laughs I figured I'd choose my zombieness for the first one this time - which one did you end up with?

DISSOLVING

that's going to be interesting to see how that progresses! :D

which one you go with or still waiting? love the gardening ha

I went with Sporous, hence the gardening look laughs My first stage is the plant growing by RP-Paddy's right paw foot (seems strange being a normal human today instead of a wolf :P) ;)

awesome :D

how long do you reckon each stage will take to progress?

12hrs?

(I can't remember the timings for the previous years :P) but it'll be worth me keeping an eye on the diseases thread then, to see if there's any changes to stage 2 this afternoon :D

well i think it was 3 days to get a full virius .

That is so annoying. :K I have the same with tv-series. I buy expensive single seasons.. only to find a really, really cheap collection of all seasons later on- that looks way nicer. :P PS: Like for Raven, please let me know if you prefer no kisses . Those pings can get annoying I suppose. ;)

Please let me now if you dont want any kisses. :P I have autorefresher ya know going. lol

I guess it also depends on the number of stages - wasn't one year a lot less stages than the others? (or am I just remembering that wrong? :P) Looking at the strains thread, two have changed to stage two (although the image on the first post is a screenshot rather than the normal 'naked HA' image) ;)

nods they always seem to change the covers on the later editions (whether it's dvds or books), and re-released the first ones with the new look too :K I've got an auto-refresher set up too laughs I'm collecting those candy hearts, so I'm open to all zombie kisses (and that just sounds weird :P)

yeah it does depend on the strain some had less stages. Does look like we are on the next stage. kiss away. Did you get zombied?

whoa, I hadn't expected stage 3 to look quite so.... different for yours! 😮 I wonder if stage 4 will be that green fungus taking over completely? :D ....and I wonder what stage 4 will look like with that ant on the plant leaf for mine o.O :P

[edit] Mum & Dad picked the new budgie up today :D :D dances :D :D He's a yellow greywing (although I'd say he looks more green than yellow :P), and at the moment we're trying to choose a name from Billy, Sparky (quite appropriate as he was quite feisty when he came out of his travel box :P) and Crunchie (seeing as he was crunching quite loudly while I was sat next to the cage) ;) :D

Oh, such a cutie! Congrats on a new budgie! :D I like the name Billy actually. Naww, look at that face. ❤

I did.. not sure which strain I got.. :goes to see if my HA has changed:

:D We'll probably leave it a couple of days to decide for certain on his name - hopefully he'll seem to like one over the others laughs

Gotta get to know his personality to see what fits. :D Naming pets can be a lot of fun. Heck, we even name my mums cars. lol

laughs I'm glad I wasn't the only one to name cars as well :P And yeah, with the other budgies we named them after a few days, but Sid's name was already decided before we went to get him ;) It's definitely better to find out his personality first :D

My budgies were named Oscar, Happy and Funny. Not sure if you would want the last two there. lol

My mums older car were named Olga. Then she had Rasmus. The new one is named Tom. (its an urban cruiser- so Tom Cruise were the inspiration there). :P

laughs they were more creatively named than my first two budgies - Cheep and Cheep-Cheep :P (although I was about 5 or 6 when I named them :P)

That makes perfect sense :D My car's named Maisie.... because Mum and me liked the Maisie Middleton books when I was little :P That name stays with whatever car I have though ;)
