Thank a veteran today. And just so you all know, this Friday is Wear Blue Day in honor of the wonderful service people who give their lives daily for our freedom.

Friday is wear blue day? I thought that today (Wednesday) would be the day to do something special.

That is one of the problems with knowing people online. You can never be quite sure if they are who they say they are. I think that all of my friends here who know me irl can vouche for the fact that I am a 23-year-old female college student. 3nodding As to anything past that, I guess it would be a matter of opinion.

I believe just about everyone on Gaia unless they give me any reason not to believe them. Sure there are people who try to be tougher or cooler than they really are irl, but I think just about everyone gets on Gaia for the same reasons that I get on. Everyone just needs people to talk to; people who share common interests; who will not go blabbing everything to everyone they know. Plus, I kind of have a lack of friends in my immediate area, so it is nice to connect with other cool people on a daily basis.

My parents are the ones who are convinced that 90% of the people on the internet are malicious stalkers who try to lure young people out of their homes to be raped/murdered. xp I do my very best to make sure that they do not know about Gaia. I love them and all, but they start throwing out warnings based on stuff they've seen on TV whenever they find out that I am talking to anyone online other than the people I know irl. @_@

Chibi, didn't your dad think at one point that I was a vicious stalker? I mean, I can be vicious, but definitely no stalker.

I usually take people at face value, but I am protective of my personal info, like everyone should. I'm in agreement with you, Chibi. Folks need to talk and I like Gaia for that. I also have one other forum I frequent that is for C.S.Lewis fans. These two places have become family to me.
I have a few RL friends I hang out with, and connect with on facebook, but I am a pretty quiet introvert, until you get me in a safe place like online where I do a little bit more talking, but on subjects I enjoy, etc.
I'm glad to be a part of this family. smile

In relation to Sammy's comment, and due to my current profesion, I have changed my username so that it no longer includes any part of my real name.  

[LilChibiusa]

Would you like us to keep calling you Jessyka, or would you prefer to be called Moriko now?

@Sammy - I love C.S. Lewis! xd I've read The Chronicles of Narnia, but I want to read his other stuff.

And speaking of safety online, Izuna just got her account stolen. Someone phished the marketplace, so she accidentally gave away her password while trying to buy an item. Though most of the people on this site are great, I think that we all need to be cautious of those less than virtuous people.  

[LilChibiusa]

I have done everything today except for homework. sweatdrop I need to get busy.  

[Moriko_Wolf_Youkai]

Chibi, I thought you were getting help abou your procrastination issues.  

[LilChibiusa]

I'll get around to that. sweatdrop

Hey! Did anyone see the Unicorn listing in the marketplace? It has such an obvious Blade Runner reference in its description! blaugh

"The perfect outfit for when you decide to run wild through the dreams of an android-hunting cop."
