Making love to my ego, because all the time, I'm just fine
The saccharine bliss of words almost makes up for the under lying poison they deliver to us all eventually. We all feel the comfort, and we'll all die from the poison. But at least we'll die with smiles on our faces and sweetnes on our lips.
charity
I dont have a wishlist, I wont ever have a wishlist. My Charity is through altruism, not pity. If I offer to buy you something, you dont have to buy something for me in the future. I especially despise messages from people concerning thier trying to amass gold, or requesting an item. Yes, I will confess in my inventory, I have alot of items, many of which I dont use, but should I choose to confer such items on to another it is my choice. Requesting items of me or sending out general PMs asking me for help when I have never once in my entire time on gaia asked anyone for anything or put any kind of list in my sig of things I want is something I find highly insulting. If you want something, come straight out, request it politely, and stop, I don't enjoy hearing people whine about what they dont have, I dont enjoy being harassed because I have something you want. What is mine, is mine and mine alone till I choose to relinquish my possesion of it. If I start a trade with you and have not previously indicated some item I wish to exchange, dont offer me anything, take what I'm giving and move forward and dont mention what I have done ever again. My random acts of charity are just a part of who I am, there is no motivation behind them, and it disgusts me to have them thrown back in my face or be solicited when I have given quite generously overall. If you want something, go about it with some dignity, dont depend upon others exclusively.

I know the feeling. More or less, the main reason why I don't have a charity any more.

Amen to that.

I am guilty of putting things in my siggy that I have wanted. I have had the uncommon good fortune of having strangers give me things that I feel that I don't deserve, but otherwise would have never been able to get on my own.

I've also had a friend complain about how I've used them for items, and after talking to him, and feeling incredibly crushed by the accusation, returned every last thing that he ever gave me. I don't want to be labelled as one who is a friend for the purpose of what I get out of that person.

I believe that giving should be something you do because you want to, not with the expectation of getting anything from that person.
