My Writing Contest Entry

Did you enter the last week’s writing contest? I sure did! I entered in the ‘best party surprise ever’ category- supposedly the category the least people entered in! Anyway, here is my entry- I think it’s pretty good! Tell me what you think! Anyway, enjoy:

The Club Penguin Carol

Bodge101 didn’t like parties. In fact he hated them. He hated the balloons, the decorations, the free items.
“Bah, humbug!” he cried as he watched penguins walk by the window of his igloo, screeching with laughter and enjoying the parties, “I hate parties, I do!”

Some pitied him, but most just scorned him, saying that he was a party crasher, and a spoilsport! Bodge scarcely ever left his igloo; only to collect free items or buy from a catalog.

One day, Kimi 07, one of his few, party-loving friends, decided to throw him a party he wouldn’t soon forget and was bound to enjoy!

Kimi organised balloons, fireworks, food, and free items in their thousands for this extra special party- which would be the biggest party ever in Club Penguin! It was going to be epic! The Club Penguin band were hired to sing some of their best singles, and Rockhopper himself was given an invitation! Everything was going to be fantastic.

A week later, Kimi knocked on Bodge’s igloo door. He was bursting with excitement as Bodge opened the door.
“What is it?” growled Bodge.
“SURPRISE!” everyone screamed and jumped out of their hiding places. Bodge couldn’t speak- he was so shocked! His eyes widened as he took in the fireworks flying in the sky overhead, and exploding in colourful showers of sparks! Slowly, a grin spread across his face.
“Come on,” cried Kimi, “I’ll show you around!”

Kimi lead him around the island. Everywhere was draped with orange and black (his favorite colors). He passed crowds and crowds of penguins he hardly knew: and thousands that he didn’t know at all. Everyone was cheering. Bodge was amazed.

Rockhopper came up to him and started shaking his hand enthusiastically. But the best surprise came for him at the Cove! There he saw the Club Penguin Band, jamming away on their instruments- playing one of his favorite songs.
“Want to join us?” asked Franky. Bodge, too shocked to speak, clambered up onto the temporary stage constructed next to the surf hut. He got out his guitar and started to play.

Bodge rocked away with the band all night! He forgot all his previous misgivings about parties and enjoyed himself more than he ever had in his life!

After the party was over, Kimi asked, “What did you think of the party?”
“It was the best party surprise ever!” he replied, beaming.

Just so you know, I’ve always loved parties! But anyway it made a good theme!
Until next time…

Improved Inventory- Coming Soon

The moderators on the CPIP blog have announced that they are going to improve the inventory on our player cards! I assume this means they’re going to do the same as with the igloo inventory: re-order it into categories. This was quite effective for the igloos: but it just divided the stuff into four hard-to-sort sections, instead of one. Along with it was the supremely annoying glitch, which stopped people accessing their igloos! But anyway, I don’t think a player card glitch would be so major (unless people lose their items again- that really was terrible). I think the maximum bug for it would probably be we couldn’t access our player cards- but I might be wrong- we’ll just have to wait and see! Anyway, I think the player card sorting is a good idea, because I always find it hard to find specific items fast because I have so many clothes!

Truth or Myth- Albino Penguins

Welcome to my weekly post which unfolds the truth of the Club Penguin Legends- this week- the Albino Penguin. The colour white (albino) is unavailable from the clothing catalogue, but it is a popular Club Penguin legend that Albino Penguins roam the island. I don’t want to alarm anyone, but these rumours are true! There is such thing as a white penguin! I have seen one with my own two eyes! But don’t think it is a good thing to see an Albino Penguin, because it is a colour only hackers (or maybe moderators) can get. I’m not going to advise you to hack and get the white colour, in fact I urge you not to! And even if I was going to advise you to do it, I don’t know the program for it! So if you do see an Albino Penguin, yes, gaze in awe, but feel sure that the mods will catch up with them sooner or later!

Tune in next Wednesday for more TRUTH OR MYTH or look in my Truth or Myth category for older editions of this weekly post.

Until next time…
