<br />
It has served me well this first year. <3 Here's to many more!<br />
<br />
Still on hiatus from GE. Nothing looks interesting enough to come back.Almontrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13631058818849551706noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362683512434674406.post-90577673989134434252013-05-03T23:41:00.000-05:002013-05-03T23:41:11.961-05:00Painted WorldWelp, not much to report from April. I ended up getting Sorang, while leveling Selene(Brunie), along with Teoxihl(Natalie), Clint(Jack), Lorch and Belletrice(Adelina). Wanted Shot is maxed, refreshing to have an expert stance that doesn't take FOREVARZ to level. Destroyer is still sitting at 21.<br />
<br />
Kind of waiting around to see if there's a new playtime event for this month, occasionally getting on to check the market. Still can't determine names for a buncha characters, but I also need more barrack slots.<br />
<br />
On the non-granado front, my Vella is now 56, steadily making progress on her. I'm horribly lacking in reading stuff for fun...got to get back to Homestuck(a reread) and Silentium.<br />
<br />
I think I'll have to try follow Ferra's random naming conventions for posts, I just can't think of anything right now.<br />
<br />

<br />
Completed Selva and Jack's bristia-related quests, although I need Jack's dumb...stone pit riot thing done. Not to mention I haven't started Raven and Gavin's, and Bernelli's I'm stuck on. HISS GRR BAHUMBUG. I just want to recruit people and roflstomp the mainquestline why this.<br />
<br />
I did finally get Barrel! He is one of my favorite characters ever. ;v; I named him Vollstagg, after the fat jolly Warriors Three fellow from the Marvel Thor universe. Originally I was going to name him JiveTurkey but decided on something more serious...<br />
<br />
I try and keep up with some Kielce dailies but I'm slacking, specially on the Night parts or pirate clobbering...it's tedious for someone undergeared like me.<br />
<br />
And the occasional rhapsody with Irv.<br />

My group chat is actually a fun place to hang out. We have some ridiculous conversations ranging from critiquing characters to asian food to book series to anatomy/biology(recently thanks to the returned Idemair and the fact she's in pre-med)<br />
<br />
Some highlights that need to be shared with the world:<br />

I've also started playing Vindictus again since I'm getting sick of GE. :3 Sigh, that game is actually fun...it can be repetitive, but you do actually *play* not just hit a few buttons. :l The crossgun is rather insane, and I got drafted for a Keaghan run on my evie..I haven't played in months, but I somehow only died once and stuff. Yey me.<br />
<br />
That wraps it up for now.<br />

hey looooook after.....five...years or something this happened. lul.<br />
<br />
I'm tremendously sporadic with them ramblings, but oh well. I'm pretty much over my sickness but my ears still feel clogged...we recently had a taste of the low pressure blizzard that was dumping on Kansas, and its a funny thing to see so much snow piled up in March.<br />
<br />
Oh god, March. Four birthdays this month, compared to the barren Jan and Feb for me. And then it'll happen again in July. Even funnier is the pattern. The 5th, then the 11th, then the 21st, then the 29th, then my birthday on April 5th, and then another birthday on April 10th. <br />
<br />
But let's not think about July. At all.<br />
<br />
GE wise I'm just puttering along. I only have Ion and Tora left to recruit, and then Trickinesis/Frost/Furious/Abyss stances...still stuck in Castilla Relics.<br />
<br />
Everything's pretty boring, and I've been farming runes. Partly to help my friend make ~THE INSIGHT OF ANTARES~, partly to make my own const, partly for dignites since i have to recoup losses from the horrible horrible fleuet glacier quest. <br />
<br />
It's probably somehow a good thing the Bristia patch is coming soon, I guess I'll have something to do.<br />
<br />
<br />
Um. there you go, some useless spiel.<br />

