Logs by *mimitchi*: Christmas Break!

Wow!! What a semester it has been for me. It's starting to become bittersweet - this semester was my next to last. I am set to graduate college with a BS in Biology in May of 2016. For the sake of focusing on passing all my classes this semester, I left off in the summer with a log talking about Autumn & Eve, my V1 and V2 (the log is in my signature if you're interested!). Now that I have the time to focus on running a Tama again, I decided to make a new log! I won't be running Autumn & Eve this time, and if you've read any of my logs before, you know I like to jump around and start up whichever Tama I'm interested in at the time. This time, I wanted to sort of relive the 90's, so I started my P2, white with the pink characters on it.

Before I get into the actual Tamagotchi log, I just feel like sharing a bit of my life with you since that's something I personally find interesting about reading other Tama logs. I don't have too much time to run Tamas these days, which is really a bummer to me. The reason is that, like I mentioned earlier, I'm really close to being forced into the adult world and graduating college. That has come with a lot of ups and downs, lots of mind changing, life contemplating, not knowing what my place is in the world (and still don't really). This will make my fifth year because I didn't complete on time because I just don't know what I'm going to do with my life yet. This semester was particularly the biggest hump of my college career. I faced the challenge of getting through Organic Chemistry, which is a particularly large feat for me considering I'm just not good at it. I wasn't good at General Chemistry, and I'm still not good at Organic. Anyway, if I couldn't pass Organic this semester, I would not graduate, because it is my senior year and the class is only offered in Fall Semesters. A very long story short, I managed to pull my D up to a B, and ace all other finals I had. This is nothing short of a major success for me, and I'm just relieved the first half is over. Next semester I have to face Organic II, but I'm another story for another time. Let's focus on Tamas now!

I recently saw a Facebook post by one of my favorite Tamagotchi collectors, and many of you may also know who I'm talking about - Katherine, founder of Mimitchi.com and Mystic Fortress. After a long while away, she has started up a Tamagotchi again and has posted a brand new log! I was excited to read it as Mimitchi.com was a big chunk of my childhood and provided me with so much info on secrets, how to care for Tamas, pictures, how to get certain characters, and just a wealth of knowledge that I found super useful. So her recent return to the Tama world has inspired me to hatch another one.

So with that, my white P2 was hatched at exactly 5PM this evening. I've decided to call her Ira after one of my favorite singers of all time - Art Ira Garfunkel of Simon & Garfunkel. With that, she lived out her Shirobabitchi stage within an hour and changed into Tonmarutchi at 6:11PM. I forgot just how needy the P2 was in the baby stage - they're MUCH needier than the newer versions that's for sure. Now she's just bobbing around the screen until bedtime tonight. I like the little game on this one - you know, the one where you guess which number is going to be higher.

Unfortunately my little P2 isn't in the best condition - the bottom 1/3 of the screen is just blank and doesn't show the icons and the buttons have become less responsive over time, but that's all okay. It's a good thing I have the icons memorized because I can't even see them at all. Despite that, I wanted to play with my P2 because of course, I wanted to see my Mimitchi again. I need to work on finding another P2, but they're just so hard to get a hold of it seems. eBay wants to sell them for much more than I'm willing to pay, but maybe that's just because I'm cheap, haha.

Anyway, I'll leave with that for tonight! More Holiday adventures to come...

*mimitchi* :mimitchi:

Good morning!

This morning, I was literally woken up by Ira beeping her head off for attention... I'm completely serious. I was so asleep, I had no idea what was going on until I remembered I left her on my nightstand and it was about 9:00AM. I honestly thought some kind of smoke alarm in my house was going off, but it was just Ira, beeping as loud as humanly possible, and for nothing but a discipline! Thanks, Ira, you're a real pal. The P2's are definitely louder than the newer versions, but I guess I can't complain because I would've slept through her discipline if she hadn't woken me up.

Anyway, we've played the number game a lot and she seems to be satisfied with life at the moment, with all full in all hearts. She is now 2 years old, 15lbs, and with 3 discipline bars.

I have some errands to run today, so Ira and I will be out of the house. I have to go and vacuum someone's house for them and stop at a few stores for last minute Christmas gifts! I am also stopping at the grocery store and buying things to make holiday themed Oreo Balls with - I loooove Oreo Balls! They're my favorite dessert.

Before I go, I was wondering if you guys could help me with something - I posted a topic in "What Happened to my Tamagotchi?" addressing a screen issue I'm having with this P2 and if any of you know a solution to the problem, that would be great! If you don't mind, head over there via this link and check it out:

https://www.tamatalk.com/IB/topic/192750-p2-1997-tamagotchi-screen-issues/

Thanks, guys! I'll see you soon! I hope your Holidays are going great!

