Yay! I'm done with my 4 things! :D

Hint: They're in a box

Nothing else. Fish is perfect for braces.(without bones!) I dont usually like seafood, but this fish was spicy! And I love spicy stuff! :D

Some Pictures

Ok, a few pictures to share.

First up, the lollipop-flower drawing I made.

And here is a lace heart I made at Laura's on a hanky.

Some flowers I made on Scribbler. :)

The extra ribbon bookmarks I made.

Click on any of them to get a larger version of it. It looks much better that way, :)

Poll Results and Child's Play

Yay! Yay yay yay! JayIsGames posted another IF game! :D
Its called Child's Play (by Stephen Granade), and you can play it online. ^^ According to the review and rating, it seems pretty good (5 stars so far) and the overall story sounds fun. (Type "about" in the game for more info)

Description from the game:

"It is playgroup day and playgroup day is normally a good day, but ever since that little red-haired girl started coming she always wants your toys.

She shouldn't get your toys.

You tried telling the mom this, but she doesn't understand you. She mostly ignored you but then she just shoved a pacifier in your mouth and changed your diaper."

As you can probably tell from the description, you are a baby with very good vocabulary and critical thinking. You are also trying to keep your toys away from that new girl. Im only just starting, so I dont know much about it, but you should get a good idea from the JayIsGames review. Also, you can save and restore your game. Oh, and when that picture of the baby and the fridge magnets appear, just click to continue. You can crawl, you can listen, and you can use your baby tactics. Its easy to tell that this is going to be an amusing piece of IF :) Enjoy~

Now, about the poll. As of now, there are 17 hours until its over. I dont think anyone is going to vote now, so here are the poll results.

Q: Hot Coffee or Hot Chocolate?
Hot Coffee!: 1 (7%)
Hot Chocolate!: 9 (69%)
Blah, neither: 1 (7%)
...I like them cold: 2 (15%)

Hot Chocolate is the majority! I prefer hot chocolate too. Anyway, this will be edited if someone changes or makes a vote. Time for a new poll! (soon)

10 Ideas for Your Blog

Ok, so I've been trying to think up blog ideas. I've thought of a few and hopefully it will help me and other bloggers to find out what to post about.

1. Random: Take any object that people overlook and use a lot, but dont think about very much. Type about its importance in your life and all the amazing things it can do.
2. Help: Give people step-by-step instructions of how to do something that many people need help with, because they will thank you for the help. That is, once they get the courage to comment.
3. Complain: Talk about the unfairness of how there are more right-handed items than left-handed items. Or how there are more things you can download on Windows and not as much on Mac, simply because Windows was introduced first. Otherwise, how unfair anything is.
4. Reviews: If you read, watch a lot of a movies, or go out frequently, this idea will be great for you! Simply type up a review on any of them. Perhaps there's a restaurant you go to all the time. Write about the great food or customer service there. And if you're a movie watcher, criticize and praise its plot. For bookworms, write a book review and rate it from one to ten.
5. Talent: If there's something you enjoy doing, share it on your blog! Writers and poets could post their poems and stories, and photographers can upload pictures for all to see. If your hobby is making handbags, you can post tips and instructions for people who have gotten inspired from your work.
6. List: Make a list. Whether its a favorite book list or list of pros and cons, there's no limit to how long it can be!
7. Challenge: Give your readers a challenge. Ask them to write a romance between a tomatoe and a potatoe. Tell them to email you a recipe for disaster. Whatever you do, the results will probably be very entertaining.
8. You: Talk about you. Drama in one's personal life is interesting sometimes. Otherwise, how come readers enjoy realistic fiction so much?
9. Blog: Post about stuff in your blog. The results of the poll, a recollection of last years most interesting entries, or why in the world you put a picture of that poor cat who's head was stuck in a fish bowl.
10. FAQ: Make a small post of FAQ, or interview a fellow blogger or reader. Or even interview a whole bunch of people with the same questions and see how the answers differentiate.

I hope that helps. Now I have few more ideas on what to post about...

Links

Ok, I am going to go through my links so you can get a good idea of what each of them are. Future links will probably have their own summary in another post. I'd add it to this post...but its long enough as it is.