Made quite a bit of progress on the patch, I think I only have Cruz the asshole and Ion the annoying left to recruit.<br />
<br />
Still haven't made Ludin, Daria or Vincent cause I don't know what to name 'em.<br />
<br />
Managed to avoid the bugged points and quickly got my Racel, so that's fun.(Although I am disappoint he doesn't appear like his original concept art...)<br />
<br />
My bonus MBP ran out as I got sick so I couldn't scrounge the last bit to get him to vet. q_q Still getting over that...worked on the Cath expert stance more today. And I'm miffed cause I missed a few days for Vero's diary thing. <br />
<br />
Probably the most annoying thing about being sick, aside from the cough, is that my ears are clogged and distort sound..most songs have a weird, echoy chime to them. =_=<br />
<br />
Guess that's all for nowww.Almontrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13631058818849551706noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362683512434674406.post-55389021930083963952013-01-20T01:47:00.001-06:002013-01-20T01:47:47.862-06:00Excuse Me While I ScreamAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH<br />
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH<br />
<br />
[more screaming]<br />
[and more]<br />
[some more]<br />
[almost-no more screaming]<br />
[SCREAMS]<br />
<br />
OKAY<br />
<br />
SO<br />
<br />
I REALLY WISH WE HAD KGE'S SYSTEM OF STAGGERING SMALLER AMMOUNTS OF CONTENT FASTER<br />
<br />
BECAUSE FUCKING HUGE PATCHES LIKE THIS HIT ME FOR A DOOZY.<br />
<br />
But it's been almost two weeks now.<br />
<br />
Ho-lee shiiiit.<br />
<br />
Guys. Guys.<br />
<br />
I HAVE VERONIF. SOB. I HAVE HER<br />
AND ELISA<br />
AND GRANDIES OH MAN GRANDIES. HER HAIR IS THE FUCKIN BEST. ELISA IS SO CUTE.<br />
<br />
I acquired Natalie first, then Daria, then Veronif, then Elisa, then Grandies. Fff, Grandies is actually pretty cool. <br />
<br />
I really need a greatsword. I couldn't do the Soul Guard fight with my +5 natachi lulz. It'd be nice if I could get another rosario and ele robe too... .-.<br />
<br />
With the advent of this patch + transfer some of my old friends have come back too, Ratridevi and Irving! wop wop. I shoved their gear back at them and some new stuff for Irv because he is a costume fiend. Lucky for him this patch. Not so lucky, his lack of feso.<br />
<br />
<br />
ALSO<br />
<br />
OH MY DEAR SWEET GOD, <i>TELEKINESIS AND UNLIMITED SHOTS KICK SO MUCH ASS THAT THERE IS NO ASS LEFT, ITS AN ASS HOLOCAUST. </i><br />
<br />
Selva's stance is upgraded! I can finally get Blitz Assault! eeeee<br />
<i> </i><br />
The things I have left to do are-<br />
Get Marie(y) -About three more basement runs.<br />
Get Ion - finish farming for Rose piece, attempt Saut/Abre raids.<br />
Get Beatrice - attempt Cortes(shitty luck, tried it like three times now and they all failed)<br />
Get Blitz Assault and start on Tora's quest<br />
Plus figure out what the hell I'mma do with my money.<br />
<br />
It was a real treat to see the side quests for NPCs too! Raven's was the weirdest/funniest I think. I enjoyed Selva's, which dug into the key elements of the story more. Sharif's was a total let down though. :(<br />
<br />
I recruited Vincent yesterday, before going out to a movie(Gangster Squad. my god it was so cool). He's not so bad, and I want to know more about Armonia. ;C Thanks to Lusse's eternal photoshop-fiddling, I've found he's fucking adorable with proper eyebrows.<br />
<br />
Today, I acquired Ludin. I cannot believe IMC accurately portrayed arguing, misunderstanding siblings. xD I did Hell Breaker with Irv and my god what nostalgia that was. She's quite a fiesty little brat, but she's grown on me since her reveal. Still, I expect Leo to keep her in line. >:l<br />
<br />
Her and Vince aren't created yet, since I'm unsure what to name them. Same goes for Daria(or should I say Lightning from FFXIII because really.)<br />
<br />
It was exciting exploring the Fe Lomme Gardens and Castle, and as my good friend Shenanigans said, its as if every villain worth their salt has a degree in Interior Design(In Montoro's case, he's also got Landscaping down)<br />
<br />
The Judgement Day scenario was interesting, but my excitement for it was small. I had already seen videos of it, and this game does not handle cutscenes very well(although recent patches have sort of improved it). I can't help but think of how amazing it would be if it were single player! <br />
<br />
Anyway, that's all for now. I'll make a post later with a bunch of screenshots! *w*<br />

<br />
The first hours of a new year, or a calendar's reset.<br />
<br />
I'm twitchy, but it's a good twitchy.<br />
<br />
Bring it on, 2013.

