Ok, so this online mode thing sucks.... -_-;;;

I'm having problems connecting to people for head-to-head mode... Such as......I haven't been able to since Saturday afternoon.... I can do the IR courses just fine, but I just can't connect to people. Sigh... Oh well.

I think I'll take a break from EX2 today... I actually feel like playing IIDX if you can believe it.. (tho it'd be funner if i had 8th and 9th styles. >>;;;) I've been listening to this Vincent DeMoor CD will burned for me ages ago... Dunno why I just popped it in all of a sudden, but yeah. Guess I wanted some good chill trance to listen to, and there ya go. But listening to it makes me wanna play IIDX. Heh.

And makes me wish some VDM stuff was in DDR... But oh well.


I just realized the tickets for WrestleMania go on sale next Saturday..... Good thing I have a decent supply of cash right now... ^^;;;


And yeah... That's pretty much it for now. Nothing eventful is happening it seems. Hopefully that'll pick up in the next two weeks. I know I'll probably have a lot to talk about after Onicon... XD

DDR Extreme 2 junk,

So I've basically spent the last two days playing EX2. I have every song unlocked now. I'm 188/191 on Dance Master Mode... 3 missions I can't seem to unlock. (X-7, X-31, and X-36... If anyone's unlocked these, please clue me in as to what I'm doing wrong.. ^^;;;) Working on getting the points to unlock all the various modes and other junk. Haven't really done any of the hidden arrow stuff....that's last on my list. Not really a priority for me.

But Online Mode.... Wow, totally awesome! =D Well... Kinda...

First off, it took me forever to get it to work properly. My one PS2 with the mod chip and all.....I just couldn't get it to load. If it wasn't connecting to my router as it should, it was letting me in but lagging out to the point where I couldn't play. So I decided to switch the Network Adapter and Linksys bridge thingie over to my other PS2, did the setup and whatnot, and it works like a CHARM now. No problems at all. =D

When I went to bed last night, I was in 4th place in one IR (1 stupid great), and 7th in the harder one. Plus, I started playing people Head To Head... I think I was like 49th overall when I stopped at midnight. Record of like 11-4-2. Yes, you can get a draw with people. One time, we both AAA'd something. The other, we both got 5 greats.

But yeah... That's where the fun of this game is... Online play.. ^_^ That's the entire reason I got the game to begin with. Not the 2 days going thru DMM trying to unlock stuff, but the playing people online and junk.

The only problem with online mode is you can't pick your song, and you can't talk to people. What you do is you say "Hey, I wanna play someone" by clicking on search for opponent, then you sit and wait for someone else to do the same. Then you play a random song with no mods. Kinda blah, but oh well.

Anywho, DDR EX2 kicks ass. =D

3 weeks til Oni. w00t

Well, my next step, now that works done and whatnot, is teh mall. Head up to GayStop to see if they got in EX2. Then start playing the shit out of it, working to unlock stuff.

Actually, when I was up at the mall the other day, I saw a nice little surprise...

From the looks of things, the place is getting a new arcade. Same spot as AC used to be at. Dunno who it is tho.

I was walking in the mall, and noticed a couple games on the back of a truck outside the entrance where the arcade used to be. Some gun game, and a couple changers. I thought "oh cool", but wasn't really optimistic. Then I went in the place, and noticed that the gate for the former arcade was opened, and they were taking the signs saying it was the adopt-a-pet center on weekends, and cleaning it out, and that there was a Fast and the Furious machine in there already. Then the dude brought in one of the coin changers on a dolly.

Then later, after bumming around with Jeremy for a bit, as I was leaving, I noticed everything that was on the truck was inside, including this neon sign that said REPLAY.

Obviously, this isn't gonna be a Namco owned thing, since Namco is dead and all... But hopefully it'll be someone that knows SOMETHING about good games and whatnot... Maybe get some GF/DM action going... Or IIDX or something. Get a GOOD arcade, like the ones in Texas. As big of a bemani following that Chicago has, we have shit for games up here. DDR and that's aboot it.


But I digress.


Ok, people in Chicago, tell me what's up with this....

I'm driving yesterday... Flipping thru radio stations... 94.7 is oldies now?!?!? Where the fuck did The Zone go?!? It was my only solice once Q101 went all shuffle, and started playing crap and all that. I mean seriously....I don't need to hear fuckin Mazy Star or whatever... Gimme fuel, gimme fire, gimme stuff for my desire!! No more Metallica at Noon. ;_;

I mean... I guess I can listen to The Loop, since they've been playing more modern day stuff... But still.

