For the record: I hate all of you who got this idea stuck in my head. And I loathe those who are encouraging this lapse in judgement.

  • Bumping is allowed, but I prefer chattering instead of just plain "bump" posts. Also please do not stretch the page. It hurts KenKen's eyes ;-;.

Updates
March 10, 2006 - I got tired of trying to buy another June 2004 letter off people so I just bought an AFK instead rofl . I'm going to have a bit of fun wearing it until I can rebuild funds to make another 03 purchase again :B.

February 26, 2006 - Sold off a couple of letters. Going to use funds to buy more letters xD.
February 23, 2006 - Semi-finished thread. Now live and in proper forum. Let the lunacy of this endeavor... BEGIN :O!
February 21, 2006 - Started building thread.

Reason:
(Stop at version you feel you've had enough of KenKen's ramblings about her life :3)


Short Version - I have an obsession with things that are black and white (especially pandas and dalmatians) and my friends are ebil. It's their fault I'm even attempting this lunacy.

Long Version - When I first joined Gaia I took one look at the Panda Hat and knew I'd NEVER be able to afford it so I never got my hopes up to ever even try. Fast forward a bit to the first convention I attended as a true member of Gaia (and not just a lackey con junkie friend of members of the site helping out with the panel xd ) and people realize I was serious when I said "look for the girl with the panda stuffy on her head" to find me. I also ended up making several friends (particularly at Otakon) just because I was the silly at the booth with a panda stuffy on my head.

And then they plant the idea...

"Do you have a Panda Hat?"
"Oh! You really should get one! It would look so cute with your ava!"
"But you wear a panda on your head... it would be fitting to get the Panda Hat!"

I thought I could ignore the pestering, but the damage was done gonk . I started thinking "what if"... and then the reinforcements came in evil . I keep getting these whisperings of "Doooo iiiiit", "You know you really want one...", and several others encouraging me to actually pursue this idiocy D:.

Unfortunately all their harassments have paid off.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.Longer Version - The night before my first high school band review back in fall 1999 my mother bought me that TY Beanie Buddy panda, Peking, as a random gift. I took him with me on the bus the next morning and enjoyed his company so much I continued to bring him to all the following band reviews and trips (Hawaii, Florida/Disney World, Disneyland).

But he became well known after my third band review my Frosh year of HS. While walking out to the stadium for the award ceremony I was carrying some items for the band parents and had no room in my arms to carry Peking (who by this point was a staple at all award ceremonies). So I did the only thing that made sense at the time and placed him on my head and continued on. Needless to say I ended up getting a lot of attention from walking around with a panda stuffy on my head. And being the attention whore I am (hello, cosplayer... XD) I just soaked it right up and made a habit of carrying Peking around like that. The added benefits of perfectly my balance and freeing up my arms were almost as nice as the attention too <3.

And did I stop there? Nope! I had to become even more creepily attached to my panda stuffy by not only bringing him with me to the theme parks I went to with my band, but taking him on the rides as well. But when I graduated from high school what was to become of my dear friend? Was he just to become another lump on my bed, long forgotten ;-;? HELLS NO! I started taking him to conventions xd . He is now the only reason most people probably ever remember who I am :B. And yes: he still rides on my head >D!
Look! It's Kender and Peking at Otakon 2005 :O!
ROFL LOL FAILED FACE PALM!

Obscenely Long Version - My very first stuft animal I received was a panda bear from my older brother literally hours after I was born. My mom tells me I stared at that panda more than I did anything else my first few days of life.

I still have that panda bear in fact. His name is Teddy :3. I've also acquired several other panda bears over the years from friends and family. The ones from early in my life (before Peking) I'm sure were complete accident. No one back then truly knew how deep my love of creatures black and white ran.

But in any case, since then I've had this adoration for black and white. When 101 Dalmatians was re-released in theaters for my generation I was enthralled. So much that at six years old I was able to recite every line from the cartoon movie and inform all who would ask (and even those who didn't domokun ) the names of all fifteen puppies. I was insane :B.

Fast forward further down the road to my senior year of high school. What dress do I pick out? A black and white checkered gown >:3.



So you see? This can be all traced back through so many interconnected reasons why... even down to it all being my brother's fault in the first place... but in the end: I'd just really like a panda hat so people will LEAVE ME ALONE ABOUT IT gonk .

