You know, I think it has been over a year since I was really doing school regularly. Currently I’m not doing any regular school and I enjoy it:)

It’s been really interesting reading through my posts! You know, Bethjoy.com’s second anniversary is coming up! Two years of posts… Wow. It’s rather interesting reading about all of the projects I never completed… You know, it’s been about a year since I tried to post a picture on here. Maybe I’ll see if I can post a picture on here. Lets see…

Remarkable, I finally found why pictures don’t work… I read the help section! I think I’ll have a question or two for Daniel tomorrow… Though since he was so nice about putting stats up finally for my website I doubt I’ll bug him much about my not being able to post pictures. Though at some point I think it would be fun to be able to post pictures on my website directly from my computer.

I was reading through my posts and I found that I have been asking Daniel to let me see the stats on my website since April 18, 2003! At least that is when I posted my wish and desire for it. Reading through my old posts is quite interesting…

And getting more positive feedback on my writing means naturally, more writing! I am not going to write a nice long post at this time but I’m just writing a little note here for myself to write more about my brothers doings. I went over to the Collage and Careers night this evening after church. All three of my brothers are actively involved there. One young woman mentioned that she read about my brothers on my website so I think I’ll mention more of what they are doing so that she, or anybody else who is interested, will know. My brothers are very nice almost all of the time. Occasionally, though it is very seldom, they can be slightly annoying but not very often. Andrew is very interesting as far as logic is concerned and that may occasionally cause communication problems but it is normally well meant by him. I don’t think I’ll list all of my brother’s faults as this time because quite frankly, I don’t know of that many and the ones I do know of don’t exactly count… Normally they do remember to give my presents for my birthday and Christmas. And speaking of Christmas it’s coming up! In fact, Daniel, John, and Andrew, though I plan to mention this at breakfast tomorrow morning, we are probably going to have a gift exchange on Thanksgiving which is in a couple of days. I’m going to get something for each of you. Of course giving is a lot a better than receiving but far be it from me to hog all of the benefits! And in case it is not extremely obvious to anybody who is even remotely aquainted with me, I like receiving presents.

And that is enough of a post for now as my Dad is making ice cream and I want to go down and eat it.

I have been thinking about writing another random piece of text and I think I will do so. I hope you enjoy it. Sadly, I don’t feel extremely creative this evening. It has been a fairly long day. I am still working on previewing a rather large stack of DVD’s. At some point I think I’ll start writing DVD reviews as that my be informative. Enjoy the random piece of text all though that is not an order.

“Sir, document.write(lkk) document.write(dao) are document.write(sls)!” said a document.write(b) document.write(d) document.write(f) as he raced into his commander’s office. “Well don’t worry about that”, his commander said while rising to his feet. “They’ll never get us while I stand.” At that moment a document.write(h) hit the commander and document.write(j). “document.write(l).” said a document.write(n) lieutenant who was standing near.

Now if you were wondering what happened next, I am too. But I happen to have a case of writers block therefore I fear this is all that you will hear at this time about the document.write(lkk) document.write(dao)… You can assume whichever side you prefer won.

“Sir, pink elephants are attacking.” said the breathless young private as he raced into his commander’s office. “Well don’t worry about that”, his commander said while rising to his feet. “They’ll never get us while I stand.” At that moment a projectile hit the commander and knocked him down. “I fear that in trouble we are.” said a handsome lieutenant who was standing near.

Now if you were wondering what happened next, I am too. But I happen to have a case of writers block therefore I fear this is all that you will hear at this time about the pink elephants… You can assume whichever side you prefer won.

As I have just found that a lot of people come to my website I am going to post another bit of random text I just wrote. Here it is and please forgive the occasional grammatical errors.

I wish to prove that random stories can be used for far more than just fairy tales. Therefore I am going to write this sort of post and then randomize it. First I will show this original version of the post and then beneath it I will show a randomized version of this same post. If you see two identical posts then… Well just refresh. I hope to make this interesting and humorous. So let us see what I can do with this simple little post…

My dear older brother Daniel just set up something for my website that I’ve been wanting, a way for me to see how many people have been on my website. So, in case you were wondering, as of a few minutes ago 245 unique visitors have been on my site! And that is JUST FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER!!! Last month it was 360!!! Now if I had a donation spot and everyone donated a dollar… Never mind that last sentence. But it is impressive that that many people have been to my website! I do wish to thank you for reading my website if you do so. I hope that it is interesting and entertaining. And speaking of interesting and entertaining, I think I’m going to post a few more stories on here. Some that I’ve already written but haven’t posted. Though chances are I’ll do that later when I can’t think of anything to say. But it is quite impressive reading the statistics on my website! So far there have been 575 visits, so that is an average of 2.34 visits per person. There have been 2816 pages loaded, which is about 4.89 pages a visit(these statistics are written down.) And remember, this is just for the month of November which is not even over yet! In fact, so far to day there have been 9 visits to my website! The most visits so far this month was on the eighth of November when there were 46 visits and 103 pages loaded. However the amount of pages loaded record is undoubtedly held by the ninth of Nomember when 464 pagees were loaded. There were only thirty visits that day. This is all really fun to read!!! It seems as though most people stay on my website for short periods of time but about 64 have been on there for 1h+. I hope I’m not scaring you by what can be traced on the internet… And don’t worry, it doesn’t list anybodies names or credit card numbers:)

And since I’m having hundreds of page hits on my website I’m going to try and write more posts and stories etc. for here so that I may be able to attract even more readers! This is really exciting!

