But partying with Japanese people is AWESOME!!!!!!
But, yeah, I was planning on actually doing homework tonight. I was gonna catch up on all my physiology assignments and start on my world civ paper. But, yeah . . . I decided that since I was going to be doing so much work, I should relax a little bit, since I'd spent all day at work. So, I played FF XI . . .
First, I wanted to go logging to earn money. But nooooo . . . some son of a bitch was stealing all my logging points. It really pissed me off. I'd find a logging tree, and he'd skip over and chop it down. And by the time I'd found another logging tree, he was done, and pranced over and chopped the other one down too!!!! SON OF A BITCH!!!!! Ohhhh, that made me mad. So I decided, fuck it, I'm going to kill orcs to level up.
So, I start killing orcs. And I finally find an orc that I can kill that will give me decent experience. But as I'm on my way over to it, weapon drawn and everything, some little taru taru bitch runs over, hits it once and it DIES! SON OF A BITCH!!!!!! I mean, the fact that she killed it in one hit shows you right there that the bitch was at such a high level that she didn't get any experience or items from it. So, I bitched her out. She didn't respond, so I stalked out of that area. Fuckers. That really pissed me off.
And then, I go back to killing crabs by the lake. And once again, I draw my weapon to attack a crab, and what happens!?!?!? Some asshole shoots it with an arrow and kills it. Once again, he was such a high level that he could not have possilbly gotten anything from the kill. SONS OF BITCHES!!!!! YOU CAN ALL FUCKING DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was angry. Real angry. So then I decided, fuck it, I'm going to go sythesize stuff. So, I did that for a while. I got my goldsmithing and blacksmithing skills up to the next level, and I made a lot of shit to sell. But I had to buy most of the materials. So I almost broke even. And considering I'm more skilled at stuff, it all works out.
It was now that I tried fishing. I sucked it up. Big time. And I also bought a ridiculously expensive pot to start growing stuff in my room. I mean, my room was so bare. And I found these seeds, so I decided to plant them. Wooo hoooo!!!! The house decorating has begun!
And then I went to the auction house and bought items for quests instead of actually going out and finding the items myself, like the quests say you're supposed to. But I completed the quests with the bought items, so it's all good.
Basically, I spent a lot of money in FF XI. And boy did it make me feel better for all the sons of bitches. After all this, I was going to fight a little to get some exp. This lasted until some asshole called for help. I went to help him. And when I went to help him, the bull/sheep thing, turned on me, and the asshole turn around and ran. Little fucker. So I ended up dying b/c of that little fuck. Stupid little fuck. I go to save his ass, and he abandons me to the monster. Why are people such fucking assholes?!
So, I respawned and hurriedly ran over to finish off the monster, but it had fully healed by the time I got there. IT was really discouraging. And I was about to log off when some guy asked me to join his party. I said sure. And, it ended up being a party of a buch of Japanese guys playing as warriors. Since I was the red mage, and there were no white mages, I was the healer. So, I just stood back and watched them hack stuff to death as I administered cure spells whenever someone's life dipped too low. It was actually a lot of fun. But there was this one guy that just kept getting his ass kicked. I don't know what his problem was. But they were all really cool and I realized just how incredibly awesome it is to play a game with other real live human beings. To meet people in this fantasy world and cooperate to survive. It's just so awesome. Everyone should try it. The game is infinitely more fun when you're in a party of people.
But yeah, so we killed stuff for an hour or so, I got up to level 11, and then we all parted ways. And here I am, absolutely no homework done. And I'm blogging instead of doing said homework or going to sleep. But I wanted to blog, damnit. I did! And, yeah, I'll probably describe my apiffy weekend later. If it still feels important, that is. But now, I'm tired. G'night.
