    Hi everyone, I'm Vanc. I'm currently in my senior year at university in Vancouver (hence the username). I'm an avid swimmer and one of my guilty pleasure is playing Neopets (yes, totally embarassing I know...). I found this site looking for other people that are going through the same issues that I'm facing in my life currently. I've come out to my first 2 people in the past month and they have had some really good responses! But I haven't told any of my family members yet and that seems to be the most daunting task for me. Here's hoping you guys will be able to help me through it :slight_smile:.

    I USED TO LOVE NEOPETS WHEN I WAS, erm, eight..
    I see your point haha, no I think it's really cool that you have the guts to introduce yourself to hundreds of strangers admitting to that:wink:
    And lesbehonest,.. neopets is one whole load of awesome. We just do not have the guts to admit it after the age of ten :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    WELCOME;D;D

    Welcome! UBC I presume? I have a friend who's going to apply to the law school there. What's your major?

    fireworks: Well to be perfectly fair at this stage in my life telling someone that I play Neopets is a lot easier than telling someone I'm gay :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:.


    Steve712: You guessed right! I'm in the faculty of Science but I'm just going to keep it at that for fear that someone might find out who I am... sorry >.<

    Welcome to EC! I wouldn't worry about people finding you here, UBC is a big school. But just share whatever you're comfortable with, nobody will mind. :slight_smile:

    Maybe you could practice for coming out as gay by coming out as a neopets fan? :grin: Don't worry, I played it when I was in college too. :lol:
