*gasp* Oh my...

Well, it looks like this thing has been pretty deserted...

I'm so sorry guys. I mean, a lot of tests have been coming up, and I've been studying like crazy, and dadadadadadadada, homework, dadadadadada, irl stuff, dadadadadadada, EVEN MORE Skype drama, dadadadadada. You get the point.

But anyway. Um. Again, I'm sorry...

I've been procrastinating like heck on the video blog thing. Ehehe.

What I'm thinking, though, is that I'll actually start it in...

*checks calendar*

23 days!

(That's kinda a long time, actually X_X)


But I'm also kinda thinkin' I should redesign the blog or something. Do a little more on Gimp. I don't use Gimp too much anymore, so, err.... Yea, I'm just gonna try to improve mah noobish skills and stuff by totally redesigning this blog! :D


So guys, just hang in there. I've been a little busy lately, but I'll be back real soon~!

Oh, well thank you :3

I just recently realized--my blog hit over 50,000 views.

Thank. You all.

Thank you regular viewers I don't even know. Thank you, good friends of mine that check up on my blog. Heh. Thank you, all you people that come to my blog and hate on it daily. Heck, I would even like to thank annoying anony spammers that DESPERATELY try to get a grandmaster storm account over my blog! Because every time you guys come here... A new view is counted. So I thank you all.

Now--if it took me only about, mehh, 2 years... To get 50,000, well, let's see how long it'll take for me to grab 100,000 views! The day I reach 100,000 views, oh, trust me--I'll do something SPECIAL.

Okay, so onto my regular bloggeh post.

Firstly.... TOMORROW I HEAD OFF TO THE WIZARDING WORLD OF HARRY POTTER!!!!!! >w< I'M SO EXCITED!!!

...Secondly, I've basically given up on trying to get to rank 10 Gardener. ^^;

IT'S BECAUSE OF THAT DARNED LAUGH-O-DIL...

Me: *goes and takes care of Deadly Ninja Figs* *then goes and takes care of Mature Laugh-O-Dil a few moments after*

The next day:

Me: Oh look, my Deadly Ninja Figs are still nice and healthy, and barely have any needs!

*walks up to laugh-o-dil after taking care of Deadly Ninja Figs*

Kingsisle: Sorry, but we've decided to give you a rough time trying to get to Rank 10, so your Laugh-O-Dil is now wilting. Oops. ^^

Me: TT_TT B-BUT I TOOK CARE OF IT YESTERDAY....

This went on. For days. And I am so frustrated.

So, I will not be trying anymore to get to Rank 10, since that Laugh-O-Dil has now officially shattered my dreams!TT_TT

.......

THIRD.

キッチン Project is going along VERY well!In fact, there are only 3 more items I need to craft, and then I'll add a little touch here and there, and then BOOM! My kitchen's complete!

The three items are:

1. Sandwich Station (Grendelweed's going along pretty good with my strategy ^^)

2. Jar of Mandrake (^^;)

3. BONUS ITEM! (Forgot to mention this, let me explain.)

I've decided, when I've completed every craftable item I will need to make my kitchen look FABULOUS, I'll celebrate by crafting an item I really, really like.

That item being the Aquarium.

So... the Bonus Item, I'll get to work on that soon.

But hey! Just to let you know--キッチン Project isn't going to end THAT quickly. I'll have to figure out rearranging certain items, duplicating certain items if possible, adding in every last detail to create the perfect kitchen...

So... When I'm done crafting every main item, the HARD part will be over. But I'll still have to keep adding and adding to my kitchen until it's JUUUST right.

I'm even currently planning a sequel, much harder--楽園 Project--or Project Paradise. Does the name give you a clue? ^^

But in the meantime, I remain polishing my kitchen into pure perfection. I promise, when this long, hard project is over--I'll give a whole video tour of just that ONE room! :D

Once again--thanks so much for over 50,000 views! Let's try to make it to 100,000 within the next 2 years, k? ^^

~The LotusPetal

Ok... Well, that's surprisingly good! ....And that's surprisingly bad.

Well, it turns out, I have another couple days before I go to Florida. WOOHOO FOR MIXED UP DATES :D

But, anyway.

That was the surprisingly good thing.

The surprisingly bad thing, well...

I was already down to 100,000 gold, which is pretty poor for me. And I was at the bazaar, hunting down reagents for キッチン Project.

I needed a heckload of Grendleweed for the Sandwich Station item, which, in my opinion, is one of the MOST AWESOME housing items I've ever seen. That and the Antique Cello..... TT_TT

 And... I saw like, 36 black pearls, which I didn't need for THIS recipe. But I could use them later on, on a female mannequin which I've REALLY wanted to make.

