   I <3 AIM.
Today was a rather unproductive day. I had a tough time getting to bed last night, and eventually wound up taking an Ambien at 1:40AM. A little while after that, I actually got to sleep; yay.

I got up this morning and did a bunch of things that weren't productive, and then I received an IM from another OB member. I think his OB name is Dark Assailant, but I'm not sure.

He had seen the plea in my signature, calling out to all my fellow duelists. I needed someone to play, and he was available. And so, we dueled.

I was winning the first duel, but he blew up one of his monsters and did damage to both of us, and the duel ended in a draw. The second duel, I changed decks. Instead of my fun little LifePoint gain deck, he had to face my Beatdown deck. >:D

Victory was practically assured. :p

And I did, in fact, win the second duel. But the rules of the game said that we had to play the third duel, to determine whether the Match would be mine, or if it would be a draw.

Dun dun dunnnnnnnnnn.......

I used my Beatdown again, but he brought out his Black Luster Soldier-Envoy of the Beginning. That thing is just ridiculously powerful and rather simple to bring to the field. Add to that a slew of other monsters, and he had me beat.

But not before I took down his Black Luster Soldier. >=/

I summoned a special monster that weakened his BLS, and then I powered up one of my other creatures, an Archfiend Soldier. With the difference in power now shifted, his Soldier was Archfiend food. >:D

I had gotten myself into a sort of lock, though. He had a monster that could bypass my monsters if all I had were powerful ones. He destroyed the weaker one, and then attacked directly for game. Bah. Jerk. :p

The Match was a Draw, and we parted friends.

Shortly thereafter, my friend John from St. B's signed on. I was more than happy to introduce him to the world of AIM dueling. =P Our battle was soon underway.

As the duel progressed, he filled up his field with monsters and I just gained more and more LifePoints. I had at one point doubled the 8000 LifePoints I had started with. Unfortunately, I had few monsters that could deal damage to him.

With his horde of little monsters, he chipped away at the weaker monsters I played onto the field. They were weak in stats, but I used their effects to further my LifePoint gain.

And then, John wiped out my protective Spell cards and all hell broke loose. In one swift move, he dropped me down from 14000 LifePoints to 9100, still over the beginning mark. Then he got lucky, and summoned a powerful monster. I was out of cards in my hand, and only two on my field. I was topdecking, living off of my deck. The only monsters I had were those that were left in my deck, and I could only hope that I drew them.

In the end, he beat me with his Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and even then, his LifePoints were down to 3100. It was very long, very drawn out, and a heck of a lot of fun. ^__________^

I shall have to build more Decks for this. :) My love of the game is renewed! Yay!

I'll get the exact wording of all four duels up on my FreeWebs site soon. Then you can see the play by play action. ~_^

I'll bet no more than three of you out there reading would understand any of it. XD

But still, those who do will see how awesome it was. ^_^

Other than that, I mowed another lawn and made $20. A Subway opened up down the street from me, so I imagine that I'll be eating there a lot, just as soon as they start serving wraps.

I'm still very conscious of my eating, and I know I didn't eat enough today. I was just too busy having fun. :p

So, yay for Yu-Gi-Oh and yay for the new Adventure Underground. With the A.U., hopefully I can keep W.H.A.T.E. the RPG from going under and maybe I'll finally finish it. ^_^

I've also begun my Yu-Gi-Oh RPG, Yu-Gi-Oh: Worlds Collide. I've got a couple of good people working on it, so hopefully things will turn out for the better.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How could I come this close to forgetting?!

I'm going to Maine again tomorrow. It's just for the weekend, but I thought you'd all like to know ahead of time. >_>;;

We're going up for the annual family reunion, full of adults I never remember and cousins I swear I've never met. There's usually some good food, and I might decide to cheat a little from my healthy eating. Some of the stuff is very, very good.

Who knows? Maybe I'll be surprised and find that one of my distant cousins is a duelist. :D

And, yeah. I've rambled on long enough, I think.
