So I've been going through my gaia journal lately and I really can't believe how my life has changed, like seriously! It's like I've been living the life of a teen drama reality star!
I know that this section will probably go unread because of how long these posts are most likely going to be, but I feel like I should put it here (this is the LIFE category, ain't it?) just in case someone else wants to see the irony in my life (and I'm kinda an attention whore).
And if anyone else wants to post there life changes since joining gaia, I'd love to hear it. C'mon, I know you want to~! heart Just admit that you like talking about yourself (I know I do). wink
Just a warning: I'm about to post my profile description and 5 of my journal entries (6 total).

Profile: Written 7-27-09
My name is Jake. I have this odd thing about me that keeps me from lying. I've never lied to my parents about anything, EVER!!! And I will never lie about who I am, how I look, how I feel about myself, or what I think about people. Which is kinda a scary thing to think about. O.O A teen that can't lie? HOW UNCANNY!!! I do hide things though and can refuse to answer . I also tend to break the impossible record for pretty much anything. Ex: I'm a freak that's popular. I'm popular but hang with nerds. I'm a jock but I'm also in drama and have been told on several occasions by people in different cliques that I'm "the perfect gentlemen". I'm in several AP courses including AP Calculus but I'm the biggest tattoo-pierced punk ever. I'm a tattoo-pierced punk but all of my teachers love the crap out of me because I'm so well behaved. I've been in more musicals than you can shake a fist at and also into motor cross, lacrosse, soccer, baseball. I wear dog collars and rock an electric guitar but am a major science-nerd. I have red porcupine spikes and love cleaning (dusting, vacuuming, scrubbing). I have a six pack (which I worked REALLY freakin' hard for, thank you very much) and am a work out junky but am addicted to peanut butter and anime. I have the weirdest childhood yet I'm happy-go-lucky.
Oh, and my lying capabilities are like bar-none. Seriously. My avatar is LITERALLY what I look like in real life. (I also have an Asian girlfriend. We've been going strong for 6 years now).

Journal Post #1: "My Tongue-Tat" (Written 12-25-2009)
Oh yeah! I got myself a tongue tattoo a few months ago! It's a laughing skull in the center of two rotating razors with barb wire.
I swallowed so much ink the day I got it...that can't be good for my health.
And my tongue was numb for almost two weeks before I could taste again!
......Which kinda makes me wonder why I got this thing in the first place........

Journal Post #2: "Mohawk?" (Written 12-25-09)
It sucks not having enough gold to get the hair I have. It makes it feel like my Avi is a liar. Oh, well. It's not like Gaia has a hairstyle that looks enough like mine anyway. But I hate my starter hair. Gaia should totally have Porcupine Spikes as a style.
I might just shave my head for real tomorrow just so I can get gaia hair that looks like me. Scary how fast I can come to these drastic decisions eek .
I think it's time for a change anyway. A mohawk might look awesome to have. Probably dye it a more extreme color than red.
Maybe purple? Green? Definitely not pink or black. Might go blond again...
I don't know if you can tell, but it's about 6:00 in the morning, Christmas Eve, and I can't sleep. Brain's kinda hurtin' now.

Journal Post #3: "Where Have I Been?!" (Written 08-08-10)
I just realized a while ago that I haven't been on Gaia in ages!
No surprise really, since I've been super busy at the end of last year and a bit this summer. See, I got accepted into Brown University a couple of months ago and my family and I have been trying to get me ready. xd Can you believe it?! Brown!!! I mean, I honestly only applied there because I thought I might as well take a shot in the dark at the best universities in the country, but BROWN?!?! xd whee You have no idea how nervous and happy and FREAKED I am right now!!! Course most of the Ivy Leagues flat out rejected me without so much as considering me as a potential waitlister stare . Duke didn't even bother to write back stare ...But what do I care? I'M GOING TO BROWN!!!!!! xd
Who woulda thought...a punk like me?
Mom says, forget Cinderella, I'm the REAL rags to riches story. blaugh Course being compared to a woman in her late 30's that rode around in a mouse infested gourd kinda bothers me, but that's neither here nor there.
Man, I've been telling everyone! I just can't help it though. If people just knew what I had to do to get this far, they'd understand. Hope this isn't getting on anyone's nerves by now ^^;.

