If you look up my account on Neopets, moonseedtwayblade, at the time of writing this the cute little plaque with the Flotsam on it will tell you that Ive been a member for one week. This is not entirely accurate. The account, yes, is about one week old (actually, now I think its over a week old), but I have been a member of Neopia for much longer than a week. To explain, its probably best that I start from the beginning.
I believe it was about five or six years ago that I first discovered the wonderful world of Neopets. At that time, Terror Mountain was freshly discovered and the Grarrl had just gone through a makeover, as I recall it anyway (and my memory is rather fuzzy). The site had come up as a pop-up ad. I thought it was cute. I joined, and I adopted a few pets, and I played for a few weeks, maybe a month. I wasnt serious about it, though. Not then.
