Well, Here I Am…

Icy Comet

…unable to think of a title for this post.  Story of my life.  *sigh*  Oh, well.  Might as well begin the post without an awesome title.

Well, you may or may not have guessed that I’m the new author on here.  So, yeah, if you guessed that then you’re right.  Guess I’d better tell you a little bit about myself.

I’m Icy Comet.  I’m a 13 year old girl who lives in the US.  I work on my own blog, Icy Comet’s Blog.  I also work on Super Thunder’s Blog.  I’m still trying to figure out how my blog came first but her’s gets way more views than my blog…  Just doesn’t figure does it?  I also work on a couple other blogs, but those are the main ones.

I have a tendency to make stupid mistakes, like that time I thought that cavemen were monsters from Monster Carnival Island (long story).  Or like that time I was so excited about Poptropica Friends that, when I was doing a post about two of the Creators’ posts, I put one of the posts in the wrong spot, and I forgot to put the other post on at all.  I don’t know, these mistakes seem to happen most on ST2’s blog.  It’s probably cursed or something.  Wouldn’t be surprised if that was true.  Anyway, just expect to see a lot of edits in my posts.

I’ve been playing Poptropica for a super long time.  I forgot when I first started playing, but I know that there were only three islands around the time that I first started.  My username is IcyComet69 (I know, that’s real creative, isn’t it).  Here’s a picture of my beautiful Poptropican:

I’m the biggest klutz in the world.  The kind of klutz who can trip on a flat surface and constantly does.  Oh, well, can’t be perfect at everything.

I LOVE contemporary christian music (CCM! 😀 ).  Especially when it’s rock music.  My top favorite artists are Third Day, Tenth Avenue North, Switchfoot, and BarlowGirl.  My dream is to have a t-shirt from BarlowGirl’s website.  The official most awesomest song on the planet is By Your Side by Tenth Avenue North, but I have about a gazillion, million, billion other favorites.  Yeah, I’m a little too obsessed with CCM, but at least it’s a good thing to be obsessed with.

I love making headers for my blog, though sometimes they don’t turn out too good.  Like the one that I have up right now.  I thought that the colors would go better together than that.  I don’t know, it didn’t look that bad when I was making it.  Oh, well, maybe they are awful, I’m still proud of them.

To me, The Lord of the Rings is one of the most amazing things ever invented.  I’m just waiting for the movie of The Hobbit to come out.  My life will be complete when that happens.

I love making my little Animoto video/slidshow guide things.  (You would only know about that if you have read my blog before.)  I don’t know if they’ve ever helped anybody, but I still like making them.

I think that’s about it.  Oh, Super Thunder wanted me to tell the world that she was stupid.  Don’t ask me why, cause I have no idea.  I wouldn’t do this for anyone else (and I don’t actually think she’s stupid), but, world, Super Thunder is stupid.  I better get lots of cookies for saying that.

Thanks SO much to Hijuyo for adding me as an author! 😀 I hope that you guys like me as an author!

*insert your favorite cookie here*

Super Thunder

Snickerdoodle!

*spotlight goes on the top of the stairs*

Wait, what? No, I’m down here, you overshot a bit!

*spotlight moves down*

Much better. So, as you can obviously see, or maybe not see, because of the spotlight, I’m the newest author of the PHB! Sure, you’re probably thinking, “Who in Early Poptropica’s clothesline is that?” Well, to be honest, I’m not really sure who I am, either. It all changes, every day. Usually, I’m a thirteen year old (though not for much longer!) girl, with the mind of a five year old. I have tried to defy gravity, and ended up with that. *points at bruised ankle*

I have a terrible sense of what is dangerous and what is not; cliff diving sounds appealing to me, and it is my dream to go skydiving. So far, no luck. I’ve only ever gone bungee jumping. I also have unhealthy obsessions. My current obsessions include Phantom of the Opera, and its sequel, Love Never Dies. Okay, so a lot of people think “What’s so appealing about that?” That’s what I thought the first time I saw it, but after… Ahhh… *in love*

I go by many names, including Christine, xMegxGiryx, Nessa, ST2, Super Thunder, and Wicked Witch of the East. No one ever seems to call me by my real name. Which is fine with me, I don’t like it anyway.

My attention span is tiny. I have no patience for what x is equal to and I never will. I also don’t… Oooh, look, a butterfly!

*returns ten minutes later, with  a butterfly*

Hellos & Goodbyes

A Farewell Story of Me.

