Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Just a real quick one... please, read all of my entries if you haven't read them yet... some of them hold important information for your health benifits.

Don't you hate waiting in rooms or on forums for people to show up? You just sit there, twiddling your thumbs or pretending that you enjoy bumping until someone shows up.
"Oh... I guess I'll bump..." and you pretty-up your bumps with tildes and hearts:

~ heart _.-'-._ heart ~Bump~ heart _.-'-._ heart ~

Is there a contest I haven't heard about? Whoever has the prettiest bump 550 views and positive ratings automatically? Another thing I like is sitting in Puzzle Rooms after you have done EVERY puzzle and you just want to talk but nobody is there... so you just sit there, looking like an idiot...
"Shiro has been choosing a puzzle for a LONG time... it's not that hard of a choice."

Sadly, I end up doing these things often. And then you get in rooms where there is no bumping allowed and you start making one-sided conversation with yourself.
"Hello, I'm back!"
"Is anyone here?"
"Have all the people gone?"
"Am I the only one in the room?"
"Nakie time!"
And you slowly start going insane, trying to entertain yourself.

I also hate waiting for my friends to get on because I sent them a trade/pm and I want it answered... and so you fart around on Gaia... go vote in some petitions... maybe exchange some useless crap in the Marketplace, but you don't really get anything accomplished because you go back to your "Friends" menu every two second.

I also hate making posts in high traffic threads... by the time someone replies, you have either forgotten about it or started up a whole new conversation... but most of the time the post just disappears into the void and nobody ever checks your profile to see if your pictures work.

The absolute WORST waiting predicament on Gaia is the stupid post limit! "FOO you cannot post another message so--" BWAR!! :shoots with a rail-gun: Especially when you are in a high traffic thread and trying to keep up with the posts. By the time your reply hits the floor, nobody cares anymore. There have been 2 and a half pages entered since the last time you got to look at the thread. And you've only been stuck behind the timer for 60 seconds... or so it claims.

Ooo... and how about when someone finally enters a room with you but doesn't want to talk! If you don't want to talk, go to the "QUIET" or "SHHH" rooms. You should NOT enter a room called "Ask a Gay Couple" unless you are going to ask the gay couple a question, lol.

My god, I feel like I have ranted forever in here and yet there is nothing here. ^-^ Oh well...
