Labeling Yourself, Don't Do It.


Sometimes people can get in your way of doing things. Though you need to be sure. People won’t understand you if you have your own way of doing things. Never say “I’m just a rebel” because then they’ll just laugh and say “No your being a smart allec” Or in the more urban way “Your being a smartass”. People won’t understand things you want, except you. Even if you try your best to achieve that, it won’t work- they hold you back.
 “Then the angel asked her what her name was she said, I have none. Then he asked her, can this be my father never gave me one.”-Abrahams Daughter- Arcade Fire
“How darest child- defy your father- you better let young Isaac go.”-Abrahams Daughter- Arcade Fire
Society doesn’t allow “Unique” or “Different people” in. They stereotype against them saying “Oh, they are to smart.” Or “I heard they are bisexual. Stay away from her” but really, it is better to be different then the same. Principals agree and like the “sames” (From now on they are separated by sames and differents). People say “Oh no they wouldn’t do that” Because they think they are perfect.
“Unless you’re perfect, then you can’t judge.”
I don’t find myself as a rebel. Saying you’re a rebel is bullshit. You can’t go around saying *I’m THIS* *I’m THAT* Because, you can’t label yourself. You are what you are, and if you fight for yourself and what is the truth and not just some dumbass saying something that doesn’t go along with common sense, then you would be considered a bitch. To society. Only because you said something they don’t like. So if you say something more powerful then what they said, you are now officially considered- a bitch.
Lets go back to the sames and differents.
Sames- like to change themselves into the picture of what we find “perfect” or “Normal”.
Differents- Don’t care how they look or how different they look from everyone else (The Sames), their outcasts.
“I’m kind of between a goody-goody and a rebel, I’m a little crazy”-Michelle Wei
Rebels aren’t punks. They just don’t agree with what people see as “The perfect image” they disagree with the idea of everyone being the same. I really have no idea what I am typing, and I don’t know much about rebels. I’ve been a bit like the quote above this paragraph. A little crazy….

Been a great run, but it's over...HOORAY!

Ahola.
See what I did there? No? Well, I said Ahola which means hello AND goodbye? Now do you understand? Hooray!

I've been playing this game for a long time...It's taken my life away. I'm not saying it was just this game...When I was eight and played toontown- that took my life away too.

Wizard101 has given me things but...It's taken away from my social life. Multiplayer games aren't good for me. I've missed Bat Mitsfa partys, surprise parties, etc. just to play. Grades have gone down a lot since I discovered online games..and I will still be playing Wizard101- but not as much.

I'm leaving the blogging, twitter, etc. community. Like in a post awhile ago...IT'S A GAME PEOPLE! You can't make someone look bad in front of a bunch of DIGITAL CHARACTERS who don't even know you in person.

The community is getting crazy...I don't even quest anymore, the only thing that keeps me staying is the houses..even if they look horrible...it's still fun

Sooooo...AHOLA

My travels across the country..the search for housing ideas.

Ello.
I have traveled across the country of America in search of inspiration..well actually to visit my grandma but still, I looked out the window at the same time. America has sme pretty cool things...I've seen light bridges/archways, cliffs with shrubs, shrubs as hedges, wells, and a lot of other cool things along the way. I plan to use all of these in housing, in my new house, my storm house.

Whaaaattt? Vanessa is making ANOTHER house?? Why yes I am little voice, I finished my other house and I will showcase it here probably in my next post, it probably wasn't one of my best housing on the inside, it the outside it one of the favorites of mine.

I won't show you any picters yet, up I will tell you about what's on the outside. Well there is unicorn pond entrance thinner on the entrance and two small gardens off to the side. If you go to the back of the ouse you come to a nice carnival/fairgrounds area. On the side of the Ouse is a really pretty hedge garden with magical changing color flowers (which I am really proud of inventing ;) ) and the tree of seasons in the center which also forms a gazebo sort of thing with the benches and hedges surrounding it.

Go up into the arena area of the castle and you have a nature, comfortable, flowery, arena. Flowers of all types of colors cover the arena floors with small flower petal which are placed on top the player circles wich making each member of the pvp match fly.

Surrounding the arena circles are three platforms on each side where observers can stand and watch the duel. In the back are two fountains and one grassy mound platform.

That's pretty much the description of the outside, come back soon to check out the full house with all the pictures, etc. etc.


Til next time
Happy wizarding!

The Great House Help Project! Part 1

Hey hey hey!
(It's faaaaattt Albert)
So many people like to make houses? Well, I am doing this post for Housing101 but hey why not help you guys!
I have been making a lot of houses lately and have been working on other "experiments" in housing. The spiral has a lot of different views and designs/layouts, you may not know this, but these can be brought into your houses!

Now making houses with themes of "Wizard City" Or "Krokotopia" aren't good but you can add them into you themes like "Krokotopian Exploration" Or "Grizzleheim Outpost" SOOO, LETS BEGIN!

