5:50 pm	With Ivey Hiya all, I came out here to hang out with Eclipse and find myself a lot of the time with Ivey. She's planning to get me back to Eclipse this weekend... though Ivey has been very busy lately with trips. She picked me up to bring me to Phoenix's wedding, since than I've also been to AWA and AAC. So much stuff, and I still need to finish writting up about San D with Brin and Toronto con with Eclipse... talk about getting around. I've been a busy Turtle. Once Ivey gets the time, she'll get some pictures that were taken of me at some of the cons that haven't been posted yet, so that we can get them up here. I am sorry I haven't written in awhile... just on the road with people who don't have lap tops, one won't fit in my box. ([;{-) I'll write back to you all soon... if Ivey finds her Camera.. later today. Current Mood: tired (Comment on this)

8:19 am	Updates on my California visit 8/27/06 (Brinatello's House) Greetings, everyone! My current whereabouts are still with Brinatello on the west coast, and I must say, I am having a wonderful time! Since my arrival on July 6, she has taken me to quite a few places, much of which has been photographed on my own personal camera. At the moment, she has two photos available for viewing and I will explain what they are in this entry. There have been some big events she has taken me to, the first being a trip to Hollywood, CA on July 14. It was her mother's birthday and she mentioned having tickets to some pirates show at a special theatre. I sat with her and her family as they ate an early lunch before their show started. We were then taken inside this glorious theatre with lavish decorations and some gentleman dressed as a pirate. After the show ended, Brina and her family drove to an outdoor theme park called Disneyland where we dined at an exquisite restaurant known as the Blue Bayou. While waiting for our table, Brinatello took the opportunity to do a photo with myself. See photo 1: I didn't see much of this theme park on that day, but Brinatello took me a second time along with her sister, Christine. On August 11, they both treated me to nearly a full day of this park, followed by going on some roller coaster ride in the dark. Brinatello bought a photo from the ride and allowed me to show it here. See photo 2: She called this ride Space Mountain, and all I can remember is a lot of screams in a darkened room! When I thought it was over, she pulled me from the safety of her backpack and I saw a lot of flashing lights go off! It was fun, but I must admit I was quite frightened by it all! Unfortunately, I depart tomorrow to return to Ivey to attend a convention in Toronto. It was Brinatello's birthday today and it was a nice day well spent. Anyway, Brinatello is signing off to go to bed and I'm off to do the same. Take care, everyone, and thank you for taking the time to visit my journal! Sincerely, Jaffa Cake (Comment on this)

9:07 pm	June stay at PG's for a week. Another day on the road to Brinatello's. So I figured I'd use this day to do another update post of things I've done over the last few months when Ivey wouldn't let me near the computer. And what I'd really like to talk about, was our visit to Phoenix's house. We did a lot of fun stuff that week, though one of the best things was a modle truck that Ivey got from Big Lots. I've got some pictures of the making of the ( Modle Monster Truck ). I also have pictures from the different meals that we had, PG took us to all kinds of ( Food places ). That food sure was good! Esp the S'Mores I loved roasting my own marshmellows!!! There's a few more pictures.... PG was kind enough to let me have a drink to relax one night. But man... I needed the TV remote to make it a good night in front of the TV. Here's pictures of me with my ( drink ). It was a Great week, I wish I had more pictures to share of the week. Just keep an eye on Ivey's reviews on TMNT-L for more pictures from the full trip in June. She took a lot more than I did. I'm spending the weekend in CHICAGO, IL. I think I'll be back on the road Monday. I just know forsure I'll be at Brinatello's by Wednesday. Time to enjoy a bit more of my stay here. Take care everyone! Current Mood: bouncy (Comment on this)

