Neopets Rant
by Kim
Nice. xD TNT banned intercourse, because I was screwing around with my friends and said, 'hot sweaty intercourse' and was suspended in a heartbeat. TNT also won't let you say lmfao, yet lmao is fine. And now to the rant xP And, they'll freeze you in a heartbeat if you put a Slipknot song on your lookup.
I am a fellow Neopets player, yet I haven't quit yet. I'm not addicted, as I can drop Neopets to go hang out with my friends, and not be worried about it.
But in a way I am, as I've been frozen 4 times, and came back. Currently I'm on my 5th time with an account, and if this one gets frozen I'll quit. Also, I've bought Premium, mostly because the ads TNT was putting on their pages gave me Spyware. x..x;
Yet, shouldn't have the Spyware thing drove me away? I kept playing. I've moved on to graphics, which is partly why I've stayed, but I have great internet friends, that keep me coming.
I'm not going to lie, the best friends I've ever had, or that really are true, are my internet friends. I'm not sure if it's the thing of being behind a screen, yet I could trust them with a secret more than my real friends.
You see, last year I almost repeated a grade, because of Neopets. I came home, and right away, went on the computer. I ignored my Math, and my History. Because of that I nearly failed, just creeping by with Ds - low Ds. Now I regret joining, so much. Because of last year my teachers look down upon me. They think I am really stupid. But no, it's because of Neopets. I may have
jeopardized getting my high school diploma, as I probably didn't get enough History credits, getting two Fs every other quarter.
When my friend's came to my door, I'd make some lame excuse why I didn't want to go outside. 'I don't feel good', 'My show is on'. I drifted away from them. Now I'm back, and my relationships are stronger.
I'm a smart person. Well, I can be at times. I'd rather not spend the rest of my life, sitting at a Neopian shop, trying to make a fake currency. And that's why I've moved on to programs. Autobuyers are a person's dream. They've kept me away from neopets, seeing I can leave it on for hours, come back, and not worry about wasting my life away refreshing.
People don't like them, calling them pathetic lazy people and shit. But think this, I'm not the one that's wasting my fucking life away earning something that won't help me earn my GED. And I've noticed, all the people that say it, are the ones that are addicted to Neopets.
Pet selling is a good alternative as well. Why make 2.8 mill for a Plushie PB, when you can get something you want at a /fraction/ of the price?
You've given me close friends, failing grades, graphics experience, and a place to go to when I'm bored.
Yet I still have to say, F*** you Neopets.
