Pink Attack!

Hello Jammers! So today i was getting onto AJ, and it was taking fooorrrrreeeevvvveeeerrrr to load! But when i got to Jamaa Township, i found out the reason.
There were people everywhere! And they were all pink!
It was really weird. They said they were supporting cancer awareness. I think that's really nice that they care so much:) But then people started arguing. Some people, me included, thought that purple shows awareness too. Others thought it was only pink. I tried to explain that pink supports awareness of only 1 type of cancer, whereas purple supports awareness of ALL cancers. No one would listen to me:( Oh well. It's the thought that counts:)

I'm back!

Hey everyone! Looks like i made it through Frankenstorm safe and sound! The power didn't even flicker:) I just wanted to say that hopefully i will be posting more often now that sports are over! Also, i'm thinking about making a Halloween contest! Check back later for details!

Gone:(

Hey everyone. I want to apologize for not posting anything in a while. Hopefully now that sports are done, i can post more often!
But probably not for the next few days. For those of you on the East Coast, you know about Hurricane Sandy, or "Frankenstorm" as they call it. And, of course, Maryland is gonna be hit pretty hard. So, i don't know if i'll be able to post for a while. Just bear with me!
And, if i can't say this on Wednesday, HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!!!

Sorry:(

Hey everyone. Just so you know, i couldn't come to my party because my internet was down because of thunderstorms. I'm so sorry i couldn't make it, and if you send me a Jam-A-Gram with the Password on it, i will still send you a gift. Sorry again!

My Other Blogs!

Hello Jammers!
I'm a busy person, but i also have 2 other blogs!
You should check them out sometime! (They're not about AJ though)
Amy's Jewelry: http://amysjewelryco.blogspot.com/
Really Cool Awesome Randomness: http://reallycoolawesomerandomness.blogspot.com/

I think they are pretty good. The first one shows how to make jewelry, and the 2nd is just me being random and talking about my life. (The second one comes with a free ferret and wolf pet!)

My Anniversary!

Hey everyone! I was just thinking that around this time last year, i joined AJ!
Ok, i just went and checked, and TODAY is my anniversary! Creepy, right? Wow i'm a good guesser:)
Anyways, i'm really happy to have found AJ and started this blog. It's nice to share my knowledge with you, and i really enjoy AJ. I hope that i'll still be on AJ next year for my 2nd Anniversary!
Hmmm, i think this calls for a celebration....but i'm having a party soon....

Ok, from now on, the Trading Party will be renamed the Anniversary & Trading Party!

New Pawsome Jammer!

It's a new month.... so you know what that means! The newest Pawsome Jammer is...(drumroll)....

SO head on over to the Pawsome Jammers page to read more about her!

P.S.- Leilarose's (and Hiblahblahblah's) birthday is coming up! So if you see her around, be sure to say Happy Birthday!

AJ Birthday Cake Secret!

Hey Jammers! I was perusing the AJ blogs on my Other AJ Blogs page, and i decided to visit Animal Jam Rapids, by Trickertree!
There i read about a secret regarding the AJ 2nd Birthday Cake!

If you click the 4th blob of frosting, something AWESOME happens!

I'll leave you to find out:)

Note: Thanks to Trickertree for showing me this cool secret!

Fun Times!

Hola mes amigos! I was bored today, so i decided to have a little fun! So i went to Jamaa Township and started talking to people in Spanish! I only knew a few phrases, "Me gusta pollo" (I like chicken), "me gusta el sacapuntas" (i like the pencil sharpener), and "me hablo slovakian" (i speak Slovakian). But it was still fun to see people's reactions! After a while, someone came to Jamaa Township who actually spoke Spanish, and they started talking to me. I couldn't understand them, so eventually i just shouted "Inodoro limpio" (toilet cleaner) and left. I came back a little while later and spoke in French, which i'm actually sort of fluent in. But i had a pretty fun time!
Want to make people think you speak a different language?
Here are a few simple steps to follow!
1. Find a place where there are lots of people! (Ex. parties, Jamaa Township, and Epic Den...)
2. Open another window and set up Google Translate*, so you can quickly translate things in and out of the language you are "speaking"!
3. In your Google Translate* window, type in funny phrases, like "shoe laces", "potato salad", "pretty ponies", or maybe even "rainbow yummy gummy bears"!
4. In your Animal Jam window, shout out these phrases (translated into your language of choice) to people!
5. Observe their reactions! Make funny faces! Hop around in a circle! The choices are endless!

Experiencing problems with this joke?
Here are common problems!
1. Someone thinks i have insulted them! What do i do?
    -Calmly tell them what you really said. This can kind of ruin the joke, but you can always go somewhere else and start over again.
2. People are accusing me of lying! They think i am not really speaking the language! What do i do?
    -This one is a little tricky. There really isn't a way to prove that you are actually speaking the language, unless you translate it word for word for the person. But don't worry, you are NOT lying! You are actually speaking the language!
3. I can't translate what someone said to me! Help!
    -Sometimes people say things to you back. They might actually know the language and might expect you to converse with them. But don't worry. If Google Translate* can't translate it (this happens sometimes), then just shout something random and leave. Works every time!

* Google Translate is a program that lets you type in a word or phrase and it will translate it to the language you chose. This is a really nifty tool, and it comes with many different language options. You can get to it by typing "translate" into google and clicking the first thing that pops up.


Note: AMY'S ANIMAL JAM NEWS IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS. IF YOU CHOOSE TO INSULT PEOPLE, THAT'S NOT MY PROBLEM!
Thanks:)

Amy's AJ News Trading Party!

Tarantulas!

Hey everyone! I'm so excited about the new pet tarantulas! I got one as soon as i logged on! I really like them, they are very cute but also cool. I totally embarrassed myself in Jamaa Township today because i didn't know why everyone's spider was glowing! Eventually i found out that it was something you buy at the pet shop! I didn't get one for my spider, because i like him/her the way he/she is! (I don't know if it's a boy or girl!) He/She is black with purple stripes!
I also love what the spiders do when you click on them! They spin a web-trampoline and do flips and stuff while bouncing on it! I personally think the graphics were well done on AJ's part! It looks natural, as natural as a spider doing flips on a trampoline can be!
