Gaian Gossip
Did you know the hardest place to catch fish is in Durem?
Feel like catching a fish? Well, 'less you've been at it for a while, stick with Bass'ken, the fish may be small, and hard to sell, they're a lot easier to catch than even the trash in Durem. Ready for a challenge but not willing to make the leap? The Port of Gambino offers you a challenge on catching fish, while its easy to catch trash. Note of advice, its usually trash if its slow moving and pulls only to one side (in Gambino only). Once your ready, go ahead and try Durem.
Once you're fished out, go head over to the market place and sell your fish. Many people collect the fish to get the items. Don't make prices too outrageous, look up other sales, and compare the number of game they're selling and their price.
Rather collect, go right ahead, just remember, you need a LOT of fish before you can get something from that old grump of a fisherman!

Horoscope ~ July 09, 2005  March 21- April 19 You've got one more day to strut your stuff, show off and let the world know just exactly how good you are at what you do. Finding an audience won't be a problem. Practice being modest and appreciative.  April 20 - May 20 You've never been short on ways to express your feelings for a loved one, and today will be no different. Your mission is to let your words go and say everything that's in your heart, with no holds barred.  May 21 - June 21 Your gift of gab has never been anything to sneeze at, but the universe just made it even more charmingly lethal. If you're not really interested, being too flirtatious now might not be a good idea.  June 22-July 22 Whether it's a jukebox, a Porsche or your brand new grilling machine, if you own it and you're proud of it, you'll have an irrepressible urge to polish it up and show it off to the world  July 23-August 22 Could your natural charm possibly become any more devastating? Yes. Amazing, but true. Be very careful where you point it, however. It's going to be a whole lot easier to turn it on than to turn it off.  August 23-September 22 Much as you want to, you still can't decide whether or not to talk about a certain situation. So you've been keeping quiet. Tough as it is, that's definitely the best plan of action -- for now.  September 23-October 22 Your primary goal is well within your reach, and much closer than it ever has been. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to take the one final step to ensure your success.  October 23 - November 21 Feel like showing off? Don't worry. It's not permanent and you won't ruin your intensely private reputation. We're all allowed the luxury of strutting our stuff every now and then. It's your turn. Think of your fans!  November 22-December 21 On the subject of travel, which has always been one of your favorites: You've never needed a travel partner, but right now, you're dying to bring one along -- the right one, though. Call them. Before you book.  December 22-January 19 It's not that you're uncomfortable with emotional intimacy. You just don't like to see people treat it lightly, and you prefer to only give private information about yourself to those who earn it -- as someone soon will. <  January 20-February 18 If you're attached, your sweetie is about to do something that will make you so proud, you'll barely be able to stand it. If you're not attached, someone who admires you will try to change that. Are you game?  February 19-March 20 You're not usually the type to show off -- not even when you absolutely, totally and completely deserve it. Well, get over it. Someone who admires you is about to force you to step into the spotlight. Oh, smile.

Interview story with....
Bonzi! Brought to Gaia by Wendigo29 in February of 2004, Bonzinut has become one of our most beloved CP members. A few days after his first visit and overcoming his first impression of "WTF is this???" Bonzi quickly became friends with Kawaii Katie, founder of the Exiled Geezers. Upon one of his first arrivals is when I had met him. Green haired, green eyes, with a dumbfounded grin, Bonzi was quiet and insane, a perfect fit to the exiles gang. Katie introduced us, and, after coxing me out from behind my mom, he asked me to dance, gave me a bonsai tree, and quickly became my friend and uncle. He also became the butt of many jokes in exiles, but he stayed with us.
Bonzi remained with the Exiles, until the unfortunate day that the Exiles were no more. Bonzi was left on his on to roam through "the GD areas" and bump in "BUMP threads." Finally Comfort Paradise was born (founded by Karyiann, later lead by Pesh) and Bonzi immediately found the couch, and vegged out. It wasn't long before Karyiann promoted the every posting Bonzi to 'mod' status, making Bonzi our oldest and, in my opinion, most beloved 'mod.'
As a mod, Bonzi has a very busy schedule. When he and I had a chance to chat, I was able to ask him what his daily schedule consisted of. This was his reply:
"Well, I check to see if I have any new PM's, via the neat little letter bubble that would appear by me on the 'welcome screen'. Then I mosy over to my closet where I would dress for the days activities. Then I would head on over to CP, and look for any important information that Peshie, or anyone else has posted.
Then I open a new window, and read any Journal entries from the Gaia Mods/Admins that are new, and my friends, then I look at the announcements, and Lanzer's Diary threads to see if there is any new info in those."
I was also able to ask Bonzi what he looks forward to on Gaia. He's looking forward to "the new Guild changes that are supposed to be coming out, the new sub-forums, and the houses." All if which he feels will be totally 'cool.' He's also interested in the new Tattoo shop, and the "walking through town" feature mentioned in Lanzer's journal. Bonzi also looks forward to a new avatar system which he hopes will allow more items to be worn together.
Despite being Zebra stripped and sparkly, Bonzi has remained with Gaia for over a year and a half, and loves every day with his Gaian friends and looks forward to each coming day.

