I have recently signed up for Free Realms, the free online game, where you can create your own character and go on adventures.
I created a character of my own, and tried it out. This online game requires Adobe Flash Player 9 or above, and needs to be installed on your computer. If your computer is old and does not display graphics well, then I suggest you do not download it.
When creating a Free Realms account, you first get to create an avatar. You have the choice of being a female human, male human, female pixie, or male pixie. I chose the female pixie. You are able to dress up your character with clothing you are given. If you are a pixie, you can choose certain kinds of wings. You also have the choice of face paintings, hair styles, eye color and face shape.
Free Realms does not ask you for much personal information when signing up. They ask you for your birthday and E-Mail address.
Installment does not take long at all. It took me about 5 minutes. It all depends on how fast your PC is. It's OK to install this program. It's very safe, you wont catch any bugs in your computer.
When you first sign up you are allowed to roam around a "Playground" and you may explore while the websites prepare all of the graphics, games, etc. When the website has finished loading, you will be taken to a certain place. You will most likely see a large amount of other people. Some will have odd creatures following them, such as a unicorn. Others will have dogs, cats, or even horses. These different things can be bought with "Station Cash."
Station Cash is used as special money in Free Realms. This special money is used to buy clothing, pets, vehicles, etc. Station Cah is obtained a certain way- You can either buy it with a credit card or Paypal account, or you can buy a "Station Cash Card" at a local store. You are given 250 Station Cash at the beginning of your Free Realms adventure.
Station Cash is just a special type of money in Free Realms. Coins, however, can also be used in Free Realms.
Coins can be used to buy things that are not as rare as other items.
A membership is important to Free Realms. To properly enjoy playing this game, you should buy a membership. A membership is used to buy things that will make you seem more sophisticated on FR. For example, a Parrot could cost 10,000 coins to purchase, but you need a membership to buy it. A membership costs $5.00.
Free Realms has many features to enjoy, and I strongly encourage you to download it.
Free Realms- Rated E-10, for ages 10 and up.

Trends and Upcoming Things
I'm quite bored lately, so I have decided to write a review on the newest craze: Silly Bandz.
Years ago, someone invented a rubber band that was shaped like an object of some sort. This rubber band always kept it's shape, no matter what. These weren't very popular, until just recently. The shaped rubber bands have come up from the ashes, and have swept away the nation. They are now call Silly Bandz, and everyone wants them.
What makes these so popular? The fact that they keep their shape when you take them off and stuff is cool, I guess, but thats all...? What's so great about them? They've already been banned from schools because people actually get up, and trade their freakin' rubber bands in the middle of a lesson! How absurd is that? Anyway, apparently there are different series' of them: Sea Life, Fantasy, Instruments, Jungle Life, etc. They also have scented, and glow-in-the-dark ones. There are larger ones, and smaller ones, and some seem to be more uncommon than others.
I enjoy Silly Bandz, but I believe it's just a phase. They are just going to die down, just like all of the other things we all enjoyed back then.
Silly Bandz can be found in convenient stores such as 7 Eleven or a local Cards-and-Gifts Store.
Leave a comment about what you think about Silly Bandz!
Rumors have been spreading like crazy about the new Pokemon games being released: Pokemon Black Version and Pokemon White Version. Blogs and websites have been buzzing with facts and screenshots. It appears that the rumors have been true! Poketto Monsutā Burakku Howaito, or Pocket Monsters: Black and White (more commonly referred to as Pokemon Black and White) has been officially announced, and it will become the 5th Generation of our favorite Japanese Monsters! Screenshots show increased 3-D Graphics, but this game will not be released for the upcoming Nintendo 3DS Handheld System. Director Junichi Masuda stated that several aspects of the series were being revamped for the new generation.
A silhouette of an unidentified Pokemon was shown by Junichi Masuda on the February 7, 2010 episode of Pokémon Sunday, stated to be in the upcoming film for the summer and to be identified in a future episode on February 21. This new character would also be featured in the March 2010 issue of "CoroCoro Comic." Since then, the mysterious Pokemon has been named Zoroark, evolved from Zorua- another new character that was introduced. Both of these new Pokemon are said to be featured in the upcoming film Pokemon Diamond & Pearl The Movie: Phantom Ruler: Zoroark. The April 18, 2010, episode of Pokémon Sunday showed game footage of a player character walking around in a 3-D environment and a single screenshot depicting a battle between the player's Zoroark and an enemy Zorua.
A trailer for the upcoming Pokemon movie has also been found:
Tell me what you want to see in the new Pokemon movie and game!
3DS
You may or may not have heard of the new upcoming Nintendo hands held console. This new console is known as the 3DS. To most people, it is a remake of Nintendo's old "Virtual Boy" - The 3-D Console that left people with seizures and aching backs. Now, Nintendo will be releasing a console that has extreme three dimensional graphics that do not require the use of special glasses.
When I say "three dimensional" I don't mean the games pop out of the screen. I mean, the graphics LOOK 3-D and are very extreme. A trailer for this new console can be found on video-sharing websites, such as YouTube. The trailer shows a DSi Ware game called Rittai Kakushi e Attakoreda. The 3DS is being held by a person, and as the person tilts the console, you can see different parts of the game. It may seem a bit cheap, but since it is a DSi Ware game, it's not top-notch. Here is a link to the trailer:

What do you think? Is it going to be a great console like the Wii? Or just another Virtual Boy?
Thats all I have to say! I hope you enjoyed "Trends and Upcoming Things!"

S.O.S !
I've watched so many Anime's over the years, and now I've run out of Anime to watch. A few people recommended Fullmetal Alchemist, but I need some more ideas.
Don't you just hate it when you work extremely hard for something, and someone else gets it instead? And then you automatically hate the person who got it? That happens a lot on Neopets when you're writing an application for a pet that's up for adoption. You really have to pay attention to what the owner of the Neopet likes and dislikes. If you write something the person doesn't like, your chances of getting the pet you want will decrease. I have a lot of experience with applications for Neopets, and if anyone has any trouble with theirs I'd be happy to help. Just remember it's important to read the rules for the pet carefully, and don't send a message to the owner saying, "if u giv me ______ i will fed n play wit him evry day." Thats noobish.
But even experienced people need help. I went to the extreme, and now I'm applying for a Krawk. The competition is insane. If anyone has any Krawk fan-art they would like to share with me, you can Neomail me at Neoadopterz, or E-Mail me at Neonia@optonline.net. I will leave credit, I wont steal anything.
Seriously, creating a Flash Website is extremely difficult. I'm sticking with my blog for now.
Please, please, please, send me any website or blog that gives tutorials on HTML and Coding. I need help with it, because I fail epically at it.
If I can get people to create a Neopets account under my referral, then I will get Referral Points on my account. The more points I get- the more prizes I earn. Some of the prizes are very rare, too. So please create a Neopets account by clicking on this button!
You can also get on Neopets by clicking on the banner at the top of my blog.

I've written a petition that is targeting teachers who grade homework and putting the grade on report cards. I believe it's outrageous! Sign this petition if you support this cause.
What's with these new rubber bands? The Silly Bandz? I don't get the point of them ... sure, they're cool, they keep their shape, whatever, but what's so great about them. I like them, but it's not as amazing as people say they are. Nothing Revolutionary. Gee, it takes one simple idea to sweep away the nation, doesn't it?
