Happy Birthday to me! As usual, my guildies spoiled me with a shower of gifts. Cassiopeia is the bestest!
Bitter attempted to 'prime' the myriad this year, and it seems to have helped, I got a Spring Petpet and a Dung Petpet Paintbrush from my 41 nerkmids (=
IRL, the fam spoiled me again, B actually spent his own money on me, to buy me a purse, and Fi used her money to pay for the matching wallet! A made me a coupon book, which has come in handy a few times already, hehe; along with a silicone food warming mat... This mama bear doesn't like cold porridge. D got me the Monopoly Knockout game for my collection.
Hubs went overboard with both effort and money, a personal 'hot tub' in our downstairs bathroom since we had to sell our real one earlier this year. (he also bought the BD TCG Uni, Acara, AND Booster box!!) Then he relieved me of a lot of my duties for a long weekend, and I got to 'not adult' for almost a week. (he did meal planning, chores, AND homeschooling!!)

May222024

ya baby! 350 avatars!
Dragox has also hit 500 for each stat except level!
(Hubs bought me the BD TCG ComicCon set!!)

Mar252024

Hey hey, my account is old enough to drive now! Sweet 16 Neoversary to me!
So much has changed in my life since I started this account. Glad to have been part of the Neocommunity this long, it has def been a trip.

Jan12024

Advent Calendar was FIRE!
Got the last stamp I needed for the Snowy Valley album avatar, a Snow Kad, another new petpetpet, the 50m Ice Hissi MP, a snowickle, 8-Bit Potion.... and a ♪♫ plot themed preview ♩♬

Dec252023

Merry Christmas!
May your holiday be blessed and bright!

Nov72023

Happy Birthday to me! Thank you for the gifties my friendos ♥
As usual, tried a Nerk run, nothing too exciting, only got a Swamp Gas PB, lol. The rest of it was gross food. I think the Aisha's behind the Myriad know I don't like them...
IRL, hubs spoiled me majorly. He found a WYP Silver Shoyru Necklace for cheap! All the kids had picked out pins for me, and he bought a set of the Geekify NP coins, a golden rose, the UpperDeck TCG CC cards (and Avatar!), and so many things. Britt sent me balloons and GF cupcakes ♡ ❤ ♡

Oct312023

Faerie Festival was CRAZY this year! FFQ-palooza.
Added a ton of cuties, thanks to hubs and my sister being willing to 'foster' for me until we get more slots or allowed accounts.

Also, curious to see how the new Quest log plays out; right now it's a much needed QoL improvement for the newer/less established players. Although I am personally a little torn on this method for tackling the game economy, as it's mostly just mass deflating certian items over actually fixing the in-game mechanics for item availabliity and what not.

Sept92023

New color for Draiks this year is STEAMPUNK! Drashle, the living rag doll now resides on turmmeric (sorry Draikeira!)

Also was gifted an 8Bit potion, so the ONLY color I am missing in Draiks is Burlap. A few Cassians are zapping with me hoping we get the color.

July172023

Happy anniversary to hubs and me! 21 years together ♥
It was announced Neopets would be under new ownership through Neopets World of Neopia, Inc. (not affiliated with Jumpstart or NetDragon), under CEO Dominic Law (the prior head of the Neopets Metaverse project)!

May82023

Apparently I am bored... TNT please do something more than a click & read =/
Changed out Draipheus, and replaced with Draikele.
Also finally finished changing everyone out of winter customs... in May... yea. Break up is here; and we have some flooding going on from all the snow melt :screams:

April62023

I got the random itch to change things up; so adopted out Draomis, and adopted Draskula to replace her. Also changed up Izzibel some, as Sunny came back and wanted that character back. draconiac1 finally got his grumblebug!

Mar252023

Happy 15^th Neoversary to me! Annual account CSS overhaul!
Hubby snuck in and renewed my premium when it was supposed to expire in December and didn't tell me until after it had charged again, so I guess have another year of it.

Nov072022

Happy Birthday to me! Annual page update & tweakings!
So, in other news.... I've cancelled my premium, probably for good this time. I am so disappointed in the way the site is being run into the ground, I can't support them anymore. As far as BF GBCs go, IDK if I will be buying them this year. (or ever again). ND/JS, please do better.

Aug242022

So um... apparently I am not trading Hydro up for another hissi anymore... cause I got Plooshiy, and he's staying forever.

