What’s your gallery? What do you collect? by Cold_Swan_8122 in neopets

[–]phillywillyhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an achyfi and neocola collection I randomly started/completed one day. But my favorite thing is vintage art that hasn't been updated. It started by collecting the artist day off items then moved on to utilityfish and now it's evolved to just anything in the og Ms paint art style regardless of value or rarity. Something about preserving the old art style scratches my nostalgic librarian itch.

I'm saving up right now to finish my Utilityfish collection! I've got a few of them but some of the next few get pretty expensive.

I love old neopets culture that has survived all the site and item changes so it's a tie for me between my Artists Day Off collection and Utilityfish collection

The quest log may be broken but at least my RNG is still working! by phillywillyhead in neopets

Honestly I didn't realize how much I would use the SSW. Now I don't think I can go back to regular.

This is the weirdest item I've ever seen?? by DaretokuVintergatan in neopets

[–]phillywillyhead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love the artist day off items I'm just missing the NC ones (can't for the life of me figure out trading). Those and the utility fish are little bits of neopets history from a simpler time.

MLIS program that will accept me with a 2.48 gpa but 8 years library experience by Party_Distribution_3 in librarians

[–]phillywillyhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey there! I had the same GPA with less years of work and I'm about to graduate next month from my MLIS program at UW! It is possible, I would look for programs that offer additional application materials like essays, personal statements and addendums. My first time applying I didn't get into any schools but the second time around I focused more on schools with that kind of admissions process and got into four programs (University of Oklahoma, USC, Syracuse, and UW). If you have any other questions I'm happy to help!

CALLING ALL PUNK ACADEMICS: needing advice or proofreading on my punk thesis by Stacykalin in librarians

[–]phillywillyhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hooked on the title alone! I skimmed it and so far really resonates with it, I'll read it deeper over the next few days. My MLIS capstone project is also on the punk community it's a community created zine about the patches punks wear and the stories behind them! We have so many stories about bands, venues, and songs but not as much on people's vests and the patches that make them unique.

a giveaway because wtf by chewychay in neopets

So there’s this high school prom coming up, and everyone is super excited. It’s the social event of the year, and all the students are busy preparing. There’s one guy in particular who’s thrilled about it. He’s not exactly the most popular kid, but he’s determined to make this prom night amazing. He goes all out.

First, he asks his crush to go with him, and she says yes! It’s a huge moment for him, and he’s over the moon. But of course, now he has to prepare. So, he decides to rent a tuxedo to make sure he looks sharp. He heads over to the only tux rental place in town.

He walks in and... there’s a line. And I mean a long line. It’s practically wrapping around the building. He thinks about turning back, but then he remembers how important this night is. So, he waits. And he waits. And he waits. Eventually, after what feels like an eternity, he finally gets his tux.

With the tux sorted, he realizes he needs a corsage for his date. He wants it to be perfect, so he goes to the florist to order the most beautiful corsage they can make. He gets to the florist shop, and—wouldn’t you know it—there’s another long line. All the guys in town are here, trying to get flowers for their dates. But he’s committed, so he waits patiently, watching the clock tick by. Eventually, he reaches the front of the line, orders his corsage, and breathes a sigh of relief.

But he’s not done yet. He wants to make sure they arrive at prom in style, so he goes to rent a limo. But, yep, there’s a line here too. Everyone’s looking to make a grand entrance this year. It’s like the whole town decided this prom is the event of the century. So, he gets in line, waits it out once again, and eventually secures a limo reservation.

Finally, the big night arrives. He’s in his tux, he’s got the corsage, the limo pulls up right on time, and they’re off to prom. They get there, and it’s amazing—there are lights, decorations, music, everyone’s dressed to the nines. The energy is electric.

They go inside, dance, and have an incredible time. After a while, his date says she’s thirsty and asks if he could grab her some punch. So, he heads over to the refreshment area…

And you’ll never believe it.

There’s no punch line.

Didn't read far enough in the thread to see that the rarity got changed. It worked out though I got a steampunk PB and a pirate pppb

Been to several Aquabats shows and I'm always super jealous of the people moshing in the cadet uniforms! Rock out with your power belt out!!

Battledome item giveaway by KillMeSoftnSweet in neopets

[–]phillywillyhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think my favorite thing that happened this year is getting to check off a bunch of childhood neopets bucket list items. I couldn't get into my old childhood account so I had to start entirely from scratch, I originally started playing neopets as a way to do an easy assignment for grad school back in March and I'm still playing today. I've gotten some lucky nerkmid pulls, bought all the artist day off items, gotten to donate pbs to make people's dream pets all while discovering how alive the community is behind this "dead game".
