... okay, for anyone who has been wondering what the Hell I have been up to as of late, the answer is simple. As well as my computer breaking, I have been sucked back into the colossal black hole of time-wastage that is Gaia Online.

Yes, I know I'm for too old for it. I DON'T CARE.

I blame the pinball game. And my wanting to make a paper bag hat (I have 3,882 paper bags left to go). And the fact that the whole thing about earning virtual money actually suckers you into believing you're doing something vaguely productive rather than wasting whole chunks of time trying to buy your little virtual person ridiculously expensive virtual clothes using virtual money. My Gaia avatar is far better dressed than I could ever hope to be and no doubt will soon sport a far more extensive wardrobe. The whole thing is just ridiculously addictive on a ridiculous number of levels and I can't seem to tear myself away.

In case anyone else out there has also found huge great chunks of their life being eaten by Gaia Online, my username is silvia lin.

Yes, even my Gaia avatar is named after a Weiss Kreuz character. Don't judge me.


... someday I will post an LJ entry with actual substance again. But first I need to get slightly less obsessed with Gaia Online, and that has to happen soon, right? I mean, I'm far too old for it, for a start, and I've never been very interested in forums, you can't be as ranty there, Livejournal is really far more my speed. HONESTLY, I CAN QUIT ANY TIME, I SWEAR. I just want to get silvia one of those new furisodes first.
