3 Pets, 2 Houses, 7 Contest Winners

Hiya! First, I remembered last week's TC Contest a couple days later, and rushed to random.org, so here's your winners!

1st: Active Necro

2nd: Isaac Stormflame (@aspCEO)

3rd: Jennifer Dreamsinger (@AwesomeBlizzard)

4: Stormzilla

5: Jenna Unicorndreamer (@JennaUnicornWiz)

6: Jasmine Smith (@EliteWizard)

7: SmartAllecWiz

I believe everyone except Stormzilla is on my friends list (shoot me an e-mail or DM for a TFC if you'd like!) so, I'll give everyone their prizes in due time. If you don't have much time as of late in-game and you know when you're going to be on, e-mail me at least 2 days beforehand if possible so as not to keep a wizard waiting for their prize. As I can't be on as much either until the 16th, I'll stop by on Arlen from time to time to see who's online and can claim their cards. (on Mycin a bit lately, finishing up 2 Houses, so :)). Lastly, the cards you will receive are on the May 29th post, as I believe you guys know. Congrats to the winners!

In other Wizard101 News, and, as I'm sure you know, is the Pet-a-Palooza! I'm not going to buy any of the pets, as you can get them through hatching with someone else too of course, but I just found out a couple other cool things! First, for just THIS month, you can win extra prizes, which include PETS! Even an Ianthine Spectre, should you be lucky & good enough ;). "Bonus Items" include Snacks from Rank 2 to Mega (received 2 Dragonhorned Melon from Doodle Dug at 20k scores), and Energy Elixirs. Read about it HERE. Quite a few have won some of the lowers, Death Scarabs and such. I want a Storm Beetle (very very old promo pet, I sold mine I think D:) and/or FOG Unicorn & Stormbat personally. No luck on those yet :). And, possibly even better, "there will be new pets released throughout the month of June". Can you spot 2 new ones in their commercial?

Well anyways, Ice Scarab & Patriotic Leprechaun pets were spotted here! I'm pretty sure the Leprechaun will be in the new 4th of July vendor that Kingsisle hinted a while ago, and Ice Scarab, Crowns/Drop or both, maybe another promo? We'll see :). And thats probably the beginning. Woot! Is hoping..

For my Characters, I've managed to get some things done, like checking every night on my Garden for one ;P

King Parsley is apparently hanging on to his blue suede shoes and is afraid to go Elder. LOL, I'll harvest the stubborn fellow tonight :P

Didn't know this dropped. I just wanted another Wu Picture for my House! lol, I didn't even know that Athame existed to be honest. Was like 'What the heck? O_O'

Handshake ^_^. I just need to craft 2 Warrior Statues around the PvP Ring & I may be done with the outside. Maybe, as in, still have trouble thinking of what to put out there as its still pretty bare :P. For the inside, I just need 2 Moon Icons and a Celestian Fern. 5 not-so-hard items! :D next post might just be my showcase of the CL Observatory. For MS House, I got 2 items closer to finishing, 1 Wild Bamboo & a Dark Green Silk Kimono. About the Kimono, I farmed Fushiko once for 3 hours, got one thing I needed, but never got the Kimono (it was technically a rumor then that it dropped from Fushiko, photo-proof was shown on Central just recently) and I found it in the Bazaar, was about as surprised and happy as getting that Gear Rack & Bodkin of the Hearty (is it just me, or am I learning about a lot of new items recently?! :P). To finish off, I need:

-2 Moon Icons

-2 Celestian Warrior Statues (crafted)

-1 Celestian Fern

-1 Mooshu Sarcophagus (whats the plural, Sarcophagi?)

-1 Wu Picture

-10(??) Jade Chairs (crafted)

to complete 2 Houses. Ah, checklists..

Happy Housing!

We're Cooler Than I Thought.

Note: Wall of text coming your way. I'll try to include a picture.. just think of this as getting ready for Summer reading ;)

Okay, first I'll address the non-related-game stuff and end off with my Crafting/Housing progress. First, I want to say how proud I am of the community. You've got most going through School or Work (College/Work-Personal Crises = Ouch..), are/has being bullied in School, etc. One person was very inspiring, and I say that because she was suffering from a fatal illness. But, you know what? She took her time and did great work in the W101 community, and enjoyed her final days. You may know of whom I'm speaking of. 2 of our current community workers, in a great up-and-coming site, are deaf, but that didn't stop them! Eh, kinda random, but I'm glad everyone's rebounded from a rather sensitive subject on being Official and all that.

ITS...

I got my Disco Floor in the CLOB (CL Observatory, you heard it first here :P *clobber*) done, 4/5 of the next 3 floors done, and just about all of the top floor (maybe all, I'm going to check if anything extra is needed). The outside hasn't been worked on over the weekend, but I'd say its half-done.. its so hard to decide what to put out there though! I keep imagining everything floating through space :P but I have decided to make a couple statues. Will see what else is good after that. For the Mooshu House, I just realized I'm nearly done! In fact, the main thing left is to craft a ton of Jade Chairs (huge $ta$h of Black Pearls required) for my, sort of, Mooshuian Restaurant. Was farming Oyotomi for a long time for several Jade Tables ^-^ I got a Collosus & Stormzilla TC though, that was interesting. And of course, a bit of gold :D. I had a little too many trees outside, so thinning out a little :P so, its going along well. I found the rare Diving Rack Set in the Bazaar (no one knows where it drops yet!), so I may add that to Arlen's House, but was really just WHOA when I saw it xD. (Look up the picture yourself ;P) Yeah, thats pretty much it. School's *almost* over (8 1/2 days), so, should be less busy soon. HURRY UP, JUNE 16TH (Uncles Birthday too ;)) anyways, you're probably getting bored by now, so...

Happy Crafting!

Who Says..

... Sophia can't run a Forge?

... this doesn't drop from the Raven$?

... Mr. Parsley can't dance before Harvest Time?

... Arlen can't have a little time off?

... Ymir is a friendly giant? O_O (if you read this... HELP!)

... Disco is dead?

Happy Farming!
