Better part of a month catchup post.

When we last left Our Protagonist, she had just expressed extreme frustration over work schedule indecisiveness.

Since then...

* The schedule has stabilized and we do, in fact, have more time for the Big Project. This also means that I will be able to go up and visit capfox in October! We've been promising a visit for a while so it's good to finally

The Arashi folk (including me, Stormhawk, Nonana, Selece, etc.) are on Gysahl; none of us had serious problems getting on but there have been reports that it has been closed for brief periods.

I'd promised folks I'd head for Mysidia first, otherwise I would have come and joined you. I'm almost tempted to start a second character just for a different experience, but I think I'll wait a bit before doing that.

I have my fingers crossed that people aren't going to move off Mysidia, or I'm gonna be in a sticky situation getting my high school friend moving with me. :<

Got in this evening, so hopefully you'll be able to as well!

I'm almost done with Layton and the Unwound Future if you find you want to discuss it.

Don't have it yet, and probably won't get to it for a bit. I'm just now getting around to finishing the challenge puzzles for Diabolical Box, actually. ^^;

I know what you mean about the random parties, tho I still will drag ya into one if yer on and it's a good party (no unnecessary deaths, plenty of time chests, etc)

And yeah, I'm not even installing FF14 right now. My computer can't handle it without a major upgrade (which I'm saving for since I got a major crash taht I recovered from, which makes me think my computer is getting ready to die.)

But I am not going for another mmo until I quit FFXI.

Whitegate shout alliance. I'm sure there are good ones, but my tolerance is very low these days. ^^;

Me, I just do what I always do Cy. Find something to do, (GBA game, or crafting) and seek with a good search comment up.

It can take me hours to get a bite but I usually do get a bite. I've had basically 9/10 decent ones that way. (The one really awful one, we didn't get ONE time chest. Not one.)

As Klaital can tell you; I'm not above dragging friends into a decent one. And "decent" for me for aby is we're getting a lot of xp and time chests, and few people go down. (The one today that I got 83 smn today in was kinda eeeeh ok; the dratted things kept ga'ing the foo out of us and people would die. I only went down once but that was my stupidity; I tried to Odin ONE too many mobs. xD...I wouldn't of subjected you to that.)

Oh trust me, I know. I always have my DS or my book on standby. It's just frustrating that, since I only have a limited amount of time in which to play, I can't go right out and say "I'm going to xp tonight!" and then have it reliably happen (outside of the Thursday night group). I think from now on I'm just going to go ahead and use my time to work on quests and Campaign and such with my flag up, and if I get a decent-sounding invite, there I go. I don't have hours to just sit around and wait.
