What is the Difference
By The ex-Neopian
You think about it constantly and break into a sweat if you miss a day? What starts out as fun slowly swallows your life until you've lost your friends and all social skills. Your eyes bug out and start to become very unhealthy! Now what does this sound like?
Alcohol? Pot or some other drug? No it’s the slow addiction that is consuming children that don’t have the money to buy
pot. It is actually scary how you can describe the addiction of pot and say Hmmm is that
ecstasy or neopets? Scary I know! Well here is my story.
I started out a Normal Neopian thinking WoW 1,000 neo-points!! I slowly started getting into the swing of things making a 10k a day and I painted my first pet baby a Shoyru, then a Kau went baby and then I got a spotted Gelert. I started earning more and more and more. I was consumed. I suddenly realized how much time I was spending on Neopets. When it was hard for me to go feed my horses or when I would blow off one of my friends to get the new item in the Advent Calendar! I supported Neopets with every fiber of my being. I even found a Usuki paint brush mysteriously without anyone giving it to me or anything. Everything was happy and fine in my little world.
You know the saying "Ignorance is Bliss". Well I was on the boards one day and went on this website. I became skeptical and made one little comment "Maybe Neopets isn't what it used to be". I lost my account on May 4, 2005. The reason? None they don’t know why I lost my prized account with a faerie Draik and a baby kau etc. All the Neo-addicts dream pet. I begged an pleaded TNT to give me my account back. The truth was my life was dependant on Neopets. Like a drug or some Beer I was avoiding my wreck of a life. recently in my life my Grandmother was injured and had to come live with us, but I also have a mentally-disabled Aunt who is very sweet and doesn't mean to be rude insulting or just plain annoying but I am an only child never had to share a room. I never knew how to deal with her.
Anyway I lost my room in result and was moved into the guest room losing my nice spacious room walk in closet and view of my horse! Anyway I was happy on Neopets avoiding my life. So I was thrown back into my life without a warning. So then I regained my life most of my friends and started to dislike Neopets with a passion (Since Hatred is one of the seven deadly sins). My friend who is still heavily addicted spends all weekend on the computer sleeping for about 5 hours and spends the rest of her time on Neopets. I e-mailed them heavily for 4 months mostly annoying Adam (ha ha ha ha ha REVENGE) anyway he actually answered (after receiving about 102 e-mails exactly from me everyday for 4 months). He replied in a long drone out way that he's a stuck up bastard that could care less about my problems and the bottom line he was saying is "YOUR SCREWED". Upsetting I know. I later created another account and gave him grief!!! Ha ha ha ha ha! Like the other expression "don’t get mad get even and cause the evil bastard a crap-load of stress". I was finally satisfied once he froze 72 of my accounts and asked me to permanently stay away from neopets.
Anyway my message is don’t start, if you have quit. Stay away. Neo means NEW these New pets are anything but. They are addicting and its TNT who is the real culprit. I have been of Neopets for 3 months. Now compare that to this "I have been off of Weed for 4 months and 12 days" taken from an anti-drug website Pretty similar I know so be smart and don’t do drugs alcohol or Neopets I AM ABOVE THE INFLUENCE are you?
