I went and had some fun at the Haunted Fairground. I even won another Headless Von Roo plushie! I have twenty of them. I went alone. No one wanted to go with me, they were all to busy either hiding because it was Friday the 13th, or playing pranks on others because of it. Despite being alone, it was a lot of fun. I even went and watched the petpets in the Spooky Petpet Store in the Haunted Woods. It was funny, this one cute little furwitch really wanted to come home with me! Jack didn't like her much though. So I left her there. It was kinda cute, the way she hopped along trying to keep up...I felt kinda bad though.

Dec. 14, 2002

It was a good day! I went and played in some of the empty rooms of the house. Xby continues to plan for the extra rooms. I have my own plans. That's the nice thing of there being a spooky furniture shop. Besides, she PROMISED I could have two rooms to myself. So it's okay for me to plan ahead. It's not like I'm being like Psy, who just wants a single floor to herself!

Found a rug, tossed it in the safety deposit box. It's PINK. SO not what I want.

Dec. 15, '02

Ran into Kithy. Urk. Just because Ulyyf is Xby's friend, she thinks she can come around anytime she wants. I can't believe the nerve of her! Like any of US want to see her. Well, okay, maybe Jubs likes hanging out with her. And Jack lets her scratch his back. But so what? It just proves they got fooled by her too, just like Xby! She just sat on my NEW bed that I got today and starting going on and on about how creepy my new look will be, as if I cared about her opinion. THEN she tells me "if you need any np, you just let me know honey." Wink-wink. I don't need HER help. Xby said if I invest my money I can buy what I want with it and I did! I sell my own scratchcards! I already paid back Xby the money she gave me to start out with. Obviously that isn't good enough for Miss It. It's a good thing she told Xby she couldn't stay for dinner. It was my turn to cook and I would have given her something gross!

Dec. 16, '02

Not much today. I went and played in the neighborhood. It's nice living in faerieland, even if Xby did it to cut down on the number of people that could beg from her. Something about being too far away for them to make the effort. I went and visited Illusen. She scratchs my ears...and lets me have tons of cream cookis. Not that Xby would mind, as long as I still ate normal food and all. But it's still really nice of Illusen to do stuff like that. She even gave me a yellow clockwork grundo! I gave it to Psy to get more points for Meridell. Darigan is gaining or something like that. At some point, they were supposedly in the lead. Not that I care. It's not like they could take away Mik or Marja, even if Meridell is destroyed. But it's where Illusen lives, so I'll take care to not let darigan win easily.

Dec. 17, '02

Kithy wasn't paying attention. I mean, she must not have been! Or maybe she didn't know how much it was worth. Ulyyf gave Xby her christmas present. A limited edition evil chia plushie! That's why I think that Kithy wasn't paying attention. That thing is worth a small fortune. Xby has been drooling over them since she first saw one. I bet Kithy will come and and try to take it back or something. Or...or...I know. She's softening Xby up. Any day now, she's going to make some huge request of Xby. Like...like...a draik egg. Or something. Any day now.

Dec. 18th, '02

Weird...no Kithy. She must be keeping me in suspense. I can't believe Xby thinks Kithy is "sweet and helpful". Hmph. Humans. What do they know.

On to MY day. :) I went shopping with Twinkie and Psy. Twinkie borrowed some np from me and Psy, so that he could surprise Ice. Means it is a very good thing that Ice never bothers to read my page. I've never heard of a petpet buying his owner anything! Twinkie wouldn't tell us what he bought him. He just asked us to put his collar on him, so that no one would think he was a stray and try to sell him. Personally, I think no one would try to pick up anything that looked like Twinkie. He looks like he could take your paw off at the joint.

I did get a new plushie for Xby. It's only a white kougra plushie, but I know she'll like it. I know what Psy got her, but she made me promise not to tell at all. Not even to my faithful readers! :) I think they'll survive.

Other than that, we all helped Xby pack up. She's going to go spend a month with her family, off in the Southwest. We hope it snows for her! We're invited...but given a choice between the people who treat us like puppies (I am NOT playing fetch!) and having the run of the house, yeah, we all decided to stay home. We'll all go over for Christmas! The downside is that Xby knows better than to leave the computer easily accessed, so my diary isn't going to be updated as often. Just when Uly or Ray or maybe Glitzy or someone comes over to unlock the room and let us in. It's not fair to have that many locks on a door!

