If it were not for Neopets...
~ I wouldn't be the good writer every one says I am.
~ I wouldn't have so many friends.
~ My art skills would be even more horrible then they are.
~ I would not be as happy as I am right now.
~ I would not have a website ~ I wouldn't know anything about Java, HTML, CSS, or any of that.
~ My grammer and spelling would be wrose then thay are right now.
~ I would be bored all the time. ~ I would NOT have ANY idea what RP'ing is. ~ I wouldn't know all these great people!
*Hugs a random NTWFer*
Mahalo, Neopets!!!!!!

If I had never went on Neopets......... - I'd have 35 less buddies on my Buddy List. + I'd have higher grades. + I wouldn't be made fun of (in a joking way) by one of my best friends. - I wouldn't have the 12 merchandise items I have now. + I wouldn't have had to pay for the 12 merchandise items I have now. (Actually, I got them for free ) So, I have mixed feelings.....

It got me to writing. I also learnt to draw through neopets oekakis. I learned HTML for petpages. AND, it got me to this forum! So it can't be too bad, eh?

Ooh, another thing I recently noticed--I've learned to subtract more quickly ^^; I like having nice, even numbers in my bank account, but my interest is never a nice, even number. So, whenever I deposit my NP (generally every time I end up with 5K out), I subtract the amount of the interest I've earned since my last deposit so that it'll be nice and even. It got a bit old running for my calculator every single time, so now I've gotten somewhat less dependant on my calculator

1. I now like writing a lot more. I did write a few stories when I was younger, but now I'm considering writing a book.
2. I made a lot of friends online, and I have more respect for others who also have friends online.
3. It gave me something to do.
4. I now have something over my sister whenever she brags or whatever (Sure she wrote a few stories, but the ideas were really taken from other books)
5. My writing has improved a bit (I learned to correct some mistakes I made)

Hmm...
- I've gotten a good mess of buddies... And I finally got an AIM SN o.o;
- I've gone online a lot more...
- My grade wouldn't have dropped a bit in 5th grade...
- I would have never met all the great people =3
- I might have been a bad artist for the rest of my life @_@ Not like that has changed -cough-
- I would have never been successful in writing (you should see my "earlier" stories... like my 2nd grade stories @_@)
- My folder would still have a lot of space...
- I wouldn't be interested in Calvin and Hobbes =3
So, Neopets has changed my life a lot ^_^

let me think...
-Well my drawings on Ms paint have improved for one thing after joining.
-the nt for one thing. that thing is important. those series and short stories get me going sometimes.
-few friends. not too much, but still.
-Before joining I didn't even know what css was.
Guess that's it. I already knew html before I got a computer(the school taught it) and when we finally did get a computer I buried my face in the 1-2 inch instruction manual for windows/Dos in it so Neo has nothing to do with those 2 things though.
I think it has made me more crazy waiting for the nt.

Wow!
So many responses.. I haven't visited here in a while. It's nice to see what people get out of playing on the site, as I've said before, and I hope I continue to recieve some sort of improvement or advantages in the future.

- I learned HTML. My dad had ALWAYS been trying to teach me various computer skills, but I'd never been interested. Then one day, I decide I want to make a petpage and BAM! I learn HTML on my own.
-I am more comfortable with change. Guilds broke me of my habit of going into hysterics everytime the slightest little thing changed. I don't think I would have been able to survive my parent's break up if it weren't for this.
- My writing skills have improved, though I was a far-better-than-average writer to begin with.
-I've learned some humility. As good of a writer as I am, many of you are only slightly older than me but WAY better.
-My social skills have improved, though not as much as would be desirable.
-I'm not constantly bored.
-I am no longer afraid to act goofy. I have MUCH more fun now.

Neopets has done several things for me. First, it's given me something fun to do. Second, it's helped me to hone my skills on the computer. Third, it's made me a lot happier overall! Thank you, Neopets!

Let's see, Neopets, and the ever-wonderful NTWF...
Well, for one thing, my art skill (what skill?) has vastly improved, just by looking at everything everybody has done- art contest, popularity contest, and of course, O Great and Wonderful Supreme NT.
I've written more because I have had a reason to write more and great friends to help me through writer's block **hugs everybody everywhere who has ever posted here**
Let me be insane! Solar-powered cheese!
Has let me find more friends, and work on my first collabs ever (thanks Stone and TPP! ;D)
Got me published for the second time ever. (Once, my drawing of a turtle was published in Spider magazine, either the January 1999 or January 2000 issue.)
