My name is not Kiss, but I like the word and the connotations that go with it. As people get to know me &my sensuality, they understand why I chose it &for the last four years, I have been and will continue to be Kiss. (which is a long way to say please refer to me as such. ;D)

I am 28 years old, but if you think that makes me too old for Gaia, you might try opening your eyes a bit to other people's hobbies and pasttimes. I am online for much of the day, but that is because I am in a job that allows me to do so. This does not mean I neglect family and friends for Gaia.

I am opinionated. This means I pass judgement &have an opinion usually quickly because I grasp concepts relatively easily. This does NOT mean I hold my judgement against you generally speaking. However, this DOES mean that my opinion changes. Some of my closest friends are people I disliked when I first met. I try to listen to all sides of argument or issue before making a judgement, but often the longer it takes for me to make a decision, the harder it is for others to change it. As long as you are not rude, I'm usually able to agree to disagree.

I am Catholic by choice. I converted in high school. I will not "shove my beliefs down your throat," nor think poorly of you for choosing a different path/religion. I will not talk poorly about your choices, please offer me the same respect. Also, just because I choose to put it out there that I follow a certain path doesn't give you any right to judge my actions. That's between me and God.

I've been on Gaia since late 2OO4. I was gifted a pair of chickie slippers which I sold for several O3 items. I just recently traded most of them for a pair portable headphones. I worked for everything else mostly by myself. Don't bother asking me to donate, I generally choose who I donate to by observation. Appreciation goes a loooong way. I was keylogged once, I know the sob stories, bringing them up makes me uncomfortable and rather cynical. I belive something good will happen if you have the right attitude after being stolen from - but it may not necessarily be on Gaia.

I hang in the Exchange. I don't believe it is better than any other forum, it just happens to be where I fit. I used to hang in the GCD and I still consider it to be a fun place, but my interests and passions have changed and I moved on.

I was banned once, for three days for spam. Let this be a warning: Put more effort than a single emote in your post as a reply and do not post in a misplaced thread, even to tell the OP where it goes. Just report and move on.

I generally comment back but don't be offended if I don't. Sometimes I just don't have anything to say.

I won't ignore you if your avatar is wearing starter clothing, or your signature is full of "I LOVE INUYASHA!!1!11!1!" but realize these are reflections of who you are, much like how you dress and carry yourself off the computer. Not all old members are elitist pricks.
