HUZZAH! I’m baaaack! And to celebrate my first post with my new camera, I’ve decided  to do a follow up to my “strange neighbors” post, which people seemed to enjoy. So now, I give you six new crazies for you guys to giggle at, starting with… Rocco (who could use some serious medical attention… not that I care)!

Muahaha! I have completed my transformation into the dastardly villian RAINBOW GIRL! I SHALL DESTROY YOU WITH MY LASER VISSION!

Am I supposed to pretend that made sense?

Green tea? Why not hot cocoa? Get it? GET IT? Hot… COCOA! Cuz Cocoa’s my name! Ahahaha… ahahaha… you’re not laughing, are you?

Yes, but I highly doubt Gracie would approve of THAT look. However, if you turned the color of chicken casserole…

Aurora, I told you to stop insulting my mother! *cries*

Good news! I FINALLY got around to getting a new camera today. Target took my old one back, and instead of getting that stupid Nikon again, I settled on this amazingly cool green Fuji Film camera. I will be back posting pictures TOMORROW!

And also, if anyone has been keeping up with the posts on my “about” page, you’ll know that my best friend has been in the hopsital for depression. Good news on that! She’s getting out Friday (which is much earlier than I expected)! We’re planning on going to celebrate or something. Thank you to all who prayed for her- you really, really helped.

Also, just so you guys know, I will get back into the habit of posting starting tomorrow, but I’m going on a biology class trip (yes, I am homeschooled, but I do take some classes outside of my house) to the beach from Sunday until Wednesday, which I’m beyond excited about, seeing I love marine biology, and I’ll be up to my ankles in sea life while I’m there. XD Anyways, don’t expect any posting from me during that time period. Not that I’ve been all that great about posting here lately anyways… oh well. Starting tomorrow I will get back into the habit of posting at least every two days. I WILL, I TELL YOU! I WILL!

So sorry for the lack of posts here lately. Want to know why I’ve been so inactive? Cuz my camera is not doing very well at the moment. I kind of… dropped it and jammed the lens. And then my mother’s is nowhere to be found (my fault as well, hehe). So until I get my camera repaired, I may not have very interesting posts. I’m sorry! But keep checking back, the blog should be up and running again soon. If camera repairs aren’t that expensive, that is.

Sorry for the lack of posts here lately- school started back last Monday and I’ve been putting off writing. I’ve been insanely busy. Anyways, at least I got around to uploading some photos off my camera! What you’re about to see is my trip to Iolakana, my friend Jordan’s town. We’ve been talking through comments on my blog, but it was just a couple of days ago that I got to meet her for the first time. She recently restarted her game, but her town looks awesome anyways. XD

Outside of the gate in Iolokana! Wow, nice roses, Jordan!

Us inside of Jordan’s house! Cute pigtails, Jordan! I gave her some stuff for it, but the Wi-Fi crashed as I was leaving and she lost it. Actually- it was all my fault about the Wi-Fi dying. After I left, I pulled out my USB connector before the game saved, crashing the Wi-Fi and kicking everyone out. SO SO SO sorry about that!\

After a while, Lolli from Klaus dropped in! She’s the one with the clover in her hair. I actually knew her before this, on ACC, so it was amusing meeting her in Iolokana. I had no clue Jordan had met her!

I got to meet several of Jordan’s neighbors, like Peanut. I had her on my old game cartridge- I remember her as the peppy type that kept coming up to me suggesting we should walk around town in matching outfits (I never took her up on that one).

We even played hide-and-seek (my favorite Wi-Fi game)! For the first round I hid behind a peach tree (I’m still back there in the photo- can you see me?), but Jordan and Lolli still found me.

Next I hid behind the Able Sisters’ shop. You can see Lolli up at the top of the screen- she doesn’t see me, though! She and Jordan passed me several times before realizing where I was hiding. XD

All in all, I had a great time in Iolakana, and I really want to go back. Thanks for having me, Jordan!

Yesterday I had the privilege to finally visit Mitsukyo, my friend Miki’s blog. It’s the most amazing place- it makes my town look terrible. XD  I meet two girls in her town- Chloe and Eileen. We ended up even going over to my town! For once these photos were not taken by me- Miki took them because I was too lazy. XD They’re directly taken from her blog, with her permission of course.

There we are- three of us girls, standing at the gate.

ZOMG PIKMIN! 8D Must… poke…

Chloe had to go and have tea with her family (I guess it’s a British thing XD), and we did terrible things to her as her charrie slept. Yes, there were axes and shovels and nets involved.

Finally we left Mitsukyo and headed for Belville, hoping our sleeping beauty Chloe would eventually realize where we went and come over with us. But that didn’t happen. Just Miki and Eileen came over.

Miki comes to Belville! She’s admiring my loverly flag.

Miki and Eileen on my sofa. Wow, you’re both tan. XD

Methinks Miki is enjoying my kitchen. Eileen, on the other hand, is not so sure.

Miki meets Ricardo! Miki is probably beyond starstruck. After all, who HASN’T heard of Ricardo? Meeting him in person is such an honor!

Eileen and her new boyfriend. Miki, get out and give the couple some privacy!

