Hello. I'm Masquerade. I joined a while back and then left. I don't remember why. I likely just forgot. Anyway, I suppose I should properly introduce myself and tell you a little bit about me.

I am an adult. I've been married to my husband for almost 7 years. I have 3 indoor cats and 2 Shetland ponies. I love all things horses, good scary movies, Sims 3, creating photo manipulations (not that I'm very good at it) and baking ridiculously delicious treats. My favorite time of the year is coming up soon. I adore the autumn. The cold, rainy weather, the changing colors of leaves, the perfect "window" weather as I call it. For me, "window" weather is when it's so nice out that you can just turn off all the a/c units and open your windows and enjoy that outdoors... without all the bugs. LOL!

My favorite music varies, a bit. I have a rather wide range of what I like. For example, I like: Celtic Wonder, Coyote Oldman, Switchfoot, Avenged Sevenfold, Jack Johnson, Guns N Roses, The Beatles, Journey, Boston, Kansas, Diamond Rio, Aerosmith, Men At Work, David R. Maracle, DC Talk, Jars of Clay, Frank Zappa, Take 6, and many others. The only thing I don't actively listen to or seek out is rap, opera and most country. Of course, there are a few exceptions within those genres.

As a side note: I tend to bounce between different sites during the day and I'm also in the middle of home renovations so if you ever message me for anything, be sure that I will eventually get back to you. Just have a little patience with me. ^_^

Also, I do apologize if I make any blunders while I try to orient myself to a new game. Please let me know if I need to change anything on my page. On that note, I do have a question about crediting: I'm aware that credits are needed but what if you commissioned and paid for an image with real money? What credits are required then? Still the artist or are credits even required at that point?

Anyway, thanks very much for allowing me to prattle on for a bit. Pleased to meet you. ~resists urge to add "I hope you guessed my name"~

Welcome back! Autumn is my favorite season too! As for credits, yes they do need to credit the aritist and/or any stock that they use.

An explaination for credits can be found here:

Fall is my favorite time of year too! And I am crazy about Halloween. Welcome to HP! 

Oh, I long for October. I'm actually going to dye my hair for October, this year. I'm going with black, orange and white/silver. I'm excited and can't wait. I currently have my hair dyed black with a wide stripe in the front that's (from right to left): fuchsia/red, hot pink, bright plumb, purple, cobalt blue and turquoise. I'm actually going to dye it a normal color tomorrow and then leave it alone for a while, just to give my hair a break. Lol!

Hello, Masquerade, very pleased to meet you! I'm so glad to see some autumn lovers as I too am one!! I adore autumn especially around November near Thanksgiving. Nothing beats the county fair, Thanksgiving, a cool breeze and the changing leaves. I'm actually an autumn-born baby too! :) Perhaps that's my reason for loving it lol..

 I'm also in love with baking too! What's your favorite treat to bake? Mine is cookies! I love making huge batches of cookies from scratch {usually do that in the autumn} and window watch lol. 

Hiiiii!! 😁😁

*waves* Welcome back! Glad to spy a fellow Stones fan (and Aerosmith fan for that matter). If you have any questions or just feel like getting to know some of us a little better, feel free to join us in Basic Chat! Or, y'know, message us ;) Always love making new friends! And don't feel awkward being an adult on this game. I'm 26 myself and most of us are in our late teens-20s and right on up. So you're in good company!

Welcome back :D!!

@Equ - My favorite thing to bake is probably the most time consuming and delicate thing I ever learned to do: make my grandfather's homemade hot rolls. He died back in 2011 and last year was the first time I ever attempted to make his rolls. I just couldn't stand another Thanksgiving with those Sunbeam Brown and Serve "rolls". Lol!

@Absinthe - It's good to know I'm not the only old fart here. On a different game that I play, we oldies are outnumbered. ^_^

@Everyone else - Thanks for the warm welcome (back)!

~I am a man of wealth and taste... Been around for a long, long year, stole many a man's soul and faith...

In any event, WELCOME BACK!

Sorry about his passing - But I always it nice to have a recipe from lost loved ones. It just gives good memories :) 

Hey! Welcome back to HP! :). I'm kind of late replying here, oops!

I think you'll find that you fit right in as an adult on HP :). The majority of us are late teens to young-ish adults!

Please don't hesitate to message me (or any staff member!) if you have any questions :). We also have a great Getting Started Guide here: http://horsephenomena.com/help/getting_started.php

With credits, all images that are displayed on HP for pages or animals needs credits on it. So we require credits for each part of the image in full URL form, whether it was a USD comission from another website or not.
