I always feel so silly posting an intro on message boards... it's more my style to read, soak information, get to know the community a little before slipping unobtrusively into threads where I feel I actually have something worthwhile to add. But, activity is (rightfully) demanded =) so I figure I really ought to break the ice.

So, hi. I'm Ame. I'm a gamer through and through. WoW is my full-time baby but since my vid card hates me right now I'm reduced to grinding Loremaster one choppy, lag-ridden zone at a time, and in the midst of a 1-fps-nerd-rage I recalled the lag-free simplicity of Neo's flash games. I'm probably too old to be on Neopets anymore, but I've kept my account for-bloody-ever and periodically I pop in to see what's new and annoy the people stalking my pet names hoping for a purge. Usually, the only thing I find is more and more advertising but this time I found the Habitarium... sooooooooo it looks like I'm gonna be here a while. >.> And if that's the case... well I'd like to actually make some money this time around (never having had much patience for restocking by hand) so I went looking and I found: you!

I'm in my late 20s, I'm married, I'm enjoying the summer break before my second year of grad school, I'm going to be a mother before the year is out O.o and I hate trying to work my way into established social circles. So please forgive me if I am quiet, I'm new to this scene and don't much care to look a fool so I'll probably spend more time reading than talking.

Whew. That was a lot of talking. D=

Nice to meet you all! =)

Hi, Ame. I think quite a lot of Neocodex members are older than the average (I'm in my early twenties), so don't worry about being too old for Neopets. What're you studying in grad school?

We need more people who know how to read and who actually comprehend what they read, so it's a pleasure to have you with us.

Thanks. =)

Social work! I'll get my LCSW and go into private practice for family/marital therapy. Possibly also work with undereducated/impoverished families if I can get the credentials to teach basic financial literacy, goal-setting, life skills, that sorta thing - I'll be in a relatively rural area so lots of opportunity for that sort of work, although not much income for it. >.<