9:53 pm	Convention Pictures both ANs Wow my stay with Ivey is done, I've left her house and is on the way to the west coast to visit with Brinatello. Though I'm taking this traveling time to do some major needed updates to my journal about my adventures with Ivey. I will post some pictures, and more journal entries about my stay with Ivey as well. Just will mark down in the topic that the entry is thinking back to my visit with Ivey. ([:{-) I will do this with anyone I visit with, this way if something doesn't hit me right away, and I remember it later I can still add it to my journal. I've done a handful of conventions with Ivey from Motor City Comic Con. Which was a convention in May held in Novi Michigan. Than we went to ( Anime North ) The next convention that has pictures is ( Anime Next ). After that, Ivey and I got trapped in PA for a week, while her bug was down. Though we soon found ourselfs down in KY, and heading to Adventure Con for the weekend. Sad thing is, Ivey forgot to take me on Saturday, so there's no pictures of me with Corey Feldman or even at the convention. *pout* I have lots more fun pictures to share from when I was with Ivey. Including pictures at PG's house, and Pictures from when I was at Mily's house. Also pictures at Eclipse's house. So I will update this from time to time with those pictures. I hope everyone enjoys this update, while I'm traveling across country to Brinatello's. Current Mood: ecstatic (Comment on this)

11:31 am	Long time! Hey everyone, You know with everything I've done with Ivey, you'd think she'd let me have the computer to update my journal every now and than. Though as soon as we get home from all of the fun trips, she gets on the computer to chat on her instance messangers, hang out on TMNT-L, and #TMNT. While I sit here hoping for a chance to get the computer from her... and people thought she was only obessed with Turtles... she's addicted to the internet too!!! I've seen so many more movies recently with her, again with free passes, including X-Men 3. Which I will say is a WONDERFUL movie, go see it if you haven't and make sure to stay for the end of the credits, it's important! Not only have we done movies, I got to go to two conventions in May. Motor City Comic Con and Anime North. So there's a lot of fun stuff that has happened. We didn't get too many pictures at Motor City Comic Con, though we did have a good time. I got to meet Lisardo and HotHead. I also got to meet a lot of famous people like Wednesday Adams from the original Adams Family series. Timmy from Lassie, and Bud Bundy from "Married with Children". We even met Jerry from Survivor. And we spent a lot of time around these people. Ivey was a volunteer at the convention, and her job was to make sure all the guest had drinks and breaks when they needed it. So that was a wonderful weekend. I'll have to check through the photos to see if there's any from that weekend. The following weekend was Anime North, and we did a lot that weekend. I got to meet so many people, Jeff Nimoy who does the voice of Wolfwood on Trigun, Quinton Flynn who's going to be Casey Jones in the new TMNT movie, Michael Dobson who was the voice of Leonardo on Ninja Turtles : The Next Mutation and Brain Dobson who said he was the voice of Dragon Lord on The Next Mutation (Got some questions to ask, since Dragon Lord is credited to someone else online). Ivey ran Shadow Wolf and me all over this con, from panel to autograph session... to the dealer room... all of our legs were tired by the end of the weekend. I got to meet Mily, which was great. She had her boyfriend with her the full weekend, he was cool too. Got a really neat toy of Grr from "Invader Zim". We ate out at a place where Ivey shared some garlic cheese bread with me. Mily knew our waiter there from the other times she's gone to Anime North. After the con we went to Mily's house for a night, she's got a GREAT place, I hope I get to visit there again for a longer time. She has her own appartment in her family's basement... and the house that they live in is off of a lake! Very nice!!! On June 7th, Ivey took me to the zoo with her mom and sister. It was her sister, Miki's Birthday. At first we were not sure we were going to go, because it was raining, but it was GREAT that we did go. We got to see all the animes up and lively, playing in the ran and there wasn't many people, so it was almost like having the zoo to ourselves. I got many pictures taken at the Zoo, that'll be in a picture post. And Ivey really should right about the Polar bear that wanted to eat her so badly, that it'd swim right at her, bearing it's teeth, jaw opening and closing... going right up to the glass. Though it was a young girl polar bear, it was so much fun. Ivey just fell head over heals for the girl. Other animals that made some very memorable events was the tigers, which wanted our full attention and would annoyed when we'd get distracted from him. The Gorilla, who sat right in front of the window, leaning against it, while a Bamboon kept threating it, in well a really bad way. The Kangaroo that had a baby in the pouch, which was laying down for us to see the baby. And the Turtle that was crossing the walk way, that I got to sit next to and say hello to it. Many great pictures coming your way. Any how, till next time I'm going to head off. Ivey wants the computer (not like she doesn't get it enough). Hopefully she'll let me get some pictures up before we leave for the next two conventions. Current Mood: optimistic (Comment on this)

