I love you
(you need an account to see links)
You people. xD Seriously, though, that is brilliant. But how much work are you getting done?
How smart is that? I would have never thought
The other day, my coworker saw me on clraik, on my phone, and asked what the forum was about. Me having no shame, I told her Neopets, and she didn't even know what it is. Score one for me.
(Actually, her reaction went more like: "Neopets?" *blank stare and silence* "Is that like... Tamagotchi? No? Oh."
Hahaha. Neopets is like the exact opposite of Tamagotchi in a sense - on Neopets you can starve your pet forever if you wanted but if you forget to feed your Tamagotchi for like an hour it'll croak. But I'd gladly deal with responsibly feeding my pixel babies if it meant I didn't have to deal with squealing Neopians. Tamagotchi have such a quiet and pleasant lifestyle in comparison.
Hahaha, so true. The absolute most annoying thing when I mention to someone that I still play Neopets is, "OMG?! Neopets! I remember that. My pets are probably, like, dead now, right? *stupid laughter*
SHUT UP.
I actually became weirdly obsessed with Tamagotchi again in the ninth grade (I was 14). All of my friends thought I was completely ridiculous that on every break, I'd absolutely have to stop by my locker to feed/play/clean up after my Tamagotchi.
At least there's no Pound Chat with Tamagotchi.

That's not weird at all, I was obsessed with my Tamagotchi too! I had a friend who was more into her Pokemon Pikachu egg, but same deal really. It just so happens that there's actually a Tamagotchi app for android phones now, my sister sent me pics of her pet a few days ago. It's great, no more worrying about needing to change the battery in your egg. xD
Pshh. Ain't no one gonna report my rare first edition Tamagotchi for being stolen
Should've told her neopets is a pet trading community, where users in your local area trade pets.
You see kids with their pet goldfish uptrade all the way to an exotic rhesus monkey and the sorts.
After all, Neopets = "New Pets"
And there's a secret VIP section where people pit pets against each other in caged death matches for money betting.
