So, how was your year?
I turned 29 this year. Last year before finally becoming a real adult at 30 next month. Let me see… Mayong opened on June 30th and I made the switch over from the Firiona Vie server (and started a lead a guild of people). Met a lot of new people..
Blah blah blah, my life is boring. Hehe. I suppose nothing exciting happened this year. Hoping that next year is better and more exciting.
One of my good friends in Pittsburgh just found out that the girl he’s sleeping with.. got pregnant. He said that he’s been using protection, but she ended up with a bun in the oven. Thankfully, him and the mom gonna sit down and decide whether to keep it or put it up for adoption.
Which leads me to think.. After I finish school and settle down.. Whether I want to start a family of my own. As of right now, I can’t financially afford to have babies. I still have a few years to decide though.
My biggest frustration is when a player decides to become a cleric.. they have absolutely no fucking clue what they’re doing. I have absolutely no problem when we get a cleric in group and they’re doing what the fuck they’re supposed to do.
I was in a group today with a cleric. I asked for spell haste probably 3 times before they even casted it on me. When I still had my level 75 cleric.. the very first time someone asked for spell haste I gave it to them. Not the 3rd time. After asking for it 3 times, I got the sinking feeling that the cleric was a complete moron. Then, she whips out her tank mercenary.. and just sits there as he’s dying. Hello? Are you not a fucking cleric who heals or just a complete imbecile? Then.. she just stands there as a mob is beating on her.. then dies.
I swears to god. Sometimes I just wanna smack someone for being so goddamn stupid.
9 days until the new year.
Where exactly has the year gone? I remember as a kid the days used to feel like weeks as they passed by. Now.. as an adult.. The weeks and months feel like days passing. Where is all the time going? And why does it feel reversed (as in time passing)?
My 30th birthday is next month. I can’t believe I’m turning 30.
30.
I never thought I’d reach this age. When I was a kid.. I thought 30 was so far away. And not it’s almost here. /sigh
When I was younger, I used to play Enigma in the background as I slept. Not really loud.. just audible enough to hear from my bed. I would have the overhead fan blow cool air on me as I relaxed and slumbered. I remember having the most awesome dreams, as Enigma would interweave it’s music into my dreams. I got so used to having music playing as I slept that I couldn’t sleep without it.
I’m not sure how I’ll deal with it these days.. as little sounds tend to keep me up and unable to fall asleep. I normally only have the standing fan on, for white noise. For some reason, I have to be cold and have white noise in the background to be able to have a good night’s sleep. The fan doesn’t matter so much.. but I always sleep better if I’m cold. My friend Anthony is also the same way (being cold while sleeping). I’m an oddball.
One song that stands out for me.. that always relaxed me was this one:
Recently my guild in EQ1 has hit 150 members. It may have taken about…. 6 months to get. But the thing is, we’re not a raiding guild. If we had been, the numbers would have been much higher. I originally built the guild around casual grouping. People these days.. all they want is raid, raid, raid. “Screw the grouping side of EQ1.”
Back when I was still on Firiona Vie and a cleric.. all everyone ever wanted me for was raids. And I got really burnt out on them because of it. When I made the move to Mayong, I definitely wanted a more relaxed environment where I wasn’t pressured.
Fortunately.. building the guild around casual grouping, I haven’t had much drama in the guild. Which is weird. Majority of our members are over 30 and are married.. even though I recruit 18 and over. I think because of that, there’s virtually no drama. Most of them enjoy picking on their beloved guild leader (~snicker~), but they do it out of fondness.. I think?
I think I may be coming down with a cold. The past few days, I’ve been feeling really weak and my head’s been stuffy. The other thing that’s bothering me is that my right foot is all swollen, pink, and warm to the touch. I’m not sure if it’s cellulitis.. But, I’ll be making a doctor’s call tomorrow morning to make an appointment.
I hate being sick. 
I recently purchased Dragon Age: Origins for the PS3 (I refuse to buy any Microslop products). And my god, that game is so incredibly awesome. I just purchased it last week and have already logged about 10 hours of playtime. It’s not a lot of time, since majority of my playtime is spent in Everquest 1, but my dusty PS3 has been getting a lot of use lately.
The graphics are amazing, the plot is superb. It’s actually gotten me interested in role-playing games again. On Black Friday, I was able to pick up 3 more RPG games for my Playstation (used, of course.. because.. well.. they’re cheaper). Lately, I’ve been less interested in EQ1… reason being is that I’m really getting tired of the mind numbing grind. Over and over again.
5 long years, I’ve been playing Everquest 1. The game isn’t a horrible one.. I do admit that the graphics engine needs an overhaul, but the actual gameplay is nice. But, after 5 years.. I’m getting tired of routine xp and faction grind. One thing I actually enjoyed in Everquest 2, is that the quests are much more fun. The faction grind there is less boring and just seems more fun. At least, in my opinion.
