Month: November 2017

Aurora recently sent me an A shirt in the mail. I decided to wear it for a while. I’m guessing the “A” stands for Aurora. Maybe she’s claiming me or something?

I’ve continued giving away some items to people lately. Someone left me a bag of bells even though I said I didn’t need the money, so I decided to give it away as well. I tried dropping it on a Club Tortimer island, and a Japanese player seemed to think it was an accident. 😛

Even though he didn’t need or want the money, I found someone else who gladly accepted it.

Back in Forest, I apparently did something that made Boots sad. I might have declined his request to play hide-and-seek.

Kate let me visit Reese’s RV, and I was surprised to see Reese talking about road rage. 😛 Thanks again, Kate!

Look at this fossil I dug up! I’ve never seen this one! 😉

The fishing tournament was held on Saturday, but I didn’t participate. I was able to check out the winners’ ceremony, though. Vivian was the big winner, while Aurora won 2nd and Hornsby won 3rd.

I’ve mentioned some good experiences on Club Tortimer recently, and I’ve had more of them over the past week.

But I also had this. This guy’s first words to me, completely unprovoked, were “pls get out.” The shop selection wasn’t very good, so I was happy to leave him behind. 😛 As I was leaving, he said that he blocked me. 😛

Later, I helped Ghost get enough visitors to her town so that she could upgrade her train station. She even let me join her at her town tree to check the number of visits she’s had.

Once she reached her goal, we celebrated with an obligatory Shrunk Funk Shuffle. I wanted to fire off some party poppers, but I didn’t have any. 😛

On Facebook, I gave away more items over the weekend. I even saw TZ again and I gave her some beans.

Colin dropped off Katie at my town on Friday, and by Sunday, Katie was ready to explore a new place. I found someone on Facebook to take her; her town name provided for some interesting dialogue from Katie.

My visiting spree appeared to be paying off when Agent S told me she has heard I’m a pro visitor. I’m pretty sure nobody’s ever said that about me before.

Yesterday, Vivian suggested a new PWP (public works project) for me. She wants me to add a hot spring to town!

That was the last of the snooty PWP suggestions I needed! In fact, I believe all of the non-bridge PWPs have been suggested and added to my list now! (You can’t get new bridge suggestions when you already have three bridges.) Anyway, this is what the hot spring looks like.

It is a nice one, and I may consider it if/when I decided to add a new project to town. It would have been a fun one to glitch into though; too bad Nintendo fixed the net glitch with the Welcome Amiibo update.

As for Vivian, I still don’t plan on letting her move out anytime soon. Of course, it takes forever for the Welcome Amiibo villagers to ask about leaving anyway. So if you’re wondering who I’ll let leave next, I think it’ll be Lily.

I made some more train visits, including to Ashe’s town. She was looking for a mermaid dresser, so I bought one on the island and took it to her.

And late last night, I finally saw what I’ve been dying to see: Phineas!! He gave me the Space Traveler badge for making 500 visits to other towns!

This badge took me forever–four and a half years! And I still would have been waiting if I hadn’t made a concerted effort to make lots of visits over the last several weeks. This is what my badge collection screen currently looks like.

There are only two badges left, but I’m not worrying about getting them anytime soon. The weeding badge could take me another year or two, and I may never get the gold StreetPass badge. So here is a GIF showing my badge progress over the past four years.

Today, Harvey had a basic display stand for sale at the campground. I thought this would look better in Booker’s house than the tables I was currently using, so I bought it. Of course, I’ll need a lot more of them. But fortunately, I have Candi’s Welcome Amiibo card, and she has the stand in her RV. So I scanned her card and ordered three more.

I’ll need to repeat this a few more times, but Booker’s house will look a lot better once I’m done.

My recent dream visitors have been Grey from Softspot, Beth from Ponytown, Sienna from Dogster, Lara from Polen, and Din from Labrynna. Thanks for stopping by!

Last week, Colin came over for a short visit to see my museum exhibits. I saw that one room had my creepy furniture and some pumpkin heads… I forgot all that stuff was in there! In fact, I was wondering what happened to all the pumpkin heads I used to have. They were up here all along! Oops!

After one of my villagers gave me a boxing barricade on Friday, I noticed another boxing barricade on sale at Re-Tail. So I put mine up next to it, for the moment at least. 😛

Over the weekend, Boots asked me for some fruit. I gave him a perfect orange (that I got from Squishy), and he rewarded me with his picture! Finally!

I took it home to get a good look at it. His favorite quote is “Strength lies in muscles.”

Just like week, I once again found Bob sleeping on a bench. But this time, he was on the yellow bench in the southwest part of town.

I had perfect oranges as my premium item on Sunday, so I let Squishy know. She came over to smuggle sell some oranges. She also gave me a basket of oranges so I can keep spoiling my villagers. Thanks, Squishy!

Kiwi recently let me visit Raddle’s RV. He’s an unusual looking frog (then again, many frogs in the game look a bit odd). He’s a black frog with yellow dots, wearing a surgical mask.

Since I’ve still had Zelda music in my head lately, I changed my town tune to Saria’s Song (aka the Lost Woods theme from Ocarina of Time).

Bunny from Tiger was giving away some items tonight, and I picked out a Pondering music box. I picked it up at her town, and then put it in my house. Thanks, Bunny!

When I spoke to Big Top, he kept telling me about chats he’s had with people. He mentioned three people that haven’t even played in my town for years…and one of them isn’t even on my friend roster any more. I guess the elephant has a long memory.

That’s how Bob was in my ACCF town. He was a long-time resident who had chatted with almost everyone I had played with. And I was very sad when Bob moved away. In a way, Big Top is like the Bob of New Leaf (even though I also have Bob in New Leaf…and Aurora has been in New Leaf Forest even longer than Big Top).

But anyway, Big Top asked for a new catchphrase to replace “on Switch.” So I told him to say “up my nose.”

My recent dream visitors have been Elliott from Forest, Jamie from Maywood, Tiffany from Ganache, Cheese from St Binah, and Mayounna from Amy Rose. Thanks for stopping by!
