Where does the time go?

In some real life news - I know I don't post much about myself on this blog, you can check out www.xanga.com/ryugagi82 for my personal blog - I've settled into my internship here in Atlanta, GA. The moving process and time management has been enduring to say the least. I wasn't online FFXI for about a whole 2 weeks. However, as the Chinese proverb goes, "Time away is a new marriage." I think thats about correct. I've gotten into the cycle playing FFXI from 10EST until 2AM everynight. Its quite nice.

Been playing with Chubbie more than Hyourin. Only becasue shes just so cutaru. Look! Her head is JUMBO SIZED! Its like... a balloon!

Been seeing some familiar faces in Vana'diel. See if you recognize some faces!
The hume on top was Jedi and the Galka on the bottom was Darth.

I allowed Yukimu access to my account for the time I was away. With him proclaiming to everyone that I sold my account to him, he's like the devil's advocate.

In a long time, I've been very content with my FFXI life. No lofty goals, not real set plan. Just content. I'm just happy that all my friends are playing the game again, with a new addition of Mittsuro. This week and next has been planned on trying to get him tthrough the typical pre-30 tasks. Getting his SJ, Chocobo pass, Kazham pass, rank 3, etc etc. Alot of {fun} I think. These are our salad days as Yukimu would put it.

Since there are now a surplus of friends and summer is upon us, we have decided to static together. 4 hours a night, 4 nights a week. I call it the "4 by 4 plan." Gain 10 levels a week in FFXI! I gaurantee it! =p

Setup: NIN, BST, SAM, BLM, RDM, WHM

Nothing better than putting 8 hours at work and still be able to come home and play FFXI for a few hours with buds. My office is so big and bright that I kinda wish we all could just play FFXI here =p. Office fantasy...

In cooler news, I finally got my berets from activating Chubbie with a gold pass! I've been getting /checks from strangers ever since.

I've been invited into a JPN ls recently. (Don't worry MA, I still love ya!) Everyone in the LS is relatively new, and its the best of both worlds for me. I'm playing FFXI and practicing my Japanese!

I think the second best thing I like doing in FFXI besides meeting new people is to ability to mentor people. Show them the ropes much how Deviltti showed me how to do stuff. Helping out in high-level content is cool too, but strapping on the armor and sword to help a low-bie. Thats something enjoyable.
Here is a picture of me getting mauled by cats. RAWR~ Ari says every Japanese PLD must have a V-cloak. So here is mine!
Who's the sexy bytch? Oh yeah. You know it. =p But, its really Auto's. He lent it to me for a few minutes as I PL'ed in the dunes. I'll get this thing just because it looks so darn sexy!