<br />
Das right.<br />
<br />
The famous, classic christmasy cookie.<br />
<br />
Except I'm a rebel and they are not men. Or even women, or aliens. They will be stars and snowmen(okay so maybe they are men? still, i have never seen a man that is made out of three large balls)<br />
<br />
Then on the weekend it is time to make a Nutella cheesecakeeeeeeee. Haven't had it since March.<br />
<br />
Granado-wise, I am bored out of my fucking mind. I might go to Secret Tower to see if I can kill General Guard for Oswaltz, but...otherwise there is nothing to do. I hope the word change lets me buy a few more things, though.<br />
<br />
Vindictus-wise, I have forgotten my security code..i'm not overly concerned at the moment, but it looks like if I can't remember, I'll have to try sending a ticket. 8luh. Nexon christmas event has received condemnation on their forums and tumblr alike. I'm disappointed the new santa outfits aren't tradeable, but otherwise I really don't much care.<br />
<br />
Here's some musical pickings from today.<br />

<br />
I finally ended up making a pixiv account, and I'm so happy I did. SO MUCH GE AND VINDICTUS AND GENERALLY AWESOME ART TO FIEND OVER.<br />
<br />
Got Meythea(Asoka) to 100 today! And now she's Expert, levelin' Sect of Moonlight. Woop woop. Helena joined her to level Augury since my recent const-boxing netted me FOUR MORE bloody Pisces.<br />
<br />
I will be so rich once Unlimited Shots come. I can smell it.<br />
<br />
I also purchased Jaspard's Rifling Revolver and an Iceberg Bangle from the Token Shop. Waiting on a word change to see if I can get anything else...here's hoping I can net another weapon; leaning towards a Dual Structure Dagger. If less, I might get ICP. :><br />
<br />
I might draw up a list later of all the things I got out of the event, but...probably should wait on that, it's not over yet. lol<br />
<br />
Also got around to making a christmas theme on my desktop, and have been sending out cards(largely to some GE friends). Who knows if this will be a tradition, I just liked the art on the cards. e_e<br />
<br />
That takes careathat.Almontrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13631058818849551706noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362683512434674406.post-23976574171363060932012-12-12T15:49:00.005-06:002012-12-12T15:51:49.607-06:00DecemberrrMy mom is making cookies as I write.<br />
<br />
We put up the tree a few days ago.<br />
<br />
YET THERE IS NO FUCKING SNOW.<br />
<br />
Climate change, I hateth thee with a fiery passion. If we get two winters in a row with no snow I am gonna have to smack a bitch.<br />
<br />
Anyway, yes, holiday season. Have a good one, readers, internet ghosts, and all!<br />
<br />
GE wise, the alphabet event is tapering off, although boxes are still apparently dropping, if very slowly for me. I've only gotten the Punisher manual and the Black Dragon pet from the token shop...still trying to make up my mind between Jaspard's Rifling Revolver, two Iceberg Bangles, and Asoka and ICP. D:<br />
<br />
Wish I would have known about it from the start. Oh, well.<br />
<br />
Currently, the weapon count for me is:<br />
<br />
Angel Camael's Crossbow x2(traded one for Angel Ramiel's Rapier)<br />
Angel Raziel's Revolver x1(enchanted with human)<br />
Angel Uriel's Bracelet(bought it off the market)<br />
<br />
Dragon's Magica Staff x3(jeebus)<br />
Dragon's Fury Shotgun x1 I did buy one with atk, but later another dropped which I traded forrr a Dragon's Fury Rifle.<br />
Dragon's Fury Pistol x1 (sitting unused in storage atm)<br />
Dragon's Eye Bracelet (also sitting unused)<br />
Dragon's Scales Sabre x2 (chipped with atk for Adelinaaa) <br />
<br />
I have to say, I wish the other angel/dragon weapons would drop. :( I kind of want to expert my Vincent, but there's no lute for him. I'm stuck with having to make an Elite Trump.<br />
<br />
Started off farming in El Ruina, and then Skele AA, with a few tries at Torsche FA. Finally wound up going to Fire Isle because wewt, chips. But...effing botters. They aggravate me to no end. And some of them, honestly, look like legit players just botting. You know, a non-jibberish name and unusual character combos and in a clan.<br />
<br />
I hope they are purged with the fires of the transfer.<br />
<br />
I also need to work on my sword christmas carol. Eeep.<br />
<br />
Okay, that's all folks. <br />

And so much has changed...like my skill level, and the family itself, compared to that last post from years ago.<br />

<br />
I...I don't think much will come of this. I could never bring myself to really write a full blown <i>story</i>, and most of it followed canonical stuff when it came to UPCs and chasing Montoro and stuff. It's really just their personal stories...<br />
<br />
BUT WHO KNOWS MY BRAIN LIKES TO BE HORRIBLE AND MAKE ME TAKE ON NINE MILLION PROJECTS AT ONCE SO SOMETHING MIGHT ACTUALLY COME OF THIS WHIM.<br />
<br />
i have a fucking story from the last 'whim' i followed.<br />
yeah i see what you did brain.<br />

