Interesting… I can see some echoes of that in Reach's Committee of Minds for Security. I don't think that ever really went anywhere, though.

Yeah, the temptation to go back comes to me every now and again, but I always get kinda worn out by it - my original account was really good, so not having all the stamps, paintbrushes, fairies, etc that I did just makes me really bitter and I lose interest XD and having to redo my Neopets websites... pass
Aww, I remember the Grundos - mostly remember wanting one really bad for a while and not being able to get one, so I settled for a yellow jelly... thing.

Yeah, you're not really missing anything. Inflation is crazy, userbase is dwindling, only thing of value anymore are the unconverted pets and they're pretty much impossible to get. Accounts are hacked constantly, just nothing fun to do anymore. I just have problems detaching. ;w;
Yeah, it took me a while to find them when I first joined, since you could only create them at the space station, haha.

Yeah, with Honeycombs, it's really odd: It's like they are both somehow 'harder' on the outside, as if crisped with sugar, and yet, also contain less sugar, and have much less flavor. Some years back they changed them, and I almost cried. So I saw the boxes no longer said, 'new', and maybe they'd be like they were.....wrong!

I've been here for 5 minutes and I'm still not drunk yet. This is making me sad. :c

I'm planning on being here. I know I'm not 21 yet, but I'm close enough. Plus, I'm bored as hell. Hello, how is everyone? Doing great? Good, I'm just doing nothing but lurking around the internet for about 10 hours, and I've been practicing my art. I say it's gotten decent. Not really sure, but I wanted to start over so I cleared my FA and started with new images. Huzzah.

My art sucks massively. That's why I have nothing posted on FA. I draw like a 4 year old, and have little time to practice and get better.

It bogs my mind though as well. I'm looking at these photos and like, "How do they do it?!" then I thought, "Oh! They're older than me, they must've had way more experiences than I do." Nope...there are artists who are around my age or younger who can pull it off better than I can. I duuno how they done it, but good for them.

I know I'm never going to be a great artist, but I've played guitar for decades. Then I get on YouTube and see 12 year olds playing better than me. There's always someone, or everyone better than you at whatever you do. I may actually start posting my attempts at learning to draw on FA, just like a lot of people seem to do. Screw it...

peek-a-boo!!! I see you!
no no...don't think like that. you just keep practicing...you do you...its your life...not theirs...comparing yourself to others can have negative drawbacks...because you are not them...you are you...and you are capable if you put in the work

Yeah, I'm actually a very positive person. I know I could learn to draw well, but its going to take a lot of work. I'm a pretty damned good blues rock guitarist, and I plan to incorporate guitar playing into my YouTube channel that's going to launch once my fursuit arrives. If I ever learn to draw anything well, I'll incorporate that too, but there's only so many things anyone can be good at, and visual art is on the bottom of my list at the moment since I don't seem to have much inherent ability there.

peek-a-boo!!! I see you!
you do what makes you happy...that's the best you can do. However, if art makes you happy don't throw it to the side just because someone is "better"...you put in the practice for both your music and your art and you'll get to a point where you are happy. I believe in you, and be sure to post your channel on here when you are ready

@RivendellWolf: I say keep trying! Things take time to develop.
For my part, I've also found that life only offers me so much time to get good at doing things, and sometimes, one doesn't have the time or means to spread themselves too thin. Myself, I've always had a knack with writing, and that's what I've stuck to, and developed. Also, it's very inexpensive The main problem is that while very fulfilling on a personal level, its a lot harder to get other people's reactions, as it takes longer to read a short story or poem than scan a picture. So that furry or otherwise, I do sometimes feel a certain loneliness creeping in, as I have a deep desire to share experiences with others, though my medium is far less 'followed' than visual art. And yet, I keep trying.
I wrote a series of 'animal' themed poems a while back; they hinge between the silly and the serious, between writing I do for fun, and what I might pass off as literature. Here's one from a while back:
Skunk
If only I could awaken as a skunk,
broad fore-claws throwing off the bedding,
sending the alarm clock to shatter on the floor
shredding the morning paper-
I’d prance outside,
fluff up my tail
ready to piss my dissent
over the world
laughing with the churring language of skunks
as I watched people run and scatter,
thinking:
I don’t stink, you do!
I’d get along
by not getting along,
some sulfury Mephistopheles
no worse than an oil refinery
or a paper mill
or your own exhaust fumes belched out endlessly
until the sky shows a sickly yellow-
I’d face life
with the full force of my tail
lifted in opposition
to this world.

Well, a brief writing sample; my poetry is what one would call narrative, free verse, inspired greatly by Anne Sexton, and others of her period and ilk.
