Well, since the Archives are fucking up again and there is nothing I can do about it, I might as well blog like normal and try again in the morning.

Anyway...

Look what NeoPets just mailed me about my Christmas Gift's Rare Item Code:

Hi,

Thanks for writing. The rare item codes for Grundo's warehouse were located on the merchandise originally available in the California stores on November 10th, 2001. They were not on the items from the online store. Neopets merchandise is now available in all Limited Too stores across America. Please click the link on the main page, www.neopets.com, or the news page, for more information. There was also one special day where NeoPets merchandise was available in Singapore. If you bought something at any of these locations, you will either see a sticker on the item that says secret code, or you received a card. You need to go to the grundos warehouse, located on the space station, and type in your code. If you bought a secret code from someone else, don't be surprised if the code doesn't work, or has already been claimed. Don't fall for anyone claiming to sell their 'secret code', it is usually a scam.

CLAIRE'S:
The RARE ITEM CODE ITEMS have now been released for the Claire's petpet merchandise, in the UK as well as in the US. :O) You can get anything from a Doglefox Marker to a super rare Baabackpack! The codes are only included on the stickers and notebooks etc., items that are sealed so no one else can see the code.

NOTE : If you are from Canada and redeeming a rare item code from a box of Honey Nut Cheerios, please visit this URL instead : http://www.neopets.com/bee . Thanks!

If your code doesn't work the first time, please try waiting a day, and trying again. Sometimes the codes are released a little bit early, and our system wasn't ready to accept those codes yet. :O)

If you are sure you have the right code, you got it directly from the store, and it doesn't work, please write back. Make sure you include your username, the code, when and where you got it, and this entire message. Please also put 'invalid code' in the subject line.

Thank you,

The NeoPets Team

Why do I have this feeling like this was typed by a machine? In any case, the last paragraph doesn't include me. I know my sister doesn't use NeoPets, but who knows who stole the code before me? I might as well just forget about that little Christmas "extra." Oh well, that's how the cookie crumbles I guess.
