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

As you can tell by the title, I find this interesting enough to share with all of you. Well just those who read it. I don't want to have a hundred of these telling my life story, I have a real journal that I've been neglecting lately. But with this, it's more aimed at my relationship with this web site. And as of this moment of writing this, I've been coming back for four full years now. That's a long time. I'm still surprised that this web site is still up. Yet this is what I want to talk about.
I joined Gaia Online four years ago when I was in Colorado, with my father at a grocery store. We were in the check out section when I saw Gaia Cash cards and took a look at them. It seemed interesting. Being able to talk to people I don't even know is always fun. You can make new friends that way and it opens up the rest of the world for us for allowing us to talk to anyone from anywhere. So I was hooked.
Upon reaching our hotel room, I hopped on the lab top and opened up the web site. I created an account, but it wouldn't let me create it because I wasn't 13 yet. So I faked my birthday so I was 13 when I was only 12 and was thrown into a whole new world.
I was never one for Anime or Manga, there's just too much of it out there to be kept up with anything, so I never really tired caring. But back in my day we had a place called The Cinema. There you could watch movies with people on Gaia. I never watched a movie though, I just fooled around in the lobby. Of course I would goof around there.
But I decided to venture on into Gaia, because I limited myself to just the cinema to hang out and talk to people. I decided to join Rally's with a few people in them and talk to them. I was always scared to join a room and still am to this day. But maybe I'll do it again. Maybe. Also I never raced cars. I just talked to people. I'm that guy.
I got scared of the Rally's, so I decided to join Gaia Towns. And I still do. And I love it when winter comes around and I can throw snowballs at random people. Or summer and I can shoot my water gun. Adventures were also happened in there, and still are to this day. Just not as much. Maybe this weekend I'll come back and join you guys. Maybe.
But my problem with Gaia is that they have all these things for us to do but I never do them. So I get bored. Nor do I want to do some of them. And my friends are strangers to me now. They're never on anymore. I have a friend who hasn't been on since 2009. It's kinda sad to go to her profile and see I'm the only one still looking at it. It's purgatory.
Chances are I'll still come back. Even for a little bit. I'm gonna keep on coming back until I feel like I've had my times worth here. It hasn't happened yet. I'll make sure to tell you guys when I say goodbye forever.
