Whoa. I haven't posted in a whole month. Whoa.
Omigosh, so much has happened!!
Out of game I'm sopping wet and sunburt, and it's raining outside. I'm wearing flannel plaid PJs. I have a 3 day sailing race tomorow, meaning no wizards, but possible blogging. *sigh* oh well. You won't get a post for another few days, and then the day right after that I'm off to camp for two weeks. So I guess I won't get to do .....(wait for it).... MALISTARE (!!!!!!!!!) until I get back :(
Yeah, I'm almost done with the game. I'm level 48 right now, so I also got Storm Lord (also known as LORD) and my awesome Stormzilla buddy, Bosco! I'll post a few pictures of him eventually. I have a cool blade, and as far as grandmaster gear goes, only the robe and ring I got from when I helped my friend in IRL farm Malistare.
So that's pretty much all for me. After I pack for the regatta and finish this letter I'm writing, I'm off to the spiral!
Hmm, I like that...
I'm off to the spiral!

Um, sorry

Sorry, in my last post the images didn't show up. Here they are, but in backwards order:









So, um, yeah.

One of those days...

It's just one of those days

Where the sky is dreary

Your house is quiet

You're on your computer-in the kitchen of all places

While the oven preheats to 400 degrees

So you can eat a pretzel

It's just one of those days

When you just can't seem to glitch your dorm

Quite right

And you get called in to help someone

End up doing nothing

And get a headmaster statue (!!!!)

You just knocked over your clock to get your glass of water

It's 9:06 but it feels like lunchtime

Yeah.... can you tell how bad I am at poetry?

Lol, that was really really random.

Anywho, since I'm just waiting for the oven, I'll get the pictures of my work in progress dorm. I also managed to use that headmaster statue I just got, which is AWESOME! HE IS FLOATING IN THE CENTER OF THE ROOM!

One of those days when you're out of that cheese dip that you normally eat on the pretzels.

Okays, nearly an hour later, I remember to get those screenshots:

They don’t really do it justice. I think I’ll be doing a video.

Besides that, I was looking for black pearls in Mooshu (only nine more!) and I saw this:

Hrm, I think I see a Celestia quest here!

And just for kicks, here’s my record hit today:

If you can’t read that, it’s 6197. I will repeat myself now: WOW!

Well, that’s all for now.

-Brooke (you know, I need a signature of sometype)

The rooftops of London are not flat

Just a quick mini poll:
How many of you emptied the dishwasher at 5:15 AM this morning?
*cricket* *cricket*
Just me, huh?
As you can see, I am suffering from five hour jet lag after getting back from Europe, which I actually plan to use to my advantage by farming black pearls.
After 10 straight days of no computer time besides about five minuets (lol, why am I forgetting how to spell this? Oh, it's 6 AM. Right) last week to check a few blogs to make sure I didn't miss Celestia (phew), I come back yesterday to discover that wizards has 10 million players!?! OMG OMG OMG!
Ooh, and I get this spiffy little partypack! Yay!
And I have 3 WHOLE DAYS TO FINISH MY DORM FOR THE CONTEST. UH OH.
I'll post pics of my three leveled dorm room (you know, if I ever getting around to adding that potential 3rd layer.
I have to leave on sunday for freshman orientation, so I'll be gone for another five days. Yay.
Oh, right, when I was in London, I found that most of the roofs are peaked. Here that Marleybone?
It took a lot of convincing on my part not to have to eat lunch at the Kensington Returaunt. I was a little worried about getting attacked by gearheas inside. And our hotel was right near Hyde Park, and I kept making all of these comparisons to Marleybone.
Oh, and I am submintting my blog to Kestral Shadowthistle's BRPs and-
WAIT A SECOND! I HAVE A FOLLOWER! OMG WHERE HAVE I BEEN? o right
Ty Jessica Fairyheart! I read your blog!
Well, it feels like 11 AM (even though it's only 6) so I guess I have chores to go do. Yay.
Brooke is not really in much of any kind of mood.
Gotta decorate... ARGH! I FORGOT to enter Jessica's contest *tear* Oh well, I wasn't going to get to the bash anyways. Sigh.

-Brooke is happi!

Wizard101 is going crazy!?!?

Not kidding. Last night I did tons of leveling and farming, and this morning NOTHING. I FINISHED THE VILLAGE OF SORROW AND SUNKEN CITY LAST NIGHT, 5 BLACK PEARLS, 20 BLACK LOTUS, AND NOTHING. MY MOUNT IS GONE TOO, WITH THE SAME CROWNS LEFT. I AM MAD. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I CAN'T EVEN GET IT TO LOAD AT THIS POINT. GOING INSANEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I'm tryinig to figure out what's wrong; I think it's the computer, not the game itself because I logged into my old account and it wouldn't work either. I'm thinking that it's the printer software that my dad downloaded last night. T_T I have to go talk to him about that.
Well, I'm off to girl scout bridging (oh joy) and then I'll be back.
-Brooke Moonstone ish nawt happi T_T

New spell, dungeon finished, getting blamed, farming, and pet snacks!