Krokotopia:


The Krokotopian/Marlybonian digsite scenery is found in the royal hall. They are actually easy to make.
For the reinforced crates to use this way to float your rugs, if you didn't already know how: Floating Rugs
SUPPLIES
  • One krokotopian tent, small one from Meowiarty and large one from Stoker #2
  • Three reinforced crates
  • One small wooden table
  • One folding stool
  • One stone bowl (Not necessary, but if you want more detail)
  • Two shovels/worn shovels
  • One long broken wall
  • Two wooden barrels
  • One floor torch
  • One tactical map

Marlybone:

This one is one of my favorites. I love marlybone! This one is very simple and great if you have a low budget, it only costs around 1000-1500 gold! For this glitch you have to use this method, most people don't know this glitch- check it out: SUPER HOUSING ITEMS!
SUPPLIES
  • Street lamp- MB housing shop
  • Marlybonian street sign- Old Smokey, Ironworks
Mooshu:

This glitch I found in Shirataki Temple, floating paper lanterns onto Torii's/arches. Once again, another simple glitch just need to use this glitch again: how to float rugs
SUPPLIES
  • Any torii's from Mooshu, blue stone toriis, crimson torii, etc. etc.
  • One or more paper lanterns
Dragonspyre:

This glitch isn't a glitch at all. You don't even need to glitch! It looks nice at the large Dragonspyre house in the center outside.
SUPPLIES
  • Dragonspyre statue base
  • Headmaster statue
  • Dragonspyre platform

Sorry that I haven't done Wizard City, still working on a way to make this work! Thanks for reading!

Till next time
Happy Wizarding!

The Spiral is FULL of Many Different People!

Hey
**BEFORE YOU READ THIS PLEASE KNOW I RESPECT WHAT YOU WRITE ON YOUR BLOG, I AM NOT FORCING YOU TO CHANGE, IT'S YOUR BLOG**
This post is about people in the spiral or the planet earth in fact. Creative people, nice people, EXTREMELY talented people, carefree people, worrisome people, etc etc. But there is the kind that in my mind, should take a break from Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking systems.

In Facebook terms, let's say someone posts a status, a casual one "Can't wait until tomorrow! Going to Florida for the break!" Maybe? Well, lets say no one comments on it. "Why aren't they commenting on this!" Or "Why do they hate me!" would pop into their head. Take a break, seriously, they still like you.

I have had a friend like this about two years ago, N______ L_____E___ where just the starting letters of each word in her name. There would be times where I would be AFK and she would ask me to port. Then (because I was AFK) when I didn't port, she would ignore me and say "inappropriate words" to me. A week later was when she would talk to me. She deleted me because I hung out in my house to much. Another thing that makes me crack up is when people say *Punch* Or I WANNA KILL YOU, seriously, reach through my computer, punch me. COME AT ME BRO!

I am not telling anyone to change at all, but seriously, take a step outside, hang out with some friends, have a good time, and take a chill pill...Its a game just telling you that if you didn't know, a game.

Till Next Time
Happy Wizarding!

The Final Destination: Guess what I mean by that? *Hint HOUSE Hint*

Hi everyone

The New Year really has been going great so far! The blog views in four days have gone up to 238 already. I've recently made a real life blog about the real life me and not just the Vanessa me (Blog link found at bottom of the post). The point I made that blog is to keep track of my life and everything that is happening about it. I don't like to share to much about myself, but I am giving out safe information.

Onto the game, I finished Zafaria!
"Wow, you're slow"
I know, I know. Most of you have probably finished already. They Savannah and other area didn't have enough room for the population of wizard! AHHHHHH

So, guess what happened to me. I have finished, the pet sanctuary! *Bows as the crowd cheers with excitement*

Till Next Time
Happy Wizarding!

...

NO, I'm just kidding, lets see the house


So as the picture shows, well be doing the right side of the house, the back side, and the inside
Right Side+Back Side+ Inside = AWESOMENESS !!!

This is one park area, not the greatest but, you know. Also has a nice storage shed with animal food and pet supplies to keep the sanctuary running smoothly.

This is the Pet Park. It has an awesome entrance and an AWESOME swing in the corner of the park, also a pavilion for any shows or plays going on.


Let's head inside! This is the entrance, it has a cute little pond in the corner, a garden and MAGICAL SHRUBBERY, to welcome our residents.

In the basement there is a farm area where mount owners can either donate or lend to us, to take care of while they're out saving the spiral. We also have an ostrich and chickens which help us produce eggs to sell AROUND THE SPIRAL!


 The battlefield, of the.. ULTIMATE....NOOB.....PICNICCCCCC !!! A nice little picnic bench and a picnic rug!



