Hi there! Long-time Neopets user here. I play because I love writing stories and drawing pictures of my pets. Each of my four pets on my main has a very unique origin story; I hope to get their tales into the Times someday!

I used to love the game, but in-game inflation, an overabundance of cheating, and the money-grubbing/lack of caring by TNT landed me here. I want to enjoy the game again, and it seems like the old adage "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em" applies quite well at Neocodex. Therefore... here I am!

In real life, I'm a 20-something living in sunny Southern California. I'm a proud student of sociocultural anthropology at one of America's top public universities (not saying which!). I normally work as a web programmer for a living, but right now I'm doing cool stuff for a psychiatry lab -- I get to run MRIs on U.S. Marines and Navy SEALs and then analyze their brains!

I have two cats at home; they're both named after characters in my favorite books. My older one is fat and lazy, but he's very fast and incredibly smart -- I respect him almost as much as I do some people. The little one is a therapy cat! He goes to hospitals and cheers up the sick and the elderly. He's dumb as a box of rocks, but he's a sweet little guy.

I live with my boyfriend, who's an engineer. He thinks I'm a major dork for playing Neopets, but he plays Diablo III 4+ hours a day, so he can't poke too much fun!

I love reading, writing, drawing, night hiking, bouldering, swimming, traveling, and being sarcastic. Generally, I try to be a nice person.

Feel free to message me anytime! Until then, I leave you with photos of my two boys!
