It's not any big great secret. My favourite online game by far is Neopets. I've been playing for nearly two years now. I have a main account, and two gallery accounts. 12 virtual pets in all. My main account is BuckshotJones00. My gallery accounts are FatNakago and Scanalyzer. Why I even mention this is that during last night's posts while I was wrestling with style and substance and the lack thereof, I came across a young girl's Neopets blog and I forgot to save the link to it. I remember commenting to her that if she wanted her blog to be of help to fellow Neopians, should have at least left her username somewhere so people could neomail her. But then again, it's probably just as well since I already have far too many teenage girl neofriends as it is. Onward.

As I said, I was wrestling with the lack of substance and style and in the interim I've added titles to old posts to create the illusion of substance and style to them. Yes, I've decided I like titles....or, rather, I've made my peace with them for now. But what I was curious about was if there were more Neopets related bloogs out there.

Blooger doesnt have a search engine for searching Blooger for bloogs. If they have, it has escaped my feeble clutches. But Google will suffice I suppose.

Now mind you, on Neopets, Blogs take a on a little bit different meaning than they do in the so-called normal world. On Neopets, there are ShopBlogs, which are placed in your shop to jazz things up a bit. They dont work like "real" blogs, but they could. Quitely honestly, I dont understand their appeal, but I have one in MY shop, and I've made an entire website of Neopets Shop Blogs called Fat Nakago's Hillbilly ShopBlog Page.

These are not really meant for blogging, they are more for putting a description of your shop into something more fancy......very much like the aformentioned trousers on a dog. But enough of this shite. Let's see what the world's biggest search engine has to offer up.

The first offering is not a blog, but rather it's like my page, only more straightforward and useful. They offer a BlogFusion Weblog Coder that is Neopets compatable. It's a do-it-yourself program for someone one who wants a custom blog for Neopets like the ones I've designed. The program could actually be used anywhere, but they recognize that quite a lot of their users will be Neopians sort of like myself, but not quite. These folks have a little Yellow Chia on their page. And what says Neopets more than THAT, ne?

As for actual blogs, the rest of the lot seems to be a rather sad and lean. I checked out Neopets Blog and found one paltry little entry from someone who says his account is spud1323. But....I checked and there is no longer a spud1323 account on Neopets. Also, there is no Maraquan Battle Guild. And the other possible username, retro2, is well...a girl from Canada who's been playing for a month, and is a member of the Groovy Chicks Guild, which I am going to join if my wife every throws me out of Ixilicious. So....there's a bit about that.

I thought, at first, that Caeli Dictum was what I was looking for. Especially with the goth angel skin I thought it would be right up my alley. But, sadly, after checking the userlookup, I find she hasn't been playing neopets for almost a year. SHAME on you, Debi Hodges!! Your poor Faerie Kau Kowrisa is STARVING and DYING!!

Meanwhile, Scritchy-Scratchy has some nice Neopets art on it. VERY nice drawings of Illusen and the Grey Faerie. It's not quite the blog I'm looking for, but I'd say check this one out. Nice anime/fantasy art as well.

Not a thrilling attempt here, I'm afraid. I'm finding a few bloogs that have petered out after 1 post. I had high hopes for The Baby Neopets Plaza Blog, but as you can see....this eager little snapper had not much more to say than what she said. I suppose I could spend the rest of the night on sites like this, but the Trollway Liquor Store is closed. I need to save my beer for something else which I will get to shortly. But meanwhile, this little snapper and one her pals also set up a Baby Neopets Plaza Webbie for their Baby Neopets guild. As you might expect, there no longer is a such a guild on Neopets. But there is a Hiptapjazz on Neopets. Again, she's abandoned her STARVING and DYING neopet, a little red Kacheek, 317 days ago. Her little friend, halie_potter~ no longer has an account on Neopets.

But as for the BEER, well....THIS array of stuff totally has me flummoxed. I know it's in Polish, but Kacheek, Chia, Lupe, Chomby, Korbat, Aisha, Moehog, and so on are the same in all languages on Neopets. What the hell is THIS all about? It says it's a neopets blog, but....I'm not seeing a thing there or on the links that even hints at anything Neopian. I'm going to need a lot more beer to figure THIS one out. Maybe I should send them a neomail.

So enough already. I've decided I like the titles, for now. They are SUCH the coolest toy! I am the best owner ever!!

Mood: Best Owner Ever