Quick update for the night!

My boyfriend and I went out of town today and did a little bit of last minute Christmas shopping. We ate at Olive Garden which is always great - I love that restaurant!

Ira was looked after as well as I possibly could today, however, she did lose two hearts in both happy and hungry which I filled as soon as I noticed. I drove an hour and a half away today so I had to leave her for that long which is probably the reason. Hopefully, she still becomes my Mimitchi. She got sick today which was my evolution indicator, and turned into Tongaritchi this evening. We played some games and while we were in the middle of playing, she went to sleep! Guess she got tired.

Also another odd thing happened to Ira today... Her discipline meter was halfway full up until today after she changed. I happened to look at her stats, and every single bar of discipline has disappeared! For no reason at all... I can't figure out why that would be... It's a little weird. Hopefully it doesn't have an effect on what character I receive. I don't really have an explanation as to why all of her bars are gone, but if anyone else does, please let me know why that happens. I've never had that happen before!

Since she is asleep now, I think I'm going to go myself.

Goodnight!

Feeling a bit iffy about logging anymore.

I thought it might be good for the soul to log again, but this might be my last one for a very long time. It doesn't seem fulfilling when no one is involved but myself, right? I'm sure you all have that feeling too. It's sort of a bore to log when no one gets anything out of it, because that doesn't give me anything to work off of (like knowing what everyone likes to read about, would like to know about, etc.). So I will probably retire to simply reading others logs instead.

It's very unfortunate, but I'm just not as integrated into TT as I used to be and I don't really know much about the newer versions. I would like to, but it's just so hard to move away from what you already knew and learn Tamas all over again (because I'm sure that the newer versions have lots of things I have no idea about). I would also like to own some of the newer versions, but I simply don't have the money right now.

Maybe it's just me, but TT feels a bit cold and unfamiliar since the site redesign - I used to have my site skin set on that yellow and red one with the arrows and it was so bright and added so much life to the site. It feels a little weird to just have it be blue again because blue was the color of the site if you hadn't logged in yet and were just a visitor. That's sort of what I feel like now - just a visitor and not a member. But that's alright - we all grow up and sometimes we have to leave what we knew behind.

I still recognize lots of familiar names who are, to my pleasant surprise, still active and around from time to time. It's also a little distancing and nostalgic to visit one of my old friend's profiles and see that they haven't been active for years and years. I always hope those I met back in 2005 are doing well in their lives, wherever they may be. Maybe they still like Tamas, or maybe they've sold them all. Sometimes I can't help but wonder.

I may not post here again. Or on the site at all. Not because I'm not popular enough or this log doesn't get enough replies, but just because I'm not feeling satisfied with posting. It's becoming sort of a chore, as much as I hate to say that. But I'll be around. Maybe not tomorrow or the next day, or years from now, but I'll come back and remember what it was like in the golden days of my Saturday morning cereal eating, cartoon watching, Tama carrying kid life and it'll be nice. I'll always remember everyone I met along the way and every single good memory I have of TT and my friends here will continue.

And with that, I'll leave this log here. Feel free to reply or send me a message sometime. I'd love to hear from old friends and make new ones, especially fellow Tama lovers. If you'd like to talk, I have social media links in my signature... come say hi sometime.

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday season.

Until next time...

Actually, I really like reading logs - even if I don't always have time to comment. And I prefer reading logs about older versions.

Just thought I'd share that with you.

Lke you, I very rarely have time for logging tamas. Real life always wins out over virtual life. But it's nice to read your log. The only thing I would add is that a log shouldn't feel like a chore

Just wanted to let you know that you are not talking to yourself!

That's rare to me to hear that someone hasn't had a colored tama, it's been so long since logging onto this site and many people have came and went, I do miss my old friends and wonder how they are doing now and days. Thank you for posting here again once more because when I was a little kid I remember seeing your name around here and it's really good to see an old member post here again.

I wish I could say it didn't feel like a chore, but sometimes I'll get home from wherever I've been and want to go straight to sleep but then remember - Oh! I'm logging a Tamagotchi... do I really want to get my laptop out just to make a new post? Life gets tiring at times... or maybe I'm just really lazy... probably that one!

Thanks for posting, TamaMum. Always enjoy hearing from you!

