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

eek Squeaky's had quite an out of avi experience since she last wrote in her journal...

I have been An Owned Squeaky and Squeaky The Art Whore.

I think I liked being an art whore best of the two cause then I didnt feel the need to quest for items so much...just kept chatting and gaining gold for it...I never ran short of gold to buy art that way but I missed all of the friends I hadnt seen since I left the exchange a while ago.

I would see some of them occasionally while strolling through towns, or playing slots in the casino, and very rarely found them in the R&C forum....

Then came "The Day". The day I realized that if I didnt have friends to share the art with...there was no point in buying so much..

So I started buying art of me and friends or just art of them...It was satifying for awhile...but then I realized the true problem.

I missed the exchange!
All of the people and their lives that I had gotten involved in and all the long conversations we could have about everyday stuff...and of course...I missed seeing an actual benefit to having gold was that the fact was ya could make more gold by trading items and smaller amounts of gold. pirate

Gaia isnt for friends or for pixels...

It is for BOTH.

You can have gold and have friends who dont envy it...

Just like you can have friends that someone else cant have just because they have more gold than you do.

Merry Late Christmas Ya'll and Happy New Year. heart heart heart
