Archmage DragonRider

Hey Wizard and Dragon fans! For those of you who read my blog post, "The winners!", and looked on the "Ask Ziggy and Zany" page for Ziggy and Zany's first post, but didn't find it, sorry. Just as soon as Ziggy and Zany finished the post they knocked the computer off the desk. It took me a little while to fix it, but now it's fixed. So? What are you waiting for? Go read Ziggy and Zany's first blog post! Enjoy! :)

This just in Wizard and Dragon fans! The post with the title, "New categories", is so far the shortest post I've ever made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                                                          *loud applause*

Wow! I don't think I'm ever going to make a shorter post.

I have just added two new categories in the "Categories" found to the right side of this blog

Hey Wizard and Dragon fans! It's finally 2010!!!!!!!!!! LOL! I put 10 exclamation marks after 2010! Oh no. I just made a really, really, really bad joke! It's the first sign I'm starting to lose my mind!!! Aaaaggghhh!!!!! Calm down Archmage! Calm down!

Inhale... Exhale... Inhale... Exhale.....................................................................................

You know? I should stop telling you that I'll post stuff on holidays. I'm always too busy! I'm sorry about that, but anyway here's something I know you've been waiting  for. It's the results of the drawing competition!!!!! Well, here they are...

                                                                      1st place: Magic Man
                                                                      2nd place: Wyvern Wonder
                                                                      3rd place: Fire breather

Those are the winning names! I'll put their pictures up in the "Hall of Fame" page, "Located at the top right corner in the 'more' section", either today or tomorrow.  All the other art I saw was excellent too! Everyone's pictures were so great, I had tremendous trouble choosing 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place! I'm really looking forward to the next competition! And just so everyone gets something, I'll put up all the other contestants' art on the "Pictures" page! But just in case you're the shy type I want people to email me a yes or no answer to the question, "Do you want your picture on the 'Pictures' page?" (So basically you just email him, telling him whether or not you want your picture put up) Hey! I thought you were on vacation! (My flight was delayed for a week or two, so I decided to spend that week, or two, with you! isn't that great!) Hooray. (That better not be a sarcastic hooray.) Hooray! (Better, but needs work) Oh, just stop! You're boring the readers to death! (Hm? Don't you mean you're boring the readers to death. I mean what with that whole, "Please email if there's a problem this! Please email me if there's a problem that!" They came here to read action, and adventure! And sometimes a little comedy. This imaginary sofa is funnier than you!) Why, you! (In fact, I'm the only thing funny in this whole post! In fact, maybe you should give me full control of the "Dragon's Blog"! In fact-) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH

(Hello, I am Archmage's backup host. Sorry for the inconvenience, but this might take a couple of minutes. While you are waiting you can listen to this lovely music I picked out. Thank you, and have a good day.)

               *Cheesy, and annoying, elevator music nobody has ever heard before*

                                  (definitely more than a couple of minutes later...)

*Pant, pant, pant* Am I done? *Pant, pant* Man! Fighting with part of your own brain just knocks the breath right out of you! *Pant, pant, pant, pant* Okay I think I'm done now. Wait. OH NO! It's been two hours! Please tell me you didn't listen to the backup host's music! It's terrible! I've been meaning to fire that guy ever since I first used him! I keep writing myself notes, *looks at the billboard, covered in so many notes to fire the backup host, you can't really see the billboard any more* but I always seem to forget to actually fire him. Oh, well. Now where is my- Oh! Here's my pencil! Hmm. I need to buy more sticky notes. "Fire the backup host" Anyway, back to this post. Magic Man has already sent in a question for Ziggy and Zany. Now that's what I call psychic! It's as if he/she looked into the future, and saw this blog post, announcing him/her 1st place winner! Ziggy and Zany get so excited, the "only on Friday" thing isn't working for them. So until they can control their excitement, which by the way has a 99.9% chance of never happening, they will answer questions whenever they get them. But I've told them they may only answer one per day. That rule will probably be ignored too. After you are finished reading this blog post go look at the first "Ask Ziggy and Zany" post. Oh, and one more thing? I feel that part of what my conscience said is true. And don't tell him I said that. Most of you come here to read about action, and adventure. There hasn't been much of that lately. Don't worry though. Tomorrow, Tuesday January 5th, 2010, I'm taking a field-trip to this one time space camp thing. And if I've learned anything in my time as a wizard, I know that this field-trip isn't going to be of the normal sort. So, just to remind you, It's finally 2010, the three winners are you know who, other people email me to tell me whether or not you want your drawing on the "Pictures" page, I had a two hour fight with my conscience, I need to fire my backup host, go read the first "Ask Ziggy and Zany" question, and I have a field-trip tomorrow so check in on the "Dragon's Blog" to hear how it turns out. Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Enjoy!

