THIS IS A TITLE

It seriously is time for a new post, I have left my blog quite untouched untill today and the only problem I can think of that stops me from writing a blog is that I can't actually think of what to write about. I lay here typing away without a topic in my mind, in fact not even the title above has been filled with letters.

However I am running on about 5 cups of tea (3 sugars in each) about to be a 6th (That's 6 times the caffine and 18 spoons of sugar) and they have put me in a typing mood which is good cause I have a blog to write and a chapter of a fanfiction. Okay I don't HAVE to write either of the two but I want to write a chapter once a month and I like to update my blog every now and then.

I'm thinking about getting some kind of camera specifically for vlogs, a friend mentioned Toys R Us selling a simple camera which you can plug into your laptop which is perfect for vlogs but £50 is still quite expensive. (Here is where I got distacted looking at toys from Toys R Us)(Here is also where I finished my 6th cup of tea)

So looking for work is probably actually harder then the job itself, I desperatly want a job as there is so many things that I would love to purchase; a bigger place is one of them. Not only are there things I want to buy, but I also want a life where I'm not living on benefits. Living on benefits allows me to keep my house, keep fed but upon going out and being social, or buying stuff that I'd like, planning really is needed. There is also the chance of one mistake and your benefits could be lost for a week, or delayed and you generally have to work harder making sure you get everything done right. Finally there is the feeling of... oooh what is it, guilt might be too strong of a word, I'm not sure but eventually I end up feeling bothered as I hate being one of the hundreds of people who live off of benefits. Now I don't mean to live off benefits, I am strongly looking for a job (Well maybe not just this second as I am writing a blog) but while I look, I need to be able to pay the rent, I just never thought I'd be on benefits for so long, I had hoped to have already snagged a job by the end of January, it is now a day before March.

Now there are people out there that I have seen committing benefit fraud, I won't say who, mostly people who don't keep their mouths shut and people who once upon a time were my friends, I've seen it, whether they're not bothered about working because they don't want to, or perhaps they think the world owes them something. Especially those that annoy me are the ones who have whatever it is wrong with them, a peg leg or low blood pressure or whatever allows them to get a load of money off the goverment but they don't give anything back, y'know like working. Sure it's okay for some, I understand that there are those with serious illness' or problems and I have no problem with them getting the good treatment, but those lazy motherfuckers who just take and take without giving back when I'm here doing my best to get a job just annoys me.

In short: Still trying to get a job, there are a lot of benefit frauding pricks out there.


Yup that was the best I could come up with and now I don't have an idea as to what to write about after. I might just leave it there for now and hopefully I can think of a good topic to write about, truth is I definally want to start doing some vlogs but I need a good camera for that.

Well I'll leave it at that for now. Oh yeah still need a title.

Aww I want art

Ahh so it seems I never needed to do that Gaia cash project thing afterall as the proof that Gaia has been ruined is right in front of me.

Now first of all I'd like to apologise for the constant blogs about one website, it is starting to get a bit of a bore but I'll try and make this the last one. Now earlia today I mentioned about giving Gaia a break saying that I don't have to pay for all these items and it's not like I use Gaia for much at all nower days, however there is one thing I do love about Gaia and that is art. I love people drawing my avatar in the many different ways I can create him, and as it's just a pixilated me, it's like getting pictures drawn of me but however I want it, with whoever I want.

So I started creating a thread about requesting art for of course Gaia Gold which I would adapt to the forums later. So all I needed to do was research for proper prices. Now when I first began Gaia most of the art ranged from 10,000 gold to 40,000 gold (10k-40k) so that seems like a fair price. This is where I'd be shaking my head if it were a vlog. Thanks to all the special items going for 999 Gaia Cash the prices for everything including avatar art has peaked so very high.

If I were to spend £25 on Gaia, I would obtain enough Cash to buy 5 chance items worth 999 Gaia Cash each which all could then be sold in the Gaia Market Place each for about near 700,000 gold (700k) selling each one would give me a grand total of 3,500,000 (3m 500k) That is how most Gaians get their gold, this is what gives Gaians the right to think that selling art for 200,000 gold - 500,000 gold is just the right amount to be selling art for.

I'm not bothered about the items or being rich, but when it comes to art I'd have to pay real life money. So my final Gaian conundrum that I ever want to post on this blogging site is this: Do I say "Fuck it!" and never get the art that I so love and therefore stick it to Gaia for being a sellout or once I get a job and can afford the cash, pay Gaia to get me gold so I can get my art? Would that be selling out alongside with Gaia? Should that matter?

Well the worthwhile option would be to follow what it is that I want, if I want something enough I'll go for it, though it is pretty stupid, but I guess art in real life costs money, that includes graphic design, clothes and many other arts. So despite the fact that I think Gaia are sellouts, I still love it enough to enjoy the art and the avatars. So despite all my rants and annoyance towards Gaia, if I still want art I'll have to pay but at least I'll hopefully have a job to pay towards it. Afterall I can think of some other stuff I spend more money on which lasts a lot shorter of a time then a photo or a picture.

So in short: To get the good things of Gaia (Other then the socialisation) you may need to pay money. Whether or not I do is another question. Also this is the last time I mention Gaia, unless they go back to their old ways or Gaia HQ blows up.

Just a very quick update

Well there hasn't really been that much that I've wanted to talk about or to share so I thought I'd put a quick post up. I'm still waiting on this job and hoping to several different gods that I'll at least get an interview even though I'm not even apart of any of these gods religions (Or any religion for that matter)

Valentines day is coming up and though the day I feel shouldn't be taken too seriously like a birthday or Christmas, my boyfriend still would like to at least order a pizza and have a nice night in. I totally agree though I'm happy to celebrate our love on any other day and not just Valentines. So whether or not anyone takes this day seriously, just know that any day can be love filled.

In other news, I've decided to scratch the keep watch Gaia project and give Gaia a break. I still think Gaia are sellouts but at the same time I realise that it's not like I have to buy everything, though saying that, if they hadn't had sold out and started bringing many expensive items at once, I'd probably still donate once a month. Still Gaia are just doing what pretty much any other site do, and it took Facebook offering me Facebook credits to make me realise that. Unfortunally I'm still not totally hyperactive as I once was about Gaia, for now I post once a day to keep in contact with a couple of friends, though I will be hoping to get some art made for me by the people of Gaia as I want me some art.

Other then what I've mentioned, life is going pretty slowish, me and Dan have kind of started DNPD but it still feels like we're at square 1. Hoping we can get it sorted out soon, but after our abysmal start, we decided to make it even simpler. Or else we'd be metaphored as "What a Rob" or "What a couple of Robs" though only a total of 4 or so people will get what I mean, it is true.

So that's it from me, hopefully something out of this world amazing will happen for me to write about it next time.