12:22 pm	A few small updates Hiya everyone, this week has been a bit slower, though Ivey did get her bug back so I wanted to share a few pictures with you ( Ivey's Bug and I ) Another thing is we went to the park with her Nephew again. This time we asked for a nick name, and the nick is "Smoothie Little Man" so I'll just call him SLM for short. I don't have any pictures of me with SLM from yesterday, though I do have pictures of me with another Turtle to share. ( Read more... ) I hope you all enjoyed the pictures. ([:{-) I believe we're staying in today. Current Mood: calm (Comment on this)
10:41 am	"American Dreamz" That's right, another movie review... I'll get into that soon. Though first onto a bit about yesterday. Ivey was woken up around 7:40am... and she decided that if she couldn't sleep in, neither could I. So she took me on the work run to take her mom to work so she can have her mom's car, till the bug was ready. Than we went and got breakfast... heading back to Ivey's house. We sat... and sat... waiting.... waiting for what? A friend to come online to not be alone anymore. Ivey has gottan really lonely lately and it shows even when she doesn't want it too. Though not long after the friend came on, Shadow Wolf came over to have some help with some stuff we're doing for Anime North. So they started to go over that... don't know what Anime North is? Well check out this link for more TMNT fan info http://www.tmnt-l.com/viewtopic.php?t=112 They ended up having to run out... so they went to Taco Belle, the Bank, than Starbucts... See Belle has got Ivey hooked on Starbucks... so we went there and Ivey found... "Free Passes" to see "American Dreamz" for last night at 7pm. So next thing I knew, her family and I were going to another sneek peek movie. And yet another movie I never heard of till the free passes appeared out of no where. Now let me say this without the spoiler warning. "American Dreamz" is MUCH BETTER than the ads are! The ads on TV do NOT give this movie any justics! Infact the ads stink and if I saw those before seeing the movie, I WOULD NOT have gone to the movie with Ivey's family yesterday. So if you're sitting thinking the ads for that movie SUCKS, you are correct... but don't let that judge the full movie for you. ( American Dreamz Spoiler ) Hope everyone enjoys the review, and remember the movie is better than any of those ads out there will let ya think. Current Mood: impressed (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:18 am	Weekend News Hey everyone, Updating another weekend with Ivey. This weekend was a bit serious, esp Saturday. Saturday morning Ivey's phone went off waking up both Ivey and I. Belle, was in the hospital and wanted some company. Ivey is still waiting to get her car back, so we would have to borrow her mom's car. When we asked about the car, her folks were using it to go for breakfast so Ivey asked to tag along... her parents kind of made noise about not being able to afford her too... though she offered to pay her own. Ivey shared her pancakes with me, the thing about how Ivey orders her food she only cost a little over a dollar her pancakes are part of her mom's order so they only cost 50 cents more on the bill, than there's the cost of the tea... really the meal only came to $1.66 extra with Ivey's amount on the bill. What her folks did not except to happen, was when Ivey grabbed the bill and went up to pay it all. Infact her dad didn't even realize she did it at first. Though what disappointed Ivey was that her dad was reading the paper for a bit, she was ready to go... to start getting the day together. Though her dad than said "Oh I read the paper to long, we don't have time to stop by the house, our movie is going to start". So next thing Ivey knew, she was stuck going to the movie threatre with her folks. They were going to see a movie she never even heard of, and really didn't have much interest in.... so next thing we knew Ivey picked a different movie.... "Curious George". It was an ok movie, but the full time, Ivey was thinking of the