I am still a gaian because I need to fill my daily quota of lurking and though I have a facebook account I barely get on there and don't tend to lurk people I know IRL.
Also this place gives me something to do otherwise I'd be in danger of leading the most boring life ever.
I love leaving for a while and coming back to see all the new items.
Gaia has been a source of inspiration for me when I draw and honestly I just love dressing up my avatar.
I've never been one to make friends on this site though.
Boredom. It's been almost 8 years (next month) since I first signed up. I leave for a few months, pop in when I'm desperately bored, and disappear again. Also, nostalgia. I signed up when I was a little kid, so it's like looking at old photographs up in the attic or something. I like to look at what an idiot I used to be. Is that masochistic?
I'm here because it's a habit. It's not as fun as it used to be when I had friends to talk to. Now I spend most of my time lurking/posting in forums and dressing up.
