Hey again! I know a lot of you were wondering why I was dressed "unfashionably" a while ago. Fact is, I was curious to see how people react to others' looks.

It started with people Y-mailing me saying "Whoa! What happened to your face!?" and "You looked waaay better before." I guess some people didn't like my new face?

Then, after I had the face for a while, I went into lots of chatrooms to get more direct responses. Many people recognized me as a Y-mail Helper, but some people didn't. Those said, "Eeeww, ugly nooB," or other things I don't care to repeat. And a lot of the time when I went into the Newbie Center, people said, "I don't want to be helped by a newbie!"

That goes to show a lot of people hate newbies, or even people who "look" like them!

Some conversations were good; some people did not seem to mind my face, even those who didn't know I was a Y-mail Helper.

And some conversations were just weird. Some girls asked me, "Would you go out with me?" Even with that look! I guess they were desperate. Now you know why I don't online date!

Well, now it's over and I'm back to normal, but I will never forget my experience as a newbie-oldbie!


I hope you all feel a little different about newbies now. Hey, I challenge you to take the same test I did for a week and see how you feel afterward!

One last note: I know this idea is more Deriko's than it is mine, since he was doing it before me. I just wanted to try it, and make my results public.

This is FireBeam, going to help more newbies.
