Al's Ramblings

I think I need a tumblr

2012-02-11T02:07:00.002-06:00

Because I want to post little useless things in here and ...yeah.

OH WELL.

I am super happy and also up late. AND I FELT LIKE SHARING THIS. :DDDDD

go be happy, whether that means artsing or drawing or writing or making dragon plushies or making retarded doodles or doing complicated math problems or baking or scrapbooking. just go be happy and do what you love, guys. ignore the dicks who say otherwise. happiness is key to more happiness for everyone everywhere! ~~unless you're a sadistic psychopath who enjoys murdering and stuff.~~

A Change Has Been Made

2012-02-09T22:08:00.000-06:00

HOLY SCHNAPPS, GUISE.

I REVAMPED MY BLOG.

ILU NEW BLOGGER TEMPLATES. <333

However, the quest begins for a new background header image thing! D: Because while I love that one i got from NASA ages ago, I don't have a high enough resolution to crop it the way I want. So...yeah. What will it be?! MORE SPACE STUFF? GE? MUFFINS?

Stay tuned, and feel free to suggest any.

Also debating whether to change the URL and my name, since...I only really go by Almontri now ingame. Lol. Although I could keep it and do funny incharacter posts sometimes just to confuse the fuck out of readers.

Nahhhhh. I'm too lazy to try and figure out what the fuck Al would write in a journal anyway.

To discuss REAL LIEFZ for a tad, I've been busy with FAFSA(more like FUUUUUUUUUUUFSA because of our dear Government. It is a model of incompetency.) and college stuff in general! I did visit the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design. HOLY FUCK THAT PLACE IS EPIC. I will possibly apply for their spring semester, since I really don't think I'll be able to cook up enough stuff by summer or whatever in time for the autumn semester.

I'm pretty O.K. with that since I want a fucking break. I mean I hate how everyone is like "GO TO COLLEGE BLARHBLAH" when I'm just getting done with something that has been eating my soul for almost as long as I've been alive.

On another note I have a new sketchbook since my other two are running out. And I have a PLANNER. For my writing and stuff. Whoopwhoop!

That is plenty of rambling from me for now.

SO APPARENTLY

2012-01-03T01:38:00.000-06:00

I am now writing a GE fanfic.
~~ithappenstotakeplaceinacertainportcitywithadouchebagcaptain~~

OH GOD WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO FEEL.

This is all Lusse's fault btw.

and yes I will randomly spam my blog with such useless updates because I have yet to revamp things into nonboringsville. so yes.

That is all.

HEY GUYS

2012-01-01T01:49:00.003-06:00

LIONEL.

VAL.

RAVEN.

GET.

By which I mean I have acquired them all. Also, hello 2012. Hopefully I can figure out a nice template and make my blog less BORING AS FUCK. q_q Lusse and Rit and Reich have inspired me. And also made me feel terrible for having a shitty blog. LAWL.

So yes, until then....

Crasiro, Calyx and Alya wish you a happy new year!

Updates of Asskicking Proportions

2011-09-19T16:11:00.004-05:00

Lei kicking some jumping fish face. 8D

So! Stuff has happened. Lei is steadily chugging along to Master, she's as of this moment about to hit Exp 7. I might go to CSA this weekend.

Some broad lulz.

So, I got some advice from Balbanies(yes, he's playing again) and decided to make an Elite La Luna.

Runnin' to craft it. Also, Floating Helicopter Bungie. Its currently at 3 Stun, 42 undead. Definitely rechipping but gah, chipping is not my friend at all. It's never been. But..speaking of crafting, I traded my White Bishop and made Zander a Whisper of the Forest. <3 But before hand, for lulz, I decided to see what the Dragon Heart looked like on the ground...

Later, I went through some spinelles with Sharif, Viki and Proxima.

Takion, ftw.

I also ventured to Castilla Mines with Balb the other day, we stopped before Argus. I'll need to go back there sometime to get Basilisk's heart...and he is cool. Seems FUCKING ORIGINAL for once. lol.

Abyssing a Locke of Chaos.
....and some Movingrock of Chaos for good measure.

Whee fancy aesthetics

Also yesterday I did Torsche's Basement raid...it is stupid and evil and I never want to go there again. It has heinous camera locking angles just like fucking circus....euuuuuuuuugehgehe. NEIN. But I did get Elemental Otite and so headed to Torsche's...I knew Jurgen would show up but like, wth why's he so beefed up. ._. Annoying. I'll have to take a crack at him with some other characters...Cath died even though she was expert, so, YAY, USELESS CHARACTER FILING UP MY SLOT AGAIN. Maybe Hapkido'll do some wonders. :I I think that wraps it up.

Hapkidoooo

2011-09-08T18:26:00.004-05:00

I has it.

Which means I experted Lei! 8D

Now I just..need proper gaiters/knuckles .__. bleh. Wish I could get some golden ones but I don't have enough money for that. Herpyderp. I need way too many 32 ARs.

And..I've been doing Bounty Hunter missions more then usual simply because its fun to skill-spam a boss and hey, free chips. *shrug* I might try soloing Bahamar sometime to see if I, well, can. So far I've only done it a few times with Balbanies. xD

And I dislike that there's no movies coming out until next month. And by this I mean movies I actually want to see. Oh and Khan Academy is full of fucking genius and win and awesome.

NOVEMBER, GET HERE FASTER. So many games to watch. Bullshit Time ends(DST). Thanksgiving. Closer to Christmas and thus Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Neee.

....fuck scratch that, my mom wants me to take the ACT in December, IT WON'T BE A MONTH OF WIN. e_e

Okay think that covers my stupid blathering.

Depressed/Stupid Ramblings, Proceed With Caution

2011-09-05T17:38:00.004-05:00

Oh blah, I think I'm depressed.

Since...school starts tomorrow. Its not so much the actual day, but...what it signifies. I'll start hating my house for more reasons again, more arguments and stress headaches, more tests.

I just need to take my songs to heart I guess. Stop being flipfloppy about college. Draw more, exercise more, write more, read more.

It might be the last year for me, but...it's still tough, because I know it'll just be similar to the last previous fourteen years or whatever I've already done.

Honestly I think I'd rather be in Seren's place right now...e_e ....and I just realized the lucky fucker didn't even go to high school. asdlakdwlkd

Take songs to heart.
Take songs to heart.
They're more powerful than you think.

Well, here's to hoping I can kick....some....goddamn....ASS. It will be hard. And I only have my motivation, which isn't very much at all.

Oh well. I guess this is another part of life I'm figuring out, another level of being alone. Time to fucking crush some stuff and smooth it out onto a staircase, which I'll STEP ON.

Siiiiiigh. Maybe now I'm just reflecting Seren.

Usual readers, feel free to ignore this shit, I need to vent or...whatever the fuck this is. It isn't really venting.

I'm just talking to myself using Oscar instead of my voice, really.

Another August Update

2011-08-21T13:52:00.002-05:00

Lots has happened since my last update! xD

I experted Frequency(Lisa), so that was fun. Maxed her Arnis, and got Grace Flintlock, maxed that as well. Leveled Gordon(Gert) and Deirdre(BSI) some too. I think I may need to go cardfarming again sometime soon. (That and I miss my masters. Q_Q)

Ancient Castilla can't come quick enough. I want to fricken level them! D:<

I also leveled Gavin(Garcia) and Belletrice(Adelina) to 100, and completed the first part of that Oswaltz quest. It was funny when Johnny asked me to go kill Walanche...and I get to the Deserted Quay's beach...and he's right. there. ._. loleasy. derp.

So now I'm leveling Arkantos(Nar) and Selene(Brunie) to 100. :P Then I have two more pairs to level: Irawain - 63, SumCath - 61, then Æmilia - 84, Jonathan(Trooper) - 81. Not looking forward to leveling Æmi. She's such a tard. Even with my upgraded, DR'd ERM she dies left and right.

She's just like Vincent. D:<

Gah.

Oh and Kharis looks like a boss in La Fleur Escarlate. But I hate how my money's disappearing with no findable income, lol...

Anyway that wraps it up.

Hello August!

2011-08-05T14:33:00.002-05:00

Hey hey hey~

Update time again.

Cadenza, Grace and Helena have maxed their stances, Death Chopping, Occultism and Superior Blaster. I need to level Grace a lot more to get SP for two of the skills, HERP DERP. Cath still needs a level to use her friggen personal skill. SP cost is retarded. Mages are the ones who need a butt-ton of sp. D:

Now, I've shifted my attention to leveling vets on my experting list. Reque and Atlacoya, but now I'm soloing Reque. :o Need to snag Selva's hat, continue slowly collecting runes, buy gold sometime and upgrade shiat, make more silver earrings, get all my lowbies to 100/vet. Get some fresh vets some levels and stances...yerp.

And I've been reading! Gotta get a bunch of fantastic novels in before crapsville starts again. And I even did some drawing the other night. /o/ Been writing too of course.

And I think that wraps things up. I vow to make this the most awesome August evar since I really really really doubt next August will be good.

Captain America & Catherine Torsche

2011-07-23T19:40:00.002-05:00

Those two are awesome. Did you know that? No? Well now you do.

So yesterday I went to see the Cap in action, with my parents. Enjoyable film, fun graphic design at the first part of the credits. :) Hugo Weavinggggg you continue to play so many roles gaaaahhh. Tommy Lee Jones is a certified badass. 8D And Howard Stark was great lol.

Todayyyy I got Catherine Torsche at last! I was talking tactics with my friend Nino, and as he's come from many an RTS game, he thinks quite interestingly. The setup-

Master Fighter - Peltast
+7 Atk/Human Serpent Javelin, 2 DR 92e shield.
+6 2 DR EMS.

Master Musketeer - Outrage
+6 Elite Iron Pistol 38/17/ele damage, socketed for more speed, +5 Elite Iron Pistol 30/1 AR/Darkness/Fear.
+6 3 DR EDC.

Veteran Catherine of Strength - High Guard
+6 19 DEF LN, 1 DR Pio Shield.

AM Boost, Event Triumph Fillers, Sys Pet (cat that buffs lv11 Forte/Insistiendo/Divine Blessing and heals for 1k HP) Enhanced Antidote, Magic Resistance Potion (gives lv5 AMS), Intensified Health Regen potions (5k hp regen for 15 seconds). And of course Light Flow and Concentration.

So, with the above stuff, my strategy wasss this. I quickly left the blade room, then headed left to the first stairwell. There I picked off mobs while Zink finished buffing me. Then I left Amaranth to hang near the stairs while Sullivan and Tech mowed down mobs. Piercing Bound + Dancing Revolvers is a very nice combo, especially if they're timed a few seconds apart. The first skill hits, thus giving the second skill a safe window to go off.

The mods on my pistols came in handy, I was often fear-locking or stun-locking things. Outrage SHREDS through their HP, and I didn't even have what you'd call 'Epic' pistols. Stunlock came from Piercing Bound.

Watch out for Wight and Pylig...Py...the fourlegged ambling thing of robots stuck together who's name starts with a P...watch out for their skills. They can take off a nice chunk of HP if you don't have epic armor, and have knockback.

It took awhile of just being careful and patient. I didn't need to mob too many things but my kill rate was still decent. I got Catherine to spawn at around 25 minutes on the clock. It then took me nine minutes to mow her down, finishing at 14:19. Of course, fighting her wasn't without setbacks.

She killed Tech (he died like three times total.....YOU AND YOUR SQUISHINESS. D8<), and I had to nearly SPAM my enhanced antidotes, yikes.

Nino's a genius and my own gear was good enough. Yaay.

So overall....I am very happy. Poor Torsche was so emo, he needed a hug there. Luckily I had the epic holy water and he refined it and then she remembered him~ I love the fact her poses fit her skeleton and everything. :>

Montoro called me a fucking rookie. In terms of pioneering and stuff, no, I'm a pro. Perhaps in terms of doing dastardly things, I am. I've yet to decimate a whole area or become immortal and wear nasty armor...lulz.

Surprisingly, he's kinda grown on me. I used to hate him with such a passion. But now that he wears an epic suit and keeps doing entirely douchebaggy things...I like him. LOL. He's a cool villain.

So, Cadenza is now on her way to Veteran. Grace and Viki are the best powerlevelerrrrs. <3

And Moar Updates

2011-07-16T20:44:00.002-05:00

...I need to fucking clean my keyboard.

and do algebra.

and look around for college related shit.

but I'm not cause I'm here with a blog post. I am a lazy fucker, I fully admit it. Granado goes okay lately. I decided to card Cagalli the last level to Master, and card Hel to expert. OCCULTISM I HATE YOU. I hate myself too that I decide to do this AFTER the event.

Uhh. So yeah...thinking about experting Ed next. Or Karj. Okay I still don't know. blergh. This post is loosing steam much quicker then usual.

I need to try Cath's or Val's quest sometime...siiighghg. Emi's is on hold cause I'm lazy to master Gordon(my Gert) atm.

Revelations is incoming, I am excite. Not as excite as I am for Assassin's Creed Revelations but. And I'm debating if I want to go see Captain America. I mean, I know I will eventually see it and enjoy it, but do I theater when it comes out, a week later, or wait for it to come out/go sailing. HMM. But I'm not into the movie sailing game really so eh.

Sorry for the rambliness, just how my mind's working today. Guess I'll head back tooo Topolo now to level Occultism and Lei and Gordon.

I think that wraps it up. merp.

A Very Strange & Almost Amusing Event

2011-07-11T21:20:00.002-05:00

So...I was chilling in Auch, blathering to a few people...occassionally broading, trying to sell some wigs.

And then boom, this guy happens. *warning, F-bomb ahead*
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14600792/Granadoscreens/capture_02184.jpg

...I was feeling shitty, but they cheered me up by how random and weird that was. I've never seen this name before in my whole Granado career, they insta-logged out after spamming....or I'm slow with a mouse? what? no. :l and I KNOW people can vouch for me that I'm not much of a big player in the server politics/drama. So...

Um, LOLWUT?

And if they think they've succeeded because I'm paying attention to them, well, uh. Okay. No, don't think so. I've given you attention by reporting your arse.

I just wish they'd come clean, get off their alt, tell me why they hate me, so we can be clear on something.

I mean...I'm actually amused to the concept of having a nemesis. Has a certain...flare to it.

So, I'm going to go off loling. Also, you entirely failed to make me butthurt, Alizee~~. Good job cheering me up though. *thumbs up*

*...wow I'm actually making a post about this stuff. Never thought I would, rofl.*

Early July Update

2011-07-05T23:44:00.002-05:00

Welp, a decent bit has happened since my June post! Don't you love my interesting, original titles.

Granado news, first, of course!

On Saturday, a very wonderful friend let me join his vesping excursion. Let me just say; VESPING IS MADNESS! Hoooollllyyyy crap. Epic stuff. Thanks to that, Tech and Kharis rocketed up to Master! <3 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14600792/Granadoscreens/capture_02058.jpg Some nice congrats from old friends and stuff. xD

Cagalli is set to be my next Master, she's currently at Expert 9, 91%. After that...I'll seriously need to expert someone. Or I'll just have toplevels and lowbies. @_@ oh god.

Thinking Mika, to try out Rapiere in its original glory. But first, I need to either: manage to chip my Elegant Rose, or buy one or two decent rapiers. Herpderp.

Then...Helena and Reque will probably get promoted...soon™. xD

I'm also slowly working towards the Tempest of Aquarius. I've got symbols and every now and then I buy some runes. I need to try and upgrade one of those Desert Storms I have in storage...
Curse you, crystals! *shakes fist*

Hurhur, at this rate I'll actually have the bayonet done by Tech's birthday, which is in December. >____>

*due to the RP, and such, I decided on one for him. yeah...*

Went to Circus yesterday with Kimiaru. That was a lot of fun. Peltast is awesome, I'm actually pro there. Years after it came out of course. Also Val's quest depressed me massively. I tried it since I had mastered Kharis and...first try: couldn't fully buff before getting murdered
second try: got off Principal, Strategy and Organization, ran around, got slaughtered.

Q____Q WRYYYYY. I dislike IMC catering to the endgame players. Sigh. I...dunno about trying Cath's quest again. I got some tips from Eoll but...I don't have clannies/armor her level really lol.

EXCEPT FOR MY FUCKING MAGES. ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGH.

Zander and Kharis love me, yes. But everyone else is like QQ.

Anyway we'll see about trying this weekend. Maybe borrowing Mart's delicious human dagger again and..yeahidunno. Enough silly ranting and QQ! Moving on.

To some nongranadostuff.

I hope everyone had a Happy Freedom Day/Blow Shit Up Day/Explosion Day/Independence Day. Lul.

As of late, whenever I get the slightest urge/idea to draw or write, I've went and submitted to it.
And awesomeness is the result. x3 Hooray. Finally learning to do that and listen to my muse better. Usually with poems and stuff I'm good, but other things, not quite.

And I uh. Finally used a coupon for a dollar off of two bags of Ghirardelli squares. I got a caramel and assorted bag, figuring I'd give my dad the dark chocolate ones. But guess what? There were only two. fucking. squares. I was mad. Should've just got a mint bag instead. /Pfft

Oh and that brings me to my other point: lately I've kinda got back to RO. Not playing, but looking at/for arts, cosplay, reading some fanfiction(GOOD fanfiction I might add). It's pretty fun. <3 Gah, I love that game, I'm quite happy it was my first and I made so many good memories with it.

I guess that wraps things up for now!

Crafter out~

Another Sporatic Update!

2011-06-20T00:19:00.002-05:00

Soo...I was readin' some other blogs and felt inspired. e.e

Granado, Granado, Granado. What am I gonna do with you? Even though you throw so many horrible things my way, I just can't leave you.

