I don't know how to code!!

Helen's Page a.k.a. Aposiopisis's NANO Page Hello guest, There are several reasons that I am using a Neopets page, so hear me out. I know the rep of this site and it's not totally deserved. Only read above the cartoon wolves if you're from NaNoWriMo or morbidly curious, and only read below the lupe photos if you're from Neo or morbidly curious. Fire and Ice Unike most of my peers, I really enjoy reading. I like the classics; Shakespeare, Dickens, Emerson, Poe, C.S. Lewis, Lewis Carroll, etc., But I also enjoy more modern literature; usually scifi or fantasy. Before you ask: I had a slight obsession with the HP books and am still interested in any discussion or debate concerning same that is thrown my way, The Twilight series was better than average, but I don't think it was worth all the fuss it got; I think that a lot of Harry fans needed a new thing to latch onto, and they went for the first decent fantasy book available, and I'm not going to list a favorite book because I don't want to dishonor other very loved books by putting them in 2nd and 3rd.

The whole page isn't devoted to neopets, just this section and the stuff under the pictures of the cartoon wolf looking thing. Neopets was originally created for college students, so the whole it's a kid's site thing doesn't really fly. I'll admit, the cartoons on virtually every page and starry yellow background do seem to imply that it's intended for ten year old girls with too much time and too little to do, and the original purpose of something can definitely change, but I was introduced to the site by a boy, so it's not 100% true. The annoying adds (luckily they aren't on this page) on most Neopets pages are easily blocked by Firefox if you have addblock installed. Most other websites anyway have adds anyway. I'll admit, the site is definitely designed to be addictive and appealing to a younger audience than before, but there are aspects of Neo for just about everyone; including difficult puzzles, many weekly competitions, battles, plots, a huge game arcade, forums full of fanatics(just about every kind except political and religious), and of course, the Neopets themselves. But that's not really the reason I chose Neo over Face Book for this; the biggest reason is that I can really do with out X rated content and/or harassment while trying to have fun, and this site stays extremely clean. For a fun, free, and clean site I can definitely put up with somebody telling me that I'm on a kid's site. So, if you have the time to write a novel; why not try out Neopets and see if it's really all that repulsive, just click on the orange "neopets click here" button and make sure your spam filter lets Neopets send their first and last e-mail. James was not very smart, hansom, athletic, or in any other way distinctive, even his name was average, but you can't have everything. He knew he wasn't the brightest, but it didn't really bother him, there are plenty worse things than making a C average. What he lacked in brain power he more than made up for in good-will. He had a strong, if naïve, belief in how things ought to be. To his mind it made no sense to lock up a bunch of people on an island just because they were different, and the obvious conclusion that he came to was that he aught to stop it. However, unlike the few 'normal humans' who agreed with him, he could do something about it. James didn't know it, but he really wasn't normal, despite his average height, average weight, average brown hair cut to the average length, average brown eyes, slightly crooked teeth that could not be called unusual, and /slightly/ smaller than normal ears. For all fifteen years of his rather comfortable life he had simply thought that he was just one of those people that people liked, so, when he told the guy with the British accent who had answered the phone that he was an Abnormal, James was completely unaware that he wasn't lying. He had seen the article in the newspaper about a new 'Multigenerational Educational Facility for Abnormals' and had over heard one jackass tell another that it was a good thing that they were finally penning up the freaks on an island away from real people, and he decided that the someone to put a stop to this was obviously James D. Patrickson III. The guy on the phone told him that he'd send an agent out to interview him to make sure that he qualified and assured him that it was "the right thing to do", whatever that was supposed to mean. He had assured his parents that this was definitely what he wanted to do, that it was not just for Abnormals, and that it would be a great thing to put on a resume; of course they believed him. On this particular day, it was a blistering hot Thursday, he was waiting for the agent that the British guy had told him would be coming. He watched the gray asphalt, the yellow grass in his small yard, the withering flowers in his neighbor's yard, and then tried to decide whether the fake flamingo's in an old lady's yard were melting. He had just come to the conclusion that one was definitely listing to the left a little when a silver bus with tinted windows whined to a stop at the corner of Market and Oak and then huffed up to his house. He couldn't see inside, but a serious looking man in a suit and tie with a black suitcase proceeded to marched to his front door and rapped it three times on it as though his hand were a hammer and the door a nail. James had already unstuck his sweaty arm from the fake leather of the couch and was at the door before the first knock. Grinning broadly, he opened the door and welcomed the stranger in.

Most of my online time is split between Neopets and FreeRice.org (pleeease go visit free rice!). I occasionally visit NaNoWriMo when it isn't November and I do try to check my e-mails more often than I used to, but other than that I'll either be checking checking out my library's catalog or playing Tom Lehrer/Numa Numa/whatever my obsessive little sister is forcing me to watch on you tube. (I'm not that into surfing without a purpose). Would you like to know more about, me? That's rather stalkerish... you should Neomail me (this would require you to make a Neopets account by clicking the orange "neopets click here" sign) if you want a quick reply, or NaNoMailimg me if you don't. p.s. I have a strange sense of humor and it would probably benefit all involved if you just disregard any comments that are a result of this.

This probably pertains to you....

If you know me and want to e/neo/nano-mail me read this!

I will post a notice here when I will not be on the net for a while, this may be because I have to work, study, go out of state, am just too busy, am abducted by aliens, want some sanity time, or something else. I usually spend a lot less time on the web during the work week.

Read this first!

I belong to a very nice guild that you are free to join if you ask the leader's permission, but I'm not currently interested in any invites. I like my neofriends and hope they like me, but I don't think I've ever seen any of them use chatspeak, this is for a very good reason. *hint hint* I'll probably accept most requests on Neo if they're phrased politely and in proper English, but I may ask for something in return if it's a big favor. I like most things on Neopets; contests, plots, games, avvies, rp, trophies, learning about CSS/HTML, multilayer games, battling, you name it, I probably enjoy it! If you want me to read/reply to a neomail and I don't know you already set the subject to 'tcejbus', I put this in the middle just so that you had to read the whole thing. Okay, now I don't have anything else to say, but hey, that doesn't mean I'm not going to say something anyway! Now go feed your pets!!!(real/virtual/other/sibling)
