Among others. If you've made it this far, I think you deserve to hear a little more about me than vague generalisations.
I value loyalty, honesty, and civility above all things. I try to be upfront and honest with those who matter to me. Sometimes that results in feelings being hurt, because I don't believe that friendship is an excuse to become someone's yes man.
I'm married, female, and live in Australia. But I'm originally from California. Nikki is not my real name, and if I know you well enough, maybe I'll tell you what it actually is.
I quit Gaia a few years back, thinking I would never return, and gave away everything of value on my account. However, I found myself pulled back in, so when I came back, I worked to recover what I had and then some, just without using real money that time. I took a long hiatus after some months, but again found myself pulled back in. This time, though, since I don't have much drive to make gold to buy items for myself, I'm seriously considering giving away most of the gold I make to others.
Most of my time on Gaia is currently spent lurking in my subscribed threads, the Aquarium forum, or the Charity/Quests forum. I'm older than the average Gaian, and have very little but contempt for people who act foolish and self-absorbed.
I'm an impulsive donator which means that occasionally I have bouts where I feel the intense need to just give things to people. Usually, I try to control this by adopting charities or personal quest threads I stumble across but it still happens occasionally. I can't stand people who beg for stuff and a surefire way to not ever get stuff from me is to beg for it, particularly if I don't know you at all.
I am mostly the positive things on my list, but sometimes the negatives. If you push my buttons on the right issues, I can lose my temper quite quickly. At my core, I'm a very logical person, and find it easy to understand the perspectives of most people. I'm told this makes me very understanding, and nice. When I can't understand the logic of something or someone, I get annoyed quite quickly, especially if logic is not present at all.
If none of this has turned you off yet, I'm probably interested in getting to know you better. Give it a shot.
