Months and months ago I felt like taking a break from Gaia. This was just because I didn't have a place to hangout really. I was homeless.
Then I discovered a great thread full of great people and that motivated me to stay. I had a home.
More recently that place isn't very homish anymore. It seems that everything posted there is just to complain or moan about everything. Frankly, it annoys me when people just moan moan moan. (I'm allowed to get annoyed, as I moan about things too. But I also try to be positive about things.)
Months ago I applied for the Moderator Application thingy, being the typical pessimist I am I didn't think I'd get in. But to my surprise, my application was actually accepted. I know, shocking isn't it wink
I didn't tell anyone because its just the first stage of the process. I wanted to really keep it private, at least until I'd completed the first stage of the training. Of course, some people I did tell, just because I was a little excited. Some found out on their own (you know who you are).
But what put me off just saying I got in was the attitude from the people in the thread I'd thought of as home. Frankly, some comments these people made just ruined it for me. This is a good thing, I love gaia and I hope I make it through so I can help in a new way. So I guess I kept it private because I didn't want some people to ruin it for me.
Now there are threats of leaving from some people. It is sad really when peopel want to go, but personally I've no patience for threats. We see them in the SF all the time, you're not happy so you're going to leave. It sucks, but do you have to bring down the atmosphere of the whole place?
I've recently introduced a friend to Gaia, someone I know in real life and she's hooked. She's part of the reason I'm sticking around, because she's found the fun in the place. Perhaps its time to leave the old hangout and find that lost fun. Because all that's left is a bunch of self-entitlement and moaning. Its just bad for the skin.
There you go Dari and Tainted, no more ninja ninja
EDIT: I forgot to mention, I'm now a bunny until I save enough for my dream item. So I've traded most of my items to my storage mule (Which is unknown, thank goodness). I've also got a male and female mule I post on.
EDIT2 (24/05/200 cool : Yeah, this came out a bit ranty lol. It was just a bad day wink Take it with a cup of salt.

XD That can go too many ways, well not really wink Either way, again congrats and good luck as I'm sure you may need it, or not. Some take the position well while others it's a struggle.
