Post #3: Creation Of My Blog

Hi there!

I didn't get to make this blog post this morning so I will make it now instead. :) On my last blog post I talked about how I made my Wizard101 account nearly five years ago (July 4th, 2009) and a little bit about my ice wizard, Edward Wintergem. It still feels like yesterday that I met Headmaster Ambrose the first time and helped him fight off Malistaire in the tutorial. I also remember begging for gifts from people.. LOL wait what? Edward begging for membership and crowns in the commons? Yes.. It happened! :P

After begging for gifts on my ice wizard, I met a friend that told me that I needed to be careful with my account because someone could steal it if I asked them to give me crowns by taking my account. I'm not going to lie to you, one time long ago I did tell someone I was going to give them my account in exchange for crowns and a membership.. I'm glad I didn't because I wouldn't be here blogging on my four year old blog getting ready to enter my fifth year of Wizard101! NEVER give away your password or you'll never get to celebrate every year of Wizard101/Pirate101. I want you to keep your wizard like I have kept mine all of these years. :)

I ended up creating a blog with Mary Dreamshade on May 10th, 2010. Mary's blog was called The Pie Loving Necromancer and my blog was called Wizard101... I know that's a crazy name, so I changed it to The Life Of A Wizard and then Around the Spiral with Edward Lifegem and now... Around the Spiral with Edward Lifegem.. ;D I was inspired to blog because of The Friendly Necromancer, I remember reading some of his old posts back in late 2009, early 2010 and thought he was awesome *I still think he's awesome*. After I created my blog, I met up with the community even more than I had before! I will blog about that tomorrow with post #4.. :D Thank you for reading!!! :)

July 2014 Pirate101 Newsletter

Ahoy Pirates!

Kingsisle released this month's Newsletter (can't believe it's already July) with a ton of great information about the future of Pirate101 and a ton of last month's awesome events. This month the newsletter if full of a lot of great notes that I think are important and fun to read. :D One thing they released is a Rogue's Gallery featuring Mustang Sally! I remember talking to her on my swashbuckler, Edward Cringle, last month. :D

That rogue's gallery provided a lot of information about Mustang Sally! I can't wait to see who they have planned for Rogue's Gallery next month. Maybe they'll have a  Moo Manchu Rogue's Gallery?? :P There's a lot more to read on the Pirate101 Newsletter so make sure you check it out by clicking HERE or clicking on the image below. Thank you for reading! :)

Post #2: I Found Wizard101!

Hi there,

Happy July! This week I'm making a post everyday this week since July 4th is my 5th year wizardversary or... kingsisleversary! :D You wouldn't believe how much awesomeness I've been through on this game... I thought I'd make these posts so I can look back on them in the future and remember everything that happened before and after I found Wizard101. :D

If you haven't read my first blog post, click HERE to read that and then come back to this one if you would like to. :) Anyways.. on my last post I talked about the games I played before I started Wizard101 and in 2009 on a rainy 4th of July I found the perfect game! I found out about Kingsisle's Wizard101 game and thought that game would be perfect for me. I know it seems like I should have been outside on the 4th of July but I thought it was going to rain all day so I decided to turn on cartoon network and I noticed a commercial playing *the commercial above* and I decided to go to their website and create an account and make my first wizard an ice wizard. I named my ice wizard Edward Wintergem!

I'm glad I created an account that day because within a year I was addicted to the game and met many amazing friends! I met so many friends on the game that I leveled with and they helped me out with Sunken City when I had trouble on it and thought it was the most difficult dungeon the game would ever have! :P I'm happy I met new friends on the game when I needed friends the most that time in my life. Thank you KI for a great game.. :) Shortly after I created a... oh wait... I think it's time to stop typing for now.. Thank you for reading! I'll see you tomorrow with post #3! :D Until then, I'll see you around the spiral.

The Patriotic Leprechaun

Hello Wizards!

It's that time of year again, where we shoot off fireworks, have bbq's and celebrate our country's independence! We can also celebrate on the game by getting a patriotic leprechaun in the Wizard101 crowns shop for 2,500 crowns *and it comes with a Satyr Card*. :D I remember getting my patriotic leprechaun a few years ago and I always change the color of my robes to red and blue to match my leprechaun. I will do that every year I'm on Wizard101.. Here's a picture of my life wizard with his patriotic leprechaun!