*grovels*

Anyway. Cagalli has now joined the true high-rankers of the family! She's my newest Expert, and first UPC to be experted~ She's leveling Shadow Sting with Tech and Kharis, while they grind to Master. The stance is 21 now, and I really love it! Animations, effects, and damage...everything! <3

I recently inherited some amazing gear, so now Kharis is quite outfitted in the armor department! Funny how my mages are the most well-geared...I got a +6 White Dagger, so prettiful +_+ Which Frequency(who thanks to an RP I like to refer to as Reque now) has been using to rend things in fifty pieces. :D And, a good shield, a 2DR Elite Aquila!

I've come to meet some amazing new friends, too! Them being Bellza and Ferragamo. How did I meet them? Caebolan. Secret. Citadel.

No kidding, we were in a squad. xD

Today specifically, I made some nice progress~ I finally did my first mission in Castilla, in the Mines, with Gambantein. We got to the Phob Chief, but the Imps bugged out and later swarmed us, instead of being there to begin with. :C But I completed part 1 of Episode 1, so...I'm happy! For now...

Vespanola may be a very evil country, but they know how to make fantastic uniforms! *was admiring Adriana's outfit* When, G1, when will we have those....orz

I also moved along in the quest for Rio's Prelude....but he's not expert, I have no intention of making him such, and so..yeah. But I talked to Ortega before he left. I lol'd at AngryRio and AngryLorch. Fritz was awesome, as usual, and...Ortega, I suppose if you're a billionaire taco maker and alchemist/shotgun person...you could sponsor Rio. o3o Also I realized Ortega has a beard. He is now more win to me.

STILL. KINDA RIDICULOUS.

So much delicious information in that talk! Gee! Vespanola's power is quickly crumbling, and Hernandez, Montoro and Stratavista are causing all kinds of havoc behind the scenes! I really must continue with these quests for the new ladies, Castilla, and others. The storyline is heating up, and I want more!

Meanwhile, the last...week, or so? I've been doing some good old partial script-RPing with Gambantein. Ahah, its been fun, and so addictive! I haven't done it in years. His Valleria, named Alouette, is positively wonderful. Makes me proud that I've used her as my blogger-pic for years, heheh. :D

Outside Granado, I did a self-portrait. I haven't done one in a decade, I'm sure. Hah. It was pretty fun to do.

I really hope they release some fantastic costumes this week in maintenance. Reallyreallyreally.
Preferably some musketeer, or more Serpent costumes...or Ed's Colonel, or Karj's! Ahhhhhhhh. So many costumes, and so little of them delivered. :'(

Anyway, I think that wraps it up. I should get to bed...

Crafter out!

I Had Spaghetti For Dinner

2011-05-17T23:12:00.004-05:00

Yo. So uh.

Had my last lecture in Meteorology today. I am a sadpanda because it's over. :( But daaaaaang, Fovell is awesomesauce. Someday I'll get money and go take a course he teaches bahaha.

Oh and figured I'd...drop this link here: http://cyanicaswriting.blogspot.com/

No clue as to updates for it, because blogger is a huge turn off with its craptastic HTML coding. And I'm not even doing advanced stuff! Criiiipes.

the title is indeed true. Alfredo sauce to top it off! :D yum yum.

Crafter out.

Dear Weather

2011-05-16T22:49:00.002-05:00

I hate you.

WHAT IS THIS? You scream in disbelief. How could I hate weather?! Aren't I taking meteorology?! Aren't I obsessed with storms?! Don't I have characters relating to storms?!

Why yes yes I do.

But that doesn't mean I resign the right to pull my complaint-card. And I'm pulling it out right now.

Stupidly strong winds over the weekend and into today have thwarted any efforts on me and my dad's part to get a nice walk in. And its COLD. FUCK YOU, COLD. GO BACK TO WINTER WHERE YOU BELONG AND FUCK OFF.

Perhaps I should rephrase things above. Dear Wisconsin Weather, I hate you.

And yet this is one of the safest places it seems, in regards to natural dangers. Right where I am. Sure a tornado might've taken the window off my future bedroom but eeeeeeh. Sure floodwaters might've come up to our driveway(we live near a creek..but its across the street and stuff, we're not idiots that live right near a big body of water like all those fools near the Fox River...>___>) but eeeeeeeeh. Still.

-No yearly fires like in CA!
-No horrible constant wetyuckness like in Seattle!
-No complete blizzards!
-No earthquakes!
-No hurricanes!
-No superhuge tornado threat!

And so, I am even further irked. Why? Because this place is kinda safe. DERP. BUT I HATE IT. D:<

Anyway.

Rant Over, Crafter Out.

May Flowers Indeed

2011-05-10T20:43:00.003-05:00

I'm back!

April and May-thus-far have been quite eventful. Let's recap!

Birthday- It went decently, got some nice gifts. On the 8th I did end up seeing Hanna, hell yes it was awesome.

About a week later, my dad had off-pump bypass surgery on his heart. Five in total, as one artery had two blockages. I knew he'd be fine, and I was right. Everyone's pleased with the care he got at the hospital, and he's doing just great.

The 14th, I hit Master. Got some nice congrats from Synthius, Misericordiia, and others! Ever since then though, I haven't been on much, I guess since I don't have many goals now.

After that, April sort of wound down, but I was about to step into the new month frazzled and anxious. Why?

The SAT.

The test itself is never a problem. Its things leading up to it that get me frustrated and upset. I ended up doing decently, even though I didn't know there was an essay section. It was the first. The question was SO NICE. It wasn't horrible and I actually was able to think of something and coherently put together a little piece I'm quite proud of.

But goddamn- How do highschoolers, or middleschoolers, OR ANY schoolers do it? Sit in those horrible plastic chair-desk-combination-things. I got up and stretched and walked around at breaks and shifted positions, and my legs still hurt. They ended up hurting from sitting in those for the rest of the day. I am appalled. Ergonomics, people! WHY DON'T YOU USE IT?

Afterwards, as I was determined to balance the general Fail-ness of the SAT with some Win, me and my brother went out-To see Thor and grab some Taco Bell afterward.

Thor...was grand. I have a bigger rant upon the movie in my DA journal, which you can find a link to.

Writing goes good, I recently looked back on some work...and I realized just how damn proud I am.

I think that wraps it up, until next time.

Yo ho ho and a Bottle of Rum

2011-04-03T22:44:00.003-05:00

Random titles are random.

Anywho, just reportin' a bit cause I'm bored but still feel glued to my chair and not quite tired enough to trek to my bedroom.

Grinding away in CSA at the moment to gleam some goodness from the last days of the Exp Event buff. Methinks maybe...three-to-four more visits and I'll have enough cards and exp from grinding to master my original team~

I'm gonna miss this team so damn much, in leveling. Why? They don't need goddamn reloading.

After that, Tech and Kharis take the stage (with Marceil again probably) to grind to master and collect cards for a new expert, who, once there, will join in stance leveling. Not sure who, but Mika (Karj) and Cagalli (Caly) are in consideration for their wonderful stances.

In other news, I'm interested in seeing Thor, Priest and Pirates of the Caribbean: At Stranger Tides come May. April-wise, Hanna. Which I may go see cause of my birthday, which is on Tuesday. Fuckin' tuesdays.....

Starting the painful, scary and stressfilled process that is looking for a place to teach you stuff and not be superdouchey. AKA, college. I really hope I'm right in this and that it turns out like tests....

Project Gamma is going along nice, but slow. I don't mind, not in a rush. UV is goin' good too, and I think I've come up with some tasty stuff for origins in my mythos.

Well that about wraps it up, I'm feelin' sleepy enough to kerpoof.

Crafter signing off

Hey look its two months later

2011-03-15T23:46:00.002-05:00

So here I am, its nearing midnight, and I'm listening to K-pop.
(specifically, this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dww9UjJ4Dt8&feature=relmfu )

On a Tuesday.

wat.

Anyway, stuff to report:

HOLY FUCK YES I HAVE MADE PROGRESS.

Zander is now the proud wearer of a +7 Le Noir 2S with 2 DR. I added spodumene and obsidian to the sockets.

I also finally have Enhanced Tactics, thanks to dear Irv <3

I decided to get Tronada Cruz, too. Its fun so far, only five more levels till I max it. Equipment wise, I wish I could get an Elite La Muerte. :C And a decent blunt/shield...since I have Crusader to level next. And my white bishop refuses to chip, still.

Hanging Guard and Arnis are epic, too, btw.

QUESTWISE.

Novia, Jorgen and Ortega had to kiss my boots awwwyeaaah.

That sounded better in my head.

But yes, I finally conquered the ice bitch, I mean witch, and Lorch's unfortunate family. Muuuchhh thanks to Lusse, Shride and Martinellus for lending me their epic gear to get those done.

I admit, I had to pop on my sage necklaces from a promotion from forever ago...but it was worth it!

I only wish that I could've beat Catherine Torsche's instance mission today, with the few hours left on them. But no. The servers decided to go have a tea-party and told us to gtfo. Q_Q

Kharis, Marceil and Tech pwned Novia. Two Electric Blusters fueled by a +5 El Sol and +5 Vet Pio Lightning Bracelet....murdered the minibosses. Montoro is LAUGHABLE AS ALWAYS.

Seriously what gives. He's supposed to be this huge menace and powerful and all....yet in every instance he ever appears in he's always a fucking weakling. xD

I wanted to continue killing Novia LOL.

Later, I dropped Kharis for Sullivan and we went to the Holy Water Chamber~~ This time, I was prepared. D:< It took me one run to get the gist of things, and the second time, I succeeded, to my great relief. I'm really seeing the value of racial mods, now. Lawl.

Next on the agenda: Complete Catherine's fight
Rack up money to buy an expert Gertrude and do the hapkido quest, then Reckless Emi.

-~-
So that pretty much covers GE stuff. E.S. Posthumus' third album, Makara, IS SO AWESOMEEEEEE. Go YouTube it. Omfg. I love itt.

Its inspired and given the writer in me a wake-up call. (is reminded of the Vindi mission, QQs)
Let's just say I have a little something in the works, for now it'll be called Project Gamma.

Such an awesome name, huh?

that was sarcasm. its not thaaaat awesome. and has probably been used nine thousand times before.

Vindictussss....I'm slowly grinding to 52. q_q I want Shining Will blargh.

My god I hate linking stuff with blogspot.
If you want more, check that out. It's pretty cool stuff, running on Source.

Aaaand Three-ish Months Later...

2011-01-24T12:13:00.003-06:00

LOOK ITS A NEW POST.

Amazing.

I wandered over to Ritnberns' blog and felt inspired.

So, let's seeee where I left off. The PSAT went well, I got my scores in December, they panned out as expected. That is, good in writing/critical analysis and not that good in math. Ah well.

I'll probably be doing the SAT in a few months, oh god. ~___~

Anyway, the months have been their usual ups and downs. December was generally full of win, except for the beginning, because I got sick following Thanksgiving, and that stuck around into the new month. >:C

I saw True Grit and Tron Legacy, hellyeah Jeff Bridgeeess. And Olivia Wilde and Garrett Hedlund. xD Christmas was nice. I got two pairs of PJs, both of which are fabulous, and some new books.

Some might be like ohmygodhowlaaaaame but eh, I wanted the books and needed the PJs, so I am content.

I'm still pretty much on hiatus from GE, at this point. Vindictus just feels more absorbing. I still read the G1 forums every day, though, so I'm not out of ze loop. And Ash's blog. Heh.

I made some resolutions for the new year:
Draw moar
Write moar
Exercise moar (and generally be healthy moar)

So far I've kept with teh first two pretty damn good. The third is a work in progress...orz

I'm thinking about trying to redesign the blog's layout. Hm. We'll see if I learn anything of webdesign in the coming weeks. Hah.

Farewell, Internet-Ghosts who read my blog. Until the next post.

Holy Blog Updates Batman!

2010-10-09T17:43:00.002-05:00

I love that cheesy slogan of Robin's.

Greetings, yet again. It is time for an update! Because I am bored as fuck, at the moment.

Balance: This coming Wednesday (I prefer to say Woden's Day, honestly) the 13th, I have my PSAT. Should be fine. I'm not stressed at all. o_o But I still hate taking tests. But also on that day, Vindictus should return for Open Beta. THE UNIVERSE HAS BALANCED WIN WITH FAIL. GASP.

Granado: I've been making good progress. Family level is 29, and I'm chugging towards 30, at last, at last! Currently, I'm leveling Deirdre (BSI), Amaranth (STR Cath) and Lei-May (Soso) in Topolo. My quest to max all of Amaranth's stances is going well, I have maxed all of her melee stances and now I'm working on the gun ones.

As I do that, I've been starting TAs, collecting loot like a hoarding fiend, and trading around like crazy in an attempt to make vis. It's not been in vain, and I have garnered enough to craft my White Bishop now. I'm just collecting more so I have some cash to fall back on afterwords.

I recently finally got my hands on more Jewel Powder, and crafted my Rosario. It stands with 5 Lightning Res, 5 Fire Res, and 12 SP. It's acceptable enough until I decide I need to chip it for DR/moar SP. And besides, I still don't have a Scorpio. :v

Soon, I will be getting back to leveling my Experts. My aim is to get the original three - Marceil, Zander and Sullivan - to Master in a reasonable amount of time. It shouldn't be too tough, I've got plenty of passes and manuals from promotions as of late. But before that, I'm going to try to finish leveling Flintlock and Darkness. Once those are done, I'll go level the team and collect cards, both for their own exp gain and Kharis.

All in all, it will be good to get back to the powerhouses of the family.

In other respects, OMFG I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THE 6.0 TRAILER. The sonnnnggggssss. The mysterious redheadddd. The teaser thing at the end. And it has solidified my liking of Raven. He's a certified grade-A Badass. I love the concept art shown for the Devil Armor and Weapons. Simply love. However, I despise the Scouts'. I hope the ingame render is a bit more appealing.

Other Stuff: My brain works in funny ways, sometimes. With writing and RPs as of late, I've been tasked with making two new characters, each for a different RP. The first one, I had a truckload of trouble figuring things out, but finally did. My newest, I came up with everything for him in two days.

I find him utterly adorable, and I don't really know why. I've never fangirled over one of my characters like this...>_>

My computer, Oscar, may not live much longer. I will honestly be surprised if it chugs on nobly for 4-6 months more, let alone a year. I've had issues with the power supply, which in turn has (we presume) effected the VPU. :/ So, I've been saving up money to buy parts to build a new computer, as Oscar is too old for a simpler upgrading.

I part with a very epic picture of a titanium crystal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Titan-crystal_bar.JPG

So, there we go. Now it's time for me to go back to being bored.

Some Information

2010-09-22T18:11:00.002-05:00

So. I feel like talking about my characters' names. An actual what-is-happening-with-me kind of post will be up........WHEN I FEEL LIKE DOING ONE.

so for now, you get this. twas inspired by poking around Ash's blog.

Sullivan, Marceil and Zander: Their names just popped into my head. And I rolled with them.
Lei-May (Soso): She was named after a High Priest I had back on RO.
Technologic: After the epic-as-shit Daft Punk song.
Kharis: It's a Latin name, but the site where I got it from...doesn't have it listed anymore. D8 /fail
Max: After an RP character of mine.
Amaranth (STR Cath): After the Nightwish song. <3
Sarajevo (second female elementalist): After the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Sarajevo 12/24 song, which of course, relates to the city.
Kalestine (female musk): Something I just totally spewed out of my brain one day and liked the sound of.
Proxima (Selva Norte): After the red dwarf star, Proxima Centauri.
Cagalli (Caly): After the Gundam SEED & Destiny character. I thought Caly's voice actor sounded awful similar to the one who voiced Cagalli in the English dub.
Frequency (Lisa Lynway): I was reading a lot of science that had to do with those, at the time I was hunting for a name.
Mika (Mia Karj): After the jewel, which fits since she is a jeweler in terms of personal skills, and because it's like mushing her first name with her last initial.
Vikster (Viki): ....just some random cool-ish sounding thing.
Deidre (BSI): After a character from The Chronicles of Amber, by Roger Zelazny.
Atlacoya (Ania): After an Aztec Goddess of drought.
Sarabande (Claire): After a song by Globus, Sarabande Suite.
Æmilia (Emilia): The original Latin spelling of the name, and after a character from Beric The Briton, by G. A. Henty.

Romina, Lorch, Vincent, Summoner Catherine, Sharif and Eduardo all have kept their names, since I like 'em enough or am too lazy to come up with something. Nar goes by Arkantos, but I got that from my pal Ratridevi. lol.

So there you have it. :v

Gasp another update

2010-08-24T21:20:00.002-05:00

So I'm back agaiiiiiiiin, and in a week!

you know, it's too it's not December.

First week of PTC has been, well. I'll just show you the log I've been keeping.

Wednesday, Aug. 18th - Mysterious Option, Result: Quarter Slot Permit. A bit disappointing but useful at least. :3
Thursday, Aug. 19th - Chose the daily route: got me some more enchant boosters!
Friday, Aug. 20th. - Mysterious Option again, Result: a failrific two metal armor crystals. booo. :|
Saturday, Aug. 21st. - Mysterious Option - Symbol of Aries YEAH BITCHES
Sunday, Aug. 22nd - Daily, grabbed some ring boxes. Opened next day: Abyss Flare ring LOLWUT and a divine blessing ring.
Monday, Aug. 23rd - mystery, oh goodie, how utterly lame, some offensive fillers. =_______= shoulda gotten the daily, damnit.
Tuesday, Aug. 24th - mystery, another symbol of Aries. o________O awesomeness, but weird.

I wonder what tomorrow holds. Oh wait, probably Enchant Boosters. xD
Whole reason I bought it was because G1 pulled another promo involving....buying that and receiving the wizard's Trump costume. I squee'd and promptly bought. Well, if I can get more nifty cs items and symbols out of it, it'll be well worth it.

