Revisiting my Childhood

 

The Animal Jam Cruise Ship: 2013-2016... 2022

    I'm sure this post will be like speaking into the void, but this blog - and the game Animal Jam - was a significant part of my childhood. 

 I started this blog in 2013 at the age of ten as a kid who wanted to share with the world my favorite game. Which was, of course, Animal Jam. It's safe to say I was a big fan of virtual worlds. At that age, I didn't have very many friends - so the computer was my escape. As were reading and writing, passions I carry to this day.

    Through this once vibrant community, I made many online friends. Even now, I'm inspired to write this post by a friend I had named Neros1234, creator of the Animal Jam Potato. In 2020, Neros wrote a final post. Moving into 2023, I feel compelled to do the same. I cherish the memories I had here - this blog is a relic of my childhood. I recently logged into my account again, "londonpie," after who knows how long. 

Man -  the nostalgia is serious!

    Looking back, I feel like this blog and Animal Jam were huge inspirations for my current trajectory in life! Allow me to introduce myself - my name is Anna. I'm a creative writer (science fiction anybody?), maybe not exactly avid, but I enjoy writing. I'm in college, studying biology and focusing on ecology (hoping to become a researcher!!)

    I've lost touch with a lot of the people I once knew, but looking at the view counter, I've reached over 70,000 views! Since I've been gone, this blog has reached more and more people, who have all hopefully had as much fun with Animal Jam as I have. I'm not even sure where the cruise ship idea came from - but I sure embraced it. 

This blog is a look into who I was as a kid, all my quirky ramblings and thoughts. So, think of it as an archive of a part of my childhood! Unique in this internet age.

Thank you for the memories.

If you want to keep in touch, leave a comment below (nevermind the rules lol). I have Discord, if you're interested; and do play games on Steam. That is, if you've somehow found this on the vastness of the internet.

Wishing you a happy new year - and safest travels on your next cruise!

A secret den?.... AJ News Flash

Hey guys! I am on thanksgiving break because I live in United States. It is now Sunday and it is over tomorrow :(

Anyway, AJ posted a new blog post about winning 5 diamonds from an epic den. That may sound normal, but the picture on top of the post showed an unreleased den.

This den is probably one of the most cool looking.. in my opinion. I assume it will come out when AJ updates again. Christmas stuff is also making a comeback, so this is probably part of AJ's 'holiday update'.

The Arctic Fox has been released as well ^.^

They are so cute :3

I know this is a short post, but this has just been a News Flash. This is Londonpie reporting with the the Animal Jam Cruise Ship....

Don't forget to Jam On!!

The day after Independence Day!

Hey Jammers! I made my promise posting TWICE  today, and I am! First off, the reason for the title is not only that yesterday was American Independence Day, and well, I happen to live in America, and that was a celebration for me! All I saw was a firework show, nothing big. Apart from yesterday, today there is a loose amount of updates that I couldn't come up with a specific title for, as Animal Jam has failed to release any items at all in Jam Mart Clothing/Furniture.
   
            The first update is the addition of the Llamas, a week ago.
                         

Unfortunately, I am suspended until (hopefully) tomorrow, so I can not get one :( 

Plus, I don't have 10 diamonds, I have 8! When I get 10, I believe I will name my llama Fauna Clevergirl. *sigh* I got suspended from a false report :\

The second update is about a new store, releasing Topiary bushes  in Sarepia Forest! Yay! I thought they were gone for good when they left the Museum Shop in Appondale.

I wish there was one for Non Members, because I could buy it on my backup account! (The one I have been using the past few days.) I think they should start adding the newer Animals.

And last but not least, sold in Epic Wonders..........

The majestic RUBY BIRTHSTONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Geez, that's expensive. I could afford it on my main, but still, that's expensive. I need to get one because my birthday is in July....

Well, anyway, have some great Jamming this evening, and remember to JAM ON! See you next time :)

(Also- any fans wanting to buddy me may do so, and feel free to send in questions by Jam a Gram, on my ask page, or ask me to meet you somewhere in Jamaa and we can chat!)

Animal Jam Blogging.

It seems like EVERYBODY's starting to loose interest in AJ blogging...

My friend Snowypaw,

My friend Mimi5000,

and me.