Also on the second floor is our spa, where you can and your pets can relax and lay on our hammock, soak in our hot springs, or just sit with a coconut by our wading pond.



Here is our registration office for any wizard in the spiral who wants to sign up for a membership at our Pet Sanctuary, stop by some time.

 (Try singin' that with Thriller)
This is our Wintertusk/Grizzleheim room. It keeps a stable, cold temperature so your cold icy pets
stay warm while they play in this area.

That's all for this house except if you go back to the entrance hall and take a left, in the corner of the room is teleporter to send you up into the trees where we have our special, treetop club.

With chairs all around to converse with your friends while enjoying a nice cold beverage from our bar table in the corner, and a stage where we usually invite a band to come and play... or we just have karaoke night.

Thanks!

________________________________

Now, I have already started decorating ANOTHER house! This time it will be in my MFP again where the ruins of Goodstrang Academy once stood, and building a luxury 5star hotel!

Just to end the post I want to say, thank you so much everyone! I've only made one post this whole month, but it has defiantly been the most successful month at that. Other than July, this has gotten 1600+ views, and 800 on that one post! Other posts were viewed and I have been working on outside projects, including a new YouTube account, with ME in real life, and a blog about my in real life. I am really excited to show you all and again, thanks for any excellent start to the new year.

Till Next Time
Happy Wizarding

First Post of the New Year! What Happened So Far..

Hey guys!
So, I lost my Ostrich, Reginald today..but luckily when I looked at the blog I saw my birthday party post and I saw that Reginald turned out to be in the party room! So I found him!

Happy New Years! First day of 2012, I can't tell if that is a good thing or a bad thing, since there was an earthquake in Japan yesterday, literally right after 12:00. Heather Raven on Twitter had lecture on how its no big deal since no one got hurt and there was no damage, it was very funny to read, even though now that I think about it..I have no idea how it was so funny. Maybe it was late night loopynis!

The start of the year for me has been pretty good, my dad got my DATA for my phone, which means I can go on the internet and get apps, and everything else a phone should be able to do, I been very awake and have no trouble getting up in the morning even if I stay up until 2:00AM, and I've been very inspired. Especially, with my new house.

New house? you may ask yourself. Yes, a new house! Once more I recreate my THIRD pet sanctuary! Yeah, I made those houses a lot. The first house I made before I even made the blog so I didn't take a picture, the second recreation I did was on Leesha SeaGlade my old life character which "Dropped out of Ravenwood" (AKA I deleted her) so I lost that house which you can see the slideshow HERE, and the new creation I am doing on Vanessa EmeraldGlade, so I will never delete it.

It's been doing good so far, some areas need a bit of work, and I have had to cut some pets and pet areas out from the pet sanctuary, due to space and other ideas to make the recreation even greater than ever before. Here are some photos I took of what I finished so far, not all of them are done, maybe a few more detail and I will be completely finished with the area I am about to show you...BEHOLD FOR IT IS THE FIRST PART OF THE THIRD PET SANCTUARY:

This is the view of the house when you first enter, yes it looks very messy not considering the black fog blocking the view of the second part of the sanctuary. Let's head on into the HEDGE WALKWAY, to many people call it a maze, but in reality, it isn't since it's quite easy to navigate yourself through.
Please, from all of us (ME) at The Diviners Lane, we urge you, to read a book....please..do it for the children.

Welcome to the unicorn enclosure, here we have Bo, Peanut, Charlie, and Bella. The setting for the unicorns it very open and has a nice bench for you to sit down and relax while your pet "socializes" (*Wink Wink*) with the other unicorns.

While in the unicorn enclosure you can climb up a hill and walk on the hedge path, a line of hedges on a cliff around the circumference of our property, along with your pet.


As you come around the corner of the house you enter a view of the backyard, which is currently under construction and completely empty. Now lets not go to far, lets turn around and go back to the Hedge Pathway.
Here we are at our fairy enclosure, with our three fairies, Bonnie, Trixie, and Angel. This area was made very small since fairies are very small and it could be hard for owners to loose track of their pet fairy. There is a nice pond that owners can sit by on our bench and maybe enjoy a good book.

 If you go outside of the fairy enclosure you see a tiny little seating area for any tiresome wizard who wants to sit down with their pet and regain their energy
Go back down the walkway and you arrive at the dragon enclosure, with Tiger, Midnight, Xena, and Henry. The dragon enclosure is a very unique one which is still undergoing construction but is mostly down. The reason this enclosure is unique is because plants grow in the soil and sprout up as fiery botany, which makes the dragons feel warm and ready to take on a new day.
This concludes the first area of our beloved third generation, Pet Sanctuary. Stop by next time to get a tour of the second area of the pet sanctuary, Thanks!

Till Next Time
Happy Wizarding!

Happy New Years! Resolutions Anyone?

Ciao everyone!
Happy New Years everyone!