Jun222022

Been working on updating pages and CSS all across the Dynasty, and today was this page's turn; and I tweaked a few things. Made all the pet images smaller, added the ＇Rose Pet＇ section, and a toybox for Mary herself. I've recently finished sesamme, and chipotleh; in additon to my main's pet CSS codes. Also made up a custom petpage for each character down the road. Have a ＇Neo-DEX＇ all pet listing in the works that will bring all the adopts, art, characters, ref-sheets and more into one easy to view page. Trying to work on at least one ＇card＇ each month.

May172022

Up to no good; as usual. Fell in love with a pet I'd been avoiding, so had to work up for him. I made an untaken RW from Kate's list, which I traded for a vwned t2, and then Bitter (who had traded for Slove, so he wouldn't be permied while I was trading up) accepted that offer, and Dragons_love came to live here with the rest of the dragon dynasty ♥

Apr242022

Gave Zax to my son, and traded a custom for Zioet! Now Zeoti has a perfect mirror image! Thank you so much for your patience Kayla!
Still working on profiles; but making progress with pet lookups. Will probably tackle the character directory after those are done, hoping to spend less time each newbie's profile. Already made each name graphic, so just need to do some basic info and track an adoptable for each one.

Mar072022

Finally got around to editing this and updating it with the EIGHTY ONE pets I now own! Crazy. Dust is settling, and they all have their main customisations done. Working on petprofiles, and petpets, then character workups, and pages.
I've managed to get all of the draik colors that I like, and some I tolerate; there are 4 left; and I don't have that many slots, lol.

Feb022022

Bitter is an amazing person. A good hooman. But she needs to stop making me cry, lol. Today she swapped sonixx_xxxxxxx for Solnitoe. My Skeef fam is complete.
Things are calming down after slot insanity, and I have made and painted most of the characters I'd had floating around in my head for the last two years.

Dec202021

PET SLOTS!!!!!!!! Definitely got max slots on all 5 accounts. Major update to pet listing below.

Dec102021

Bitter is an amazing person. A good hooman.
I know that's how I started the last update, but it is just worth repeating. I had been working with someone to get Shy, and they traded her out from under me; and Bitter went and offered one of her pets to nameswap for Geni, so now I have Shy, who I'd been chasing off and on since February. I am so lucky to be friends with such a kind hearted and wholesome person, who matches my wierd. Online friends can be better than IRL BFFs.
Welcome home Shyraea, I am so glad to add you to the Dragon Dynasty. ♥

Dec022021

Bitter is an amazing person. A good hooman. Thank you for soni ♥
Went ahead and canceled the BLATHERSKITE project, going to have a Zevil&Zangel instead.
It's been a busy month, spent a lot of Nov writing for NANOWRIMO, and now attempting Doodlecember. Added an art page, and moved the avatar/goal page. (might move avatars&goals back to this page, idk.)

Nov72021

Finished another trip around the sun; thank you to everyone that went around with me ♥
One of the things that my amazing tribe gifted me this year was art; and now I have a cute chibi of me and 3 of my pets to use everywhere, thank you Kate!
I managed to add THREE UCs to the fam this year, which means that a few of my Draiks are hanging out with hubs and sis (thanks guys!)

Sept42021

I've more or less been on hiatus since May, not happy with TNT and their money milking attitude. Excited about pet slots and re-UCs are on the way; but withholding judgement to see how things play out, since beta customisation is *STILL* broken after being forced on the site last December.
Figured I should update, since I swapped Tylin for Foli, and made Feli to go with him.

Mar122021

I've worked on at least a dozen different layouts and themes for this page. And I think I am going with this one. I had planned for it to be updated around my DOB back in Nov; but that didn't happen. So, here we are.

Moved Avatars to it's own page. Working on updating the Dragon Diagram, I think I finally nailed down a layout for that. dragoNET got a face lift earlier this year, but it's not completely done. Finally worked on Rella's page, although, it too, is not done. Noticing a theme here... hmmm...

Feb102019

Decided to combine 3 petpages into this one; might have been a bad idea with how long this is now... But yay for updating and hopefully simplifying. Also looking for the creator of the code in my goal tracker section, as I can't remember where I got it from to credit it.

Nov142018

Just celebrated a DOB last week, yay! Updated some goals, worked on the achievements section a tiny bit, updated the avatar section partially.

Apr012018

Did some formatting to the avatar sections, added a few links and removed broken ones. Added the fam's links to the flower garden.

