Ease up, girl! *hugs*
 
I'm confident in believing that the world is NOT going to end and people are going on with it more as a joke. Plus, it was already stated that it was just the end of the Mayan calendar, that's all.
 
Moreover, rapture was also supposed to happen twice in 2011 (they got the date wrong the first time, if I recall correctly) and here we still are!
 
Don't let some whackadoodles crazy thoughts, or people on the internet taking things too far, stop you from living your life. :)
 
See you on the 22nd!

It's personality that makes it or breaks it for me. My girlfriend is an amazing person- kind, funny, a feminist, political, caring, geeky... everything I ever wanted in a partner. That was what attracted me to her first. We were at the same geeky knitting group, and we both walked in wearing a Fourth Doctor scarf- we joked about how we couldn't touch because it would warp the fabric of time. We became friends, and for a year we hung out a lot, and every time I saw her, I learned more about how absolutely gorgeous she is as a person.
 
I do think she is beautiful, but I know that by conventional standards, she is the far from what others would consider beautiful. But that doesn't matter. Every time I look at her I see the amazing person she is, and that is what makes her beautiful.
 
It's like the Ronald Dahl quote:
“If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it.
 
A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.”

Very much this & it's still something I'm working on. 
Even over here, when posting in such a friendly & laidback environment, I'm still anxious about killing a thread. Whenever I see nobody posting after me, I'd still mentally go thread, don't die D:. Or the few threads I started, I worry that they'd flop miserably with no replies. But I keep telling myself that it's OK, & that well, I've already mapped out the worst case scenarios haha So long as I'm not breaking forum rules, it's all cool :)
 
(& re-reading after I posted this, this feels so silly & off topic that I want to delete it. Reminder to self: Thick hide)

I'm currently listening to Supernatural S01E05. I realize that should say watched, but nope. Listening. Listening and playing neo-games.

I don't have any firm plans to quit, although I know I will become less active. I've only began playing daily again a few weeks ago (after my exams and school finished for the year). As soon as my classes start up again, i'll slowly begin to 'leave'. By about September next year I probably won't be on at all (until the Advent Calender starts up :D). I can't say it is because I won't have the time, because I could easily make time. My main issue is I'm worried I'm going to regret going on Neopets. I know myself and I know I will probably feel really really bad if I go on Neopets when I could be studying, especially because I know school is going to be hectic. Then I will feel REALLY bad if I don't do well, when I know I could have aced it. Which is EXACTLY what happened earlier this year. The AC happens to be at the same time as my mid year exams, and my marks reflet that. Do I regret going for All-Star? Yes, yes I do. Ah, who am I kidding. I love that trophy :D

Gah so hard to choose, I'm like in a candy shop :woot:
 
Good luck to everyone who entered c:

I'm waiting for an event just before christmas actually. On the 17th I get the results from my external exams. I'm actually excited because I think I did well in my exams (well, two of them anyway) but really nervous on the other hand because I had the internals for absolute top marks in two of my classes, and they are NOT the two which I think went well...
Apart from that...no. Doesn't make me sound like a dull person at all... :D

Play until you just don't care to anymore. Don't ever quit for any reason other than YOU want to. If you feel like you SHOULD, that's not a good enough reason. :P (Plus, you'll just get pulled back in, sometime in the future. It happens to all of us)
 
I don't feel slightly embarrassed about playing. Then again, I actually started playing around the age it seems like quite a few players think they should be quitting. I was soon-to-be 17 when I started playing. I was introduced to it by a friend several years older, that was in college. Now, I'm 27, working full time, and married. I wouldn't dream of quitting. I don't hide that I play either. My family knows I play (My sister is 30 and still plays), my in-laws know I play, my co-workers know I play, even my manager knows I play. I've never once received any teasing or jokes made about it.
 
But even if I did, I'd do what I enjoy. It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. It's not harmful in any way, so why not do it if I enjoy it?

Well, if you read this entire thread you would find it's not unusual at all. :)

I'm almost 22, and honestly, if it came up in a conversation I wouldn't care. c:
If strange looks were thrown my way, I'd just say something like it's fun to draw pets, and some of the games are quite fun. I don't see what's so wrong about that.
That's like, saying I still like Pokemon, or the fact that I bought myself a Lego Star Wars advent calendar this year. I think they're awesome and if people raise their eyebrows at me, then perhaps they just can't handle my levels of awesome.
 
I believe that a lot of the stuff on neopets caters to an older audience anyway; look at the stock market for instance. There's no way I would have ever wrapped my head around that when I was twelve. And a lot of the contests and whatnot; there's some really high quality work going into that.
 
At the end of the day, don't ever feel too old for something; you're only as old as you feel. So embrace all those awesome things like Neopets that you enjoy! ^^

Is there a competition going on for the weirdest topic?
 
If so, you definitely get my vote :P

Hi Everyone!

As Neopets continues to grow and add more exciting things, we all want to play more, whether it's on our phones, at home, at school at work, in Narnia, on vacation, at Grandma's, and anywhere else we tend to hang out. With TNT also spoiling us with fun content, many of us also have side accounts to hold all our extra stuff.

However, TNT also has some strict rules about what is ok and what is not ok regarding accessing accounts and what is allowable/ not allowed on side accounts. Hopefully this thread will help out those who aren't sure what is allowed regarding Neopets accounts.

First of all I LOVE your gallery! I have some suggestions for Ross, such as Jetsam Teeth Maintenance (referring to the time he got his teeth whitened) and maybe some kind of black trousers as a referance to the leather pants incident (unfortunately there are no leather pants on neopets :/) ?

I am not that interested in another pet space as that is what I use my sides for. I have never paid for NC or premium, nor will I. One of the reasons I joined neopets in the first place (and stayed) was because it is an escape from the real world. Adding real world financial pressures via the use of NC has never appealed to me, regardless of the "perks".
