3am, I'm at work. Have been for an hour now... ;_; Just saying that sucks beyond all belief. And it's gonna snow again any time now, supposedly.

So what am I doing for T-Giving? Well, like I've said... I work til 10, then I'm going home and watching some football, eating some turkey, taking a nap, and coming back to work tonight at 10pm. It's not something I'm all too happy about, but meh.. Whatever.

There's only 3 things I'm looking to pick up this Black Friday. And actually, one of them I'm getting today since we have a special Thursday Onry ad. They have this deluxe poker chip set in a metal case half off, for 25 bucks. There's also a poker table for 120 (reg 200), but that's a little too much for me right now. ^^;; Then tomorrow, video games are buy one get 2nd 60% off, but I don't know if there are any games I need right now. (well, DQ8, but we don't have it for some reason... =/ ) Then, we also have DVD-R 25pk for 10 bucks. I'm running low on those, so I'll need to grab some more.

I don't really have anyone to shop for, since as far as family goes, we're just buying big stuff for each other, and everyone's chipping in. So I owe 50 bucks toward this, 50 bucks toward that... The only thing I really have to "buy" is this phone off ebay for my dad. Heh. And yeah.... There's X-Mas at my house for ya... =/

Played the demo for FF12..... ZOMG SW33T!!!!!! It plays so much like FFXI that it's scary.... In fact, if I didn't know any better, I'd say it's a cross between 11 and Tactics. Because that's really how it feels... And that my friends.....is a good thing. b^_^

Almost done downloading IIDX 10th Style. If my comp didn't keep crashing when downloading bittorents, it'd be done. But meh.....what can ya do? I'm just glad someone has their upload rate set to max, cause when it's going, it's at a steady 60-80kb/sec. Which is better than say 20-30, which is what I have to deal with on those Eurobeat packs. (that i STILL haven't finished downloading.. >>;;;;) So it'll only take me 3 days to download the game, where as it took a week and a half for the first Eurobeat pack. And they're both around 4GB.

But again.....if my computer didn't keep crashing on bt usage, it'd be done by now... And probably the Euro too... Heh. ^^;;


Ok, maybe I should do some work.
And maybe YOU should talk to me on AIM. ^_~ (krisnwo420 if i don't answer, it's cause i'm busy) (or didn't hear it)

I hate snow.... Especially at 4:30 in the morning... -_-;;;;

Those of you that say "omg, i wish i had snow here"... Yeah, try saying that after you have to drive on it... ^^;;; Not fun.


@work, bored, etc.

I can think of a couple people that need to talk to me on AIM more often. Or need to period. ^_^

Listening to the new SoaD right now.... Meh. Again, I'm not happy with a release. Both of these two CD's, while I'm sure they're trying something different... It is just that....different... Nowhere as good as the old stuff was. Which is kinda sad, cause the old stuff rocked. This stuff? Meh... =/

I guess nothing will be as good as Toxicity and Steal This Album.


Downloading IIDX 10th Style right now. Teh awesome.

With any luck, I'll be 65 with Dragoon this weekend. And I'm happy, cause they're about to make our job teh massive UBER in the next update. =D


And I guess that's it...

TALK TO ME ON AIM!!!!!!!!!!! (krisnwo420)

So yeah. Like I said, I'm gonna stop talking about FFXI in this journal. I'll save that for my LJ. I'm only gonna talk about real life stuff here. (and maybe occasional ffxi stuff that makes me happy.... like how i gained a level last night... =D )


Going off what Levi said in a comment yesterday. Really, the only friends I have are the few that read this, and you all live over 1000 miles away. I have nothing up here. That's why I'm trying so hard to move away from here, and get down there already. As long as I stay here, I'll be nothing but miserable. I've already come to that conclusion.

And going off what Seth said... I wish it was that easy. I wish I could just ask. But I'm too down on myself, and lack the confidence to just go balls out with stuff. The fear of rejection is what stops me from a lot of the stuff I do. That, and the whole "i'm 24, and need to act responsible" thing. I was asked why I've played FFXI for almost 2 years now, and I don't have any job at 75 yet. (75 is the highest level you can get) There are people who can get from 1 to 75 in a couple months. But 2 years, and nothing. My answer? Because I work at 5am. I can't pull the all-nights like other people. I have to be responsible, and know that I work in the morning, and have to get some sleep. I can't be like the kids that play and stay up all night, then sleep thru school the next day.