Dec. 19th, '02

Xby called real quick to say she was home and ok, and was going to bed. Her cold has gotten worse, so we could barely understand her.

Kithy must know that the main breadwinner is out of the house. She hasn't been by. Or maybe I got lucky, and Uly put her on a leash.

It's weird having such a big empty place to ourselves! Our half sibs Mik, Marja, Trooper, Light, Lissy and the new foster child Fire are staying with us. You would think that even with 74 rooms and a garden we would still be crowded. Nope. Then again, that could be because she's only been gone a day. At least we have all the petpets. None of us knew that Lissy and Trooper didn't have one!

Dec 20, '02

I let all the petpets out. ALL of them, right out of Xby's safety deposit boxes! All three of them. :) It makes the house less empty. Grembles, everywhere! :)

As well, I went off and took Jubs shopping. She always feels so neglected. I'm kind of jealous of her though, she's so tough. I'm not. Not as tough as her! That's why Xby likes her so much. Jubs only half believes that though. So I try to show her otherwise. I hadn't been to Neopia Central in a while, so when Jubs suggested Christmas shopping there, I decided, eh, why not! Not like I would run into Kithy there. Not high enough profile for her. Maybe I ought to give her another chance. I mean, christmas season and all.

I do know what to get Jubs for her pressie. A pretty book! :) I never knew she loved to read so much. So I'm going to go and look for something like the enchanted butterfly book for her. :)

As I sit here and type, I realize everyone is gone. Marja, Psy and Jubs went to the food store, Mik, Ice and Light went to the battle magic store, and Trooper took Lissy and Fire to the pound to start looking for a new foundling for when Fire gets a new home. I would even let Kithy in for a little company!

Dec. 21, '02

No word from anyone! :( Almost enough to make an aisha feel really unloved around here. And now I'm getting a cold! Without anyone to take care of me when I'm sick! Maybe I'm just being melodramatic, it can't be a cold. I haven't been sick in forever!

Dec. 22, '02

It's a cold. A nasty, icky, disgusting, painful cold that is making me feel like yarking all over the bed. YARKING!!! The first person to put their head through that doorway better be here to make me feel better, or I'm going to be maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad!!

Dec. 23, '02

My cold hasn't been improved. Uly came by today, to see how we're doing. She didn't stick around very long. She's not in a good mood. Apparently, Xby made some comment about feeding Fyyrn omelettes, and he's Uly's gourmet club pet. So Uly didn't think it was funny. I don't either...but then again, my NOSE is swollen to the size of a ptolymelon. Not much IS funny.
There are candy vampires under my bed right now. I wonder if Xby will make me put all of them back in the sdb when she gets back, with their little blankies and food dishes. I hope not, it's fun to play with all of them!

Jan. 3, 2003

It's the flu. Was the flu. Xba went and asked Ray and Uly what to do with me. Other than not let me near anyone else. *sniff* I hate being sick! I ache all over, and no one can play with me or they'll get sick too, and I'm lonely! I mean, Xba came back the day after Christmas, and we had OUR christmas, the whole lot of us, and then, because I was sick, she couldn't take us all to go see some movie in her world. So she bought a dvd of some show called Lord of the Rings, and we watched that. Wish I had a bow and arrow. Or a MAGIC ring! *sniff* Or just a hug. :(
It's aisha day, did I mention that? Ran into Kithy at the academy. She's taking advantage of the free training too. She had Uly remind Xba to drop me off to be trained. Is that her way of saying that I'm a weakling? Because I'm not. I'm just sick. I'm a really strong baby aisha! I'm lots stronger than my sibs, except for Psy because she's the lab pet. And a he right now. But I can't stand the way Kithy does things. If I didn't know better I would think that she was nice. You know what? She isn't. Not one bit. The only time that Kithy is nice is if there is something that she has to gain by it, like making me look bad. I think she hates me because I make sure that Xba doesn't go overboard when it comes to getting presents for her and for Uly. Because anything that Uly gets, Kithy gets. Spoiled rotten brat. She makes Aisha's look bad. she makes us look like we're all double dealing whiners who have a habit of soliciting donations. WE'RE NOT!! I'm not.
Hmph. Anyways...there's now a muty aisha. It's about time. It looks great. Bet I would like Kithy more if she was a mutant.
I wish my friends could come over.
Enough moping. I'm to pack up and go over to Uly's, she's going to take care of me for a while. She and Xba decided that I needed OUT of the house for a bit. Uly hugged me! She picked me up and gave me a big huggle and told me she knew what it was like, and that she had had flu shots. I wouldn't want a shot. :'( But she wasn't scared to get sick or anything! Yay! I got a hug! And now I have to pack. Once I find my scarf.