Today I start out with an excellent title. Sadly, I have little else to say. I have been watching a lot of dvd’s throughout the previous few days. I found four DVD’s worth of Ozzie and Harriet and I’ve been watching them.

Yesterday, Wednesday, I went to Toys R Us. I was extremely extravagant and spent $16.11 on a brand new doll for me. She is very pretty I think. She has red hair and blue eyes. She is smaller than a barbie doll. I didn’t really like the outfit she was wearing when I bought her so I’ve already sewed her three new outfits. It seems to be the current trend in dolls to have large heads. Which means that I have to change my approach to sewing an outfit. If I make a medieval dress for me I make it to slip over my head. However since my dolls head is larger in circumference than her shoulders… I am making the outfits to slip on from below. Sewing is very interesting.

Speaking of spending Christmas on a cruise ship in Hawaii… That is what I probably will be doing. My dad has already booked the cruise! I will be on the Norwegien wind. I get a room with a window in it! My brothers are going on this cruise unlike last time. It ought to be fun! I don’t really think I’m in much of a writing mood at present. Therefore I will probably end this post now.

Well, here is the latest random story. I hope that you enjoy it. I included the orignional random story that I randomized. Which is why there are two stories. It is possible for both stories to show up the same, however it is highly unlikely. Don’t forget to refresh a lot. And one special thing about this story is that every single bit of this story is random. So everything can change.

This was the original story I wrote. It is now randomized in the above story. “Once upon a time there was a handsome hero named George who loved eating pizza. One day he saw a beautiful princess and immediately fell in love with her. He was overjoyed to find that she was promised in marriage to anybody who could slay the evil dragon that was molesting the people. So he immediately set out to do this noble deed. After great difficulty he was able to slay the evil dragon. George returned then with proof of his deed and was able to marry the princess that very day. And they lived happily ever after. We hope…”

I was downstairs a few minutes ago and was talking to Daniel about the differences, the plusses and the minuses, the so forths and etc.rays of certain online games I play. He suggested that I write it into a post so I think that I will.

Currently I am playing three different online games where you can adopt pets, earn money to spend on the pets, play games, and use the chat boards(which I hardly ever do) etc. Each of them have there particular plusses and minuses. Now, just so you know, ALL of them have prizes for referring people so please, don’t make a move toward these websites unless you give me credit for referring you, and I have different usernames on all of them.

First of all is Neopets.com please use this link to go there. Then make an account. They do send a few minor emails out every once in a while, like every few months, but nothing that is not related to Neopets. You will need an active email to sign up. I’ve been on Neopets for the longest time.

Next, in length of time on, Comes Powerpets. I believe that clicking on that will let me get all of the glory of your sign up.

Finally, and most recently, comes Furry-Paws.com. I’m still really, really new on Furry-Paws so I don’t know much about the referral prizes, or where the links can be found. I do however have an account number that you type in when making an account. My number is 77658. Alright. I now have the basic information and therefore can begin my post.

I first started playing Neopets some twenty months ago so I’m a “veteran” user there to some extent. I have about 2,200,000 neopoints, which is no small sum. Neopets, the online game, is about five years old or so. I heard about it from a cousin of mine who played it. The main difference between Neopets and Powerpets or Furry-Paws, are the pets. For they are nonexistent animals that you can adopt on Neopets while on Powerpets and Furry-Paws they are more of actual pets. As Neopets has been on the internet for much longer than PP or FP it has a lot more stuff on it. However that is not all good. For one thing, Neopets has advertising. It isn’t too bad, no pop ups etc. but quite a few of the games are advertisements. They also have lots of merchandise you can buy. And a LOT more games than the other two games. Most of the games are quite fun, who could resist playing Meerca Chase? And you do get around 100 or so neopoints per game you play. You can play each game three times a day for neopoints. One other nice things about Neopets is that the news updates about five days a week and there is usually quite a lot in a new update. They will have plots, special events, and new items. There are lots of fun places to explore as well. However the “Freebies” aren’t very good. But you can get enough free food to feed your neopets. You are only allowed to have four neopets.