Journal Post #4: "Why Do I Look Like A Barbed Wire Fence?" (Written 08-08-10)
A friend of mine asked me, if I don't like how people judge me first hand, why don't I just take out all my piercings and let my hair grow back to its normal color?
That's a good question actually, now that I think about it. ._.
I guess I've got a couple of reasons why. For those of you who don't know, I have a twin brother. Even though we're fraternal twins (meaning, we didn't quite look alot alike to begin with) I still kinda feel like I need to be a little more different than him, you know? People expect us to act the same just cuz they hear we're twins. Of course, when they see us, that's when they see the difference. That's reason number one.
Reason number two: I come from a pretty artistic family and my parents have always encouraged me to be creative and unique in my own way. So, I figured I'd show the world that no matter how you look or where you come from, it's you who takes you to your dreams, not your clothes or your hair.
Reason number three: I was actually pretty wild and angry until I was 13, my past is pretty traumatic to say the least (not suicidal or anything, more like something I couldn't control). Around the time things started to even out, I wanted to change. You know, like stop being so angry, stop being such a poser or "cool". I started throwing alot of my old crap away when I suddenly realized that there wasn't going to be anything left of the old me if I kept going. I mean, the old me wasn't the greatest guy in the world, but the old me was still what made me me. So I compromised with myself. What I wanted, I'd get, forget about media and cliques and what everyone else has. What I didn't feel comfortable wearing, I'd throw away. I don't care if every prep at my school wears DC shoes and if I wear them everyone will think I'm a prep too. I wear my DC shoes because I think they're stylish, comfy, and on sale at Footlocker. I won't wear my old sweat bands, safety pin laced jackets, dog collars, or chains anymore or my old shirts with zombies ripping people apart. And I'm not going to wear nothing but black clothes in the middle of 98 degree weather again either. That was the gothic crowd that thought I was bad a**, not me. But I'm not getting rid of my brow ring or ear rings (at least not yet) because they still mean something to me. And I'll style my hair however I want, so XP.

