Opening Statement

I can't recall exactly when it was, but about two years ago I heard about gaia. However, school, an addicton to neopets, and the slowest internet connection imaginable sealed my decision not to make an account. I told myself that someday I would come back to it, and regret that i hadnt started sooner. Today is April 12 2006. I've been a proud Gaian for a scant 22 days. I can only imagine how much cheaper some of the items i've seen must have been two years ago. Like i predicted, i regret not joining sooner.

As soon as I saw the AFK I fell in love with it, and seeing the price of it just crushed me. Someday I will quest for it, but for now i am sticking to more reachable items.

I do not expect many donations (but anything would be loved!). This is more of a place for me to watch my progress and encourage myself to keep questing.

The Quest

In a short time I have completed all of my smaller quests, so now its time to set my sights on the big stuff. Three expensive, pixeled items have caught my eye. Thier names are Nitemare Scarf, AFK, and OMG. Insane, I know. But I haven't let that stop me before. Don't get me wrong, I am not a newbie wishing for things that will never happen. I know that with my gaian income, and with inflation, I will probably have to spend a year questing for each item. Don't come in here and tell me it's impossible, or that I'm being greedy. I will get this quest done eventually. It is not a lost cause. Nitemare Scarf is up first. It's May 30, 2006. Let's see how long this takes.

Updates

Old Quest News can be found Here!