That's why I say I wish I was 18 again. Before I had job, bills, responsibility. And maybe that's why I keep getting attracted to girls in that age range......to try to live my life thru them. Sigmund Froud (sp) would have a field day trying to figure me out... ^^;;;


But yeah.... So if anyone is single, or has any single friends, and yeah... ^^;;; Come on, you guys hooked Tala up with someone; why not me? XD


This is the week from hell for me.... I hate working retail during Thanksgiving week.... Example? My work schedule:

Today was 5-1.
Tomorrow off
Wednesday 5-1
Thursday 2am-10am
Thursday night 10pm-6am friday morning
Saturday off
Sunday off

Well... Ok, so I'm giving myself the weekend off.. But I gotta work at 2am Thursday morning, then come back Thursday night and pull an all nighter. That'll suck. But then I get to watch the Texas/Texas A&M game, and be happy. =D

Normally I wouldn't have the weekend off tho. The other guy in my department is moving to Michigan next week, so it'll be back to just being me. But if he's still here, then I'm gonna take my last chance to have a weekend off. If they don't like it, tough. Deal with it. I deserve it.


=D


I guess that's it for now. Wheeeeeee

Ok. So like....there's at least 3 girls out there that I'm like crazygonuts aboot. If it's not "in love", then it's definetly "a pretty big damn infatuation".

So the first is the girl I play FFXI with. And yes, she's an actual girl... =P We text each other like all the time, do stuff in the game together, and yeah. Tho as of late, she's been doing more stuff in the game, and I've been left behind....but yeah... And I've been a bit of a whiney little bitch about it......probably making her think less of me.... >>;;; But still. I know I stand no chance with her. She's only 17, lives with military parents and older brothers, doesn't see the point in relationships, and might actually make something out of her life. I'd prolly just get in the way of that. Tho at this point, I'd definetly say she's probably my best friend right now.... And I smile every time I hear my phone go off saying I have a text message. But this is one of those things that just won't happen for quite a while.

Another girl, I won't name. Talk to her online often, and she really seems like she understands me. Very very very few people do, but somehow she does. We met in person, and it just... It didn't seem the same to me. Seemed like a totally different person than the one I knew online. Maybe I'm just crazy about the online version. Or maybe she was a bit distracted at the time. Who knows. But the feelings came back, and now it's too late. Nothing new there.



It's sad tho... Any of the girls I would want to try to go out with and whatnot, I'm just way too old. I keep going for those in teh 16-18 bracket. >>;; I don't really know anyone my age range. Kinda sucks that way.

I wish I could go back to being 18 again... ;_;

I'll stop talking about FFXI on this journal, since noone seems to care about it that much.

I've been unusually more depressed than regularly the last couple days. Things are just spiralling downward, and I don't know what to do anymore.........


So now, a song.... That speaks volumes as to how I feel right now...

1300 from 30 with THF. Could of got it, but we were having WHM issues in our party... He kept DC'ing left and right.. >>;;;

Was supposed to level with Jess's BRD, but that didn't happen... She got on, and her LS wanted to take her and her mom on a ZM4 run... =/ Second day in a row we were supposed to do level, but her LS pulls her for something. And it's double suck cause I've been trying to do ZM4 for quite a while, and yeah... And trying to get her to do ZM4 with me, but her never wanting to........despite the fact she already had the latern. I couldn't even get her to farm the key and latern with me. =/ And naturally, I couldn't go with them. I mean come on.... Duh. -_-;;; And then she says "I knew this would happen". Well wtf do you expect?? I've been trying to get her to do this stuff with me for ages, but it's always an excuse. "Oh, we're too low, we'll get pwned, i have to eat dinner, blah blah blah." Then they guys ask, and she jumps on.... And she (supposedly) didn't even want to go, but did anyhow. Gotta love it. Then she logged when they finished, and I guess her mom stayed for ZM5.

Hurray for getting further and further behind!!!

