house party and other somewhat interesting crap

recently we had a house party in sandy's mog house. it was my first time in someone else's mog house and i think i am much more comfortable in the confines of my boring home. the first thing i notice are her mannequins. those scary things (especially the one of the naked hume) reminded me of the clay soldiers found in china.





sandy has no bed in her mog house. -.- another odd thing is she has these weird cabinets on one side of the house. i felt trapped and scared for my life. i did hear a rumor that it doubles as a morgue and she keeps dead tarus in them for her mad experiments. so if youre a taru and she invites you in...

let's see what other mischievous things ive been up to...

i ran into bluefenris. i personally dont know these guys that have part of my name in their name but there seems to be a mutual respect...you know, kinda like how bikers on the road flash a sign as they pass each other.



another cool thing was a (death) (can i have it?) picture opportunity i found while running to rabao. this dead guy was one sick mofo if i were to say so myself!



i was also able to gain a few levels on my black mage by being a sub for one of alci's statics. i havent played this job for awhile and it really showed because i wasnt managing my mp well and i was nuking like a madman. i was supposed to sub again for them the next night but my noobness was probably a factor why alci told me 'guankim is going to show up tomorrow night so you dont have to play with us'. it turns out guankim didnt show up. -.- coincidence??? i just wish that alci couldve been truthful instead of making up a false reason for not wanting to party with me. im a grown hume...i think i can handle the truth. :D

anyways, i think he felt sorry for me so he invited me to join another static in which he was a paladin. i thought to myself 'wow, he's playing a job where he's supposed to be getting hit by the mob'. i know all of you out there were thinking the same thing. bwahahaha!

back from hiatus

wow it's been awhile since i last posted...so long that i forgot the password to this blog. -.-

'hiatus'...that's a strange looking word. do you ever look at certain words and think 'that word has a weird spelling'?

anyways, let's see what's been happening in my final fantasy world...

i finally stalked jakbauer successfully. okay so maybe it didn't quite work out that way but it sounds better than saying 'he walked right up to me at the auction house'.



in my quest for a garliage key, i saw something which i love to see: a dead body!



i've been bored in-game so i decided to retry my hand at fishing. it's actually pretty fun but skillups are few and far between so it's kinda frustrating. i think i caught about 7 stacks of moat carp and was debating whether to turn those suckers in for the lu shang's quest. i'm an idiot so i turned them in...only 826 more stacks to go! unfortunately i havent gone fishing since. -.-



recently a bunch of LS mates (sandy, malumake, trynne, val, and zaria) helped me with a couple of ToAU missions. i was totally unprepared since i didnt read up on the missions but it's good that someone in the LS will remember what needs to be done. while i was waiting for the ferry to nashmau, sandy told me to 'shut up'. poor me. i wish i couldve frapped that conversation.

i havent seen alci on for awhile so there hasnt been any statics planned. i think once he starts it going again (hint hint), it'll renew my interest in the game. right now im bored and not sure what i should do in-game. any suggestions on what to do from the peanut gallery out there? :D

miscellaneous crap from this week

L50 static - this was a pretty eventful party since there was much death. alci died twice to sickle slash *shudder* and i died once due to dark spore (i was malu's meat shield since i got rocked for 800+ damage and he only took 200+...gotta protect those tarus!). even more disappointing than the deaths was the fact that i wasnt able to take any pictures. it wasnt a good night. -.-



popular - for once i felt pretty popular. i logged on last night to do some AH stuff and immediately i get a tell from someone asking if i want to party in kuftal tunnel (i forgot i wasnt anon) but i politely refused. at the same time, sumiko sends me a tell and we start talking story. this is quite odd since im the one that has to bug her first before she starts talking to me. you know those divas. :D while this is happening, alci the 'party' animal asks if i have anything around L49 that i want to level. it felt so weird juggling so many different conversations at one time...is this what it feels like to be like sumiko? i think the only thing missing was the fact that i didnt do any mistells. :D

donating blood - i just donated blood on monday and if you havent donated before, there is a prescreening process where they ask you all kinds of questions before they jab you in the arm. one of the questions is 'have you ever had sex with another male, even once, since 1977?'. there are times when i hear this question and i want to bust out laughing and there are other times when i want to slam my fist on the table and say 'HELL, NO!'. but i did what i normally do and kept my poker face on and calmly said 'no'. i have to give a firm answer or else they might think im lying. so if you ever hear me ask someone that in-game, dont be offended...im just prescreening them.

whm af - i needed to get my whm af hat (referred to as 'clown hat' by malu) from garliage citadel and as usual, i asked sandy for help. this was my first time delving so deeply into garliage citadel since having to get my limit break item (which was many, many eons ago). i was all prepared to camp my butt behind banishing gate 3 and log on every few hours looking for the coffer but luckily the area was empty and malu found it behind banishing gate 2. we also went through banishing gate 3 so i could get to the stone monument in sauromugue champaign. damn that stupid selbina clay quest! thanks again to sandy, malu, and trynne for their help!

