Hi!

I've been here on and off - though mostly off - for already a bit over a year now, so I have a vague general idea about some of the annual events as well as basics like earning sP, training my pets, and and dressing up my HA (yeah, okay, those are pretty much the only things I've done), but I never really looked into the social aspects of the site so I've probably been missing out on a lot.

Anyhow, I thought it was about time to change that, so here I am. My name is Leana, and when I'm not shamelessly wasting my time on virtual pet sites (I've also been on Neopets for years), I masquerade as a normal 20-something who enjoys working out, cooking, fashion, make-up, travelling, netflix, reading, writing, drawing… so pretty basic stuff, really.

I never introduced myself when I first joined 11 years ago lol.

Also a 20-something who enjoys cooking, books, and making art and crafts lol. Welcome to the forums!

- ah, at least i'm not the only one who didn't introduce themselves immediately then :D

- thank you! I hope so too, and I definitely like the idea of a slightly older community here.

- thank you! It's nice to see like minded people here ^^

I think I started posting on forums a year later lol.

Anyway, I'm 29 and live in Ontario, Canada. I have four hamsters, a lovebird and a lobster.

I'm 26. And yay for pets! That sounds like an adorable bunch. I only have one pet myself, a 4 year old bengal cat, and I'm hoping to also get a dog eventually but right now I just wouldn't have enough time to take care of a dog so it'll have to wait. My feli Grand Inquisitor is actually based on my cat, I've been meaning to draw her a custom overlay that matches her markings but finding time to draw isn't that easy and it definitely won't happen until after the holidays.