FEB132018

Finally achieved 300 avatars yesterday! Also added links for my personal pages in the sitely section, like Screenies, Lookbook, Wishlist, etc.
OH! And since it's now 2018, I changed the trending section too.

JAN262018

Opened Dead Designs, Mobile User Dailies, and Spud sites this month. also working on finally getting the Dragon Directory going!

Nov072017

Added in the avatar section, scoreboard section, and cleaned up the bookmarks. Lots of work done that was waaaay overdue.

SEP262017

Oops. Just realized that I had never added the linkback buttons I'd made ages ago. They are in the sitely section if you think you'd use them.

JUN182017

Finally finished Marys cross-painting journey. She is a Pirate/RG/MI/Hallo/Desert/Stealth/ Faerie Krawk.
Estimated cost: 19,400,000 NP

MAR72017

Oh hey, I am playing again. I um... need to change some stuff, as I traded away all my pets save Draiqh and Mary and now just have dragons. Already a few of my former pixels have been frozen or changed ):

MAY172016

Updated the layout again. (this layout is the combination of several of tkm's offerings, as apparently I can't let stuff alone.)
Added quite a bit of former content and backdated stuff too.

DEC072014

Happy 3rd Anniversary Avatarable!
Avatarable has died, the majority of us have stopped playing altogether, and the way the site is being managed it's no surprise.

DEC072013

Happy 2nd Anniversary Avatarable!
The Avatarable Summit is in full swing; please stop by and vote! The Pet Parade will be running until the 15th, view the pets and choose your favorite.

MAY102013

Due today with the 2nd member of our family, so I imagine I won't be online much, as my real life babies are quite demanding of my time, and to be honest I haven't been overly thrilled with Neo lately anyways.

May072013

Recieved our first random user transfer request. Some yoyo was trying to trade Eiriarp for a Mara Eyrie. o.O

DEC072012

Avatarable turns 1!
We have a few fun activites going on and lots and lots of lending happening.

Apri282012

I got my main account back!!

Dec072011

Paralyzing and Avatarapalooza are merging into one entity called Avatarable; and it's epic. The entire guild is based around account improvement and avatar lending.

Oct102011

My main, rosemmary, has been frozen, TNT thinks that I was buying nps; but I've just had a string of nice neopians. I guess someone wasn't legit ):

DEC072010

I just helped launch a new guild with my new friends Luna and Ghost. It's called Paralyzing, focused on chatting, friends, and pet adoption; and you should check it out.

Nov072010

Avatarapalooza, my one woman show avatar lending agency, founded and initialized. End goal is to lend every item and pet up to BGC.

Jul272009

Boochi found us today! My Spacestation brown Grundo is now baby. Glad he missed everyone else!

Apr082009

Just painted my first pet since restarting; Ristra is now a fire blumaroo and she has a matching fire harris!

Mar252008

Had to start over as TNT decided to ice all of my accounts. Suspicion of cheating on flash games?

• I have a ton of food allergies & and intolerances
• I am obsessed with Monopoly
• I have dimples
• I was the only one for 2 generations that had them, but no my youngest two children also have dimples
• I love using my MAMBI Happy Planner & assorted other journals
• I detest makeup
• Being a Homeschooling Parent is hard
• I am undiagnosed OCD
• I own over 30 Monopoly variations
• I collect mini Christmas village buildings
• I am a perfectionist and extremely picky
• I probably have enough pens and pencils to outfit a village for years after the apocalypse

Happy Thoughts

My biggest love of neopets is all of the wonderful people whom I've met here over the years. Whether it's random, silly conversations, cheering each other on toward neo goals, or supporting each other through difficult times in our own little ways that we're able, some of the people I've met here have become very near and dear friends whom I cherish and appreciate to the fullest.

My hobbies:

Neo
(Coding/perfecting pages, chatting, customising, avatar collecting, building my bank account, Reading to Draiqh, Training Dragox & Rulinian, shop management, and dreaming up stuff with my dragons.)

