Hi there!
Name:Nebula (ladynebula on neo)
Age:25
Birthday: February 9
User Look Up (link):http://www.neopets.com/userlookup.phtml?user=ladynebula
Age of your account: 7 years in September!
Number of pets you own: 4
What was your motivation for chosing your pets that you have including why and how your pets were painted, if applicable (please narrow this question down to no more than 6 of your pets): Let's see..
Astemus was originally an Aisha who was painted Faerie, then Desert. When the Draiks were released, I fell in love with them, but I already had 4 pets. I saved up and morphed him, then painted him Fire. After finally making enough NP for the Adam avie, I decided he needed a change and painted him Maraquan, mainly because I think the Maraquan Draiks are absolutely gorgeous... plus, they came through the redraws virtually unharmed ;)
Gothan will never change species or color. Grundos are my favorite pets - I adore them! He was painted Faerie because I thought the Faerie Grundos were simply beautiful. And gosh, he's just so cute *L*
LadyGaia is my Lab Rat. She was originally a Kau, and has been... just about everything. She'll probably remain a Lab Rat, unless she turns into something really, really cool.
SorchaPhoenix... well, I loved Kougras. I painted her Faerie ages ago, then decided I liked her better as Fire (it fit her name). Well, stupid me accidentally zapped her about a month ago, and she's back to Faerie. Before the redraws, I was considering morphing her into a Royal Elephante, but now she's staying Kougra for the forseeable future.
Please elaborate your thoughts/accomplishments on the following:
*Note: you are not bound by the suggestions made in parantheses.
Please answer the following honestly:
What major or minor goals have you accomplished thus far: The Adam avatar! I saved and saved for that, and I'm proud that I made the money on my own. All of my pets have been painted the old fashioned way (except for LadyGaia, the Lab Rat ;) ) I'm proud of the avatars I've gotten, especially the species ones. I didn't borrow any pets for those, I morphed LadyGaia each time - and not with the Lab Ray, because let's face it... I'm not that lucky!
What are your current goals: More stamps! Get some game trophies... expand my gallery even more. There are just too many green things in Neopia ;) Oh, and to pad my bank account... I spent almost all of what I earned from Adam. Lastly, work on my game scores so I can get some trophies and more avatars!
What is your ultimate goal(s): Finish my Stamp Album.
Have you been frozen? If so, why? Nope!
What makes you feel that you are elite? First of all, the age of my account. I've stuck with Neopets since I first started, except for a 2 1/2 year period when I had no computer, and even then I tried to get on when I could. I also think that my combination of painted pets, stamps and avatars make me elite.
Why do you want to join this community? It seems like a nice, mature place to discuss Neopets (along with the Neopian_Adults comm, which I love!). Everyone here seems great (I recognize a lot of names from neopian_adults), and I'd like to associate myself with awesome people ;)
Out of curiosity, how did you find us? The link on the Neopian_Adults profile page.
Anything else you would like to add: I originally started playing Neopets in March 2000, but self-iced in September of that year because the site was riddled with glitches (I remember once all of the items in my shop got priced for 1 NP! That was the final straw for me). A couple of days later, I realized the errors of my ways and started over with the same user name. I've missed out on a lot over the years because there was a time when I didn't have a computer. I logged on when I could at libraries and friends' houses. Last year, I finally got a new pc and have been doing everything I could to make up for lost time... so the stamps and avatars were pretty much done in a year.

I put a link in my LJ profile. Alas, I'm not educated in the ways of html, so it's very simple - but it's there! :D

Please elaborate your thoughts/accomplishments on the following:
*Note: you are not bound by the suggestions made in parantheses.
- Your Pets (age, petpages, graphics, personalities, petpets. etc): I'm very proud of my pets, and the fact that they're all the ones I originally created (although their looks have changed a bit). As of this writing, they are all 2447 days old - almost 2500! Also, they were all painted the original way - no Fountain Faerie for me *sigh*
- The Battledome (Your pets stats, weapons, conquered opponents, etc): I've never really been a battler, but I am trying to get through Defenders of Neopia. Currently trying to beat that blasted Chomby!
Here are the stats of my battling pet:
Hit Points: 477
Strength: ULTIMATE (237)
Defence: EXCELLENT (48)
Movement: LEGENDARY (127)
Intelligence: ULTIMATE GENIUS (333)
Played: 289
Won: 201
Lost: 75
Drawn: 13
Score: 26,643
- Collecting (Avatars, trophies, maps, stamps, gallery items, etc): I collect stamps and avatars, mainly. Once I get more NP, I'd like to start on the cards. I'm also always searching for items for my Green Gallery! I'm proud of the avatars I've gotten (with little lending - only FQD, ZDAP and ITTPD were lended), and I'm really proud of my Stamp collection! I'm working on the expensive ones now, and my super-crazy-ultimate goal is to get the unbuyable ones.
- Gaming (Favorites, what you excel at, grandmaster scores, etc): Alas, I'm not a very good gamer, but I do have some Grand Master scores:
Advert Attack
Defender Trainer
Destruct-o-Match
Faerie Cloud Racers
Feed Florg
Revel Roundup
Stamp Collector
Techo Says (ah, memories...)
Usuki Frenzy
Whack-a-Kass
Wingoball
I left out sponsor games of course *L* I also left out the "luck" games, like Gormball.
My favorite games are Snowmuncher, Destruct-o-Match, Ultimate Bullseye, Revel Roundup and Defender Trainer.
I only have "easy" trophies, which I'm working on. Here's what I have:
Site Even trophies -
Tyrannian Skirmisher, Lost Desert Helper, Meridell Herald (these were obtained while I was in college and had little Net time for plots *sigh*), Altador Cup Supporter (1st Place), Meepit Wrangler. I'm also a "Trainee" in the Tyrannian Army.
Site Feature Trophies - Defenders of Neopia (Mission 11), Defenders of Neopia Series 2 (Mission 3), and of course my worthless Lutari Talisman *L*
Game Trophies - Snow Wars Champion, Pyramid Bonus Champion, Second Place at Sakhmet Solitaire Bonus, Go! Go! Go! Champion, Cheat! Champion, Beating Punchbag Bob Champion
- Favorites(games, items, avatars, pets, anything neo):
Favorite Avatars: I'm most proud of the Adam avie, natch ;) I worked incredibly hard for the Destruct-o-Match one, so I'm also very proud of that one. Love the Happiness Faerie one... I adore Sloth :)
Favorite Stamps: The Virtpets ones, definitely, and the Maraqua page is soooo pretty.
- Neo Activity (how often you play, guild activity, where/what you spend your time doing, etc): I play every day! I spend my time playing games, doing quests, sniping, and trying to make some np for my stamp album! Oh, and currently, playing Yooyuball, because I came in late last year, and want to make up for it this year.
- Non-Neo Activity (where you are from, your real pets, what you do in your spare time, interests etc):