Leo, you loveable purplecoat you. He's so fast with mystics and it's only level ten. *squeeee*<br />
<br />
(He should get a teambuff with Ed and Grace. People Who Aren't Old But Have White Hair Anyway)<br />
<br />
Got 3 diamond tokens now, so I guess it's time to collect again for a weapon.Almontrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13631058818849551706noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362683512434674406.post-47139270605640813652012-11-03T14:33:00.001-05:002012-11-03T14:33:22.872-05:00DUN DUN DAH, Server TransferFigured I'd throw my thoughts on blogger, derpaderp.<br />
<br />
Let me say, I don't have a vendetta against G1 like some players seem to have. And I was here for the Dark Ages of 2.9a and b. I think I'll miss them. They've had some enjoyable characters over the years.<br />
<br />
I might even lurk on their forums a bit, haha.<br />
<br />
So then, T3Fun. I'm anxious for more information to become available, and want all kinds of questions answered that won't be until a few months from now. I've gone through a few account transfers in my day, so this isn't something totally new.<br />
<br />
I'm VERY happy things will be transferring. If my family were to be wiped I don't know if I could bring myself to play the game all over again.<br />
<br />
It'll be AHMAZING to play with everybody. I fully welcome the impending chaos from top clans sparring and the whining and pking that will result. Not so keen on the likely baron server it will be, and how bad space will be for farming/afk leveling, but I guess I gotta wait and see.<br />
<br />
Moving on, I'm five tokens away from Punisher. Despite my doom and gloom attitude last entry, turns out I was wrong and I will get something out of this event, haha. I also mastered Frequency, Cadenza...experted Max, Kal, and my robo-caths. I'll probably card up Raven and Grace to master, and some other people to expert.<br />
<br />
Promo scrolls are another horrifying thing all together though. I wish they were in the feso shop lulz.Almontrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13631058818849551706noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362683512434674406.post-69983126264449725782012-10-17T23:10:00.000-05:002012-10-17T23:10:21.691-05:00Ahoy thar!<br />
<br />
So, Vindictus-wise I burned myself out on it, leveling up my Kai. Someday I'll catch them up on the storyline, sigh.<br />
<br />
I usually kept up on GE news since I'm subscribed to a few people-in-the-know, and prowl the forums. However, I forgot about the forums for some of September and October, and thus I was late on the Alphabet/Veronif events.<br />
<br />
Let's just say I'm kind of sad about that, considering I don't think I'll be able to get anything I want from the token shop.(Like Asoka, Punisher or the weapons. I could get the dragon pet for instance, but I've never really cared about him) G1 needs to fix things, but that's all been said on the forums already. <br />
<br />
Um.<br />
<br />
I've gotten a few vet/expert levels from afk farming, and I'll probably Master my Lisa with the cards(she's exp7 anyway). Then Cath Torsche, then I don't know. There are a few candidates. Also debating cashing some earth stones and buying more vet scrolls.<br />
<br />
Due to the event I got Grace a high-atk Dragon Fury Shotgun, so that was nice, even if it's not the best. Also did circus tonight with Bellza and her friend. Due to Vero and Cruz handing out princ pots like its air molecules, I decided to utilize them there.<br />
<br />
CALY.<br />
MY BEAUTIFUL HOODED ASSASSIN OF PEWPEWING DOOM.<br />
<br />
Of course, the drops were mere chips and roughs. Gosh, the economy has really tanked. It's hard to sell anything but chips/boosters/rings once in awhile. :( It really hurts since I want to take advantage of cheaper Angel/Dragon weapons but can't make much more than 8m or so a night in my current afk area.<br />
<br />
I'm also curious about the possibility of a halloween event. I don't mind if we don't have one, but I'd be quite happy if we had last year's. Flood of expert rings? Yes plz.<br />
<br />
--And a shoutout to Ferra, congrats on all your token shop items! Boy. It's a wonder the old man is still there, you're cleaning him out. haha.Almontrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13631058818849551706noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362683512434674406.post-72935390605360957102012-08-13T23:59:00.003-05:002012-08-13T23:59:57.051-05:00hallo hello hilloGreetings, internet ghost, few followers and passer-bys.<br />
<br />
I have really disconnected from Sword. Haven't gotten on in over a month. It barely registers in my mind these days, though I still lurk the forums. Perhaps when the Mythical Update(ala Morrighan or Jesus returning) arrives, I will play again.<br />
Yeah, I could grind, collect items. I've ground a bunch. I've collected some stuff. If I pay the price with more icky farming later or doling out money, so be it. I don't really care any more.<br />
<br />
Vindictus serves as my main game these days, but I'm not really hardcoring it up. I have sadly lost interest in leveling my Kai for now. Someday, he'll catch up. Someday. ;_;<br />
<br />
I am released from school.<br />
<br />
It feels weird. But awesome.<br />
<br />
I would almost consider dancing around in September just to mock the kids going back. Alas, this town is not even worth my derpy humor and light hearted mockery.<br />
<br />
During June and May my writing teetered dangerously low, but I am slowly picking it up here and there. I have some more characters in the works, the poor souls. They don't know what they're in for.<br />
<br />
My plans are loosely these: learn to drive at some point and snag a license. Write more. Draw more. Figure out a fucking schedule and actually stick to it because structure seems to help me. Bake more. Because baking is wonderful. Bake things in secret, too. Tricky, but might be do-able. I'm spieling out nonsense now.<br />
<br />
Time to call it quits. Almontrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13631058818849551706noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362683512434674406.post-40907641015233658752012-07-17T22:59:00.002-05:002012-07-17T22:59:49.023-05:00DateyUpSup guys, how's sword treating you?<br />
<br />
Well it makes about a month now that MSN has broke for me. Still unsure what to do, if I will download the original client or what.<br />
<br />
The long awaited archer, Kai, is coming to Vindictus in a matter of hours. Been looking forward to him, because I miss long range. Evie is the only other character there that has range, and it is pitiful. Think musks with pistols, but a little less.<br />
<br />
Using Flintlock spoiled me, I think.<br />
<br />

