Who are you?
A. Name: Ethel
Age: 23
Abilities: Reading 24 books
in a week, speak 3 languages, play the Sims for hours at a time, be a super-mom,
drawing, being comical, taking care of Herman II
(my venus flytrap), working on my websites. Update: Herman
suffered an accident. He was knocked out the window and then torn to pieces by
an over enthusiastic retriever that I unfortunately call mine. He was scattered
all over the yard. The only thing left of him is his pot. Alas poor Herman, I
knew you not. (November 22, 2005)
Why did you make this site?
A. This is actually my 2nd site. My first site is dedicated to
gaiaonline stuff, mostly about pixel
pets. I love them! I've wanted a Neopets webpage for sometime now. I first began
using code (basically HTML) on a website I frequently visited. I was
envious of how some people could get their pages to look cool, while I was still
struggling with mine. So I started looking at the source code and after
scratching my head a few times, figured out what and how they were doing it.
After that I went to geocities.yahoo.com and began practicing. Once I felt that
I was doing pretty good, my brother surprised me with a laptop that had
Frontpage on it. I've been using it ever since. Then I
found out that my college was offering classes in webpage making and I signed up.
It's been very informative and helpful. Since then,
through trial and error, I've become pretty proficient at it.
How did you learn to ____?
A. I learned by taking chances, making mistakes and lots of frustration. Don't
forget the donuts. Lots and lots of jelly donuts. And The Sims.
Can you show me how?
A. No sorry. My methods are my methods and everyone has a method that fits them.
I can give you ideas and advice, but I don't teach anyone.
Can I have ____?
A. No. My neopets, neopoints, neoitems or whatever are not for sale. I've been
playing the site since it first began and I've worked hard at getting what I
currently have. If you want to
trade, you can check out my trades
here, or my auctions
here. Of course you could always just buy something from me
here, or
you can be generous and donate to one of my two galleries
here or
here.
Will you give me ___ if I give you ____?
A. I repeat, NO.
Do you do art trades?
A. No. I don't consider my talents considerable enough to try drawing something
for someone else. Thank you for considering me though.
Are you crazy?
A. Moi? Crazy? Nah. Just insane.
How many pets do you have?
A. Ten. 4 in my main account, 4 in my secondary account and 2 in my third
account. I don't use all of my accounts. Mostly I just wanted specific pets
without having to change the current ones. I take care of them all...mostly they
just get fat and lazy. They've all practically moved into the Neolodge. Except
for Tavvy. He's my gourmet pet and my strongest fighter.
Can you donate X amount of neopoints to me?
A. Maybe. Every other month I'll do something nice for someone. Lets say you
have a certain item I want, but I don't want to pay the price you're asking for
it. If you're looking for an item for a gallery but not enough NP for it, if you
give me the item I want from you and slash the price, I'll get you the item you
want as well as an agreed sum for it. It's called 'haggling'.
Why is your site so jumbled?
A. Well at the VERY last minute, I decided to do a major overhaul. After 6
months of being satisfied using Image maps for everything, I suddenly got sick
of it and went back to my original idea of just using the base images as
hyperlinks. So this site isn't even 25% complete yet. Bothersome I know. :P If I
only knew Javascript I'd sooooooo have my days made! ARGH!
