Time to procrastinate more~
Since procrastinating, while you have to make a presentation that has to last an hour is the best idea, I decided to finally do this meme.
You know how sometimes people on your friendslist post about stuff going on in their life, and all of a sudden you think "Wait a minute? Since when were they working THERE? Since when were they dating HIM/HER? Since when???" And then you wonder how you could have missed all that seemingly pretty standard information, but somehow you feel too ashamed to ask for clarification because it seems like info you should already know? It happens to all of us sometimes.
Please copy the topics below, erase my answers and put yours in their place, and then post it in your journal! Please elaborate on the questions that would benefit from elaboration. One-Word-Answers seldom help anyone out.
1. FIRST NAME:
Barbara, most people call me Babs or Babsie though.
2. AGE:
I’m 20.
3. LOCATION:
Etten-Leur, The Netherlands.
4. OCCUPATION:
I have I suppose in a way two jobs now. I work at a notary office for half a year for my internship and after this period it’s back to full time college for me. Further during the weekends I work in retail, in particular a music/game store.
5. PARTNER?:
I’ve been going steady with my boyfriend for two years now. Still not really in a hurry to start living together or something, as we both first want to finish school and who knows how our relationship will be in 4 years or more. So we’re just taking it easy.
6. KIDS:
I have none and I’m not planning on having any soon either.
7. BROTHERS/SISTERS:
I’m an only child.
8. PETS:
Ceasar, my Siamese cat. Parents bought him for me because they both had jobs and wanted me to at least have an animal to talk to. Here he fell asleep on something of my mom, can’t quite make out what it is but is sure is horribly pink.
9. LIST THE 3-5 BIGGEST THINGS GOING ON IN YOUR LIFE:
a) Internship keeps eating my brain. In particular that final presentation I have to hold next week, which apparently has to be 30 minutes to an hour long. So this is making me stress and procrastinate even more then normal. After that it’s just one more week and then my internship is over. So I might actually have some free time for myself again.
b) Following up on internship, I’m working really hard to get allowed into the law course at my school. Perhaps even to the university for the last 2 years, so I could possibly start working on becoming a mediator or juridical advisor. I’ve seen to many people and family members get screwed over and want to help people in the same situations.
c) Shin Megami Tensei Imagine Online. I never expected to get back into this game and as addicted as I am now. I enjoy puzzling around with builds, preparing soul stone and tarot plans for people. I love the community and met a lot of awesome people. It has it’s occasional drama and more then enough village idiots, but which game/community does not have those.
d) Finding a possible new house. After we got bought out of our old house, dad doesn’t seem to be as happy in the new one, so we keep searching for something better and fitting into our financial plan.
10. PARENTS:
My father has a severe back condition. He’s in his fifties, but has the back from a man in his eighties. Due to the health care system here failing to see anything wrong with his back. Later on they did notice something wrong, but it was far too late to do an operation, unless you like huge chances of cutting the wrong nerves and stuff. Besides this my father is healthy and was the one who took care of me, as he was at home (he got fired because of his back condition) and my mom was working. Right now he has a job again and quite happy.
My mother has always been the person working to keep us all financial in order during the time my dad was not allowed to work. She still works now, but only 4 days in the week. Mom can be horribly worried about the stupidest stuff and we often have fights about the stupidest stuff. Especially after we got bought out of our old house. Now nearly a year later everything is finally getting better again. Mom’s working really hard to stay as healthy as she is now, which I fully support her in.
11. WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS?:
zaphronnayru is my closest friend in real life. I’ve known her for more then 14 years now and she’s always been there for me. Chibitt is a great friend as well, but she left LJ, right now she’s finishing up her internship in Spain. And I like to think most people on my flist are pretty good friends <3
And because I’m procrastinating anyway, some more sleep deprived rambling.
Fun with Act 16, disagreeing with Uriel leads to him comparing you with the devil. Not entirely true but I like exaggerating Another fun fact, apparently there is no Lucifer in the Imagine verse, or at least not yet. (Does this conflict with the SMT 1 timeline? I don’t remember Luce dying in SMT1, but my memory of the first game is quite foggy so *shrugs*)
Suginami Tunnels Unknown is a badly done boss rush (you do not start the timer and then give you a Nekomata who tells you what’s going on, while the timer keeps ticking, especially with how expensive the damn plate is). Aquans promptly froze me to dead in the third room, I’ll get back to him one of these days.
More fun was had with Rieka , she’s now a level 28 fail synthesist and I don’t think I ever laughed as hard about the stupid percentages in this game as I did yesterday. Remember that fusion that failed at 96%. I had one chance of crystallizing my nimble Cerberus, a great 5%. It worked. Synthing is also a great way to get Carpal’s Tunnel. After one hour of grinding tarot fusions I got 30 points into my occultism expertise and my entire arm was cramping up. Not looking forward to grinding that final class. The thought of having to grind demonology afterwards actually sounds appealing by now XD (grinding by tarot fusion is the only way that is affordable, I have a 32% chance right now on non-ap items, a fail gives me 0.02 points and a success something along the 0.10 - 0.20 points, summarized: it takes forever).
I want to bet that something will go wrong with the implementation of Celu Gold. We will see, but up to this point every update patch caused some kind of bug. Celu Gold was broken when it was first implemented in Japan. Let’s see if CAVE was smart enough to give the corrected patch to Aeria. fat chance CAVE thought about that though XD
For all the people interested in a Gospel (that fancy shield Power holds, it’s a back equip, like wings are), I’m running redundant amounts of New Moon Catacombs (need Moon tarots D:), so if you ever want to tag along, feel free to PM me, who knows we might get lucky. Often we run normal catacombs after new moon, for the treasure room spawns and because sun tarots drop there (great for gunners and since the person I duo a lot with is a gunner). Also still running redundant amounts of Zhe Que caverns as well, after a crazy amount of runs, we still have not met the fire bird, so yay -_- If anyone’s interested in the plug-in feel free to join up as well.
And finally recruiting for a tri-fusion. When I’m level 59 I want to make a Hecate. I’ll take care of the hardest part the Quetzalcoatl, one of my clannies will take care of Yaksini, which means I am in need of an Artemis. All you need to do is supply the demon for me. I will take care of cups and melons for quick friendship leveling, the magnetite cost will also be taken care of by me. If you need help catching even that will then be taken care of (or we run that Babel hack run and one person receives all 3 demon data thingies, in that case I will take care of IC chips).
Back to working on that stinking presentation. I really hate these type of monologue’s, why can’t we just have a conversation about what I did the last half year, instead of me rambling of about something that I already typed in my report, my report that’s 46 pages filled with detailed descriptions
