I came ridiculously close to creating a Wocky tonight just so I could paint him Darigan, but then I remembered that I really don't want more than seven pets right now.
Well, I actually have 8 now, but new girl's going to be my reptilian LE pet....
*Warning: Mini Rant Ahead*
I took a "break" from Neopets a couple of months ago because I was getting too frusterated with the game. I hopped over to another pet site and started off with a single pet. I fed all of my resources into her: coloring her, giving her a sidekick, training her up and raising her intelligence, so forth. And I realized something: the pet site game was a LOT more fun when I wasn't scrambling to serve the needs of a dozen pets.
So when I came back to Neo, I abandoned a bunch of my pets and stuck with the seven who were most heavily involved in the strange canon my mind's throwing together. I actually
abandoned Drats last (since I'd not paid to make him either Cybunny or Island), then spontaneously changed my mind and snatched him right back from the pound (and I'm STILL amazed that no one beat me to that).
I don't want more pets than I can handle just for the sake of having pretty, expensive trophy pet, which is why I ended up not creating that Wocky last week. The only reason I created Si
* (pet #8 ) was because... well... I'm not really sure why I created her. To claim her name while I save up for the potion, I suppose, since I know I'm going to end up with that pet at some distant point in my Neopets career.
* I don't know why I'm bothering to add this in. If you ever come across my account and notice I don't have a pet named Si, it's because I abandoned her and created "Me" on Christmas day to take her place.
