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

I've been putting this list together for a few days now..... Please take no offence if I do not use your full name, or your real name or anything. I just wanted to let people know about all I'm thankful for. There's probably more that I missed too, but this is already a long list! whee Please feel free to leave comments! wink

What (and Who) I'm Thankful For:


I'm thankful for REMD..... You made me feel like I am special, and you helped me to get my SHINY Angelic Pendant. I'm glad that I have gotten the chance to be your friend, and see what a wonderful person you are.

For Polkaroo..... You never let me give up on my trophy, even when I thought that I had no chance.

Cronos AND Polkaroo..... You made me feel that I was not only welcome, but really WANTED.

Cronos..... If someone told me just a few months ago that I would be your friend, I would have thought they were crazy. ME, friends with a Top Fisher, the guy who wore the Candy Striper Helm!? I'm just glad that we ARE friends now. Oh, and, the PM that you sent me on my Gaiaversary meant more to me than any gift could. Thank you for that.

Ariela..... You are always so encouraging to everyone! Your emoticons are only a small part of what makes you memorable.

Bucket..... It is amazing to me that such a small act of kindness (bumping each other's quest threads) could lead to a friendship that has lasted for so long.

Para..... Your guild made it possible for me to meet some of my friends, and to stay in contact with so many others. You have no idea how much it means to me..... I'm still annoyed that you don't want a Christmas present, though xp

Transcendant..... Your contests are so wonderful..... Not only were they fun, but they are where I met most of my friends. Your contests and your guide were what taught me to filter..... I could never have won my trophy if not for your that, and for the friends I made there..... Thank You!

DopplerZero and BlackPidgeot..... Your quests for the Rubyfish masks have been inspirational, it shows to me that anything is possible, even if it seems impossible.

FlygonTamer..... I still remember one of your Flygon friends beating me in the Elite Four! xp You make the most awesome little Pokemon pictures!

Alex..... When I first saw you, I thought that you would be a nOOb because of your name..... I was completely wrong! 3nodding

Magyk..... You spent all your gold to give me a Gaiaversary present, when we barely knew each other, that meant a lot to me.

Pearly and Crush..... You two were just so supportive of me in general, always rooting me on! Thank you.

Transcendant and Maharito (YES, Maharito)..... You inspired me to run my junking contest, and it's been a lot of fun so far!


All the members of the Fishing Fin-atics Guild..... You are all awesome, ya know?

Everyone who is participating in / sponsoring my contest..... I really do appreciate it!

The Top Fishers..... You inspired me to become a better fisher, and a better person.

The Admins and Mods..... You made Gaia such a wonderful place to hang out and make friends, and made the fishing game that we all love.

In particular, Nobara..... I'm sorry you had to put up with so many lousy reports from me.

The members (and captains) of the Pirates Against Flaming Guild..... You tried to make me feel welcome, and I'm sorry that I felt the need to leave. It's not your fault that I left, because you're awesome people! I just didn't feel like I really belonged, it's hard to become a part of something that has been around so long, and with so many members.

Newbies..... It is fun to see new faces around Gaia!

People who help each other, especially those who expect nothing in return..... Even the smallest gestures of kindness can mean so much to someone-- Wishing good luck, bumping a quest thread, complimenting their avatar.....


My Church Choir..... It was my little bit of happiness in times when I had none, and it is still a bit of extra happiness in my life.


My friend Melissa..... She has been there for me since..... Forever, really. Even when I didn't realize it. I think I was 3 or 4 years old when we met.

My friend Lauren..... It's because of her that I know about Gaia (although I've honestly never run into her here) She's like a sister to me. So is Melissa, really, although I don't think they know each other.


My Grandmother..... She's a lot of fun to hang out with (most people can't say THAT about their grandparents), she's huggable, and she makes the best Chocolate Chip Cookies in the Universe! We've gotten a lot closer over the last few months, and I haven't failed to have at least one meal with her a week since the beginning of the summer!

My Mother..... Almost as huggable as Grandma! She buys too much stuff, but I love her anyway.

My Father..... He makes the best food, it's almost like living in a restaurant that almost never makes food I don't like! (hard to do, I'm a picky eater) He's a teacher for a bad neighborhood, and I would say that he's probably the best one in his whole school, and that's not just because I luv him! He loves to talk about his class, and all of the things that are going on at his school. He sometimes has us help him set up for cool projects.

My Oldest Brother..... I like to play video games with him around. I can be sure that if I play a game for long enough, he'll go and look it up on Gamefaqs.com and find all the useful information. He also has a tendency to get obsessed with one game at a time for a long time, it can get kinda annoying sometimes, but it also can be a lot of fun!

My other Brother (E-ko)..... Although you can get really annoying sometimes, I know that it is because you love me and want the best for me.....

My Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins..... I love you all!


Anyone that I might have missed..... I'm sorry, and I'm thankful for you also..... Yes, even if I don't really know you..... Everyone is special somehow, even if it is hard to see sometimes.


Thank God for windy days, for leaves that need to be raked, for lightning storms and snow, for music, for beauty everywhere, for my voice, my eyes, my hair, for my friends, my family, and both my real life community and the Gaia community. These things, and so much more..... They are what makes life worth living!