other stuff she wanted to be doing... than we went and walked around the mall for a bit. Finally her folks called and we got to head out. Once we got to the house, Ivey printed up pictures from Beast's party and of her car to give and show Belle. Than we went and picked up Shadow Wolf, to make sure we got lunch in us Ivey stopped and got some Taco Bell. Than we finally got to the Hospital. Inside the Hospital, Belle asked about no pictures before we even got there so we didn't take out the camera. Though we did find a Balloon of a butterfly that said "Get Well" and all pitched in to get that, than hung out in Belle's room. Now I can't give all the detail of what happened with Belle, because it wouldn't be right. Let's just say it was really serious, but she's ok now. Though on bed rest. We had Belle laughing a lot, her spirits seem to be up and she's ok. Though one scary thing did happen while there, Ivey had some Starbucks! Talk about watching something insane, she was on a total energy high. Belle, SW, and I got a lot of laughs thanks to Ivey. Though don't know how many days I'll be able to put up with her on that stuff ([;{-) After that we came back to Ivey's house, and had dinner. Easter day Easter we woke up, late for Turtles so we haven't even got to see the full ep yet, we will when we go to Shadow Wolf's. Though right away Ivey's mom, Gea, told us to get ready for Easter dinner. They wanted it at 1pm... talk about an early dinner. So we raced getting ready. Gea went to get Aunt B. As we went to get Ivey's brother, sister-in-law and nephew. After picking everyone up, we met at a place called Logan's. Ivey and I sat with Aunt E. for a little bit, while waiting to get our table. Aunt E, sat with Ivey and I durning the dinner as well. Before dinner we took some photo op time... ( Easter Dinner Pictures ) Durning Dinner, Miki gave us all candy. Lucky Ivey got a chocolate Michelangelo. Though Ivey shared it with me, along with her small chocolate bunny. But she kept her peep for herself. After dinner we came back here and Ivey spent the rest of Easter online. Current Mood: peaceful (Comment on this)

8:06 pm	"HOOT" * Originally posted on TMNT-L (besides for the picture) * Hey everyone, once again Ivey has managed to pull out of a hat, tickets to a premire movie. This time we were going to a movie called "Hoot" which will be out in threatres on May 5th. First came the challange of finding the threatre, that Ivey and her family never been to before. They even passed the threatre once, not knowing that was it. Once we got there, we faced something that wasn't too cool... they checked bags and purses... so our hidden food got sent back to the car... waaaa I wanted Cheetos.. instead we sat there with nothing, food at threatres are a bit more than it's worth. So we sat down, they started up a slide show with 14 still shots from the film playing over and over again to the sound track of the film. S got o hear a lot of Jimmy Buffet music. Though we also got these programs with facts about the owls, the movies and stuff like that. 15 pages of something to look through and learn stuff before the movie took place. Here's some Movie Facts (that are not spoilers) that Ivey learned and found interesting from this program, so she shared them with me. Hoot is the first commercial movie ever to film an endangered species of owl. Mother Nature took center stage durning filming: Hurricans Dennis and Katrina each shut down the set and Ophelia delayed post-production. And Ivey's favorite Movie Fact is.... The three-legged dog in the movie Hoot belongs to director Wil Shriner's neighbor. Now Ivey asks for help... Ivey wrote: "If anyone does see this movie please tell me where in the movie this Three-legged dog is. I watched looking for it, and could not find this dog unless it's one of the two attack dogs but I didn't notice if it was. Thanks" The clips on the screen counted down 15 minutes, than the live feed came in from CA where we got introduced to the Director and Jimmy Buffet. Than they told us to wait till after the credits for the Q&A and a live show from Jimmy. So the movie began. ( Spoiler for the movie HOOT ) Once again, I give this movie a Thumbs up and do recommend people to check it out. For more information on the movie check out the offical web site at http://www.hootmovie.com/ Current Mood: amused (3 Comments |Comment on this)