It's kinda ironic tho that most of the DJ's on The Zone quit Q101 to get away from the way they do business, only to have their new home shut down... Heh.

Oh if only they would bring back 92.7&5... I miss listening to dance/trance all the time. Now THAT was a kickass station.

Le sigh...


Off to the mall I go. =D

Basically, everything you see here these days is crossposted from my LJ.

Well except this... This is strictly MyO... XD

I've been going to sleep like hella early as of late... Yesterday, I zonked out around 8:30... Still dressed, still watching TV. My eyes just started closing, and I was gone. x.x;; I was woken up by my sister at like 11 to see if I was OK or something... Which I'm not, but whatever.

I've just been stressing myself out as of late... Don't know why, don't knot what about...

I'm not happy, that I know. And I don't know if I can be happy. But ultimately.....


Blah...

Hmmmm... Not really much to talk about today....

It's cool how the storm like totally missed Houston and junk... ^_^ I mean....sucks for Lake Charles and the rest of Louisana that got bitchsmacked again, but yeah...


So I took my leather trenchcoat to the dry cleaner Friday... XD I needed to get the pockets patched up, since they were ripping out. That's gonna run me 30 bucks. Then I needed it cleaned, which it's really needed it since like last year... That's a whopping 70 bucks, cause it's leather and all. So 100 bucks and 2 weeks later, my trench should be back in working order. ^_^; I meant to do this last year, but never got around to it. And as kinda cold as it's been the last couple days, this is idea time to get this done before I start wearing it all the time.. Heh.


I was playing on Ifrit Friday night. Was in a party with Jess out in the Dunes.... If it's possible, I think the people on Ifrit are dumber than they are on Fairy... X_x;;; Or at least the guys in our party were... We got like 2500 exp in like 2 1/2 hours. The party wasn't balanced at all.... 2 WHM's, BRD, me as MNK, THF that was voke pulling, and tank. No DD whatsoever, so stuff took forever to die. But then they wanted to move on to harder stuff.... After Jess died twice, I said fuck this and we left. (this was after the other WHM dc'd, and the leader picked up a SAM to replace. and the SAM had shit for acc)

But I seriously think we can just duo stuff, and get better exp than we've been getting in parties. x.x;;;;

Then yesterday, was in a party with Jess and Andrew on Fairy with my DRG. Not much better... 1800 exp in 2 1/2 hours. I guess it goes to show that level doesn't make a difference....I'm just destined to have crappy parties. =/


Yesterday really pissed me off tho... Makes me realize why I hate everybody.

Jess was trying to level her BST, and I was kinda PL'ing her. (by kinda, i mean i was drg/whm with as much mp+ stuff as i could afford... hehe) I guess her mom got invited to a Titan fight party. This in itself is odd, as her mom is just a 53WHM, and we're 62 and 63 and get rejected for partys because we're too low.... So how her mom got one to begin with is completely beyond me...

But anyhow, her mom manages to convince the party, since they were just 3 at that point, to let us join. So we leave Ordelle's Caves, and start hauling ass over to Sandy. We get to the outpost in W.Ron, and Jess says they already filled up, and not with us.... -_-;;; The assholes went on without us. You know we're coming, and we'll meet you there, and yet you still get other people....

Then to make matters worse, her mom stays in the group, despite them fucking her daughter and friend over.

Oh no....the icing on the cake was her wondering if we wanted to see her summon Titan..... That was the slap in the face I didn't feel like taking.


Can you see why I get so fed up and frustrated with this game these days Andrew? -_-;;; (and why i was in a bad/bitchy mood last night)

So last night didn't go to plan at all...

The plan was I was gonna try to get as many people as I knew that could handle it together, and try to take down the Sea Horror. The only 2 people I knew at 75 were asked, but neither of them showed. Michol, understandable, was busy prepping for Rita. Randall..... =P

So yeah.. The Sea Horror thing was a bust.

But I went and got Jess a Diamond Ring, cause she needs it when she gets BLM to 72. But she wouldn't accept it for one reason or another... Something about not wanting to accept handouts, and how she felt she would owe me something in return and whatnot...


So yeah.....that sucked.... =/

Then someone wanted to go to Gustav Tunnel to camp this NM. We get there, and like 5 minutes later, it pops, and someone else claims it cause I wasn't paying attention. =/ Then we just randomly kill gobs for the next hour and a half til I get tired of it, and go to bed.