It has certainly become rare to see someone without a new version hasn't it? I enjoy logging and reading about the the older versions. I barely know what newer versions exist - there's so many! TMGC Friends, the P's... and I'm sure there are some Japanese ones out there I haven't heard about yet.

I try to log back on and reply to a few things whenever I get a break from school/life. It's always nice to come back and see what's going on.

Thank you for replying!

I really wish I found out about tamagotchis earlier. I never really got to know you, and I regret that.

I am so sorry you feel that way. Logs should be fun, but I totally understand not having enough time. I, among others, really appreciate you. I see you mentioned that you wanted a newer tamagotchi, but didn't have the money. Here's a link to a cheap tama:

Until next time

While I'm here, I thought I might as well post an update on Ira.

She is still a Tongaritchi, but I'm positive I won't see Mimitchi come around this time - yesterday had to have been a horrible day for her! I went and got a flu shot yesterday morning and came home and had lots to do for Christmas; I spent the majority of the day making two batches of Oreo Balls for friends and my boyfriend. I got caught up in that and kept remembering that I had to check on her, but would then get distracted by something else, and the chain of distractions continued...

I found her that evening very sick and very poo-filled... No hearts in anything! Thankfully she is still alive... I fixed her up and off to bed she went.

So far she is doing fine this morning. She called for another discipline this morning also. I still can't for the life of me figure out why on earth the rest of her discipline bars disappeared! She would have full discipline if they didn't magically go away. She also got sick this morning for presumably no other reason than the fact that she will change soon, because I checked her stats and she had only lost one heart in both happy and hungry and was still sick. Now she is full in everything, 6 years old, and 41 lbs.

Now to my knowledge, if she turns into Zuccitchi, she can become Zatchi, the secret alien character for the P2. I'm either expecting Pochitchi or Zuccitchi, so if she turns into Zuccitchi, I will try to see if I can get Zatchi to pay us a visit! I've also read in a description somewhere that Pochitchi can play a Jaw Harp - what an interesting little quirk! I love Jaw Harps.

That will be all for now. I have to get ready for a candlelight service for Christmas tonight! I am playing the piano for it, so I need to practice. Thank you also to everyone who takes the time to read my ramblings. It is always appreciated.

Thank you so very much!! I may very well purchase that one!

I can't help but wonder if it's just my laziness that makes me feel like logging is a chore... It's not that it's not fun, really. I've had a rough semester with school and it's just so easy to come home on break and do absolutely nothing because, well, I don't have to!

Thank you so much for your lovely reply and suggesting that link. I appreciate you as well, and thank you for taking the time to read my log! We can certainly still get to know each other. I love new friends and especially friends who love Tamas!

*mimitchi* :mimitchi:

Ira changed into Kusatchi! I was not expecting that if I'm honest... I only let her hearts drop all the way to empty once, but that was probably what caused Kusatchi to show up. Come to think of it, she has slept with poop beside her bed a few times. That may be a key element to obtaining Kusatchi. I was never terribly cruel to Ira, but she decided she wanted to be Kusatchi. And that's fine. In Kusatchi's description, it says she is sickly, but loves heavy metal music. Maybe Ira is in there listening to Metallica to pass the time.

Here is a picture of her. She looks very happy!:

In other news, I decided I wanted to bring another Tama into the picture because after Ira passes on, I'm going to put her back in her box. I don't play with my P2 much because it's the only one I have and it's screen is already failing, so I want to keep it in as good of shape as possible. In my signature, I have links to some older logs and in the one titled "Tamlife!" I had a Mimitchi named Camry which was a V4, the glow in the dark design.

I wanted to start a Tama with a big variety of things to do so I went with the V4, where I could receive mail, go to school and work, and play all sorts of games so I can spend money at the shop. I like the V4 because while it's not as complicated as the newer versions (I say complicated because I barely know how to work anything past a V5 lmao), It has a lot more to do than a V1 does. So with that, I brought Camry back from her slumber. If you want, you can read my older log about Camry in my signature.

She is a Mimitchi, 3/4 full in training, all hearts full, Intellectual: 136, Art: 23, and Social: 31, 5 years old, 68lbs, and 14970 points! Apparently Camry is loaded... I forgot about that. She is the first generation, so when the matchmaker comes, her child will make the second. I received a fortune just a second ago with a good prediction about her love life! Maybe that's a sign the matchmaker will come soon! For now, we're going to play some games. The clock is set wrong, so before I go to sleep, I'll reset it. I want to keep her awake for now, though.

Here is a picture of Camry:

That's all for now. I hope you're all having a fantastic Christmas Eve Eve!
