Welcome to Gaia! ::

Just like the topic says, if you'd like to say hello to everybody, you can go ahead and introduce yourself to the crowd here. Its easy 8D

....

okay, okay, I'll go first >>;


HI! My name is Karma, known to my iRL friends as Katie. I live in Washington State and am married to David Hopkins (creator of JACK ... rated MA, not for all audiences) and we share an apartment with our two cats (Lucifer and Gremlin) and our ferret (Farrago).

I'm currently 24 and have been drawing since I was old enough to hold a pencil. My favorite pasttimes are writing, roleplaying with friends, spending time with Dave, and playing Morrowind. My favorite colors are indigo, blue, green, and black.

I'm a bit shy and withdrawn when it comes to meeting new people or having to try and resolve a conflict of some sort, so if you think I'm snubbing you or anything, that's very likely NOT the case. I have a bad habit of leaving PMs until I can think of a good way to respond to them and then end up sometimes not responding at all D:

Things that make me HAPPY! -- understanding, friends, helping people get what they want, raccoons, dragons, artwork, leafhoppers, Pepsi, chocolate

Things that make KARMA GO NUTS!! -- being nagged, being dragged into fights, egotists, jerks, people who refuse to take no for an answer, ants, fleas, Dr. Pepper, excessive angst, being overworked, the cats deciding to attack my feet while I'm playing video games




so....yeah! Your turn 8B

Alrighty, I'll play ball.

I'm Youkochylde. My friends call me Youko. If you're expecting my real name, you'll be waiting a long while. The ones that know that are the ones that have met me in RL.

I'm NOT shy in the slightest and generally will tell someone exactly what I think of them. If I don't (and it's bad), it's generally because I either:

1) Don't think it's worth starting a fight over

or

2) Am too pissed off to think coherently without sounding like as much of an asshat as the person I'm annoyed at.

I've been told that I intimidate people and that some are afraid of me. Here's a clue: If you have to wonder whether or not I'm angry at you... I'm NOT. Trust me. If I am, you'll be the FIRST to know. In RL, I'm pretty much the same as I am online. I (generally) think before I act and can come up with some spectacular rants... but I also value my friends highly and put them before myself, most often.

I'm 31 years old, and don't really care to get caught up in most crap that shows up on Gaia. Still, the dramallama seeks me out, most often. xd

Otherwise, I'm pretty easygoing. I give everyone a fair shake, and treat people with respect unless they've earned otherwise. I'm ALWAYS willing to talk, RP or just hang around.

Things that make Youko go SQUEE! -- Foxes, RP pets, Mozou Totems, wiggling my toes in the grass, oceans, animals of most kinds, anime, drawing, writing.

Things that make Youko see RED -- People antagonizing his friends, people who need to figure out what a dictionary is, asshats, bad artists with big egos, good artists with NO self esteem, one-liner RP's, godmoders, bees, tomatoes, cold, people who don't live up to their obligations.

That's interesting eek .

So yes, like nobody would have guessed, my name is Lena.

I'm 17 years old and I still live with my family. I will leave school in June 2006 and then I'll probably study German and English combined with Philosophy. Yes, I'm coming from Germany.

Usually I'm not shy, instead many people tend to call me arrogant and a bit selfish. I really hope that's just a rumour, because I care about people a lot. It's just that I'm capable of quite a few things and in real life many people can't stand this.

Writing and reading are the two greatest pleasures of my life. I taught myself to read when I was four and since then I've really really read a lot. I hope to become an author of novels and poems later on. I've already finished one, but actually it's in German and it's not even published so it wouldn't really make much sense to show you :3

So that's the reason why I fell in love with Gaia and the great possibilities to rp and meet new people. I'm always open to get to know different cultures and ideas and so feel free to talk to me. Feel free to correct my grammar as well please, I want to learn.

As you probably know I'm also the owner of the breedables shop Eden Project smile

Lena really goes wow, when : reading, writing, learning foreign languages, dancing, eating strawberries and/or chocolate, singing, holding speeches XD

Lena feels all sad, when : beeing alone, beeing insulted and criticised, seeing stupid noobies, still making too many English grammar mistakes ;-; , it's too cold to wear skirts and high heels

*waves* I'm teh Quinneh, but you can call me Sarah, too. My mom always does. I'm 25, going on 30. I've been going on 30 since I shot forth from the womb. Again, just ask my mom.

I was born to worry and I do, often, but I try not to let it get me down. There are times when I'm more successful at this than others. I am recently married, so now I have a whole new bucket of things to worry about. Its great, I was getting bored of the old stuff anyway.

I majored in art and theater in college, but, since jobs in those fields are few and far between, I havent bothered graduating and instead, I work for a baby store part time.

Brian, the hubby, and I are trying to buy a house and maintain a functioning relationship. Sometimes, I'm suprised I dont pull my hair out. ^_^

On Gaia, I color for the Zoombinis shop, which I also help run... sort of. We arent the most organized. I also guest color at several shops and am always open to guest for some more. The Quinny likes to color! I can also be found giving things away and helping friends. It makes me smile!

I'm usually quite friendly and nice and full of sugary sweetness, but if pressed, I can be, shall I dare say it, quite the b***h. I always try to mediate before I explode, but some people only learn from a good dope-slap.

Jhiri stands up and dusts her skirt off.

"Hi, my name is Sajhiri. Well, my Gaia name is. I'm mundanely known as Bridget Haines, a 34 gonk year old Report Writer for a software company (NetIQ) in Houston, TX. I'm married to a wonderful engineer named Paul, and we share a house with our puppies, a 1 year old black lab named Sable, and an 8 month old chocolate lab/pit bull mix named Kodiak.