Some anniversary. =/


Sigh....


I don't think I'm gonna get on the game for the next week or so. If it's not the lack of party invites, it's the feeling that I'm totally worthless as far as the game goes. Or if anything, I'll just level Cutey or something. But the game is bumming me out more than it's making me feel better.

Plus it's magical new game time of the year. WLK this week, EX2 next week. Plus all the stuff I've "obtained", like DDR Festival, NASCAR06, Madden06, World Championship Poker, and others. Poker especially, cause I'm noticing my skills slacking again... But that's maybe because I'm going against a computer, instead of actual people. And I know I'm not smarter than a computer... >>;; (tho you could argue some poker players are LIKE computers... heh)

Well today was fun...

Normally, I have Tuesdays and Thursdays off. Well, I didn't have today off... Had to go in to work for this upgrade to the scales in the bakery. Good times. So I went in at 9:30 and left around 12. Not much, 2 1/2 hours.

But the fun part of it.... It's 2 1/2 hour of overtime. b^_^

My pay check next week is gonna be so fuckin sweet... The usual 40 hours, 2 1/2 hours of OT, plus this retro thing that the company is doing for anyone that's been capped out for the last year or so....which I have... So I'm getting like an extra 300 bucks right there. So I'm pretty much looking at a 500 dollar paycheck this week. \m/^_^


I need to buy a wireless router for my room so I can connect my PS2 to the wireless network. Why you ask? Well one, I'm sick of dialup with the FFXI there. But mainly.... DDR Extreme 2.. ^^;;;

No, I'm not getting back in to DDR. But this game just looks too good to pass up.

Moreover, I just found a torrent for DDR Festival (JP), so I'm working on that one. (in fact, it should be done later today)


So all in all... Much We Love Katamari is to be played, alongside FFXI, and DDR. Times like this, I'm glad I have my PC, and 2 PS2's. ^^;;;

The rejections continue.....

Aside from girls hating me, which is nothing new really...

Yesterday, I went LFP both on my PS2 with Krisnwo, and on the PC with Cuteythief. With Kris, I was trying to level THF out in the Dunes. And Cutey, it's MNK in the Dunes. Now with Cutey, I can understand no invites... No subjob, crappy job, yeah. Only a party desperate for a 6th would invite me. So I was banking more on Kris getting a party...

Went LFP at about noon.

4pm rolls around, and I'm still LFP.... -_-;;;


Seriously... Do I had a bad rep in the game or something? Why is it no matter what job I level, I can't get any invites??

To test this theory, I've equipped BLM stuff. BLM's are in decent demand, for the most part. If I can't get an invite with BLM in Qufim, then I will admit defeat with Krisnwo, and be done with him.

It's enough I'm walking around without a LS equipped these days, since noone's on MoM except for Mikero, and I'm sick of hearing him talk about how awesome he thinks he is, and how people miss him when he's gone. I wish I could just strangle him thru the internet... But that's neither here nor there...



And I know hardly anyone is gonna read this, yet I type anyhow.

I feel like I'm losing friends here... The only person that's talked to me in the last week has been Kayoubi. And for that, I'm more grateful than she'll ever know. But I've been so bummed out the last couple days that I just don't feel like talking to her. Plus she has all this stuff going on, between homework, spending time with friends, etc.

As busy as she is, she always tries to call me, or IM me, or something. And for that, Thank you.

But other people... I just don't have anyone to talk to it seems. I feel Kaylyn is pissed at me over all the AC crap. There's Andrew, but he's always working. (and I need my WHM equip back ASAP so I can level it)

All I seem to be doing as of late is sit in my room thinking about all this, and it just makes me feel worse.


Oh... And a little note... That diet thing....big fucking waste of my time...

I spent a week, working out, actually caring about what I eat, and etc... And I fucking GAINED 5 pounds... Don't feed me bullshit about how muscle weights more than fat, because there's no way in hell I can gain 5 pounds of muscle in a week, and have my body feel worse than it did before I started the "diet".


I guess the only way I'll ever lose weight is liposuction or gastric... =/


Maybe if I was more physically attractive, I'd have more confidence and morale.....

Maybe then I wouldn't be laughed at when I ask a girl out on a date.... =(


On a happier note to close...

I bought a DS today. We had them on sale for 100 bucks today at work. Couldn't pass it up, seeing how I just won 100 bucks in the football pool at work.. ^^;;

So what are some good DS games. I haven't really been keeping up with it to tell the truth... Yeah...