Ah, yes, new years, the time to sit around the table, set up a pole, dress as an elf, and tell you family all the times they've disappointed you throughout the year...oh wait, is that Festivus?  Oh yeah, new years, the time to make resolutions to fulfill in the year ahead of you, but, sometimes, you never actually do them or you just forget about them!

Just out of fun, I will make new years resolutions, even though, I won't actually do them. I'll try, but in the end it probably won't happen. So, lets start!

This year I've gone through a lot of things:

  • Discovery that I want to be a(n) actor/singer
  • Made a few more friends who are, really important to me (In real life)
  • Learned to focus on my future
  • Got help
So, has Wizard101:
  • Release of.. ZAFARIA!
  • A great year of contests parties and charities
  • Winning awards
  • Wysteria & Waterworks
  • Reaching 20MILLION players!
Now that we've seen what happened through the year, lets see what I want to change in this year:
  •  My look, not plastic surgery or anything, but clothing wise
  • Become a more strong person
  • Discover more about my future
  • Work on acting and singing
  • Make more friends, true friends, not fake one who I won't know after high school
  • Look my age...you know whats funny? When you're an adult, you love it so much when someone says you look young, but as a kid you just want to punch them in a face :D


Till Next Time
Happy Wizarding!

Happy Holidays Cards, My Opinion on "Follow me, follow back", Birthday Review!

Happy Holiday Cards

Knock knock
Who's there?
Mary
Mary who?
MARY CHRISTMAS!

I did this last year, and I decided to do it again this year too, sending out holiday cards! I looked through my contacts and found a lot more Wizard101 players then last year. I found at most twenty-five people, compared to last year having at most five. AND it looks better!


It was kind of based it off of my real life holiday cards, just a bunch of pictures of what happened in the year, of course I couldn't fit ALL of it, that would take a lot of boxes. Wintertusk, Wysteria, new legendary towers, the new Morganthe story-line world (Zafaria), two new epic bundles, and so much more!


This part of my card shows my blog, and how it has progressed through the year, I mean seriously, look at those old posts! Those were hideous! I even made a label for them (Bad Intro Posts) In my opinion, this blog, really helps me, and really changed through the year.


Happy Birthday! This was important to me, first of all, it was a lot of fun, second, I was happy that so many people actually came and supported me on my birthday, and helped me meet a lot of great friends, and that some other people like cheese too.


These last two just show what happened all around the spiral this year, the release of Zafaria, and the entertainment of Wysteria! Where is Wintertusk? I didn't put it in, well because, it was really an official world, just part of one world, but I still loved it!
___________________________________________________

Follow me, follow back
What is this "Follow" thing you're talking about?
Well, I've been getting a lot of comments lately from people asking me to follow them, if they follow me. Well, I've been deleting them and ignoring them, but it's starting to get really bad. Here is something that I found very true on BloggerHelp (Which you can read here) when I first tried blogging.

"This isn't the typical "follow me and I'll follow you!" post. Those kind of followers are meaningless, as usually people who agree are not actually interested in what you have to say, but simply want to boost their numbers."

This was completely true in my mind. So this is something to think about before agreeing to a "follow me and i'll follow you" comments.
____________________________________________________

Birthday Review


My birthday this year was AMAZING! I met a lot of new friends, and had a lot of fun! I think everyone else 
Ostrich love
liked it too, except for one guy who said it sucked and left, but, he came back- they always do....ANYWAY the pick-up area had a lot of people, but when we went to the house, not as many. Appparently when someone is in a school tower, people like to port. 


We arrived at the house and read some "Whoa"s and "Awesome!"s and then went inside. I had a nice stand set out for food and presents, entered by going down a staircase (You can kind see a glimpse of it in the background of the picture to your right), had Reginald the Ostrich running around, a present table, some tables and padded chairs, a mannequin in nice party gear by the music player playing Zafaria Main Theme music (I got a lot of compliments for that!),  and some balloons and boardgames set out, it all looked pretty nice! We all got in and some people still porting from the pick-up came, and then Talon ThunderBlade decided "Hey! Let's dance!" and we got our groove on!




After our quick dance party we got into the giving move (Well sort of) and gave me presents, willingly! Well actually it was more like "GIMME ALL YO CARDS, FOOL!" type of thing but, hey! I still got presents!



OK, I have to say Talon ThunderBlade gave an awesome gift- TWO wyvern hoards! Talon Seagem gave me one which is still AWESOME! The only con to these presents were...I got junk, but hey, it's the thought that counts. The other two presents were from Elijah StormHeart and Talon NightShade giving me some awesome cards! Elijah always gets some awesome storm cards for me. Thanks guys!


I wasn't only recieving, I was giving too. I got behind my counter and announced my contest. My contest was to make a party-spirited outfit! I waited ten minutes for everyone to through something together, and then the winner was announced. The winner was Alex BlueThorn wearing a party hat, a rockin' outfit, and boot of comet. His prize was a piece of pie!


