Ugh

Ugh, sometimes, I hate making mistakes.
For my school basketball team, I messed up badly today. We have six teams: Reserved C, Reserved B, Reserved A, JV, and Varsity.  It goes from 'less experienced' to 'experienced' respectively. Right now I'm either on the Varsity/JV team (they haven't picked our exact teams yet but organized our practices by who they think will make what) and I'm worried they might move me off the team. I did today's practice bad. I messed up the drills, but I knew myself that I had the potential to be better. I know I was not doing my best today, but when I'm around people that are better than me, it makes me nervous. That's what happened today at practice. Honestly, I'm thinking about quitting. I really don't want to cause my team to lose right now. Also, I don't know if basketball will really affect school this year, as I've really only played for Boys and Girls club in the past. That's a different story. I need to let out all my thoughts to you guys because my friends online are really intelligent, unlike the majority of people at my school. Should I quit? I don't feel like I'm good enough after everything today, and our Coach saw my mistakes. Even if I got moved down to the 'less experienced' team it would motivate me to quit. I hate making these kind of mistakes because my mind doesn't take things easily. I'll worry over the smallest things. 
Just, if you're reading this, give some advice? I feel weird asking this. I just need to know what I should do. 

Rare Book of Spells and Haunted Forest Party Secrets

Hi everyone!
Today I'm finally back for another update post with a new schedule. Hopefully this time I will be able to stick around every day again.
Anyways, today is Monday, and that means another RIM is in stores. Today's is the Rare Book of Spells!

Secondly, I'm going to share with you some secrets about the Haunted Forest party. More than likely, you'll know them. But these are just fun things you can do there. 
First of all, if you remain in 'the mist' (I'm making a Stephen King reference there...) you'll turn into a ghost.

The next secret here is about the bats. Not as many people know about this. If you click on the full moon, a ton of bats will come flying down.

That's all of the secrets I'll be talking about for now!
I hope you all enjoyed the post today. Also, I've decided that I'll generate the winner of the giveaway tomorrow. It'll take a few minutes, and right now, I don't really have that much time.
Anyways, until next time, goodbye!

A New Start and Schedule

Okay, you're probably thinking, "uhh why is this guy returning after such a long time". First of all, I've had to adjust to basketball practice every day for the past few weeks. It's been pretty hard this school year. I was actually getting back into posting until basketball season. I lost my schedule again. Now, I have yet another new schedule to follow, and I really want to make sure I stick to it. This schedule includes posting. So, from now on, you can expect posts, just as long as I don't procrastinate! (I think that's my least favorite word in the world at this point lol.)
Also, the 3 year giveaway ended. I am going to randomly generate a winner tonight. 
I have to go now, but I'll be back later. Until then, bye!

Language Glitch

I was just editing my den, and boom. This happened. (Also, yeah, this is the most straightforward intro ever)

Returning Boarded-Up Window + New Brick Item Idea

Hi guys! 
Today is Saturday and I have a bunch of things to post about. But first, before we get to them, here is the new item in stores today. It can be purchased at Jam Mart Furniture and continues the Halloween theme of items. 

Now, while I was at Epic Wonders, I came up with an idea. You see, there are only three types of brick available there: Gold, Silver and Bronze. What if there was a Diamond Brick? It would look like the ones below, but made completely out of diamond. I'm assuming it would cost diamonds, too.

I think it would be a cool item to collect. 
Anyways, that's all I have for today's update post! Stay tuned because I have more posts coming. Information on the giveaway will be released soon, too. Until my next post, though, this is goodbye.

Giant Phantom, Ghostly Items and Phantom Resemblances

Hola people of Jamaa!
Eww, I hate using those cringey intros; especially when they're so cheerful and happy. But you know what? I can't think of anything better right now lol.
So, today, I've been retaking a math test. Yep. I'm actually starting to like math. The concept of it is- well, interesting. It's just cool to figure out how everything works. I'm only retaking the latest math test because my mistakes were so stupid on it. If I would've subtracted properly and added a simple starting value, it'd would've been an A. Sometimes, my mind forgets the simplest things, but remembers stuff from 7+ years ago.
In stores today there are two new items. In Outback Imports there is the returning Giant Phantom. Over at the infamous Diamond Shop, there is a new set of Ghostly Items I never noticed before. They've been out for a while, though I think the Ghostly Window was just released today.

