Welcome to Yoshi's Island!
The Goal: This is a Quest Thread to help me along the way to completing my second and final goal on Gaia. I've been around for so many years here and Gaia has been all-around great to me. I want to be able to turn this thread into a charity once I'm finished, so really any help is appreciated. The sooner I finish with this, the sooner I can achieve that goal and start pumping out Gold and items for people.
The Story: Well, I remember when a friend of mine came to tell me that some people he knew were in on this up-and-coming forum site where people could hang out and make friends online. This was a long time ago, but he told me to watch it and make sure that I signed up when the site came out. So of course, I wasn't so sure about it until I looked it up and saw these little avatar people (which was really the thing back then as little kids) and I decided I wanted in. So when it came out, my friend and I joined the little site and took part in its little activities. Oh but when they introduce that collectible item and how you could mail in to get it... man did I want it. So I went and ordered two- one for myself and one for my friend. When I got the message giving me the Thank-You Envelopes, I was confused. Of course, being the silly littl'n I was back then, I thought the Halo was supposed to be right there and I got upset. When I told my friend, he laughed at me and told me to click on it and open it. (I felt so stupid xD) So anyway, he declined my offer so I was left with one of the envelopes and the Angelic Halo. After that, I only ordered three more items via the mail: The OMG, Golden Laurels, and Shadow Spirit. (I'm obsessed with the little devils, as you may have noticed in my signature.) Well, turns out That around '06/'07 I fell victim to a little bout of hacking that was going around and lost my stuff. The worst part was that Gaia couldn't give me back my account because all of the information was changed. I didn't take that so well, but after I lost that account I made a new one, which would be this one. I wanted to get my name back, but that took a while. So, at least I have that now! ^^ Anyway, I worked my way back up to be able to buy Shadow Spirits, the OMG, and some Ancient Katanas with the Gold I was saving up through fishing. I still never managed to catch up to the inflating prices on those Angelic Halos, though. Oh well, so now I'm trying to buy the last two items I lost in my earlier incident, along with some nifty new ones they came out with and end it there. Once I can get my hands on these items, Gold will be irrelevant and I can move on to creating a Charity Thread.
The Man With the Plan: Hi there! I'm Yoshi. At least, that's what everyone calls me. I'm a simple guy for the most part. I don't mind people stopping in to chat or anything, whether that would be on my profile or my PMs or my threads. I'm pretty laid-back and all, so I don't think anyone will have problems. I'm a big fan of roleplaying on here, although I will decline to do so out-of-text. So uh, LARP... not a thing. *shrugs* It's just not my style. I love to write and I'm working on a few novels, although I had to put a couple on the back burner since I'm on a streak with a specific one right now. I work, it's a thing. I job hunt, that's a thing. I look forward to going back to college when I can afford to (Already started that nest egg 3nodding ). I have a whole slew of things I do on a day-to-day basis, so I can be pretty busy. If you see me online, chances are I'm going to be AFKing this thread while roleplaying. If you want to chat, feel free to! You can quote me or PM me for the quickest responses. I promise I'm not mean, so don't be shy! ^^ Anyhow I guess that's enough on me. I'll be prodding around this place for a lot of the time I'm online.
The Main Problem: I'm absolutely terrible with layouts and have no idea how to make them work, so unfortunately my posts and threads tend to look a little... lacking. sweatdrop I'd love this to look nice (not immediately, but at least before it turns into a charity) and it'd be swell if I could get some pointers/help on that.
Well, thanks for reading/participating and have a great day!
Cheers,
-Yoshi
