Sorry for being MIA for a while. I was taking a semi-break from gaia mostly just lurking when I came on and then my computer died. xd Hopefully it'll be fixed/new soon and I'll be able to be on more.

David2074 Princess-Orphelia David2074 Princess-Orphelia I actually thought you were a kid yourself, no older than about 20 ...So naturally I'm shocked. gonk Either way, you certainly act young. 3nodding So I guess I'm old and immature. I'm on a roll! smile Can I ask, if it's ok, to actually ask your age? I have come across so many people who I thought were teens, only to find out they're in their 40's-50's.. So that's more of a compliment coming from me. 3nodding Yeah, that's fine. I'm 50, will be 51 this summer. It's not really a secret but I don't flout it. I say I'm a grandfather on my profile so no one can accuse me of trying to trick little kids or some crap like that. It is good that teens are made aware and all but it is sort of gone too far. Some seem to assume any older person online is some sort of perv. As an example - I'll give you an interesting observation. On OMGPOP my profile pic was me. An okay pic but obviously a middle aged man. A lot of people would join my games and leave them. A couple even commented that I 'look like a perv'. I changed my profile pic to a picture I took of a tree frog. People started staying in my games and no more rude comments. My game play did not change, only their perception of who was at the other end. Sometimes it amuses me to think of all these little tweeners growing up with electronics and then one day getting old enough the next generation thinks they are weird for still wanting to use them. I think it will be a rude awakening for many of them. smile There are actually a lot of older Gaians. Not the majority for sure but many more than some kids think. There are guilds like Over 30 and Gaian where - as the name implies - you have to be over 30 to join. I mostly hang out with older folks on Gaia or teens who have at least a modicum of maturity. I completely agree and do the same. One reason I like it here is there are alot of adults here and teens who are comfortable with it. There are alot of adults here, far more than I thought and I'm having little difficulty finding them; even the over 50 crowd, hehehe.

Wow, that's awesome. Did you end up getting a 50th party? As I said, you certainly seem much younger, so take that as a compliment. I'm not a member anywhere else, meaning other sites, except for myspace, which was ages ago. Haven't been on there for about 2 years, and that's about it for me. But, I can see why people would think other people are pervs, because in this day and age, that's how they see things, regardless of how innocent a person might look. It's really stupid to be honest, because these days you gotta be careful with what you say and do online. I had a friend who posted their picture on a site, if only I can remember which one. But he looked so much like someone else, that was a child molester, and so my friend being the innocent, went through lawyers and lots of money later to prove to the world, that he isn't that same guy, even though they looked similar. Eventually they did catch the right guy though and apologized to my friend. . But the whole thing was stupid. I'll have to one day check out that place where there's older Gaians. One day I might too. Yeah, that whole perv issue is one big reason I hesitate to say my age, until ppl know me a bit. It is even worse for men.

Ms. Gaian Princess,
I do not know if I am the only one this happens to, but I just tried to answer your arttist's quiz and slipped up and hit a few keys I wasn't supposed to and Poof it was all gone. So, I thought, I would go and try another thing in your Fun Box.
I found the Music one - you know how much I love music and started typing my playlist song and then another one came on and so I had to change it and guess what - I hit a few wrong keys and Poof it was all gone again.
I'm so frustrated. I don't even know what I'm doing wrong but I'm on a laptop and they can be quirky. I'll come back and try it again soon. Sorry ALL!!!!
Right Now Aerosmith's Angel is play : )
heart