Hope you enjoy that pie!
 After the contest we moved outside to the PvP ring where we soon started up some battles! We first started with a battle that I lost, but it was a 3v2 so, what do you expect!

"Excuses Excuses!"


Shut up. We spent another half hour whipping spells back and fourth (No pun intended) and the final battle, Elijah StormHeart, Sierra Mist and I won! Woo-hoo!






OK, something I noticed when Sirens was casted was, they are the ugliest mermaid I have ever seen. They all look mad and have HUGE eyebrows and horrible lips and huge hair! I mean look to my right, she looks horrible, don't you agree. If you do agree, which one do you think is the ugliest? Tell me in the comments section below!

Mason opens up the doors to Marlybone, Happy Belated Birthday party!

Assistants fellow bonjour!

Mason Opens Up the Doors to Marlybone
Mason beat Krokotopia, and spent a lot of crowns while doing it. Yeah, I got some crowns, and I bought some Krokotopia crowns gear, for him, and future characters. So, back to Krokopatra. I had a struggle (again) with the last few areas. The family tombs, no side quests done, to hard. Ah, that wonderful moment when your lazy, and tired of questing- thats Vanessa for you! Is that you too? Hopefully I'm not alone. So, I started to quest in the Krokosphinx, that was easy- and fun! Then I got the quest for the Vault of Ice- struggled with mana, and then beat The Emperors Retreat. Then I moved to the Tomb of Storms, the quickest in my opinion. I had some struggle with this place too, with the bosses- wanted a partner for help with most of them, mana and health problems, etc. etc. etc. So, when I finished the main quests, I needed to level up one level to wear the Marlybone crowns gear, so I took some side quests- even some from Marlybone's Mayor. So I dinged level 25 and bought my gear! Lets see the awesomeness!!!


..................................................................................................................................................................


Happy Belated Birthday Party!

"BIRTHDAY PARTY?"
Yes, birthday party!!
"SO- SO THERE WILL BE ICE CREAM?"
Uh, sure?
"WOOO!"

But wasn't my birthday on the 23rd last year? Yes, but I was just away- not able to celebrate with my fellow wizards! So now I am going to have a Belated Birthday Party!

Definition
Belated: Having been delayed: done or sent to late.


So lets see the times:




Till' next time
Happy Wizarding!

The Destination of Vanessa EmeraldGlade IV

All of the teachers words were just "Blah blah blahs" to me as I worried about how everything here would turn out. I mean, people now think I’m a wanna-be from a planet I bet they never heard of since they obviously think everyone believes in magic. Maybe this is just how they all act, except for Eva, Jessie and Mason. Eh, at least I have them.
The bell rang, but I just sank into my chair, trying to hide from all the other students. I didn't notice I was sinking off my chair and I fell of the floor. I few people laughed and continued out of the classroom. I squirmed a little and got up and rushed from the class.

I made my way over to our dorm room. In our mailbox was a letter addressed to me. Maybe it's my mom. I grabbed it from the mailbox and ripped it open.

Dear Vanessa,

I need you, Catherine, Rocka and Jessica
to my office in The Commons. Please come
as soon as you get this, it's very important.
Thank you.

Sincerely,
Headmaster Ambrose

I unlocked the door and looked if anyone was in there. By the looks of it, no one was in there, until I say a book. Jessie.

"Jessica?" I asked

"Oh, hello! How was your first lesson?" She asked putting down here book

"Uh," I said thinking about the embarrassment "Nevermind that, I got a letter from the Ambrose that we need to go to his office with Catherine and Eva. Can you help me find them?"

"Oh sure! Eva is in school right now and Catherine is probably waiting for Mason outside the life school. I go get her, you get Eva" She said

"OK" I replied. We both split both ways- she went left and I went right. I passed the storm school and went to the ice schools doors. The building was the same as the storm school except the lightning engravings were icicles. I pushed open the door and walked into the middle of a lesson.

"Excuse me?" I said looking for the teacher

"Over here!" squeaked a tiny little fairy with blue hair, clothes and wings. She looked like my grandma... "Can I help you with something, my dear?"

"Yes," I showed her the letter from the Headmaster "I need Rocka"

She read the letter and then spoke "Oh my, it's time! Good luck!" She squeked

"Uhh.. OK. Come on Eva" I said

She scrambled for her books and hopped over a few chairs and walked out of the classroom with me

"What do we need to do?" She asked

"I don't know, I got a letter earlier that the Headmaster needs Catherine, Jessy, you and I" I explained

"Then where's Catherine?" She asked

"Jessie is getting her... She probably wouldn't listen to me" I said

"Oh, OK" Said Eva. Just then we saw Jessie and Catherine walking over to us

"But I still can go on my picnic with Mason, right?" Asked Catherine

Jessie looked over at her rolling her eyes "Sure. Vanessa, should we go to him now?"

