Welcome to my Quest Thread!
Thanks for stopping by!
I'm Anjoulie, your delighted host.
(This has become a bit wordy. If you just want to know what I am questing for, please skip ahead to the third post.)

I have been around Gaia for a year and a bit ... but I've never quested for anything - at least not in the way most people seem to do.
When I joined, I made a list of all the items I liked. Then I started following the price changes on these items, while I was slowly gathering gold, and bought things from the list whenever I saw something for a good price (and had the gold). I still keep adding to this list and removing items I obtain. (I'm not going to inflict the full list on you, don't worry.)
So you can imagine there was an element of randomness to what entered my inventory.
Nevertheless, I dressed my avatar with what I, more or less, found in there - and I never thought it looked bad.
Only there are a few items in my inventory that I haven't worn yet because my inventory was lacking something to wear them with. This is where I had the dangerous idea of using tektek to see if I could come up with something that would match one of these items.
The first outfit that I came up with like that contains an item that I personally find ridiculously overpriced. (I'll spare you the picture of that for now. ^^)
My sanity told me that I cannot possibly quest for that.
But then my sanity must have taken a break when a few rogue neurons of mine came up with the idea:
"I wonder whether I can make a cool avatar in brown ..."
What I came up with then just wouldn't go out of my head (and bookmarks) and friends of mine liked it and sugested I quest for it - because, obviously, it contains a few items that I don't have yet. Some of them are not quite cheap, sadly - though not nearly as ridiculously overpriced as the one I mentioned above.
So this is why, finally, I've decided to put up a quest thread and see whether this will help in any way, because I keep staring at these (and other) things in the market as they keep rising in price, which in turn keeps me from buying them.
I'll probably keep buying random unrelated things from my list when I see them for cheap. 'Side quests', if you will.
However, I'd never spend gold that was given to me for a different purpose than what was intended for.
You're welcome to stick around, watch my snail-like progress or even speed me up, if you'd like to contribute towards my goal(s).
That would be very nice, but it's in no way expected.
You can also just keep me company, let yourself be entertained by my silliness, random things I may post and whatnot.
As for real-time encounters, my favorite flash habitat is zomg, where I can often be found on the beach, digging for gold. ^^
