PLEASE VOTE FOR MARILYN MONROE!
So many are commenting on my Marilyn Monroe avatar; please go into the avatar arena to vote on her if you like here so much! 3nodding The link is above and I would REALLY appreciate it.
Yes a Marilyn Monroe avvie won before but.. it was a MAN sweatdrop I did her "correctly", as someone in the arena said, and I believe Marilyn deserves better than to be portrayed as a man!
Thank you.

I feel like because I've been on Gaia for so long (since July 2003; a few months after it opened) and I've done so much that I could write a biography. A Gaian biography... yeah...
I'm trying to get more intergrated into Gaia. I am an "oldbie" (god, I hate that word) after all and I yet hardly know anybody. I've always kind of kept to myself.
Well... that's not entirely true. In late 2003/early 2004, I began a guild called S.T.A.R. (I forget what that stood for). It was a guild where all the members put a tiny image of a star in their signature, which was actually a link to our guild thread. Our aim by showing these stars was to show our support for other Gaians and help out where ever needed. A newbie, for example, could see the star and see "Oh! They can help me!", click on it, and we would help them in whatever way we could: by donating clothes, money or just offering help. The memberlist grew pretty big, and a little while after the guild feature came out (before, we were just a thread in the guild forum), we all pooled our money and bought a guild for 20k. It started to fizzle out and a little over a year after I started it, I closed S.T.A.R. for good. It was a really good idea, I think, but I don't think people took enough interest in it.
That's the problem with Gaia today -- how unwilling the people are to help. Sure, you'll get your odd good Gaian, but I find they are rare. But, that's a whole other topic!
Anyway, after the close of S.T.A.R, I took a much needed breather from Gaia. When I came back (or just before I left, I can't remember) I began a program called "PM Pals", where I set people up with friends they could PM. Or, users could look through the user profiles I had in the thread and randomly PM them if they wished. It was basically just a friendship service. I never got more than 20 members, I don't think, and although people were interested in it they didn't seem THAT bothered on joining.
But now, apparently its a trend to ask for random PMs? sweatdrop Go figure!
So, yeah... I came back to Gaia after lurking for a long while, but this time I didn't really start anything of my own. Instead, I thought I would try and help out with what already existed. Enter: the Gaia Towns forum.
I am not a admin, mod or even a helper, but I am one of the (few) users who likes to watch over a particular forum. In this case its the Towns forum, because thats my favorite feature of Gaia, apart from the donation items. It does get a bit tedious repeating the SAME ANSWERS to the SAME QUESTIONS day after day... but thats what I'm used to. I love helping people - as you can see from my Gaian 'extra curricular activities' 3nodding I've always loved to help people.
The other day, to combat the repetition issue in the Towns forum, I created a FAQ titled, "So, you want a home in the towns?". I really hope people will read it!
What else about me: I love donating and all the donation items. Kicking myself for selling a December '03 (Angelic Scarf) donation item for REALLY CHEAP back in the day, but basically every oldbie does that wink
