Welcome to Gaia! ::

It's been in partially-closed-Beta for like two or three years now. Not many ads, mostly just reviews on tech sites and word-of-mouth growth.


Honestly, it's a complex game and I doubt it would work on smart phones. They said it would take about 2 years (with the game being closed and still having a full staff) to convert it to another format, which they just don't have the option of doing.

And I don't have a smart phone, so that would still make it so I could never play again. sweatdrop

Today I shoveled, raked up a lot of leaves, and got rid of all the sticks and branches in my front and backyard. My house on the outside looks a lot nicer, I also cleaned up the shed and put three bikes that were outside and a grill inside so it made my backyard look less cluttered.

I then got a good workout in and cleaned the entire inside of mi casa. I rearranged some things and got rid of all the excess mail that has been building up on my parlor table for the week, then I studied pretty much for the rest of the day.

The snow hardly hit Massachusetts. I shoveled for only about 30 minutes, give or take. My yard is terrible, my family bought our house about a year ago and unpacking and getting set up has taken so long that I haven't really got around to yard work so i'm just starting up again.

Yesterday I cleaned my gutters and it was horrid. There is a tree next to my house and tons of branches and leaves fell into the gutters over the years and they were like solidly compacted and really hard to get out. I think a few more things around the front yard and backyard and i'll be ready to put up Christmas decorations.

Let see....what have I done recently.

1> Sat on the Gaia Login screen for about 2 mins. First minute thinking "What was my User Name again?" The second minute "Aaaand what was my password?"

2> Obtained a new Venus Flytrap from Coworker. She has been "abusing it" in her terms and has given it to me to "Save Reynaldo" and bring him back to life. So I guess I have an extra 'mouth to feed' haha -bah dum cha! boooo!!- until spring comes around. Maybe she will forget about it and I can keep him! biggrin

3>December 14 I turned 24. urgh.
4>December 14 saw and heard about the Connecticut Sandy Hook elementary school shooting (27 dead)
5>December 14 read about a knifing in a Chinese Elementary school (22 injured)

6> Cleaned my house big time.
7>Finished the last bit of my Christmas knitting.
8>Somehow managed to spend 100 dollars on random stuff in one day. That usually never happens how the hell did that happen?!

9>Try to find a non-egg base cookie icing.
10>Bought flowers for myself for my birthday. Went to the florist and they asked me so kindly "For who and what occasion" My response: "Nothing special. They're for me. It was my birthday yesterday." her response, "You're buying flowers for yourself!? Well we will pick out some nice ones!"
See my flowers
I'm and so in love with the dark red carnation. I think I'm going to try to root them.

11> did nothing today! biggrin

got my bonus check today. WOOO!! FIRST BONUS CHECK!

Today I made the potatoes for Christmas Dinner (like a boss grownup); Twice baked potato casserole. One that has cheese, and one without for the weirdos who are nervous about cheese in potato. They'll go in the oven to bake the second time on Christmas, but they're completely ready already.


Last year I was unceremoniously presented with halfed, boiled potato with my choice of gravy (which half of the family doesn't eat) or plain table salt as toppings. Urgh.
So that's what I volunteered to make this year, because I do not want to go through that again, and because I'm perfectly capable of cooking something useful.


I'm starting to worry that it might become expected of me now, but oh well.

We have a guest over and I am having a difficult time to have a sense of humour about it. It short periods, guest is fine. But after a length of time, you start to realize how classist, fatphobic, agephobic, racist and loud (talking, walking, slamming cupboards) this guest is.

My headphones have broken, so I don't have those. (I have to send them in under warranty.) I'm really thankful that my boyfriend set up my game area so I can play video games alone in the basement.

They kinda look like bay leaves.
