put on a scarecrow!
Please excuse my short post, but it isn't exactly my first priority today.
Ciao.

Lawn Sprinkler

Hallo, Jammers! ^.^
Sorry for the dull title, couldn't think of a more original one as I'm still sick.
What? FIVE DAYS later?
Yep! But my fever broke, so I can probably go to school tomorrow. Yey. :p
Today's item is the Lawn Sprinkler, which has to be one of my favorite items to come out so far.
Oh, I don't know why, but I've always LOVED the idea of summer, and the sun, and all things hot---!
Okay, I'll stop. But if you know where I got that quote from, then you get a big virtual hug! (:
The Lawn Sprinkler reminds me of running through the wet grass as a kid, trying to avoid the sprinkler. I was always kind of wary to get wet at first, but then I'd adjust and run through the sprinkler like a zillion times while laughing my head off.
YAY MEMORIES.
But anyways, I have a tip on where to go when you don't want people to bombard you with trades, buddy requests, or just want some time alone!
If you have an Eagle then you can hide amongst the fluffy green pine trees above the entrance to Sarepia Forest in the Jamaa Township. (Hint: you'll see bamboo stalks.)
Another good place to "hide" is on the Sky High platform-thingy at the top of Sarepia Forest.
Since everyone now goes to the Sol Arcade nowadays if they want to win a prize from Sky High, it's become a great place to hang out!
I have to go and eat lunch now, so I'll have to end the post.
Ciao!
P.S. For anyone who's been wondering, 'ciao' is pronounced 'chow', not 'cheao' or 'cow' or 'ciow' or anything. Just had to throw that in there. (;

Ten Gallon Putty Hat

I haven't been posting because my throat's sore and irritated, and I feel kind of queasy. Yesterday I had almost a 103 fahrenheit temperature.
In short- I'm sick.
I don't feel very well, so I'll make this post quick.
This is the stretched out, odd looking Ten Gallon Hat. 
Looks rather weird, doesn't it?
It almost looks like it's made out of brown putty. It kind of reminds me of the Play-Doh that I used to make things with when I was younger.
I have to go upstairs for breakfast now. It's cinnamon rolls. (:
Ciao

The Legend of Naffyness

This is in no way meant to be serious or tease my buddies nafaria9, mythy, or myself. It is made because of an idea I had at her party, and to amuse her. It's kind of an inside joke, but you'll catch on. Enjoy! (:
Once upon a time, long, long ago, there was said to be a creature called the Great Naffy that lived in a beautiful cottage in the thicket of the woods. 
Sightings of the Great Naffy were very frequent (in fact, many Jammers over the years stopped by her cottage for green tea and scones) , but decent photographs were rare. 
Here is one example of a photograph taken way back when when the Naffy roamed the Earth:
Now, don't get me wrong. Naffies are kind and wonderful creatures who are widely liked and make friends easily. However, they are cursed with the fact that any photograph taken of them from a camera that isn't a old-style polaroid will turn out fuzzy and extremely blurred, hence all of the black-and-white photos.
Anyways, one day a young explorer named Edwing of Wington was looking around in the woods for something to do.
After skipping down a narrow path, Edwing came across the Great Naffy outside of her house, watering her flourishing tulip bed.
"HAI!" exclaimed Edwing, who was on a sugar rush after eating an Oreo Sandwhich ice cream.
"Hi!" Replied Naffy politely, strolling across the lawn to greet Edwing with a chipper,"Would you like some green tea?"
"Yes, please!" Edwing replied with a grin so enormous that it was scary, bouncing eagerly into the house for some tea. Naffy followed. She poured two cups of green tea, and they both ate them with scones.
"Hey, do you have any chocolate milk?" Edwing randomly asked.
"Nahhh. That's only for emergencies." replied the Great Naffy.
What? Green tea? Emergencies? Edwing wondered, confused. But she dismissed the thought after trying one of the delicious blackberry scones.
"Thanks! Come again!" Naffy called after their snack as Edwing pranced home.
Over the next few weeks, they became great friends.
However, one day, a new person moved into the woods. She went over to Naffy's house the next day to introduce herself. 
"Hi, my name's Mythy!" she said with a smile. "I'm your new neighbor!"
"Cool! C'mon in, I just made some scones!" grinned Naffy, opening the door a bit wider so that Mythy could enter. 
Edwing was eating a scone and playing marbles with herself.
"Good move, me!" she exclaimed as Naffy and Mythy walked in.
"Ohai, Myth!" Edwing said. She had already met Mythy earlier, at a sock convention.
As they all sat down to some delicious green tea and began chatting happily.
Suddenly, Edwing blurted out," NAFFYNESS RULES THE WORLD!"
"Hey!" Mythy said with a big frown. "I thought that Mythyness ruled the world!"
"Nope!" said Edwing.
Suddenly, Naffy transformed into a creepy black deer with watery red eyes in a blast of black light.
"NAFFYNESS NO LONGER EXISTS!" the deer said with an evil smirk.
"Nooo, Naffy, come back to us!" Edwing said. Mythy, who was still upset about the Naffyness remark, sat in the corner sulking and eating a cookie.
Suddenly, the Naffy-deer blurted out," Well, I do have a weakness- chocolate milk!"
Edwing, remembering her comment earlier about only using chocolate milk in emergencies, rushed to the fridge and grabbed a container of chocolate milk and poured it into Naffy's mouth.
Mythy, however, was still upset and stuffed a slimy potato into Naffy's mouth for good measure.
Suddenly, Naffy began to transform back.
"Noo, I'm changing back!" she exclaimed, her eyes slowly shifting into normal orbs and her creepy fur returning to it's plum-purple color.
"YEY!" exclaimed Edwing.
"Potato." added Mythy.
And that, children, is the story of how Naffyness came to be and how Edwing saved it with chocolate milk.
The End. (:

Inline Skates

Hallo, Jammers!
I woke up at 5:30 AM today, but I was too lazy to post. *yawn*
Anyways, the new item for today is the weird, neaon-colored Inline Skates, which are strangely in the furniture store!
This definitely is not one of my favorite items. Not only are they human-ey, but they're also useless.
Ah, well, not all of the items that come out can be useful. :3
Now, here's some random stuff that people say:
Hair? o.e
OMG me either.... .-.
For some reason, texting abbreviations reaaallllyyy annoy me.
BACON!
Kidding. >:D
I'm currently playing an adventure which I just got a rare spider helmet, arctic hood, and monkey freedom mask from.
G'bye!

Fairy Princess Hat


Hallo, Jammers!
It's raining horribly hard outside, and it''s all dark and gloomy.
Today's frilly, poufy item is very girly and reminds me of the things that I used to like when I was younger. o.o Namely pink, princesses, dressing up in pink as princesses... you get the idea.
It's at a rather expensive for a hat at a whopping 1, 250 gems! 
I don't see anything special about it, but there must be a reason for it to be so pricey. Maybe the ribbons flutter, or something?
Anyways, I need help boosting the blog publicity.
In the past few days, no one has voted on the poll, there haven't been many comments, and JAJG seems to be forgotten by most people.
What should I do?
I have to go now, because of school. 
*groan*
Ciao!

A Nostalgic Summery Update

Hallo, Jammers.
Sorry for the lateness of this post. I didn't have enough time in the morning. AGAIN. *grumble*
Anyways, today's update makes me extremely nostalgic.
*sigh*
It's filled with flowers, pastel-greens, and just summery stuff in general. ^.^
First off, we have a new eagle adventure update as I predicted.
Another way to encourage people to buy memberships. This is how it works:
new adventures=fun
eagles=new adventure
eagles=membership
adventure= membership.
Soooo, yeah. :p
Loads of people will probably be purchasing memberships because of this update. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing. :3
Anyways, the adventure seems interesting! I just hope that they didn't build it over the gem part of the adventure base camp. I'd better check, just to be sure...
Yep, they definitely didn't build it over the gems.
Ooh, hummingbirds! Adorable, I have to say. :3
I bought one with a membership gift card about a year ago. It seems like it's been forever. o.o
They're in the Diamond Shop for the cheap-ish price of three gems. 
And members, of course. >.<
Nms don't seem to be too happy with this update. :(
Next are the... errr... interesting "Den Portals".
They're very enormous, for a den decoration.
And, unlike 70% of the Animal Jam items ever made, you can sit on it.
To go to a buddy, you open up your items then put your mouse over the portal. Click on the blue link at select the den of the buddy you want to go to.
Then, poof- you're there! :D
There are quite a variety of vividly-colored portals to choose from, so there's something for every portal-loving Jammer! (I'm trying to sound like an add here. :p)
Okay, several questions/statements about that that banner on the left <.<
a) Wasn't it green last year, if I'm not mistaken?
b) Didn't the fair come, like... two weeks earlier? I think that it actually did... which leads to theory
c) that they're updating the fair, which would take longer. That could also be the reason that the tent on the banner looks like the "big top", which they might be adding in with the update.
And on the right >.> we have a random add for the Shiveer Shop. I wonder if they're going to be replacing the items with springtime wear, or new winter things? :3
I spotted this glitch with my buddy list.
Ellllllle's animal name was in MUCH larger print than Rainbow and Silvers' animal names.
Does anyone else get this?
It happens to me all the time.
Ciao!

You guessed that my favorite flowers are roses, carnations, and tulips.
My favorite flowers are chrysanthemums, roses, and water lilies. So nafaria9, you guessed one of them; roses. (:
Anyways, today's item is the Tennis Racket.
It's kind of oddly shaped, if you've ever seen a racket. It looks like the tennis racket- maker badly needs a sander to smooth out the jagged sides. o.e
Anyways, it's kind of human-ey for Animal Jam, and useless too. I mean, you can't very well hit a ball with a tennis racket that's pre-attached to the ball. 
It would be nice if AJHQ could release a few items that actually work. Like, maybe a pet-washing machine like the one that we have located in Crystal Sands?
Well anyways, let's have a few examples of what people say on Animal Jam:
What's for everybody? Certainly not Animal Jam's items, when seventy percent of them are member!
And we want to know that you're "rich in rares" because....?
Anyways, I'll be tweaking the blog design a bit today, so be prepared for a few changes. :3
Bye!
~Edwing- in the process of a signature.

Me Singing. *everyone cowers under a rock*

I made the same post on Edwingrim2's Life, and I'll probably take this down within a few hours. :p
Hallo! (:
I had the insane, very un-brilliant idea to sing Frere Jaques in a video, which is currently on my channel here.
WAIT, DON'T CLICK ON IT YET!
Here are a few brief warnings:
a) I made a complete fool out of myself, I am aware. Sooo, if you can't stand me being a fool... well... yeah, don't click on it.
b) Be aware, I have a cold, so I was trying not to cough, resulting in my voice trembling weirdly. o.o
c) I do not have the best singing voice in the world, so you don't have to waste your time listening to me singing if you don't want to. :3
d) I DO NOT FIND MYSELF TO BE A GOOD SINGER. The point of making that video was to entertain you guys and let you know a bit more about me.
If you have read all of the following warnings, then you may proceed to watch the video. (I sound like a flight attendant. o.e)
~Edwing
I'm resuming posting on time, and also posting here.
Sorry that it took me forever to post. Animal Jam wouldn't load, no matter how many times I tried restarting, refreshing, ect. Anyways, this is going to have to be a short post because I have school today. >.<
-clicks first page of clothing-
Wait, where's today's item?
-clicks repeatedly-
Oh, silly me. It's an RIM, because's today's *groan* Monday.
Again with the armor. So much armor has been coming out lately... or is it just me?
The RIM is the Rare Elf Helmet, which has a pretty turquoise-ey blue as the default. That nose-plate-thingy looks very uncomfortable, though, especially for the elephants to wear. o.e
Now, let's play a random game:
Guess my favorite flower.
I don't know what I was thinking there, but oh well. Just comment a random flower name and I'll reveal the answer tomorrow, so you'll just have to wait until then. *cackles evilly*
Adeui! (:

NOSTALGIA: aka I explain everything.

I started playing Animal Jam, err... well... sometime around late-ish 2011, I'm guessing? :3
Instantly, I was drawn to it and got on as frequently as I could to see my buddies and purchase the new items.
I quit just before certain member gifts such as spikes came out- however, the month-long membership was still on my account when I quit, so I still got the spike. Not as if it matters, anyways. I don't really like spikes, and ended up trading mine away for a black beard and spiked wristband, neither of which I liked any more so I traded them, too.
Anyways, the thing that really kept me on Animal Jam were the memories.
Remembering that time that my buddies and I all went to Club Geoz and chatted. The first time that I beat Sky High. Tons of other small things that filled younger me with joy. (That isn't an over- exaggeration, by the way.)
Those memories aren't really so easy to forget.
Which is why, almost two years later, I came back to Animal Jam and it was as if nothing had even changed. Except it had.
Playing AJ didn't perk me up anymore. I was older, and losing interest fast.
This is where the idea for this blog comes in.
I'd seen other AJ blogs which I read almost daily: Animal Jam Spirit, Animal Jam Whip, Animal Jam Times, ect. I decided that I wanted to make a blog too. Thus began Animal Jam Harmony. It was a private blog, which I ran with my good friend Tabby0805. We had tons of fun posting on it, but we hadn't made our Animal Jam emails, so it couldn't become public. Gradually, we stopped posting on the collaboration blog and formed our own blogs. Tabby kept the name, I believe, but I came up with Juniper's Animal Jam Grove, a title that I had been considering for a while.
That was how JAJG was formed. It was such a great experience blogging and having you wonderful viewers reading my posts, but after a while blogging too got old.
What makes me keep coming back to AJ is mainly one thing: nostalgia. : A wistful or excessively sentimental yearning for return to or of some past period or irrecoverable condition; also :  something that evokes nostalgia.
So, yeah. A mix of wistfulness and memories.
That is why I am coming back to blogging. Memories, and of course you guys.
I should resume posting normally this afternoon. Hopefully I haven't forgotten how to make a good post. ;)
One last thing: 10,000 views!
Wow. Seriously, it's amazing how far this blog has come. :')
Thank you readers so much for sticking with me through my random periods of quitting-because-of-schoolwork. :p
Please keep up the viewing! Who knows... maybe we'll have 20,000 soon!
