Gold Membership

I've spent my day like I've always done. With family and video games, but I come online today and see when I commented on a story I read, I had a gold name tab and a gold ingot next to my name. So, without making myself looking like an idiot, I looked it up and saw that I had a gold membership. At first, I was confused about it. I didn't remember anything about getting gold membership. After my swing of emotions varying from confusion to fear, all the way to anger, I decided to leave it at that. I spent the entire day not working on fanfics and other things and just enjoyed myself. After a full day of doing nothing but killing zombies and specimens, I feel refreshed and my mind does not have a constant headache. I've spent roughly the last three months doing nothing but schoolwork and writing, and for about three weeks, I've had a constant headache and I turned spiteful. My temper was a lot quicker then it was before spending all my time working, varying from part time job to school, then coming home and doing more schoolwork, and spending what time I have in between chores and everything else writing. *sigh* I'm getting off topic. I can think clearly, and the day off from writing certainly helped me. I'll be able to spend the rest of my spring break working on fanfics and taking the occasional break and headache medicine. End of that. I didn't know what gold membership did, or does, but I don't intend to find out. I'll leave it alone, and if you choose to inform me on what it allows, I'll read it and reply back to see if it conflicts with what others have said.