Jan. 4, '03

Well, I feel LOTS better. Kithy wasn't allowed near me, and I got to sleep on a really comfy couch to boot. Uly's home is so beautiful. I get to go back when I'm not contagious, to play with the kids.
I didn't realize how stuffed up I was! I wonder what was in the tea that Uly gave me. Maybe that's the real reason that Xba sent me to her house! She must have known that Uly of all people was most likely to make me feel better! I didn't even know that she was an empress. But she is! She's the Grand High Empress of Everything. And Xba is her bodyguard. I don't know that I ever would have thought of Xba as anything but the chick who raises us. But in some twisted way, it makes sense! Not to mention it's just cool.

Jan. 5, '03
If I talk, I'm going to scream.

Jan. 6, '03
For the record, I'm only writing because Xba is making me.

Jan. 7, '03
If I hear one more LOTR quote, I'm throwing both movie discs AND the appendixes out the window and off the cloud. And hiding her calendar.

Jan. 8, '03
Someone come save me. She's lost it. She's calling me FRODO. And she keeps talking to herself. A lot. I think we're all getting just a bit scared in here.

Jan. 9, '03
ILLUSEN!!! She's GONE! Meridell is wrecked and she...she's gone! Maybe she went to help clean up or something. But she's not in her grove now. So no more ear scratches or late talks or nothing!
I'm crying right now, although Xba doesn't know it. I locked myself in with the computer. I don't think she'll notice if I finish fast enough. I just...we all fought so hard, I even fought! I never fight! Xba wanted to train me well first! But no, I fought, I insisted, and I tried...Illusen, Turmaculas, Turdles, I'm sorry! I wanted to make Meridell last, I really did!
I guess crying isn't going to do any good. I'm going to grab my sibs and head to Uly's, see if anyone there is willing to come with us. Meridell deserves to be told Good-bye before it vanishes back through the mists of time.

Jan. 10, '03
Please don't talk right now.

Jan. 24, '03
I know I haven't been updating in a very long while, but that's not the important thing. Do you really want to hear me whine about the various factors that made me not want to write, or would you rather hear about what made me get of my arse and start writing today? Actually, you're here now, and if you DON'T wanna hear it, you have a back button!
You see, I logged on before Xba was awake, and logged her into AIM (no, you can't have her sn!). It's autologin, so all I had to do was hit login. Then Xiggy came on, and started talking to me...she thought it was Xba. I was going to put up an away message, until she said something that had me scrambling to wake Xba up. She said Uly had been FROZEN. It had to be a mistake, so now Xba has us pets scrambling to get people to email frozen@neopets.com, demanding that Ulyyf be allowed back. See, there were these people who claimed to be Uly. And what we think is that either she was frozen with the imposters by mistake, or maybe someone tried getting into her account, so the staff froze it to protect it.
In the meantime, there isn't much we can do, but it doesn't mean we're not going to try. I have a plan of my own, so I'll have to get Xba to help me. I don't see why she wouldn't, Uly is one of her best friends after all! So I have to dart off now and set the wheels in motion. On the other hand, this has pushed Xba back into I&S, if only long enough to spread the word. Bye!

Jan 26, '03
Dancing for joy because Uly is BACK. :) It even made Xba shut up about LOTR. :) Welcome back Auntie! Now keep Kithy away from me!

Feb. 3, '03
Wow, I've had such a busy week! Uly's bday came and went, she liked her gifts. :) I'm thrilled beyond reckoning that she's actually back.
Then I've also gone with Lue and Ky, two of Ray's pets, and we went shopping!! It was such a blast. Lue is telekinetic, and used that to keep us in line for most of the night. Even though she has this bizarre idea that I look good in fuschia. No clue why.
Then again, Ky and I basically did knock poor Lue off her feet. She didn't really expect us to be THAT rambuctious, I guess. Not to mention, she let us take our petpets with us. After we helped boost the sales of the baby paintbrush and met Fyora, we went home. Don't ask me to explain that last statement, or what I was doing shopping in Faerieland instead of the Spooky Woods. Oh, and the water in the healing spring? Yah, it's really good for your fur! I can't remember the last time my hair was THAT glossy and lovely.
Hm...Uly's bday, the shopping trip...yup, that's everything. Oh, wait. Xba is sick. Approach her at your own risk!

