Last day in 90210

As I mentioned in a previous post, I am taking a break from playing Animal Crossing. I played my last wi-fi game on the weekend and I decided to take a couple of photos of Leesh's house. She has stored most of her hybrids as she hibernates for the winter.  See everyone in the summer!!!


Main room - still designed with the Snowman these. There are a few party poppers on the ground that Leesh received from Yuki.

 
Second floor room - This is where most of the hybrids are stored. Leesh thought she could fill the whole room up with all the pots but looks like if she added anymore, the floor was going to give out.

 
Left wing room - A plant pots here...

 
Back room - more pots and some turnips.




Right wing room - just a few more pots.  The rest of the hybrids were left outside. Hopefully there are enough hybrids to breed in the summer.

Last play date in Mitsukyo

Yesterday was my last play date. I set up this time with Yuki and luckily, we were able to make it. Also joining us - Meow and Maggie. I am glad that everyone made it for my goodbye party. There's a lot of photos but there's even more at Mayu's (Yuki) blog.


 On my ;ast play date, a beautiful rainbow


 
 Before heading to Mitsukyo, Leesh watered her garden. Once the wilted flowers come back to life, they will be going in the house.


 
 Yuki greeted Leesh with open arms and lots of love.

 
 Leesh asked Yuki to go to her house. Yuki told Leesh there's a turnip mess.

 
 Yuki's back room had more turnips and these Moai statues. As a going away present, Yuki gave Leesh one of them.

 
 Let's go to the brainwash room. Look at Leesh's eyes - she is being brainwashed to continue on playing AC.

 
 In the left wing, even more turnips!!! Leesh and Yuki took a small nap before bumping heads.

 
 It's Meow!!! So glad you can join us!

 
 This is my favorite picture. I wanted to get one of Leesh with blue roses since she's never been able to breed them but Yuki and Meow were in the background. It makes for a great photo.

 
 Meow, Leesh and Yuki

 
 Since Leesh and Meow had wool, toques, Yuki went to Able's to buy one. Now we all match with the cold, winter weather in Mitsukyo.

 
 Leesh had to visit Vesta one last time. She is so nice. She no longer screams when Leesh walks through the door.



 Leesh and Meow visiting Vesta

 
 Such a pretty pond with floating ice. Too bad Leesh is standing on froggy.

 
 Also coming for a visit is Maggie (with the pink hair). Here are the four of us getting ready to pop the party popper. I didn't know about these poppers because I didn't play on New Year's Eve. They are so much fun!

 
 One last picture...

 
Leesh saying her final goodbye to Yuki.

Who knew that saying good bye for a couple of months would be so hard. I didn't want to leave. What made it worse was Yuki walked Leesh to the gates. It's like walking your friend right up to the security gate at the airport. I almost wanted to cry. I will start to play AC:WW again in the summer time. Meow and Yuki agreed that they will come to 90210 for a weed pullin' party. I am so glad that I have made such good friends.

I will have one last AC:WW posting some time this week or next. I want to show Leesh's house and how she put her hybrids all over the house.

AC:WW - it's over at the end of the month

After much thinking today, I have decided to stop playing Animal Crossing at the end of this month. It's been a year now since I have been playing and although I love the game, I find that I am neglecting my other hobbies such as reading. I love reading and the time that I normally read is when I commute to and from work. For the past year, my commute has been all about playing AC. I had my daily routine of watering my flowers and digging in the morning and then selling items to Nook in the afternoon.

I will continue to also carry my DS with me. I will still play other DS games and blog about them but for now, I need to stop playing AC and get back into reading. In order to be fully committed to AC, I feel like it consumes too much of my time. I will probably start to play again in the summer (my fave season) and will have to deal with the bugs and dead flowers. I hope my bringing all my hybrids in the house will keep them safe until I decide to play again.

So, I hope Yuki that we can meet this Sunday, the 17th and/or the 24th. I would love to play with you and Meow a couple more times before the end of the month. Julie, let's find a couple days where we can meet again and play. If I can confirm some play dates, then I will have a few more ac:ww posts before I sign off on Animal Crossing.

AC:WW Friend: Mayu/Yuki

I thought I would try something new since I haven't been playing ac:ww much or even taking pictures. I would love to wifi but I just can't find the time. So to fill the void of no posts, I have asked some of my ac:ww friends to answer silly questions. Mayu is my first victim. She kindly agreed to do this.

I met Mayu through her blog. She is one popular person. Everyone knows her. She is like the queen of Animal Crossing: Wild World. I posted a few comments on her blog and next thing I know, we set up a date to play. Through her, I have met many more ac:ww friends.

1) What is your Animal Crossing: Wild World name and town?
I've got four charas, they're Mayu, Yuki, Haru and Miki. I play mainly with Yuki (FC: 2406-1595-1074 ) for my adult friends and Miki (FC: 2922-0581-5572) with my teen friends nowadays, but formerly Mayu (FC: 3866-4327-6650) was my main character. And my town name is Mitsukyo

2) What is the meaning behind the name of your character and the name of your town?
Mayu is just a name I chose, because I think it's cute and it's a female Japanese name what I also have as real name (but another one than Mayu lol). Mitsukyo is a real town in Yokohama and that's my birthplace ;)

3) How long have you been playing AC:WW?
Ummm it must be 3 and a half year now (I started in Sep 2006)

4) Do you have an AC:WW blog?
Yes, it's http://myacwwdiary.wordpress.com/ :)

5) Who is your favorite neighbour?
Vesta!! lol

6) When do you usually wifi?
Usually I like to play in my evenings around 8PM, Yuki on Tuesdays and sometimes also Sundays when I want to meet special friends LOL (hint hint) and the rest of the time with Miki as I've got more teen friends than adult friends ;)

7) What is your favorite season on AC:WW?
Oh I like all seasons in ACWW, but when I have to choose one, I would say summer! It's the most interesting season to catch bugs and fish :)

8) What shapes do you have on your ground and on your grass?
The ground is always same in every town, it's circle and for grass I do have square shape

9) What is your favorite bug? flower? and fish?
Bug: elephant beetle, flower: orange pansy, fish: frog

10) Tom Nook or Blathers?
Tom Nook!!!! I love sexy Nook with his apron (in his first shop) LOL