And... Well.. I didn't read the price of all 36...

They cost me 50,000 gold. I'm stinking broke.

So... I did what I always do in an extremely urgent situation like this.


FARM OYOTOMI LIKE HECK!!!!

*Picture thingy on blogger is being irritable, gyah*


..I don't like having only 70,000 gold TT_TT *was farming like heck last night too, lolz o:*


*sells more Oyotomi stuff*


O-okay, 80,000. But it still stinks!!!


...


Wanna see mah kitchen so far? :D

Well too bad, picture thingy is still.... gyahh...

...


Well, I'm bored.


...Any of you guys like the new Blogger in Draft layout? Idk if it's on the official Blogger yet, but it looks pretty cool! ^^ It's also a lot easier to use and access some features of Blogger in Draft now...


I'm running out of interesting topics, so I'll just... post tomorrow... or something.... WHEN THE PICTURE THINGY ACTUALLY WORKS!!!! (and when I can finally get caught up in Project キッチン. Or get my gold back. Or, err, something.)


~The LotusPetal

I apologize.... ^^;

Heh. Sorry for not posting in a long time... I've been rather internet-less for the past few days.

Between irl business and stuff, to the horrible connection everywhere I go, to staying at this house surrounded by the deep woods, it just hasn't been working out to get an internet connection.

(gyah, why do we have to dogsit those dogs 24/7 while they're in Hawaii, we usually just check on them twice a day... while all the while, Gypsy is all lonely and sad at home....)

*ahem* Anyway.

So, aside from this horrid connection, well, next week I'm going on vacation once more. ^^;

Yup. My mom, her boyfriend and I. We're going down to Orlando to check out all the stuff there--mainly the Harry Potter place. We're going for one whole week, so I'll be internet-less once more.

But hey--it's the SUMMER! I'm supposed to be out and about in irl business, aren't I? I mean, I do (sort of x_x') have a life outside of this!!!

So, um.... Yea. My connection's about to go down again--I'm posting this early in the morning mainly because I've discovered my connection only works around this time. I'll see you guys in... *counts on fingers* 10 days..? ^^;

I'm really sorry--I promise I'll post as SOON as I get home from my vacation!


~The LotusPetal

Temporary Goodbyes. ^^

Don't panic and have a heart attack. xD I'm not taking a long break, or quitting, rofl.

You see, starting tomorrow-all through next week, I'm going to Florida AGAIN with my Aunt, Uncle, and two cousins. Last time I was there, we BARELY had wi-fi! They've rented out a new beach house this time, though, and I'm bringing my laptop just in case. If I am, in fact, rather unlucky again and there isn't any wi-fi around.... I won't be posting all week next week!

But--even though I hate to admit it sometimes, being right on the sand of the beach (that's how close the house is ^^) every day for a whole week IS worth it, even though I have to be internet-less. As many of you know... I have... like... an OBSESSION with computers since I started Wizard101, blogging, etc. I love to draw on paint programs (Paint Tool SAI, for example--still need a tablet x_x), make totally epic videos, (trying out Sony Vegas--it's TRULY EPIC.), write, (I prefer to type  than write ANY DAY. xD), and of course, I have my wonderful friends over Wizard101 and Skype.

Anyway--Today is pretty much the last full day for a WEEK I'll be on the computer. I just hope that while I'm gone, no epic updates come along!!!! ^^;

OOH! Speaking of epic updates--The Dragon's Hoard. Oh. My gosh. xD

Ok, so yesterday, I literally went to Walgreens with my mom with 20 BUCKS WORTH IN COINS.


And then my mom... She said she would buy me a 20 dollar gift card for... I dunno what reason. xD


So, I was buying one, she was buying one. 20,000 crowns.


When I got home, I started buying packs like CRAZY!!!! I was at the bazaar for almost an hour, when finally, I got everything I needed.

Now, you see, the BONE DRAGON. That was easy to get, got it on my third try. I wondered, "Is this even RARE?"

Now, the SWORD. That... Took forever.


But in the end, of course, I finally got some good gear--I got a combo of Vigiland gear and Utility gear! ^^ Check out my super epic outfit of awesomeness :3

:3


Lolz... I have nothing else on my mind you'd really like to hear about xD


Just... Random annoying things you hear all the time. Like, how I miss Chase Spirittail, I miss the old days when I.... nevermind, you don't need to hear all of this. I wanna leave for Florida completely happy.