"Yeah" I replied

We walked through the tunnel and into the Commons. The Commons was bustling with students, even more than Ravenwood! Some adults were walking around but the majority of the citizens were probably children. We walked through the gates to Merle Ambrose's house and hopped up the steps and opened the door. The room was really messy with stacks of paper and books, red wallpaper, an engraved desk with potion flasks and enrollment forms, bookshelfs that were holding more than they could carry, and a portrait of the headmaster on the back wall.

"Ah, girls, you made it! I have an important quest for you four. I need you to travel to Krokotopia" Said the Headmaster

"Uhh, Krokotopia?" I asked

"Ugh," said Catherine "does she not know about the other worlds of the spiral? I swear, I should have been chosen for the savior student... not this idiot" She complained

"Catherine just give up already.." Nudged Jessie

"Settle down girls. Vanessa, Krokotopia is another world of the spiral." Explained Ambrose "Malistaire, the former death teacher has traveled to Krokotopia in search of the Krokenamicon, a book the kroks wrote long ago that contains the power of life and death. If he finds it, there's no telling what he could do with that power. That’s where you guys come in, I need you to travel to Krokotopia and defeat Malistaire before he reached the Krokenomicon!" He told us

"Ok, so I just joined the school, and I now have to defeat a teacher that went evil?" I asked "And why did he turn evil anyway?"

"Malistaire became evil when his wife, Sylvia, the former life teacher died. He went into a deep depression and when he came out from his shell, he was furious. He disappeared and a day later, our death school was gone." Explained Ambrose

"OK, sooo what do we have to do?" Asked Eva

"Here," said Ambrose holding out a key "take it and go to Bartleby the Great Tree, tell him I sent you to him and he will tell you guys what to do"

"OK"

We walked out of the building and too Ravenwood and came to Bartleby. Bartleby was an ancient overgrown tree in the center of the school’s campus. We had to yell his name a bit for him to hear us, and then he told us to go into his beard/mouth. Inside was beautiful greenery all aligned and tiny bits of light sneaking between his leaves. We took a step forward and he explained what we had to do

"Take the key to Krokotopia, and put it in the keyhole of the door that stands before you." He explained

We followed his directions and opened up the door. We walked through the doorway and appeared in a Egyptian type of building with statues of lizards and dented stone floors and walls. As we walked in a large lizard in an apron shrieked at the sight of us.

"P-please don't hurt me almighty wizard! Please!" He begged.

"OH MY GOSH!" Squealed Jessie "A MANDER!"

"A mander?" I asked

"Y-yes" said the 'Mander' "We are Manders, the original owners of Krokotopia!" He was kind of funny looking and reminded me of Dobby in Harry Potter.

"Oh, OK," I said "well, we aren't here to hurt you. We need to 'help' you I think?"

"Ugh, no" said Catherine "We're here to defeat Malistaire, not help these filthy peasants- I mean these wonderfully cultured beings."

Eva looked over at Catherine, then back to the mander “Have you seen a man with black nail polish, a big staff, black cloak and about twice the size of me?” She asked

“Actually, yes we manders did see a wizard come here earlier, along with those nosey Marlybonians! They’ve woken the kroks once more and we don’t know how to get rid of them!” Complained the mander

Jessie’s eyes grew big “WE CAN HELP YOU DEFEAT THEM!” She offered

“No we can’t!” Shouted Catherine replying to Jessie’s offering

“Really!” Said the mander with astonishment “Oh, thank you great wizard! You can ask one of the Marlybone officials what to do first, he’s just outside!”

“OK!” said Jessie skipping outside

“Well,” huffed Catherine “We better go follow her.”

“Thank you once again, wizard!” Called the mander “Good luck on your courageous journey!"

We walked outside into a deserty island. The was a large oasis in the middle and bridges connecting chunks of land together.

"Oh, there's one!" Pointed out Jessie. She was so excited, maybe because she has finally gotten to the lands she read about. We walked over to a large dog standing to two back legs and in a french soldier suit. He had excellent posture for a dog, all of them do.

"What ho!" Greeted the dog "Hello young wizards! Are you here for a field trip? Not the best time..."

"No, we're here to find Malistaire before he gets the krokonomican" I explained. He almost had a stroke when I said that, he started panting and breathing heavily, "Is-Is there a probably, sir?"

"Excuse you!" He said disgustingly

"What did I say?" I asked

"Malistaire?" Suggested Eva, though the official just shoke his head, continuing to hyperventalate

"No, idiots" said Catherine "She said krokonomican"

And then the dog fell to the sandy ground, passed out.

Updates, aggiornamenti, Mises à jour, actualizaciones, 更新, Ōku no appudēto?