Also, my ava's head is cold. Won't you help her get something cute and matching my obsession to warm it :O?

Selling
Commons and Uncommons I don't need.
Post in this thread if you're interested in something.
Or if I list a price then just send trade with the name of the item you want in the trade title.
I will cancel trades if I don't know what they're for.


Commons
Item(s) - Store Price Each - My Price Each - Image(s)

(Note: I've been dropping so many random store items into the vend
for below lowest buy that they're usually bought before I can update this post gonk .
So for now... I'm just leaving the commons area empty >>;...)

F.A.Q.
(I will add things as I think of them X3;... Feel free to ask your own questions and I'll add them here.)


Who are you?
I'm Kender :O! It's also one of my real life nicknames so it works both on Gaia and off :3. My real name is Jessica, but call me that and I'll throw cheetos at you. I prefer Kender, KenKen, or Jessa if you feel you must use my real name.

Anywho, I'm 21 years old and I currently attend a "local" (haha, 20 miles away...) community college. It's cheap and my mom can afford it without having to take out student loans for me *shrug*. I've found I actually have far more options for classes than the majority of my friends who are/have attended four-years X3.

Who is Peking?User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Peking is my panda stuffy I'm probably a little too attached to. It confuzzles many who aren't used to my antics to see a 21-year-old girl dragging around a much loved stuft animal with her. But c'est la vie, c'est la guerre, n'est-ce pas? He's been with me for quite some time and is now such a recognized extension of myself that people greet him as well as myself <3.

And a couple years ago for my 20th birthday I completed the insanity by creating a Gaian account for him. Take a wild guess at his user name :p. I tend to just use the account as a mule posting account, but there are times I'm feeling particularly silly and I have Peking "type responses". It's quite difficult to get his paws to type something out ><;.
(Psst... Peking's the bigger of the three in the picture :O.
China is the Ty Beanie Baby and Pixel is the one on Peking's head <3.)

Why don't you list any gold in your current funds?
I'd like something to be able to buy my friends gifts D:. Also I've found from previous quests that it's more beneficial for long term quests to keep funds in letter/event item form. Those type of things generally gain value over time unlike gold so I will be instead using a good chunk of the gold I acquire to invest in letters instead.

How do I know you're not going to just give up on this quest?
I know for many donators this is a concern. They'd rather see someone actually reach the goal they strived for rather than settle for something "not quite what they wanted" purely because they got impatient.

Guess what? I'm stubborn and spend way too much time on Gaia. I may not have the most active quest in all of Gaia (in fact I can almost guarantee my friends will bumping this thread far more than I will be), but that doesn't mean I'm not trying. I do have more pressing responsibilities on Gaia than spending every moment I'm online begging for donations.

I'm a realist. I have no delusions I will get this Panda Hat today, tomorrow, or any time in the near future if ever. But that doesn't mean I'm going to give up. I don't give up. That's one of the main reasons I'm irriated at my friends for convincing me to start this quest because they know I won't quit until either I have the Panda Hat or Gaia goes offline for good.

Mini Side Quests
Because I'm just greedy like that xp .


I don't think there is a single user on Gaia who quests for something and doesn't also want something else. And I'm no different. Sorry D:. But on the plus side my side quests are not anything like "lyke omgwtf, I want minis 2!" rofl ?

Alright, alright... I'll stop stalling and post what I want already :p.

Vials =O~! Yes, you read right. I. Want. Vials. Of. Unknown. Liquid.

Why?
Psh, no particular reason. Green is just my favourite single colour and I'm amused by the vials. I'm not in competition to "have more than so-and-so" like some people seem to be. I used to collect trash just because I found it amusing, but since the items for them came out it stopped being fun sad . The vials, though... they have no purpose anymore than to just sit there and be shiny so I still love them like any normal kender would domokun heart .

How Many?
I have no set number to reach. Just as many as I can get rofl . I currently have only around forty or something like that. My storage looks hecka cool with the mass of green-ness in it whee .

You have gold, why don't you buy them yourself?
Because I'm questing for an item that costs an estimated 65+ million gold sweatdrop . A few hundred gold may not seem like much, but it does add up. So if you have any spare vials lying around that you don't mind parting with KenKen would adore you :3 <3.



Lol, first photoshop attempt from a bit ago... with my laptop's touchpad xD --->
