Here's my semi-monthly rants and raves! ^_^ ~ Enjoy
-RDM75/WHM37/BLM37/DRK37/NIN33
-CoP: Completed; Rajas Ring!!
-Limbus LS Defeated Omega on first try. Taking down Ultima next Sunday.
-TAU: BLU32, PUP:X, COR:X; Assault: Lazy; TAU EXP = KRT MNK Party EXP = It's fast, fun, and everyone's invited. ^_^
-WAR/NIN is gonna be my next main job. Just something about demolishing things with any weapon of choice seems like a good enough reason.
-July Update ~ Chocobo Raising (Super Rare Black Choco, that's the one I want ^_^); New TAU Improvements. Can't wait to see what else! New Spells?

-Photoshop Designs ~ http://img58.imageshack.us/my.php?image=sinsdesktop0ga.jpg

It's been about a month since I've done this and I figured it's about that time for an updated view at what's rockin' in my life:
--Baseball started; we're 4-0 so far.
--Red Mage dinged 75.
--Gained two sword merits thus far.
--Beat Promivion Mission 6-4 ~ AKA. The Airship One (Mammets, Omega, and Ultima)
--NPC Raka dinged 54.
--Two weeks until TAU comes out. ^_^ Blue Mage ~ {Can I Have It?} Besieged, Assault, {All Right!}
--Still in the hunt for a Joyeuse, Xcalibur, or the much less expensive/rare sword the Mighty Talwar (Highest DMG Sword for RDM that can be bought via AH).
--Still biting the bullet on my Wise Gear. -2.0M and counting. Depreciation sucks.
--Hedgehog Bomb, Vivian Ring, Rajas Ring, Loquacious Earring, Zenith, AF2 ~ /drool
--So much to do, so little time, TAU release snuck up on me like a bat out of hell. Both a good and a bad thing in two different senses.
--Chocobo Raising/Racing(/Calling?); that'll be fun. ^_^ I'll make mine fast, no doubt.
That's about the nutshell on my life and current thoughts and ponderings. Have a great day!~Cya

Lots to say. Mainly XI, although Baseball did start up this week, and I decided not to do both baseball and track. Maybe next year...

San D'Oria lead conquest this week! I bought my Kingdom Aketon and Sandy Signet Staff. Time to switch to Windurst Allegiance. My Sword reached 240 and I recieved my Sapara of Trials. I delevled my BLM to 36 doing a BCNM where the other BLM ES + Sleep the wrong mob causing us to wipe. 30 Seals and 1.5 Hours of my time down the drain. (500 TNL)

I joined my first King Ranpere's Tomb party the other day with 3 MNKS, WHM, RDM and BRD. I had roughly 10k/hr before my connection dropped and I was d/ced and unable to log back on for a while. Red Mage reached a little over 50% into lvl 73.

Raka reached lvl 53 while leveling her in Labyrinth of Onzozo and shortly after she leveled I got disconnected from the server. I was thinking about logging off for the night, but decided to log back. I get on, and I'm lost. No map and I forget which way I came from. I start walking around and find two people walking from what I assumed was teh entrance. By then I realized where I was and decided to check on Mysticmaker Profblix before leaving. He was sitting in the room all by him self. At first, I thought the two people in front of me we're going to claim, but they went off in another direction. I claim, fight, and kill him. Very fun fight as a RDM/DRK with Vorpal Blade WS. He falls and the items dropped scrolls down the screen. I see Moldavite Earring and become extremely happy (1/1 on him ^_^). I test my new earring on some mobs before heading out to Sandy. Adds roughly 5% DMG. I get back to Sandy and complete half of the new TAU Missionary Quest before heading to bed. GREAT DAY! ^_^

Been a while since I've updated. Lots has been going on. School started, it's boring. Ran the 20-yard dash in Advanced Physical Fitness, broke the record ^_^. Might go out for track this year, I'd probably end up getting a dual enrollment in both Baseball and Track during the same season. Lots of work but I can see myself doing well in both track and baseball. Besides that, nothing much else has happened.

