Heck yes!  I got the sloth avatar!  Woo!
 

I voted for Oil Painting, but am now having regrets. Could you imagine seeing this on a Skeith's belly?

Or how about this famous one?

But hey, if nothing else, the game worked.  It didn't make my decade old laptop lag either.  And here I was kinda impressed that they'd made something fully functioning!

That is possible, too!  Poor little scared stocks!  It's okay, babies, you can climb, it's safe!

Going by my portfolio it's not at all common, stocks seem to like the 30-50 or so bracket the most, and snuggle together there for comfort, lol.
Maybe it's just as scary for them as it is for us when they start to climb? ?

Haha, my neopoints account is barely getting that 4 mill per year in interest, so I understand where you are coming from getting excited about it!

I never had luck with stocks.  It seemed mine would very very rarely give me double what I paid for them.  Is it really common for them to go so high, even the ones on the bargain page?

I spotted him in the rotation on the bottom of today's site theme.

I thought the url would tell me, but nope, no help there.

But blimey, there's a guy who thinks a lot of himself, right?! ?

There's something about the Maraquan Lenny that just... seems amiss. I'm not sure why. But I don't think I like it.

Yes @GillyTook you are allowed to claim these on your side accounts ? 

Ok, so I read the JN article about this and am now armed with some info. I didn't realise option 2 is the UC pose, not something new at all. I wish I'd known that before voting because I too would have asked for some context as others on JN have when they voted.
I've just no idea what to make of this now.
A lot of people are getting excited thinking it's some UC thing being done, which seems unlikely? Others fear the same as me about individual pet shapes being reduced. But really, how are we meant to choose when we don't know what we're choosing for?

Might I suggest spinning her wheel from now on whilst wearing a chainmail glove?

Ick.  I love my four legged pets, so I really hope this does not mean making them all into the various four legged characters who stand upright at some point.  I will seriously cry if my ixi ends up on two legs.  Also voted for #1.

I am so excited and proud right now!
I first went to college 5 1/2 years ago (Sept 2013), right after I finished high school. Didn't succeed. Dropped out after one semester. I was burned out from school and only went because my family wouldn't stop bugging me about it. Do I really need to say why that's never a good reason to go to college? I did want to go to college. Just not on their schedule.
Floated around for some years, trying to figure out what to do with my life and how adulthood works (LOL; it never stops feeling unnatural, but you get better at it). Got a job in retail. After two years, going on three, of that, I finally went back to school, but I chose a trade school versus traditional college because I didn't want to spend four years getting a degree. No offense to those who take that route. I just didn't want it.
I struggled toward the end of the program, but I got a 91 on my final exam and a 95 on my research project, both of which I finished quickly (exam was 100 questions I answered in 30 minutes; research paper was 4 pages I did in 2 hours by regurgitating text from my textbook, though not verbatim). In the end, I passed the program with a 3.41 GPA, which is an 89% (so B+). So I am good at school... when I like the subject! Eh, no surprise. I've been that way since I was a kid, but I paid my own way, so family can't complain.
I have been over the moon since I found out the grades! What I have next is an internship. I'm nervous about it because it'll be my first non-retail job if I'm accepted (they're trying to have me start this week), but I'm also excited because I'll be working in a public school (or more than one; I'm uncertain). Which means weekends off! Retail has made hate the weekend! I want to love them again!

This is what I do for my side account.  I've got it for other pets, and for the lab ray.

A minor thing, but I was wondering what others may think, if anything.
Grey faeries are faeries that have lost all their power and beauty, according to Neopedia. I realize beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but:

This is TNT's idea of ugly?!
Even as a kid, I thought grey faeries were pretty. At worst, she looks like someone who rolled out of bed (and didn't take off her make-up the night before) and even then, she's still pretty. I wish I looked that good when I wake up in the morning!
Her dress isn't that bad either. Just take away the patches. Not to mention, for what's presumably supposed to be a ragged dress, it sure highlights her figure. I didn't know rags were form-fitting.
So, at least in my non-expert fashion opinion, the only ugly thing is her wings, and they don't detract from her beauty. They're just there.
Seriously, TNT, get a dictionary! This is not a faerie who's "lost her beauty".

If you are worried about "accidentally" doing dailies on a side account, only log into your main on one browser and log in to your sides on another.
It's pretty easy to avoid in general but that's a good way to separate them to prevent accidents. 

When life feels dull and gray:

Just picture sunny Autumn days:


When you feel trapped and want to feel free

Picture going to the arcade:

Or a shopping spree:

Or maybe just take a nap:

This post is to thank all of my Neopets fam on this forum for helping me out through all of these years and to say that Neopets is my "therapy game" and you are all awesome people. How has Neopets helped you through tough times?

If they worked some kind of lost the plot comment into the next lot of dialogue I'd forgive them everything I think. ? I just know that if I was in charge of this plot I'd need to work some kind of reference to how long it's taking into it, no matter how obscure it ended up being.

You're right.
A picture isn't A word, a picture is worth a thousand words.

I think the title should be changed to "Lyra and the Lost Plot", because, well, ...

Maybe we're supposed to write the ending. That's the final twist to the plot.

Bit of a glaring error in the Neopies voting tonight.
So if I want to vote for Dr. Sloth Lamp should I tick for the name or the picture?? Ditto for the Mutant Wocky Rattle... oy guess I'll just vote for one of the others lol.