<br />
Mostly stuck to tumblr for my ramblings and stuff. Figured I might as well post here again. May was an interesting month in that I panicked a lot about the future. :D That and I read a bunch of Amber, I'm slowly tiptoeing through the last book.<br />
<br />
June ushers in a new era for me, Skreta, and the Almontri family.<br />
<br />
Why?<br />
<br />
BECAUSE I AM TYPING THIS ON EPSILON.<br />
<br />
MY NEW COMPUTER.<br />
<br />
awwwyeeeaaa. With buckets of help from my brother, for selecting some good hardware, and then him helping me put it together yesterday, its been a bit crazy and stressful of an ordeal. But it will pay off, I can feel it.<br />
<br />
Epsilon is by no means an amazing computer, but it is to me. I would say its a pretty good computer, in comparison to what the latest available things are. For instance, the CPU is a mere dual core. I've used an old one for so long, and the bones of it were even older. Oscar was a composite of random pieces patched in over the years to cover for failures, and something of a study in old tech, and a reminder in how fast the computer industry changes. <br />
<br />
It was amazing to see a modern BIOS menu, I'll tell you that. Eventually I'll upload some pictures I took of the various boxes, the putting-together, and the final result. But for now, I still have some issues to sort out-installing, remembering some old passwords, things like that.<br />
<br />
Despite all my angst, worries and annoyances I had against Oscar, it was a nice, loyal machine in the end. I'll always remember it, the first computer I had. The computer I grew up with.<br />
<br />
Epsilon will be the second computer I have, one that is truly mine. One that will fare with me through the strange territory known as adulthood.<br />
<br />
Vindictus is installed. Pangya is patching. Sword is the last thing I will download, seeing as its nightmarishly long.<br />
<br />
Alright, my few blog followers, Internet ghosts and wanderers, that's all for this post.<br />
<br />
And for the record--yes, I did just get all sentimental and make allusions of life to two computers. Because I can. Because I'm a writer. Because they have fueled my greatness, however small it is. <br />

<br />
Fair bit has happened and not happened since March. Had my birthday, been increasingly annoyed about the future, stopped leveling my alt after I got Catherine and Viki. Dexy Nykra is now at vet on my main. :3 The game is a wee bit boring to me now, but I'll still pop on to stalk the market.<br />
<br />
Last time this happened, I went on a hiatus and the very week I came back we patched. So...I smell a patch on the horizon.<br />
<br />
UNLIMITED SHOTS, I MUST HAVE YOU.<br />
<br />
That wraps up the rambles for now, I guess! oh, I also have a tumblr now.<br />
<br />