Hey Wizard and Dragon fans! OMG! I'm so sorry I forgot to put up a blog post on Christmas! Lesson learned. Never underestimate the power of a busy Christmas! Anyway, tomorrow is "New Year's Eve"!!! I'm sooo excited! By the way, on January 1st, 2010, I will announce the winners of the drawing competition! YAY!!!!! So if anyone has any last minute drawings they want to enter, send them in! I got tons of cool Christmas stuff! Did you? If you got anything cool from the holiday you celebrate send me a picture of it. when you send it please use a pen name, and not your real name. I will be putting up pictures of my Christmas presents sometime soon. And another thing, someone has sent a question to Ziggy and Zany. Ziggy and Zany will talk about it this Friday. So, on Friday, when you have the time, check in on "Ask Ziggy and Zany" for the answer to the reader's question. Might I bother you with one more thing? Good! I think you'll like this! In the joy of the season I have decided to put something new on my website..... A game page!!!!! Right now there aren't many games on it, but my dad's teaching me how to program computers! So, sometime soon I will program a game to put on the game page. When I do that I will tell you in the "Dragon's Blog"! I can hardly wait for my next adventure! Go on now! Go check out the "Game" page. See if you like it. Comment on this post, (or email me) If there's something you think I should add, change, or get rid of. Have a good day! Remember, you'll hear from me on January 1st, 2010. See ya! :)