Later on my friend Shaq (with the amazingly awesome afro) drops in, and we have a fishing contest! We tie with our blue marlins. GAZE UPON OUR AWESOMENESS!

 
The Pink Knit Hat
This hat, designed by one of the geniuses from Treehut, is all the rage now! Why, I hear even Gracie has one of her own.

The Flower
Wearing flowers in your hair is very trendy this season! The only downside would be that bees sometimes mistake you for a giant flower, but that’s a sacrifice you can make for true fashion!

The Fluffy Shirt
This shirt just screams “high class”! Why, look at Mr. Hunky-Pants back there checking out our model in her fluffy shirt! It’s quite the boy magnet, you know.

The Red Grid Shirt
It’s a moonlit summer night. A beautiful young woman stands on the seashore, staring out at the ocean, her long hair blowing in the sea breeze. What makes this woman so attractive? You know she’s quite a beauty, but you can’t figure out what about her makes her so lovely. Is it her eyes? No! Her skin? No! Her hair? No! Her keen sense of style! Why, yes! Would you look at her shirt? How trendy! This red grid shirt can make any girl look like a true fashion maven.

The Sailor’s Hat
This hat gives its wearer class. Why, even Ricardo seems to be envious of it! I’m sure he’d love to have a hat like that, but alas, fish can’t wear hats.

TOOL TIME!
*cough*
Er, sorry. FIREWORKS TIME! Yup, that’s right. Tonight was fireworks night in Belville, and trust me- I had an excellent time. Aaaaand I managed to take some picture with my brand new DIGITAL CAMERA! Now I don’t have to bug my mother to let me use hers. I’m sure she’s relieved. Sorry for the black on the screen in several of the pictures. I’m not the best photographer, and I didn’t angle the camera right, apparently. ^^; Hopefully the next batch will look better.

You’re giving ME fireworks? Baaaaad idea, Tortimer…

WHEEEEE! I love my charrie’s face in this one. She looks so happy!

The night sky. Lovely, isn’t it?

Tonight was actually a really good night for me. I saw a tarantula early on- I’ve caught them before, but they’re worth 8,000 bells, so in the net he goes!

Yes, Bob and I always have the most deep conversations during the fireworks show.

Like I said before, tonight was a good night for me! Pelly FINALLY decided to give me the golden watering can. Now to grow some golden roses!

Finally, towards the end of the night, I caught up with KK Slider (isn’t he dreamy? XD) and had him play me some groovy tunesies. And although he didn’t me a particularly GOOD song tonight (KK Ragtime… ew), I still got a new song to add to my library (I’m trying to collect them all), so that’s all that matters, right?

There are a lot of animals in Belville. In the next couple of photos you will meet some of the more, er, interesting specimens. Trust me, they are guaranteed to make you thankful for YOUR neighbors.

…I’mma gonna go puke now.

Remind me to buy new locks for my doors…

OR CAN THEY? *dramatic music plays*

I’d be insulted if I wasn’t too busy wigging out of the fact that you actually HAVE a unitard stash.

Unfortunately for this guy, Belville does not have an insane asylum. Now, though, I’m starting to think we need one.

Today I’ve decided to give you, my humble readers, a grand tour of my house. I have all 5 rooms (not including the attic, of course), and they’re all fully furnished (although I may add a little more to the bathroom later on). Hopefully I won’t scare anybody away with my sub-par interior decorating skills…

The main room, which you can’t really see that well. I have junk up against each wall, but this picture doesn’t show it, unfortunately.

My music room! I seriously wish I had this room in my real house. XD

The bathroom! I still remain convinced that the right wall needs more pizazz… I might just add some sort of mini gyroid.

The kitchen!! Did you know that fridge on the left is actually a cabinet? o_o

And here we have the bedroom! Notice the little goldfish on my nightstand. His name is Ricardo. ^^

Also, while googling my blog’s name this morning (does that sound vain to you?), I came across this website. Turns out that there actually is a town called Belville in North Carolina! It looks like a nice place… now I want to visit!

The summer’s almost over, but I still have several  bugs left to catch. Those bugs would be the banded dragonfly (big surprise there) and the lantern fly (should’ve caught it by now, but oh well). As you may imagine, it may take me a while to locate the banded dragonfly. The lantern fly I should’ve caught by now. Unfortunately I’ve only seen two of them during the summer (I scared them both away XD), which is why  tonight I set out on a quest for that elusive lantern fly- with no luck, of course. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t have fun! I even managed to take some photos of my hunt.

Me with my net just outside my house. Let the hunt begin!

Even though I didn’t end up catching a lantern fly, I did find some rare insects! I was pretty happy when I found the rainbow stag- they sell for 10,000 bells, after all. Apparently Bob was happy, too- can you see him on the left side of the picture clapping for me?

Unfortunately, I also ran into some more undesirable bugs. Like the mosquito that just bit me. Joy…

I chatted with some of my neighbors while outside as well, like Buck, who I really wish would move. I’m apparently a part of his club now (and I’m not so sure I want to be XD).

Another one of the rarer bugs I came across tonight. Yay for elephant beetles!

Finally, after a long night of bugging, I went home and crawled into my own bed for a nice and well-deserved snooze. I’ll be trying again tomorrow night for that lantern fly, though!
