My story of how i got "off" neopets
By Lana
i want to thank you for your site. If you find it usefull for your site here is my story of how i got "off" neopets. I posting because i would like to make a point that neopets suckers come also from non lowlife families, not only from people who don't have a life. Before Neopets i had a life millions would trade for millions and thanks to common sence i regained it.
First of all i found this site when looking for neopets related sites that would help me earn nps faster and not by scamming. PATHETIC WASN'T IT?????????? I was then just 4 months married and we had happily moved to our home with a huge garden. I have a dog training licence and i used to have my own dogs before my engagement and still trained other people's pets. i could not have my own dogs yet because we were still setting up our fence. Veeeeeeery long time for such a big plot of land. So i had to wait a long time for my real pet. i almost accidentaly bumbed into neopets and found it nice. don't ask me how don't ask why i happened.
I do not drink.
I do not Smoke
I hate drugs.
i never watch tv. I have a huge anime dvd collection.
My house is bulging with books.
I have a dog training licence.
Yet i got addicted to neopets in a matter of weeks and only when i stumbled on this site did i realize that i really was not looking forward to my real dog anymore. because i would have to train, feed, wash, etc etc.PATHETIC! Imagine, that neopets would feature human babies to adopt(virtually). would i then be bored to have my own REAL babies just because i would have to feed, wash, raize them?I would eventually, because neopets makes it so easy!!! you let the pet/baby starve for months nad nothing happens. Is this was it taught to the children that play neopets? That you don't have to care when you are bored of feeding and grooming?PATHETIC!
I felt sooooooooooo disgusted with my wasted self.
there are people begging for a real pet and the law restricts it (cause of garden size, no garden or whatever...) or their parents or landlords don't want pets.
I WAS PATHETIC AND I CONSIDERED MY EDUCATED SORRY SELF AS A HIGH-CLASS EDUCATED WEALTHY MARRIED DOG TRAINER.
P A T H E T I C !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I WAS A NEOPET SUCKER/ABUSED ONE/SPAT ON ONE/LOOKING FOR FAME IN A NON EXISTING COMMUNITY. I CONSIDERED MYSELF DOWNGRADED BECAUSE I COULD NOT BECOME FAMOUS ON A NON EXISTING PLACE!
I DID NOT EVEN SELL EVERYTHING OFF YO OTHERS. NAY!
I ASKED THE STAFF TO TERMINATE MY ACCOUNT DUE TO SERIOUS ADDICTION PROBLEMS TO THE GAME,AND IF THEY WOULD NOT DO SO IN TIME I WOULD SCAM MYSELF OUT TO GAIN FREEDOM. I ACTUALLY WROTE THIS AND FELT SOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOD. THE SAME NIGHT I WENT OUT WITH MY HUSBAND AND HAD THE GREATEST TIME IN MONTHS.(TALK ABOUT CONFIDENCE GAIN IN A MATTER OF SECONDS!!!)
WELL, GUESS WHAT? THEY DID NOT ANSWER FOR 7 DAYS. AND I FOUND THE FIRST CHEAP SCAM ON THE INTERNET AND EVEN SENT AN WARNING EMAIL TO NEOPETS THAT I WOULD DO SO IN 5 MINUTES.
GUESS WHAT THEY FROZE MY ACCOUNT AFTER 3 DAYS!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE SO PATHETIC TOO!!!!!! :)
IT IS HARD AND SHAMEFULL TO SAY IT BUT YES I WAS A NEOPET SUCKER FOR 45 MONTHS.
I QUIT! I QUIT! I QUIT!
I BECAME SOCIAL AGAIN.
I RETURNED TO MY ARTWORK AGAIN (YES I PAINT).
MY RELATIONSHIP WITH FAMILY IS BETTER THAT EVER BEFORE!
MY LOVE LIFE IS BETTER THAN EVER BEFORE.
MY KENNEL HAS A PAIR OF WELL TRAINED DOBERMAN PINCHERS NOW THAT HAVE ALREADY WON
AWARDS IN AGILITY CONTESTS.
THIS IS A REAL LIFE.
