Knight Armor and April Fool's Party

LATE POST I AM SO SORRY! My teachers are making all my assignments due on the day before Spring Break starts (which is on Thursday). And it doesn't help that I was sick for four days the week before. ANYWAYS, let's get on with this rushed post!

The new item today is the Knight Armor! It goes great with the Knight Helmet, however it's member! Hmm.. I guess if you're a non-member, you will have to be creative when making your armor for a knight outfit!


Also when you log into Animal Jam today, there is a small April Fool's joke! I was a bit confused when I opened it up (because today is not April 1st)

With this little joke, you can now go to the April's Fool Party! And, the party is updated with all new items, including a Shark Hat, that already seems to be very popular!



Last but never the least, we have the True or False questions along with a GIF!

True or False: 
Adults have fewer bones than babies do.

And the GIF..

I don't know what's funnier, the fact that the dolphin has grown arms, or that it's wearing a shirt and tie. Either way, pretty hilarious!
That's all for today Jammers! I will see you on Thursday!



Rare Item Monday and Lucky Clovers!

Greetings! Let us move forth and begin this post, shall we?

Allow me to take you back to what happened when I began looking for the new item:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wonder what AJHQ has for us today... Ah, perfect, it has finally loaded!

Alrighty, first page of Jam Mart Clothing... Nope. Nothing. Moving on.

Hmm, Jam Mart Furniture? Nothing here.

Treetop Gardens? Nope.

Epic Wonders? Nuh-uh.

Bahari Bargains? Not here.

Sunken Treasures? Nothing to see here, move on.

Outback Imports?

Where on Earth (rather, in Jamaa) is this item? 

Wait...

http://blogs.discovery.com/.a/6a00d8341bf67c53ef0168e5dfbd0a970c-800wi/
And that is when I realized:

It is Monday! That means there is a rare item!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In all, it took me about 10 minutes to figure this out. I was evidently not functioning properly this morning! Anywho, to the rare!

Sold for 750 gems in Jam Mart Clothing, I bring you the Rare Horned Helmet! Well this is a... creative colour choice... This item is, again, great for clanning and roleplaying, I find. Not the most popular item, but still really quite cool, I think this is a decent item, and a pretty good rare. If you like it, be sure to buy one today, as this is the first, and last, day that they will be available in stores!


Next, I do not know if you have noticed, but the Lucky Clovers music is now available in stores, and a good thing too - I absolutely adore this particular soundtrack. Get it today for 1 diamond in the Diamond Shop!



And now, it is time for the factual part of this post:

Our word of the day is a weird one. Brace yourselves, for here comes the cousin of Ninnyhammer:

Clatterfart: Someone who chatters about nonsense all the time.

I have no idea what to say... ALEXITHYMIA!

Our fact of the day:

Horses typically live for about 30 years, but many breeds can live up to (and over) the age of 40!

Now that is amazing!

Happy Jamming!

Hey, good to see you are still sticking around. You can contact me at arcticstarjamaa@gmail.com !

Late Post: Knight Helmet, Daily Explorer Stuff, and Jammer Sundae #27

Greetings Jammers, and sorry for the late post! Every time I would try writing a post, I would get interrupted and forced to do something else (that took a super long amount of time). Then, when I would get back, I would be forced to do something ELSE that took a lot of time. Basically, this (very annoyingly) kept happening over and over again, so this post has become SUPER late. Grr.

Today in the land of Jamaa, we have a great returning item. I bring you, the Knight Helmet! This item is quite cool, and is non-member! I find that it looks quite good on owls. Anywho, this item is great for roleplaying, I find. Get one today at Jam Mart Clothing for 450 gems!



Next, we have a great number of posts from the Daily Explorer:

We've got a cool Trading Tips post, which you can check out here



Next, we have an Epic Dens contest which starts (and ends) today! You can enter by taking a screenshot of your den, and sending it in to AJHQ (through Jammer Central. I am definitely entering!
I might do a post about how to enter Jammer Art sometime this month, because I have been asked by a lot of people how to do it. Anywho, the winner gets 3 diamonds! Good luck Jammers, and click here for more information!



Finally, we have an update for the S.T.E.A.M contest! You can check it out here!

Finally, I bring you:




Such beautiful flowers!

Oh, and this feeling too!

http://funnystack.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Funny-Monkey-52.jpg

Why monkeys? Because monkeys!

Now, for the factual part of this post:

Our word of the day:

Cacology: Bad choice of words.

This is understandable in writing, you know, when you accidentally use a word incorrectly? Now, you know how to express your emotions!

Our fact of the day:

There are more than 12,000 species of ants in the world.

Now, that's only species, not total number of ants...

The real question is... How many ANTS are there in the world?

FUN FUN FUN


I mean...

DUN DUN DUN!!!

HEY! Contact me at arcticstarjamaa@gmail.com NOW!

Flower Crown, Song Poll, and a New Bunny?

Hey Jammers! I apologize for my lack of posting (It seems like I've been saying that a lot lately.). I hope to try to make more longer, and more on timed posts from now on. So, let's get started with the post!

The Flower Crown is today's new item! Many Jammers will be happy they came back because of the little rarity they were gaining while they were gone. Let's be honest, it's a great spring item to wear! And it look's good on most animals. Buy it in Jam-Mart Clothing for 500 gems.

Over at the Daily Explorer, they have a new song poll for you to check out! They are self promoting, "AJ's Greatest Hits". I would have to say "The Story of Jamaa" is my favorite. Click here to a direct link to the Daily Explorer.

Have you seen the Patterned Bunny yet? Will it be a special edition Spring Bunny? If you have no idea what I am talking about, than look!

You can still do this glitch right now! When you click the Tiger to choose an animal, this bunny will appear! Sadly, you cannot buy it, hopefully in the nearby future this will be a feature. 

Last but not least, we have a True or False question, with a GIF!
This is a bit of an odd, and will probably make most people squirmish, but here it is!

Squirrels sweat through their feet.

If you watched a certain Animal Jam video, you'd know this one!

Honestly, this has nothing to do with nature, I just thought is was a hilarious meme:

That's all for today Jammers, See you in Jamaa!

AJ is Updating, Cool Downloads, and Wild Explorers Episode 3 *UPDATED*

Greetings Jammers, it is time for me to write my post! However, it seems that Animal Jam is updating, so talking about the new items will have to wait until later. I will update this post at a later time, and add in what I will have missed about the items! Until then, here is the Daily Explorer Update and the factual part of this post:



AJHQ has given us two new Daily Explorer articles to view today! One is about all the free pictures and crafts you can download on the blog, and the second is introducing the 3rd Episode of Wild Explorers, a cute series of short videos starring none other than: Cami! It's great to see that she is in good health, isn't it? Anywho, you can view the post about crafts here, and the post about the new episode of Wild Explorers here! Oh, and click here to visit Cami's channel and see her other Wild Explorer videos!

 Heh heh. I am the link master! Get it? With all these links to different places? I might as well be a portal keeper or something in the Magic Realm! Is that a thing, though? Portal Keeper? Speaking of magic, isn't "realm" a cool word? I think it is! Not only that, think about the power of that title there, it really packs a punch doesn't it? "Portal Keeper". Or maybe, the Grand Portal Guardian of the Magical Realm. Doesn't that sound so cool? Or maybe I am just being weird, and wasting your time with this nonsense about portals... Who knows? Honestly, what is this world, and how do I always seem to get stuck on a tangent in these posts?! Wait... What am I supposed to be talking about? RIGHT! Be sure to click on those three links and check out all they have to offer!

Alright then. I will move on to the factual part of this post!

Our word of the day:

Betwixt: In between.

I love these types of words. Why? Because they sound so medieval, magical and beautiful, as if you are back in the stories of Merlin and Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table. The sound of some of these words are so wonderful! I should really start using some of these words now!

Our fact of the day:

DisneyWorld is larger than 17 countries in the world put together.

Not just any countries though, just some of the smaller ones. Wow, though!

That was pretty cool, but pretty useless wasn't it? I suppose you could do something like this with all the information I have been giving you ALL WEEK...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Friend: Hey, what's up buddy?

You: Nothing much, just ameliorating my life. How are you doing?

Friend: Okay then. I am doing great! In fact, today, I was ~

You: Animals can be kind enough to take in other animals. In fact, a family of sperm whales took in a deformed dolphin that was rejected by its own mother.

Friend: That's pretty cool. Anyway, I just got back from ~

You: I know right! I just have alexithymia towards that fact. You know what else is heartwarming? The fact the squirrels plant millions of trees each year just because of forgetting where they buried the seeds!

Friend: Yeah... Can you listen now? I was just in class with the crazy teacher- it was tough. I forgot my protractor, and I got yelled at! It was so embarrassing...

You: What?! How dare you forget the necessary armamentarium for class?!

