Rawr!

I prefer android, though the brand doesn't really matter. My phones tend to be on the cheaper side, haha.

@Kira: Wouldn't that be nice? Still, I only work 3 days a week, and I am getting some serious knitting done ... and getting paid for it!

I work in a call center. Usually, it's one phone call after another after another.

Now? They put us in a new program. Comcast Migration. Transferring data from one system to another, for Comcast.

I received 10 records to transfer today.

10 records.

8 and a half hours.

Dear Yevon, save me from the boredom!

@So What: Same. Towards the end, I never actually posted, just logged on for a minute or two to get my daily gold - and there was quite a bit of it! - and to play one or two of the mini games. I have to admit, the fishing game was fun. Still, I never made any friendships or even had any interesting conversations - not like I do here!

@So What: Welcome to Voltra! There seem to be a lot of refugees from Gaia lately, haha. It isn't really a surprise - Gaia is so big that your comments/posts get lost in the mix more often than not, and posting isn't even a focus anymore - you can just visit and play the mini games, and get all the gold you could ever want. So much for the "community" part of an avatar community site ...

@insomniapatient: Same. It was nice back in the day, but they're just stretching themselves too thin trying to incorporate anything and everything they can think of, instead of focusing and actually doing a good job of developing their features. Still, Voltra is doing a damn good job of stepping up and filling the void left by Gaia <3

@insomniapatient: Not to mention that earning gold was waaaaay too easy on Gaia. By the time you finished visitng each of the pages - and getting the free items/gold - you could just switch over to the games, and never actually post in the forums. One or two games are always nice on a community site, but they added so many that the 'community' feature was almost pushed to the background!

@insomniapatient: I'm glad you like it so much! It's nice actually being able to post, and not be drowned by the 100 other posts like in Gaia O_o

Welcome to Voltra! I used to be on Gaia back in the day, but it just wasn't the same after my friend - username of shadowhakka on Gaia - passed away. That was OUR site, and using it without him just felt ... wrong.

But welcome to Voltra, anwhoo :) I'm sure you'll love it here.

Welcome to Voltra! I'm sure you'll love it here :) I'm not super active - the last time I logged in was about a month ago! - but I always end up gravitating back to Voltra. It's one of the best avatar/community sites left, since Gaia has become pretty much spam-fest and a micro transaction land of too many voices for your thoughts to possibly be heard!

@Saeyra: There's more to this than just good times vs bad times. I actually have a very good life - steady job, boyfriend, steady housing, mother who loves me, etc. It's more complicated than that.

But I am definitely looking forward to the trip. I've never been good at settling down and staying in one place, and I've been here for close to 3 years now, just traveling maybe half an hour away from my house. And I'm used to traveling a whole lot more than that. Not to mention living in the country has never been for me - and you don't get much more country than small towns in Maine!

Currently downloading ESO - damn, it's a large download!

Currently playing DDO - Dungeons and Dragons Online - in my spare time, though. That is one game that I always end up coming back to, haha.

I just finished Dishonored on my PS3 - and I got the good ending!

Playing Final Fantadsy X and X-2 on my PS3 - another game series I continually come back to! I love the story of FFX, and FFX2 has so many extra features and side quests, not to mention I love the world of Spira.
