It's almost the Easter Weekend!! Yay!!

I'm not religious. Well, I religiously play FFXI now, does that count? So when my schedule has it so I've got the whole 3-day Easter weekend off, YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm excited to play FFXi pretty much the entire time! I've got so many things to do!! Let's see then...

Earlier this week, I obtained my Magnifying Spectacles! Clothcraft skill +1 Hooray! This is mostly thanks to Eugene, who's let me borrow his character while I'm camping HNMs to farm up the billion silk threads I needed (I'll need a billion more...). I'm still low level , but I think I'm going to be working hard at this whenever I can.

I've started going campagin again, ofcourse, but I haven't managed my next medal yet. Oy. I've got to put hours into that - with the server merger campagin is a joke. Mobs are beaten too fast, it takes too long for a campagin to start, etc. Blah.

I've also started on those trial weapon thingys. I'm going after the Cure Potency staff. Still on stage 1, and still have to kill like 70 treants.... but so does another galka-friend....

I haven't gotten Odin or Alexander.. I haven't learned wtf VNMs are yet.... I feel so behind, but these next 3 days, let's see what I can't catch up on!!!

Love & Tails

Non-FFXi Material: Books

A lot of people complain about camping in the HNMLS scene. I've done my fair share of whining, usually it's just because it takes away from other in-game materials.

Most of the time, however, I'll quickly pass the time by reading. Reading is one of my favorite hobbies.

I don't read very interesting books, they're mostly just for pleasure, just for me.

When I started playing again Friday night, I helped camp Dark Ixion. I started Hourglass, by Claudia Gray. It's a #3 in the Evernight Series. Yes, it's about vampires. Today I finished it, a lot of time thanks to maintence. I'm pretty pissed about the ending, talk about cliffhanger. This book just got released this month too, I'll probably have to wait a year + to read the next novel. Sighs!

Next: Broken, by Kelly Armstrong. Mrs Armstron is a Canadian Author! Proud ^^ She's written this Women of the Underworld seris. It's pretty awesome. This book has got the only female werewolf now pregnant. Let's see how this pans out....

Synergy

man, fuck this shit. i don't get it at all :(

All a Mithra needs is her Tail.... and Friends!

Here's an update, proper with pictures and all.

I'm doing this while the game is in maintenance. It's going to be all day and I probably won't be able to get into the downloading until late late tomorrow. Most of my LS logged in DA, preparing for the new merger from Hades... That's going to be interesting. I'm told that about 3 HNMLS' are joining our scene. I can't think how crowded DA is going to be, as well as our other HNM spots. The competition between our HNMLS' is enough - to add more? I'm not sure if this is going to be adding excitment or more frustration. Probably a bit of both, mostly the latter. When we're camping versus 1 or 2 other LS', the chances WE claim, or will claim, is still pretty high. Now there is a chance that your LS may not claim over 5-6 LS' , and after a few days of losing claim .. morale is going to go low, people's attitudes are going to drop, and all over negativity.

Thankfully, my HNMLS is super pro and we'll be the ones always claiming. Phew. ;)




Above ^ is a screenshot of my friends and family! Yoli, to the right, is my "sister". She's my fellow, with a sisterly personality. Much better than my husbands Galka. He's a total asshole. Anyway, here we are, I think we just got Cerpy's his dune boots. Or something. I really forget.


Above ^ Fireworks from Bastok! Pretty!


Above ^ KS99. I think Wolftamer is trying to sneak a peek at the camera ;)

Above ^ is a screenshot of some name strange monster in Xarcabard [S]. Ya know, it's really a shame that SE developers take the time to develop these creepy looking things, all crazy with different TP abilities and moves and yet, no one in their right mind would want to farm on these or even fight them. They're pretty useless, insofar I know. And probably don't drop anything worthwhile. And probably very hard to kill, especially solo. I think. Maybe I should test this theory before typing -- I think I will. Eep!


Above ^ shows just how Short short tarus are. That orange thing? That's under Tiamat's belly.


Above ^ What's more relaxing than riding your chocobos in the sunset? Riding towards Adamantoise, that's what! (OPs were down).

I played all weekend. It's a little different, but I actually really enjoyed myself, solo and with friends. I farmed a lot, played with Yoli alot (DING 65! Grats YOLI!) I'm thinking of collecting the Fellow points so that she can hear the Opaline Dress outfit. It's pretty!

We caught Sandworm (Serket) and Dark Ixion. He popped near me in my zone and it scared me!

I also helped a couple people getting sea organs (Grats Breeze Gorget Wolf!), also I helped do the crazy BCNM in the La Vaule [S].. you know the one where you have to kill NMs for boxes? That shit was mad easy. Then afterwards we re-collected more boxes from more NMs, and that was fun. I stayed up all night! I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but I really would prefer to be on a job that has movement speed. It just makes me more useful in the harder parts of the game. Plus, my vent is always lagging. That really sucks, but living where I do now, I'm not sure I can change that.


Other updates I don't have pictures of;

RDM AF2 Hat - O
PLD AFS Body - O

DNC - LVL69
DRG - LVL68

Goldsmithing - 2!

Peg Powler VANQUISHED (came across him accidentally this morning lol)


My Goals this time around;
-Learn how to Synergy
-Catch up on WotG
-Beat ACP


Did you hear about the LVL99 cap? What job are you going to try to level up? I think my BRD or RDM would level the quickest, but I would really love to level BLM to 99 as well. BOOM BABY!

Hi.

Are you still there?


Why?

I need to make some porriage and I'll be updating soon.



Here's the scoop: I quit. I came back again. Lasted a day. I quit. Came back. A week. Quit again, and now I'm back. I lasted all weekend long, I'm hoping for a month now. :)

Reasons why I quit: Schedule change, schedule difficulties, RL friends, RL family, IG (in game) assholes, IG people that I just cannnnnnot fathom WHY I'd rather spend time with them than be in my IRL thats without them.

Reasons I came back: Schedule change, IG friends, IG family, I forgot how much of a total asshole she is, and thought she can't be SO bad, can she?

Reason I quit again: She is.

Reasons I'm back: Schedule change, bigger blocks of freetime, IG friends, and my plans of telepathic death.

HD Ka-boom

My HD brokedown.

I lost my 3,000 screenshots. I lost my photoshop. I lost my cool brushes and fonts and. Everything.

Orz. So I went on the "back up computer".

I started to write macros again and started to collect screenshots, I started to download FFXI things, like Vent, etc.

Then the sound card broke in the "back up computer."

Mother-frak.


BLEH.

I like to Game.

So yesterday I downloaded Audition again. I can't seem to get my last character back. . . although I got my old screename back. I guess it dosen't carry over? It's too bad, considering the amount of beats and Cash I had. :( If you know how to fix it..... halps!


oh and FFXI = yay.
