Poor you. :( Good luck. :P

lavalem 01-12-2008 11:23 AM

yeah i dont know what i will buy but i wanna buy myself something pretty ^^

Silenia 01-12-2008 11:24 AM

Yeah, but that's quite normal. I mean, who would want to buy herself something ugly? :P

ToriKat 01-12-2008 11:24 AM

@Arie: I have a couple of Gaia commissions to finish up. xD I want to get the sketches ready for whenever I can scan them in and CG them.

@Silenia: Hehe, thanks. So far I'm holding up just fine. But I do think I want to get rid of my eight hour shift tomorrow...*sighs* I've been working every day this week. ^^;

lavalem 01-12-2008 11:26 AM

@Silenia so true that would just be silly

Silenia 01-12-2008 11:26 AM

Like I said, poor you. :( But at least you get paid for it. I don't get paid for going to school. :P
I don't sleep much either. Somewhere between three and five hours a night most often.
At the weekends I sleep a bit better, about seven hours a night but still... It's not really much. :P

Edit: I know. But there are enough silly people on this planet. :P Buying something they find ugly - just because it's fashion.

ToriKat 01-12-2008 11:30 AM

@lavalem: xD Since there's so many pretty things...I can understand your confusion. 8D I'm at a loss at which gloves I should get. Hmmm...

@Silenia: *nods* I mainly took this job so I could get paid while I studied. xD I stay up late...usually till around three anyways. But now I'm just getting burned out. *sighs* I had training AND work the past week. >_<;

Wow, only three to seven hours? o_o;; *offers you something comforting to help you sleep* Warm milk? ...That never works on me though. 8D

Silenia 01-12-2008 11:33 AM

I am used to it. Even though I'm only fifteen, I have had this amount of sleep for the last... Hm, let's think... four years I think.
And it's better than it was last summer. There have been times when I slept less than 12 hours in a whole week. I've been awake for fifty-three hours once. I can tell you, that was no fun.

Arie 01-12-2008 11:33 AM

So everyone here came from Gaia? xD
I haven't met one who hasn't yet @[email protected]

Silenia 01-12-2008 11:35 AM

Yes, but Gaia has 1,249,443,022 articles posted with 11,032,772 registered users. Not so strange most people here have been a member of Gaia. :P

Edit: 28 new members in less than three minutes. ¬¬ That's exactly why I don't visit Gaia that often anymore.

Arie 01-12-2008 11:37 AM

XD
It's so popular these days..with hackers lurking in every corner T~T

ToriKat 01-12-2008 11:38 AM

@Silenia: Wow...your experiences sound like what I went through during...every finals period. *coughs, is terrible with stress sometimes!* I couldn't sleep and would pull crazy all nighters. >_>; One week...I think I got about six hours of sleep. Really can't recall. But once my finals were over, I passed out for almost a day. xD

@Arie: I'm on Gaia. ^^ I wasn't anywhere near as active on it as I am here. 8D

Silenia 01-12-2008 11:40 AM

Yeah, I don't really sleep 'enough', but I'm so used to it that I actually have problems with sleeping more. I keep waking up every 30 minutes, etc. if I try to sleep more. :P

And I don't feel tired anyway. I don't even feel tired anymore if I don't sleep a whole night. :P

EDIT: currently Gaia gets a new member about every five or six seconds.

ToriKat 01-12-2008 11:42 AM

@Silenia: *pats* As long as you're taking care of yourself. ^^

*wishes I still have that kind of stamina*

As for Gaia...my gosh, how many of them are actual new people...versus bots and mules? @[email protected];

Arie 01-12-2008 11:43 AM

Well since I got hacked a few days ago, I've decided to move here xD
It seems nice @[email protected]
The items own. x3

Silenia 01-12-2008 11:44 AM

I think about half of the new people - or more are mules and bots.

Taking care of myself... Well, I've got those damn problems but I guess I can say it goes better than last two years.

ToriKat 01-12-2008 11:45 AM

@Arie: Hacked? D: That's awful! I'm paranoid when I'm on Gaia because of all the horror stories I've heard. ._.; But I really need to finish what I've promised. ^^;;

Hehe, I agree! I would love to expand my inventory more...just need to finish questing. ^^

Arie 01-12-2008 11:48 AM

I lost about 13million worth
When I found out I got hacked, I started a giveaway thread and gave away about 5mil's worth of items and gold ^^
Sadly, the hacker was a friend of mine.
Or used to be. Dx
What some people would do for pixels..

Silenia 01-12-2008 11:49 AM

Yeah, the items here are nice. I keep having this urge to give away my gold to people that are questing. I gave Bibliotheek almost 210 gold a few days ago so she could finish her quest. But if I keep doin this I will never be able to buy things myself.

At Gaia I owned a Giveaway for a quite long time. Gave away a gift of the goddess, quite some other things, over 100K in pure, two or three complete X-mas 2K5 sets, halloween 2k6 set, other stuff. In total it would be worth about... I don't know, 500K+ now, I think. It has been there for almost half a year. When I gave it all away it was worth less, ofcourse, but still... I gave away much.

Edit: Gaia - 8 minutes -> 124 new members. ¬¬

Arie 01-12-2008 11:52 AM

That's really nice!
It's good to see there are kind people on Gaia too.~

ToriKat 01-12-2008 11:53 AM

@Arie: D: That's terrible...! That's nice that you were so generous to others.

Man, seriously. >_<; They're just pixels...yet people are willing to backstab each other for them. I know I can trust my best friend with my accounts though. We share everything anyways.

@Silenia: Wow, you're so giving. ^^ I never had much on Gaia...because I just wasn't active.

And I agree, it's nice to hear the good side of people on Gaia...and on Mene! <3

Silenia 01-12-2008 11:55 AM

Yeah, there are still nice people there, but so many spam, advertisements, bots, people wanting cybersex, viagrabots, scammers, hackers, flamers and trollers.

Arie 01-12-2008 11:55 AM

It feels good to give rather than take
I swear the hacking didn't make me as angry as I thought n__n

Pixels are worthless, but I guess there will always be greedy people who are willing to do whatever it takes to get their hands on 'em.

Silenia 01-12-2008 11:56 AM

Arie: that's the problem, pixels aren't worthless anymore. Even though it's not allowed, people keep selling them on ebay and other sites - getting quite alot of money for it.

ToriKat 01-12-2008 11:59 AM

@Silenia: I used to talk in a small guild...just a random hangout. But sadly, the owner decided to close it. ._.;; It was one of my two safe havens on Gaia.

@Arie: That's good to hear. ^^ I've seen many people go on rampages when they got hacked. I mean...I'll admit that I would be crushed if I got hacked. Everything I own I had to draw so much art to get. >_<; *sighs* But it's not the end of the world. ^^
