Slowly working my way back to getting caught up!

-1/10 do not recommend.
Apologies for being so far behind on life in HP!
Moving forward...

Congratulations to our July's Player Spotlight Winner!

Vex!

Vexation (#48841) is our desert dwelling Patriot Paint Queen!

...Community Chatter...

These little shout-outs come from various players, not just staff!

"Always fun to chat with and always participates in the activities around hp!"

...Interview Questions...

Anyone who wins P.o.t.M. can answer as many or all of the questions as they feel comfortable answering!

~...HP Questions...~
1. How did you first learn about us?
I randomly remembered the infamous HL TB, “Just Better” and was trying to see if there were any pictures. Google brought me to a HP thread post and here I am.

2. What is your favorite thing about HP?
The community; not feeling alone in my little pixel hobby.

3. How long have you been playing for?
I started October 2021 so I’m fairly new.

4. How did you come up with your player name?
My name on all platforms is Vex or Vexation. I had all guy friends when I started playing CounterStrike and doing LAN parties (back before the mass online servers). They’d call me annoying since I was the girl gamer of the group so hence, Vexation was born. 20 years later and I still use the name.

6. What caused you to pick the breed(s) you train and breed?
I started Pointe Du Hoc as a nod to my husband’s career. He was an Army Ranger for 12 years and so my line of Patriot (Regimental) Paints was born. Fitte has one of my backups from him and is doing way better with the line than I am!

9. Do you have a favorite animal? (It can be your own or another player’s you admire!)
Definitely in love with City’s “Outlaw”.

10. Who’s your go-to graphic artist or coder? Are there any services you offer?
Oh, so many! I'm obsessed with all of Uta's work, especially my layout and Pointe's picture. I don't think she's been open for orders for a while but I really like Amberellie's style too. Mango's coding is crazy good and actually inspiring me to take coding classes.

11. What is your favorite Site-Wide yearly event?
This was my first year doing the egg hunt and it was SO much fun. The amount of work put into it is amazing and I wasted a whole day of work over it, lol!

16. What do you spend most of your time on HP doing?
Interacting with other players! I’d say chat lines contest time is my favorite time since everyone is actively chatting so much.

17. What is your favorite Club?
Bookworms! I had a ton of fun running it once, got to see what a lot of people enjoy reading and got a lot of participation.

~...Real Life & Random Questions...~
1. Where are you from?
I’m from Washington State but currently live in Las Vegas, NV. We moved here April 2020 during the lockdown, that was a rough time in our lives.

3. What do you do for work?
I’m currently a Support Manager at a constitutional rights non-profit.

4. Do you own any horses or dogs?
I have a Ragdoll cat named Bailey and a Corgi named Harley.

9. What’s your favorite Holiday or Month?
I really love Halloween and fall time. Since moving to the desert I really miss the dark dank fall colors and smells.

10. Do you have a favorite vacation spot? If so, what or where is it?
I’d say anything camping with my husband. We recently had a really good camping trip over Memorial Day weekend down to a lake and then up into the mountains. My husband is out of town or out of the country a lot so any time I can spend with him I really enjoy.

11. Do you have any special talents? If so, what are they?
Oddly, skip tracing. I like to get into rabbit holes and use a ton of resources to find people and places. I was contacted by the show Catfish once because I had a friend catfished and I had tracked the person down.

12. If you could own any breed of horse, what would it be and why?
Not so much a specific breed but ever since I was little I always wanted a black/bay horse with a bald face.
Like this!

14. If you could meet any celebrity, who would it be and why?
Jenna Marbles. During all my husbands deployments she was a staple on my bad days and I’d binge her YT videos to cheer myself up. I’d listen to her podcast every week and watch her and her husband streams.

15. If you could travel anywhere, where would you go and why?
Honestly it’d be less about the place and more about how long. I need like a month long vacation on a sandy beach with my husband, my kindle, and a hammock.

20. What is your favorite ice cream flavor?
Mint Chocolate Chip or a really good Vanilla Bean.

22. What’s the funniest joke you heard recently?
A termite walks into the bar and asks, ‘Is the bar tender here?’

23. What Meme do you currently relate to? (please provide the pic link)
-link not working-will update when get new one!

24. Any good books or comics that you’ve read recently?
I really liked “All Your Perfects - Colleen Hoover” and “Never Lie - Frieda McFadden.”

25. Any good movies or shows you’ve seen lately?
I just watched the new Guardians of the Galaxy, I really liked it.

26. What is your go-to show to stream? (Via Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, etc.)
I like West World, Yellowstone, and lots of reality/trashy shows.

27. If you could transport yourself to any decade of past history, what would it be and why?
The 70s. I know it was a politically crazy time but I really like the music and style.

28. What is your favorite kind of pizza?
BBQ Chicken!
