Neopets

I have been on Neopets since 2001,

back when i still did not even have my own

personal computer and I would just rent

at the nearby internet cafe.

I would disappear from the site

every now and then

and my account would be inactive;

my virtual pets would not die but languish

in a perpetual 'dying' state

till I log in and feed them again.

I actually like the idea,

that my account becomes technically

hibernating till I get interested again.

There are lots to do in site.

Its a little earth and you can do anything you like.

I usually play some games and earn some 

neopoints and then buy stuff to restock my shop.

The profits of which are funneled to my

collection of doughnuts in my gallery

or buying books and clothes for my pet.

I save a bit in the bank as well

because I do some quests too.

There are forum boards wherein 

you could post your queries and opinions.

I lurk in the Help Board a lot

because you learn by mere reading.

Any how this is my profile there,

and i am proud of my 10 year old account.

I am not into HTML customization so

its quite plain and basic.

Here is are my pets:

My jubjub is not feeling well;

he is my first pet and my favorite.

I painted him rainbow ages ago.

This grundo is my labrat,

I have been zapping him incessantly

to change his color and species

and to increase his battle stats.

This kiko I just painted clay yesterday

as a reward from a quest, neopians

would earn an avatar just by

clicking on his profile.

Yes, I am 30 and have been playing at the kiddie site

for years but I like it and I enjoy wasting time there.

Although much of the site has turned commercial, 

I still come back for games, plots and my pets.

PS.

A year ago my account was hacked and stolen,

because it was really an old account.

My safety deposit box was cleared as well as my money.

I mailed customer service and they helped me

get my account back.
