Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

So, when I first started on Gaia I had to decide how I wanted my Avatar to look. Now I know I could have just taken my time about it and all that but I'm a person who likes to pick one thing and stick with it. After scoping out some of the items in the stores I came across the reindeer feet at the Barton Boutique. Cute, definately, but they got me on a theme that I really liked. I'm a amature RPer and for some reason enjoy the Satyr characters of the Changling realm. So, reindeer feet plus horns equals Satyr, I had my look. One big problem, the only horns that seem to fit to me were the Horns of the Demon, slightly high priced item for one such as my self. Long story short I spent the last nine months or so building up gold, with a few spending spree's here or there, to purchase these sought after horns. Then I log on a few days ago and WHOA! Check out the new items, Raptor horns. I debate for a while whether I wanna give up the first vision I had of my Satyr-self and give into the new horns. I do and I haven't looked back. So now, after being here a short while I have my look, I have no plans to change it, drastically at least. Maybe a few holiday items and donation items to display an my person but then back to Satyry goodness.
However, this has presented another problem, what do I do now with gold I earn. I'm not saving for much of anything, I'm not questing any items. I have no reason to spend hours on Gaia attempting to raise cash for that hard to buy item. Basically, why am I here? What happens when you are done questing? I wouldn't mind buying a Were tail but that is really an item I'm not to thrilled about. It finishes the Satyr look but I chose it only as the most goaty tail on the market. I don't think that I will ever really attempt to quest for a Were tail. For now I guess that the gold I earn will accumulate until I tire of it and donate it to others. It's actually kinda of pleasent being able to dole out gold like it's not important. I may not have millions, in fact I have about 500g, but I know too some one who is still striving for that hard to reach goal, that's a big step in the right direction.
