Nice blog post. 2013 was an exciting year. I can tell Club Penguin is expanding, which makes me happy for it. There were many changes, and we are going to miss how things were, but I think we can all grow into them. I'm content with how the renovated room designs turned out. I do wish I spent more time checking out parties and hanging out with friends online. Throughout most of the year, I kind of just logged on for items and pins. I did briefly check out the decorated party rooms, but not enough to really admire them.

My favorite parties were probably the Halloween Party, the Holiday Party, and the Teen Beach Movie Summer Jam. I know the last one was a sponsored party, but it did combine three great parties, and I was sick of the Adventure Parties anyway. I honestly can't say I had a least favorite party. There was something good about all the parties that made me like them.

However, what I didn't like was that some of the games took a ridiculous amount of time to complete, specifically Dino Dig, Become a Director, and Super Hero Bounce. I realize Club Penguin was trying to make the games more difficult so that people would have something to enjoy for as long as the party lasted, but after I completed them, I was just glad to finally be done with them and didn't want to play them again.

It was good to see Card-Jitsu Snow finally released after its long await. The Card-Jitsu Party that came along with it was very nice as well. I hope to see another party like it in the future. Also, the 8th Anniversary Party put a smile on my face with all its nostalgic decorations. It was great to see that Club Penguin still remembered the past, despite all the changes during the year.

With that, I believe that's all I'd like to say for 2013 at the moment. Although I'm feeling some post-holiday blues right now, I'm looking forward to The Fair in February and the parties and events to come. Here's in hopes the April Fools' Party will return this year in its 2008 glory. ;)