FFXI Banter:
Mashed Maat, leveled to 71, got slaughtered in Dynamis SanD'oria, and am about halfway done with Chains of Promathia Missions. That's all, not very exciting -_-;'. Talk to you later!~Cya

Ahhh, well Christmas came, saw, and conquered and left me wanting more. I ended up getting a slew of gifts including an iPod Video!!! I uploaded some Naruto and GetBackers on there so I can watch more now, like when I'm lying in bed before going to sleep. ^_^. Well, it came and went and my days continued like usual. Played Texas Hold'em with some of my friends who are in college last night, and I ended up taking second. Won my money back ($10). Not much happening this Holiday Break. Going over to a friends house for New Years, and we'll play Texas Hold'em again. So...fun times! ^_^. That's pretty much it for me, see ya around~!

All right! It has been a while. >_>. Well, it snowed today/still is snowing and I got out of school a little bit early. Its gonna snow through the night tonight so I probably won't have school tomorrow either. Maybe I can get lucky and not have school on Friday too. O_O;'...One can hope.

FFXI: Got WHM to 28 ^_^. Bought Erase for 600k >_<;'. Got RDM to 68 and then found out that RDM couldn't equip the Blue Cape (+30 MP in a nutshell). So now I'm searching for a good cape to get and all the good ones are rather expensive. Have yet to start Goldsmithing but my crystal collection is quite large. Might have to start that within the week. Got Raka to 47, and I recieved a Tactics Pearl (4/4 NPC Charges; Recharge every conquest update.) Completed ZM4 as well as made it to chapter 4 in CoP. Gotta fight Ouryu next. >_< BIG DRAGON, might actually fight him tonight. ^_^ Wish me luck.

Other: Finished watching FFVI: Advent Children! WOWOWOWOW! Awesome movie. Now I want to play FFVI along with all the others I haven't played. I've only played I,II,X,XI...Sad...I know...but PS2 is broken and can't read discs, so all I can do is play XI from my HDD. Watched a few more Naruto videos, great anime! I can't get enough of it.

Haven't seen Methyr on XI in a while, heard she has about a week left until semester ends. Can't wait until she gets on. We still need to get those Hornetneedles. ^_^ Christmas Present? Can I have it? I also need to get to 75. Motivation Do you need it? You can have this. Joyeuse...That sword is amazing, especially with En~spells and a Kraken Club. I'd like to have both someday.

That's all for here! See you again!
Cya!~Dark

Woooo! Lots happened. San D'oria Rank 10! White Mage ~ 21! Completed a slew of Fellowship NPC Quests. Finished watching FFVI: Advent Children. Great movie. Watched a number of Naruto episodes as well. Can't wait for FFXI updates including TAU. New Jobs! As in, more than one! New Avatars too! 'I live for this.' Lot's happening, I want to finish CoP and ZM before anything more is added, or else it could be overwhelming. I'm excited!
Cya!~

All Right! ^_^ It's been a while. First things first. My football team won Districts last Friday and tomorrow we are playing in the State Quarter Final round against a team we beat in the second week of our season. They have improved alot, but so have we, it should be a good game. School's going good too. Made 7 'A's and 1 'A-' on mid semester grades. ^_^ Made the A- in Newspaper class...Should have an 'A' hands down...long story. It's back in one of my other posts.

As for my other life. Haven't watched Naruto or Get Backers in a LONG time, and still haven't finished watching FFVII: Advent Children. I should probably watch them soon. I bought Battlefield: II for the Xbox and played that on and off for the past few weeks. Great game! I love it. ^_^.
In FFXI, got San'Doria Rank 9 ^_^. Talked to Methyr that same night, she rarely gets on anymore >_<;'. She was getting her Cooking Guild Points. Which reminds me...I might change from a Cooking Crafter to an Alchemist Crafter, should be fun. Back to Rank 9...I just need to kill the 2 NMs in Batallia Downs to complete the first Rank 9 Mission. I also got my NPC: Raka to lvl 42 yesterday while farming Spider Webs in Western Altepa Desert. Did the NPC quest in the Promyvions and got me a Tactics Pearl to call her 4 times whenever I want. 4 Charges for every Conquest Tally. Got BST to lvl 23. Camped Behemoth with 5 other Ambitionites (members of my LS), KB spawned instead...Luckily we didn't get claim or we would have been crushed. Watched the fight, got the TOD, went back to Jeuno and decided to do the RSE Quest. Haven't done ONE yet. Saw that the next Hume Male RSE was in Gusgen Mines so I headed there and got the Key in one fight. ^_^. Now I just have to wait until it's Hume Male RSE week.