2/4/03

I'm so very lazy...I've refused to do anything that wasn't a normal chore for this whole past week! Of course, it's just coincidence that all my chores are things to do with the petpets. :) I think Xba ought to get a final account, that way she can have a FULL gallery. Except petpets. Those get to play with me!

2/5/03

Whoa, Jubs is strong. *giggles* She just sort of attacked (for lack of a better word!) Mik, our half-brother, because he wouldn't stop mangling Sinatra songs. Mik CANNOT sing, not to save his life. He couldn't carry a tune if it had handles! We all knew Jubs was tough, but still, wow!
Of course, Xba had to put her on restriction. She can't have us all fighting with each other every which way! That's ok, she also put Mik on restriction for bugging Jubs to that point in the first place.

2/6/03

Xba is going crazy again...She found a ring online_ and it's 35 bucks (US) and she WANTS TO BUY IT. I don't even know how much that is in np, and I don't want to think about it! But it's "the one ring", and it comes with a chain. She plans to use it as an excuse for her weirdness or something.
Almost Valentine's Day! I hope Xba gets us all a box of chocolates again!

2/9/03

Skipped a few days there. Didn't feel like writing, even though Xba and Uly both asked me to. I get a bit tired of detailing my little life for people who would rather not hear any of it!
Unless you DO want to hear about it? Hm...Neomail me if you do! And then I'll feel loved...of course, you'll have to send it to Xba's mail account.

2/10/03

Crazy. Apparently, there's this game called everquest, and there are so many people there, the money on there has an actual monetary value now. I bet the only reason neopets doesn't is because you're not allowed to sell any of its stuff. But that's so cool!
My day was pretty good. Xba has us all drinking lots of orange juice so that none of us get sick. She's drinking it too, and she got this kind with calcyum or something like that. It's supposed to keep our bones strong or some such.
Plus I got to help Xba label diagrams for her vert notebook. It was kinda gross, but still cool. :) At least I didn't have to help her scan them in on the computer. She went to her friend's place for that, and she took Ice.
Didn't do much else. Xba changed her lookup, and it's creeping me out. But at least she no longer calls any of us Frodo. Psy says we should be thankful she never called any of us Boromir, something about what happened in the first movie. All I remember is the Uruk-hai. They were COOL. And tough!
That was my day. :) See ya next time I update!

2/12/03
I found your picture today, I swear I'll change my ways. I just called to say I want you to come back home. I found your picture today, I swear I'll change my ways. I just called to say I want you to come back home. I just called to say I love you, come back home." Xba is BLASTING her stereo...I've never heard some of this music before. Not that it's BAD music. I'm just afraid she's going to go deaf!
On to my day. I did nothing. I slept, ate, and um...bathed. That's it.

2/13/03
That HUMAN music is pretty addictive. Oh, I forgot to mention, we're all now pets in a guild. Scary. Xba up and joined one that belongs to a friend of hers because she says she was too lazy to make one.
Kithy came by to drop off a note to Xba. I don't know what it said, but Xba told Kithy she only needed maybe a month until she had the money for the bed. I wonder what she's up to...We all have been sleeping on mattresses (except me!) for a long while, so I have no clue what is going on. But it makes me nervous, especially since it involves Kithy. Nothing involving Kithy is good but her family.

2/14/03
Happy Valentine's Day!
This is such a cute holiday. Xba needs to get off her bum and send out the presents for her friends that we all picked out, she's making us look bad!
I gave all my sibs little pieces of haunted food and snowballs for their valentines. ;) I wanted to draw some, but I don't think they would have liked my designs, so that one was a no-go. But they did like what I gave them, and Jubs even gave me one with a little spooky bat she drew that said on the front "You make me shiver!" and on the inside, it said "Anyone that cute is scary! Happy Valentine's Day!" I put it on my wall for everyone to read.
Other than that, I ran and visited everyone to wish them the best of days. It's important they all know that they're loved!

2/15/03
It's Xba's dad's birthday, but no one was home when she called. Too bad...:(
We went shopping today. Bought some trifles for the house, Ice finally decided what style furniture he wants (tiger, go figure), so now Xba is rebuilding his suite. He wants TRANPARISTEEL. Or however you spell it. Ouch.
Kithy hasn't been seen today. Maybe I should ask Uly why Xba was talking about a bed.