Hicoga

Wow, been a long time since I’ve posted on here..

Hey guys, hope you still remember me, as GA or as Hicoga.

Yeah, I’m leaving the blog, which probably doesn’t come as much of a surprise considering that I’ve been dormant on here for the past year.

Now don’t think this means I’m leaving, leaving. You can find me all the time on the PHB chat. ( xat.com/thephc ) I’m really not going anywhere I just think that it isn’t very fair for me to hog up one of the spots on here when I don’t even really care about poptropica anymore.

Although if Juyo wanted to make this the Poptropica/Minecraft Help Blog I’d be all for it. 😉

Now I don’t want this to be just like any old farewell post. I’m going to let you all join me while I reminisce about my time here at the PHB.

“Crowd Groans”

So sit down, grab some popcorn, and enjoy.

It all started at school in 5th grade when my friend Mark told me about this new game he’d found on the internet. So I thought I’d try it out and logged on to “Poptropica.com”. I made a character named Golden Axe and played around for a bit in this new virtual world. Poptropica had just opened up about 1 year prior.

I beat all the islands and soon became bored with the game after about a week. I started searching for hidden things around the islands and on the internet. Of course, I eventually found the Poptropica Help Blog. At the time I had no clue I would one day be part of the site.

My favorite author at the time was Codien and he held this contest in one of his posts to get a beard added to your poptropican. I entered the contest and actually ended up being selected as one of the winners. He said the beard would be added to your character about a week afterward and so I waited. A week went by, no beard. Two weeks, Three weeks, and then I decided to take matters into my own hands.

I eMailed Hijuyo about my conflict and she was very helpful and got me my coveted beard. After that, we kept eMailing back and forth and soon became friends.

Well, the rest is history.

Thank you to everyone on here and I hope this blog stays successful for years and years to come.

And by the way, going back to what I said earlier, I am starting up a Minecraft blog called “The Daily Block” Check it out by clicking the picture below.

Poptropolis Games Island, Wimpy Boardwalk Island

What time is it? Summer time!

Slanted Fish

And on Poptropica, that means Wimpy Boardwalk island is in the works! Here’s a clip from the Creators showing a bit of their creative process.

Also, next Thursday, June 14, marks the grand opening of the Poptropolis Games for everyone! This means that there’s only one week left before the members-only bonus “Wrestling Gear” costume is no longer available! Its limited time ends after the early access period.

In other news, PHB author MT recently resigned from the blog for personal reasons. If you would like to say goodbye, click here to go to his farewell post.

We’ll miss you here, Tacoz.

Poptropolis Games Island, Wallpapers, Wimpy Boardwalk Island

A Friendly Reminder and a Wimpy Wallpaper

Brave Tomato

Stumped on the pole vault?

*character runs towards the pole vault*

Random Person: I can do this!

*in the launch area, the RP held on to the mouse too long and just flipped over the pole*

Random Person: Okay, maybe I can’t do this.

Epically failing at the weight-lifting?

*a random person plays the game, but has one of those touch-screen laptop mouses*

Random Person 2: X, X, X, X… curse this mouse!

Well, before we break those monitors, the Creators give us this friendly reminder about the fact that we don’t have to place first in every single event. As long as you’re good at the others. 😐

Going for the gold

The good thing about the Poptropolis Games is that you don’t need to place first in every event in order to win the gold medallion. The winner of the Games is the one with the best overall performance, which means you can have a few clunkers and still come out on top.

It’s a good thing, too! Some of these events are tough. I laid an egg on the pole vault the last time I played.

Some of you may have already won the gold medallion, but has anybody out there placed first in every single event? That’s a feat we’d love to see!

Remember, Poptropolis Games is open to Members now. It will be available for everyone to play on June 14.

Thanks to you, CC, you’ve saved so many monitors. I mean- the first time I did the island, I got second place, and it was kinda annoying. Moving right along, in celebration of Wimpy Wonderland Boardwalk, the Creators released the desktop wallpaper and the printable poster for the new summer Wimpy Kid island!

Wimpy Boardwalk extras now available!

We’re making a splash to start the summer. Now, when you visit the Wimpy Boardwalk info page, you can download a new desktop wallpaper and printable poster!

Wimpy Boardwalk is coming soon to Poptropica. Keep reading our blog for the latest news!

In case you’re wondering, this is what the poster looks like:
Greg looks so different with color. But different’s good. Unless you’re being pelted by rocks instead of the usual tomatoes. In that case, stick with what you know.
BT out!
