Welcome @(you need an account to see links)!
Don't forget to check out Flordibel's fresh (you need an account to see links).
I see she already helped you with your (adorable) avatar, but it'll also help you set up some other options and get settled in quite nicely.
We can't do anything about the hot mess on Neopets but we try and make the experience over here as awesome as we can.
