Feelings for virtual animals? Chyeah! May 12, 2004
2004-05-12 16:46:39
I really hate having to travel to my other village to deliver something that one of the animals forgot. But yesterday, I did it because Pecan said she'd move if I went to another village, and I'm like "You wanna move, Pecan? No arguments here." So she moved to Portland when I took whatever it was to whoever needed it, and then later, I popped in my Portland town data memory card and guess who moved completely out?
FUCKING VESTA.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I LOVED Vesta! She was my favorite female animal. The other two sheep I've had, Cashmere and Baabara (Cashmere is in Costello, Baabara has moved out completely) were both bitchy. And Cashmere is so ugly with her freckle-things. But Vesta was just so adorable and sweet! And now she's gone. I swear, I almost cried. *Almost.*
Well, at least Jeremiah and Puck are living in Costello now. Speaking of Puck, I love it when he does that little dance that the animals do when they play a game with you where you have to choose right or left and you choose left and you end up buying a shanty wall or something else you already have/don't need for 5000 bells, or an equally ridiculously insane amount of money. Or something like that. Anyway, the dance. I want an animated GIF of Puck dancing like that.
Oh, and Pecan got five net-bonks for pushing Vesta out of Portland. -
AC Journal Part 4. Animal Emotions. May 6, 2004
2004-05-12 16:38:59
May 6, 2004
Just for the hell of it, I thought I’d make a list of all the animals’ emotions and what they look like during them.
Happy: The animal will “do a little dance, make a little love, get down tonight” and have little musical notes over his or her head. I always talk to happy animals because I usually get free crap out of it. Even the mean/bitchy animals are sooooo cute when they’re happy.
Sad: The animal will have storm clouds over his or her head. Talking to them when they’re sad is not a good idea.
Pissed off: The animal will have steam coming from his or her head. As with sadness, talking to an animal when they’re pissed off is a bad idea.
Freaked out: I think this is what it is. Anyway, you only see this when actually talking to an animal. They’ll wiggle around like they really have to piss and there’ll be bubble-things around their head. This is especially amusing to watch in Puck.
Crying: Another emotion you see only when you talk to an animal. And the girls do it more than the boys. When an animal cries, it’s anime-style—gushes of tears from an apparently fifty-gallon tear reservoir.
Confused/Questioning: The animal will briefly have a question mark over his or her head.
Realization: The animal will briefly have an exclamation point over his or her head
Surprise: The animal’s head will briefly flash a red starburst. There may also be an exclamation point over their head.
Hm ... I can’t think of anything else. But I do want to say that Puck is the best animal because he’s stoned out of his gourd.

AC Journal, Part 3. Golden Axe! May 5, 2004
2004-05-12 16:37:34
I finally did it! I got the Golden Axe last night! “Your toils have made Costello a truly wonderful place to live, blah blah blah here have a golden axe and chop off Petunia’s head with it because she’s a fat bitchy cow.” And yes, I did legitimately wait fifteen days and didn’t do the five-minute trick in the perfect town guide. Although I was tempted to on more than a few occasions. Actually, it was more *getting* the perfect town that was the hard part, rather than keeping it that way. Pretty much all I had to do was pull weeds every day and remember not to bury Bells in the glowy spot (an extra tree could cost me a point). Oh, and not to drop trash on the ground, even in the dump. I think Nook is a little TOO excited when he takes trash from me. “Yes! Yes! Ohhhhh YESSS!!” Not sure what you’re going to use that old shoe for, Nookie baby, but I hope you’re happy with it.
Let’s see ... Animals are moving from Costello to Portland and back again at breakneck speed. I can’t keep up. The other day my TWO FAVORITES, Puck and Vesta, moved from Costello to Portland. At least they didn’t move out entirely.
Speaking of Puck, I sent a letter to him the other day and he wrote back yesterday. I swear, the animals have HORRIBLE grammar. Anyway, his letter said “Thanks for the letter from very satisfying. I hear Paolo’s sundaes tastes very satisfying.” I dunno, it could have been a glitch, but at least he understood my letter (if he hadn’t he would have said so).
<P>I’m going to see if I can get Jeremiah Wasabullfrog (I keep calling him that) to move back from Portland to Costello.