7:14 pm	More of my week. Hey everyone, Sunday took so long to post I'll love to update the rest of the week on here for everyone. At least the High Lights. So I'll only touch the days where I have stuff to share about. Monday: Monday we went to the vet with Ivey's dogs Toby and Sassy so they could get their shots. Ivey did get one picture while there of the two dogs, I think I may be in the back ground. ( At the Vet ) Tuesday: Tuesday we went to the movie threatre where we saw "Benchwarmers" for a promtional stunt for the new Robin Williams Movie "RV". One of the RVs was there, it was one of the two RVs that did the driving for the movie, according to one of the guys working the event, this RV did all of the off road driving and was even sent into a lake. So it did a lot of the stunt work in the movie. When we got up there they told us they were all out of hats, but they gave us a small movie poster, some air freshners, and movie passes to see a sneek peek of RV on April 27th. They had a card board stand up, to take photos with. Ivey and her sister, Miki joined me in the first picture. We took another picture that was just me, and one last one of Ivey and Miki and I, trying a different pose. I have permission to post only the picture of me with the stand up... which is ok, though it still needs to be scanned. The other pictures make Ivey and Miki look like gaints because of how small Robin Williams is on the cardboard. Ivey introduced me to the people that were there, one of the guys at first kept calling me Michaelangelo, so Ivey had to let him know who I was. And how I get to travel around to meet the different TMNT fans. Everyone started to talk Ninja Turtles with us, so that was really fun. After some of the people left, the workers did find they had a few hats in a box and gave Ivey and Miki some RV hats. Ivey than took some time to take a few pictures of her own. ( Pictures of RV Promotion ) After taking pictures we walked around the mall near the threatre. Ivey and Miki never been there before, so it was their first time walking around as well. While there we stopped in a pet shop and I got to meet some nice dogs, one of which was the same type of dog that Toby and Sassy was. Ivey wanted to take her home. After spending some time in there, we headed over to a Ice Cream Shop, where they make all of their own Ice Cream. Ivey treated Miki and I to some Ice Cream. VERY GOOD ICE CREAM!!! We got Cake Batter Ice Cream. It was GREAT! Than we headed back towards the car, we bumped into the guy who ran the RV set up, and he told us that the RV is dead... there was someone inside of it, fixing it. Which is bad, since he had another gig to show up at and was already late. So we talked a little longer, not too much longer though. Than hit the road. Spent most of the rest of that day running around with Ivey and Shadow Wolf. ( Mikey Chocolate ) Thursday: Thursday we went to see the movie "HOOT", though I will give that movie review a post of it's own. Friday: Today, I got to go with Ivey and her brother to the park. They took her nephew. So we had fun getting photos and video of her nephew. I managed to find myself into one of the pictures. ( Baby photo ) Well there you have it, a brief run through of my week with photos. I'm surprised Ivey is keeping me this busy. Current Mood: tired (1 Comment |Comment on this)

5:06 pm	More from Beast's Bday party day Hey everyone, I think this is the final bit from Sunday. Sorry it took me so long to finish this up, Ivey just keeps running around. Even now we're getting ready to go see the movie "HOOT" which comes out on May 5th. I'll do a review on that as well. I also have to post still about Tuesday when we went to see a display at a threatre on the movie "RV" (which we will be seeing on April 27th). While eatting, Belle showed us the cake for the party. Sadly though, we only got to look at it. As the cake was not cut before we left. ( Cake and me ) After getting food, Ivey took me into another room where Chip and Babe were playing. Which is where that last picture on the other post is from. So I took a few pictures in that room with Chip and the trains he playing with. Chip loves trains and toy cars, according to Ivey he'd love trains most of his life. So that's really cool. ( Photos of Chip and I with trains ) After telling everyone we were leaving, Ivey stopped me over by Beast so I can get a picture with the birthday boy. This was the last thing to do before heading out, and Ivey was really tired and still had stuff to do. ( Photos with Bday boy ) We left the party and took Shadow Wolf home, Ivey checked a few things with the Tivo, than we went back to Ivey's house. I spent that evening watching TV, Ivey on the other hand spent it role playing on dalnet with her friends. You can't get the computer away from her durning RP time.