Washi's:
WORD OF THE DAY
Hello! And welcome to the July 21st edition of WOTD. Todays word was brought to you by....ME! ^.^
The word for today is Ennui. Ennui is a noun. Its definition is 'A feeling of weariness and dissatification arising from lack of interest.
A good example is "He was often off sick or playing hooky and suffered from a kind of ennui, a mixture of listlessness and willful melancholy."
Ennui is from the French, from Old French enui, "annoyance," from enuier, "to annoy, to bore," from the Latin phrase in odium, "in hatred or dislike."
Ennui is not unlike 'boredom'.
And thats todays word of the day!

WORD OF THE WEEK
Hello! And welcome to the July 24/5th edition of WOTW. Todays word was brought to you by....ME! ^.^
The word for today is eke. Eke is a transitive verb. It means to gain or supplement with great effort or difficulty -- used with 'out'.
A good example is "Although life was hard it was not unendurable, and the rugged and resourceful villagers eked out a living on the thin crust of the soil.
Eke is from Old English ecan, "to increase."
Eke is not unlike ''to just get by".
And thats todays word of the week!

Q and A With Bonzinut
*does her best interviewer voice impression.*
Garish: So Bonzi, why got you interested in Gaia?
Bonzinut: My best friend IRL Wendigo29.
He told me about it, and I logged on...
and have been hooked ever since.
Garish: XD *adds Bonzi to the list of Gaia addicts.
Garish: What do you think could improve the Gaia experience? =P
Garish: Do you like chocolate covered Nachos? XD
(I know, that was so random.)
Bonzinut: What would make the Gaia experience better...
More ways to make gold...
That are somewhat easy..
The 'walk around' feature that is coming out..
Which is the prelude to the battle system..
I've never had chocolate covered nachos... but it sounds yummy.
Garish: XD
Garish: What's your favorite color?
Bonzinut: Green... and blue
Garish: Is it true you still carry a blankie? XD
Bonzinut: no.. I don't still carry my blankie.
Garish: What do you like to do for fun in your free time?
Bonzinut: I like poking fun at people...
having fun with friends...
cooking.
computers...
Garish: How do you feel about being part of the guild crew?
Bonzinut: I love it...
the power...
the responsibility..
I fell like Genie in Aladdin...
PHONOMIAL COSMIC POWER.....
itty bitty living space.
Garish: What do you like about CP, and what would you change?
Bonzinut: I like the people..
I like the atmosphere.
the games, the mix of characters.
something I would change....
that's a tough one...
I would like to see more people on at one time...
maybe more members, but the ones that are in there are great!
Garish:what are some of your responsibilities as crew member?
Bonzinut: I handle the guild member of the month...
umm..
I am supposed to be in charge of guild events..
but with the addition of Hufa as Mod...
she has taken over that...
thankfully.. because I wasn't that great at it.
I approve membership requests..
and sometimes bannings.
I patrol the forums for any 'illegal' content,
and react accordingly.
and generally make things light and easy for all members, with laughter.
Garish:Is there anything about being a crew member you dislike?
Bonzinut: getting pm's from people that have been banned...
its the fact that they get kinda defensive and mean...
but that is usually when I just ban them..
and don't send a pm first.
but that is pretty much the only thing I dislike about being a mod.
Garish: What's your favorite item on Gaia?
Bonzinut:I would have to say the mini wings..
or the nightmare headband...
the nightmare headband was the first thing I got from a pink box.
Garish: oh nice
Is there an item you wish you had?
Bonzinut: the Panda hat..
and the halo of course...
but then I would get sooooo many pm's from people wanting it..
I don't think that I could handle it.
Garish: bunny slippers, I wanted those for a while but gave up on them. XP
they're not worth the price they are.
Bonzinut: ahh.. ya.. that’s true.
I would like to have the black bow tie...
but its not worth the price either.