And Scrangie did a 7-1 run, and didn't invite me. ;_;

I'm used to not being invited to stuff IRL, but now it's happening a little too often for my liking in-game. =(

Maybe I should just stop talking to Jess... Like......for good.... I mean, it would suck losing the only friend I have left in the game..........but.... (and i really hate to use this analogy....) She's starting to make the feel the same way Slutface did.... >>;;;;;



Non FFXI News:
~ Going to Harry Potter tonight with mom and sis.
~ Rent comes out next week, but I know noone that would want to see that with me. So I guess I'll go alone... Sigh...
~ New SoaD comes out next week.
~ Bought Ultramix 3 and Smackdown vs Raw 2006 yesterday. I'm gonna hold off on DQ8 for a while. SvR06 is alright.... Still trying to feel my way thru it. UM3 is cool. But I hate how I had to turn the timing to +2 just to AA Sakura, which I can almost AAA on controller... And even then, other songs are just completely off synch with that setting. Way to drop the ball guys...

And that's it. Gonna level THF til I leave for the movie. Hopefully I'll be at at least 31, but 32 would be even better. If I hit 31, then I'm gonna try to LFP tomorrow with DRG, since I'm off and all. Then play some of the various games I now own while waiting. Beats just sitting there staring at the monitor waiting.

Wow... This LS is really helping Jessica out a lot... >>;;; The other night, she got testimonials for both BLM and PLD... ;_; Yeah, I really can't wait til they let me join now.. Heh..

THF's up to 28. Jess is gonna bring her BRD out and level that with me for a bit. We were gonna start that last night.... But between her logging in and her LS saying "Hey, you're coming with us for Promvy runs", and all the tornadoes and severe weather in her area last night... Yeah.... So I just went out on my own.

2300 from 29. Probably gonna try to get 29 today, then a massive overhaul of equip at 30. Can't wait for that one. b^_^ Then another couple levels, and it's time to try DRG again. ^^;;;

I think I have Jess and LW in on the static. Still trying to work over Devmani. =P And having Andrew would be nice, but yeah..... Stupid work... >>;;

Seriously tho Randall... 75 in 2 weeks? You nuts or something?!? I don't think it's possible to get 20 levels in 2 weeks. Maybe 10... Maybe we can all get to 65 in 2 weeks... Or maybe 70. But not 75. Heh. Even then, we'd only be able to static from like 3 til 8 or 9. 3 is when Mer gets home from school, and 8 or 9 is when I typically pass out. So even with 6 hours, let's just say 4k/hr. 24k a day. We'd be getting a level a day until 64/65. Then just a little under a level a day. And that's assuming no downtime in that 6 hour period, which we're almost guarenteed to have, what with the other 2 elements probably leaving and whatnot. (the thf and the refresher) So more like 15k/day. Factor over 14 days.... 210k exp. And even then, you said you had your sky raids, and other LS stuff. I have work, and the hell of working retail during Thanksgiving next week. Plus Thanksgiving itself, which Mer and LW probably won't be on at all. And also, Mer is still in school, in this uber honor's program, and has a TON of hw on a regular basis. So there'd be times where she'd be off doing that.

So maybe 65 by Dec 1st is more realistic.
75 by Jan 1st is too. But that would include some stopage around 68, cause I know Mer needs to farm the gil for the Black Cloak, and we all need to beat Maat, and get testimonials, and whatnot. And I need the Assault Jerkin.


Aside from that tho, I'm just keeping with THF for a little longer. Til I'm out of the Jungle at least. Then I'm gonna grab my DRG stuff again and try to get a party. Try to do that on a day off or something.... Maybe Tuesday. I should have THF there by then. Then if it doesn't work on Tuesday, I'll try on Saturday. If that don't work, then I'll just wait for LW and Dev to get to 62, and go from there. Kinda sad that if I start leveling DRG, I won't have subs that are fully leveled... Heh.. ^^;; Or, I could get DRG to 69, but then I gotta get those 3 levels with WAR. And if I stop THF at 32/33, then I gotta get back to leveling it at 65. And WHM is already underleveled at 30. LOL. But yeah.


So in non-FFXI news....

Nothing to report. =P