10:38 pm	Beast's Bday Party day, Part 2 Here's more from Sunday, first a few more pictures from when I was at Shadow Wolf's house with Trouble, and even a few pictures of Ivey. ( Photos with Trouble ) After spending time at Shadow Wolf's house, we went to Beast's Bday party. Some Turtle Fans from our group have met Belle and Beast before, they've done Turtle Con booths for Motor City Comic Con with Ivey. Belle and Ivey have been friends since 1991, they met in Jr. High though according to them, they've known each other longer than that... just didn't realize it. Though that's another story. Once we got there, Chip was watching "Bambie 2" and Belle was sitting on the couch with a friend (EmeraldMuguet aka EM), Beast also had a friend sitting with him (don't have a online nick for her). Chip's father was there, as well as EM's husband. Along with another friend of Belle's that lives at her house (He's the father of the friend that was sitting with Beast). Gotta love going around using real name, eh? Any how, we sat around and talked. Ivey filled everyone in about her car and the accident. She also took time to introduce me to everyone there. So I got to go around and say hi. Mainly spent time with Belle's family. ( Party Pictures ) This is all for now, I'll have more party pictures soon. Just don't want to post them all at once, that'd take awhile for the page to load. Take care all and good night. PS. Going to another movie tomorrow night, we're going to see the movie "HOOT" which is due in threatres on May 5th. Current Mood: excited (1 Comment |Comment on this)

10:14 pm	Photos with Trouble, the day of Beast's Bday party. Hey everyone, Sunday Ivey took me out for the day and I thought it'd be fun to post about. The goal was to go to a birthday party for her friend Beast. Though before going there, we had to go pick up Shadow Wolf and start recording stuff off of her Tivo. While they did that, I got to play with Shadow Wolf's cat, Trouble. And he is a trouble maker. Here's a few pictures. ( Pictures of Trouble and I ) Night All!

12:00 pm	Benchwarmers Hiya, I already posted about this movie on TMNT-L, though here I'll like to share my pictures from the day. So here's a bit about the movie and some pictures. Last night, Ivey and family took me out with them, to see a movie called "The Benchwamers". Ivey and her dad won free passes for the movie. Before going, we got to eat some pizza and than hit the road. Once we got there, we sat and watched very boreing and well, not too fun ads until 7pm rolled around and on came the trailers for movies coming out. "Over the Hedge" looks like a Great movie, it even has a Turtle in it! There was a few other funny ones in there too. I hope to get to go to many more movies. ( Spoilers for The Benchwarmers ) This was a premire showing, so the movie is coming out today to threatres. If anyone else sees it, please do share your reviews here. ([:{-) Oh for everyone to know, we picked up a flyer and next Tuesday we're going back to the threatre "Emagine, Novi". We're going out there for a promotional thing for the new movie Robin Willaims is in "RV". Here is what it says about the promotional event. Columbia's Mobile Marking Unit, the eye-catching green and white RV droven by Williams in the movie will visit Emagine Novi equipped with a plasma TV screen that will show the trailer and behind-the-scenes footage from RV to visitors who hop aboard. There will also be photo opportunities and premium gifts available. This event is April 11sth from 10am-12pm. So be excepting a post about this, plus photos of me with the RV!!!! I can't wait!

1:38 pm	Heh today Hiya everyone, Today Donatello Ivey has been showing me around the internet. As I've got to set up my own Live Journal account to keep track of everything on, and got to join a TMHT message board called TMNT-L, where I can say hi and meet all types of TMHT fans. I got to Donatello's last month, after spending five years down with Phoenix it was time for me to pick up and move on again. Donatello has offered to help me move on, with the journal and keeping track of where I am and my stuff, so that I can have a home base while in the United States. Hoping one day to return to England. I'll love a chance to meet anyone who's willing to take care of me for a few months for events or just to meet up. To sign up to take care of me for a little bit please do go to http://www.tmnt-l.com/ and look for the topic I've started in General Discussions. I am Jaffa_Cakes on that board, and Donatello is Michaelangelo there. Donatello is also going to help me get a photo account started on here, so I'll be able to post my pictures online now, instead of just packing them all in a box to travel with. So now not only do the people who get to meet me, get to see these pictures though all my friends here on the internet can see my pictures as well. I will be posting more soon, with pictures and stories to tell. :) Best Wishes, Jaffa Cake Current Mood: creative (1 Comment |Comment on this)