IRL
(Homeschooling my kiddos, cooking, reading, creative journaling, CSS, HTML, blogging, photoshop, playing with our dogs, woodworking, sewing, beading, drawing, computer technology, + More)

Things I miss

• My old guilds (PbD, Daffodils, HK, LT, RUGs, and ***licious)
• Soroptimist and the heyday of neo-sites
• Habitarium
• When Neo had 10,000+ players online_
• Classic Neohomes
• The old Battledome
• The bd set I had stolen from my account

Hi! I'm Rose, and I like dragons. Any and all dragons. Their wings, scaly bodies, slit eyes, piercing claws, boop snouts, and fiery tempers. On Neopets, I was a fan of Draiks for the same reasons. Unconverted Draiks especially embody these quintessential dragon qualities, and I am drawn to them, well like a moth to a flame. My dragon-like pets currently number at 82 (all of my pets), and most of my pages are themed around them.

On site, I like to trade NC, dress up my scalies, chat on related social sites, and work on my characters and their pages. I for the most part prefer converted pets, as you can do so many things to make them unique. (Although, I do now own 7 UCs.) Thanks TNT for Styles, even if I still feel conflicted about the whole thing...

I was introduced to Neopets by my husband's coworker in 2006 when I was already in my mid-20s, so while I missed a lot of the early site, but I fall into the age group it was originally created for. In real life I am a homeschooling mama of 4 kiddos of my own, 3 of which also play, along with my hubs. in the Last Frontier state. We are very naturally minded, and love living in the middle of nowhere. Our winters are cold and harsh, so Neo makes a great escape.

Where do your usernames come from? 
I love to cook, so after my accounts were chain frozen, (pretty sure I deserved it, learned my lesson...) I decided to use spices to name my accounts. However all my names (with the exception of chipotleh) have names hidden within from the real world.

What's your name? -- 
On-site I answer to Rose. Is that my real name? No, but I've responded to it in real life XD
You don't need to know what name my Mommy gave me, unless I decide to have more contact with you outside of Neopia.

Can I have your ...  
No, just no. I worked hard for my pets. You should work hard for your own, too. None of my pets are up for trade either!

Wait a minute; YOU'RE AN ADULT! Why do you still play Neopets? 
In case you didn't know; Neopets was originally created by Adam and Donna, and they targeted the site to COLLEGE students. When I first joined the game, that's the age group I fell into. Although the site has changed a lot over the years, there is a large player base that are adults, and many many that are older than me.

Do you have kids?
Yup, one born in 2010, one in 2013, one in 2015, and the youngest in 2019 (:

Are you a neoMillionaire? 
Most of the time, yes. Does that give you the right to ask for my hard earned items? No. I prefer to gift to people that I think deserve it. And of course my pets are very spoiled; as they should be.

It says you were online for 211 hours, are you online that much???
No. My computer is and many times I am logged in for that long. I can assure you, I am NOT online that long.

If I neoMail you, will you NeoMail me back? 
Unless you're begging from me, then yes, I most likely will. Please keep in mind, I'm not on all the time. And when I am on, I'm not here "just to chat with you."

Will you be my NeoFriend? 
I prefer to keep my nf list short and sweet. Full of people I like and chat with often. Please don't be offended if you aren't on that list or in my garden to the left.

Why did you block me?! 
Probably due to a NeoMail that was uncalled for, a really bad/scammer offer on one of my trades, or you begged for something.

Can you make me-- 
No, sorry, I don't make buttons/banners/layouts/etc for other people. Unless of course I offer (;

Can you rate-- 
Nope. I do not rate. There is no absolute standard, only my personal feelings and opinions, and you'll probably think I'm snobby and picky.

Why did you make so many petpages? 
Because this is how I enjoy my Neopets. I like to create characters, collect avatars, look at pretty pets, talk about dragons and my pets. I also like to help people when I can. I learned a lot about html and CSS from doing so over my Neo-Career.

Can you teach me HTML/CSS? 
I'm self-taught in HTML/CSS, and I believe that anyone else can teach themselves, as well. Besides, I am a horrible teacher on-site.

Will you join my Guild? 
No, I'm rather happy with the one I am in; it's called Cassiopeia, you should check us out!

How many pets and accounts do you have? 
I have the allowed 5 accounts total, with 20 25 31 pets.
Hoping for more slots soon, as I have ideas up the wazoo...

Have my account! I don't play anymore! (or) Can I have your account?  
I will NOT take anyone else's account. I really don't care if you don't play anymore. Just leave your account there incase you decide to comeback. Or if you're trying to get TNT to freeze me, you're out of luck in that area.
I will not give my account away. Everything you see on my account is something I've worked towards having. You can get it by working on it.
If you neomail me anything that's too good to be true, it probably is. And I do report these things.
