Happy Sunday, everyone! What have you readers done this lovely day? Me, well, I’m still getting over that nasty bout of pneumonia. >.< Therefore I spend most of my day indoors. Although I had some friends over this afternoon (I’m not contageous, I just have to stay home to recooperate), I was forbidden from leaving the neighborhood and/or performing strenous activities, so a good deal of my day was spent on the computer spamming the Neopets chat board.
I know it’s very immature to spam chat boards. After all, spam is annoying, pointless, and just plain stupid if you really think about it. But that doesn’t stop me! For those who don’t know, Neopets is an online gaming site aimed more at the preteen crowd. I was hopelessly obsessed with the website until I was about thirteen, mainly because of the aforementioned chatboard (technically you have to be thirteen to use it, but I lied about my age). It turns out the “Neoboards” are mainly populated by bored teenagers who take the game way, WAY too seriously. Who knew, right? I didn’t realize until much later that I could have some fun with them.
Fast forward to summer of 2009. I’m stuck up at our lakehouse and there really isn’t much to do. Therefore, I set up a fake Neopets account and started posting joke messages on the Neoboards to get the reactions. Nowadays, if I get really, REALLY bored, I’ll log on again and mess with the unsuspecting board-goers. This is precisely how I amused myself these past few days, stricken with pneomonia and unable to leave the house. Sure, I probably could’ve found a better use for my time, but this is WAY more fun. I mean, who doesn’t get a good laugh out of board titles such as “I AM FRAN DRESCHER”, “Uncle Lou watches me while I sleep- should I be concerned?”, and “Charles Shaughnessy is the most gorgeous human being ever to grace us with his prescence”? Uh, probably not a lot of people. But I do, and that’s what matters.
That’s not to say I’m particularly proud of this. After all, not a lot of normal teenagers find their fun in annoying the online community of Neopets. It’s funny, yes, but probably not a good use of my time. I still do it, though! So here’s my question: what do you do online that you don’t really like admitting? Do you subsribe to Miley Cyrus’s YouTube or obsessively Google Rick Astley? It’s okay, we’re a non-judgemental bunch here. You can tell us!
Loving the new layout Cocoa <3
Messing with chat boards that have no significance IS indeed rather fun and yes, sadly, not productive, albeit very amusing.
Nope. I have never or will never EVER check/subscribe to Miley Cryus seeing as she kills kittens. LOL @RickAstley. nope. Sadly, I don't.
your new camera is AWESOME.

new camera is fantastic, never done the chat room thing instead i follow a bunch of celebs on twitter and youtube! However Miley Cyrus is not yet one of them, due to the fact she doesn’t update that often!
feeling better??