Lastly, at the Phantom Vortex, I noticed a pattern. I'm sure some of you have seen it before, but it's one of the things I've been oblivious to my whole life. The patterns on the floor in the Phantom Vortex create phantoms.

Cool, isn't it? I always enjoy finding some hidden features across Jamaa.
So... I'm going to end this post now. I'll be back tomorrow with more posts. It's finally Friday tomorrow, although I don't really care about days anymore. They go back so fast I don't think they matter. 
Anyways, yeah, that's all for this post. Goodbye people!

3 Year Anniversary of The Animal Jam Spring

Hey everyone!
By the title of this post, I'm guessing you'll know what I'm going to talk about. The Animal Jam Spring's first post was on October 10th, 2014, and that was also the day I created the blog. That date is coming up again- meaning that my blog has been around for three years. This is honestly a huge accomplishment and I'm very happy for my blog. All these years I've had so many supporters, friends and viewers. Everyone has really contributed to my original wish of becoming a blogger. And guess what? It came true. I'm glad you all still read my blog, even if it isn't as great currently.
Now, the question is, should I host a party? I'm leaning towards no right now, but plan on having a giveaway. I think the Giveaway is a better idea.
I'm going to end this post now. Make sure to tell me what you think I should do in celebration of the three year mark! Until next time, goodbye.

Returning Scary Organ

Hey guys!
I won't have time to make a real update post today, so I'll just be posting the new item. Tomorrow, I don't believe I'll have as much to worry about, so I should be able to post. Anyways, here is the new item!

True Stuff

Jack O' Lantern Wall Sticker and Default Den Pathway Hidden Feature

GUESS WHO MIGHT BE BACK TO REGULAR POSTING?
Yeah, me.
I haven't even been posting regularly for so long, and just making this update post feels good. I honestly feel like I will be able to post again more often now if I stick to the tight schedule.
Just to point this out, I've noticed how horrible the views on this blog are. It had so much more potential, but when I really let it go back around early August, it lost views. I don't really care about them anymore, and I'm only here again to log the history of Animal Jam/provide interesting posts.
Now, on with the post. The new item today is Halloween themed and can be purchased in Jam Mart Furniture!

I just recently saw something in the default den that I never noticed before. I swear that it wasn't thee before, but I could be wrong. Look at the pathway. Did you ever notice the stones were colored? I don't remember them being that way and I just realized this.

I find this cool and weird at the same time. How did I never notice? 

I'm going to end this post here. Hopefully you all enjoyed it! I'll be back next time.

New Homescreen

Phantom Vortex 2017

Hi guys!
Today, I will be showing you a little guide to the Phantom Vortex, and one of the prizes available in the 2017 season. 
First of all, you'll have t head to one of these portals in Jamaa. This one in particular is at the very bottom of Jamaa Township near Jamaa Derby.

While at the Phantom Vortex, click on the Game Icon to play.

Make sure to use your torch to send phantoms into portals. This will help you win. Each level gets harder as more phantoms spawn in. 
After I played it this year, this was the prize I got:

I think there are other prizes. We'll just have to see!
That's all I have for this post. I hope it helped. Until next time, goodbye!

Penguin's Posting Tutorial for the "Scholars"

Hey people of Jamaa- or Club Penguin- honestly, I can't remember what game I play these days (just kidding, don't worry). I haven't been able to post for yet another Saturday. Saturdays are becoming one of the busiest days of my week now. I've been reading a lot, writing a lot, and going to the gym on Saturdays. It takes up the whole day. So how am I going to start making sure I'll post on the weekends? I need to do them first thing in the morning, or as early as possible. Also, from now on, I'm going to start posting when I get home from school. As long as I don't procrastinate on the computer, I'll be fine. This is my posting tutorial for any Animal Jam bloggers that care about school and want to post as much as they can. Get them done first thing. If you have a lot of homework, do it right after school. You see, I have to go to Boys and Girls club, so it gives me less time in the afternoon to actually be on the computer. 
I have to go now. It's getting late for me. I'll see you all later!
