MESSY DESK- After a nice long vacation from the winter holidays, it feels to
great to be back. I spent a nice week at Terror Mountain skiing and snowboarding
with my friends and family. It was quite fun and I highly suggest snowboarding.
I even met a new friends, this adorable Usul with beautiful eyes. She could
really dress, too. She was one of the best skiers on the mountain. Pink Eyes,
girl, I'm rooting for you to win the King of the Mountain Contest, in a month!
I have no doubt, she'll be crowned the first Queen of the Mountain. She might
even pop into The Neopian Times Offices one of these days and help me with my
article. So keep your eyes open for Pink Eyes!
After reading the latest article from Dr. Frank Sloth, I must say that Slothy,
the reason you always lose at taking over the world is you always underestimate
your opponent. I may be just a Striped Shoyru, but I'm a fireball. The arrogant,
badly dressed man believes that I would be easy to take out but I'm not weak.
I can do more than offer advice and give him a major long awaited make over.
I could tell everyone, but Slothy, darlin' you'll just have to find out for
yourself. We'll meet in battle and you'll be quite shocked at what a fashionable
amulet or helmet really can do. In a possible debate, I know so many big words
and how to present them right, you're head will be spinning in circles. Besides,
I'm the Champion Debater of The Fashion Club, those girls know how to argue.
You'll be nothing against them, Slothy dear!
Dearest Roxy: Why is the sky purple? I bought these cool sunglasses
but when I wear them everything looks purple. Is it magically changing when
I put on the glasses or what? -Confused Patient From The Mental Hospital
Down The Road
Dear Confused Patient From The Mental Hospital Down The Road: Very
few every address me in the fashion of 'Dearest Roxy.' I must thank you for
being so kind. The sunglasses do tend to change the way you see the world especially
in colors, but they are so fashionable. They are defiantly worth every Neopoint!
Keep on wearing those shades. Although it's not magic, it should be! -Roxy
Dear Roxy: Does your owner have an obsession with borovan? And if
so, is it addictive? -Borovan Questionnaire
Dear Borovan Questionnaire: My owner, roxycaligirl101, isn't obsessed
with Borovan. If you want to meet someone with an obsession you should meet
the ketchup nut that wouldn't stop sending me messages. Just because our family
uses the phrase 'may the Borovan be with you' doesn't show any type of addiction
or obsession. Although it's a pretty delicious drink, you should really try
it. -Roxy
Dear Roxy: Do you get a lot of mail from people for The Neopian Times?
How do you keep up with it? Do you ever get a hundred Neomails in your inbox?
-Questionable
Dear Questionable: I do get vast amount of Neomails with questions,
problems, declarations of war, Battledome request, invitations, you name it.
Yes, I have received over a hundred messages. My rival, Dr. Frank Sloth and
I are always competing to see who can receive more messages; I always win.
-Roxy
Dear Roxy: How do you find time to answer so many Neomails?
-Neostorm
Dear Neostorm: Multitasking. -Roxy
Dear Roxie: Do you have any advice for writers who have tried to get
into The Neopian Times? -Trying Hard
Dear Trying Hard: First of all, my name is ROXY! If you want to get
into The Neopian Times, remember to always use proper spelling and grammar.
The best advice I can give you is to never give up and and don't be afraid to
try something different. Another tidbit of advice I can offer comes from a wise
author, which is to find your voice. They all worked for me and maybe they'll
work for you, too. Best of luck and may the Borovan be with you! -Roxy
Dear Roxy: I simply do NOT know what to get my owner for her birthday!
Do you have any suggestions? -A Drama Queen With A Bearog
Dear A Drama Queen With A Bearog: Oh, shopping! I love shopping! This
would be a lot easier if I knew your owner, but I don't so I can't inform you
of the perfect gift but I can give you some tips toward buying the perfect gift.
-What does your owner like? Does she like to read? You can buy her books? Does
she like to play soccer? If so, buy her a soccer ball.
-What does your owner care about? What's special to her? If she really like
jewelry, you can make her a necklace out of gold, clay or macaroni.
-Talk to her friends and family. At least one of them should have some idea
of what to buy your owner. Good luck and I hope your owner has a happy and healthy
birthday!
-Roxy
Dear Roxy: Why did you not answer my question in the last Neopian
Times issue of Dear Roxy? -Be My Neofriend
Dear Be My Neofriend: I receive more questions than I could possibly
ever answer, I wish I could answer them all but I can't. Sorry! I'm not accepting
Neofriend requests at this time but you don't have to be on some list to be
my friend. -Roxy
Dear Roxy: How do you type with boxing gloves on? -A Concerned
Person
Dear A Concerned Person: Very carefully! -Roxy
Dear Roxy: Perhaps you would consider an advice giving debate with
Sloth? -The Spork of Doom
Dear The Spork of Doom: I'd gladly accept, I wouldn't mind a debate
with Sloth. Although, I doubt he'd accept because I'm just "a weak little Shoyru."
For an evil genius, he sure can be simple-minded. -Roxy
Dear Roxy: My owner has become extremely obsessed with writing embarrassing
stories about me and my siblings and trying to publish them in The Neopian Times.
THIS MUST STOP!!! She CANNOT tell everyone in Neopia about the time that I...
well, I won't go into that, but please tell me how to get her to stop. -
Embarrassed Pteri
Dear Embarrassed Pteri: Sometimes you have to fight fire with fire
or embarrassment with embarrassment. Tell your owner, if she publishes that
embarrassing story that you'll publish that oh, so hideous picture of her that
will make her turn bright red in horror. I think you get the idea *wink*
-Roxy
