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!

Another Sporatic Update!
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
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.

Dear Weather
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
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
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.

Hey look its two months later
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.
Aaaand I have the SAT and ACT coming up. OH JOY.
not. >:I