Friend: Funny... That teacher said that too.

You: That means you missed the fact about giraffes! How dare you, man? You missed the most important part of the lesson! You know, the part about giraffes having 46 centimeter tongues?

Friend: You really aren't helping. Anyway, then I told the teacher I didn't have a protractor, and, oh what if I get in big trouble for this?!

You: ANACOLUTHON!

Friend: Okay then... And then, when I got back, we started learning about lobsters. And I was like: Who cares about lobsters right? And then ~

You: Sometimes, frozen lobsters can come back to life.

Friend: What is up with you today? My life is really important you know, and you need to understand that what I have to say is super important and your dumb facts don't really matter okay?

(some friend XD anywho, continuing)

You: Stop being such a ninnyhammer and appersonating yourself will you? That's just not natural. I don't want you to become like those people who think their pets can read their minds- weird.

Friend: DO YOU EVEN CARE ABOUT MY SUPER IMPORTANT LIFE?!

You: I would suggest that you calm down and be happy about how much you learned betwixt the time we started talking and now!

Friend: You are weird, you know that?

You: You know what else is weird? 17 countries are smaller than DisneyWorld. Cool, right? Hey! Where are you going?

Friend: I'm not going to hang around you anymore today, you are being weird. See you around.

You: Okay!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hmm... Okay, maybe that didn't help that much. But still, it could come in handy! Not only that, I do things like this quite often:

Friend: So, yeah.

Me: *walks up* It can take up to 70 years for a banana peel to decompose in Antarctica. *walks away*

Friend: Oh...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I am a weird child. Anywho, that's all for today folks. I will be sure to talk about the item at a later time!

Happy Jamming!


Hey! Over here, buddy! You can contact me at arcticstarjamaa@gmail.com Did you know?!

And now, we have the update! 

Sold for 450 gems in Bahari Bargains, I bring you the Lionfish Armour! Welcome back this great item. This item is also very popular with members, because they think it looks cool - and I agree with them!


Daily Explorer Posts, Lionfish Armour, and Leaving Clover Skirt!

Greetings! How are you doing today?

Today in the wonderful world of Jamaa, we have a returning item being sold. Welcome back, the Lionfish Helmet! This wonderful item can be bought for 350 gems in Bahari Bargains, so be sure to pick yours up today! I have noticed that this item is popular among member animals. I think it is because they think that it looks cool or tough on their animals! I think it isn't a bad item either to be honest!



Next, the Clover Skirt will be leaving stores soon, so be sure to get it while you can!



Next, we have two new posts from the Daily Explorer: an AJHQ spotlight and a new News Crew Winner! I have always loved the News Crew and aspired to become part of them someday, luckily, that wish came true! Anywho, click here to read about the turquoise dolphin pods and here to view the News Crew winner!

And now, it is time for the factual part of this post!

Our word of the day:

Appersonation: The delusion that one is a famous person.

There... There's a word for this?! What... What if I have been appersonating myself for all my life and I didn't know it? What if we are all famous except for famous people that we think are famous... but they really aren't? What if... Fame doesn't exist... Or what if this post doesn't exist and this post and word and term are nonexistent?! WHAT IS THIS WORLD?!

That was unnecessarily deep.

Our fact of the day:

1/3 pet owners believe that their pet has the ability to read their mind.

And this is a useful fact because.....? Well, at least you know something new now!

Have a great day, my friends, and Happy Jamming!

Aha! I am a genie now, and my wish is your command! Contact me at arcticstarjamaa@gmail.com

Koi Pond and Daily Explorer Posts!

Greetings Jammers, and welcome to another beautiful day!

Today in the Land of Jamaa, we have a returning item. Being sold for 400 gems in Jam Mart Furniture, I bring you the Koi Pond! I always liked this item, and use it in many of my dens! I always felt bad for the one little Koi though. All he ever does is swim around in circles! I sure wish you could change the colour of the Koi inside too... Anywho, this is a great item, and it will go well in a calm, nature themed den! Be sure to buy one when you have the time!


Next we have two posts from the Daily Explorer that we should check out!

First, we have a video from Tierney Thys about a Lion Mane Nudibranch (what a strange name!). Tell me one thing you learned about this crazy creature in the comments! Click here to watch the video!



Next, we have the winners for the Jammer Art! This theme was "Draw your favourite alpha". Let's see the winners, shall we?

