Yeah, YOU!
And YOU! Quit ranting about that duel to that little boy! Come and take a seat!
And YOU! Stop kissing your boyfriend and get over here!
AND YOU! CORWIN, STOP CRYING AND TAKE A SEAT!
I think that's--
HEY! DON'T YOU DARE WALK AWAY FROM ME RACHEL! YOU ARE NOT GOING OFF TO TRY AND SOLO THE EMPEROR'S RETREAT! UGH! MISS LOTUSBLOSSOM HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TRIED TO TELL YOU...
*ahem*
Anyw-- I SAID, LIPS OFF OF YOUR BOYFRIEND! Ugh! Disgusting! Just LEAVE! We don't have time for this!
UGH! EEEEEWWWWWW!
Anyway, everyone here who is under level 20, get lost.
Amy: Oh THANKS, so called "BEST FRIEND!"
Corwin: Alia! How could you! I'm one of your best friends and--
Fiona: Ugh. Let's just leave.
Elizabeth: Yeah, we should get lost.
*sigh* FINALLY!
We all need to stop and think about...
No offense to all who have left this meeting but...
We need to think about our "NOOB" days.
Do we think about it a lot?
No.
Do some people ignore the past?
Yes.
And do our Noob days still live on, in our hearts?
For some, No.
We all need to think back. Way back. Back to when we first saw that commercial, heard those recommending words from a friend, or anything else that got us to find Wizard101.
It's creepy, I remember exactly where I was when that commercial was playing on my screen.
I was at my grandma's house, December 2008. Alex and I were watching Spongebob. I was sitting on the tan leather recliner on the left side of the huge, spacious living room. The TV had many ads on. And then, I saw a blue crystal ball on the screen.
The television zoomed out. I saw a face inside of the crystal ball, an owl, and an elderly man that appeared to be a Wizard.
"Who will save Wizard City?" the owl spoke.
"This may be the one!" the old man said in a hoarse tone.
"But they'll have to be brave!" the owl exclaimed.
I perked up. I was obsessed with Harry Potter, and this looked a lot like it. I was excited and interested.
The most interesting creatures rolled across the screen.
"They'll face many creatures," the man continued.
Many more creatures appeared, and both characters spoke. Finally, a few people appeared on the screen. I saw a girl with purple pigtails, and a long, tall Witch's hat. And then, a scary man appeared. His face was frightening. And then, as I saw the word "WIZARD101" the man ended with the phrase," If they are to defeat the greatest threat of all."
4 months later, I remembered to check out the site. It's all history from there.
Aren't these awesome memories? They make you think really deeply. Now, think about that moment of awe, when you were placed in your school.
You saw the results. For me, I was shocked. I thought my personality at that time would get me in Death. But I was a Life mage.
How about when you were creating your character?
Well, I was addicted to the Wii at the time, and my Mii looks exactly like Alia. Well, my eyes are actually brown but, you know. I decided on the long hair, because the ponytail looked weird. I always wore my hair in a ponytail. BUT, my Mii had that hair that I have.
I was choosing a face. Maybe the eyes were too big. Or the lips. Or it looked nothing whatsoever like me. I was down to the final two. The smiling one, and my current one. I thought two hilarious thoughts that got me to decide mine.
The smiling one:
1. Looked like Micheal Jackson in some way. xD
2. Well, I didn't wanna be SMILING all of the time!
I chose to have a soft smile, not a wide grin, and beautiful sea green eyes. I was lookin' good!
Many of you know what my "noob" clothes looked like. But anyway, why did you chose those colors for YOUR noob clothes? I chose black and purple trim because black was one of my favorite colors at the time, and purple WAS my favorite color.
After this, it was time for my first duel. How did you feel during that battle?
Anyway, when I saw that duel I thought, "Oh. This is going to be one of those stupid trading card games."
Well, technically it IS, but without the stupid part.
When I saw how my cards came to life, I knew this would be more.
It took forever to get to Headmaster Ambrose's office. How did you feel when you walked out to the wide open world? When you followed the yellow arrow (when I started, there were a bunch of yellow ARROWS during the ravenwood quest, and the unicorn way quest) how did you feel? It felt exciting for me. I saw many wizards gathered in the commons, with chat bubbles filled with ... .
From there, you've just gotta think about those days up until now.
They're called "memories" people. Recall them every once in a while.
I didn't think about this topic until I defeated Jade Oni, about to move on to DS. I wanted his pet badly. I did the second chance chest about 5 times. No pet. BUT, I looked at my loot for a second. I got two Jade Oni's Vestments. When I equipped it, I thought, "OH MY GOSH THAT IS BEAUTIFUL!" And then... I got all emotional and thought about when I was level 20.
That's when I started this blog.
You see, a few weeks before I started my blog, I changed my look from this:
(Mary and Rachel HAVE been here from the beginning. The others are: from left to right and top to bottom: The old Kevin Mythblade who actually looks just like Eggbert but with different colors, Sean DeathHammer, Rachel LotusBlossom, Cody DragonRider, and Mary Iceblossom)
To THIS:
And I loved every second of when I had to write those posts for all of the world to see.
Think back, readers.
Think back, followers.
I want you to think back to when you started blogging, and your adventures in Wizard City.
I am dead serious.
THE LOTUSPETAL IS OUT!
(P.S. Everybody Hates Chris marathon! WOOT!)

Oh don't worry, my noob days are still fresh in my mind. Especially being stuck on Katzenstein's Lab. You almost made me get teary! Ah, those were the days...
(if you didn't know, I used to be a menu chatter too, up until I got to Marleybone with Kymma Silverleaf)
