My name's Amy, I'm abarriger on neopets and I've been using the ppt website for some time (for podcasts and game guides) but I only just thought recently to check out the forum, since the people on the podcast always talk about them.
As far as neopets go, I've been playing for a long time: I believe I started about 7 years ago. They were really new then, and small, and everything was cheap but I was poor. Anyway, I honestly can't find that account: all I remember about it is that the username had "chessie" and a number in it. I was pretty sure it was a two digit number, but one day I typed in chessie followed by EVERY two digit number and I didn't find it, so I gave up. Theres a good chance it was frozen anyway: I was so bad I'm a little embarassed to admit it. This was before you had to activate accounts so I signed up for 100 or so accounts using the refer program and then I transferred all the np back to my main account (s) . I was a horrible person.
I've recently returned and I got a new account, and I only use the one account ever, I never break the rules, I am very careful not to, and I like to think of the mistakes in my past as a different person's mistakes: I've changed alot since then and I'm very sorry for doing what I did.
Outside of neopets, I'm a 17 year old HS senior, recently accepted to Cornell University with a planned double major, animal sci and bio. MY primary interest is ornithology/ avian medicine, I'm hoping to someday be an avian vet or a research ornithologist. Anyway, thats me in a nutshell! Hope to get to know you all better.

AVIAN?!? Don't give me bird flu.
Err, ignorant bias aside, welcome to the forums, Amy.

Very funny :-p I have a cold this week (a very non-zoonotic cold) and everyone in school who hears me cough can't resist squawking (pardon the awful pun) "BIRD FLU BIRD FLU!" Which I just love, let me tell you.

Oh, you don't know the meaning of "awful pun" until you've met shapu.

A bad pun is one that is circular. You know, an O-pun. Yep. I went there.
Welcome to PPT. As for me in a nutshell, it goes something like this: 'Help! I'm stuck in a giant nutshell!' Don't worry. Tested and I are not the only sane ones here. All of the other greeters are. The crazies are everyone else on the site. Hope you have fun here.
Hands our mochi and taiyaki.

Thanks for the advice
I literally laughed out loud at the nutshell thing.

Welcome to the PPT forums Amy! Congratulations on your acceptance to Cornell! It's a fantastic school, especially for the fields you're interested in. I wish you good luck. Don't mind the "nutty" members that have posted already...We're all a bit odd at least once in a while. I hope you enjoy spending time here and meeting new people. If you ever have any questions, feel free to send me a PM or look for any other staff member (look for the orange, dark blue, or red stars). Have fun!

BIRD FLU BIRD FLU!
J/k lol.
I am totally normal, unlike the majority of members here. Stay away from Christopher and his giant sharpener. The forum is a nice place to be, and I hope you have fun here! Thanks for joining!

And if you don't like brownies then:
*Hands out an expired coupon book I found in the trash*