First off, I got my super awesome Triton spell! WOOT! It was so cool when the storm lord came:

Sorry I was writting my graduation speech in the background (I'm comparing homework to dragons lol)
So, since I needed to go kill the plauge oni, I finaly finished the Shikirati temple (or whatever it's called)! Thanks Sydney Daisyflower!
Yesterday I had a weird thing that kept happening. First I was accused of stealing some cookies which showed up in the refrigerator, then I got accused of not doing homework that I had brought in, and then when I tried out my new triton in PvP, I was accused of using treasure cards. TWICE! This is insane! It hasn't happened to me today yet, and I hope it doesn't.
I've also been doing some farming recently. I'm trying to get some of the WC statues for my house, but it is taking FOREVER. It's starting to get really repetitive, like this fellow:



Ah, yes, our LOTR obbsessed advisor group...the thing is that we're all girls!

But the majority of my post is going to be about PeT sNaCkS!
Well, it started last night during the Ravenwood Radio Chatroom. It began with Tacos. We discovered that Stephen likes Fish Tacos. Then we moved to rootbear floats, ice cream, whip cream, cheesepoofs, shushi, pretzels, "the myth kids have cookies" (the person who runs Mythspent Youth who's name escapes me), and "The krokosphinx was as cold as a slurpie" (Ditto). I'm quoting either Leesha or Steve, I forget who, "It looks like the chatroom has a sweet tooth" So when I also said something about it, Fallon Shadowblade said (yeah, I have a good memory for text) "Brooke: It's the pet snacks, they're making everyone hungry!" HUNGRY. FOOOOOD. BBWWWAAAAIIINNZZZZ. x noms on brains x
Lol, anyways, I simply want to acknowledge how many different pet snacks there are. I haven't counted, but I think I might soon. It's probably a big number.
Graduation and the Tempest(play I'm in, lol yes tempest) next week! OMG! B-day party tommorow! Woot! NO HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!!!
-Brooke is in a happi mood! ^-^

Do I even have any veiws whatsoever!?

Nope. This blog is purdy quiet. T_T
I'm wondering how to get more veiws. I'm thinking emailing it to the official wizard101 fansite page, but I don't know what else to do. /shrug I'll come up with something; I usually do. I'm also considering changing this to the sarcastic diviner, but I'm not quite sure.
Well, see you in the spiral since I can't find a way to sign this post.

More Ravenwood Ball!

x sigh x
I went back to the Ravenwood Ball for screenshots, but nobody was there. I got a few good pics, but no particularly amazing outfits.
It was so busy earlier I was stuck on area 3! It calmed down eventualy though.
There was also a glitch in the life tower WHICH I DO NOT WANT KINGSISLE TO FIX 'CAUSE IT ROCKS MY SOCKS!
There was, of course, plenty of scamming, but I honestly didn't care. THE TRICK TO IT IS THIS: NEXT TO THE DESK IS SOME PARCHMENT. STAND ON THE PARCHMENT AND YOU'RE UP! See, now you don't have to bluff with a storm lord to try to get up ;)
So I'm trying to decide between two fan fic ideas: one for Brooke and one for Terri (and possibly a pet story, but that's for another post). Brooke's story is about her and the other cloud warriors, basicaly half mythological creatures (in her case a storm lord) who can travel through time and fly and all this other awesome stuff. My other idea, for Terri Stardust, my balence wizard, is a ton more thought through. She lives in a possible future where Malistare has taken over wizard city and she was aboard a ship of refugues who went to the lost world, which is where all lost items go (mostly socks from out of your drier, hence the first part is called "Terri, Queen of Socks). Whew, run on sentance.
I'm bound to start writting something eventualy. I've taken quite the break from writting, since I finished this 60 page long story for Neopets called March of the Fire. I know, neopets, cheesy, but I had an idea and went with it. It's only on the 3rd instalment out of 8 right now, so feel free to read if you like. Here's a sketch of the main char for you:
(will post soon, it's on a different computer)
So, as you can tell, I ADORE writing! But one needs to take a break.
Gah, I'm posting too much T_T
Brooke Moonstone needs a way to sign her posts!

Epiphany!

Lol, I know it's been like ages since I've posted, but I had two class trips and a research paper, so I'm back! (not that my non-existant veiwers care)
Anywho, I just had an epiphany! wOOt!
I just left the Ravenwood ball, and I saw both Christina Icedreamer from Diary of a Wizard and Leesha Darkheart from Ravenwood Radio! This is the best day of my life!...note the sarcasm.
This is what I wanted to post about. Famous wizards getting mobbed. I gotta say, I pitty them. Who are we, the paparazi? We videogamers do not like disney stars and amazingly fantastic singers who wear too little clothing, we seemed to be obsessed with our bloggers. O.o Every three minutes or so, some random person would shout "LEESHA!" and there was nobody there! The point of the Ravenwood ball was not to meet the famous peoples and try to sqeeze onto their friend lists, but to have a good time, dance, and just sit back and enjoy the show!



