Quote of the Week
Clouds of sand lash through the sky above, staining most of it orange and a few scarce threads of it red. For the first time, I feel like something I'm going through could be a dream in my dreamless life. So I blink once. Twice. Three times.
Flaunt Your Nerdiness
I’ve compiled a simple list of items to help you get started. My theme this week is geeky chic. The title of nerd was once a shameful nickname, but now it is worn as a badge of pride. The nerd subculture has grown tremendously over the years. Now your Neopet can also revel in their own nerdiness with a wide array of wearables. Perhaps you can even sport matching pocket protectors, eh? |
10 Bouquets 
There are plenty of bouquets around Neopia and they can be suitable for occasions of all kinds. But with such a wide choice there are many Neopians who get stuck with fear that they may accidentally choose a bouquet inappropriate for the occasion. And if you do that then you know for sure you won't be receiving an invitation for the latest Neopian Ball. However this guide is here to help you to make the perfect bouquet choice |
 | Ixi Day Book Reviews
Over the years, we have read a LOT of books, so she and I decided to start reviewing them. This time we decided to review books in honor of Ixi Day (11th day of Swimming), so we invited _Ixiish_, my Ixi, to join us in the book reading and reviewing fun! |

"Pixie the Ixi" by Username
Deep into the woods of Meridell, far past anywhere Illusen would dare send a devotee, traveled a pair of Neopets on their own quest. The slower of the pair, was an elderlyboy Ogrin who huffed and puffed. He could be heard from miles away whacking hanging branches off of the trial. The pastel Blumaroo who walked a good five paces ahead looked back in mild impatience every few minutes. |
"Close Your Eyes and Look to the Skies" by Username
“If you close your eyes and look to the skies, you may catch a glance of her.” That was what Ger’s father had always told him anyways. It wasn’t until the Baby Gelert grew up and told his friends this that he realized what a paradox it was. Close your eyes and look to the skies?! You can’t do both. |
"By the Sun's Hand" by Username
The last stray beams of moonlight filtered through the thick fog that hovered over the Deserted Fairground, which was anything but. Shrieks of not feat but laughter sounded through the well-kept cobwebs of the musty stands. |

 Architecture of Neopia: Altador
To a scholar of Architecture, Altador is without a doubt the pre-eminent land in Neopia. The prevailing style is known as “classical”. For this reason, I ventured to the ancient land where the sultry evening streets are alive, with warming smells and crackling fires heating takeaway speciality hot dogs and fancy fig pastries. The architecture of this realm is often overlooked in favour of the annually held Altador Cup.

 The Fire Within: Part Seven
“I intend to destroy Moltara City, the surface lands, even the space station and above. All the way to the top if I must. The purity of the core must be kept.”

 Hot Snow Soup
“Great! Aaren is learning how to be a good friend…but he still isn’t comfortable around others." “It doesn’t come naturally to everyone, you know.”