05-30-2006 With no gold to my name, I start out on my Nitemare Scarf Quest. Recieved 3k from Gifts of Gold, and donated 1.5k of that to DonationFairy01's Charity.
06-05-2006 I won 3k from page prizes.
06-06-2006 Big Penguin Charity donates 10k!
06-07-2006 Eckrutikes Charity donates 100 gold!
06-08-2006 Faries Charity donates 100 gold!
06-09-2006 I won 10k in one of isaac Newton's leaving gaia contests, the poem one to be exact. Have fun playing WoW. Won 4870 gold for being highest bumper at XScurvy_PenguinX's goodbye thread... kinda sad, lots of nice people are leaving.
06-10-2006 Neko is going to faint. She just won 100k in a short story contest at Gifts of Gold Charity!!!!! Since I have over 150k in funds now, the first story installment has been released! Scroll to the last few posts to enter the randomness! My friend Hatusaru won a lottery too, and I gave her 3k so she could finish her penguin slippers quest!
06-14-2006 Its been a good day. Aerris and her wonderful Quest for Happiness Charity donated 20k, 5k of which I will use in a lottery to support Donation Fairy Charity. Pixel Fantastic Charity also donated a whopping 5k!!!
06-15-2006 Ooooh, pretty dark halo was released. Neko sold one for 30k right when they came out. I'm going to keep the other one, and I may horde a few once the price dies down a bit. I bet they will be like the angelbows... DonationFairy01 and Hatusaru gave Neko her wind security blanket too, and Neko gave them 4k to get back the fairy's coco.
06-17-2006 Broke down and bought the silly Chyaku Norisu scarf for 12k. I bet I'll want it eventually. Otherwise, the price is bound to go up and I can just resell it.
06-18-2006 *makes contact from an airport* Gosh, i love wireless internet access. Anyway, Diva from Diva's Charity gave Neko 40 sunflowers to add to her collection!
06-20-2006 Nuuuuuuuuuu!!!! Neko hates the new look!!! It burns her eyes *cries* Diva donates another 100 flowers!!! *huggles her*
06-21-2006 It's Diva's summer bash!!!! Whoooot!!! Batsuyori donates a Basic Fishing Rod!
06-22-2006 Meia donates 26 sunflowers!!!
06-25-2006 Neko recieves about 2500 gold in items from Troggard and a sunflower!
06-26-2006 KrisConway donates 202 gold!
07-01-2006 Neko was selected by Diva's Charity, and will be recieving a total of 15k through weekly donations!!!
07-02-2006 The first donation from Diva's charity arrives!! 2,200 gold! The One Winged Foundation donates 5k!!!
07-03-2006 The Quest for Happiness sends another donation, 10k!!! AngelSunami donates 18 sunflowers!
07-05-2006 Beach Bum to Believer Charity donates 10k!!! And Neko joins Hatu's Charity since Tiff left *sniff* Quest on hold while I save for 2 sealed letters. The opening date is still throwing me off...
07-06-2006 Donated 1500 gold to Hatu's Charity as part of my new job there ^___^ It's a bit silly to nominate yourself for something, but I gave it a shot. And Neko is now a Quest for a Questor Nominee! [ Gung Xi ] (Of Big Penguin Charities) gave Neko his sunflower collection!! 388 of them!!
07-07-2006 The [.Crack.]-Headed Charity donates 1k to help me get my sealeds!!! Sent Hatu another 1.5k for her charity. I know it doesnt make much sense while questing, but I love helping her. But Neko forgot to mention she is being sold a 3k letter from the One Winged Foundation. So things even out. I invested in 2 cocos as well, their price keeps going up. And I bought one of those insanely overpriced sealeds for 9.5k. My poor scarfie funds.
07-08-2006 Blew some more gold on entering the avie arena. I doubt I'll even place, but the outfit was pretty funny at the time. I'll reveal what it is when voting starts. To make up for lost gold I tossed my XL gaia tshirt into the scarfie funds. After all, its not too hard to save up for, and its not even on this avie. The 3k letter from the One Winged Foundation arrives!
07-09-2006 The second donation of 2.2k from Diva's Charity arrives! After a bit of polling, 1.5k goes to Hatu! Rippled Cupcake donates 150 gold!
07-10-2006 Neko is in the avie arena as Melted Pocky!!! Whoot!!! Neko donated 1k to [-T o K i-], another staff member at Grand Wishing Tree, for her coco quest. Invested in Golden Laurels for 165k.
07-12-2006 I donated 1.5k to Hatu's Charity again! And bought another sealed.
07-14-2006 Neko was one off from a page contest, but Huggiebear gave her a consolation prize of an amazing 10k!!! *dies* I'm counting it as a donation, since it wasnt really a win. She didnt have to do that.
07-15-2006 Gave ZeroDarkness 3k to buy avie art. Sold a few sealeds and my dark halo too. I dont think I'll ever wear it, i dont like the look of it. Now if it had just been a plain ring like the halo it would be perfect, but they added that odd spike/jagged edge to it... I bought a Maid Headband for no reason though. It looks cute on OMFG.
07-16-2006 2200 gold came from Diva's charity! But now its closed. At least Neko will se Diva at her quest thread.
07-17-2006 Donated 1.5k to Hatu's Charity again!
07-19-2006 Bought and sold a bunch of items. My current offer is about 380k, much more than 300k, so the second story segment has been released. Go randomness!
07-29-2006Woah, I havent updated in a while. Bought and sold more cocos, went to camp and back... nothing out of the ordinary.
07-30-2006 OMIGOSH!!!! I GOT MY SCARF AT ZERO WULFE'S GIVEAWAY!!!!! EXACTLY 2 MONTHS AGO I STARTED THIS QUEST!!! AND I FINISHED!!!! MY 400k IS GOIN' TO CHARITY! Dont Poke The Penguin1 got an OMFG from Neko, and MitsukiKoneko of course got her CoCo. Veixlar got 30k to finish his nm scarf quest too! 150k to Hatu's charity.
07-31-2006 Kyotoso donates 4k, KoNfUzEd MoNoChRoMe ToE SoX, and a Single Blue Carnation Bouquet.
08-02-2006 Got 25k for making Beachfeet a profile.
08-06-2006 Recieved a BTK and Demonbow from SatchellTheMighty! His giveaway was awesome! Luka Alatus gave me a february 2005 letter too so I could get a lunar cloak!!!
08-07-2006 cutie_0089 randomly sent me a Salmon Audio Reciever!
08-09-2006 Neko got two anonymous gifts.... an Easter Bunny Shirt and a Paperbag Cap.
08-11-2006 Happy Birthday to Meia!!! *breaks into song* Twi sent her some cute widdle doll ears.
08-12-2006 Aerris and her Quest for Happiness has donated yet again, 5k!!!! *huggles her*
08-15-2006 The 24 hour Neko Giveaway has come and gone. It was insanely fun- I'm doing it again sometime. 150k in prizes went out ^___^. I love the new donation items! For no apparent reason I feel like questing my dark halo back.... so thats what I'll do now, before I make an AFK and OMG thread. [Kaoru-chan] donates 12 sunflowers! Hatusaru donates 14 sunflowers! Finished the 1000 sunflower Questy. Meia donated 50 sunflowers too!
08-17-2006 Made a new thread for the AFK and OMG quest. I originally intended to stay at this thread, but I want a change ^_^ Goodbye thread! This place will no longer be updated.
