I've had a love/hate relationship with the sometimes addicting virtual world of Neopets since I created my first account in 1999, back when only a handful of pet species were available in a handful of styles, though it wasn't until the introduction of mutant neopets that my interest was actively sparked. Though I can never forgive their decision to completely remove the pet that originally grabbed my attention, I'm still fond of many surviving mutants and continue to look forward to the new ones they release every "mutant day" in August.
Since these little bastards have consumed many hours of my internet time, I thought it was high time I give them a dedicated place here.
