What happened to those days when people would just plop amazing items in your lap without a word? I mean, half of the things I'm asking for are cheap, anyway. Like black headgear? Cat band?
I shouldn't be complaining, as I'm begging for donations.

(This is my wishlist. Who am I kidding, seriously?)
It's funny, because most people resent my asking for them, all because of this stupid Angelic Sash. I mean, I didn't even want it. I wanted the Devil's Tail, but I always wear it, because I've grown to like it, as a sign of all of my hard work paying off in some way, after six months of hard questing. What really upsets me? Today, I saw a girl who had her First Year Gaiaversary on the fifth of July. My second is coming in October. This girl had the coveted NM Minis that I've wanted ever since I joined, along with a devil's tail, if I remember correctly. I don't understand; is it because I didn't jump on these things right when I joined? That doesn't make sense, as she didn't join even close to when I did.
It all comes down to other Gaians, donations, and friends. The thing is, is my friends always donate when I ask them to, and they're probably getting sick of it. Besides that fact, I would never, EVER consider asking any of them to give me their minis, or their DTs, for free. Not even as a trade for my sash. Never. I'm sick...of wearing them down, and mooching off of them. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth; I hate it.
So I lurk in threads that just waste my money, and bump, and put a smile on, but really...what's all of this pain, competition, and jealousy for? A set of chibi-style pixelated wings to put on my avatar's head.
But that doesn't stop me from wanting them.