Hey Wizard and Dragon fans! Sorry I haven't posted anything for a while. I've been busy as a bee. Hm? Oh! Not because of wizard duties! If it was I probably would've told you about about them already. No I was busy with regular stuff. Decorating for Christmas, going to my choir rehearsals, and keeping Ziggy and Zany from burning the house down. Well, actually I guess you wouldn't really call that last one normal. Very few people have pet wyverns. Including wizards. You heard right, most wizards don't keep wyverns as pets. They prefer owls, or rats. *Yuck!* Getting back on subject... I've been waiting for awhile now. What have I been waiting for you ask? Well, mostly I've been waiting for more people to enter the drawing contest. I mean, it's really hard to believe the number of people entered. One.................... Only one person has submitted. I was really hoping more people would try. This would be really fun if more people enter. If nobody else does there will only be one winner. I thought of a good prize too. Oh! I see I have your attention now. The top three winners of the drawing competition get to, #1 Have their picture, and pen name, hanging up in the "Hall of Fame" (coming soon). #2 Become email buddies with me (Unless you don't want to. If you do, use the email address on the "Email Archmage" page. must make up a new pen name when emailing me so I know when it's really you sending me emails.) #3 Ask Ziggy and Zany a question, and have it answered by them the next Friday. That's right! If you get in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place you win all that! Cool right? Okay don't answer that. It was a rhetorical question. I'm really looking forward to have more people send pictures in. :) Oh! Wait! I almost forgot the other reason I wanted to post this! It's about this game I want for Christmas. I have to admit that so far it's the best Nintendo DS game I've ever played. Wow! I've never said that about any DS game in the world. (Get on with it already!) Gee you always pop in the moment I'm really happy, or excited. And only to bark angry comments at me, or criticize my choice of words. (That's what I live for.) Oh, darn it! I forgot what I was talking about! (The game.) Oh, yeah. The game is called "Scribblenauts". An extremely popular game that came out  September 15th, 2009. The idea of the game is to solve puzzles, and help the hero, Maxwell, find Starites. You can create literally anything in the dictionary, and more, with Maxwell's note pad. You use the things you create to help solve the puzzles. Like for instance, on the very first level standing in front of you is a tree. In the tree, is a Starite. You have to get the Starite out of the tree, to where Maxwell can reach it. There are many ways to solve this puzzle. You can write down, "lumberjack", on Maxwell's note pad, and the lumberjack will cut down the tree. You could also write down, "wood pecker" and the wood pecker will eat the tree. *snicker* write down, "magic carpet", and you can fly up to get it. There are, guaranteed, over 1,000,000 more ways to solve that puzzle, and over 200 puzzles to solve. But in each level there is a limited amount of items you may use at once. The less items you use the more Ollars you earn. Ollars is the money you use in Scribblenauts. You can use Ollars to buy different free-play modes. After you finish the level once you can do the advanced part. The advanced part is almost the same as the first part except you try to do the level multiple times, each time with items you've never used in that level before. By the way, when you're done reading this post, I've put up a You tube video about Scribblenauts. So watch that as soon as you're done reading this.Well there's my game review for "Scribblenauts". One more thing. As you might have noticed I edited the "Home" page. I made that change after I tried to show one of my friends my website, and he said he only saw a blank page. I've also edited a few typos in past blog posts, so you know just minor changes. Well I hope you have a good day readers, and remember, send in those pictures :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Hey Wizard and Dragon fans! Well, It's finally that special time. December 1st. Sorry I haven't put up any posts since my last one on November 24th. Yeah, you know. I was kind of busy with Thanksgiving stuff. Very important holiday to my family. So yeah, I'm really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, sorry about all of that. Thanks for checking anyway. Did you tell all of your friends about my website? If so, good for you! If not, it's okay. You can still do it some other time. Everyone will enjoy what I have planned! (So tell them already! But don't duct-tape my mouth again, or I swear you'll have the hardest time going to sleep at night!) Okay, okay. Well, here it goes. In celebration of all te winter holidays, Christmas, Hannakah, Kwa- (Just get on wih it!) Fine!!! 'Kill joy' (I heard that! Remember? I'm in your head. I can hear your thoughts!) And that still creeps me out on so many levels. (Just tell them or I'll do it myself!) I'm starting and you'll be quite. Alright? (Just as long as you actually tell them about it.) Well, here's what you've been waiting for folks! The special surprise is... A DRAWING COMPETITION!!!!!!!!!! OW!!! OW!!! OWIIEEE!!!!! Oh, right! I almost forgot, but just got reminded of it. Thank you very much for setting my head on fire Ziggy. No Icecream for you tonight! The other special thing that Ziggy just reminded me of is the new blog! Don't look just yet though! You haven't finished reading this blog post! As you can see the new blog is called, Ask Ziggy, and Zany. Readers like you will email me and- Oh, nevermind! You will learn everything about Ask Ziggy, and Zany in the first, but sadly last, blog post that I, Archmage, puts there. Why? Well, because it's Ziggy, and Zany's blog. Anywho! Back to talking about the drawing competition! Note: I ask that everyone who is currently reading this post to particapate in the drawing competition. Readers like you will send me pictures of Wizards and Dragons that you draw, through the Email Archmage page seen above. Note: If the Email Archmage page is not on the list of pages seen above, that's