violachicFor a few months, I've been running two Neopets accounts. I created one account with one pet, and adopted three more. Then I thought it would be fun to have some other species about, so I created another account with one pet, and adopted three more. I have come to my rope's end dealing with eight Neopets, so I have decided to consolidate. I sent everything from my one account over to the other, I'm selling a bunch of stuff, giving away extra petpets (see my post at ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Then comes the part where you have to dump your pets at the pound. Eep. Even though I know they're completely computer generated, something in me feels really guilty. Who knew it would be so hard to get rid of a few icons on a computer screen? I am, however, using it as an exercise in Trying Not to be so Pathetic About Things.
In all seriousness, though- it compares nothing to the- well, I won't call it pain, exactly, but it was definitely a dull ache- I experienced as I purged all my former students' names out of my cell phone directory last Friday afternoon. I really miss the kids, and I wish there were a way I could get them back. But seeing how I have tried repeatedly to contact them and no one has called me back, I'm pretty certain the psycho lady at the music store has intimidated them into not contacting me. Which is wrong on so very many levels. My mother has told me that she thinks its a matter of my pride and repuation, and that I should fight for them. But I think its a matter of not flaming things worse than they are, and a matter of not traumatizing the kids any more than she might already have. I'm sure she's said a plethora of bad things about me, but.... oh well. So I'm willing to let it go, because its not worth it on anyone's end.