But I'm coming back. So is my friend Mimi, she came back with Animal Jam Newspaper. I certainly recommend it, check it out here.

I would like it if Snowy made a return on her blog (posted more often), the Animal Jam Frost.*(I keep linking blogs so I can help my friends). If you could give her a kind word of encouragement, that would mean a lot! Give her a comment, promote her blog, or follow her on social media! (links on her blog). I've been starting to play Animal Jam more recently, if you may have noticed. The only problem is that I am suspended until Tuesday or Monday... so I am playing on my backup, LondonpieBackup.
As for me, I am making another post today, and possibly a new video  on my channel! Except my editor expired.........  if you want my youtube expect less before my birthday on July 22 (I am getting a new Laptop).

If you live in the U.S, hope you had a great fourth of July yesterday!!

Jam On!

Posts from the dead

I just want to say, I feel absolutely TERRIBLE. I have a cold and it is getting a bit bad :(
So, I decided to post today. Sorry guys- I have mostly given up on this blog. Plenty of cool new things are  going on in my life. I wish I could share em' all with you guys. I have hope in any fans who have stayed here. :)
Just know that you're never alone. When I don't get on to posting, I check the blog, update it, and try to at least put effort  into a post...which no matter how much effort I put into posting...  it doesn't work out. Partly is because of my addiction to MovieStarPlanet and school. I try to stop playing MSP, but it is soooooooooooooooooooooooooo fun :) And addicting :\

Jam On!

Bouncy Party and also FIVE NIGHTS AT GILBERT'S

Hi it's neros1234, back for another post! Sup! Um and today I will be showing a video:

SIR GILBERT=FREDDY! Okay, now it's time for Animal Jam stuff. Have you been to the new Bouncy Party?

 It's really cool!! There are bounce houses all over the place. Also slides!

It's so cool!!! They finally have a party where all you do is bounce. Here's one of the green bounce houses:

OH YEAH! LEET SKILLS! (you actually don't have to do anything to bounce :D) Also- Your PET can bounce!!

Yep! That's right, ladies and gentlemen! For a limited time only you can get the all new, patent-pending JUMPING DUCK™! It's your very own deluxe yellow-and-blue duck that will bounce! And bounce! And that's about it! Get yours TODAY!




Well that was exciting! Anyway, I'm gonna go now. Peace out!

Lucky day items, Rare Hat and Curly Wigs, and more!

Hi jammers! Londonpie here! And today I bring you a new post about many things including Jamaa's RIM, which is the Rare Curly Wig. I also met a fan of mine, who had a very interesting question about a retired item from the diamond shop. And as for new items, Lucky Day items have just started to be released in Jam Mart Clothing and Jam Mart Furniture. To begin, here's the Rare Hat and Curly Wig. (not to be confused with the ultra-fancy-super-duper-girly wig in Jam Mart Clothing!)

This item is sold for 750 gems, and compared to the basic NM version, this item is a lot more expensive, and obviously for members. 

And, now for an amazing look by the fabulous Arctic wolf, Juniper...

Crowds are SHOCKED at how fabulous this dog is! Fans are screaming at her so they can get an autograph!

Erm, now for the Lucky Day items & a short summary of Jamma's updates.

The clover blanket, and clover tie are the newest items in Jamma's clothing store. Also, the lucky bench is the newest furniture item! In Jamaa, the newest update is the pet ponies. 

They are so cute ^.^ I only have 1 diamond, though.

Also, you might want to get yourself a snow leopard before they leave on March 5th! Which is pretty close!

Now, for a special fan named Wolfiegirl57944 ....

She asks: What are the rarity of Wind Gauntlets? 

Let's find out below!

I'd have to say, I think Wind Gauntlets are worth about another piece of the wind armor, another retired Diamond Shop clothing item (non rare spike, non rare wrist etc...) or some small rares such as older Rare Item Mondays, fox hats, rare bows, etc. It really all depends on the person you send the trade to. Hope I helped Wolfiegirl! If anybody else has an AJ question, Jam a Gram me :)

A lot of stuff I need to go over

Hey everyjammer! It's me Londonpie here again, for one of those posts... yes... another explanation post. I really need to talk about this, and I hope everybody takes this seriously. It's important information you might want to know about. Just going to put it out there for everyone. Every paragraph will be titled. So, first off...