But... Yea. I really do miss Chase... a LOT. Last night, I was looking through all my old pictures from January-May of 2010... I was literally tearing up. Back then, everything was so peaceful...


Ok. Ok. Enough. you don't need any of this.


~The LotusPetal

I'M WATCHING A SHOW ALL ABOUT SOME DUDE FINDING THE BEST CHEEZ THERE IS

I saw this show while browsing through channels just a minute ago... IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE.

 
My life is officially complete. There is a show.

About cheez.

:D

Anyway, my dad grounded me two days ago. I planned on making a blog post about how frequently I plan to make a blog post... But.... yea. xD

To put it shortly, I'll try to blog EVERY OTHER DAY! Y'know, so I'll be able to take a little break from the blogging world every once in a while..

This dude's been up since 5 in the morning just to get some fresh cheez... (I'd do the same.... :3)


So, what's up with me in the spiral?


Firstly, all my plants had become elder... I harvested them... And...

*is still watching show* HOLY--THAT'S TOO GOOD LOOKING TO BE CHEEZ!!!!! MUST... HAS....


*ahem* So, yea. I: Basically.... I Fail.


*buys more plants*

IT'S SO BORING AT 9 IN THE MORNING ON WIZARDS...

Ok, that is some good looking cheez...


Nyeh... I'll find something to blog about as soon as people actually LOG ONTO WIZARD101...


~The LotusPetal

AND CAN I GET A HOT TUB!!!

xD You gotta love that commercial.

But seriously, sometimes, don't you wish that you could just say the jingle from the commercial, and like, anything you want could pop up?

LIKE A HOT TUB!

Anyway, I wish that I could say the jingle, and then "WITH REDRAWN WIZARDS FOR A BLACK STALLION CONTEST!" and boom, some little slips of paper in my hand with a few names.

BUT IT'S NOT REALITY!!! SO I JUST HAVE TO DEALLLL WITHHH ITTT....

*FACEDESK*

Ok, anyway. Like I said, some names have been redrawn. I'm drawing out names of people that HAVE A BLOGGER.COM ACCOUNT, not anons. And HERE... ARE... YOUR WINNERS!

Frazal
Luke Goldhorn
Sarah Spiritheart
Rachel Windtalon
Arlen Dawneyes

AND.... *drumroll*

SIERRA WINTERBREEZE! :D

And I believe I do not currently have any way of contacting:

Sarah Spiritheart
Arlen Dawneyes
Sierra Winterbreeze

Ok, so that's only 3 emails I need! C'mon you guys, don't make this so tedious for me.... -,- If I have to draw again, I swear...

*ahem* So, anyway! Congrats, you all! I'm going to send out the emails to the people I can contact as soon as possible...

Oh, and speaking of which! I've noticed that most people don't have their email or anything on their blog to contact them. Most of the winners I drew out had an email on their blog, so I simply sent it there! (there was confusion along the way with one person... but we got it sorted out.)

That is why I'm adding my email to a little widget at the side. Y'know, so you can contact me if you need to! I'm not taking questions though.... I can imagine how THAT will turn out... :|

So! Time to get sending out emails (again) and adding the widget! Remember, if you're one of those 3 people, I've gotta get your email soon!!! D:

~The LotusPetal

YOU COULD WIN A MOUNT!!! :D

I just got an email from Kingsisle (thanks SO MUCH Kiersten :D) and it turns out that they are giving me the opportunity to give away FIFTEEN BLACK STALLION MOUNTS!

That's right, FIFTEEN. big ONE FIVE. 1 5. 15. FIFTEEN.

Isn't that a song by Taylor Swift..? =.=

*ahem* Anyway. I couldn't really decide on what to do, so, I finally decided to do a DRAWING.

THAT'S RIGHT! A traditional, simple drawing. WITH A CATCH.

Firstly, well, to enter the contest, you gotta comment on this VERY post, K? That's right! Simple and easy.

Second, in that comment, YOU MUST ANSWER THIS QUESTION (this is gonna be so easy):

HOW DID BARTELBY LOSE HIS EYE?

It's that simple! Comment your answer below, and if you're correct, your name will be put into a drawing for the mount! ^_^

I know, I know, TOO EASY. But hey, that's me, the GENEROUS LotusPetal. ;P

If you didn't catch that, just simply comment how the heck Bartelby lost his eye, and you could have a chance of winning a super epic mount! :D

I hope I seriously made myself clear, because uh... I gotta go now. =.= I have to go to some restaurant with my Mom that we kinda wanted to check out. :3
