My Entry for the 2010 August Monthly Collectable Contest
You might be questioning why I posted this here. It's because I wanted my Gaia family to know just how important they've been in my life. They may not get on as often as they used to, but they're still just as important to me.

Honestly, I have to give my vote to the August 2005 Monthly Collectibles: The Whip of Fire, and Whip of Ice. My reasons for being are quite sentimental, actually.
Back in the day, I role-played a character on here as a half demon in a thread called Werewolves vs. Demons. The thread itself has long since lost its luster, but the friendships I created have not. While there, I met some fellow Gaians who were starting a family. Not a literal family, with babies and everything, but a couple who had "adopted" a Gaian daughter. The idea of a family on Gaia was not unheard of, but during this time I was feeling very disconnected from my own family. And so I was adopted. 3nodding
A few months later, as the thread began to die out, my adoptive Gaian father approached me. He asked if I wanted some free stuff. Being the complete noob that I still was, of course I was excited. I was completely shocked when I found that the items he wanted to give me where a Whip of Fire and Whip of Ice, something that I'd always wished I could get, but was too poor to afford. I asked if he wanted anything in return, but he was just giving them to me.
A few years later, a friend of mine asked if he could have my Whip of Fire. I was reluctant, but I gave in, my kind heart letting me part with one of my most cherished items. I still have the Whip of Ice on a different role-playing account, because it works better with his outfit, but I could never give it up. I hope to contact that friend some day and ask for that Whip of Fire back, because I want to have those gifts in my possession again. It wont be the same if I buy one, it has to be that one. The gift from my father.
That is why those are my favorite August collectibles. My thanks to darkchildkyle, gothic wolf demon, and fallen_cloud, for being the best family a Gaian could ask for.

Get back on ; ~;
I'm engaged >>
As for the RP, I talked to Dad a while back [I can always text him now if you want] and he wasn't interested in Gaia at all D; He ended up "quitting" and also "quitting" MySpace. Not sure about his phone, though. I haven't talked to him in a while, to be honest. I don't know if he even wants anything to do with us sad I just am feeling really nostalgic, you know? And btw, you are one of the only reasons, if not the only reason that I come on this place. I have the other account, but I use it to talk to one person and basically gain virtual gold for virtually nothing.
I just wish that I hadn't even joined this thing way back when, and just stuck with real life. Less drama. Less...sadness perhaps. But at the same time, I wouldn't have met you, Dad, or Mom. And I don't know if SHE goes on here anymore, didn't think she liked me anyway, just Dad's wife and I think that was our relationship with each other. Aye yah. Well, hope to see you within a few years and get to know you better irl at least for a week or so.
Love you baby bro <3 Always. Have a good week ^^