Stuck in my head...lala...working on wizarding video for this....lalala...I love the tomatoes!
I saw plenty of great outfits there, but was too OMG RAVENWOOD BALL to actualy take screenshots. :'(
So I've got tons of time this summer (well, every morning after I wake up until noon except for when we're in Paris (OMG) and during camp and freshman orientation and my Galapagos buddies reunion, but that still leaves plenty of time to post!) so I'm thinking I'll be delaying my fashion updates a little bit. :( Oh well. I still have to write my graduation speech, finish my ss project, and PRANK EVERY TEACHER IN THE SCHOOL!!!!!! Phsyced!
Anyways, I'll work on remembering to snap pics of awesome outfits. x writes mental note x For now, I'm farming bosses and trying to get through the Shirikati temple. /shrug
I need a way to sign my posts...first wizard to come up with something good gets some wizardblox codes!
-Brooke Moonstone

Coming soon:
The official Fashionable Diviner official magazine (a spoof off pop culture...ever noticed the other meaning of "culture" that has to do with cheese?)
One of my two fan fic ideas (for either Brooke Moonstone or my Alt, Terri Stardust)
Contests (?)
Tons of Artwork!

Wizard City Fashion: Don'ts

Wizard City. Cobblestone streets, a school for magic, blessedly little gold, and tons of n00bs. Oh, teh n00bs.
I had a conversation with Eloise Merryweather about her opinion on Wizard City fashion.
"Well," she told me, "Despite the fact that beginers to the game have little fashion sense*, there are still ways to avoid common fashion errors."
*myself included (pic of this posted soon)
What are some things to avoid? Well, here are some of the worst:
Teh n00b outfit:
Ah, yes, that origional outfit you got when you first became a wizard student. Good times, good times. "Uhh, where can I find mist wood?" "How do you get rid of this arrow? It's bothering me!" Truth be told, do you want to be in Dragonspyre and wearing this kind of stuff? Really?
The weird gnome hat:
Great, now all you need is a big white beard and galoshes.
Square collar:


I really just don't like this robe. Why? Well, I think it's the collar. It's SQUARE.

The Castle Boots:

I'm not sure why, but the fold part on these reminds me of castles.

These are some of the things I would not recomend wearing, but soon I will also be posting some of the positives to Wizard City fashion. Stay tuned!
Quick note: Reading through this, I realized only now that it is entirely negitive. I am simply telling you of my veiws and am not intending on insulting KingsIsle's artwork. Sorry about that.

A Life in the Spiral Lacks Fashion

Welcome to the Fashionable Diviner. I can't say that I am some kind of well known gradmaster who blogs everyday, but this was an idea I had.

This is a blog for Wizard1o1, which you may or may not have heard of. If you haven't, well you're missing out! It's a faimly oriented game for the young and old alike. A good friend of mine's entire family were beta testers, and they love the game. It starts off entirely free to play, until you hit about level 10, at which point you aren't able to do any quests. But, if you do decide to suscribe, it is just a measly $60 a year, which is about how much your average nitendo game might cost. It starts off very easy, but gets harder and harder. By the time you hit Dragonspyre, more commonly known as DS, you should be having half an hour long boss battles. Or there abouts, since I'm only in Mooshu. Go here for more info on the game.

Anywho, I'm Brooke Moonstone, a level 36 Diviner, aka storm wizard, who is currently in Mooshu, which is the fourth world out of the five main worlds so far (although I am physced for Celestia, the sixth world, coming out soon!).

In real life I am a very stressed almost highschool student, who enjoys reading, drawing, and video games. Other video games I have played include: Dragonfable, Adventure Quest, Dizzywood (well, that's not really an RPG, just a game), Neopets (again, not RPG), Webkinz (litteraly, when it came out. I was a lot younger then), and occasionaly I attempted to play text based RPGs, but got very bored. So Wizards was really the first MMORPG I've ever played. My parents don't play video games, since they both work full time, and my sister is a little too little to play, leaving me as the only one in my family who plays. I love writting (failed wizard story though), drawing and film. What sets me a little apart in my interests then everyone else is the fact that I can just sit down and focus on something. I have recently written a story for Neopets, link here: March of the Fire Part One, the first instalment of which was just published yesterday. I was like "OMG YAY!" a couple hours ago, but I've been wizarding more often as of now. I was really waiting for a responce for a while, and got bored.

Sooooooooo, back to this blog. I don't think I can even begin to express how many fashion failures I have seen in game. I mean, a pyromancer with green hair and orange robes? Eww. How about someone wearing something like a Mooshu helmet and a Marleybone dress in purple and green? Ack! What is wrong with you people?
I am devoting this blog to the fashion of Wizard 101, Do's and Don't's, styles that suit you, colors that work for your school and don't look too odd, hair and mounts. If you start worying about stats, this is why I stitch all of my robes.


Every few days or so I will be adressing each different world's style, and the fashion to avoid (there is this really anoying Marleybone hat that just...UGH). After that, I might get into color and mounts.