That's pretty much it thus far.
Cya~

It's been a while since I've *UPDATED* I'll start from Friday(16th)of last week.
The team headed to Grandview around 3:00 p.m. on Friday and we got prepared for what we hoped would be another victory. Specialists went out to the field around 4:30 to kick/recieve, and in my case, placehold for our field goal kicker. After a somewhat successful kicking session we head back into the locker room and wait for the rest of the team to continue with the remainder of our pre-game warm-up. We finish our pre-game and the game starts. We score on our first drive and I get a perfect place hold down and Pierschbacher(our kicker) kicks it through the uprights for a PAT (Point After Touchdown). Grandview then scores and it's back to being tied. Both team end up scoring numerous more times but in the end we came out short, losing to Grandview 44-35. On the bright side, me and Pierschbacher went 5/5 on PATs and I also recorded a few tackles on special teams. Well, a loss is still a loss and everyone felt horrible on the bus ride home.

When we got back to the school I decided to goto Taco Bell to get something to eat. Not many players were up there as there usually are on nights we win, so we ate with some of the Pirate fans (students) who went there to eat and then we left shortly after getting our food because they were beginning to close the lobby for the night.

I hung out with some friends for an hour or so before deciding to call it a night. I headed back to my house, where I would later fall asleep shortly after returning. I got up on Saturday ready to goto football film. I showed up at the school around 8:00 a.m. and barely made it through the door, along with Holt and Zach Rasmussen, as coach locked the door directly behind us. I sat through the boring 2 hours+ of film and would get back home around 10:30. After getting home, I thought it would be fun to have some friends over to watch a movie. We ended up watching Dodgeball for a couple hours. After the movie we watched t.v. for an hour or so and then I had to get ready for my two baseball games that night at 5:30 and 7:45. After putting my uniform on, I drove everyone home and then caught a ride with my friend and his dad up to the baseball fields in Lee's Summit.

We dominated our first game some 20-1 and then we played the same team in a double header for the game that followed. We didn't do so well for this game. The game was tied going into the final inning and the other team scored to go up by one in the top of the inning. The top half of the inning ended and it was our turn to bat. The player who started the inning struck out and I batted behind him. I beat out a choppy hit to the third basemen and became the tieing run for our team. The next batter hit a line-drive into short center and would advance me to second. We now had 2 runners on base and the winning runner on first. The fourth batter of the inning almost hit into a double play that would have ended the game but the exchange was bad and the ball was thrown into right field. I scored on the play tieing the game and then the winning run scored on a past ball dropped by the catcher. We won both games and increased our record to 4-0 ^_^. Overall I batted around .600 and did pretty well playing Center field.

The next morning I decided to eat sushi at Izumi's. ^_^. It was GREAT! I ordered an Eel, Spider, and California Roll...those Spider Rolls are pretty big. o_O;' I had some more friends over after eating and we decided to watch another movie. We decided to watch Dude Where's My Car and then later watched The Breakfast Club on the t.v. Afterwards I had to go to my aunt's house for my grandmas birthday so I dropped the girls off and headed there next.

SKIP A WEEK TO NEXT FRIDAY (23rd).

We didn't have school today but I still had a football game. I went to pre-game meal at 3:15. Coach yelled at me for being late. So now I'll have to run after practice some time next week. We ended up winning our game 48-6. I had a pretty good game my self. After the game I went over to a friends house and played pool on his new pool table. I won the first game, but lost the second match. Afterwards I went home and played some FFXI. I wanted to finish the CoP 2-3 mission but was too tired and fell asleep. I woke up the next morning and went to football film. Somewhat uneventful as usual. Afterwards I hopped back on FFXI and made an attempt to complete 2-3 but failed.

I then got ready for my two weekly baseball games. I get to the field, which is 45 minutes away, and find out they are cancelled...a phone call would have been nice. I decided to goto Steak and Shake and eat there. The food was good as always and later I headed home. When I got home I played FFXI for a little bit and then got ready to goto the soccer game. Soccer bores me but my football team was tailgating and I can't pass up free food. Our team ended up losing 4-0 in the champion ship game and I went home shortly after it concluded. I logged onto FFXI and joined a party for the CoP Subligar Quest. After getting to the Aqueducts Playonline started acting up and I got disconnected. I wasn't able to log back on for 15 minutes. When I logged back on everyone was dead...o_O;'. I decided to raise those who needed it and then went to sleep. Today I mowed my yard and relatives came over for my birthday, which is September 29, Thursday. ^_^. After they left I logged onto here where I know am.