Taken from the Daily Explorer

Congratulations to Major Majormajor, Awesome Fierystar, Eternal Vinerose, Twinkle Sillyclaws, and Infinity Fieryspirit for a pawesome job on their artwork! I can never draw a decent looking picture on a computer, I don't know how they do it! Click here to read the full post!

And now, for the factual part of this post!


The word of the day:

Anacoluthon: An abrupt change within a sentence to a second construction inconsistent with the first, sometimes used for rhetorical effect.

An example of this is: "Then I told her that if she continued to pretend to be a mushroom on Animal Jam, oh, what if she loses all her friends?!"

Wait... Who would pretend to be a mushroom on AJ?


Oh.


Now, our fact of the day:

Sometimes, frozen lobsters can come back to life when they thaw out!

Now THOSE are some cool creatures!

Happy Jamming!

Helloo! Come here, don't be shy! You can contact me at arcticstarjamaa@gmail.com ... So what are you waiting for?

Extremely Elongated Post: Vanity Mirror, Leaving Item List, and S.T.E.A.M!

Greetings Jammers, Arctic here! How are you today? Good, I hope. It is time for a new post, so let's get rolling!

Before we "get rolling", I would like to tell you something! I have decided that I am going to put more effort into my posts, and make them fun (or at least try!) as well as factual! This means that my posts may be longer, so be warned!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Now where could the new item be sold today? Ah, here it is. Sold in Jam Mart Furniture for 250 (wow!) gems is the Vanity and Mirror. Welcome back this wonderful returning item! I actually really like this item, and I use it in many of my dens. If you like this item, be sure to buy one!


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next, I thought that I should show you which items will be leaving stores soon:

Sold in Jam Mart Clothing
Sold in Jam Mart Clothing
Sold in Jam Mart Furniture
Sold in Treetop Gardens

Sold in Treetop Gardens (I like Daffodils!)
Sold in Epic Wonders
Sold in Epic Wonders
Sold in Sunken Treasures
Sold in Sunken Treasures














Sold in Bahari Bargains

That is a lot of items, but it is unknown when they return, so be sure to pick the ones you want up before they leave stores!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This isn't very NEW news, but I thought I would talk to you about it; Have you entered the S.T.E.A.M. contest yet? In summary, AJHQ is offering Jammers like you and I to be imaginative! There are five categories in which you can submit things for:

  • Science
  • Technology
  • Engineering
  • Art
  • Math
You can enter in facts that you know, a work of art, a concept that you understand deeply, or even your own inventions. So long as it is appropriate and relevant, AJHQ will accept it! In the end, there will be five winners (one for each category), and they will each win a prize of five diamonds! 

Here are some entries:

Taken from the Daily Explorer
The due date is April 22nd, so you have about a month to plan out something amazing! My entry was for Technology, and I did a music player that would play positive music to improve and/or match your mood! Best of luck to all you Jammers! For more information, click here!

AJHQ made a very cute piece of art for yesterday's rare:

Taken from the Daily Explorer

I get the sneaking suspicion that this same model for art has been used before...

This?
Taken from the Daily Explorer

AHH!! No, definitely not!!!

My search has turned out hopeless...

That raccoon though... *shudders*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's high time that we get a move on, and go to the factual part of this post, is it not?

Our word of the day:

Armamentarium (try saying that one five times fast!): The complete range of materials available or used for a certain task.

I can picture some very strange and eccentric teacher popping up from behind the desk, and yelling:

"DO YOU HAVE THE ARMAMENTARIUM FOR THIS CLASS?! If not... You will face grave danger... AS YOU SHALL NOT BE ABLE TO MEASURE YOUR ANGLES WITHOUT A PROTRACTOR!! MUHA! So you had better go get your geometry set, eh?"

Actually... That sounds a lot like how I would act... Moving on?

Our fact of the day:

Giraffes have tongues that can be over 45.72 cm (18 in) in length. They use these tongues to clean their ears and are even able to grab leaves with them!

Well, there you go, folks! Rather useless information for you face :D

That's not all, though. For surviving Arctic Unleashed, you will receive a prize:

A picture of a cute duckling to drool at for ten minutes!

http://www.tehcute.com/pics/201201/cute-duckling.jpg

... Too many?

http://i.imgur.com/aQEUb1c.jpg
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Goodness. I just read-over this post... What kind of madness was going on in my brain when I wrote this?

If you like this newer, longer style of post, be sure to tell me! Just remember, this was just particularly long because I listed off all of the leaving items!

Happy Jamming!
