At first, I thought Gaia was a really stupid site. I mean, it wasn't anything flashy like Neopets. My friend convinced me to join, though, as she said it would be something fun for us to do together. So, I did. I joined waaay back in '03, though, not on this account.
I was on it for a little while and it slowly began to fuel one of my passions, writing. I started joining all kinds of threads and making all kinds of characters for these threads. Too soon I became a pretty decent role player. I realized that I really liked the site because of this, and stayed to watch the website turn into what it is today.
I made so many friends, as well as enemies, but still remain ever so faithful for GaiaOnline. I love this site and will be on it until Gaia shuts down, or I die. This site is just...something for everyone to do...even though it doesn't have the Love Building anymore. Haha.
Viva la Go-Gaia!
