I actually had a conversation with my husband about a week ago about tattoos.
I don't hate the idea of tattoos, especially not the type that carries some sort of meaning.
But I find that there are people who get tattoos that already have a meaning associated with them, but are completely unaware of it. My husband told me he found several images of non-sailors with anchor tattoos and he found it extremely offensive. In the navy, tattoos are considered an achievement, for lack of a better word. The anchor means the sailor has either sailed the Atlantic Ocean or is a member of the Merchant Marines. They also earn tattoos for things like traveling 5000 nautical miles (a sparrow), cross the equator (a turtle), or being capable of celestial navigation (two stars). Some tattoos were done for superstitious reasons. Get a rooster and pig tattooed to your feet and you won't drown. Crosses on the bottom of your feet will keep sharks from devouring you. Silly? Just a bit. But it does have a lot of meaning and tradition behind it and I find it much more appealing than people who get tattoos for the sake of having one.
My husband and I will be getting matching tattoos some time in the future. His job involves working with electricity so wearing his wedding band at work could potentially cause a horrible syndrome known as "missing finger." So he got the idea to get one tattooed to his finger. And since I have had horrible luck with my rings (The first set broke, the second set got lost and the third set got a little too snug for comfort and kinda cut my finger.) , I figure it might be better to go with a tattoo. More personal too. (Anyone else think this is a good idea?)
Also, the toe tattoo remind me of one I heard about. (No picture, sadly.)
A man with cauliflower ear had a sign tattooed below his ear that said "Out of order".

You have to use the three rock fragments to get the ceiling to open up in a way that allows you to see the Hunter constellation.
Although, to be honest, I just used the guide.

Looking at the Avatar chat on the Neoboards made me realize my first pet peeve.
Why do so many people seem so afraid of using the words "loan" and "borrow"?
No, they need to say "looking to be lent <stuff>" or "will someone lend me <insert whatever here>"
Am I the only one that thinks it looks and sounds better if they say "Looking to borrow <something>" or "Will someone loan me <items>"?

A deserted shore stretches along in front of you.
What's this? It looks like you found something buried in the sand...
You have received 10,000
It's not a morphing potion, but it feels good to get something after not seeing anything for days. :)

I got 16,084 points for getting All-Star rank.
To be honest, there isn't really anything that looks good to me. =/
I'll probably end up picking whatever looks like it will sell well in the future.

1) Get the Number Six avatar
2) Earn 10K in interest daily (I think I'm about 8% of the way there x.x;; )
3) Get dream pets: Halloween/Pirate Kougra, Ghost/Pirate Hissi, Royal/Pirate Lupe, and Faerie/Pirate Xweetok (Methinks I like pirates...)
4) Beat Neoquest II on Normal
5) Beat Neoquest II on Evil
6) Beat Neoquest II on Insane
I'll probably add other things I want, but that's all I can think of for the moment.

I really like the new Lawyerbot avatar. It's so cute :D
I may or may not like it too. *shifty eyes*It really fits with the title I chose for the Neoboards. (Proud Nerd)

A lot of hours.
And no, the Tooth Faerie has not graced me with her avatar. :(

Haha. I've had people tell me it's surprising that I have a level 50 habitarium. :P

The Meepits are hypnotizing you into giving them to newbies. o_O
It must be a plan for world domination! (I think I might watch the Nostalgia Critic too much. As soon as I finished typing that, the first thought that popped into my mind was "Of course!")

So I played Neopets quite some time ago. I was forced to quit due to a lack of time. (And interest after a friend was frozen for "using an autorefresher.") But now that I have plenty of time, at least for the time, I've decided to try again.
Anyways, I am called andaraen and I'm a 24 year old housewife. My husband is currently in C school in another state, which is why I have so much time on my hands at the moment. *sadface* I'm a...well, I'm a nerd. I don't know any other way to put it. My current obsessions are Neopets, Psychonauts and Doctor Who (the new version, the older one isn't on netflix).
So...hello everyone. *waves*
Oh, and cake and cookies for everyone! *passes treats out*
Also, when was the Bonju avatar found? 0.o
And does anyone know what lucky Neopian found it?