because I'm still toying with the Email address to get it to work the right way. Check on my website tommarow and I'm positive you will find it. Along with the picture you must send me a pen name. It cannot be your real first name, or your real last name. You may not use a friend's name either. Just make up a name. Like for instance, "Smelly Bob", or how about "Shark Hugger"? You may not use my name even if you really want to. If you use my name I will not have your drawing count in the competition. And if Frostagian or Tom want to enter the drawing competition they may not enter their art with the name Tom, or Frostagian. The drawings will be compared on age groups. There will be a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for all readers age 1 through 13, and there will also be a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place for readers 14, and up. You may enter only up to 3 drawings maximum. This will be a very fun activity if everyone does it fair. So I can't wait to see your drawings reader. Tommarow for part of my home schooling Frostagian, and I are going to a history museam! So make sure to look at my website tommarow! Remember as soon as you see the Email Archmage page email me all your wonderful drawings. Send your drawing, the pen name you want, and have fun! Also remember to look at Ask Ziggy, and Zany for LOADS OF FUN!!!!!!!!!! Let the drawing begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Wizard and Dragon fans! Calm down! Just because the title of this post is "December 1st" it doesn't mean I time traveled to the future to see what kind of a day it will be! Although that does sound like a good idea. Oh well, guess that's just another thing to add to my to do list. WOW! My to do list is so empty that on it I wrote down "write stuff on to do list" Hm. I guess I'm usually so busy fighting goblins, and doing missions for the council that I never plan anything to do on the days that I'm not doing wizard work. Hey! I have an idea! Oh it's great!!! Okay everyone, I have something to do. In fact YOU are part of it! Yes you heard right, YOU readers are going to be part of my fun. The whole thing will be about you, and it will be an event on behalf of the winter holidays! That includes Christmas, Hannakah, Kwanza, or whatever holiday you celebrate in the winter. But for now I can't tell you anything else it will be a great surprise! And I will post it on December 1st! (Hm? What's with all the excitement?) Aaagggggghhh!!!!! You're not supposed to be here! I thought this was your Tuesday nap time?!?! (Well I couldn't get any rest with all the thinking going on in your nogin, and- wait. Is this an fun blog thing for the readers? Oooh! this is cool!) Aaagggggghhh!!!!! Go back to bed!!! (No, no this is interesting! Woah! that looks fun! Your not telling them now? They're 'gonna kill you if you don't tell them this. They're way too anxious listening to this conversation anyway.) Well you're making them! Now go away! (Nah! They should hear what you have planned for them rigth here, right now.) It's supposed to be a surprise! If you tell them You're going to be one sad little part of my mind that will wish itself non existence! (Hey that's actually a pretty good idea!) Wishing your self into non existence? (No, just telling them! Thanks!) Nooo!!! (Ok here's the scoop!) LA! LA! LA! LA! LAA! LAAA! (There is going to be a big-) "There is a chatter-box coming from the south, use this duct-tape I have near me wrap it 'round, and 'round his mouth!" (*WRIP!* MM! MMM! M!) Phew! that was way too close! Sorry readers you'll just have to wait untill December 1st. But still, remember to look at my website when that day comes. You should tell all your friends about it too! They'll have as much funas you do now, watching youtube vid's, looking at pictures of wizards and dragons 'which I will put up soon by the way', and reading the dangerous, yet somehow hilarious, adventures of Me, Frostagian, Adam, Tom, and of course who would ever forget the annoying- Whoops! I mean the wonderful little angels, Ziggy and Zany! But just between you and me, the real nicknames I give them are, The Gruesome Twosome. Now remember, on December 1st I don't want you to waist any of your valuable time, so don't even try bringing up my blog page every two minutes. I will just submit my blog post at 3:00 pm. Wait a sec..... Wow, most of you are usually out of school by 3:00 anyway so I guess this isn't really a problem for anybody going to a public school. Sorry for all of you home schooled readers. Trust me I know how it feels I'm home schooled too. Anyway, keep looking at my website between today, and December 1st. I will still be putting out blog posts pretty much every day in the time it takes for december 1st to come. So coming to the end of this blog post I want you to remember to #1 tell all your friends about my website, and the special thing happening on December 1st, #2 only check my website for the special event on December 1st at 3:00 pm, and finally #3 keep checking my website between now, and December 1st. Now I'm off to go feed Ziggy and Zany. Wait! Not before I write down, "Take duct-tape off conscience's mouth." on my to do list. But for now, I think I'll leave him as he is. I'ts nice to have a little peace and quiet once in a while.

WOW! This may be the shortest post I've written. Well I'm typing this post to tell you that there is a brand new picture page! Except I haven't really put any pictures on yet. But I promise you readers I will soon. In the meanwhile I have put up a new you tube video to keep you interested until I get more pictures and write a new post. Remember, I will have pictures and a new blog post very, very, very, soon. Keep commenting.

first of all I think that dragons and wizards totally rock :) second of all I think my two pet wyverns Zany and Ziggy need a bath but thats off subject. Anyway everyday I will be posting messages about wizards, dragons, and how my pet wyverns are doing. (though whats so important about them I'll never know oh and please don't tell them I said that) Sometimes I will be on a vacation like normal people and won't be able to post notes. But I will post a note when I am going on vacation so enjoy the nonstop daily posts by me :)
