Hello everyone & welcome to The Watermelon Charity!
For those of you who don't know me, I'm Trixelle - though I usually go by Trixie - and the owner of this wonderful charity.

It only takes a seed - The story of how this charity came to be:

In case you may not know, all great charities start somewhere. A name. I wanted something creative, clever, fun - and something to catch other Gaian eyes. Summer was approaching, and watermelon sure sounded delicious at the time. I thought I could have some fun playing with the words associated with watermelon, summer, and such. The idea of having watermelon-themed avatar art also came to mind and having various pieces featured on the front page. That was when the Watermelon Charity was born.

Once I had chosen the name, it was time to design the thread's layout - which I chose a light pink & green theme. When the charity was set in place, I finally opened it on June 11, 2007...only to find out I had my first 'lurker' - Shimo Kousetsu, part of the insanity crew, waiting to make that first post. Since then, my insanity crew & bumpers have increased in numbers, and I must say, I could not have gotten this far without them. They have helped me make this charity very inviting & a friendly place to be, and I will always remember the good times we have had in, and with, this charity.

Ah, yes. Watermelons & bats. This was all started by our very own Chia - now known as Aori.
Where it started . . .
chiafoxgal
So I was talking to my sis in the kitchen and she got out a bat. I was just like "wtf?!" and then she ran away and said "Back off! It's MY watermelon!"
chiafoxgal
I did read them and I got way excited about the first line. because this weekned my sister and I talked about hitting a watermelon with a bat at our picnic and yeah...so I got carried away. I am so sorry for not fully reading. >.< I shall be shammed!!

(I'm being way dramatic. but the story it true! ^_^)

In a message to the charity mule . . .
Aoridemonchild
*jumps around*

ohmigosh!! I was at the store today and saw watermelons. I totally thought of y'all. and hitting them with a bat. haha.


Meloni Goodness
This is where I will keep the funds for this charity.

Tip: Please read all the rules & the latest announcement.
Who knows, you might find them pretty useful.

I DO donate randomly.
Please do not PM and beg me to donate "randomly" to you.
It kinda defeats the purpose, you know?

Plus, I know you guys love me; but, I really prefer not to have my Inbox spammed with such messages.

Mon Jun 11, 2007 1:32 pm - The Charity is officially opened! =]
Wed Jun 13, 2007 3:05 pm - Are you bored? (Details under the post labelled: My Quest). ^_^
Please Read:Wed Jul 5, 2007 7:35 pm - I probably will not be on as often as I usually am to send trades, PMs, and what not (Since I will be away on a mission trip to Arizona for a couple of weeks). However, I might try to get on occasionally just to say hello and see how things are going. Oh yeah, while I'm gone, feel free to stay and chat in the thread as well. I see no reason why I shouldn't allow you to do so. : )
I'll miss ya'll much; but, I shall return sooner than you can say "Supercalifragilisticespialadocious"...eh, or not.
(Ack, that hurt my brain trying to spell that, which I hope I spelled it right. ).
Mon Jul 23, 2007 9:20 am - I'm back eveyone! (Did you miss me? ). I would've been back on sooner; but, we had some stuff to take care of, such as unpacking, cleaning the house, and all that fun stuff (lol xD).
Mon Jul 30, 2007 8:35 pm - This charity has been added to THE List of Charities, thanks to THE Santa Claus. : )
Mon Aug 6, 2007 12:40 pm - ATTENTION ALL STAFF MEMBERS! The charity has been entered in THE Charity Music Fest.
Mon Sep 10, 2007 3:56 pm - New Layout (sorta). I've reorganized the charity posts layout to make it easier for you guys to find things in this charity. If you feel I may have left something out, please let me know and I'll add it in it's proper section. Also added the 'Staff' section as well.
Thu Oct 4, 2007 5:49 pm- New Announcement! See the post under My Quest section for details.
Wed Oct 17, 2007 9:40 am - Added a few additional questions to the form to remind you of a few things. ; )