School wise it seems I'll be doing meteorology and chemistry. and Latin, algebra 1/geometry. World historyy...hnng I think that's all. I hope it is. <_< Combined with mom no doubt wiggling disgusting grammar in, I'll have a good lot on my plate. BUT. I WILL PREVAIL. Also, motherface told me that if her adding things up was right, I got 12 college credits last year for the courses and tests I took. o_o

Recently (just before writing this infact lol) did Circuscircus with Jen and Irv. WE. KICKED. ASS.
And Zander was the last man standing lawl. They both died as Arsene had a smidge of health left and sadly I couldn't fire off something before they crystaled. Would've rocked. Ah well.

Today I leveled Darkness and Flintlock some more. 7 more levels between them till Whole Cancellation and Accuracy Shot. q_q Not to mention my Occultism is still sitting at like, 10. Or not even. >__________> why must they make expert stances so painfulllll.

Proxima now has all stances maxed and is about 20% from 101.
Helena's leveling Forgotten Magic, tis coo'. Amaranth is 101 now, nearly has Sabre Garde maxed. Then I think it's onto Greatswords. or maybe I should do firearms...yeah. Mrah, we'll seee.

Anyway, I am le tired so I'm just going to wrap this up annnnnd get some nutella. Nom nom nom.

If I ever get a cat, which is unlikely, but if I do; It must be brown so I can name it Nutella. >:D

Signing off, Goodbye, Sayonara, Over and out,

An Update

2010-08-18T17:07:00.002-05:00

Soo, lessie.

I vetted Romina today, and bought the PTC for the first time evar, because, G1 keeps doing these costume promos and... D: augh. At least it wasn't a failrific explorer pack. I say that because the top two are nasty expensive for me and the cheapest is kind of...useless..for me. :c

Last week, I finally upgraded to XP. hurp. I don't really like it all that much but I'm getting used to it. I LOATHE AND ABHOR Word 2007. It's such an obnoxious little fucker. I miss my 2003. q_q

Faaahhh anyway. Computer, who has a name now, which is Oscar, has been running..a...little bit better? Lol I haven't noticed too much of a difference. And I'm using Pidgin..it's..ehhh. I hated it at first but it's not so horrible to me anymore. Trillian had some borky problems so, that's why I switched. I may switch back to it if and when they fix things.

School's been creeping closer, so I'm relishing these last weeks of freedom. I know I'll be moaning and crying for summer probably by the middle of September. >_> At least, it should be better then last year. I'm..being more involved in the planning of things, and I don't have any fucking AP courses, so woo. Plus I've got a world history course, instead of just REPETITIVE AMERICAN HISTORY.

And uh, I need to go makin' biscuits. /reminder. Anyway, I'm happy to update some things on the list of the last post!

I've - Vetted Romina, I plan to get her to 'least 101 before I drop her to dusty-fy in the Quarters again. Amaranth is getting some hardcore Topolo leveling, I've already maxed about three stances on her. Workin' on Penetrar Cruz as I type. Proxima's almost got Cauchemar maxed, and ohmygawd, I love it. Twin Blades too. They hold the sabres so much more awesomely than in Bloody Feast. D: Hel has maxed all her Domination stances, so now I just need to...suffer and cough up the 850k feso required for her Forgotten Magic book. ;A; That and I need to get back to Darkness/Flintlock/Occultism one of these days...orz.

Cagalli's almost 101, and winderful~ I can't wait to expert her. Oh! I FINALLY got my hands on a nice Camisa, +6 and 2 DR for 50m~
As you can imagine, Frequency, Prox, Amaranth and Cagalli were squeeing.

I still haven't uploaded my photos from EAA. Goddamn I'm lazy. Oh well. I just hope I do it before school starts, LOL.

Me and bro are on the Netflix free trial (which is how I got Gredits as I call them, hurr, for my gold.) and Cloudy With A Chance Of Meatballs is here. Probably watch it tonight aftar dinnar.

I wish the stat caths would get a wig. .-. and my god I want her new costume alreadyyyy.
I need to do TA more...still missing some symbols for stances and I just want to build up my symbols to hopefully make a Constellation weapon. (me? const? lolrite.)

The whole reason I started leveling Romi to vet was because the Schwarseiz costume came out. God what a typo that is, but its one spiffy outfit. Sure, it's cleavage, and Romina is the last kind of person to flaunt that, but.., you just compare her in Schwarseiz to Reckless Emilia, she's the most modest, conservative Priest's daughter evar. ;D

OKAY. I think I'm done.

Bye now. I'll be amazed if I update this again before August ends. lol.

Derp2

2010-08-01T20:55:00.003-05:00

Lotsa stuff has happened since the last post! |D

Reallifey stuff, I went to EAA on Sunday. Got sunburned and bitten. I HATE YOU, MOSQUITOS AND SOL. ;_; It was okay, first airshow was the only..."worthwhile" type thing for me <.< I took a fuckton of pictures (not that many actually, only about...60?) which I have yet to upload, lulz.

Finished up my CLEP exam...holyfuckitwassomuchbetterthentheAP. Different subjects but like. JUST THE FUCKING TEST ITSELF WAS GRAND.
-For one, I got my scores instantly after I finished. Unlike AP. Where you must wait a couple months.
-For two, I did it on a computer (yesssss). Unlike AP. Where everything's all ancient with them thar pencils and paper crap(I kid, I don't think they're thuper old fashioned..just..old-ish).
-For three, I had a nice lil' room all to myself with no annoying noises! Unlike AP. Where I had to do it in a crappy school's library, and they couldn't close it off so there were always noisy students(ironic, considering its a library. plus the teachers and PA system were always going. I guess they had no clue about the library=quietness thing.) 8|

AND I HAVE THOUGHT OF A GRAND STORY. Still fleshing the characters and stuff out but...it's great. I've made up little stories all the time and now an actual large-y one, but...this one is different. SQUEEE~

Onto Granado stuff, I've managed to do TA more, which has been fun. Tis all pretty much thanks to Lusse. <3 And my bishop-ghost hunting paid off! I got myself a fine fine fish, which has been turned in to Emilia so she can eat magical, expensive sushi. Along with ze water-bearer. I think he's pouring her that, or something. She must've had it with her delicious magic sushi! :D

And uh, this~

http://i31.tinypic.com/241kqcj.jpg

http://i30.tinypic.com/2n74h80.jpg

Occultism and Flintlock are going slow, though. q_q Doesn't help that I always die in FW. Gahhh. I hate this. Epic buffs but Ryrin is a bitch sometimes, and then I'm always dying, and its not like the spawn is ubar, and there's all this crap dropping ALL THE FUCKING TIME GRAHG. Anyway.

So I'ma take a cue from Jen and list some shit out nao.

Sullivan
Marceil
Zander
Tech

Max
Amaranth
Cagalli

Veteran/100-
Deirdre
Romina

People who just generally need moar leveling-

Equipment related-
Chip some goddamn DR on EMS/EDC/LNs

Hopefully I remember to update this list thing... xD

Over and out, then.

2010-07-12T21:48:00.003-05:00

Holy crap its a blog post.

Simply for the sake of changing it, I guess.

I hate leveling Darkness, vetted Amaranth and Proxima, I hate High Guard, and Dios is a stingy buttface and doesn't drop symbols, and I finished a...month-and-two-week-or-so old drawing, finally.

Readin' a novel I got for Christmas, finally. 'Bout the Seven Years War. Tis decent so far.

Got some more techno, and Kpop music.

Woo for mundane listing.

Life's pretty crappy atm. Wish I could take a break for a year. A self-imposed exile. Yeah, that'd be nice...

Derp

2010-06-09T22:24:00.002-05:00

So its been awhile figured I should update blah blah balh.

My Aries hunting finally paid off, got one on Sunday. So now I'm leveling Darkness, speaking of which...*tabs to recast Divine Blessing*

Uhh...

Started the Holy Water quest but seeing as how my friend even had trouble with his Masters and shit with the instance, I'm gonna wait...until like...forever... xD

And holyfuck I got a DHR last Friday, helping another friend get the Swamp Angler kill for the Bahamar questline.

@_____@

I'm too poor to craft it. LUL. Too poor to even craft one of the jewels it needs. And even then, I don't have enough snail shells or OCP for anything...so yeh. It'll be awhile before I create it.

School is going well. I'm pretty ontop of things...sort of lawl. At any rate, I know I can achieve the goal I set for myself so I'm fine with that. :3

Erm...what else....Henry Hatsworth OST is win, ohmygod Hans Zimmer does scores for too many things, and I've been blasted by nostalgia as of the last two days.

I leave you with screeenz.

;D

/flies off

Reflections

2010-05-25T23:53:00.002-05:00

Sadness.

Emptiness.

Excitement.

Wondering.

Anxiety.

Picturing.

Dreaming.

Worrying.

Smiling.

Longing.

Anger.

Feeling. Those sum up how I've been lately. Saw Robin Hood last week. Once again Devs proves to be the man to go to about movies. He has not failed me yet. :P GOD I LOVED THAT MOVIE.

This day in specific has been crazy. Single handedly went through triumphant feelings from acing a bunch of biology quizzes one after the other, to being bored as fuck online, to doubting my story, to fretting about another, to recovering...oi. Its crazy, to just sit back and think about all you felt during the day. Try it sometime. It might surprise you.

Anyway, things are going well in GE. Sharif and Hel are 80, leveling Deirdre and Atlacoya now. Prox is 78. Oh did I mention I got Selva? Lawl I did not. Well I did get her. Wootwoot.

Taking a break from experting has been good, methinks.
Anyway, I'll just keep working. Get that gear, level that char, reach that crescendo!

Movies And Stuff

2010-05-11T17:56:00.002-05:00

Saw Ironman 2 on Friday.

It was awesome. If you go see, there be a teaser at the end, after the credits.

You know what was not awesome? The fact I had to see a twilight add at the theater.

Uhhmm what else. Still grinding to expert. Decided to drop Tech for a bit so Kharis could catch up with him, and have been using Lisa in his place. Ohmygosh I forgot how awesome of a blender she was. <3

I also have a symbol of Capricorn, now. Only need two more, one for Marceil and one for a Const. xD lol. I got a Levitation Ring for Zander, too. /o/

Of course, this means I am poorer....and when I need a le noir for Marceil. Oh eff. ~_~

Anyway, its time for some videos. Japan=win. That is all. And no, I'm not a...wapanese or whatever they call those Japan-fanatics. Lawl.

Annd to continue the funny, here's Robin Williams!

xD Bye now.

Le Sigh

2010-05-02T15:35:00.003-05:00

You can live your life in a thousand ways, but it all comes down to that single day, when you realize, what you regret, what you can't reclaim, what you can't forget.

-After The Fall, Trans-Siberian Orchestra. <3

Derp, so things go and go. Tech and Kharis..I don't know if I'll ever expert them. Its still so far awayyy QQ Must. Persevere. Server-wide announcement, and the leetness of Flintlock and Occultism!

And...APUSH on Friday. FUCKING JOY. not. q_q Blargh. I wish I didn't have to do three essays. I suck at writing when its about things I don't care about/hate and I'm forced to write and I basically have to lie and write all "proper" ....sigh. Screw you, life. Get outa here with your copious amounts of crap.

I really wish things would turn upwards. I'm stuck in the muck. -headdesk- Let's see if I make it to summer.

A few nice things here and there help. Like ze new costume. <3

Owning up AA:

and Depri

:> Sigh, I wish I could get his pants for myself, too. They're so awesome.

TSO concert was copious amounts of win. Shoulda brought my camera. xD I want a Night Castle concert NAO.

In other news I got another musketeer, Kalestine Avorea.

Anyway I guees that's it.

Awesomesauce and Failsauce

2010-04-21T14:55:00.002-05:00

Yesterday was: Awesomesauce

So we went to Cousin's Subs for lunch and ate at the harbor. THE WEATHER WAS ACTUALLY NICE. And fuck, I always forget my camera. QQ Had a ham and provolone on Parmesan asiago cheese bread <3 MMMMMMMMMM. School went decently too. O:

ANNNNNND LAST BUT NOT LEAST.

Zander is Expert!

Cirucci and Lucana need to go die for their comments, though. :C
But yeeeees. Original team is expert <3>.> So I guess the White Bishop will have to come later. Of course, all this talk is crazy coming from me, considering I'll never get a Dragon Heart. Let alone three. So I'm still wondering if I should look at an Einaptor or what... bleeeeargh. q_q

Today so far: Failsauce
Overslept, had a lingering headache through out the day, and my digestive tract apparently doesn't like spaghetti, now? I dunno. e_e LE SIGH.

Tomorrow should be: Even More Awesomesauce
DO YOU KNOW WHY?

TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA CONCERT TOMORROW, THAT'S WHY.

Yes that needed to be in bold caps.

Anywho I guess I'll leave you with some kickass shots of Zander and Kharis owning-it-up in Depri.

Second Expert, Delicious Exp Boost and Plans

2010-04-14T20:48:00.003-05:00

yay for long titles.

DANANANANANANA!

The others congratulating Marceil as she becomes the family's second expert~

But I still need a le noir for her QQ Sooo...today was exciting in that I read some real wtf-ness posts in the RP, and the fact that we has new costumeees yessss. Need female ele costume ASAP. I have to go buy gold. LE QQ SIGH. Might get the cat pet since it's a FUCKING CAT<3>:D

And I'm gonna try to make the most out of this exp boost of gloriousness and win. Zander is 108 now, and I'm in SA as I write. Hopefully I can max Equites and dump Sullivan so I can finally focus on others. My plan is to get three experts by the time this boost ends, or at least get close. Gonna take Kharis and Tech to AA when this pass is out. I just hope it isn't TOO crowded. Only one level to go for Equites...so. Let's hope I don't disconnect/get killed from people turning off my comp. xD~

I guess that's all. o.o

Ohhey this is the 50th Post

2010-04-11T13:54:00.002-05:00

Just a simple update.

Used my Target card from my birthday to get the stuff I needed~ +5'd my EMS (I love you Idge) and used a Secret Area pass. Equites went from 18 to 23 on it. 8D Plus Marceil and Zander went from 30-ish percent to 80-ish. Sullivan got like 20%. Pretty good overall. I'm not really sure what to do about upgrading, because I have my EMS, EDC, El Mago, Elite Fang of Steel and Iron Pistol to do x.x Bleeeeeh. qq

I suppose I should do my EDC and El Mago.

Uhmmm....we went to circus the other night with a full ten people xD I always wanted to just try that. Mind you, the clan doesn't need all ten to do it. D:< Went awesomely but the drops sucked balls. I got a blue rough which turned into a Good Quality Turquoise, though! \o/

Blah I don't really know what else to talk about o_o

Well Holy Shitsinga!

2010-04-04T08:52:00.002-05:00

I has Ania and Helenaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 8D

I decided to work on their quests yesterday evening and actually succeeded after borrowing some leet gear and turning up the perseverance nob. ;D

HOLY CRAP AT THE PLOT. Its just....ffffff, no I would not have seen any of this shit coming. o___o

Hel looks so cool~ And her voice over isn't too bad but I don't think any VOs will be on par with what sGE did. xD However, she says Elemental Strife when casting Fireball....and she doesn't even have Lord of the Elements. So, wtf?
I named Ania Atlacoya, an Aztec goddess of drought~ It was one of the few cool sounding, easy to spell/remember names I found. xD

Oh and Happy Easter if anyone out there celebrates eet! /o/

Birthday is tomorrowww. I hope I get a Target Card so I can stop being fail and get shit done in game. lulz.

I have determined to draw Simon, Asoka and Valeria like I did Vincent, too. But I always forget. That is not good. :c

All the drama-llamaing over on the G1 forums has me a tad pissed off. I don't care if it was in jest, Google is king when it comes to April Fool's Internet Antics. < yes I just made that up. Next time I vow not to give a shit about any of them tards if something real or whatever like this comes up. Annd...what else...

Well, I got an EDC now for Tech, but I've yet to even touch it. Need UAs. QQ And Lusse had her birthday back on the 29th. We made her an EDC! \:D/ Despite the complaining/moaning/griping I've heard from friends(that are coughhighlevelcoughcough) about this patch...Well that's the way shit goes. :| And I'm glad that my philosophy of waiting/being cheap has paid off. xD Thank you, Circusssss. In other news, the grind will become slightly less terrible as I have more Vet Exp Cards from completing them quests, so I'll feed some to Zander and Marceil later. I just wish I were grinding to Master and/or beyond and had Titan's Remorse AA. qq THAT PLACE LOOKS SO AWESOME...FFF. Like, I'd totally hit master and grind through that hell just to be able to level there. Lololol.

Anywaaaayyy. I believe that is all. :>

Stuff & Lots of It

2010-03-15T15:55:00.006-05:00

Saturday the 13th marked me finally completing Nar's instance battles, which I'm ever so proud of since I didn't borrow anything.(well, fine, I am using Shride's Zomg Wtfhax Blunt of Awesomeness) The trick that worked for me was managing to buff faster then ever before and then putting Marceil on Escrima. That and I kept all three of them alive too, not just Sullivan. :P

Then the next day, me, Iseijin and Lovat (later Isei's friend Val) went to Oculta! 8D It was epic.
And I hate all the hype about it. Like...it really wasn't that bad, and its not like I'm exceptionally geared or something. I used like..10 soul crystals. xD It was great, and really kinda fun. We all got our journals by the time we killed the needed 10 Kobald Elders for Nar's quest, too. /o/

Equites= Fucking win. Must. Get. Centella. But. It. Levels. So. Slowly. GAH.

The few times I went to Bahamar AA, I've gotten a Chess Piece. So I think I will make a weapon, someday. Leaning towards the Blade of the Queen for three reasons: I like how it looks, and I got it free from completing the quest, and Balbanies recommends it.

And I have an EMS for Sullivan (*FINALLY!*) and a Le Noir for Zander. I never really intended to get him one, but after seeing the DEF bonus they give, I decided it would be good for him. :3 But QQ ohmygod I need a LN for Marceil and Kharis/Sarajevo/Later on Vincent & Helena. Marceil can't survive worth a shit in Errac but my invincible Zander and Sullivan can. >>

Nar is annoying. I can't figure out a name for him. FFFFFFFFF.

Marceil is Vet10 (OHMYGAWD YES ONE MORE LEVEL TO GO) and Zander is now Vet7. @___@ and now I have officially ran out of steam for the campaign that is experting. Also, I've dropped out Grace because I don't think I want to use my only Aquarius on her and I'm leveling Equites. so yeah. The grind stuff I gotta do after I expert those two is:

Work on Mastering them
Leveling random people
Get Selva, Ania and Helena
Expert Tech, Mika and Kharis

Recently this weekend I did Team Arena for the first time and let me tell you: I fucking love it. <3 Too bad we couldn't kill Dios. Ah well. Maybe next time. I'm just pissed its late at night. Its even late for effing Californians! WTF, G1. This weekend also was my dad's birthday, so grats to him~ Following the joke Martinellus started last year: "He only has 27 more levels to go and then you can promote him to vet!" xD

Sooooooooooooooooo yeah.

Bumbidum

2010-03-06T08:55:00.003-06:00

Holy craaaaaaaaap.

I've gotten so much done @___@ Okay so.

Last weekend I helped pwn in the Circus raid, and we're doing it every day. 8D Last weekend I also finally acquired Claire's card. I now have four Trumps, too. :P El Roco, El Mago, La Templanza and La Puerza. I think the next Trumps I make will be the greatsword and rapier.

So, yesterday I went to see Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. It was...so epic. And wonderful. And funny. And amazingsauce. xD The music was great! GO SEE IT.

I'm still leveling Grace, Zander and Marceil to expert. Getting there. Going to AA during this exp boost is quite wonderful. Infact, I've been gone from AA for too long. o.o It's so peaceful to just sit there, not have to do anything, and watch them kill....

yes, I'm weird. If you haven't figured that out by now.

There's 12 veteran levels left between all three of them, so..awhile, but I'm getting there. Hopefully next weekend some of Caliburn will get together to Occulta and get our expert stances. I already have Sagittarius and Aquarius waiting! D|

I'm pretty confident that I'll have at least Marceil if not Zander and Grace all expert by my birthday next month. It's my unofficial goal. As in, I'm not really super ultra concerned about it, the idea just kinda floated into my head and I was like "okay that's my newest goal." xD

I also got myself a STR Cath, and named her Amaranth, after much thought. :D She's already gotten me TWO family levels! And she was only 60 from the merc, now she's 65. xD I suppose I owe something to Deirdre(BSI), too since I was leveling them both in Gigante for a few days.

I guess that's all for now. I wonder what craziness today will bring.

Over and out!

Ahoy, Captain, I see a post!

2010-02-07T14:07:00.002-06:00

Soooooooooooooo.

Hi. :D

Been awhile, sorry. Been so ungodly busy with catching up in biology. I hate biology. ._. Not only is it extremely...complex when you try to think about it, but its also retarded, and moronic at times.
Lemme give you a few points:

-Biology means the study of life, yet there's this big part of it with the whole creation vs evolution. Which has to do with TIME (which I think of as physics-territory) and then DEATH, what with the fossils and shit.

-Now whenever I see the word rod, whether it be in the context of a weapon, or rod-shaped pretzels.....I only think of rod-shaped bacteria. e____e So annoying.

Moving onto something else that isn't basically me raging at it:
Granado is going okay, now. Got my new monitor, which I've had for a week, and the router has stopped being a turd...but it might start up again. Who knows. BUT. (There's always a but, isn't there.) I have no AA passes, cept for a seven day...which I think I should save. I..dunno. x_x
I've been in Via Fail so long I don't even remember when I started going there. Grace is Vet level 3, Marceil's 7 and Zander's 4. Not too bad.

I hate being broke. I am in Granado and real life, thanks to that stupid steel dagger and monitor. >_> And while I love my purchases, its still annoying to be drained. Especially when you get all kinds of ideas on what to buy for this that and the next thing. UGH.

Humm...what else.

Oh, umm. There's this here contest: http://forums.gamersfirst.com/index.php?showtopic=40436

._. And I don't know if I want to enter. I'd probably do the writing because I'm slightly less fail at that then art. Mmm, and I happen to know two good artists...but their both busy. orz Stupid brain doesn't help me cook up stories when shit's on the line! D8<

Now then... I'm blessed to know epic artists. xD Isei drew me another piece, here. http://izanethex.deviantart.com/art/Marceil-Fiarreck-Scout-SotNW-152704091

<3 Marceil~

And then mooferz, or D`Arwyn as he goes in sword FINALLY finished drawing my first character I ever invented, Almontri. :3
http://mooferz.deviantart.com/art/Lightning-dude-for-Euxiom-152749499

But the turd forgot his name. -facepalm- Anywho, I am absolutely thrilled with it (even though he forgot I said "cloak" not "scarf" xP) and now I want to hug Al. D: Yeeah... xD

I guess that be all!

Some Progress

2010-01-24T16:16:00.002-06:00

Well, I finally got through my monitor and internet problems long enough to get Zander and Grace leveled up. \o/

But on those notes, we need a new router, and I need a new monitor. OH BOTHER. @____@

And yeah that's all for now. Lulz.

Ho-hum

2010-01-21T15:16:00.002-06:00

Been sorta busy these last few weeks.

Science, for one, I had to do all of last week so I could do an exam. @__@ At least I got 89% on it.
Now I have to catch up in math. *facedesk*

Granado-wise, I've finally decided on who I want to expert next: Marceil, Zander and Grace. \o/
I've already got a symbol of Aquarius in prep for Flint, so that's one problem outa the way. I need to get me a Capricorn and Aries, though. Do want Power of Darkness and Enhanced Tactics.

HOWEVER. My internet connection lately seems to be determined not to let me level. x_x
And my brother doesn't even have a clue what it is anymore. It's not downloading massive files. It doesn't seem to be the ISP. *facedeskx2*

I just hope I'm over it and it won't be crappy today. orz

In other news: I decided to ask my clan leader Iseijin to draw something for me.
http://izanethex.deviantart.com/art/Zander-Escure-Wizard-SotNW-151070013

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. 8DD Gahh, if only the ivory school looked like that in-game. *.*~

And his smirk is so badass.

...

And sexy.

>_>
<_<

xD Rofl. Anyway, just an update...I can't think of much else. o_o Cept that I'm looking forward to some Fringe tonight.

Its a New Year

2010-01-02T21:54:00.003-06:00

And that means new beginnings.

I suppose I will keep this thing, I've grown so used to it.

There may be some changes soon!

yay, short posts.

*gets to work*

Goodbye?

2009-12-27T19:46:00.001-06:00

I'm considering letting this thing go inactive since I don't think anyone reads/cares.

Thoughts?

Or is this post pointless like the rest.

A Report!

2009-11-04T20:19:00.003-06:00

Lawl. I wonder if I'll keep the tradition of "one post per month". xD

So hallo.

Recently, I've started watching Hellsing. And I must say, I love Alucard. :P But mind you, I'm not a stupid, crazed fangirl. >_>;;

My RPing is going nice, and I got two new veterans - Mika and Idge. 8D

I've started doing more things on dA as of late. Kind of nice there.

Hmm. I love TSO's new album Night Castle. It's EPIC WIN. And that's the truth.

And I think I'm going to attempt to write an essay on Ulyssess S. Grant. That's my own November Project. ;)

/short updates...blaaaah

Octobrrr!

2009-10-14T16:20:00.002-05:00

Gasp, I live. I just had a reeeeeeaaaaaaallllyyyy crappy September, that and I wasn't sure if anyone even read this. xD Anyway I feel like updating, so here it is.

I am currently: eating ice cream (Some Ben & Jerry's) in October. Yes. I am crazy. But also resistant to cold. \o/ Killing stuff in AA with my new Veteran, Tech :D And listening to Sonata Arctica's In The Dark.

Woooooooooooot~

Today I did the PSAT. And I just imagined I was fighting Obama, Novia, and Behemoth. Yeah....don't ask unless you want a long story. So, I may be seriously starting the expert grind soon.

/short update is short.

Ohai September. The Nineth Month, When You're Actually Seven.

2009-09-10T21:57:00.003-05:00

So yes. Here we are. September. It's funny, Sabaton's 40:1 song fits with my school.

"The 8th of September it starts..."

QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ
Gosh, I hate school. It's causing me to hate my mom too. :( I have sooo much shit to do, it's not funny. The only thing remotely cool is that thanks to my friend SpellCheck, and her violin ramblings, I'm back to the Piano! AND THIS TIME, I SHALT BECOME A MASTER OF IT.
Also, Steve Demme's Math-U-See course, Algebra 1 is what I'm doing....it's nice to work with, I'll admit.

Biology is lame and fail. I want my Chemistry plz. Q_Q
And History is lame too. I wanted to learn more world history, and then focus on Asian history. BUT NO. WE JUST HAVE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT U.S. HISTORY. ~__~ AND I have no Henty books. That was my one source of pure and complete joy, last year.

Gurg, growing up sucks.

Tracking back to Piano for a bit. I want to become as good as my mom, because, she is very good at it. And then I wanna become like Kim Junsung and Yunus. If you don't know who they are, PLEASE LOOK THEM UP. <_<

I'm very flipfloppy about my future as of now, in every single way. It's so...bothersome.

Moving on, even though for some retarded reason we haven't completely finished The Exiled, (or Esantri as Captain Stratus has dubbed them ;P), we've started another RP, this time run by SpellCheck. 8D Basically, once again, our RP is ahead of the Sword version. >.>

BECAUSE.

RECKLESS EMILIA IS THE VILLAIN.

Lololololol. Yeah. Tis called End of Days. Theres lots of sadism, swearing, and space talk. 8D A wonderful combination, wouldn't you say~?

And Caliburn is steadily chugging along. We've been doing Diablo like crazy. I need to participate in it more, cause I gotta chip my daggers, and my new Conqueror Shotgun. Which I snatched off the market for 32m. -wins-

And back to Bands. I lurve Nightwish so much. Even though I miss Tarja...Anette can sing, so that's good. n___n~ Kamelot, of which I had one song, I have sort of rediscovered. Now I have...two more. Lol. Sabaton is still awesome, AND I am going to TSO's concert again.
-ish a happy girl-

Three songs, For The Heart I Once Had, Eva, and The Human Stain by Nightwish and Kamelot, respectively...reflect things for me. The first two...I sort of idenitify with. And then, 'Stain is pretty...deep. D: And awesome. Their all awesome. Gosh. So much awesome musi-

CRAP. I NEARLY FORGOT E.S. POSTHUMUS.

Anyway. They are epic. Unstoppable and ARISE are some singles of theirs which I recently found (I never keep up on things I like, lol), and I love them so.

Going back to EoD, my character is me. Different name, slightly different looks, older and such, but she's the closest yet to being me. xD I came up with the name Geneva Crux a million years ago, but then someone else used the last name of Crux (I'm looking at you, Balb.), and so I had to go with something else. I came up with Amsterdam.

Geneva Amsterdam.

Flows nicely, doesn't it? :3 Only a few days after I came up with it did I realize it's also the name of two cities. Lawl. I dun care, I think those places are awesome, so her name just has more underlying awesome.

Anywho, I'll wrap this up now. Buhbyes~

I Still Live

2009-08-18T14:28:00.003-05:00

Hey guys, sorry I've been so silent. ~___~

So lemme give you a skimming of the last few weeks:

I went to Oshkosh for the world famous EAA Airventure. :D It was awesome! I saw the Airbus A380! AND WENT ON IT TOO! Ask for pictures if ya want em. xD We also saw the WhiteKnightTwo and VMS Eve, part of Virgin Galact1c. But, the price I paid for all the awesomeness was some bad sunburn. During that whole ordeal, my mother was of absolutely no help, lawl. I saw the Honda Jet too! Annnnd the Red Bull stunt Helicopter. It was pretty awesome.

Next...let's see...hmm. Well I've been busy with my RP, The Exiled. It's getting really epic. xD
We're having so much fun, and all growing as writers. It's really wonderful. You can easily find it on the forums.

I went to see District 9 last Friday, and boy was it worth it! I loved it! CGI was perfect, sound effects and concepts were grand...good job, Peter Jackson. :D

On some other great notes: I've learned more about Blazblue, and it has a pretty cool story. Songs are EPIC. But, I probably won't get it since I suck at anything I touch.
I've also downloaded Limewire...it's helped me get some songs, like Carlton's work. I've also grabbed up some mainstream Green Day, Linkin Park and Coldplay songs.

But what do you know, thanks to dear old mom, I'm winding into depression...about school. Q_Q
Like, yesterday she got some SAT/ACT PowerPrep thing...cause she wants me to take a PRACTICE SAT in October. ~__~ But like this program is for the real SAT...so will anything I do in it even apply/help me? I'm likely to think not. Ugh..not even the 20th of August, and I'm already sad about school. My mom broke a new record....-sigh-

I really hate how my future's looking, right now.

I've just got to remember the things my heros have said...In the words of What I've Done, I'll start again. Thanks, Linkin Park, you just cheered me up. XD

I've Been Lazy

2009-07-25T16:53:00.006-05:00

Kay so.

I've done it again.

Not updating things, that is. AND THERESSOMUCHCRAPTHAT'SHAPPENED.

So let's see if we can compact things nicely....

Ancient Area is wonderful. I brought Freq, Kharis and Zander there the other day and gained 6% total, 2% gained each. Today I bought the Belly Dancer costume from the feso shop. I had enough, the fesos were just sitting there, and the costumes are still broken, so I figured what the hell and got it. She's of course, vary pretty in it~ <3

Which brings me to another point. For the anniversary of Sword, K2 gave out three different types of wings, of which Marceil and Freq are sporting. They were:
3 Pairs of Permenant Black Angel Wings - Which look nice on Mika, Sullivan and Zander. :3
3 Pairs of 15 Day Devil Wings - Cool, I can always use extra stats.
3 Pairs of 15 Day Black Angel Wings - Which give 8% speed...lol. Freq's usin them, and she's down to 21 speed. Not bad, considering that's the only speed buff she had. I probably should remove that point from AGI, but like....I'm lazy. And it costs gold. SPEAKING OF THAT.
I decided to make a Veteran's Ancestral Lightning Bracelet. Freaking Long Name. I ended up +5ing it cause I can't get a Ziz. QQ I ended up using my 36~76 chips trying to get a 100 one, finally used two 88s, three 92s and then three 96s to get one. >_>;;
So I was in Katovic earlier...I've gotta say I love using Lightning and Raid Assault there. ;3

I finally gave in. I can't keep hating on Claire. :/ And actually I've found I should just hate on Claude more then her, since HE's the one sending her around to do all this stupid crap, and she asks for help. AND ANOTHER THING. Claude AND Jose don't recognize me. Even though I DID BOTH OF THEIR QUESTS AGES AGO AND HELPED THEIR SORRY ASSES. O:< Stupid Devs and their inconsistencies with the storyline... I went around with Claire to collect debts from Vincent, Emilia and the Rebo Investigation Guy. Vincent really isn't helping his image by saying this to me...

SERIOUSLY?! YOU REALLY SOUND SUPER GAY NOW! AND PEOPLE THOUGHT YOU WERE GAY FOR JUST WALKING TO AL QUELT WITH LORCH! GEEEZ MAN.

Ahem. So yeah. I've gotten to the Unknown Ore part now...I sort of regret not afking last night trying to get it. .-. Blah, maybe it's good it has such a bad drop rate and that I'm lazy; it'll keep me from straying from my goal. Which is to Veteran all of my alts (or get to 100, in some cases).
I won't make any new characters till I do. Oh boy. How long will that resolve last, eh?

The G1 forums now have their Sword section....it's....bleh. I hope it gets skinned to awesomeness soon like the WarRock forums. :< But they say it's in beta...so meh.

In other news, I've gotten Dar and Shride to join Caliburn. Muahahahaha. But Dar is usually afk (NO SURPRISE THERE, RITE GUISE?) and Shride is usually offline. D:

Annnnnnother thing. I went cabbage/apple farming with Rak the other night, and moar proof to my theory of the male Wizard and Caly being siblings: THEY WORK SO BLEEPING AWESOME TOGETHER. O_O Seriously it's like pewpewfwooshfwoosh AOE AOE AOE AOE AOE YOUR DEAD!

AND THE ZOO. I HAVEN'T FORGOT ABOUT THAT. It was great. :D The Wings From Down Under thing was pretty neat, there was this biiiiiiiiig cage that you walked into where the birds were. There were probably....two thousand of them or more. I'm not kidding they were everywhere. o_o

Admission to this was extra...which is LAME. But they gave us these popsicle sticks with seeds glued to em.

That's my hand. :P

This should probably be first, but uh whatever. 8D
I GIVE YOU: THE NEW MILWAUKEE ZOO ENTRANNNNNCE! *trumpts play*

I'm actually hiding behind that pillar next to the green recycling thing. (Brother is the dude in blue) Mom takes too many pictures. And it just so happens I can still be ninjar to you folks too. Talk about awesome.

Abit before we had lunch, we saw this guy. My brother's pretty good with pictures. Unlike Mom.

On our way to lunch, we saw this big guy. I think it was male, anyway.
Poor thing must've been so hot. D: I sure was.

Then we have ze lions. TYPICAL LAZY CATS. Seriously they look just like Oreo does. >_>

Another typical lazy cat. But Snow Leopards still pwn. <3 It was funny, there was this enclosed sitting area to see him, and we were sitting there all pooped out. And people kept coming in and walking past it, or turning around and finally seeing it and went all "ZOMGWTFBBQ THERE'S A SNOW LEOPARD IN THE CORNER AND IT STARTLED ME CAUSE I'M A NOOB LOL"

Now I should complain about the weather. iGoogle's always telling me it's going to rain lately but it doesn't. D: It'll be windy and sprikle....THEN IT WILL CLEAR UP. WTF MAN. :| The upper half of the state is in Severe Drought, according to the National Weather Service. QQ My mom was telling me we should go camping up there again but we probably won't cause the stupid sky is deciding not to rain.

Anywho, that be all!

I have a new Favorite Sandwich

2009-07-13T16:31:00.002-05:00

Hailo~
So, quite a bit's happened since last Tuesday!

I'm making decent progress leveling Marceil and Sullivan in Topolo Durga. Yesterday I maxed Plow Guard, and today Marceil's Escrima reached 23. I switched to level Roof Guard now, it's 11.
Also last week I got a striking deal. Cresmein was cleaning out her storage, and I bought her +5 2DR Albeas for....*drumroll* 60m! :D Zander's finally getting some good gear. Funny how my magicians are the ones with the good armor.... =__=;

Whilst I've been leveling those two, the rest of my quarters plot my demise.
If I were a witty artist, I would've made some little comic to put up, but alas I am not. So I stick to what I know best: words!

"Gosh, I feel lucky that I got leveled Friday night when I did." Idge remarked from her comfy spot on the couch.
"Your welcome." Bernelli said with a roll of her eyes.
"Man...she WAS leveling us in the Prison....but now...now we're just sitting here yet again." A particularly angry Musketeer named Technologic said in disgust.
Romina agreed. "I miss fighting those creatures."
Mika then proceeded to chide Idge "You haven't even gotten to 70 yet! You can't even join me in adventures!"
Idge replied with: "Hey, it's not MY fault! Al doesn't level me!"
Then Vincent and Kajitora appeared out of no where.
"YIKES! Where the hell did you guys come from?" Mika exclaimed, hiding behind Tech.
"Umm, Miss Idge, at least she's gotten you to 69. I'm still stuck at 50 and Kaji here is freaking 25! The LOWEST out of EVERYONE." Vincent said.
Then a Camisa-clad Fighter stepped up. "Why did I even join this family...?"
"Belletrix got rid of you for vis, remember?" Kharis explained. Max hung his head.
The Targan, and the confused little boy then put in. "Aye, we're stuck in the 40s too, you lute player." Sharif said.
"Yeah....she never brings me out. SHE HATES ME!" Vikster said and burst into tears. Caly tried comforting him.
"She doesn't bring me out either." Lorch stated.
"Same here." Freq said with a sigh. "And here I thought she wanted to Expert me during April...."
Deirdre and Ed put in their two cents as well.
The Wizard then tried to quel the brewing storm.
"Guys, come on, relax. You should be happy she's not on another break like back in May."
"Yeah yeah, keep playing Al's advocate Zander." Tech quipped.
"At least she's trying to help Marceil and Sullivan get somewhere!" Zander pleaded.
"You sure were won over with that Albeas, Zander." Kharis remarked.
"This has nothing to do with that silly green coat. You all are acting ridiculous." The Wizard shot back.
"I say....we show her who's boss around here." Tech said with a menacing grin.

SO THERE YOU HAVE IT. THEIR TRYING TO KILL ME. D:

Now I'll finally explain the title. Saturday night I tried an Arby's BBQ Bacon Cheddar Roast Burger(why the hell do they call it a burger...when it's not.) IT WAS FREAKING DELICIOUS.
It had yummy classic barbecue sauce, crispy onion rings, fresh lettuce and tomatos, perfectly cooked bacon...melted cheese....oh man I love that sandwich. So yeah, Arby's, you better thank me with a free sandwich for just promoting you. D:<

Another thing: SOMETHING CRAZY AND AWESOME HAPPENED LAST WEEK.
Sword updated to 2.9b on Monday. AND THEN ON THURSDAY PANGYA UPDATED TO SEASON 4! O____________________O
NEVER, have I ever had the two games update in the same week! Talk about awesome! \o/
I've gotten Mopsy, who's uber adorable and wonderful and awesome <3

And then here's Lucia! Need moar equips for her to come out plox.

Also I may be going to the Milwaukee Zoo on Wednesday. :O
Gonna see a fancy Australian bird exhibit. I REALLY REALLY HOPE THE STUPID WEATHER DOESN'T DECIDE TO RAIN THEN. D:

Until next time, I'm Al, the Arby's lover and character neglecter. (^D^)b

Pollux Sword, Independence Day and 4.0

2009-07-07T12:35:00.003-05:00

So, things are going nicely.

On July 4th we had my dad's friend John over. He made this kickass noodle salad. <3333
Next time he's over I've gotta ask for the recipe. We also had watermelon, chicken and beef shishkabobs, and some apple pie. :) We didn't go to any firework shows, though. I could care less, considering the ones Port has always suck.

Then on Sunday I decided to use twenty powders and farmed LoD all day long~ I made a Pollux Sword. Originally I planned to use it with my Idges, whenever they hit vet, but I couldn't resist using it with my fighter, heh. Plow Guard's 20 already. :3 Now I just need to figure out if I wanna get Sidewinder on her.
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Granado%20Espada/capture_02555.jpg

I've been soloing her in Topolo as of late, getting more Mega Ores and usually at least one piece of 80 equipment. This morning I reached 10%! I'm so happy! \o/
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Granado%20Espada/capture_02560.jpg
This is just after she leveled. I got 100~200 more HP and a pitiful but lol-worthy 5 more SP.
I'm wondering if I'll be able to hit 700 SP on my melee people when I expert them. I don't need to worry about Zander or Kharis, I mean, hell, Zander's already got 832 SP. xD

In other news, awhile ago I got Kharis from Begari, and now I've snagged Flurb's Caly.
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. <33 (the characters not those two. they fail. ;D) Awhile ago I was leveling Domination Lightning in Katovic. e_e I wish I could get my hands on some good Zizes.
...Zizs? I have no idea how you would pluralize that. But here's some screens from that adventure.

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Granado%20Espada/capture_02528.jpg

Later Chivalhope, my new friend came along to help out. And apparently Gavin and Marceil have a thing for each other. 8D
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Granado%20Espada/capture_02531.jpg

Now, let's talk about UPDATES. YESISAIDTHEUWORDZOMG.
Neume seems to be more hopeful about the 14th being the day for the rest of 2.9. I hope he's right, and I hope they fix Caly's quest. It technically doesn't matter since I have a veteran now, but...I love quests. :<
And Hardeh posted on the Sword forums about the kGE test server for.......4.0. So far it just seems like their making the UI better with changes to the zone map, adding a nifty mail box, a new Al Quelt Moreza raid, instanced raids(?) and made a better turtorial for newbies. Cool, I say! :D It just blows my mind that the Koreans are already working on 4.0....why couldn't I have been born in Korea or Japan? ._. Check out the SotNW Forums - General Chat for Hardeh's topic and
http://starstorm-ge.blogspot.com/ for more info on 4.0. I'm not going to list everything. >_>

Onto another update related thing, Pangya should be promoting into the newest season, Season 4. I'm thinking it may be tomorrow or Thursday, but only time will tell. I definately think it'll be out this month, though. I can't wait, I got a popstar ticket for a free Lucia. :D

I've also found some new videos....sorta. Their new-ish to me. First ones Last Alliance's Shissou, which was the ending song for Ouran. I <3 the full version.

And then this is just epic awesome MS Paint shit. :> OH AND, JUNO REACTOR PWNS YOUR FACE! <3 Must get that song...

Excitedly reporting all the awesome shizz that's goin' on, Al~!

July

2009-07-03T10:36:00.003-05:00

Hellos~ So heres the first update of July.

My watch has finally run out of juice. xD So I'm (hopefully) gonna go to WalMart later and look for a new wall clock. Maybe I'll even post of picture of it, if I find one I like. <_<;

AFKing has been successful. One of these days I'll have Install Traps maxed on Marceil, haha.
DomIce is 19 on Kharis, it'll probably be awhile before that's maxed though, since I'm working on leveling Mika and Idge. I think once those two get to 74, I'll level them with Tech to Veteran.
I may be getting a new Musketeer, too. One of my clanmates is leveling her for me. xD
I'm not sure what I wanna name her....I was thinking Renee, I've always liked the name. But I also am considering Teiron again. I finally got my hands on an Adelina card, so I'll start leveling her one of these days. Adel sure is a cool character. :D Plus it'll be handy to have the bladesmith.
I think I'll level Middle Guard on her first, since A. I hate the stance. B. It's needed for Low Guard.
If my memory serves me, her stances are:
Bareknuckle (lol)
Middle Guard
Twin Blades
Heaven or Hell
Freestyle Shot
Double Gun Shot
and Low Guard.

I kinda wish I could get a Captain version, cause....Nien's made a big impression on me. xD
I only wish she would lose the hat and eyepatch and retain her crafting skill. ;P

Onto Vocaloids, I'm still digging for their songs. *laughs*
I found a wonderful Miku song called Cremation Melody, or Kasou Kyoku.

And ya know, this reminds me. I hate how people rant about Miku's voice being high pitched.
Cause honestly, she's yet to bother my ears. Rin and Teto, on the other hand, have had some terribly high pitches. <__<

I've also started something I'd never have guessed I would end up doing: partaking in a forum RP. Role play, for those noobs who don't get it. It's quite entertaining. Irving's also in it. :)

I watched an old 90's show last night. Sliders. It is LOL. Kinda like Quantum Leap.
It's about this genius kid who opens a portal which can take you to one of many alternate earths. His professor, Maximilian Arturo. A random singer named Rembrandt Brown and his friend from work, Wade get sucked along. The effects they used for the 'slide' is so terrible compaired to nowadays. xD
They ended up in Communist America. There was PT&T, for one. They were getting chased by the evil phone company, lawlz. And it turned out that in this earth Wade was leading rebels against the commies. So they ended up helping the rebels and freeing that places Wade. Who later died. Lol. I may watch more of it, I'm rather undecided.

Anywho, that be all for now!

Happy End of June!

2009-06-30T17:35:00.004-05:00

Okay then. I have not posted in twenty days. I think I need a smack on the head Dx!!

So I'm just going to list what all has happened~

I actually bought some new clothes! o_o!!
I went to see Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen. ITWASFREAKINGAWESOMEKTHXBAI.
I went to an awesome pizza place, Zaffiro's.
I got a Veteran Caly and another Fighter. :>
I bought a Target Card. Yes I gave in.
I was Leader of Caliburn for like, a week. Which was hell.
Begari came back and I gladly dumped the rings back on him.
Kimiaru experted her fighter Reina at long last.
Astell actually got on.
I met a weird new person, Tsui...something.
I tried Oberweis icecream. Freaking delicious~
I watched Defiance. Twas really good.
Thanks to the Telos video topic, I've found alot of awesome~ :>
I joined a Forum RP
I've stopped reading Girl Genius. (Because I've found I get less enjoyment out of it, reading it weekly, so I am going to pick it up again later)
I've been enjoying watching Conan host the Tonight Show. (I still miss Leno. >__>)

And that pretty much sums it up. I've probably forgotten some things but whatevs~ xD
HAPPY END OF JUNE EVERYONE!!!!111

June sure has been an interesting month. o.O K2 has been going through alot of hell. BUT I AM STILL UNEFFECTED BY IT. xD I mean...I don't even know what all the rest of 2.9 brings. Aside from stupid lolicon Claire. Also, now that I'm in a clan again, I really really want instanced raids. ): TO OTHER NEWS:

Some famous peoples have died. Ed McMahon, Ferrah Fawcett, Micheal Jackson and Billy Mays.
I only really knew Mays. xD Jackson always came off as a nutcase to me and I never really listened to any of his music. McMahon seemed like a cool dude. Fawcett....uhh. I dunno. XD
But Mays was awesome in my book, I loved when he came on the Tonight Show (twice, once with Leno and then O'Brien)

So methinks that's all, and it's something to sort of round off this quiet month.

Reporting from somewhere, Al. o7

Updating for GREAT JUSTICE

2009-06-10T11:59:00.002-05:00

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.
An update. In June. ITS JUNE. PWAHAHAHA.

*aherm* Had to get that little bit o' crazy out. So...yeah. Tis Juuuunnnnnnnnneeeeeee :O
AND I AM DONE WITH SCHOOL. BOOYAH! \o/ Sometimes I keep thinking it's Sunday, but no, it's Monday. Or Tuesday. OR WEDNESDAY! XD And here I am listening to a damn Christmas carol while I write this? Lawl. I know nothing of the term 'seasonal music' 8D ~

Okay now I think I can write somewhat non crazily. First off, yesterday, for the first time. I did not feel useless! o_o I helped Begari hunt Golden Baaaats. Those things are ridiculous yo.
But today. I felt like a failure. Such happens when I try fighting Novia. :|
I'm claiming the Epic Failure: Orpesia Award nao. Cause I borrowed some of Mis' gear. (Elite Le Blancs, Ziz, etc. UBAR STUFF) AND I STILL DIED. Gosh...I hate that place .-. I hate Novia. But I don't know if I hate Invierno and Gavin alot too...their making me go through hell too ya know. o.o So maybe I should hate them. Onto other thiiiiiiinnnnnggggs~:
THREE POINT SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIX. GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH.
Aka.
3.6 AS IN VERSION!!!!!!
Reckless Emilia looks like a Sith. lol
Real Catherine looks like a RO Assassin. 8D
Valeria...her grown up looking face does not fit her ten year-old like body. So that pictar of her is baad~
I wonder what the Elementalist's new stance is. I hope it's a kickass Dual LOE Bracelet one. For the Master rank. :> Then the Elementalist Master in the Master Room would make sense, yaknow? 8D
AND WIZARD EXPERT STANCE! I just wish it was a damager. Not another stupid debuff thing. 3:

Now to the Vocaloids. :D
I finally listened to Kokoro. Tis win. I like Rin's version better then Len's. Annnd. I guess that's it. o_o

So nothing really to tell. Just updating for the sake of updating, pretty much~

OH AND. TRANSFORMERS SEQUEL COMES OUT ON THE 24th! :D

Lots of Stuff

2009-05-31T11:38:00.003-05:00

Hey guys. Guess what?

I HAVE A BIG IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT.

I like pie.

But actually I just felt like doing that. o_o Sooooooooooo. We're verging on 96 hours of down time for Sword. K2 Fails. 8D I mean, I was wondering why they gave such a small timeframe (24h) for putting in new hardware. Like, don't they know of troubleshooting and the like? >.>
Once their back up, I think I'll work on leveling Kharis abit. In other news: Pangya and Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds have been filling the Swordless void. I'm doing the Island Tour for a second time, hopefully I'll get a swimsuit for a character I actually have. >__> Stupid randomness.
So SWGB is so fuuuuuuuuuunnnnnnn :D I used to play it years ago, but now I've picked it up again. The Wookiees' Advanced Berserkers are <3 And Royal Naboo...geez, their stuff is so FANCY. x_x;; But they have uber upgrades for the Jedi and planes. Annoyingly so, it likes to crash. Naboo's workers look like...little robotic worms.. I think I might wanna try out either the Rebel Alliance or the Galactic Empire next. It's pretty fun to play it with my brother. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnddd. Let's seeeeeeee. What elsee...
YOUTUBE! I made an account there. Gasp. Maybe if I ever upgrade to XP, I'll get Fraps and see if I can record some Audiosurfin' 8D The Playlist feature is <3 We went to see UP on Friday. Twas very fun. And the 3D was goooooood. OH OH AND! Last night I watched the eighth episode of Eden of the East with my brother, right? Well...there was this add...stuck in it.. The dubbers must've thought it too hilarious to remove. But it was an add for Star Trek with Japanese dubs. LOLOLOLOL. Our big hybrid popler was taken down last Wednesday. I just wish they would've taken it down before it started with the leaves..<_< I guess it really is a sign things are changing and your growing up when two of the things that have been with you your whole life are suddenly gone..

Okay, now I have an actual big announcement.

I ONLY HAVE ONE WEEK OF SCHOOL LEFT! HUZZAH!

:D Can't waiiit. \o\ \o/ /o/

I've Been Busy

2009-05-22T19:26:00.002-05:00

Very busy.
I came back to Sword. Oddly thanks to two things: The obvious one, K2-Raiden communicating more gave me hope. And the more obscure reason: keriberry's wonderful lineart that I colored o_o
Which reminds me I still haven't posted the one...
So, I have a veteran Elementalist. Whom I decided to call Kharis. Tis Latin :D I've been doing crappy in Latin lately. .___. And I have no bracelets H_H I have joined Begari's new clan Caliburn. I was seriously laughing before even five minutes of being in was up. :]
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Granado%20Espada/capture_02068.jpg
There's Kharis after getting Domination Ice. That things a damn PAIN to level.. I have maxed Anathema as of afking in AA last night! Woooo! Tactical is chugging along to 25 as well. Sullivan and Zander have reached four percent, and Marceil's at five. Mighty Cruz is very fun so far, so I guess it was worth spending my 25 MP on.

I have found more Vocaloid songs to love, thanks to Kimi and my own searchings. Vanatouli remarked to me yesterday that he prefered real voices as opposed to synthesized. But, I don't mind if they sound alittle robotic, and most of the time they sound just as damn good, if not better then some real human singers. >:| As I've said before, I love all kinds of music. At least I'd like to say that but some types of 'music' exists...that is like a man with a dry throat screaming, and such. :( Now, I have a few things to recommend to ye all, below:

The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes
Well, he's the world's greatest fictional dectective! But seriously, you SHOULD read it. Watson's excellent at describing things and theres a nice lot of humor sprinkled throughout. And it might help you become more observant, who knows!

Star Trek
I saw this last Friday, and I must say it was good. The special effects were killer, the plot line good, and the music PURE WIN. Chris Pine did a decent job of portraying a young Kirk, I thought.(I admit I haven't seen much of the original though x.x) Zachary Quinto was pretty good as a younger Spock. :D And Jennifer Morrison was Kirk's mom! Wooo!

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian
This was fun. I saw it earlier today. But you should see the first before persuing this.
It was just really super fun! :D

Of course you can just ignore my suggestions, at your loss. <___< Nah I kid. OR DO I?!
Things are already starting to feel like summer here. The last two days were nice (damnit, a cold front moved in today!) in the 80's! <3 That and I just feel freer from school...it's nice. So basically to sum up everything that's been going on lately: Things are really friggen awesome, and the bad stuff is minute.
I'm somewhat depressed that all our shows are coming to an end, to be replaced with stupid crap that ain't worth watching. I mean, people are generally less busy in the summer(right?) and thus have more time to watch TV, but...there's nothing worth watching, because for some reason the networks feel they have to put stupid shit on. D8 /rant
Ah well, I guess that's all!

The Void is Being Filled

2009-05-11T16:33:00.003-05:00

HAI-LO!

I r back with an updatez. The void that was created when I stepped back from Sword is being filled quite nicely I daresay. <3 And by the strangest of combinations of things, at that, too. o_O
WHICH ARE:

The Vocaloids
Macross Frontier
Sherlock Holmes

LIKE WTFLOL? Why is it that I'm using those to fill it. xD Granted I finished Macross a few days ago but it's still fresh in my mind and what not. I'm still hunting down vocaloid songs~ aaaaaaaand today and yesterday were the witnesses of the revival of Sherlock! o___o Boy I have missed his adventures. o_O Been waaaaaaay to fricken long since I read that. D: So I looked up some things about him! Via Wiki, of course. I ran into two new terms - Sherlockian and Holmesian. And apparently theres a Sherlock Holmes MUSEUM. A MUSEUM. IWANTTOGOTHERE. And I found that Sidney Paget who illustrated him...looks....ALOT like Holmes. I'm guessing he used himself as a model to create Holmes. o-o
I already knew Holmes was something of a chemist - a good one at that - but...he also was fluent in Latin. So basically I have come to the realization that I want to be like Sherlock Holmes, with some modern stuff thrown in. xD Sigh, one can only dream of that though.

Onto the other two, it's funny cause I found a fan-made version of one of the originals singing a song from Macross. xD And Yoko Kanno did the music for it! o_________o SHE'S SO AWESOME. D: I love TALLY HO!

(^ this was the fanmade vocaloid singing a Macross song) And actually, this song gave me a crazy idea for a video...but of course it would require good animation, and drawing is not my forte. :p
Heres another video. Miku and Luka sound <3 together. Their voices blend so nicely and they sound perfectly human!

And I've also thought up what Vocaloids would fit the Clue cast, lol. Probably thanks to Sherlock. >_>
Kaito - Mister Peacock (yeah, she's a lady but she's the blue one! D;)
Miku - Miss Midori (a play on Mister Green xD)
Meiko - Miss Scarlet (they're both smexylike ladies in red? o.o)
Rin - Miss White (seems like she'd fit the part of the evil maid!)
Len - Colonel Mustard (I'm not really sure about this one, the other option for him was to be the butler and Rin's partner in crime, and a butler doesn't exist! DX)
Now then...Professor Plum..I have absolutely no idea who would fit his part. Certainly not Gak cause Gak is an eggplant loving samurai that might be from the future...and isn't cool enough to be Plum. so meh. >_>

Moving on, I was on Sword abit today. I really felt like rambling about Holmes to you guys...but Nien and later Uchiha were the only ones around, and that didn't last long. WHICH SUCKS. D; I got on just to talk specially to you guys but noooooooo. you all decide to go MIA and quitzor like me. <_< I honestly don't think I'll come back even if we get updates...cause..I dunno..anything that held the game up on its feet is breaking now. If we actually do get new content I suppose I may end up recanting this though...maybe the magic will come back.

And on Saturday I started watching Eden of the East with my brother. Tis awesome so far! :O
I like the art style(people look real), music is nifty, the intro/outros look coool. And if there's like, English(I just mean people who speak the language, not Brits) people they just speak in English xD Tis cool. I'm dying for the next episode to get out and get subbed. ;_; So yeah I guess that rounds it up~ Sayonara o7

This is a Title, V.2!

2009-05-08T17:27:00.004-05:00

HELLLOOOOOOOOO!

Finally the week is over. 8D It's been a nice Swordless week~ I just finished Macross...and...umm...WOW. SOME OF IT WAS SO FRIGGEN CHEESY. D8 But I guess it was okay. xD I'm usually never disappointed with the shows I watch. So if you've yammered to me, you'll know I've caught the V-Type Infection. No it's not Vajra, but Vocaloid. e_e And it's all thanks to Kimi. But yeah, found some fun artwork and wonderful songs. 8D Now I have even more of a reason to learn Japanese, so I can buy Vocaloid2 and start makin' music~! TV shows during the week were good. Astell's been much help translating songtitles for me too, *laughs* I'm rather jealous of him. >8\

Anyways, Latin's slowly getting alittle interesting...whaddya think Auris means? Sounds pretty right? I thought so to. But it means ear. o_o Hmmm. Maybe someday I'll type up a whole entry in Latin! >D Yeah....I'm in that huge inspired mood I usually get into after finishing a movie or series. I feel like I can take everything on! Hahahaha. xD Lately the writer in me has been dead, but thanks to a certain vocaloid and her song, it's alive again! I've got some great ideas for the story I'm crafting for Al. But...annoyingly so, I've yet to put anything into words, it's rather a movie in my head. NO MATTER! I shall eventually write it out.

SO NOW. I give you....VOCALOID VIDEOS! BWAHAHAHA!

So this is the one that's inspired my story. Rin's song just...made the possibilities expload. \o\ /o/

From the other twin, Len! I just love this song. It's so epic. o___o Reminds me of a few tracks that play in the new 3.0 areas. Also telephone cord weeds!
They both sound very human too, props to the creators~
Next up we have the Paprika ending song, Byakkoya no musume, sung by Kaito. Here he too sounds wonderfully human. I had my mom listen to it and she loved it. She was shocked that it was also, in a sense, a computer singing. <3 Goo Kaito~

AND BY THE WAY. I'm not a fangirl >:| I like Meiko's, Kaito's, the twins, Miku and Luka songs. I haven't heard Gakupo, but he can go die...stupid eggplant samurai..haven't really heard any fanmade vocaloid songs though, I'll probably run into them sometime. AND LASTLY. The strange and hilarious Triple Baka song....I guess vocals would be Miku, Teto just mutters stuff...and Neru just futses with her phone. K_K FLYING BREAD!

Kaythen. End of the vidars~ And frankly the end of post! Guten tag~

Free Time - Sword = Vocaloids?!

2009-05-02T21:48:00.002-05:00

So yeah, those who know me have probably seen my topics on the ole members forums/official forums regarding my decision to leave the game. I might come back in a week or so...and I might pop on to get Shride to powerlevel my musketeer. lolol 8D A heart felt thank you to those who I have had the fortune of meeting in the New World. I haven't completely quit...just a break, I suppose. It's not really because of K2, or no 3.0, or any ingame drama crap. I sort of talked about this in my previous entry, so yeah...honestly the thing that ticked me off the most was the community bullshit lines- oh I mean community guidelines. >.> And a mod abiding by them by deleting a topic I made. It just seriously ticked me off and pushed me over the edge. >:E I get SO tired of all these stupid rules...*sigh* MOOOOOOOVING ON.

I've been maybe three, four or five days without Sword. So far so good. o_o Progressing slowly but surely on ESO. I was checking out my skills and apparently theres one at level 94...in which you can turn the targeted player into a SHEEP. That's right. A SHEEP. I was rofling when I read that. 8D Pangya-wise, well...things are pretty much as they are. NTreev's still got it in Beta..so once that's overwith and we have new content and cookies back things might become more interesting for me. :D

NOW TO THE EQUATION. Thanks to Kimi, who...posts Vocaloid stuff on the video topic in our forums...this latest one is so WEIRD. I want to rip my hair out....because firstly I can't figure out if Kaito's in a duet with Miku, or if it's just him. :E SECONDLY.
Why is he the Super Creepy Phantom of the Opera? THIRDLY. Miku as a loli= epic fail.
His costume is kinda cool, cept for the hat. The hat is fail.

And let's talk about today alittle. Namely, my teee veee watching!
I started Macross Frontier with my brother this morning...I gotta say, Ranka's cute. And I feel sorry for Alto, being dragged into Sheryl's ridiculousness and Micheal calling him Princess...rofl. xD But yeah, so far...I am hating the lyrics for the intro song. >____> Cause it's so OBVIOUSLY about the whole yet-to-be triangle thing between Ranka, Sheryl and Alto. ¬0¬

AND I WATCHED THE LAST CRUSADE. It was fun :D Connery sure played an interesting part.. xD I'm going to start saying "Intolerable!" now.

So that's about it. :D

This is a Title

2009-04-29T21:23:00.004-05:00

I should shove out an update before May comes. So here it is! :D

I've not been on Sword as some may have noticed. Something inside of me is just...not able to be on there...I can't really explain it..I know I have work to do there...grinding, making Vis..and I still love the game...it's just..like that scene in Osmosis Jones, at the end where the fired Mayor pushes the 'DO NOT PUSH' Button, which is actually the farting button. In that its like something pushed the 'Blah! No Sword' button in my brain. o_o

So on ESO I've reached 18! I love flying on a cloud. And I wish you could fly in Granado. >_>
FLYING IN ESO>LEVITATION IN GE. Yeah, I said that. lol :3

I've found some animes I want to get, too! Macross Frontier, after seeing an amv for it.... 8D
I don't care if I spoiled something! D:< I read the whole Wiki article on Gundam SEED before watching it, lol. And that's a spoiler heaven. The other anime is My-HiME. I think that's the proper spelling. Below is the AMV that I saw :3 I brag and brag about hating romance, but theres exceptions. If your planning to look into it and don't want spoilers, well...Don't Watch? ;D

In other news: Apparently the man who played Charlie on Lost is going to be in Wolverine.
More proof I must go see it. I always end up seeing the first big action films of May. D: I MUST KEEP UP THE TRADITION!

Blah

2009-04-24T20:41:00.003-05:00

Ahola~
Things go blahersome in Granado as of late. I got Brister to 73, Grace hit 83 powerleveling him, but I'm still so far from Gigantic Blaster and Outrage ;~;
This heres a screenshot from the other day:
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Granado%20Espada/capture_02023.jpg

I love pesting Begari. xD

Annnnnnnnnnnnd. Kimi got me and Astell to play Ether Saga Online. o_o
My Conjurer is finally level ten. The grind in that game is...compairable to the expert grind in Sword. WHICH MEANS I HATE IT AND IT MAKES ME CRY. D: And the layout still confuses me. <.< I find it a combination of CABAL, what with super fancy skills, Pangya, with good 3D rendering, and RO.

Not much else to report. D:
Baiz

Experts, Fringe and Glee

2009-04-21T17:05:00.004-05:00

So, here we are with another April update! And, *GASP* it hasn't been over a week since my last one! Yaaaaaay. Al's doing his job again. :3

The last few days have been nice. Sunday was practically perfect, even though it was the start of three days, counting today of rain. BUT HEY. I'm not one of those weirdos who's emotions get floppy cause of the weather. >:] I had alot of fun with Shride. We went to the toxicwastedump land and had some fun. I only got ONE sun stone though...I tell ya, that place, is brutal sometimes. We ran into, of course, Leungs and his lameo TRIPLECALYTEAM. The Bust Shots nuked us all...except...Marceil. It was EPIC. XD Heres some screens:

Because you have to have a ss of all your purdy baffs. :3

I also got Caly to 60, woohoo! Areblast(I can't remember how its spelled) is up there on my list of awesome ingame sounds. It's as badass as Raid Assault and Anathema's trademark sounds!
I also successfully carried out Operation: Pizza that day and got my parents to buy some. :> Irvi and Shride will account for that!
Monday was filled with interestingness. Bones was hilarious, Heroes was good. I also was able to afk overnight, probably cause I did so with Shride. xD Brister got ten levels, and maxed Kneeling Shot. Gawd, I hate hate hate hate hate hate hate HATE THAT STANCE. But...I like having completeness...and according to Mis it's good for raids..so.. u_u But on the plus side to such hell, I got a million plus profits! *rubs hands in glee*
So far today has been okay. I watched an interesting thing about Tecumseh and his fighting the Americans in the War of 1812. Frankly as an American I am very peeved about that part of our history. I mean, the way he was willing to fight for his right to, practically live, is like...very American-y. <_< BUT NOOOO. We just have to be all stupid and wage war with the Indians... *cough* ANYWAYS. I'm learning some more new and interesting things in Latin....but...I also want to kill Rosetta Stone. Cause the last lesson I had was...kissing. D8 'Vir et femina inter se osculantur' is 'Man and woman kissing' pretty much. AND NOW. NOW IN THIS NEXT LESSON THEY HAVE CRAP ABOUT FRACTIONS. I MEAN WHAT THE HELL. ....oopsies. I forgot to turn off my rant button. :3 Mooooooooving on!
I expect Fringe to be fun tonight, as always. Sadly I come to expect screams when I watch it...my mom's annoying like that. One time my older brother even just got up at the commercial and stomped off to his room to watch it, rofl. xD Time for a few more screens!

A recoloring of Lei's outfit using the Photobucket editor. I absolutely love it!

Now for a few congrats: Congratulations to AutumnFae for experting Grace and her Elementalist! Both today! You go girl~(wow I just used that stupid phrase 8D)
Shride, for experting Lisa at long last. Now I have just another thing to be jealous of you about.

I guess that's all for now, folks! and don't forget to check out my other new blog for writing-related-ramblings! http://leiswriting.blogspot.com/

Nine Days Later...

2009-04-18T18:47:00.004-05:00

So yeah, it's an UPDATE. :D
I sold Soho The Turd last night, yaaaaaaay. Got 38m for him. 8D
*trumpets*
Let us welcome the newest member to the House, Lei-May! \o/
I'm glad I have her. :D Martial Elements: Ice is rather interesting. I wonder what it's based on.
I still don't know what to put her point in...*sigh*
Freq hit 13% the other day, so I'm getting there. I need to start afking more overnight and TRAIN MY MUSKETEERS. x_x Sigh, I wish there was a faster way to do it.
TODAY started nice. Weather was great in the morning, and I went to McDonalds for breakfast. xD Oddly enough, as I got into conversing with Tife, he too had been at McDonalds. And he too ordered a Sausage McMuffin. o___o FREEEAAAAKKKKYY.
But yes, Tife the Artist/Writer/Nub has finally gotten into Ark. And Kimi's on break.
Just like Rake. And Dairy. And Astell. And Shride. >:|
It's so depressing to see everyone leeeeave. D: And PangYa's back up! Annnnd...uh...nothing really worth mentioning...actually none of this is really worth mentioning, it's pretty much just a teeny update to let you know that yes, I'm still alive. I'm doing science and I'm still alive. And while your dying I'll be still alive. And when your dead I will be still alive. Still alive, Still Alive.

hahah...GlaDOS got to me there. So much boringness as of late...*sighs again*
ANYWAYS. While writing this I came up with an idea...I think it should be a good way to practice writing. I'm gonna make another blog devoted to fanfiction! 8D Also, Al says hi. He's been slacking off as much as I have, in not REMINDING ME TO POST MORE. *glares at him* ¬_¬

What's that? You thought I was Al? Well, Almontri is my alter-ego. Or perhaps my yang. Opposite.
Whateveryouwannacallit. This is supposed to be dodgey, weird and confusing. But it will soon be explained. <3

Moving On

2009-04-09T08:24:00.002-05:00

So, as the penalty week chugs on, I've been able to make some progress.
Grace hit 71, and I'm zooming along to getting Level 25 Freestyle Shot on her.
Branivyn is 76, and I'm massively enjoying Elemental Lord. IT SOUNDS SO FARKIN AWESOME. o___o I've still got like five more levels till INSTANUKE, though. I've gone back to the Prison de Joaquin, and I forgot how fun it was there. Plenty of mobs, decent place to afk(as I have been doing with them at night when I go watch tv), and the amount of money you can rack up there from just bulks of gold is epic. lol.

As you might've figured out, I've taken a break from grinding Lisa. I've realized I don't need to have such a hopeless outlook on her grind. In less then a week I've almost gotten one complete level in Veteran, and I think that's pretty damn good. :D Plus, I'm not going to make myself hate Abertal or AA, since I can just level other characters. Its weird how you people complain of it numing your mind...you can afk, you can do other stuff, hell you can get off. xD

I've created the Ark groupchat, and it's rather successful. Astell, Mis, Dar, Belle, Dan, Gobber, Mancel, Kimi, Iber, Nien, Uchi and Rak have successfully been snagged. xP I wish Flurb and Ide would get on, so I can get them into the chat. That and I might've forgot who else is there...orz

I've been tossing around a few ideas in my head about this whole Telos-Went-Kaboom thing..
and I was thinking maybe over the summer when alot less of us are busy, we could perhaps create a clan, for just even the summer. Might be fun, tell me what you think. And I even thought of a name for a clan. Atomus. Which you can probably figure out with ease, what that means. For the slow ones: Atom in Latin. xD I suppose the dream I've always had in my online life is trying to manifest itself now...but I know in the end it won't.
That dream is, effectively, to run a guild. To be a good leader, to be a menace(in a good way) to other guilds..I wished that in RO, in A18, and now I'm starting to wish that here too. Ah well, that's what dreams are...figments of what could be, but will not and can't be.

