A Bit About Me :)

 Hey there, Jammers!

Just thought I'd make a quick post about how and why I decided to join the Animal Jam Community. Enjoy!

How Did I Start Playing Animal Jam?

When I was younger, I had a HUGE obsession with the National Geographic Kid's Almanac. It was a children's Almanac that was released yearly, and contained fun facts about just about anything and everything. One of the things that I looked forward to seeing in each year's edition was the puzzles/games from Animal Jam. One year, (the year National Geographic and Animal Jam parted ways) I noticed the Animal Jam puzzle wasn't in the Almanac. I must've spent hours, double checking every page to make sure I didn't miss it!

That same year, most of the other kids in my class had already gotten their own cellphone- except for me. On my search to find a way to contact my friends, one of my friends mentioned they played Animal Jam, and we could chat there. That night, I joined Animal Jam under the username sia007. However, we soon discovered the difficulty with chatting on AJ. (this still annoys me to this day)

sia007: Are you River? 

nummykid (my friend): Are you Eggplant?

nummykid:*tries again* Is that you, Elephant?

sia007: Do you go to my stool?(school)

nummykid: Are you trying to say pool?(school)

 

*Half an hour later, we come to the conclusion we know each other*

We started meeting up to chat on AJ, and I soon got to know the community quite well.

When Did I Discover The Blogging Community?

Two summers ago (2019) I spent my time looking things up like "How To Get Rare On Aj" and "How To Get A Free Membership" (Yes, it took me a year to admit I couldn't get a free membership). Somehow, I stumbled across The Animal Jam Potato, a hilarious blog written by neros1234 (sadly, the blog is now only accessible by being invited).

 I soon started looking for other blogs, and soon discovered Doomypanda's Animal Jam Stream. From the "Other Blogs" link I found several other blogs that I know frequently read, including Rainbow's Ultimate Animal Jam Blog, Animal Jam Daily, and The Animal Jam Novel (All links can be found on my "Other Animal Jam Blogs Link").

Recently, in the middle of a French test, I decided to start my very own blog. I named it The Animal Jam Bubble, because just like now, in the middle of the Covid-19 Crisis, we all need a bubble of people with a something in common. I also wanted a way to keep in touch with the Animal Jam community, without playing the game. 

I can't wait to see you all in Jamma!