12:40 pm	August 28th, 1999 Hello again, from Jaffa Cake! I spent the past 4 months in California (mostly). It started out with a really fun, but hot day at Great America! I went on several different roller coasters with Klork, Kameko and Venus, browsed in a lot of shops, and ate cotton candy! But finally, I had to say goodbye to Klork, Kame and Neenjamom *sniffle* and than I went home with Venus. I passed the time chatting with the many other turtles who live with her. I also spent some time riding in the car, perched on the dash board, and threatening any suspicious looking people who got to close to it while she left it parked. I am happy to report that I safely protected her car from villains. Then, it was time to travel again. We boarded a plane, and flew to Minnesota! I met many strange and interesting people there - Roseangelo, Ninjatron, Sabrina, TurtleNinja, Sonia, Bonesteel (no really, the actor who plays him!) and another turtle on a similar quest to my own, Snaf. She reminds me a bit of my dear Karma back home, but Snaf wears a cape with a star on it and a yellow mask, just like mine. We had a most delightful time at BotCon. It was sad to have to leave, but Snaf came with us, and I was looking forward to ComicCon in San Diego, California, which was just a few weeks away. There was a strange occurrence at Roseangelo's house. There was a photograph taken of myself and some collectibles purchased on the trip. When the film was developed, a blurred white streak had appeared over my head! The Shredder recognized it as a ghost (I think it was a flying spork) and sent the photograph to the International Ghost Hunters Society (www.ghostweb.com) who posted the photo on their web page. So hundreds of people viewed my photograph. This is how I gained my 15 minutes of fame. Before I knew it, we were boarding another plane. This time we were going to Comic Con! I met even more people there - I saw Sabrina again, Leah-nardo, Cherubae, Dreadmon, Dawnatello, Leonardo, Sir Aig, Kris, Kevin Eastman (!), Rob Paulsen (!) and the famous Sporkette! We had a great time at Comic Con, but sadly had to leave before the fun was over, to attend another event. After departing from the convention, we went to a most lovely evening dinner, dancing and music, which lasted until the early hours of the morning. Was it really time to leave already? Yes. But my adventures are not near an end, for next I am ggoing to visit Donatello! So it's time for me to pack up my things, big farewell to Venus and Snaf, and trust the US Postal System with my very life and wellbeing! Oh dear! Yours sincerely, - Jaffa Cake PS: I haven't encountered any evil biscuits yet, but I did try some Pocky... PPS: I am looking forward to the day when I can meet Spork! Note from Ivey: This was typed up nicely on two piece of paper in Jaffa's travel box, so I figured it would be something to add to Jaffa's journal. Current Mood: cheerful (Comment on this)

12:16 pm	Introduction My name is Jaffa, Jaffa Cake. My mission is to rid the world from evil biscuits. Born on the 19th of June, 1998. I fight with the deadly, blue parasol which squirts a hallucinogenic poison from its tip, when twirled. I have a first degree from Cambridge in Physics and Philosophy. I am also an expert in the field of Martial Arts, specializing in Karate and Judo. I like nothing better than spending a relaxing evening by a pool, flicking through a good book with glass of chilled champagne beside me. Presently I am in the process of couting a beautiful turtle maiden who goes by the lovely name of Karma. She presently dwells in a country cottage in the Lake District. People say that I am fun to be with, charismatic and high achiever. I always set myself high targets and aim to reach them. My life is devoted to self achievement and Karma. I enjoy the music of the Beatles and classical music such as Mozart, Vivaldi and Bach. I greatly admire renaissance art, particularly that by Leonardo DiVinci and Michelangelo Buonarroti. I often read Shakespeare's fine plays and am currently reading "King Lear". My favourite author is Roald Dahl, Because I am a child at heart I particularly like Esio Trot and the Witches. I also read Dick King Smith and Enid Blyton. I have visited Buckingham palace to see the changing of the Guard and Trooping of the Colur, several times. I have also had afternoon tea with Her Majesty the Queen. We had toasted tea-cakes and Earl Grey followed by jam and scones with Roast Beff and Yorkshire Puddings for dinner. It was an enjoyable experience which I wish to try again sometime. I travel around London by the tube, as I help protect the environment by not using a motor car or black cab. I often enjoy watching the "telly" and my favourite programmes include Hero Turtles : The Next Mutation, Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles, Master Mind and University Challenge, which I have appeared on. I have been schooled in Eton and appreciate the discipline they enforced. My ambition is to experience all the countries of the world and then learn from my travels. Yours Sincerely, Jaffa Cake. Note by Ivey: This post is taken straight from the paper that came with Jaffa Cake. The only change made from the paper on here was the spelling of the artist Michaelangelo to the real artist name Michelangelo (since Michaelangelo is a Turtle ([;{-) ) Current Mood: accomplished (Comment on this)
