Viruna please
I haven’t really played FFXI in the past near-weak because I’ve been sick. Not in my usual “sick of your BULLCRAP” sense (though there has been a lil bit of that too) but I mean physically ill. As in the “fever as high as some people’s egos that leaves you in a quasi-delusional state between being awake and asleep that makes you unable to properly distinguish between dreams and realities and at least a little irritable” kind of sickness. Okay, okay, so it’s just a cold, but it’s a cold that’s seriously kicking my ass. Lots of sleeping leaves me wide awake at really awkward times. Kind of like right now. I’m over the brunt of it by now, thus being able to write, but I still have a persistant cough (how much time must pass before that becomes a chronic cough?) and a voice that sounds like a poor Elmer Fudd impression.
I’ve put myself on an all-soup diet to help fight it, so that’s at least one good thing.
In the midst of not being able to concentrate, I got the following done:
COR is up to 34. I still haven’t had a party off of Qufim island since 20 and, since shooting really sucks under level 30, I have many many stacks of bullets not being used. I’m beginning to wonder if the stack of 12 bullet pouches is going to last me all the way to 50, or maybe even beyond.
Val helped me get the rest of the obis I need for BLM. Considering the huge number of organs I needed for these two, we got it all done at a relatively face pace. I also found out I can solo a shark on DNC pretty easily; not much shock, but still nice to actually do it.
I figured this was enough of a boost to BLM to put another merit into DNC’s No Foot Rise, bringing it up to level 2. That’s such an awesome ability.
300+ Moblin Marbles at the moment. When I do marble farming, I get a lot done in a hurry.
Saw this on my friend’s list. Unknown location? That’s a new one.
W left the linkshell yesterday, or so he claims. I’m not entirely sure because I think he’s said he’s left like three or four times before, but I’m hopeful. Much like S leaving a while ago, this one is a bit of a cause for celebration. Having less competition for BLU and DNC dynamis drops is a silver lining on a cloud already made entirely of gold.
Cibele left the server entirely yesterday for Fairy, and did so on a rather poor note, having been feuding with another friend of mine. I tried to get involved to settle things but that turned out to be a terrible idea. Apparently there was some invisible deep-seeded hatreds going on there, the same sort that surrounded the destruction of the SX linkshell so long ago and just kind of sprang up out of the blue, at least to me. And there two were both part of that LS. Coincidence? Or maybe residual effects from that LS over a year later? I have no idea what I’m even talking about anymore.
Regardless of not being in the same LS together for most of a year, we’ve kept in contact, and will hopefully still do so. But it’s a lil sad knowing that we’ll never go on any wacky adventures again. Cib, I’ll keep a spot at the pole warm for you.
There’s been a lot of weird drama going on with people I know lately, far beyond the few things I‘ve hinted at here. I’m starting to wonder if it’s just that time of the year. Some of the stuff that I got (inadvertently) involved in was just so strange that I was almost willing to write it off as a product of illness-based delusions. But my past self, apparently having the same sort of thought, took screenshots of it all, and so there it is. Either I’ve become a really good screenshot editor in my sleep or it actually happened. And no, you can’t see the screenshots this time around. This is actual drama involving people I like, not stupid fooligans doing stupid stuff. Sigh. It really has been one thing after another lately. Why can't we all just get along?
Kisa helped me pick out this slightly emo-ish song that pretty much sums up my feelings at the moment.
I’m going to take another stab at getting a night’s rest now. Lord knows it would do me good.
