Meeting a Terrible Fate

I know you've all been dying for another update, so here you be!

After 40+ days of absence, I ran around and started doing the usual.

Picking perfect peaches

Pulling up weeds and the like (I'm a good mayor)

Had some interesting interactions with the townies:

Klaus was "hiding" here during an impromptu Hide and Seek session.

OMG that joke just gets funnier each time, buddy.

 

Apparently people think they're cousins. Oh the scandal.

I was happy to hear someone had seen Neil, my hubby's player 2 file on the secondary town. :3

Went to the island while I watched movies so I could earn medals.

 

Yeah, it took me like 5 seconds! How dare I?

BUT THE BIGGEST NEWS IS THAT I GOT MY FRIGGIN MAJORA'S MASK!!

So I dug some graves.

 

 

 IT WAS A GOOD DAY.

WHERE HAVE I BEEN?

Hey all (aka the 1.5 people who read this),

As you may have noticed, I've been absent. Why, you ask?
Because I didn't play this game for like 40+ days. Oops.

It wasn't that I stopped liking ACNL, I just had a lot of other things going on, like marathoning a new show and starting a new writing project, etc...

I knew I couldn't go back to Arcadia after 40+ days, so I used the Activity Log's Software Library to figure out when I'd last played. Because of TT, even though it's only July 7th, it thought it was November 1st and that I'd last played September 20th. So I set my 3DSXL for September 21 and I'm about to boot up the game and see how I fare.

Wish me luck.
