Another day in paradise

Damn, its been awhile since my last blog. Oh well, I'm sure all you weirdos who are reading about my life right now will get over it. And for those creepy stalkers out there...meh. Whatever. Anyways...

FFXII has been goin great lately. Just spent about 2 hours or so last night training my main three characters to lvl 60, so that I may fight Gilgamesh. Today, after work, I plan on training my backups to lvl 60 as well. Shouldnt take too long with that embroidered tippets or whatever they're called. The 2x experience accessories. You know...if you dont, then your a noob. Its alright, I forgive you. Also last night, I made about 150k gil. I feel pretty good about that since i was only farming for guys that needed to make like 7 lvls or so. My backups need to make at least 15 lvls, so i should get lots of cash from that. ^.^ Also this way, I can buy that stupid urn that has been sitting in my bazaar forever. Yeah, thats right Roddra, I havent bought it yet. Which makes it funny how i got to 1,000,000 gil spent before you. That should have helped you out a lot more. Oh well. I'll buy it later today after I train.

Hmm, as for marks, got almost all of them done now. Roddra and I FINALLY found a way into those tunnels in order to kill Bloodwing. So I decided to punch him to death as punishment. Roddra thought a quicker death was a little more appropriate, but to each his own, right? The only mark right now is I need to go finish off Gilgamesh. After much discussion, Roddra and I finally found out where that bastard is hiding, so once i finish training I'll just go own him I guess.

Well, off to work. Meh. Another day another dollar I guess, right? God, not even that makes me feel better about going to work. I dont get paid for another week. ;.;

Parlez-vous francais?

The aftermath of my four years of taking french class in high school was bleak. Besides the fact that I could occassionly partake in an intelligent french conversation with a friend from my french class, I really couldnt practice it anywhere. Right now, taking a french class in college would be more of a burden than fun for me, seeing that I need to focus more on my major at the moment. However, the longer I wait to practice, the harder it will start getting for me. But somehow, unknowing to me, my dad has come through for me. Yeah I know...kind of random, huh?

While exploring forums of some sort, my dad made this friend online. Shes this 18 year old girl who lives in Canada. Now before any of you jump to any sort of conclusions, my dad might be getting this surgery and he was lookin up forums online and this chic apparently had this same surgery. What surgery, I have yet to know, but for my sake I would prefer not to know. The less I know of the medical stuff my family goes through, the less I have to worry about them being alright and whatnot. I prefer to know the bare minimum. Back to the point...

After talking with my dad for a couple weeks, he mentioned to her that I too spoke french. Apparently he gave her my myspace info and said that if she wanted someone to practice with she could contact me. Well, shortly after talking to him about it, she sends me a message on myspace, and thus a pen pal friendship occurs. I've only been talkin to her for a few days now, but already I can feel my writing skills getting better. I cant necessarily practice actual speaking of french, but I'm at least able to practice writing/reading french, which is supposedly the hardest part of any language. Who knows, I might run by my high school and see if I can borrow a couple french books from my french teacher to work on reading and whatnot. Or even order my own. Still, one day I'd like to be fluent, and possibly visit some part of France. Until then, I'll keep practicin mon francais ^.^

With every good there comes a bad

Well, after numerous hours of searching, and pulling out my hair, i finally found that bastard carrot. And on top of that, the stupid carrot almost kicked my ass...but alas, I prevailed. Felt good to finally accomplish that. However, with every good event follows a bad one.

Now, for the life of me and Roddra, we cannot find a way into the stupid Burheim tunnels, or mines, or whatever they are. I'm too upset to look at my map again. Fucking Bloodwing is just gonna have to sit there and not die for awhile I guess, because I give up. I've searched every last possibility, as has Roddra. We are flat out stumped. The only thing we can think of is that somewhere, later on in the story line, we will end up down there. But until then...FUCK YOU BLOODWING!

Never underestimate your opponent

Im sure everyones had a moment where they were challenged by someone in something, and completely underestimated the competition. Well, one of those nights happened to me tonight. Its been awhile since I dusted off the old Dance Dance Revolution pads and played against someone. Recently I had discovered that my neighbor in the dorms plays DDR. Naturally I gloat a little about my skill, so he offers a friendly challenge so that I may prove myself. Of course, I couldnt deny my ego a chance to show off so I accepted. Mistake >.>

After a rough few warm up rounds, the competition began. Now seeing that I havent played in awhile, I was proud of how little skill I actually lost. However, even that was not enough. This guy was good. And I mean very good. Gave me a run for my money every round. Some songs I killed him on. I had to bust out my secret weapon of the song Butterfly in order to regain a lead against him, but they were close runs all in all. Was nice to have someone actually give you a challenge at a game. Thats why you never let your guard down.

Whats up, doc?

Fucking Carrot. Nothing quite like waking up in the morning, trying to play a little FFXII, and not being able to find a stupid mark that you are trying to get. I mean come on, I know that carrot bastard is in that area, because the chic from the clan is there to help me. Why can't he just come out and die? I'll try and make it as quick and painless as possible. Bastard carrot...

Alas, time for another long hard day at work. I'll be back later. hopefully then I can kill that fucking carrot. If not, I might just have to go farm skellies in order to get some cash. Hmm, cash is gud ^.^

Noob!

Ok, so I must admit, with all the time I spend on the internet and all the forums/myspace things I have done, I have yet to ever create a blog. So, this is my first. Should be fun, right? Meh, probably not. Anyways...Umm, yeah. Dunno what should be in the first post of a blog. Guess i could kind of explain my page a little. The picture was made by Roddra, not because I couldnt do it, but because I just didnt feel like it. Also because i was talking to him on Yahoo voice chat when we were doing it, and he had to crank his volume up loud in order to hear me. So when he had an error, it made an incredibly loud noise. Louder than Kiska even.

As for both my profiles, Chirap and Farmer Jim have been my alter egos for many years now. I believe I came up with Chirap either when i started playing Everquest, or when I was playing Dark Age of Camelot, but the persona has stuck with me since. As for Farmer Jim, that persona came to me while playing a mod for Half-life. Long story short, Farmer Jim was born and has become my persona for any game besides RPG.

The links on the right side of my page start out with my myspace page. If you have a myspace and want to be my friend then just invite me and I'll probably accept you. Unless you are Kiska...in which case you are too nooby to be a friend of mine on myspace. Next on the list is Pure Pwnage. Awesome show. If you havent seen it, then you should give it a shot. If at first you are like "wtf?!", then at least watch the first 5 episodes. If by that time you still dont like it, then give up. Your a noob. J/k, but oh well. The last few links are all webcomics that I read. They are only in that order, cuz thats the order I read them in. Besides that, no particular order.

Well, guess thats enough for today. If you dont like my Blog, then blame Roddra. He made me make it. I guess you can also blame Maikeru, cuz he made Roddra make one, who in turn made me make one. Well, Happy Hunting to everyone. WOOSH!