I think that’s enough about neopets for now. Next comes Powerpets! I’ve been on Powerpets since 6/21/2004. Long enough to know most of the ins and outs of the game. Powerpets has not been around for as long as Neopets, but it has been around for a few years. Powerpets also has no advertising. The money to keep the game running comes from donations from the players. You can get some really neat online stuff for donating too. It is not a problem for somebody to begin rolling in wealth in a short time on Powerpets as the freebies are excellent. Every three hours, instead of every twenty four, you can get free stuff. However on Powerpets things like “Taxes” exist. When you have a shop and you want to take your money out, surprise! The tax man shows up and takes a percentage. However you can still make good profits in your shop anyway. Powerpets is “Educationally” based. They have detailed information on the pets you can adopt. Also several of the “Quests” require typing in correct information on the pets that can be found in the Petpedias. Another really fun thing on Powerpets is that they have Books that you can actually read. The books are written by the powerpet’s players who can submit them, and then earn commissions on every book sold. It is nice being able to read the books because on Neopets, you can’t. Updates are frequent, but as not as much on Powerpets. Every week there is the Powerpets News that lists the new things, and gives a hint of what may come. There are a few games on Powerpets which are fun. However the amount of Powerpoints you can earn from them is not particularly great. There is something very nice for those who want to save there money, and get plenty of money back. Long term saving bonds can be purchased and then when the time is completed, you can get several thousand powerpoints back.

Now for Furry-Paws. I’m only listing the barest facts on these websites, because I could go on and on about the details. Furry-Paws is a dog lovers dream website. You can adopt dogs from just about any breed you want. You can breed them, show them, play with them, feed them, train them, etc. You can host shows, and get money back from the entry fees too. One of the really annoying things about this website is that it loads very slowly. As it has no advertising whatsoever and all money is from donations I am assuming that a faster server can’t be afforded. Also the website is only about a year old or so. However it is very fun. I’ve only been playing for less than a week so I don’t know all of the ins and outs quite yet. But I’m learning. One of the great pluses about this game is that you can have a job. A job which actually can help you financially. I am a merchant, which means I get a discount in the regular shops:) So I buy and sell items and make a small profit, though later when I advance I hope to really be rolling in the dough.

I’m sorry to say that I am tired of typing so I think I will end this post at the current moment. However I think I will give a final little bit of information for those interested.

Neopets is fun if you want more of a crazy constantly changing sites that is not based in reality and has lots of merchandise. You can adopt strange animals like Uni’s(wing horses/unicorns), Lupes(wolf sort of), and quite a few other strange creatures. There is an animal that will appeal to you probably as there is a great variety of creatures.

Powerpets is fun if you want a calmer game that you can actually get ahead in easily and won’t take up all your day if you do everything. You can adopt real animals like horses, seals, cat, dogs, ferrets etc. These do require being taken care of, or else you won’t get to play certain parts of the game. Plenty of goals to work for in this game as you will probably want to be Elite, and it’s quite a job getting to be Elite. I am Elite though.

Furry-Paws is fun if you like dogs. Especially if you can’t or don’t want to have a real dog. You can enter your dog in shows, increase it stats, and learn a tad bit about dogs, though not much. You can adopt just about any breed of dog there is. Plus no advertising:) There are almost no games though but there is plenty of other stuff. The weekly salaries are nice too.

So there you have it, a small guide on three popular online games. I may, in the future, write a more detailed post on each of these websites. But please, use my referral links to go to them. And even if you don’t plan on playing, make an account. Just think of it as a nice Christmas present to me:) And who knows, you just might have a lot of fun playing. It is fun to have pets. I have a Uni, Lupe, Cybunny and Lab pet on Neopets. A Seal and Cat on Powerpets. And five Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs on Furry-Paws. And if I go away on a trip I don’t have to worry about there being fed or taken care of. Because I know that I just log off and then when I log back on, there they are! PLUS I don’t have to worry about them chewing up anything or making a mess in my room. And if I want to cuddle something, I have plenty of stuffed animals. So who needs all of the troubles of a real pet? Adopt an Online pet today!!! And make sure I get the referral prizes for it:) Links etc. at the top of this post in case you’ve forgotten by now.

There are several disadvantages of writing the subject titles before writing the post. For although you may know what you want to write about beforehand (which I usually don’t) sometimes you don’t write what you thought you were going to write and you can only do so many “Time for another post” posts.

I have herewith decided to attempt the writing of a new short story for here. I have absolutely no clue what I’m going to write and since I seldom do any extensive editing what you are about to read could be interesting. So without further ado I am going to show of my typing and writing skills.

Once upon a time a long time ahead, technology had advanced so far as to make writing obsolete. Portable typing devices had grown so popular that handwriting was no longer even taught in schools, unless you went to a special collage on the ancient communication methods of past centuries.
Now into this setting a scientist from 1802 time warped himself. Of course, back in those times, the typewriter had not even been invented.

The scientist name was Leoapold Stowkalidan and in order that it will be even harder to prove this story false, I won’t say where he was from. However, I have a feeling that Einstein must have found his notes. But on arriving in the technologically advanced world he was most struck with the plumbing facilities. Also with the

Okay, I am about to do something that I do often in my stories. Stop. For one thing, I don’t really know where to go from here and I think I’m better at fairy tales. For those who would like to know what an unsuccessful story is like, I will leave the above in. But any-rate Leapold Stowkalidan was never able to get back.

Once upon a time there was a beautiful young princess who loved to sing. The fact that she could not, while singing, make any sounds pleasant to the ear did not bother her in the slightest, though it did bother nearly everyone around her.

MORAL: It is usually a good idea to find out what you are getting yourself into before getting into it.

And that was a piece of fiction on how earplugs where invented. Comming up next on Bethjoy.com, Another Post!