I was born in Niagara Falls, NY, and lived there, or in nearby Buffalo, for 24 years. I attended Buffalo State College where I was an art major for 3 and a half years before I got sick of getting Cs and ended up changing majors and getting a degree in English, Secondary Education (Grades 7-12). I took a few graduate level courses before breaking up with my then fiance, and meeting my now husband. I moved to Texas where he was going to school for Maritime Systems Engineering.

I taught for a while, for a GED program based at Texas A&M Galveston which was part of the Department of the Navy (The Seaborne Conservation Corps) where I designed several curriculums. Lack of full time status/benefits and a move to Clear Lake prompted me to leave that position and I began a several year stint selling Business Machines (Computers and office equipment/software) at Office Depot while living 2 blocks down the road from NASA's Johnson Space Center.

While at OD, I married my hubby and suffered the devastating loss of my best friend in a car accident. I began taking MCSE courses, and quit OD when they wouldn't accomodate my class schedule. Not long after I got a job in the IT department of a bank, and later moved into their Web Dev department. Management changed after a couple years, and they did away with my department. I soaked up unemeployment for a year, during which I focused on being a better artist, and discovered Gaia!

I was hired as a Knowledge Base article editor for NetIQ, and then was moved into Reporting. Working for a software company is great, but my commute SUCKS.

I live to draw, and only wish there were more hours in the day to do so. a 40 hour work week plus 10 hours of commuting doesn't leave overmuch time to do so, but I manage to do the Silva Regia, Time Bandits, STONED! gargoyles, as well as occasional guest art at other shops.

My favorite foods are Sushi, beef tenderloin with horseradish butter, and creme brulee. Favorite colors are earthtones and most shades of blue to wear, purple, limegreen, and black on my stuff.

I'm a former comic book collector, am a Sci-Fi nerd (Star Wars/Babylon 5/Stargate/FarScape/Firefly), and I play a regular tabletop D&D game our group has been playing for over 3 years. I've played D&D since 11th grade which was...er...19 years ago gonk My husband insists I'm "Not a girl" because I hate chick flicks, own 1 purse, and have fewer pairs of shoes than him.

My name is Stae, or Carmen as I am rarely but sometimes called.

I like kittens.

SOCUTE.

OH LAWD!

Umm, yeah. Hi, I'm Niko xd

I love reading, am a WoW addict(I don't play it 24/7 though!) and love RPG games, especially guildwars. I play lots of games, and I'm always making up new stuff.

Obsessed with spiders and the color blue, first and foremost xd Fave colors are blue and white, and I hate gold. So much. I don't like warm colors that much rofl I love parrots as well, and cats.

I work at a pretentious local country club as a hostess and busser on the weekends, and on the weekdays I work at the SPCA.

I like to draw, am almost always open for gold and cash commisions, and am always wanting more RP x3 I also dance, and sing/act for school. But I draw mostly, and listen to music.

Rubadubdubs - Spiders, blue, jokes, music, craziness, RP, games, gift art <3, spiders, owls, parrots, chinese food x3, cats, cool colors, dancing, warmth, art, shakira, the hushsound, dumplings, silver
Not Rubadubdubs - Spiders on my face, cold, books I've already read, math, biology, chauvinists, white people who think they're black, newbs, queens of the stone age, biast people, religious fanatics, god moders, big egos, warm colors, gold

Wow, am I late for the party or what?

So, yeah, I'm Terry Mouse. Simply enough, I'm also Terry outside of Gaia (though, unsurprisingly, my last name isn't "Mouse" in real life). I'm 28 going rapidly on asleep, with former aspirations of being in game design and a current vague, hazy goal of just making it through life at this point.

I am/was an artist. Currently, I have a lot of trouble getting myself to draw anything and finding inspiration to continue doing my works. This really needs to change badly, and hopefully I'll find a way.

Some of you might recall my name on The Fourth Wall's front page, once under the black list and then after on the white list. That entry was a joke, actually; Karma was telling me about The Fourth Wall long before I opted to join in on the whole thing, and I asked her to put me on the black list just as a joke. At the time, I didn't even have a Gaia account, so the black listing was meaningless.

Lately, in my never-ending quest to remain employed, I've gotten a job working in a medical clinic doing data entry on those wonderful specimens that get collected from patients coming in for lab work or drug screens or whatever. In layman's terms, that means I spend all night (I work 2:30PM - 11:30PM EST under ideal circumstances) handling people's blood, urine, and other bodily substances. It's data entry with latex gloves, a lab coat, and a plastic face shield.

My job is interesting. I'll give it that.

Currently on Gaia, I have no real drive to get involved in other breedables or anything else. I'm happy just sticking to The Fourth Wall. I should be getting back into the swing of things soon.

^.^ -- my friends, video games (action/adventure, puzzle, FPS, shmup, flight - especially space combat, OMG SILENT HILL), alcohol (especially things containing vodka), Thai food, Italian food, the color green, art/illustration, anthro characters (OMG freak), cool/cold weather

>.< -- people who seriously mess with my friends, people who like to rub stuff in, anything underwater, green peppers, anything underwater, nasty traffic, hot weather, anything underwater, people with massive egos, anything underwater, people who feel the need to be a self-centered p***k, anything underwater, injustice, anything underwater, lying, anything underwater, bad artists who play the "you don't draw so you can't judge me" card to get away from criticism, anything underwater, anything underwater, being submerged, anything underwater, being in debt, anything underwater

I think that about covers things. Back to the rest of you.
