  1. I've been playing for over 2 years now. I'm actually just coming on again after a several month hiatus. I left because I got extremely bored, and when I first tried to get back on I didn't really have anything to do except check up with my (awesome) guild. Then, I started getting into NQII... I've been getting on ever since (that was about a month or two ago), even though I kind of got bored with NQII a couple weeks ago. :P

  2. Music discussions are the best!

     

    Okay, I'm pretty 'across-the-board' when it comes to music. I dislike country music strongly (which is not a good thing because I live in Tennessee, the country music state). I strongly dislike most blues (which is also not a good thing because my dad is in a blues band). I don't care for much rap/hip hop. I don't like most of those Disney Channel star/singers (I do like a couple of them personally, but not their music), Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga or Rihanna, just to name a few people.

     

    Whenever I hear country music, I just get this shutter feeling and search for something else to listen to.

    Definitely agreed!

     

    I like almost all kinds of music, though I'm not a huge fan of a lot of the more popular material out there. Then again, I'm not one to discriminate against a sound based on whether or not it's 'mainstream'. I usually default to indie or alternative rock, but I've been really enjoying classical music lately.

    Hehe, you sound like me! I don't listen to a lot of mainstream music either. In fact, it's a bit weird when people ask me about my music because I'm like, "Um... probably nothing you've ever heard of." :P

     

    Anyway, onto the awesomeness!

     

    Alternative:

    Imogen Heap (love her!)

    White Lies (their the band I've been listening to all day today)

    Blue Foundation

    Phoenix

    The Black Ghosts

    St. Vincent

    Radiohead

     

    Rock & Pop:

    The Runaways (I also love the new versions of their songs performed by Dakota Fanning & Kristen Stewart)

    Sufjan Stevens

    Aly & AJ (I've liked them since they first came out)

    The Cardigans

    Jars of Clay

    Dave Matthews Band

     

    Singer/Songwriter/Folk

    The Blue Sky Project (this isn't an artist, it's an album with various artists on it. I love it!)

     

    Dance:

    Goldfish

     

    Country:

    Little Big Town

    Rascal Flatts

     

    Electronic:

    Moby

    Calvin Harris

    Massive Attack

     

    Soundtrack (Albums, because it would probably take too long to list the artists):

    The Twilight Saga: New Moon (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (although I like the movie okay, I adore the soundtrack!)

    Twilight (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

    The Dark Knight/Batman Begins Soundtracks

    The Da Vinci Code Soundtrack

    The Chronicles of Narnia Soundtracks

    The Lord of the Rings Soundtracks

    Sweeney Todd Soundtrack

    National Treasure Soundtrack

  3. I will not deny, I do enjoy Twilight on occasion, the books and movies (hec, I currently have a Twilight-themed userlookup and I love both movie soundtracks). None of that annoys me. Well, not true. Even though Bella kind of reminds me of myself (the way she looks, her clumsiness and her ability of not fitting in with the crowd), she turns into this whiny, immature girl who must get her way. That's not me at all (unless I'm in a playful mood). Jacob annoys the crap out of my in Eclipse. Edward sort of annoys me too, and Rob annoys me a lot in the movies. And Carlisle gets on my nerves because I think he's a goodie-goodie. And Rosalie annoys me. Okay, so the majority of the characters in the series annoy me. Also, Bella and Edward's relationship is totally horrible. Bella is such a weakling and has to be saved by Edward every minute of the day. But I don't hate Twilight. Like I said, I enjoy it on occasion and in moderation.

     

    What really bothers me are the countless girls who are obsessing over this series. It's not real, people! Find something else to do with your lives. I also get angry when I see little elementary school girls carrying around those books. There is a reason they're teen/adult fiction. That bothers me.

     

    I don't have much against vamps in general except there always seems at least one extremely 'steamy' scene in every vamp book/movie I've looked at (not that I've looked at a lot). I hate reading about those kinds of things, and one aspect I like about Twilight is that Meyers keeps the details to a minimum. After reading the first two books of the House of Night series, I had to stop because there was just way too much for me, even though I really wanted to continue reading them. There was one chapter in Interview with the Vampire that I didn't like at all, even though I continued to read and finish the book (which I'm glad I did, cause there wasn't really any more after that point).

  4. EDIT: Well, after a couple of days fooling around with the coding I finally figured out I just needed to add a space between .jpg') & no-repeat. One stupid, stupid space. I guess since no one helped me and I no longer need help a mod can just close or delete this thread. :(

     

    So, I haven't really coded anything in months. Randomly, I decided to create a Twilight lookup for myself. It looks just fine in Safari & Google Chrome, but the background picture won't show up in IE (I've checked several different computers using IE, so I know this isn't just a browser problem). Here's the code:

     

    <a href=/myaccount.phtml class="nav">Account</a><a href=/customise.phtml class="nav">Customise</a><a href=/games/arcade.phtml class="nav">Games</a><a href=/explore.phtml class="nav">Explore</a><a href=/nf.phtml class="nav">News</a><a href=/petcentral.phtml class="nav">Central</a><a href=/neoboards/index.phtml class="nav">Boards</a><a href=/objects.phtml class="nav">Shops</a><a href=/mall/index.phtml class="nav">Nc mall</a>

    <div id="about"><p>Hallo there! Welcome to my little slice of the net. I suppose you're here because your interested in knowing more about me... or you just randomly fell across this page. Either way is fine with me.

    <br>So, I do like Twilight (as you can see from my lookup), I can code a lookup (as you can also see), and I can design graphics okay. I'm in an adult-only guild (even though I am not yet an adult, but I'm not far!), it's fantastic. We're all very friendly and would love to have you if you're an adult looking for a guild. ;)

    I've coded several lookups in the past and I've never had this problem until now. Any help is appreciated!

  5. I have 4 worms left to find, including the black and rainbow ones. If this is a new daily, I'm not doing it. I just want a wearable item. I'm not killing myself to get it, though. :P

     

    EDIT: And of course, after I post on this board I check Moltara and *poof*, there's the rainbow worm. I love it when that happens.

  6. I've had three dreams about Neo. The last one, that happened a couple of months ago, was about me finding the Bonju avvie first and letting everyone on Neopets know about it. Actually, a week after that was when Bonju was discovered. :S

     

    I often dream about things I do and people I'm familiar with. I cannot tell you guys how many dreams I've had of my friends. Too many, that's for sure. :)

  7. Well, I'm moderately happy with my lot. At least I got an avatar and site theme. I got three items, even though I finished most of the plot on time. But still, I wasn't expecting to get an avvie or site theme, those are the two prizes I care about. ;)

  8. Right now my stocks are doing very bad: -41.21%. I have about 200K invested in stocks, although I just earned 63K from one of my stocks :D. I started investing in stocks a few months before the avvie came out. I was just wishing a couple of days before it came out, "I hope TNT makes a Stock Market avvie." I guess they read my mind. :S