           Why I haven't been posting and schedules for authors

 Yes, yes, yes... it's always the same story. "I'm busy" etc. But the truth is just that. There's more to it though. I have been playing a game recently called Moviestarplanet, you may have heard of it. It's sort of like Animal Jam, but you have a human character and you can do other things on it. I have to admit, it's VERY addicting but also fun. My username is Girl in the white gown. Here's my profile

                                         

My MSP character.

Also, I was wondering if any of the blog authors/readers on here play it. If you do, comment your name below. Alright, for the schedule I really haven't worked one out, so it depends. If I am not posting on a day you are available, go ahead and post. I might be hosting a competition for people to enter and MAYBE become an author here on AJCS. The blog post about this competition will be found on my competition blog, which the link can be found on the right hand side of this blog.

                             Animal Jam and other pointers

     Animal Jam has been VERY VERY laggy for me, since I usually play it in Fire Fox. I have now fixed my problem by clearing my cache and can play it in Chrome... but it still sometimes gets laggy. As you may have noticed, there has been a lack of AJ posts- and this is the first one in a while. I will try to post more often but that may or may not happen. Now, as you know, I have missed quite a lot in Jamaa and everything below will be about AJ.

                                           New items for the up coming friendship festival:

                                 

The only new item that is not returning is the rose tiara. Grab your buddies and head to the party! I also would like to mention the new animals coming soon:

Owls! The puzzle in the last Jamaa journal revealed that owls would soon be coming to Jamaa.

I hope you enjoy my return, and feel free to hit up some questions in the comments! C:

(P.S- Be sure to check out the page view count on the sidebar of the blog -10,000! - and use the cool new JAGs in Jamaa to message your friends!)

                         

           

                                                   

Elf Hats and Day 2 of the Jamaalidays!

Hi guys. Today there is 1 new item and like always, a Christmas gift. The new item is a Jolly elf hat, while the daily gift is a secret....... SHHHH! Don't spoil it. On AJ, this new gift isn't going to run away as fast as it can- it will surely stay put strung up on it's string on the wall. Can you guess? Let's take a look at the new item first and then the gift will be revealed by Mira. Look at this Jolly old elf hat and think about all the fun you could have dancing around with your friends.

                                                           

But apparently when anything with ears sticking out wears this it has two sets of ears! So I recommend wearing this with a penguin or seal/otter instead of a wolf, arctic wolf or any other animal with it's ears sticking out. They look great on penguins. Anyway, they are only 200 gems so they are not a waste of your gems entirely. 

Here's a little sneak peek at the cute little comic on the DE! You should really go check it out.

Comment time: Without going to the DE, what do you predict will happen next after Cosmo's reindeer are ready? (don't spoil it for others if you already have seen this). It's almost time for the Jamaaliday gift to be revealed.... but, we have some very important news which can also be found on today's daily explorer post!

You can enter yourself into the contest to have your animal featured in the AJ comic!

Here's how:

(copied from dailyexplorer.animaljam.com)

1. Draw your best JAMAALIDAY themed picture. It can include your favorite gifts, clothing, or items, that celebrate the Jamaalidays!!!

2.  Submit your drawings to JAMMER CENTRAL located in JAMAA TOWNSHIP

Two simple steps! To learn more, click here.

Alright! It is now that time you've all been waiting for!

Drum roll please!

It's a Gingerbread Garland!

Here's what it looks like in my den!!

I tried to fit it in.... but it looks like it's a bit too big for my den space. I make it work though!

Jam On Jammers!

                                

Happy Jamaalidays! - Day 1

Howdy, Jammers! Londonpie is back online :) and today, it was the first day of the Jamaalidays and every jammer who logged on got a gift. There are also some new items popping up in the shop, so also take a look there! I also hope you like the changes I made to the blog for the holidays. I couldn't find a file size small enough for blogger until I found the Arctic Wolf background as I was google  searching for images. Thank you Neros1234 for posting.
                                             
                                            On the first day of Jamaalidays, Mira gave to me.. a Christmas gift shaped hedge....
                                                                     
                                                                   

Merry early Christmas!

                   And a bird inside a den!!

                  I had some issues with that last line, oops! 0.0 

                                      

       Well, anyway here are some of the items popping up around Jamaa, like the old gifts from Christmas past in the diamond shop.