Journal Post #5: "Wait, WHAT?!?!" (Written 03-01-2013)
What's it been? Like 3 years? Yeesh. I'm starting to get that coming to Gaia ain't a big priority in my life sweatdrop , especially now that I'm in my 20's. Don't know, just feels like a kid hobby now.
So don't expect to see me hanging around here often. Course, it isn't like anyone ever reads these posts anyway stare .
I guess I should give an update on my life since my last post. Trust me, alot has changed. And I mean ALOT.
For one, I grew out the mohawk (I know, how dare I conform gonk ). Now I'm rocking a fauxhawk.
Also, if anyone's noticed, me and my girlfriend from my last entry called it quits (about a year and a half ago). We're still friends though, so it's cool.
But wait, ready for the biggest shocker?...Wait for it....*drumroll*....
I'm dating a DUDE ! eek eek eek eek eek eek eek eek eek eek
I know, right?! eek gonk burning_eyes (I'm running out of emoticons). Three years ago, I was so homophobic I wouldn't even let guys bump shoulders with me in the hall and now suddenly this!!! gonk
Trust me, I'm still kind of fighting it off with a stick. Feels so weird, kinda still accepting it (even after almost a year). If you wanna know who to blame, blame Doxen_Dog stare (easily findable in my friends list). You know that infamous drunken-college-experimentation night people keep talking about? Yeah, well, sometimes it doesn't always stay one regretful night of self-exploration. And being the only bi-guy I know, I thought I might as well pick Dox so there was someone who knew what he was doing. Totally should've picked an amateur. Damn Dox. If it had been less enjoyable, I probably wouldn't have wanted more, stupid p***k.
And that's not even the funny part. Guess what? The guy I'm kinda-sorta-in-a-way-dating is the guy my (now ex-) girlfriend had left for me! As in, the guy she dated before she dated me! eek eek eek eek eek eek
Two of the most un-gay seeming guys ever (I know it seems like I'm full of myself on this, but trust me, no one, I mean NO ONE saw this coming. A jock like me? I dated 3 of the 4 prom queens in high school for God sake! And he was straight before he started seeing me) getting together? We get awkward around each other like every five minutes! Neither of us has the gall to call each other 'boyfriends', we can barely bring each other to hold hands, and as far as I can remember, we have never been on a 'date', more than we've been on a 'yo-you-up-for-a-movie?' or 'yo-wanna-grab-something-to-eat?' Valentine's Day was possibly the most awkward day of my life. We just started using the word 'dating' like 3 months ago.
But despite all that, I don't think dating one of my best bros is a terrible idea. I mean, I get less drama than when I'm with a chick, or if I had chosen one of those sparkly-effeminate homosexuals, I don't have to think to hard about gifts, when we fight, it's usually over in like 5 seconds (2 seconds if the Xbox is on), we have similar tastes so I never have to watch a chick-flick ever again, and I never have to deal with that monster that comes around once a month and seems to follow every woman in existence.
Davis (that's his name) is my bud, my bro more than my date. Since he's one of the guys, he knows what dudes want, so he's not a prude like most girls are in bed and since he's got more of a straight mentality he's not super-over-the-rainbow-kinky either. Oh, and if you've been wondering, I'm pitcher.
Also, I'm pretty sure we're both still bi. I mean, this whole 'dating' thing was started when we were both watching hot girl-on-girl porn so...I know, weird right?
Like I said, ALOT has changed since the last time I was on Gaia. sweatdrop

I know your situation. Since i joined gaia, i have changed IMMENSELY! I can't really remember much of how i was WHEN i joined, apart from the fact that at the time i was a sexuality-frustrated, puberty-enduring, goth-enthusiastic shy kid.
If i had met the old me, i'd probably punch me in the face xD
4 years or so later (I've been through several accounts here), and i am... Different. I am now a normal, laid-back comedian type of sorts. I'm difficult to explain. And like you, i am a piercing enthusiast. I don't have that many, but i still like them, and will get more when i can. I don't have any tattoos, but i plan on getting them. And that tongue tattoo thing sounds freaky, how do you endure it o.o
I don't have any reference-material, like you, but it's interesting to read about regardless.

Thanks for reading (I almost forgot this was here). Crazy to see how time has a way of changing you, am I right? blaugh As for the tongue tattoo thing, it's not as painful, I'm assuming, as a tongue piercing since a needle isn't going all the way through your tongue. Imagine accidentally biting your tongue or getting a canker sore then putting salt on it and holding it out in the open for a while as the salt just sits there. The pain isn't as intense as it is long lasting.

Wow... The shorter list might be what has stayed the same since then. So many important friends won, so many lost. If you don't count moves between two connected buildings and various rooms therein, I've still had five different residencies in two different cities. I've had one pet come and go, I got married, I've said goodbye to all of my local friends when I moved, and came back in time to see these that were still there move away. I got one job, left it for a better one, moved out of city to get a third job, then moved back to the place that I will always call home and got my second job back. I've been in and out of two schools (or four, if you count picking up some gen eds at a community colleges) and three jobs. There were good times, there were bad times... But Orcus were there ever bad times, almost all the results of preventable mistakes.
That was almost ten years ago (tenth gaiaversary coming up in December) when all of this started. Ten very long years, essentially starting with the beginning of my life, when highschool ended. That's where the real growing up started, for me.
All in all... I guess it's been a full decade. I must say that I hope the next is better. The only important thing that stayed the same is that I'm with the same girl.
