Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Maybe it's my obsession to find a bit of Love in my life, but I've grown obsessed with the Labu necklace!
It's a simple event item, but it just fills me with such virtual warmth that I've become addicted. So much in fact that I've made it a personal quest to obtain at least 100 of these little charms! (Maybe more if I'm able)

I don't care if they never raise in value, I DO NOT PLAN TO SELL ANY OF THEM!

My Labu is not for sell! wink

So far, these are the people who have given me their Labu, and some asking for nothing in return! heart

Ga'dammit! Wasn't I supposed to seek therapy for my Gaian Addiction?
In July 24, I will have stuck by Gaia's high and lows for 2 years now.

Two years man... two years!

I've changed sexes 3 times! Own all the items from jan 04 to today's present date + a JU 03 shirt and an angelic scarf, participated in one group auction and got banned from countless guilds (mostly due to lurking and not posting)

But, what the hell man... what the hell?

I can't quit now... Gaia's in my blood! Pixels have latched onto my neurons, reprograming me to praise Gaia!

I need a 12 step for this addiction. Seriously folks, this is not healthy. xd

*huddles in a corner and rocks slightly mumbling "All hail Gambino!"*

stare
Yeah... It's somewhat happening to me.
I... just sometimes don't feel the same way for Gaia as I did a year ago.
Perhaps my denial over Johnny's death was the glue that held me here. (Don't get me wrong... I'm pleased as piss that Johnny's back! I'll still ocassionally break out in a little giddy dance about it!)

It's not because of the n00bs.
There will always be n00bs.... lots of them.. enough to wallpaper the walls of the Gambino tower, carpet the floors and have enough skin leftover for furnishing and curtains. sweatdrop

Perhaps it's because of my age IRL.
I'm nearing the point where even *I* am going "what the hell are you still doing here?" To quote Danny Glover "I'm too old for this s**t."
Even so, this will definitely not be the reason I'll quit, if I ever do decide to up and leave Gaia! I found some good connections here. I've met several individuals here that make my day quite interesting... in a positive way, and in a WTF kind of way. confused Gaia has actually become a support and a network to me. Most of my friends from college have either moved away or got married so I rarely have contact with them anymore. It's sad, but that's life... it happens. On Gaia, on the other hand, I can always find a person to argue with, to laugh with, to cry with and to joke around with and unlike the real world... age is not always a factor. Some of these people I've stuck with over a year, and I don't regret it!

However Gaia's not my life either, and I need to actively realize I need to pay attention to my own life, rather than my character's. This is one of the reasons I'm lurking now more than posting. In a sense, I'm kinda trying to ween myself away from Gaia. Sure I'll be popping back.. most likely once a month to continue donating to this site (It's provided so much to me, I can't help but repay it in some sense... that and I'm a greedy little donation whore! heart )

In the fear of sounding emo'tistic... I think it'd probably be best for me to fade away, rather than up and announce that I'm leaving. That way, if I'm forgotten or passed over... there are no ill wishes.

Anyway... This is just something I'm feeling right now. Don't worry. Just watch, next week I'll be singing praises to Gaia and swearing up and down that I'll stay until the site crashes permanently! sweatdrop
That's just how I am.

Since I posted here.
I kinda still don't have anything to say.
I dearly miss Johnny.

Ian's got shot as well... and though I feel sad because of it.. it's not as detrimental to me as when Johnny got shot.

Definitely going to send my therapy bills to the Gaia admins....

o/` On another note o/`

Hmm... I definitely see an improvement with my drawings.

Perhaps one day I'll get off my lazy a** and do another auction. It was fun last time. I want to see how far it goes this time.

Woot.

Other than for bragging rights, not much. sweatdrop
Although, I do prefer not to brag about stuff if I can't help it (doesn't mean I don't sometimes do it, just I sometimes prefer not to.)

We'll see how long I continue to stay on Gaia. *scratches a notch on the back of her tablet.* One year....

:+:+:+:+: Confessions of a Spoiled Brat :+:+:+:+:

This will hopefully explain what I mean. stare
Please input.

Thanks.

Well... One month more till my first Gaian anniversary!
I can't believe I spent an entire year here!
Heck, I've spent 2 in Deviant-Art.

Why couldn't I have switched it? gonk

On the one hand, I somehow think I wouldn't have graduated if I had spent all that time on Gaia then as I do now. sweatdrop

On the other hand... When I first started, I hardly posted on Gaia. I donated, yes... but hardly posted. It was actually after the Second Gaian Anniversary that I started to post on a daily basis, practically. Meh well.

I don't know if I'm considered a Newbie. I have been told that oldbies were those from June 04 and up.
I'm July 24, 04.
Am I doomed to be considered an eternal Midbie?
Do I care? No! blaugh

So.... Now that I've reached One year... now what?

I mean, I have no quest. (That's right! I have my Demon Horns and Angelic Pendant now! Much thankies to Korbin who was crazy enough to give me a pair of horns. ) I still have problems with Clyde, I'm still an Avid/Rabid supporter of Johnny. I still have my Sig Banned....

I guess I have another year to find out what the hell I'll be doing in Gaia from now on. xd

PS!
Pay no attention to the girl in the Green Box!
Told ya Clyde hates me!
Eh well, I promised Jas I'd keep it until my anniversary! xd

P.P.S
Bah!
I bought a new hairstyle, but I didn't think Clyde would automatically save your avie once you get it! I lost my greenness. Sorry y'all!

Well, the auction itself went well.
My highest bidder wagered Demon horns +5k!

Seriously though, I never expected it to go that high.

However, Just as I had finished my auction, and completed the drawings promised, my buyer's accoung got permabanned.

Seems her sister was doing something that wasn't too favorable in Gaia's or in society's viewpoint.

Point of story:
No demon horns for me. crying

Eh well. The drawings themselves came out pretty well. If you want to see, they are as follows:
Fullbodied Colored
Fullbodied Penciled
Chibi Colored
Chibi Penciled

I'm none too knowledgable in the ways of coloring, so I think the colored pieces came out pretty good, if I must say so myself.

So what now?
I got 4 commishes to do... afterwards I'm going to pause taking orders and do another Auction. Hopefully this time I'll acquire my quest of Demon horns! domokun

Wish me luck, y'all!