<br />
It's been a wild ride up the ladder, and an equally wild ride down Nostalgia Lane.<br />
My thoughts so far, are these:<br />
<br />
1: HOLY FUCK BALLS IT'S SO EASY<br />
<br />
No really. Pio gear takes such a load off things it ain't funny. I also like the brief storytelling they have when you first log in. Nice touch, nicely put together. All the free CS items and mechanics they introduce you to as well, is nifty. I do have a gripe with the wings activating. Like, it's fucking wasteful since you can't pause shit.<br />
<br />
2: Vis is still kind of annoying to make<br />
<br />
Especially when shinies tank. Good thing I just threw 10m over to my alt. <br />
<br />
3: I can't tell if there are more new players<br />
<br />
or if they're alts too, or what. But...don't care entirely.<br />
<br />
Andre reminded me of his fantazzzzic purple text and dialog, and Nunez with his bad cooking. How does he get away with that shit? I mean there's Panfilo and Lisa....they need to have an intervention. I feel crazy for forgetting about that. Currently, I'm settling into Auch. That means running around doing errands for Gertmeister, silly Lorch(stupid. kids.), Simon, Eleanore, 'n stuff. Questwise, Eleanore wants me to get rid of more Lightning Gavi di Gavis(OH GEE DIDNT I JUST FUCKIN DO THAT FOR THE TROUBLED MERCHLADY?), Torsche wants Cathyparts, and Ulrich wants me to hunt a buncha shit all over the place for stupid Ararat.<br />
<br />
I still hate Viki's quest.<br />
<br />
I've had fun breezing through things, since Ferra so kindly vesped me(yes I mentioned this but, I can mention it again if I want). Still, it's a hard hit to go from Master and all that entails, to below vet. WHERE IS MY DAMAGE UGH.<br />
<br />
On an entirely different note, I've had fun trying to figure out how this family would tie in with the house of Almontri. Of course, I'm never actually writing this stuff down, but its just something for my mind to chew on and humor with. or, TLDR: Lusse is lucky I managed to write that Viron stuff. :I<br />
<br />
All that said, this log is done. Dunno when the next will beeee.Almontrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13631058818849551706noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1362683512434674406.post-27462007691994537962012-03-27T00:31:00.001-05:002012-03-27T00:33:24.053-05:00I Finally Gave In<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Oh. What's that?<br />
<br />
It looks like a newb team blasting stuff. An <i>awesome</i> newb team with a chick and a santahatted scout. B)<br />
Also, STARFISH ON THE ELE DRESS. THEY'RE EVERYWHERE.<br />
<br />
So yes I actually made an alt.<br />
Clark ze fighter, Phaedra the ele, Yuxoe the scout. Ferra vesped me up into the 60s and now I'm catching up on quests HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL, shit is so easy. All the wings and crap they're throwing at me, yeesh. I was also mistaken by someone for being Ritenberns.<br />
<br />
....I don't know if that's a compliment or horrifying. It was because of the name similarities but come on people. Wry u so dumb.<br />
<br />
So yeah. But I'ma take a break from alt leveling because it's exhausting and sort of boring, just a different type of boring since I haven't done the stuff in years. (I plum forgot about Tetra, for instance LOL)<br />
<br />

GREAT PLAN RIGHT GUYS?<br />
<br />

<br />
I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE PEOPLE TO ONE-HUNDRED. AGH.<br />
<br />
Also I finally promoted Calyx, who has been patiently sitting and teaching Alya chess for a month or two, herpderp. Soyes, fresh expartiness and all that.<br />
<br />
I could level a plethora of vets, or grind experts. Or card farm, herpaderp. I do need to master Frequency but um, since my computer is having mysterious problems I'm wary of starting timed items on GE/leaving it on overnight/etc. Awesome, Oscar. Just awesome.<br />
<br />
Getting vet promos for Lorch and Jonathan(CoimbraTroooooperrrr) would...be nice but the bastards on the Orpesian market think they can be all expensivepants. Bleeeeh.<br />
<br />
Suffice to say, I WISH I COULD JUST PLAY MY PRECIOUS MASS EFFECT AND NOT WORRY ABOUT ANY OTHER SHIT.<br />
<br />
That sums it up, along with the fact I had an epiphany while riding in the back of my brother's Subaru yesterday. It wasn't so much an epiphany as an obvious realization, kind of like "oh, yes the sky <i>IS</i> blue, fancy that."<br />
<br />
Expect updates to the SPRAS thread too.Almontrihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13631058818849551706noreply@blogger.com2
