Whenever I get bored with the forums, I can just go play Word Bump or Slots, and I'm still having fun. I personally like the Slots, just because it's simple and you never know when you'll get lucky! heart

On a different note, something I'd like to incorporate into my journal entries is my artwork. For instance, I make a style of characters called "Chibi Guardians". Here is one I just recently finished today, my character "Minty the Breeze Rider Angel".
Minty the Breeze Rider Angel is Shosei, Lakura's older brother's best friend.
Back when Shosei and Minty were growing up, they were students together at the Angel Academy. After they graduated, they planned to attend the School of Magical Angels to become business partners and open up a Magic Shop in Halo City.
However, it was noted while they were in school that Minty possessed very rare talent in the Wind Arts, and was often excelling at times beyond his professors. Despite his parents wishes, the Heavan Government planned to remove Minty from the Angel Academy, and enlist him directly into the military's front lines.
Minty was passing by the Dean's office while he was telling his parents the news. Minty then proceeded to run away, so he wouldn't have to go into the army.
Shosei had heard Minty was mising, and knew exactly where he had gone to.
He followed him, and tried to convince him not to run away, but Minty was dead serious on never returning until the war between Heavan and the Underworld was over.
So Shosei helped hide Minty in a place where no one would find him...
...all these years later, the war is still silently trudging on, and Lakura, Shosei's older brother has been charged to protect Zweizi for a while now.
However, when their enemies of the Underworld release the seal on the forbidden Wind Dragon, and send him after Zweizi to steal his Heart-Soul, Shosei knows there is only one Angel strong enough to defeat the Wind Dragon. So he brings Minty out of hiding.
For defeating the Wind Dragon, and putting him back under his seal, the government of Heavan pardons Minty for avoiding their enlistment, and lets him go back to Angel Academy to finish his training.

Side Notes:
As you can see, Minty has multi-colored hair. This is because he was born with the hair color of teal, and this is his "Beginner Appearance". A beginner appearance is the way an Angel looks before they've gone through training and fully matured. As well as their hair changing color, when an Angel Cadet graduates from the Academy, they also gain their Angel Wings (as you can tell by his bare shoulders, Minty doesn't have his wings).
This lack of wings would have debilitated most Angels, but since Minty was an exstremely talented Wind Angel, he could just summon winds to take him where he needed to be.
In the time Minty spent alone in hiding, he was living in an uncharted area of the "Wind Realm" heavans. The winds were thought to be too strong for any being to inhabit, but Minty lived there. While there, he tamed the elemental wind spirits called the "Breezes" and he can summon them to ride upon or to fight for him.
**Also, this is one of my favorite Angels. I love the look, and I think he has the most extensive backstory so far out of all my Angels.**

Well, that was my first journal entry. Hope this gives you an idea of how I'm creative, and I hope it was a good introduction to my Gaia Journal.
Hope to update soon! biggrin