• DeviantART : A place with tons of art that people make, including literature, emoticons, photography, painting, and much more.
• Dino Run : A cute game in which you (the dino) are running to dino paradise so that you can escape the apocalypse. Balance on meteors, eat lizards, collect power-ups, get rides from other dinos, collect eggs, and even race in multiplayer with other dinos. There are many milestones to use, and the overall retro look to it is just too awesome.
• Emily Short IF : Im a big fan of Interactive Fiction (IF). If you dont know what IF is, you can check this website and it will have a good How-to guide to playing interactive fiction. Emily Short has some really good interactive fiction, so be sure to try them out!
• Flickr : A place where anyone can upload photos and share them with others. If you find a picture you especially like, add it to your favorites! The people on Flickr have some really neat pictures. How do they do it?
• JayIsGames : A collection of casual games. I usually find games here, and they have reviews and ratings on them all, along with some helpful walkthroughs. IF, webtoys, grow games, escape-the-room games(although I suck at those) are among the many many games that they have.
• Laura's Blog : My friend's blog. She created it a few hours before mine and convinced me to make one too. She's a writer and poet and I have a feeling she's going to have many interesting posts...
• MiniCity : A virtual city that grows everytime someone clicks on it. Click this link and you'll help my mini city grow. :)
• Neave : Interesting website I found a few weeks ago. Try the lines one. You wont believe your eyes. o_o
• Nitrome : One of my favorite links ever. Nitrome creates its own pixelized games and everything in it is just so cute and squishable. Especially the little characters in "Mutiny". The only game I've ever beaten completely was "Jack Frost". Although they update frequently and have a fun-to-read blog, its always exciting when they come up with a new game.
• Playlist : Make your own music playlist and listen to others. I usually have my playlist on in the background while browsing the web.
• Powder game : Another one of my favorite links ever. This is a sandbox game, so you can basically do anything you want. There are many elements to choose from. Water, seed, powder, player, fighter, magma, c-4, metal, thunder, superball, wind, ice, and way more. The fun part of the game is how the elements interact with each other. blow the ice away with wind and create snow. Sprinkle some seeds on powder and grow a plant. Then burn it up with fire. Create a fighting arena, a volcano, a waterfall, an obstacle course for the player, the possibilities are really endless. For a really nice experience, change the BG to BG-shade. You can even save these and share them with others. Also, scroll down for information about everything, especially player and BG. :) Have fun and enjoy!
• Quizilla : Make quizzes and stories and post them for people to rate, read, and try. Once thats done, see if it will make it to the Most Popular or Top Rated list.
• Scribbler : Draw a simple design. Then click scribble and watch it work its magic. Voila! Change the color of the scribble and you have more control of how the scribble works. Also check out the website of the person who made this. The only thing it seems to be missing is an eraser, although an imperfect drawing seems to turn out really nice anyway.
• Shannon Hale's Website : This is the website of my favorite author. Read up info on books she's written and info about herself that might be helpful to novel writers-to-be.
• Travian: Make a village. Conquer other villages with your troops. Expand your resources. Survive raids and attacks. Then try to make it to the high scores.
• World-o-Meters : Current statistics on population, economy, environment, education, energy, health, water, and food. The numbers might be surprising.

And that concludes the afternoon announcements. Have a nice day!

Hello!

Wow, this is my first post! I will be writing about everything on my blog so far and a few things about myself.
I've been exploring all the page elements and at the moment we have...

• About me: A small description "about me".
• A poll: A place where you can vote on your opinion! I plan on changing the poll every month. I started in the middle of July, so you all only have 15 days to vote instead of the normal 30 or so days. Oh well.
• A links list: A list of links to places that I find interesting. I love links, as some of the people on my email know. :)

Ok, so not much, but I really had to get started on my first post. Hehe... Ok, now into more detail about me. o_o

• I love making art - graphics, pen & ink, painting, etc. (I love crafty projects too)
• I use o_o O_o :) :D and other text emotes. I think it comes from playing too many MMORPGs and using aim.
• I love reading and pasar tiempo con amigas. (Must review spanish before I forget it all!)
• I love chocolate croissants, tapioca(bubble tea), pocky and most things from a bakery. Athough, not counting the cakes since some are too sweet. o_o
• I love reading instructions, tutorials, and intros. :) And guides on some things.
• I love small text. I love neat, simple things. o_o
• My favorite color is blue.
• I wear a watch all the time.

I think thats good enough. o_o Finally done with my first post! :D
