[~+~]

Name: -points- Empty Spiral, but please call me Spiral. c:
Meaning: The english translation of Lacuna Coil. (They be a bandddd.)

I've been on Gaia for four years now i think? Did join in '04 but didn't do anything, got the account and never logged on to it...Oh how i regret that now. xD;
I got into the avatar idea more a couple of years ago, and slowly developed from then on. Granted, i know most of my avatars have many flaws, but i try. x3

IRL: I live in the UK and i'm currently in my first year of sixth form. I'm hoping to continue and go on to study Psychology at University. Uhhh.
That's about all really.
I'm useless at these things.

Name:

radium g i r l
But you can call me Radium...or Rad. I don't really care what you call me as long as it's something nice.


Meaning:

Well, Radium is an element that was used during the 1930s to paint the faces of watches, among other things. The radium was used in paints to make it glow in the dark. When the workers' paintbrushes started to fray and lose their tips, the women (who were usually the ones painting the watches) would stick the tips of the paintbrushes in their mouths to get them back to their original point; doing this also caused them to ingest the radium. So that more than 100 former watch painters died from the radiation from the radium that had become stored in their bones.
The litigation and ultimate deaths of five "Radium Girl" employees who had used radium-based luminous paints on the dials of watches and clocks had a significant impact on the formulation of occupational disease labor law.
Which is where I got my username from, well that and the fact I am female.


Gaia and I:

I joined Gaia in '06 and am I Gaia junkie, though I've been a bit too busy to be on as much I used to. Because in real life my junior year of high school is eating up most of my extra time. I live in the US and hope to become an Infectious Disease Specialist...or prehaps an Entomologist, because botflies interest me so much.
There isn't really anything else to know about me.
:]

Username: TOB3RT
Meaning: Nickname, Except it has a three.
IRL: I'm a highschool freshman who loves to parkour and play football. I also like to take pictures with my shirt off.
I have been around Gaia since '07. Hacked, Banned, Hacked, Banned, Banned. All of my accounts from first to the one before this went like that. Buying hacked items off market sucks.
I always tried to match avis, but so far I've only done a few alright ones. My current one I've done many varieties of, and I'll probably change it by next week.

Hello!

I'm Ami, 18, nationality Finnish.
I've been in Gaia since July 2005. Looking forward to my 5-year Gaia anniversary. :3
More personal info in profile if needed.

I've had active and unactive periods in my Gaia life, but even when I couldn't make it to Gaia that much, I was thinking about it. >.<;; Gaia just is part of my life, I can't deny it. :'D I loved the Gaian items ever since I joined and became a gold-hungry newbie. When I created this account I was barely 14 and my English skills weren't spectacular. I must have been an annoying n00b to be honest. o.o Luckily I slowly grew smarter in during the next few months.

I became interested in creating matching avatars when I joined the guild TekTek Society, 2-3 years ago. It motivated me to be creative and come up with good-looking, carefully matched avatars instead of just shoving a Kiki or some other spendy items in my avatar's hands. I never became the ultimate matching freak, but I can no longer create an avatar without even trying to match a bit. :'D

Besides avatars, posting in forums also has some kind of part in my Gaia life, especially since I created The Great Literate European Hangout 2 years ago. I've spent almost all of my Gaia time there ever since.
I also enjoy all Gaia's little celebrations, whether it was the Easter, Summer, Halloween or Christmas event. I think Gaia's Halloween is my favorite, though.

That's about it. Pleased to meet you! :3

hey,
username: kiazi
meaning: eh, well its something my friends and i say, but its to hard to explain. its a story including a buritto a bird and a rubber ducky. but its meaniingless to everyone else.
actually im very new on gaia, i joined sometime around the middle of this year, end of may i think.
ok basically i didnt join this guild because im good at making avatars in anyway, but because i really need help in making avatars. im hoping i can learn alot here, just like i learned alot from the guide (which i must say is amazing!) ive been on tektek alot lately trying out stuff, and in the avatar talk forum and guides like this working on matching and stuff and i think im slooowly getting better.
oh and other than that, im australian but live in england. and i like niiiiice people. so BE NICE! yeah thats pretty much it.

I used to be good at avatar making but lost my touch since you can't earn gold as easily by posting instead now it's cash cards(don't have money for)

Username: dreamish (a lot of people just call me dream)
Meaning: Like a dream (or something like that). Just playing around with words.

I have this account since mid '04. I actually only started actively using Gaia in '07. Started trying to match in 2008. Failed horribly. I spent most of 2009 on a "tired after long quest" hiatus.

In real life, I'm a 21 year old girl. Currently halfway through a chemistry major. I've been told that I have the "charming nerd" look (after walking through the library with a pile of books and almost dropping them).

Username: pirate-tatorbug (even though it says above my avi's head, lol)

Meaning: it is just something random since all the good names are taken, so I got put as this. My old one was mawk5 <--- Total nerd=Me lol

Ive been on gaia since.. ohhh well it says my gaia age is 937 days so that means... ummm... since 06 lol

I've neve done anything huge for or on gaia the biggest thing ive ever done is submit a name for Zomg... I lost

I'm a friendly person who is easy to talk to but I suck at telling who ppl are. I don't know 20 of the 30 ppl on my friends list anymore... even though i made them in the past month.

I'm told I'm pretty funny and will always try to help someone I can.

My major flaw is that I love to splurge... lol no money for me.

I live in Oregon in Usa but I was raised in Nebraska, home of corn.

Hi, I'm Night Electric, but you can call me Night. My name was inspired from a photograph of a lightning bolt hitting a tree.

I have been actually around since 06, despite it says on my profile I have been here since 08. Recently school and World of Warcraft took up my time, but I have found time to do other things like go on Gaia and such.

I am in love with the Avatar Making Guide. :3 Great work Cabbi! I was a "matching noob" before finding her guide. Right now I am naked because I am saving up for some expensive clothes.

In real life, I am a sophomore in college. My major currently is Environmental Science. My reason for the major was that I wanted to rest easy at night, knowing I am doing something to better the world we live in.

Cookie Fluff

PostPosted: Mon Jan 04, 2010 9:50 am


Let's see...
Username: Cookie Fluff
Meaning: Well, I used to be cookie_lady26 since I used to hang out in Friends Chat and pass out cookies, so people started calling me cookie lady. I changed it to Cookie Fluff when I became addicted to zOMG.
You can call me Cookie, or you can just call me Lizzy, either works.

I've been on Gaia since '06, varying in my interests. I used to hang out in the AT all the time, and during this time, I found The Avatar Making Guide, which I found very useful. I stopped worrying about my avi for awhile when I became addicted to zOMG, but then I remembered this thread and found out that there was an active guild associated with it.

My avatar style varies. I usually like when it color-matches, but once in awhile I'll change it up depending on if my friends all want to dress similar with a similar theme in mind.

Outside of Gaia, I live in Illinois. I'm 18 years old and a Freshman in college, majoring in Elementary Education.