AC Journal, Part 2: Perfect Town. April 23, 2004
2004-05-12 16:35:49
It’s Day 4 of my Perfect Town rating. Huzzah! (I’m counting the day it started, too.) Every time I ask the well “How are things?” I get a little freaked out because I never know if there’ll be one too many weeds somewhere (although I try to pick as many as I can find, but there’ll usually be an acre I miss) that will cause the well to do the “satisfactory” message.
I actually have two towns (did I say that already?) and had to run an errand in which Cobb the pig (he looks like a zombie. Cobb freaks me out), who had moved to my secondary town, forgot his—I think it was a picture book. I really didn’t want to do any traveling because when you travel one character from your moves into the town that you’re traveling to. Anyway, Weber the duck moved. And immediately Spork the pig moved into my primary town. Sure didn’t take him long to set up, did it? Spork seems to be a “hungry/lazy” male. Those are my favorites. Puck the penguin, Jeremiah the frog (every time I see him I get “Jeremiah was a bullfrog/Was a good friend of mine,” stuck in my head. Jeremiah’s the best character ever), Rex the lion—they all rock. Unfortunately, Rex moved out several weeks ago, Puck moved into my secondary town but now he’s back in Costello (living where Cheri the bear used to live) and Jeremiah has moved into my secondary town, Portland, and won’t move back, dammit! I’m trying to get him to move back (by taking my secondary character, Jayn, to Costello) but it’s always someone else from Portland. Last time Apollo the eagle moved back. He was one of my original five in Costello, I think. Apollo is probably my favorite “moody/grumpy” male. I think the only two of my original five that have never moved are Cashmere the sheep and Curly the pig.
Last night I was fishing, and it was raining so I decided to go down to the F acres and see if I could catch a coelocanth. I ended up fishing for about two hours—JUST fishing—and seeing about seven coelocanths and catching three. Along with the other fish I caught—I only kept barred knifejaws, worth 5000 bells each—I made over 90,000 bells by selling them to Nook.
AC Mystery of the Day: Why do so many animals ask you to retrieve their glasses case when hardly any of them even wear glasses?

Animal Crossing Journal, Part 1 --April 20, 2004
2004-05-12 16:33:02
(I had this on a different journal but decided to move it here.)
<P>I got a perfect town yesterday. (“Everything is perfect! Costello is a very livable place,” said the well.) So I did the Happy Perfect Town Dance and thought, “Okay, now I have to keep it that way for two weeks.” I kept checking back with the well like every two minutes: “Do I still have perfect?” Yes, I did. So I figured I wouldn’t plant or remove any trees during Perfect Town Week (or rather, two weeks, since you need two full weeks of a perfect town to get the golden axe). I was playing last night rather late, so all the animals were asleep, so I time-traveled to the next day (today) so they’d all be awake. Two of the trees I planted had wilted so I dug them up and I checked with the well and I still had a perfect town. Except for those two dead saplings, I didn’t plant or remove any trees, and when I finished playing last night I changed the time to what it actually was, saved and quit. Today when I started playing and checked with the well it gave me the “Yes ... yes. Things feel as they should, etc.” message. “What the freaking hell???” I thought. So I had to go to each acre, count trees, and plant/cut down trees until there were 12-14 trees in each acre. After planting three extra trees in acre C-3 (there were only nine, which was the minimum) the well gave me the perfect town message again, but I decided to go to other acres, count trees, and make sure that there were only twelve to fourteen trees in each acre. I did about six or seven acres and then I got kind of bored of counting/shaking trees/running from bees, so I checked back with the well and I still have a perfect town.
<P>But I didn’t do the Happy Perfect Town Dance this time. I think that jinxed it.