Sadly,  I don't have any diamonds or a AJ membership. I am thankful for what I have, though. I could just hope I get lucky on the daily spin.

                 

                                 Also, check out the new winter items in the Jam mart clothing store.

Also, these are for members. They are from last year, which I hope AJ would make them for all members.

Jam on! And happy Jamaalidays!!

Semi-new items!

Hey jammers! Neros1234 here. I hope you have been enjoying AJCS without me! Yeah, I know, most of you will be like "Who?" I am a contributor to this blog that hasn't contributed to this blog since MAY...I'm such a bad person. Here are all the new items that you missed!

Nice!! Salon and autumn themes. Those don't really go together, but all right! In other news, POLAR BEARS have come to Jamaa!! They're so cute!

They can go underwater, too! ZOOM!!! Okay, that's probably not what they do but whatever! And guess what! If you redeem a gift card before the end of the year, you get A CUTENESS OVERLOAD!! GAAAHHHH!!

Tell your parents/grandparents/aunts/uncles/guardians? to get you a gift card for Christmas (if you celebrate it) because pet polar bears are just TOO CUTE!!! That seems to be all that's new for right now. Oh! And all gloves in the Diamond Shop are half off for a short time! Too bad they're not nonmember for a limited time. All right, bye!

Trick Or Treat Buckets, and more bone-chilling news

Happy Halloween, my fellow jammers! Londonpie is here... and actually back. Welcome back if you are reading, and please share this with friends. As you know, Halloween is near, and in AJ, that means it's time to celebrate the night of the phantoms. To kick off the day's post, here are six exciting costume ideas for just about every jammer.
                                                   

And the good thing is that they are all for Non Members... and just ask me if you want the item formulas, or any other information. Just don't copy this image!

Alright, today's new item is a Trick-or-treat bucket found in Jam Mart clothing.... and if you can see, it is clearly one of the few NM items found in the clothing store. I just wish AJ made more NM items. *sigh*

I was looking forward to an item like this anyway! Below is my rating....

Awesome: 10/10

Originality: 6/10

Design: 7/10

Maybe AJ should make a bit better quality items? 

That's all, jammers! :) Come back for more!

Bulky Phantoms

Hello Jammers! The Golden Bulky Phantom is now available in the Diamond Store perfect to celebrate The Night Of The Phantoms which is coming to Jamaa very soon!

Does anyone remember when this was a monthly member gift? Speaking of the Night Of The Phantom there is a brand new Gem Code to celebrate! Enter 'Spooky' when you log into Jamaa for a 500 Gem bonus! Have you got the Night Of The Phantoms spirit? 

Jamaas most trickiest game, Sky High, is on Double Gems! Are you good at Sky High? Remember to check back soon as another game will be on Double Gems!

I love Autumn,don't you? The leaves are going brown the weather is getting cooler which means, Autumn has arrived in Jamaa and Jamaas spooky celebration Night Of The Phantoms is approaching! Have you got the Night Of The Phantoms spirit? 

That's about it for today's post! Happy Jamming!

What you missed

"Three words, eight letters, so difficult to say.

They're stuck inside of me, they try and stay away.

But this is too important to let them have their way.

I need to do it now, I must do it today.

I am sorry."

Hello Jammers! Londonpie here...... Sorry I uhh didn't post... I was. 

Uh,

Sorry?

Jammers, you know I have been saying this and It's not time to go. I think I need "Blogging Rehab" to get on my schedule, plus school has started and I get out REAAAAAAAAALY late. (Check AJCS time when it says 4:30 PM, that's when I get out of school.)

So, to start out with the day's post, here are the furniture items you missed from this week to last week, if you haven't been checking out AJ.

The Eqyptian Set has come to Animal Jam, and it seems to have finished, so you'll have to look and see for more furniture items and clothing items in the shops.

So far, I'd give this set a rating of 6/10.

It's shiny, but really members-only in terms of looking at those items, only 2 or 3 of them are NM,

Here, now look at the clothing items of the day, and what you missed:

This "Epic" Hat is found in Epic Wonders, So to speak.

The Fez is the newest item in Jam mart clothing.

That's just about it for "New" items.

But, if you'd like, be sure to get the sugar gliders in the Pet Shop in the Diamond Shop.

....Then Again, That's all for today!