I leave you with this song I found recently, and I larve it. ;D

Mixed Feelings

2009-04-06T08:48:00.005-05:00

Well this is gonna be quite a bittersweet entry. Let's have the bad news first.
Telos is no more. I guess the End met its End. Ah well...let's recap!

It all started so..long ago. I had just reached 72. I was enjoying new Andre armors and giddy about nearing the amazing mark of ten million Vis!! Then Warlust broaded. I broaded something along the lines of: "Look out Calypso, that stalkers around!" Then he pm'd me, and our dissucion spiraled into him wanting to recruit me. I was surprised to find they had changed to the Republican side.
So I said, "What the hell, I'll give you guys a try!" Now, before I had checked out Telos, and found they were Royalist. I was absorbed in the storyline (still am), and was basically like this:
Go Simon! Go Auch! Go Republicans! Screw Vespanola! Screw Lyndon and Gabriella! Screw the Royalists! \>:o/

...lulz.
I probably wouldn't have gotten Veteran if it weren't for you guys. So I thank you. Now I shall show my thanks below, in no particular order. (This is for Telos' current-ish members, if I haven't mentioned you, doesn't mean I don't <3 you.)

Astell - The one who never used an emoticon other then <3 when he was talking about Mia. 8) I could talk to you about science too! It's such a blast to find someone as excited about it as myself.

Kumigara - You helped me level in the Old Port. ;____; And then you gave me Viki. ;______;'' You were so awesome!

Idemair - I was just lol'ing so much when I first met you. :D And I was super sure you were a guy..../fail. And happy to find another homeschooler! Hope to see you around.

Kimiaru - WHAT CAN I SAY. You rawk<3 All your silly Japanese and Spanish that I can't understand, all your talk of partners in crime, and your all around funness. :D

Warlust - Well, you recruited me man. xD If you hadn't broadcasted that just when you did, I dunno where I would be.

D`Arwyn - You're almost like a brother. In that your awesome and tease me alot. :P I STILL WANT GAVIN. D:< (or at least lend me your leet gearz so I can get him myself..)

LovelySonata - Woooo. You're one of my best friends on here! I'm really glad you came back and that I had the chance to get to know you. :)

Nien and Iberison - You two are so awesome, and I'm really happy to see adults, married at that,
enjoying this game. XD Thanks so much for helping me level in AA. :)

Bosspower - I don't know you as much as I probably should, but you seem like a great fellow. :p
You'll get Expert in no time! (Because your not fail like me)

Misericordiia - Well, I wish I would've gotten to know you better. Aside from your scariness in pvp and general lust for characters' non-existant blood, you were cool. :)

Flurb - YOUR LIEK THE ONLY ONE WHO KNOWS OF HALO. To think I found you annoying when you first join...lulz. Now we're good pals! (right?) For you: TACOS.

Mancel - You seem like a good guy. Aside from when your blood gets boiling, your pretty fun. :P

Tiferet - I think I spelled that right. I'm so used to just saying Tife, lol. YOU ARE SUCH AN AWESOME ARTIST. Hurry up with that book, I wanna read it. :P

Shride - You were also like a brother. Cept very weird. :P Hope to see you back sometime

Rakuru - You were so silly. xD I'm glad to have known you. IRAWAIN LEAVES TRAILS OF BEEF IN HIS WAKE!

TheDaringThree - I've now made up my mind that you are one of the Orpesian BroadCast All-Stars. :P Say hi to Brunie for me, lol.

Hirojinn - Well, at first I found you very annoying, but in the end you're an..interesting fellow. You speak your mind, I admire that. (plus your automatically awesome for being the only Aussie)

Crias - Your name rocks. It reminds me of CRYSIS. o_o; Keep going, no matter what!

That's all I can think of. Don't eat me if you weren't mentioned. .___. Telos will remain alive in my heart, as long as I live on this Earth. I don't know where I'll go next, what I'll do next. But the first thing I most definately will do is get my former clanmates together in a Group Chat I'll make. :P

NOW FOR SOME LESS SAD NEWS:
Lisa's reached 8%! I'm so happy. I think I could even get 12% by this Sunday. xD But then I might be being too over-optimistic. Branivyn's now 75! Evocation Fire is maxed, and I'm ready for The Elemental Lord. She's so awesome, she can take at least four hits from the mudmen before dying. And that's being ~30 levels lower, wearing the worst armor. lol. On Friday, I think, I got Branivyn the Ivory School Uniform. I love it<3 http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Granado%20Espada/capture_01816.jpg Someday...someday she'll be Expert. After I expert Sullivan, Marceil, Zander, Viki, Lisa, Grace and my Musketeers. 8D

My birthday was pretty nice. I got a pearl necklace from my mom, which was a huge surprise. o__o I got the Indiana Jones movie collection from my dad, yay! :p Not many presents, but I don't really care. xD

TTFN! (Ta Ta For Now. Yes, Tigger left a lasting impression on me.)

The Art Museum and Expert

2009-03-31T21:16:00.002-05:00

Hello~ :D A relatively short update today.
Firstly, I've found some more songs through the wonderousness of the internetz.

This song really inspires me. I'm gonna make a list sometime filled with songs that do just that.
And then, this one below is an interesting find. I usually dislike rap, but this ones pretty nice.
Yay for variety~!

So tomorrow I'm heading off to Discovery World yet again. It's rather pleasant to go there.
This time my class is about the wonders of dioxyribonucleic acid. Afterwards we'll be heading next door to the Art Museum. My mom wants to see Jan Lievans' work. I'm honestly not too interested in it. :| But its the only way I convinced my mom to let me go to just one class at DW, so..bleh, sometimes one must compromise.
Note: the museum is the, apparently world famous Milwaukee Art Museum. Which I don't give a rat's ass about. lol. :D
I guess that's more proof that I should be a scientist if I don't care for art. ;) I can enjoy paintings and all that, but...I just..dislike going to art museums.
ALSO TOMORROW.
THE GRIND TO EXPERT SHALL BEGIN.
I went and got a Target Card, my wonderful gold's here(still waiting on the boxes).
I'll break out a pass, Lucifer wings, get a feso hat, and start. :D I'm considering getting an Expert Battle Pack...but I think I'll wait till I get on tomorrow..I like giving each and every purchase some careful thought, even if it's only a minute or two of debating within my mind. I am absolutely determined to get Lisa to Expert by 11:59 PM April 30th 2009.

So with that, I bid ye adieu!

Hark! An Update!

2009-03-29T21:00:00.005-05:00

Wooooooow. I want to kick myself in the head for not updating this enough.
A lots happened since I last posted, and more is bound to! During the last two weeks that have passed, I went to Poison Yard, and got a Green Rough, which got turned into a normal Apatite. Still dunno what to do with this Apatite....
I got Assassin Daggers from Kimi and Erisia, much love to them!
I did something I never thought I would. xD I leveled alot the past week over night in Gigante. Yes. That's right. I did that. Romina got to 71, leveling them and maxed Defending Shot. Grace got to 68 leveling them there. Vincent's 36, only eight levels but meh, at the moment he's not too interesting to me. :| Branivyn REALLY shined there, I was just..wow. She got TEN levels. And now she's 69! Mika has also taken advantage of it, reaching 60. Brister too used it and is 56.
But woe is me, for Plumbum's all out of food. He's gone on strike. *mutters about the cursed animal not being greatful enough and that his food is stupidly expensive*
Annnnd CW was boring this Saturday, for the hour I was on. But we still kept our Colonies! Good job guys!<3

And now I'll bombard you with screenshots of the past two weeks events.

Me giving Dar some shit during the 21st's Colony Wars. Wow...that was a pun. o_o
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Granado%20Espada/capture_01716.jpg
Balbanies is so silly. X3

AHUM. Well that's the end of the screenshots, cept for this last one...I think. ;D I find myself wanting to get a Pollux Greatsword. It looks soooo fantastic<3
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Granado%20Espada/capture_01787.jpg
This also brings me to my other point. I find myself wanting Soso more and more! But I don't know if I have the heart to spend effectively all my powders on her...I've been juggling around ideas, like buying a leveled up one, or leveling up Kaji and trading him for her...I just don't know. @_@ With the announcement of Fritz teaching our favorite fantastic five his stance, Soso is only tempting me more. Halpz.
In other news, it seems the Target Cards are working for most people, I guess you just have to sumbit a ticket for your boxes if they don't appear, like usual. So that's going on my gift list! ;)
Next week is my birthday! I can't wait, I'm starting to plan out the day and it's looking good.
My little Mint Green iPod Nano shall share its birthday with me, it's turning one! Lol, look at me, acting like it's a kitten instead of a media device. ^_____^;;
So far the things on my giftlist are:
I sort of want a PSP. But apparently theres different types. x__X Its confusing, oi.
And so far theres only one game that's not yet released that I want it for... D:
Target Cards. If I do get it, my brother who also plays this will be the one to get it once again.
I don't want a repeat of Christmas, when he spent THREE FARKING HOURS wrapping it up in boxes and adding dictionaries for weight-desieving...gosh...maybe I should just buy one myself. >_> (NOW PERHAPS YOU CAN FIGURE OUT WHY I DON'T WANT HIM IN TELOS)
Ironman DVD, as well as the four Indiana Jones adventures. 'Nuff said.
I don't want to break the tradition of me often getting a LEGO set for Christmas/birthdays, but honestly I can't think of anything I want from them. 8| I should stop being so lazy and check out their site. That's all I've got, so far. xD I should start thinking about my cake...

A big congrats to Fae for experting her Brunie and Scout recently! Let's see...what else.
I've probably forgotten half the stuff I wanted to say in my blogpost since I took so farking long to make one. 8| Ah well, don't worry, my alter-ego will kick me if I don't update more often!

Fire Gate & Ideas

2009-03-16T17:23:00.006-05:00

Yesterday I got Freq back up to Veteran, and we attempted Fire Gate. I found it very exciting, my second raid! Some screens:
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Granado%20Espada/capture_01667.jpg
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Granado%20Espada/capture_01665.jpg
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Granado%20Espada/capture_01657.jpg
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Granado%20Espada/capture_01659.jpg
It was enjoyable as it was chaotic, for me. We had trouble being organized, but all in all I had fun.
And that's what matters. I'm looking at you, clanmates. You guys were spazzing out quite abit. Whilst things didn't go according to plan, and I understand you were upset, frustrated at what transpired, you need to remember that it is a game. :P

I feel a bit awkward about Mis wanting us to train more Elementalists and Musketeers. I would like to train my original three, but...it seems like she hates the idea of Expert Wizards, Scouts and Fighters. :x
Recently, I made up my mind and planned I would solo a Musketeer to Expert, but that seems like a hopeless endevour. Teiron's only 54. x.x Oh well, maybe I'll figure something out.
Lately I've been thinking how I wish I could go back in time to when I first started. Have a new family, a new ideaology. I'm mightly tempted to poke around Bristia with this. :o
So for the time being, I'm not sure of what direction I'll take. In the end there will be some sort of reward, no matter which path I choose. And after all, it is a game. ;P

So today, not much happened. I read about magnetism and the likes of that in science(oh I love you science<33), and other usual schoolings. I got a headache in the middle of the afternoon, thank goodness it's passed. Listening to Granado Espada and just relaxing in my dark room for awhile sure helped. Not much has happened or will happen on Sword for me today. I'm just leveling Teiron and Grace, with the help of Plumbum and Marceil, in the background. El Tejado Verde sure makes a good spot to train 50's. :D Perhaps I'll afk them there tonight during dinner, House and Heroes. Lastly, but not least, I have some songs which I recently found from Vanessa Carlton. I absolutely love them and they're quite often running through my head. ;)

OH SHIT!

2009-03-12T15:38:00.003-05:00

Ohshit. Ohshit. Ohshit. D:

GUESS WHAT?

I have to fight Novia. T________T

Dude this suckzorz. I'm like, closeeeee but faaaaar. Ugh. Seems I'll have to get like...50% into Veteran. And that's being real super duper optimistic on my part. Even borrowing a lovely Camisa from Dan and a Grimstick from Devi didn't help. @_@ I was only able to kill Montoro, before the others came and squished me. Now I've been wishing so much that it was an hour long instance, because if I had that much time I'd have more of an outlet to formulate a good plan and defeat them. But nooo. You're a fresh veteran and we'll give you twenty minutes to fight a Grand Master Novia, PLUS her 'summons' AND Viscount Turd. :D

....Evil Koreans... >_>

In other news, yesterday was my brother's birthday. And that meant lots of yummy food<3
My mom doesn't give herself enough credit, she's a good cook, and I'm inheriting some of that. ;D
As usual I'm doing rather weirdly in school, fluctuating grades are so annoying. I sort of wish I could have a spring break and go to the Dells. Just have some away-from-home-worry-free-fun-time. But factor in how my schooling is, the weather(which has been raining, cold, clouds, snow, sun and all sorts of shit), and the *gasp* economy! And you have a recipe for Al not getting to have fun. e_e

Back to GE, on a happier note then my other paragraph, I have another Veteran! Ryght's quitting Sword and has been holding a big give-away, and I got his Lisa. She went down to 98, but it shouldn't be hard to get her back up. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE RAID ASSULT. It's so yummy delicious slicey slicey chop chop your dead. :3 I've named her Frequency, inpart from Kimi's ramblings, my not being able to come up with a better creative name, and reading about the frequencies of stuff in science.

/end post

Crafting, Questing and Joy!

2009-03-05T12:24:00.006-06:00

Been awhile since I updated huh. o_o Well here it is!
I am finally over my cold! *dances...then coughs* Except...for..that blasted effing piece of shit cough. D;
I'm chugging along through school, the work load's gotten a bit heavier...but I just have to imagine June. :D Sun, warmth, no school..yeah, that'll be the day.

So! In my Granadoings as of late, lots of great exciting stuff happened! Sullivan, Marceil and Zander have finished the Bahamar questline. It was quite exciting, and they've met new enemies, new allies and new friends during their excursion. Sullivan recalls what happened...

Leonora welcomes us.
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Granado%20Espada/capture_01532.jpg
After Sharon betrays us, we have no choice but to fight her. Afterwards, Leonora surmisses about who Sharon's actually loyal to. We later found out about another of the Ten Nobles, Duke Cortes, and that is who she works for.
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Granado%20Espada/capture_01547.jpg
Fritz is happy to find theres still some good folks around.
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Granado%20Espada/capture_01556.jpg
Sierra talks about some other visitors.
(I found this highly amusing, how she talked of Grandice. ;P)
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Granado%20Espada/capture_01548.jpg
Leonora is greatful for our help. She gives us an old, warn text. It is the recipe for the Blade of the Queen, one of eight amazing pieces made by the infamous Ignacio Valeron. I wonder if his name will show up elsewhere..?
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Granado%20Espada/capture_01559.jpg
Lastly, a picture's worth a thousand words. We're good friends with Sierra now, and hope one day she may come to Auch, and meet the rest of the House.

There you have it! ^^ I sure wish Sierra was a recruitable NPC. I really would love to welcome her into the House! xD

Now for some equally exciting news: Idge has hit 60! At long last our beloved Armorsmith has gotten some inspiration, and created a Tempered Breast Plate.
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Granado%20Espada/capture_01578.jpg
Idge relaxes with Plumbum after crafting her newest piece.
(thanks to Ash, about this quest!http://starstorm-ge.blogspot.com/2009/01/tempered-breast-plate.html)

Decked out in Pioneering Ancestral gear, she's ready to dish out some awesome work! Grace is racing up behind, and soon she'll be 60 too.

Now back to real life for a bit: I can't wait to go see the Watchmen movie. It looks spectatular! :D

That's all for now, folks!

A Bit of Happiness

2009-02-27T18:18:00.004-06:00

I write to you today with some happy and hope. :P
The Girl Scout cookies came today, and thats something great. Oh how I missed you, thin mints and trefoil shortbread<3 *insert om nom nom here*
I'm also feeling alot better, and within a few days, methinks, I shall be completely better :3

I've recently been playing Albatross18 again, with a happy, blissful demur. OGPlanet is shutting down operations on March 10th. But the game's original creators, NTreev are taking over sometime in March. They shall again dub it with its proper name, PangYa! I have just been fully enjoying the game, tomahawking, spiking, putting and grinning, with hardly a care in the world~
With NTreev in charge, I highly believe things will change for the better. Below are but a few screenshots portraying the wonderful adventures I have there. Arin[featured in the obvious two] is the pretty sorceress and current character I'm using, along with Lola my caddy, seen in the first picture.

Katovic Sickness Expert Samsung

2009-02-25T11:16:00.004-06:00

Whew. So much has been going on.
For starters, my brother's got his computer all set up now. We actually make a pretty good team on GE. I am soooo jealous of his awesome 19'' Samsung monitor.
I've gotten about half of the Katovic questline finished aswell!
Zander was the only one who survived the journey to the Ice Wizard's Tower.

I think Invierno is a very nifty character. He wants me to make the infamous soup now, so I've got quite alot of work to do. I can't wait to find out the old secrets hidden in this land of frost and snow.

In other news, I got sick. o_O Tis rather annoying, but I've still been chugging along through school, snatching up some A's in math. :D

Teiron and Idge are making progress leveling, they're now 53 and 58, respectively. I can't wait for summer, that's when I'll start the grind to Expert.

So...This is What's Up

2009-02-18T18:27:00.002-06:00

The nightmare is begun.
My brother's got his new compy up and running.
His new keyboard came today.
And his monitor's on its way.

He's already gotten on GE and pm'd me, or even popped up where I'm leveling. e__e
It's TERRIBLE.

I'm making some progress in leveling Teiron, whose now 52. Only 48 more levels, yay...
I really need to get my hands on some good gear...I think the fact I'm boredly leveling my others instead of commencing the grind to Expert with the Original Three is because I'm worried they'll fair horribly...I need something to super motivate me! Aside from the obvious server-wide broadcast and up-coming Equitis.