Hey Hey Hey (It's FAAAATT Albert!)
So you're probably wondering what those words say above me. Well they say: Updates, Updates, Updates, Updates, Updates, Updates much? In the languages that Wizard101 has expanded too.

Onto the topic for today... obviously, UPDATES! Let us see, first update, NEW HEADER! It's not to glorious or grand, but I like it that way. Simply and develops a sense of humor. Second update is, hold onto your seats...*Squeezes eyes shut*.....
Mason defeated the kroks! *Crowd Cheers*.....Of the pyramid. But that pyramid was hard! Usually its easy for me but this time my computer was having its "Moments" For example at the last dungeon (Throne Room of Fire) I was beating up the first guy and then, computer froze. Second attempt: power surge in the middle of the final battle. And then, it happened. Some dude came in the dungeon with me, and I beat it. After days of preparing, I DID IT!  "Days of preparing?" You ask? Yeah, hehe, I wanted to level up, get new gear, and learn the life minion spell. Yes, the dungeon shouldn't be that hard but that was after the first attempt! I hated that dungeon and I couldn't lose again! So I got all the money, leveled my self up, and did the life sprite quest which was, surprisingly easy, and kind of awkward.

Um, excuse me sir, I'm behind you.

*Hands a tissue* Yeah, cold and flu season, eh?
And I got my sprite out in the final battle and- POWER SURGE. I spent a minute saying NOOOOOOO!!
But after a while, I finally beat it and made a new friend, and so did Lucy!



Till next time
Happy Wizarding!

The Destination of Vanessa EmeraldGlade Part III

I woke up to a banging on the door. When I opened it up- no one was there. But as I was closing it I heard a loud energetic voice call out "Wait!" Wondering where the voice came from I stepped out from the doorway and then tripped.

"Oh!" laughed a little plump frog in a purple formal "I'm sorry if I was a bit to small, I usually stand on my desk..." he explained.

"Oh, no, I'm sorry!" I said sticking out a hand "My name's Vanessa EmeraldGlade" He grabbed my hand and I pulled him up

"I know," he said "I am your teacher, Professor Balestrom! Do I need to give a summary of storm?" he asked

"Ohhhh nooo, no. I'm fine!" I replied

"Well, OK! Storm School starts at 10 o'clock! See you soon, Ms. EmeraldGlade!" he shouted as he made his way back a rainy brick building.

I closed the door and turned around to the sight of Catherine standing there with her arms crossed and hip standing out.

"You woke me up. Do you know how important today is?" She asked

"Um, no, I was talking to my new teacher" I said

"Well, today is the day Mason and I go to a private picnic on one of the Olde Town cliffs. So why did you wake me up!" She demanded

"I'm sorry if I did but I didn't mean too. I think you need to go back to sleep" I suggested

"I was until you-"

Suddenly Jessy banged her pillow, trying to make noise "Oh just shut up! Go back to sleep!" she shouted. That got her to stop. She just rolled her eyes and crawled under her covers. I grabbed my Timberland jacket off the hook, opened up the door and closed it.

I walked through the sparkling roads of Ravenwood Academy. I realized that it was a whole lot nicer than my old school. It was like a mini city here, filled with bustling students with folders containing magical papers and documents, flashing lights of students practicing spells in the corners or behind schools and chattery students talking amoungst themselves of every bench. Maybe even the accasional kiss was traded between the two. This place was truely magic, it was a perfect land- until I saw the real thing. The truth to the rumors people have been whispering through the small town- a gaping hole stood before me.

"Woah" I thought to myself. Suddenly a boy came up to me.

"Hey there! Are you the new student?" He asked.

"Yes, who are you?" I asked

"I'm Malorn AshThorn, an old death student, until the school was ripped from the school grounds." He replied

"Wait, the rumors WERE real?" I replied

"Yeah! One year ago Malistaire, the old death teacher, went crazy and disappeared. The day after- the school was gone. It's a mystery, really." He said "I use to be his top student in my mind, so if you want to ever learn some death spells, I can teach you some."

"Oh cool, thanks!" I said and continued on my way

"Hey Vanessa!" shouted a name from behind. I turned around and saw Mason

"Oh, hey" I said

"Why so bummed?" He asked

"I'm not! I'm feel fine!" I replied

"No, you are sad. You said 'Oh hey...' not like 'OH HEY!'" He said and put of a duffie face on

I laughed "I'm sorry, OH HEY MASON!"

"HULLO!" He said. We started to laugh a little bit. Everything was fine- until she walked over. Catherine started to strut down the path of Ravenwood, with a smirk on her face, ready to show how much she loaths me. It was funny to watch how everyone stopped and moved out of the way, I wouldn't be surprised if they all bent down on their knees and prayed they wouldn't be teased.

