Hi, guys!! I found out that I’m getting my apartment soon. I’ve been on this forum since I was 16 or 17 so that’s pretty amazing. It’s a one bedroom and I’m putting my (real life) Neopets plushies on my bed. 
 

It feels like I’m making something out of myself.

By the way, I got a FFQ the other day and have my dream Aisha.

I love that!

For me it's cooking for myself, for sure. Sometimes it sucks to be hungry and tired and still have to make something, but sitting down to my own food feels like the ultimate self-care. It's like a, "Thanks for looking after me, Body! Here's your reward." Feels like the food is almost more nourishing that way haha

Is that cheesy?

 

Not cheesy, at all. I love cooking too and thanks! I feel like self care is something that I didn’t do for a very long time. Now I’m taking time to put on makeup, get my hair cut (I’m keeping it short and “floofy”) and coordinate an outfit.

When I joined this forum I was a total tomboy, so it’s cool to see my evolution from Mallgoth and Emo to not being afraid to wear Tommy Hilfiger and J.Jill. I still love black, though. 

Sorry, I get a little carried away. 

So, while I do look less Goth and Metal these days, I still love the music and admire the outfits I see on YouTube. What are your favorite alternative fashions and subcultures? I’d say Dark Academia, Fairy Kei and Grunge are my favorites. 

Note: I am going to an Amaranthe concert this Saturday, so I’ll be wearing a faux leather vest, a shirt with the band’s logo and dark makeup. Except I have less hair to headbang with, nowadays. 

Also, I forgot to show a before and after on my self care post.

Before:

After:

What is your favorite form of self care? I’d have to say that hair care is my favorite. I cut my hair short recently and I have a pretty solid routine.

I wash my hair every other day and only condition my ends, let it air dry and comb to make it all nice and fluffy! I don’t use product. I find that skincare is my 2nd favorite.

P.S.

LOL! There is hope for me yet! I still dislike pink although it's not as bad anymore as about a decade ago. I really hated pink as well. Now it depends, I will sometimes consider something pink pretty. So for now it's still in the neutral zone.

I joined TDNF August 2, 2013 so that's almost a decade for me too. Neopets itself I joined in the year 2000 or early 2001, my current main is from 2001. I have changed a lot last decade though! Bought a house, living independently without anyone telling me what to do or how to do something. I used to just do whatever made someone else happy instead of myself. Now I will still try to make other people happy but not if it makes myself unhappy. I have always been an optimist though!

Also, about a year ago I've cut and donated my long hair and also started to wear a bit more clothes with colors instead of just black. I still wear a lot of black and I still like gothic things (pictures, music, clothes, style). And I got my eyes lasered a few months back. Guess I made quite a few changes in my appearance this last year.

I also have cats for four years now! I didn't have my two cuddle bugs that I love so very very much a decade ago!

Congrats on living independently! I’m preparing for my first apartment. It’s going to be nice for me to have my own place where I can just be myself and not have to please other people. 
 

I’ve been on this forum for 12 years and thinking back, I’ve grown a lot. I used to have a very Mallgoth clothing style and was into My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. These days I dress a more girly but wear band tees and Blackcraft merch every now and then. I’m not as obsessive about Neopets and I don’t care what other people think about me.

How has time changed you from a decade ago?

This is the best Neopets April Fool’s joke yet. I’m getting emotional over how funny and believable it is. 

Happy Gnorbu day! They are a personal favorite species of mine. The candy one is adorable! 

I ended up getting pets that have always had wearables that I think are cute but aren't for the pets I already have. I just created a Lenny and Grundo as well as adopted a JubJub. 

What pets have you guys gotten with your extra pet slots? I now have a purple Yurble, red Lupe, yellow Chia, blue Bruce, strawberry Wocky, Checkered Gelert, green Nimmo, red Zafara, green Gnorbu (as if I don't already have so many Gnorbus that absolutely it's ridiculous) and a green Tuskaninny added to my Neopet family. 

I've already bought two morphing potions and one paint brush. Dreamies for the win!!!!

That will be a challenge. I noticed that i wasn't the only one stocking up on omelettes yesterday  

Also, meet my newly created Spyder_Plant. 

I love her outfit! Thanks to the new pet slots, I got a dreamie! I adopted a blue Gelert on one of my side accounts and bought him a checkered paint brush. Now I have another checkered friend (one of my Boris is checkered). I also created a Chia on one of my sides named FriendlySushi but just call him Sushi. 

So far, I've added some pets to two of my side accounts (I had some NC that Neopets gave out through an even way back when). Now I wait for my Christmas money so I can get ten on more on my main account. 

This is awesome! Can I buy additional pet slots on my side accounts too? 

This year I know what I want, a Desert Aisha aka my ultimate dream pet. 

South Park the Stick of Truth. I’ve played it before but recently got back to playing it. 

I accidently double clicked the spin button while doing the fruit machine daily. Will I get in trouble?

I have four Faerie Quest Fortune cookies. I used my first cookie today. Is it okay to open another one today?

Congrats bestie!

Thank you! I bought five Faerie Quest cookies in hopes I’ll get a few other dream pets! 

I’ve always wanted a Faerie Skeith because they remind me of the Faerie Dragons in Heroes of Might and Magic 3.

After years of waiting, I finally saved up enough NP to transform my yellow Xweetok into a Faerie Skeith!!!! I haven’t been this excited since I got a Pastel Gnorbu and Mutant Ruki! All I gotta do now is use all of my Faerie Quest cookies so I can get a Desert Aisha and Faerie Grundo. Oh....I also have a Striped Kacheek, another dream pet. 
 

I’m so glad I’m playing Neopets again.

My family has four accounts between us and we've all logged out after emptying our shops and will stay dark until Monday. I'm the most active player, but the kids are home for Canadian Thanksgiving and they were as disgusted as me by this situation and very willing to keep away from the site in protest. I cancelled Premium after the recent Charity Corner cheating mess (guess we know now why they didn't bother to punish the cheaters) but I get Premium as a birthday present, so it doesn't expire for months. It will be hard losing it, but I manged without for years. And who knows if Neopets will still be around when it expires? Not looking good..

I’m also boycotting. The future of Neopets looks very bleak in my opinion. I miss the 2008-2010 Neopets because that’s when I really started to enjoy it. 

Candy Crush, Talking Tom and various makeup games seem to be my most used. 

1. I found out I’m on the waiting list for my first apartment 

2. I get to eat sushi for the first time in nearly a year

A-ha! Today, @Naamah D. pictures display for me! TDN's forum software really doesn't like showing me images I usually get a link that when I click on it gives me the middle finger in the way of a broken image icon. x'D

Some kind of teenageness is a requirement, I think, just so you can look back on it and see how far you've come. Your hair's looking great, were you straightening the heck out of it at school? Oh! Do you still have those boots though, those look pretty cool. >:3

@gypsykneesfor an emo high school shot, that's a really good one! I LOVE the colour of your hair now! Did you dye it darker in high school, or is the black and white shot misleading? Yes please with the post about your wedding, that sounds mental!

 

My hair was straight in school but once puberty was over it got curly. I don’t have the boots because they got super worn out. I wouldn’t consider myself “goth” anymore. I’m more average than anything.

High school emo days vs my wedding 1 month ago  

Wow....your wedding dress is beautiful. I hope you had a beautiful wedding as well. 

Have you gone through a glow up? Here is 6th Grade Naamah in her Hot Topic, "I'm so edgy" phase:

This is me now!

I still wear black, love Metal but I hardly wear band tees and prefer a pearl necklace and black flats and Converse to platform boots and spiked chokers that would've gotten me sent to the principals office lol.