Thu Mar 6, 2008 5:26 pm - In case you haven't seen the invite on page 391, this charity has been asked to join THE Charity Easter Hop.
I shall be posting a bit more info about it shortly in the last post on the first page. Update: Sat Apr 26, 2008 12:04 pm - Well, this thread's one year anniversary is approaching, which is quite exciting to me, and I never would've thought it'd be this successful. However, I cannot take all the credit for its success. *many thanks to my mods/bumpers/regulars/etc* As this charity's anniversary approaches, I have had thoughts about redesigning the thread and giving it a fresh look. However, I do not feel I can do it just with colored text & a few pictures. My request, if anyone would like to make some avi art for the thread, it would be greatly appreciated. Who knows, you could see your art featured on the charity's front page in some way or another. : )
Mon May 26, 2008 3:00 pm - Well, it's finally here - the new layout! Yay! : ) I have made quite a few improvements on the thread's layout, and added a couple of things. New phrase, new contest, new donatee list, new quotes, new working links for the banners - I realize they probably weren't working for a while, so make sure you update them . . . and, an art challenge. Oh, to my insanity crew, if you would like to update you Bios, please feel free to do so and PM them to me. Thank you. :3
Wed Jun 11, 2008 12:13 pm - The thread celebrates it's one-year anniversary! Yay! *throws confetti* Ha ha, you should be excited Fenrir. lol xD
Btw guys, don't forget about our contests. If the slots fill up, please don't let this discourage you. We can always always do another one. : )
Wed Jun 18, 2008 9:30 am - Hey guys, by this time I will be on the bus heading to camp - and should be there around 12ish. While I am gone, I will not be able to send or confirm donations until late Sunday evening/night or sometime Monday. Ha ha, do not let this keep ya'll from having fun in the charity though. ;3
Sun Jun 22, 2008 4:00 pm - Trixelle is back from camp, which she may be posting pictures of later. However, as of right now, she is quite googled - or tired. 'tis a word the counselors used around the campers instead of tired. By the way, camp was awesome, B A N A N A S ! Ha ha, camp joke.
Thu Jun 26, 2008 7:48 pm - Possible roleplay coming soon - hosted by the charity. Your input would be greatly appreciated as far as making it a roleplay within the charity, or creating a separate thread and link it to the charity. A new poll is set up, so go vote on it. As of right now I'm working on a few pre-made characters. : )
Sat Jul 5, 2008 10:30 pm - Trixelle has started working on the thread layout for the roleplay. :3
Sat Jul 26, 2008 10:00 pm - The charity has been invited, and will be joining, yet another charity event - THE Charity Fair. The link is in the first post ( in case you missed it ), and directly below that is an item this charity will be auctioning during the event. :3

Mon Oct 27, 2008 10:40 pm - Attention Insanity Crew, please read the announcement on page 654. Thank you. :3
Thu Jun 11, 2009 12:13 pm - The Watermelon Charity celebrates it's 2nd anniversary! =D Sure, there were no real festivities due Trixelle attending a couple Summer 1 classes, but it's still awesome that the charity's been around this long.
Mon Jul 20, 2009 11:31 am - So Trixelle's finished with Summer classes & now working a little bit more. She also has only 9 more days to be 20 & 12 more days until she leaves for Moldova! =D

Name: Trixelle - Owner

Bio: 'ello guys, I'm Trixelle, the owner of this wonderful charity. I've been on Gaia since October 'o5 & I'm a twenty one year old. I won't reveal my real name, but you can always call me Trixelle, Trixie, Trix, Elle, or anything that's appropriate. :] When I'm not on Gaia, I'm either at school, hanging out with my amazingly awesome friends, learning the guitar, and/or singing. I enjoy watching movies, whether it's with family or friends. My current favorite: Leap Year or The Proposal - this is subject to change. ;] Anything else you want to know, just ask. :]

User Image
Name: Meloni Goodness - Charity Mule

Bio: Hey guys, I'm Meloni Goodness, the mule of this awesome charity. You may call me Meloni or Mel if you think my full name is too long for you to say. I am Trixelle's alter ego, whatever mood she's in at the moment, I'm the complete opposite - though I usually tend to be the more mature one...and right now Trixelle's glaring at me. So I better stop while I have the chance.
See ya around!

Name: autumn_x_mist - Insanity Crew

Bio: Hello! I’m Autumn_x_mist, obviously, but you can call me Autumn. I am 18 years old, and I have been on Gaia since 2006 on this character and 2004 over all. I am a sophomore in college and I will probably mention homework every single time you talk to me. I have an amazing boyfriend in real life whom I love very much, but I enjoy getting on here to make lots of awesome friends. And I would love to hear from you! :3



