when i was a newbie, i tried to complete legit every event, even the pavs...
by some miracle it actually worked half the time, so i've had the huge bg piece from cerise's gift pretty much since i can remember (it's great for making red carpets) and i don't have to stress about hell returns now b/c i impulse bought wasteland jewel on her first run (big elephant bby was the main reason)
anyway sorry for rambling but basically, newbie me was so dumb lucky and i think the cold harsh reality is just starting to hit me now... ok bye
