Okay, quick work and personal update and then I'll move onto what I really want to post about.
( On Work )( At Home )Now for the big news. Neopets. I don't post on it very often, because really? It's not a big deal. Seldom does anything really exciting happen there. It's mostly just a way to pass time at work. Still, I'll give you some background info, just because.
I'm currently
tsukinofaerii on Neo. My goal pets are a Fairie Draik, a Baby Lupe and a Fairie Shoyru. Because I'm specific in what I want, I'm going to do it the old-fashioned way - paintbrushes. (Besides, you can't get a Draik from the Lab Ray.) So that's a cool 9 million NP right there. I've got about 1.6m saved, but since I'm doing this more as a distraction than anything else, that number likes to wobble. I also occasionally occupy myself with avatar quests and such, which can also be expensive. For example, I have both Lab Rays. I collected pieces as they were cheap or as I found them, so it wasn't a lot of NP, but that's just an example of how I'm so not goal-oriented. XD I also play the plots when they come out (Altador rocked). Does anyone else think the cybunny in the new Dr. Sloth plot is hot?
So wrong....
Since I have the Lab Ray, I'm going to do sort of a mini-adoption agency thing, starting as soon as the Adoption Agency gets going. I've got a Halloween Cybunny ready to adopt and a Green Ruki who's still being zapped daily. The Shoyru and Lupe are
mine. (ahem) But if you want Buddy or Peasy, drop me a line and we'll arrange something when the adoption agency is back up. Does anyone know what happens to Lab-Zapped Petpets when the pet they're attached to is adopted out? If I can zap petpets to go with the pets, that'd be cool, but they might revert, in which case I won't bother.
Great links for adoption are:

Finally... I
finally got the packrat avatar.
FINALLY. After I loan 1,000 items to someone (oh gods), I'm selling the lot, except for a few things which shall be used for other avatars. And before anyone remarks on the stupidity of that big of a loan without serious collateral, it's being loaned to
ds000 (
deathsshadow000 on Neo). I trust her for some reason. Also, I know where she sleeps. So it's safe. If anyone else is going for the avvy and wants to buy in bulk, comment or neomail me and we'll work out a trade. I'm not interested in turning a profit or breaking even on the cheap things, so I'm sure we can arrange something. A
very few people I might just loan the stuff out to with no collateral. Other people, expect about 100k collateral.
For people who are embarking on the avvy quest and for whatever reason don't want to buy/borrow my stuff, a
very shiny place is

. What makes this site especially purty as far as avvy sites go is that it two relevant links and several sorting methods. Of the links, one checks your Safety Deposit Box for the item and the other takes you to the shop wizard with the item already entered in the search box. How cool is that? Once you get past a few hundred items, its hard to remember what you have and what you don't. Going back and forth between item list, sdb and the wiz is a pain - this site
rocks. It also tells you the approximately what price, so you don't get ripped off. Go forth, my people, and shop.
And this was a long, rambling post on nothing at all really important.
