Welcome to The Shining Tree!

Hello! I'm Totaleclipse, and I'd like to welcome you to The Shining Tree, my quest for golden laurels. This is my first quest on Gaia. I'm fairly new here, but I've become very enthusiastic during my short time on the site. When I first entered Gaia, I discovered that I liked the golden laurels, and set a goal to acquire some. I have been saving for nearly my entire tenure here. However, the price is jumping steeply on them.

Throughout the month of July, I have been accumulating gold on my own via voting on polls and posting on different threads. However, I only accumulated 7,500g thus far by this method. I'll keep trying, but I need help.

Although I've tried hard by myself to buy the laurels, the inflation rate on Gaia is very high, and getting worse. As someone who's new, I've spent very little on the rest of my wardrobe, because my goal was set on a highly priced item.

So I'm asking you, my fellow Gaians, if you would like to help me by donating gold to my quest. If not, bumps are welcomed, encouraged, and appreciated to help keep this thread alive. If you want to stay and talk, that's fine too! I often pass the time by quoting song lyrics, so feel free to try and guess. I may reward you with lots of bumps for correct guesses.

I thank you for the time you've spent reading this, and any help you might give!

I ask that everyone follow these simple rules so that
the thread stays clean, focused, and pleasant for
everyone. Thank you for helping with this!

~ Follow the ToS. (duh)
~ Please don't PM me asking for donations. Everything I have is going towards my quest. Also, please don't PM my donors asking for donations. That's what charities are for, and bothering these nice people won't make them more likely to give.
~ Please use proper English. I may be new-ish, but I'm not a newb. Nothing annoys me more than chatspeak. Nothing.
~ Please don't make fun of, or flame others. Everyone has more fun when people are nice.
~ No page stretching.
~ No advertising.

That's all. See, not that wasn't so painful, was it?
