Favorites

Painter: Adolphe-William Bouguereau
Music Artist: I love sooo much music that it's nigh on impossible for me to actually have a favorite artist/group. Right now, though, I'm really big into Regina Spektor.
Song: Again, it would be hard for me to choose. I do have very fond memories of dancing to "Oh Babe, What Would You Say" by Hurricane Smith with my mom when I was a kid.
Flowers: Stargazer Lily, Hydrangea, Lilac, Hibiscus, Lavender, Tulip.
Books: As with music, I enjoy reading so much that I doubt I could pick a single favorite book. I do enjoy Edgar Allan Poe, Emily Dickinson, Shakespeare, Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchet, Lynn Kurland, Garth Nix, etc. I also enjoyed reading The Dastard by Piers Anthony, The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien, Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden, The Hero and the Crown by Robin McKinley, and The Blue Sword by Robin McKinley, and Mythology by Edith Hamilton.

My Real Life

There's really not a whole lot to say. I spent all of high school focused on my Army JROTC class. I signed up with the Air National Guard and after I graduate high school went on to basic training. Immediately afterward, I pipelined to my six-month long AF technical school. I fell in love with my best friend while I was there. I now reside with him and am working on getting myself to college...finally! I plan to major in International Studies, given my passion for language and culture.

Ideas

So...I've had some ideas for Gaia floating around in my head. I've posted them and what-not but nobody seems to think they're anything fantastic, so I guess I'll just write them down in here.

1) You should be able to delete your avatar or whatever WITHOUT losing hair you've paid for. You should either get to keep the hair, or be reimbursed for the amount of gold the hair cost to buy.

2) There should be a way to color your hair. I don't know about y'all, but sometimes I just get sick of the color of my hair, but not the style. I don't want to have to pay the amount of gold it takes to buy the entire hairstyle if I already have it. Perhaps it could be made that you would still have to pay some sort of fee to change your hair color, but I think it should be half the price or less than what the hair style originally cost.

3) One word. Dueling. I think it would be fun to have some sort of way to duel. Something like the way duels are conducted in Flyff. We could have HP and all that jazz when we're in the Dueling arena and then outside the arena, we could have titles under our names and a fame score.

Anyway, those are just some thoughts I've had running around in my head.
