So today I've finally started on the task of cleaning my room. Not just throwing everything in boxes and bags and stuff, but going through it all and sorting it and throwing away the crap I don't need. Wow, there's a lot of crap I don't need. And, wow, there's twice as much crap that I don't need, but I want to save anyway. But yeah, I think I need more stuff to sort into . . . and scrapbooks. Lots of scrapbooks. Going back through lots of memories, though. I found a stash of notes I got from a few girls in high school. Wow, that was all so long ago.
Ahhhh, memories.
Been playing FFXI daily lately. Every evening. I've finally got my RedMage to level 40, which is good because I now have convert (that swaps my HP and my MP once every 10 minutes- basically, free mp every 10 minutes! Woot!). I'm a member of a new linkshell now that the old one split up due to jealousy and greed. At first the new shell was intimidating. I was worried that it'd turn out like the old one, and I'd be ignored or looked at as a burden at best. But I've actually gotten to do some stuff with the lately, and talk and get to know them, and they're so much fun! One actually bought me new armor and helped me to do a quest to get an airship pass! But yeah, I've been having so much fun joking around with them and doing stuff. It's awesome. There's also some random guy that's been hitting on me hardcore in the game. It's kinda creepy, but kinda cute, and kinda funny at the same time. He just messages me with all this flirty stuff, and I'm not sure if he realizes that just because my character in the game is female, that doesn't mean I am. *shrug* oh well. It's cute. I actually just ran into a couple people from my old LS tonight while I was on my first airship ride. They thought I had quit the game since I hadn't been on in so long. We had a brief, but pleasant conversation. It was odd to see them again after truly getting accquainted with my new LS. I guess I wasn't ignored and considered a burden by ALL my old LS.
Life is still slugging along. Not much going on other than work and the show and FFXI. Well, my sister graduated from HS on Sunday. That was big. I saw some people there I went to school with, but didn't really talk to them. I saw David just long enough for him to introduce me to his fiance. Fiance. David. Wow. Why the hell is everyone getting married? Lord.
It seems that my last post offended a certain person by the name of Brad. He was displeased that I mentioned him in a less than optimistic way, so he decided to do the same about me on his LJ while *gasp* removing me from his friends list. So I read it, of course, and decided that if he wanted to make it all public, fine. I hadn't posted any details about it here, so I let it all fly as a comment on his post. Of course he had something to say about it, but of course it completely skipped over the issues I brought up and turned the blame back on me. I commented again to point that out, and the next thing I know, his entire post is gone; comments and all. I can't think of any other legitimate reasons for him to do so other than I struck a nerve, and he couldn't deal with people actually reading about him being an asshole, so he deleted the whole thing. Of course he'll say that it was simply because he'll never shut me up about it (which is true, as long as he pushes it, I'll call him on it), but I think that deleting the post in the first place would be a bit extreme for that. He wanted to wipe the whole thing, not just shut me up. Of course, the possibility remains that the post still exists and he's just made it friends only, but that is also a suspicious thing to do.
In all reality, I'm very glad I met Brad, and he taught me a lot of things about myself; especially not to let people walk all over me, which is something I'm applying to Brad himself. I wonder how long it'll be till this Corby guy realizes how Brad really is . . .
I doubt Brad will ever read this again, but if he does . . .
