Novelista Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I've seen something like this on other boards (like the Jericho message board I used to be a member of), and I thought I'd start something like that here. In the past, I've seen these lists numbered; but since multiple people posting can mess that up, I think we ought to stick with bullets. === You know a game by its ID number. Not yet, but I sometimes feel like I should! You've spent time making a list of what real creatures the Neopets could possibly correlate with. I have one in the Neopets folder on my hard drive. :laughingsmiley: You don't believe TNT's description of the 'pets as "pocket creatures" (how on Earth can a Skeith only be 3'3" tall?!), so you've made a list of how tall they ought to be. Guilty! I haven't finished my list (and I may never)...and I just checked and I haven't figured out how tall Skeiths are. Chombys, on the other hand, I have listed at 6.75 feet. (Stegosauri were nine feet tall, but I put down that I thought they were smaller and cuter than the real thing. :) ) === Next? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I never believed that Neopets are pocket creatures as well .. this is why my original idea was to create all my Neopets are Eyries and morph them later ... that didn't work out though as most morphing potions are expensive ... but that's why my Mutant Lenny's Height is 160 cms. That's only 15 cm shorther than I am ... You know you're a Neopian Nut when you start spelling Cow Kau ... and when you see a kitten you say "oww look at the little Schnelly" ...

Saxen Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 When you dream about Neopets on a regular basis and amazing things happen - and then you wake up and you're like NUUUUU I DON'T HAVE THAT AVATAR/THAT PET/THAT TROPHY :'( Novelista 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novelista Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 I didn't know you could change the height by starting out with a different pet, Angelo...that's interesting. Poor Saxen! I've never had a Neopian dream like that...only some dreams in high school where I was dating someone and then woke up to realize I was single. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxen Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Ahh those suck, I've had plenty of those as well XD Also ones where I've dreamt about someone I've never liked, but when I awoke was like oohh... actually ;D aha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ11 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 you know your a neopia nut when... you look at your boiled eggs in a morning and find yourself wondering if they are going to be nesters workers or soldiers :mellow: gracejane94, Bright ^_^, rntracy1 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatlauralass Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 You're genuinely distraught when your pet is ill or sad. You have occasionally referred to a classic arcade game as it's neopets equivalent. You know what your pets personality, likes and dislikes are.

Dashana Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 You suddenly burst out: "Hey, what do you think of the new event on Neopets?" when your friends are around (this actually happened today). When you start throwing tremendous rages (with cusses) to your friends via the internet because you missed a morphing potion. Story of my life.

Novelista Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 You're genuinely distraught when your pet is ill or sad. That happened to me when I first started twelve years ago. My pet of the time got sick with something from the Wheel of Excitement and I couldn't afford the cure, so I was up in arms about it. (I clearly didn't know about the healing springs.) Somewhere in my diaries (the ones dated 2002), I have written what it was and that I was upset! (And that would've been when I was sixteen!) When you start throwing tremendous rages (with cusses) to your friends via the internet because you missed a morphing potion. "Missed"? Like sniping or auctions? === This thread is getting interesting...keep going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leverhelven Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 When you learn to like omelette because of the Daily (guilty!) When you actually get late for classes so you can be near a pc when Turmy is awake! (guilty again...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 http://www.neocolours.me.uk/petsizes.php Here is a chart of Neopets sizes ... you can see the Eyrie is the largest ... although they seem to have doubled the Draik size (most Draiks these days are 100 cm tall) ... ... I have also have numerous Neopets dreams ... some including White Weewoos o_O Another reason is when you can't wait to get out of work so you can go home and work on the next plot step ... or try to sneak in some Neo time while AT WORK :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leverhelven Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Another reason is when you can't wait to get out of work so you can go home and work on the next plot step ... or try to sneak in some Neo time while AT WORK :D THIS!!! Also getting super-anxious for the next day to come so we can get new steps for plevents!!! And also... Accessing Neopets even when you're travelling without wi-fi so you won't miss a day of some event that gives you bonus prizes for participating every day (Faerie Festival, Festival of Neggs)... I have done crazy stuff in order to find computers/cell phones with internet just for that! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novelista Posted March 21, 2014 Author Share Posted March 21, 2014 ...or try to sneak in some Neo time while AT WORK ME! I used to work at a funeral home in front of a computer all day and I'd do my dailies on my lunch... ...and then I'd sneak in some games when I was bored. BAD Dayanara, BAD! :laughingsmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dashana Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 "Missed"? Like sniping or auctions? Restocking. It's my main source of Neo-Income, so I rage a lot when I miss something worth 50K+, haha. Bad habit of mine. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
passiflora Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 You know a game by its ID number. Not yet, but I sometimes feel like I should! Haha, this for me... but I know certain shops by their ID number! I also think some of my cooking might be inspired by neopian food sometimes. :laughingsmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azurablue Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 When you learn to like omelette because of the Daily (guilty!) When you actually get late for classes so you can be near a pc when Turmy is awake! (guilty again...) Oh, I am so guilty of this, too. I took it a step further and tried all kinds of omelettes that I never had before because they were something I got as a daily. (BBQ Sauce Omelettes are fantastic! Black Current Omelettes: not so great..... ) You know you're a Neopian nut when.... You accidentally hit the daily omelette button twice and apologize out loud to Sabre-X for trying to take a second slice. (Just happened. Again. For the third time this week. He must hate me by now.) :* This post has been edited by a member of staff (Spritzie) because of a violation of the forum rules. Please don't double post.

thatlauralass Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 BBQ SAUCE OMELETTE MMMMMMMM. ;A; I could go some of that just now, but I have no eggs. Every time I see that on neo it always makes me hungry, haha. Also I'm totally guilty for sneaking neo time in at university. I'll just disappear off to the mac labs at lunch to check my emails then I end up playing on neo for like an hour. People must refer to me as that "weird neopets obsessed person" down there, haha.

Bright ^_^ Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 When your address bar memorizes tons of neopets urls, so you type in one or two letters, and BAM! You're at the page you want to be. Also, when you try to guess what the next day's puzzle for the Portal Activation Center will be and end up creating and unsolveable puzzle for yourself. (And it ends up being the same as yesterday's puzzle!!!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinti Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 When you wish your pets could pop out of the computer and into Earth :D My parakeet and my Neopets would have so much fun! I can sometimes think up stories like I go to the grocery store (where I've worked, btw) with f.ex Samexxi flying beside me, and when I enter I just plump out, totally casual, "Hey, Asra, this is Sam. Come on, let's get some waffle dough!" Thats probably taking it a bit too far, but I'm like that with everything (I've been on vaca with one of my main caracter from my once to be book and been in love with another) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novelista Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 I'm not sure I'd want my pets to pop out of my computer. I think the cats would have a problem with two rodent-things, a tiger, a small dragon and a wolf. O.o (Plus, never having been able to afford to move out, there's always the, "What would my dad think?!" issue. :laughingsmiley: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rntracy1 Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 You feel guilty and go buy MORE toys for your pet because he/she tells you "all the other pets have more toys than me." I am always a sucker for the things my pets say to me. LOL. It is as if they are REALLY saying it to me. LOL. Just like when I put my main battledome pet into the academy for training, my other pets get a sad look on their face, but my poogle actually looks mad. It is kind of funny. But I actually felt bad for her one time and put her on a course too. Now I just try not to look at her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