"Uh, I have to go, I'll see you later Vanessa!" He said rushed ahead and grabbing Catherine's arm and pulled her in the other direction. I think the person I like the most here is Mason, someone you can have fun with and drag away trouble. You could tell he was scared of Catherine. The way he makes nervous smiles and laughs with her and his shakey hands. He looks like a chihuawa getting sprayed with a water from a hose when he's around her.

I finally found came to the front of my school. It was a large brick building with some ingravings of lightning bolts on some walls. It had large wooden doors with a storm cloud plaque in the middle. I pushed open the doors and came to a magical classroom. A class that you could only dream of, oragami dolphins and walls jumped from textbook pages, just popping up and jumping into the next page. Students sitting on their desks and talking while making sparkles in the air with their wands, even some popular girls with makeup supplies enchanted to do the work for them. Chalkboards in the back of the room righting down the lessons as the teacher tries to climb up the bookshelf to reach something (I must remind you, he's a frog). I sat down at a desk in the corner, I always felt more comfortable in the back of the classroom. And pretended to look for something under my desk so no one would see the new girl. Finally the teacher must of found the book because he seemed to of been done climbing on the table and shouted

"Settle down! Rebecca, off the desk, settle down! OK class," he said. I knew what would happen next 'please welcome Vanessa' "I'd like to welcome a new Diviner to the class, Vanessa EmeraldGlade!"

"Hi Vanessa." They said. None of them seemed happy, how could they not? They're learning magic!

"Vanessa is from a different planet, that doesn't believe in magic." He said. He shouldn't on said that.

Someone raised their hand "Um, then why is she here." he said

"Well, the headmaster and the faculty decided we needed someone special to help us with something" He explained

"So you got someone with NO EXPERIENCE?" Shouted out a girl.

"Just forget it, now onto todays lesson...." He said

Everyone looked at me with disgusted faces. Maybe this school wasn't exactly a paradise...

Sneak Peek #3- lots to discuss with this one photo!


That right above me is the third of the AMAZING pictures we are getting from Kingsisle and their new content. They releasd this picture to a post found on this link. Wow- this one gives us a lot of things to talk about! This picture shows a lot of items I am interested about- first a new outfit and wands- shadoweb creatures- and what looks to be some sacred temple. Not only that but we get ANOTHER coded message at the top. Apparently these messages tell us what the plot/idea they are doing for this world.


Something I am curious about in this picture is....WHERE THE HECK ARE WE? If you saw the last teasers we were at a dock and then a gorilla village- and now a castle?

It can't be underwater since we are on the ground- so maybe a shadow-web cave? I really have no idea where Kingsisle is going with this, so you know what that means? A surprise!

Codes translated by Katherine LightWielder and Kevin BattleBlood-

First code: In the depths
Second code: On top of the world
Third code: find her here

Till next time
Happy Wizarding!

Sneak Peek #2, Kingisle's Youtube Videos-Spoilers, Wizard101 Wallpaper


Here is an image that Kingisle realeased to Zam, who later posted it speaking of a coded message...I TOLD YOU THAT MESSAGE ON THE LAST ONE SAID SOMETHING! One connected word, "Boo-Yah".
So it seems that this world will be a jungle. I guess Nicholas Lionrider was right! Maybe Kingsisle was inspired by his concept arts for the animals on "Zebrifica"

In the last spoiler (Left) shows Elephants and maybe a possible boat ride? Could this be where Oni's are from? I don't think that anymore from the newest photo. But Wizard101 needs a way to tie this world of elephants, gorilla's and [Unknown] with the Morganthe storyline cause I bet some players will be unhappy to get very excited- just to be let down with ANOTHER side world. (Unless this storyline is ~Amazing~)
___________________________________

I was looking through old Wizard101 commercials on their youtube page and found some noticeable things. After I discovered my first I started looking for more- maybe Kingisle hid some items, they do like to do that sometimes. The first one shows a new housing item- or maybe old.
This picture is in one of the decorate your house videos they made, at the end it shows this archway thing. I'm not sure if it's new or old because the pillars holding it are already in the game. Is this real/fake?

 Here is something I saw in the "How does your garden grow" commercial- the garden is fake! It is just dirt piles with Jade Lotus'. Just wanted to share this!
This video which was posted on December 8th, shows the golem pet. This pet wasn't noticed in time for it to be the talk of the spiral. It funny that no one noticed it. But eh, it's now buyable in Digmoore Station.

_______________________________________

Lately my mom told me I have to paint my room- and since I don't like many colors I had an AWESOME idea! Wallpaper it with Wizard101. Oh yeah. YOU'RE JUST JEALOUSSSSSS! So I've been getting some pictures from magazines and my drawings and making sort of a collage.

Can you find the new drawings?
How do you like it? Got any suggestions of what else I should add? I got the rest of a room to fill!

Till next time
Happy Wizarding!
