Well, nobody's completed the riddle so far, so I hope it wasn't too hard... But that's why there are two days to complete it. Thrawn needs lovin' too.

*sigh* I have bad news, good news, and bad news for me...Bad news is that I will be working all week, good news is that it's mostly 5-6 hour shifts with only two 9 hour shifts on Friday and Saturday, and bad news for me is that Sweeney Todd, Walk Hard, Charlie Wilson's War, and National Treasure 2 all come out this week.

G'd afternoon!
Missing: be those movies that are coming to your theater? Anywho, don't work too hard.

Missing: Whenever you feel down about having to work just tell yourself your getting paid for it, hopefully that should help.
So am I the only person who thinks that this orphan thing is in bad taste?

Johnny, you're not alone there. The execution of the idea could have been a bit better. But being o' a philantrophic bent, I feel compelled to do it anyway.
Though what really burns my toast is all the lag. ._. If it keeps up, I may log for a bit, and try the "caroling" a bit later. That's the real grip I have with this sort of thing.
Another annoyance I have with caroling/trick or treating is: what if I just want to shop? >_<

Its a cute idea, though rather sickening simultaneously.
I already am a general in the Salvation Army! I need no more philantropy!

I have a major problem with taking such a serious issue as the poor and orphans and turning it into an event that forces people to go and buy stuff in Gaia's shops. The caroling thing I am fine with. I just wish they had put more forethought into this main event.

I'll bet the Fandalorians of Gaia are having a blast. Mandos make a habit of recruiting war orphans into their ranks.
And I dont think the event is in bad taste.
Poor people taste like chicken.
And chicken is good. So someone pass me a slice of orphan and the salt.

The idea of paying for stuff to make the virtual children presentable to the adoption agency is what pisses me off. The adoption issue hits really close to home for me, and Gaia trivializing it really gets my goat.

Dude, you're not an orphan.
You're what Orphan kids want to be. So ease up.
Though paying for stuff to care for the rats does seem somewhat stupid.

I'm not going ease up because they are trivializing important social issues! I am one of the lucky one's I admit and that's why I care so much about the adoption issue. Also the lag is contributing to my anger at the moment.

That's something I always thought would help convince people to donate during the xmas season. Instead of volunteers, ask the local orphanages to help send out little tykes to ring bells.
May be harsh to the ear, but how could anyone turn down a cute girl ringing a bell for some cash?