User Image
Name: Shimo Kousetsu - Insanity Crew

Bio: Hiyas!! I'm Shimo Kousetsu, you can just call me Shimo. Umm... About me? I'm 14, hate pink and frilly stuff 99.999% of the time, and am obsessed with manga/anime. Obsessed. If you want to chat about a couple series, feel free to PM me. And DO PM me if you know about The Recipe for Gertrude, it's too little known. ^-^ Er... And apparently I have the mystical ability to create third-person conversations. Heehee. x] I also tend to overuse the word 'doom.' >:3 Ah, yes. Mess with my friends and die. ((Trixelle: Look, Shimo! No more pink. lol xD )) (( She may not come in here much, but she still wants to be considered a mod in the charity))

User ImageName: Aoridemonchild - Insanity Crew

Bio: Hey! I'm Aori. I love Disney, shopping, and writing. I find life to be a gift and I just live through it as it comes. One of my hobbies is smiling, and I'm quite good at it. (( She may not come in here much, but she still wants to be considered a mod in the charity))



Those part of the Insanity Crew are basically my mods for this charity.
They are my eyes when I'm not here & welcome those new to the charity by just being...well, themselves. x)
Respect them, please.



Note: I did not leave out the application to become a part of the staff here by accident, but on purpose. This is because, in a previous thread I've run, people have applied for a position, yet I rarely saw them in the thread to help keep it running. Since I don't want that to happen this time, I will choose the mods based off of my observations of what they do to help this thread to be successful. Observations may also be based off of what the other mods tell me as well

Q: Can I start the trade?
A: I'd rather you not; unless, that is, you are donating to the charity

Q: How often can I apply for a donation?
A: One week after your previous donation was received, please.

Q: Why did you create this charity?
A: My reason: Well, even though I'm not quite finished with my dream avi, I just wanna help others out as well. Maybe a bit bored; but, hey, it kinda gives me something else to do on here besides quest and vend in the MP. Besides, I like talking with other people in the forum, it's pretty durn fun (lol xD). So yeah, that's pretty much my reason.

lol... I understand, (meow) it's like talking about something, which leads to talking about something else, then the guy next to you is (meow) sitting there with his mouth open wide, and your grandma cant believe you just said that, but you didn't mean it that way, and the elephant gets mad at you and (meow) someone snitched on you and you have detention, and then the parakeet decided he wants cake, which isn't cool cuz he's lactose intolerate (meow) and you know he's gonna want that glass of milk afterward, and he's gonna whine and beg and scream, which reminds me of my brother I mean he can never just take no for an answer. "can I have a soda?" "no" "why?" "because its not good for you." "but grand ma let me have one earlier " "good, you don't need another." "but I'm thirsty" "drink water" (meow) "but it's gross" "too bad..." (meow) and what is with that cat?

"...and then the parakeet wants cake, which isn't cool 'cause he's lactose intolerant..."
I know there's more to it, but it just sounds funny, especially to those who just skim lines...about like I did at first til I decided to read the whole thing.
And, the cat? Sorry, sometimes my KiKi has this urge to interrupt someone while their talking. *glares over at her KiKi*
KiKi: *hiss*
Me: Well, someone's in a grumpy mood...must be allergies. xP


In an effort to get the can-can theme song that he put in my head. D:
WolfbaneFenrir']Umm... let's talk about... Groundhogs, then!
What's the difference between a groundhog, and a hedgehog?
Does one live in hedges, and the other the ground? And are they even related to hogs at

Fenrir enlightens me on how they are similar & different. Very interesting indeed. :3
WolfbaneFenrir
Apparently, the most relation the three animals have is the fact that they are all mammals. When you reach their individual Orders, they each have a different category.
Also, groundhogs are apparently on the endangered species list, under "Least Concern".

Hedgehogs are called so because they apparently frequent around hedges, and they have a hog-like snout.
I can't find the etymology of "Groundhog" itself, but they are also called "Woodchuck"s, which comes from the Algonquin name of wuchack.
The word "Hog" originally had no relevance to pigs, but rather the age at which they were ready to be slaughtered, because it was also a word used for a "young sheep" or a "horse older than a year".

Something I heard from a friend. :B

Can you smash a watermelon with a bat? Well, then prove it.


Challenge: That is the challenge.
Draw the insanity crew smashing watermelons with bats, or at least one of them smashing watermelons while the others are watching.
Feel free to be creative. :3

Best Entry - will receive 10k from The Watermelon Charity & will have their art featured on the front page.
All entries - will be added to this post as well, and could possibly appear on the front page some day. :3

Q:How will the best entry be chosen ?
A: The best entry will be chosen from other Gaians voting on them, basically like the voting used in an avatar contest.

A: [ actual date TBD ]