Onto a different aspect of the game. The storyline. I AM DYING.
...To find out more, that is. I must learn who the Ten Nobles are! I must get Gavin Jameson!
I must figure out what's going on Bahamar! x___X

...I think I take this storyline too seriously....but I can't help it! IT'S SO DAMN GOOD. ;o;

I leave you with this:

Current Happenings!

2009-02-14T13:48:00.006-06:00

So, today is the stupid holiday. I can hardly contain my joy.
There are advantages to Valentines, though. Like candy. Yes...lots of yummy candy.

So in my Granadoings as of late, I've gotten the Original Three all to 1%. Only 99 more to go! XD
Bahamar proves to be a fresh challenge, but I'm iching to max Anathema and Defender there so I can go back to the Toubkal Plane and level Avant Garde and Incantation, which I plan to get after Anathema. Hopefully by then I'll have an excellent Rod with which to use it. And also hopefully by then I'll have an Elite 84 Graciegote. I desperately want one. :/
I'm leveling an uber fun team, which I like to call the Slicey Specialists Squad. It consists of Caly, Sharif and Viki. I've maxed Escrima as of last night, yay! And now I'm using Dolbalada Corte and Twin Blades. I've been having thoughts of the future lately, and I do think Sharif will become a Veteran. This Targan's just to awesome not to be <3

Ide's introduced me to the world of DJ Max, a game for the PSP. She linked me to Colors, and then I dug around YT and found more gems, below. :D

He's so much like the Wizard! However this video confuses me in that...why does she like die when they hold hands and flowers burst out? xD

I hope Ide unlocks the images from Colors, because I'm determined to make that guy my new all-around avatar. :>

I plan to be on for CW tonight, however I have a feeling it'll be emtpy and dry, especially since it's Valentine's Night.

A Little Bit of History

2009-02-10T08:26:00.004-06:00

So, I decided to take the time to dedicate a blog post to the history of my family.
I suppose for one, you wonder why my characters retain their last names, even though technically Almontri is their last name.

Well, for starters, no one in the family is blood-related. xD And the only ones who were, well one of them died. That was another scout, Yuki, and was cousin to Branivyn. However, she got deleted and the rest is history. :P
In the story I've been crafting for them since I started playing Sword, they're basically a bunch of friends together under one roof. (I've thought up an epic nice house in Auch for them to live in!)
I'll give you a little sketch about each character then. Not the UPCs though, since we already know about them. :P

Brister Devina
Is a mercenary, who sometimes works with Caly and Teiron at Pegadella.
He grew up in Bristia, parisipated in the Three Years War(*HINT*HINT*! Think, who else was in the Three Years War :D), and then headed off to Granado, albeit by the tides. If I talk too much more about him I won't have time for the others. xD

Teiron Vesco
Also a mercenary, is very level-headed. The way she joined the House was through Yuki and Branivyn who were in Coimbra for awhile, collecting cabosse for Lisa. As far as I know, she's a citizen of the New World. (ie, haven't figured out her past yet cept that her dad died. o_o)

Sullivan Black
The leader! She's the one who started the House of Almontri. Originally from Opoluto, she left when she was a young adult and headed for the New World. Named after her father, a semi-famous sea captain. Leaving behind her parents, and Marco, whom acted as Captain Black's assistant and then later became her adopted brother, was a tough choice for her, but she had to go see the New World.
Strong, confident in her goal and others, but not entirely in herself, she's yet to realize that the House owes everything to her.

Zander Escure
Now he has one of my favorite pasts<3
Born the son of an Illieran noble, Lord Cochrane Escure, he grew up with the finer things in life. His parents and more or less his bulter realized something unusual about him as he grew up. They realized he had an inherint nack for magic. So most of his life he went to exclusive magic schools, and didn't spend much time at home. Due to this lack of bonding time with his parents, they grew apart, and he eventually came to believe they didn't even care about him. They had anything but a nice farwell when he sailed off to the New World. He's changed alot from his former self though, no doubt thanks to Sullivan and Marceil. Logical, contemplating, and always searching for more magic-related knowledge.

Marceil Fiarreck
Born in the New World, her parents Joe and Donna were eager to plop down in Reboldeaux, as it was busiling at the time. Her father, a long time miner with an eye for things found a huge coal deposite ten miles east of the then new Stone Pit. However, before they could strike it rich, a noble murdered poor Joe and Donna, oblivious to the fact they now had a fifteen yearold daughter. She struggled and headed to Coimbra, where she helped out at the Sea Elephant Cafe, which is just where she eneded up meeting her long time friends, Zander and Sullivan. The jokester and medic of the family, she's goofy and silly as ever, in spite of her past.

Branivyn Alkin
Daughter of an important general of Vespanola, she came to have a love for magic under her mother. So, when she was eighteen she decided she wanted to see the New World. Amazingly, her parents let her go, the only escourt being her cousin Yuki. She has a special bond with Zander, as they are the only magic users in the family. She considers him a bit of a brother as he's always teaching and directing her in magical endevours. She also has a love for finery. Pretty dresses, elegent balls, and all that stuff.

Each of these characters reflect a part of my personality. Sullivan is the powerful, kind leader I hope I can one day be. Zander is the logical, highly educated and calm side of me. Marceil is the goofy, silly side. Brister is the tough, serious side that sometimes won't let go of something.
Teiron is the relaxed side who keeps things in check. Branivyn best reflects the part of me that is now gone. The part that I used to be when I was a little girl. Loving dress-up, tea parties, that stuff.

An off topicy side note to Lune and Ide and their comments on my last post- NO. He can't join Telos...D: (not exactly...he's a fine silly guy and all but I don't want my brother in my clan :|) And he is the one who inspired my gaming and online life. He's the one who started sGE, then I followed, we lost interest in that, and then later I rekindled my love for this game and asked him to look into Sword.

Hadoukens, Otite and Stuff

2009-02-08T13:19:00.003-06:00

Well, the last few days have been interesting. I've been having bouts of demotivation, followed by bursts of inspiration. Recently I was soloing with Deirdre, and she's resting at 55 for the time being.
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Battlesmith.jpg

On Saturday I had a great time farming Pure Otites - Yes, it's possible. I did actually have fun.
And made my first 92 Elite - The awesome red pulsating Castor Wing! Later that day I watched the end of Avatar. I'm rather sad it ended, now I have nothing to watch! I got on for Colony Wars, pumped and ready for some fighting and fun. However, the only fun or fighting that happened was Kyral attempting to hadouken Sulli with Vincent's Tornado Holding.

Today has been alright. I farmed some more otite, and got seven. I don't really know why I am though, I'm holding out on the market to have a good Beam-Gun I can snatch up.
I later had the honor of trying on the only Wizard Elite Le Rouge in all of Orpesia. :]
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/EliteLeRouge.jpg
I absolutely love how Zander looks in Le Rouge. I'll seriously have to get one someday for him.

I'm getting excited about the new computer coming. It's not mine, but my brother's. And it's not new, it's his friend's old one. But it's still exciting! Because now I'll have one less person to fight with about the compy. :P However, my only fear is that he'll be able to come on Granado and bug me...or worse, join Telos.

Not much else to report, so I'll see you all tomorrow.

February!

2009-02-04T08:11:00.002-06:00

So it's here. The month of shortness, the useless holiday, and the Super Bowl.
Hooray for the Steelers, they won! xD
There weren't too many good commercials, sadly. The Doritos were the best, secondly the bugs teaming up for the coke. Jennifer Hudson sung the anthem very well, I liked how she gave it something of an edge.

I'm nearing the end of Avatar, and I forgot how much I loved the show. Makes me wonder how M. Night Shyamalan's possible live-action movie will be.

Last night I watched one of my favorite series, Fringe. And there were two characters in it that made me freak out. Because of their names. Ernesto and Gavin. o______________o

But hey, if anyone can make game characters come alive, it's Walter! 8D
(I kid, I kid, of course. The one looked nothing like Gavin and Ernesto was never seen)

Not too much has been happening in the world of Granado, just been training people. I can't seem to powerlevel Grace too well, so I'll leave her to level with Mika, Idge or Deirdre.
My musketeers are chugging along, Teiron's almost 50. Caly and Lisa are alllllllllmost to 48. It's killing me, I want Corte already. x_x

Not too much more to report, other then I plan to join in on Colony Wars this Saturday. I wonder if we'll see some action.

Fun Times

2009-01-30T11:30:00.005-06:00

This shall be a short post. I think. Just sending a few thoughts out during my lunch break(...which..hasn't started yet.)
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/costume%20screens/capture_01272copy.jpg
So, I've got another person to add to my List Of Awesome Persons. Lunesca. She gave me Battlesmith Idge! :D She's very enjoyable to solo, but just like Sulli, has sooo many stances I can only hope to max them. My normal armorsmith is slowly and steadily chugging along on her way to Veteran. She's now 56. Thanks to Ash's post about her hidden little side quest, I've got some work to do leveling her to 60! Kimi, who as of late has been a big help in leveling, is working on powerleveling her Lisa. Mine is STILL 35. I seriously need to give her some love...Hell, I've got Brister and Caly left in the dust too. Let's just say if I don't post for awhile it's cause those three are...having a nice little 'talk' with me.

Currently, my goal is to get all my noobs to level 60. They've got a long way to go.
Grace - 52
Brister - 24
Lisa - 35
Caly - 40
Kaji - 25
Vince - 24
Cath - 31
Sharif - 47
Bran - 46
Teiron - 46
Are my priorities. Lorch, Karj, and Idge are close enough I don't have to worry too much about them. Eduardo and Romina have already taken advantage of the fact that I never used my level 60 polishes, and thus collected 100+. XD There will be guns, swords, bracelets and armor glaore for them!

Oh how I wish school would end. Alas, I have many more months of it. Once summer comes, you can expect me to churn out lots of Veterans. ;) That however might be too opitmistic of me...

So as my characters chug along to Veteran, dying along the way, I chug along to the end of school, crying on the way.

(Also, A Big Super Duper Uber Happy Birthday to Mis!)

Quite Grand, These Last Three Days Were

2009-01-26T08:02:00.003-06:00

As some of you may have known from my talking in clan chat last Friday and Thursday, I went to some classes at Discovery World. The first one was an introduction to chemistry. The teacher talked of the ph scale, and Periodic Table. We got to experiment with acids and bases, did a pink and blue litmus test, and then had a one of a kind ending to the class.
The teacher showed us some pure calcium balls. He then put them into a flask of water. They made it heat up and fizz, and it started letting off smoke. He then captured some of the smoke in a baloon.
That baloon he taped on the end of a yard stick. Another yard stick had a little candle secured to the end. He held out the two sticks and slowly brought the baloon closer to the flame. And then he was close enough. The baloon popped into a fantasic fireball that vanished as soon as it appeared. Pieces of scorched baloon had landed here and there. And then twenty seconds later, the fire alarm went off. The teacher was surprised, as he had done this many times and hadn't had the fire alarm go off. He just said to leave our goggles and gloves on and go outside. I was highly amused at the possiblity of danger that was nought.

Onto Saturday, I woke up with a mission. That mission: To find Eduardo Jameson! So I bought that Wheel of Destiny Pack and I stocked up on potions and made an ancestral coat. Then I was off to the Deserted Quay. Using one of the many otite perfumes, I entered Los Toldos. I was very amused to see Carlos there. And Dead-shot Johnny. I wondered what would happen if you brought Diego along. So I went to Kurt and was soon killing Muertos and cursed undead. I was highly annoyed to find that once again the damn Viscount Montoro was tied in with happenings in the Land of the Dead. And of course, Sir Lyndon was there as well. I was quite mad at Kurt when he made me make ten pure otites, of which I need for my Elite Castor Shield. But, hating Kurt as I always have I quickly got through it and continued the intriuging questline. I finally did get Eduardo. I was surprised he had a cape, and didn't retain it when you made him. I do so like the Sad Old Man. Since he's the same model as nifty Deon the Smith in Reboldeaux. But, I do owe Kurt this. He gave me about twenty Veteran Polish, so now I have a total of thirty-three.
And I had 22 100k 90 exp cards. xD

Sunday, wasn't as grand as the others. I didn't have to get up early or die farming LoD, granted.
I got Marceil to 99 with the help of one of my many AA passes and Kimi. I also had a success selling some AM Boosts, which were priced at 314,159V. And Soul Crystals, and that +5 General Laquer I shouldn't have bought. xD I traded Kumi a mercenary warrent for his Morgenstern<3!
The Star of Death is so wonderful<3 A funny thing happened when I chiped it. It had 10 Critical and 28 Fire Damage, I rechipped and traded the fire for 16ATK, retaining the ten critical. I'll wait till I can get an Enchantment Booster before I try again. I watched NBC's The Last Templar that night, and I hate that announcer guy so much. He kept saying "Come watch The Last Templer"
....Its an A. Not an E. LEARN HOW TO PRONOUCE.

I'd like to send a hearty congradulations to Mis, who got her first Expert! And to Shride who recently Experted Kurt! And to Wyrm for, apparently, getting his other Claude to 100% Veteran, but couldn't find a scroll. Also a congradulations to Ide for getting her Elite Sabre di Gavi! :]

Also I'd like to wish those who celebrate it, a Happy Chinese New Year!

Discovery World, Lost, and the Weekend

2009-01-22T08:08:00.009-06:00

So, come tomorrow I'll be off to Discovery World at Pier Wisconsin. I'll be taking a chemistry and radiocontrol class. Should be fun, I've been there once before. But frankly, I hate the fact I'll have to get up early. D:

Lost last night was CRAZY. And entertaining, of course. The Island is moving around in time! Gah!
What is going to happennn.

Also yesterday I got Astell an Expert Scroll, and now Mia's ready for Raipere. :D I also got some fesos, and bought Zander the Chapeau de Blanc! <3 (stupid confusing thing won't let me post an image, apparently <_<) He also got promoted to Veteran, since K2 FINALLY gave out the wings and scrolls. I found some cheapo Mega Aidaniums, and thus got Anathema. It's really fun! The new animations and skills are nifty. THE SOUNDS ARE SO DAMN AWESOME. I made him a Veteran Ancestral Staff, and now he has 56 Attack Rate. Epic, right? According to Mis, getting a wizard to expert...well...let's say getting an Ele to expert is a piece of cake compaired to that. D: This is horrible since I plan to expert my original three. But, I'll probably never get there anyway. xD

It's really killing me, leveling my scout. I really shouldn't have left her behind. x_x If I can't handle the last two levels til Veteran...God help me if I attempt Expert. So, my ticket went through and I got my six mystery boxes. What dropped is as follows:
Seven Otite Perfumes
Twenty AM Boosts
Twenty Soul Crystals
Twenty Triumph Fillers
Ten Veteran Polishes. The only good thing that dropped. I can't remember the rest.

Another thing that's killing me: The Weekend. IS NOT HERE YET. ;-; I want to go to Los Toldos alreaddyy. Eduardo I'm cominnnggg. x_x Then you can meet your brother, who, for some reason(he MUST'VE had his mind poisoned by Montoro and joined the D`Arwyn family for some demented reason) But your financee, well...who knows where the hell she is. >_>; But don't worry! We'll find them together! :D

So, just as some finish, or just about reach that glorious promotion, others embark on the very same journey, filled with hope, bound to be crushed.

Greetings! (My first post)

2009-01-20T08:14:00.005-06:00

Welcome,
This be my blog. :D
So...this is gonna be kinda weird, writing stuff and having...other people..read it. The only time someone reads something I wrote is if it's a school paper. o_o At anyrate, I should get down to the business of telling you about myself. I live in the crappy port town named for Washington(Oh what an awesome president he was! Why don't we have more like him) in Wisconsin. Which is a crappy state. I really wish I lived somewhere more...interesting. I'm learning Latin! Yes, I want to learn the 'dead' language. And I wanna learn Japanese. Then German, Italian maybe Korean. XD
I'm REALLY into gaming. And I owe it all to my brother. If it weren't for him playing RO, and then me sneeking onto the server he was on, I don't know if I'd be here today shooting Tomahawks or exploring the New World, Granado Espada, with you. :3 So, the games I play on my beloved, although crappy, compy, are: Albatross18 and Sword of the New World. <-- Lame name. I really don't think Granado said that. But let me make a list of the of the games I <33>:D
Halo Series - I loveeeeeeeeeeee this! The storyline and weapons are some of the most awesome I've seen. Props to Eric Nylund for writing awesome books.
Half Life Series - Is really cool. I WANT EPISODE THREE. ;_;
Portal - The Cake isn't a lie. It does exist.
Audiosurf - Awesome game on Steam where you can ride your music! It creates a track out of the song and lets you ride on it. :D

Okay, I've got games covered. Onto books!

The Chronoclies of Amber, by Roger Zelazny. I read it like a year ago, but to this day I love it.
(PSST IDE DID YOU BUY IT YET?!)
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, by Sir Arthur Connan Doyle. Woohoo! I love this series! He is sooo clever. :D
Halo Books by Eric Nylund were already mentioned, but I'm gonna mention them again cause they're awesome!
George Alfred Henty, is one of my favorite writers. Yesterday I finished reading his Beric The Briton, about the Roman invasion of Britain. He writes historical fiction which I quite enjoy(but then I enjoy fiction. period.)
I shall keep you updated on the books I'm reading!

Now for movies. Maybe this is going to take too long. But...I don't care!

Ironman
The Spirit
The Lord of The Rings Triology
Star Wars Saga
Spaceballs
Pirates of The Carribean Triology
The Hitchhiker's Guide to The Galaxy
Transformers (Did you know Prime was voiced by the same guy who voiced Eeyore?)
The Incredible Hulk(the recent 2008 remake)

As you can see, I <3 comic book movies. Now to TV shows!
NCIS
24
Bones
NUMB3RS
House
Fringe