24 update - ive been hunting high and low for jakbauer but he is nowhere to be found! i was able to search and find him once in bastok but by the time i got there, he had logged off. this guy is even sneakier than i am! -.-

here's a picture i took a few months back for alcindor:

(death) (can i have it?) part III

i have a problem. many of you will agree but that's not my point. whenever i am in an experience party and i get a coffer/chest key, i have the urge to keep the key and find the corresponding chest/coffer. in my 50s static i was able to get a quicksands coffer key and it was perfect since i didnt have the map to that area. so in my attempt to find the coffer i run across the ??? which gives the antican tag (this pops an NM which drops the tungi, gil, and various ores). against my better judgment, i get it and hope to make some free gil from the drops. i figure i would try and solo it since i dont want to bother anyone else to come with me.

i do my research and the NM sounds tough but ive read posts where various 75 jobs which sub ninja have no problem with it. i am wary since warriors have terrible evasion but i go and try anyways. i clear out the antican princeps in the area with help from my npc. the mob is ep and it takes longer than i thought to kill it. im having second thoughts now and i check the LS. kaname is on but he is in an xp party. malu is on but he might be afk. one of alci's mules are on but then again his mule is always on. as i am about to bail out on this mission, i check the LS again and i see alci is online. so i ask if he's busy and tell him that i might need a raise. -.-

i wait for the antican princeps to spawn again since i dont want him linking with the NM. i take him down fairly easy so im feeling pretty confident now. i trade the antican tag to the ??? and the antican shows up. he's much bigger than i thought. immediately he rips away my first set of shadows. i recast and instantly theyre gone again. wth? i read posts which say his accuracy sucks! so im getting pounded on while trying to cast utsu:ichi. of course i fail many times and then im down to 600 hps. the utsu:ni timer expires and im able to cast that successfully. poof! shadows go down quick and im thinking i should probably warp out. but then i see the NM readying shoulder slam and...



i immediately ask alci for a raise. -.-

he's busy but is kind enough to come and raise the fool who doesnt know what he's doing. thank you alcindor. :D

24

did you ever have a time in-game where some stranger sends you a tell saying 'hi' or waves at you? just last night a character named jakbauer (i dont watch the show but i hear it's good) waves at me in jeuno. now im thinking 'do i know this guy?'. did he mistake me for the other fenri (this is plural for fenris, right?) on the server (e.g. fenriss, bluefenris)? being the nice motherf*cker that i am, i wave back at him. i did notice that he has the same LS pearl color as GYS. my goal for this week is to stalk him and take a picture with him.

what does lol really mean?

tonight while talking to an anonymous LS member, i found out that this person initially thought that lol stood for 'lots of laughs'. -.-

so in tribute to this, fenris (in his underwear) is having lots of laughs.

ffxi recap

here's a recap of the past week's ffxi adventures.

L50 static - this is currently my only static now that the monday one has been terminated (may that static r.i.p.). i must say our last monday static, which was about 2 months ago, was quite sad. noob was hugging people and launching datochochin fireworks to signal the end of our 3 year journey. yes, it was 3 years. of course we didnt static together from the start...we probably should have so it wouldnt have taken us so long to get to 75.

i dont want to make this a sob story (sniff sniff) but it is kind of weird not static'ing on mondays. the monday static started off with me, zoie, saiyuuki, and noob. it's weird to think that noob originally started his ffxi career as a blm -.- gshift leveled with us in the jungles before soaring past us in levels (like everyone else). trynne later joined up and i remember japyaa filled in as our 6th a few times. i think zaria became our permanent 6th member after his static stopped due to others playing WoW. along the way we allianced with kaname a couple of times and then settled on an 8 man static with sumiko and dahoman. but i digress...

anyways, i guess i should get back to the L50 static. heh. there's nothing much to talk about since there were no deaths. :D this static is sure easy on me since sandy's nin rarely needs heals and if she does, malu is always on it before i am. i do recall being proud of how i reorganized my whm macros so that it was easier for me to know where spells were when switching between sets. but wouldnt you know it...an exoray did a paralyze tp move and im looking at my macros and i see blindna, poisona, cursna, viruna, stona...where the f*ck is paralyna? i was thinking to myself, 'it's gotta be here'! motherf*cker!!! (i think i picked this up from watching 'dog the bounty hunter'...if you watch the show, he always yells that when busting through someone's door: 'on the floor, motherf*cker!!!') so i start manually typing it out and by that time lanoire or malu casted paralyna for me. -.-

staging points - sandy, being bored out of her mind -.-, offers to help me with the staging points that im missing (ilrusi and dvucca). it's cool because toaster came along, too...here i thought i was the only person that couldnt put '6/6 runic portal' in my search comment. we all agreed that arrapago reef was creepy...so much so that it was making toaster sweat irl! o.O i hate true sight and true sound mobs...not to mention the fact that i didnt have the map to this place. anyways we got the staging points without any deaths...but i was able to aggro a couple of heraldic imps along the way! -.- thanks for your help sandy and toast!

besieged - a L7 undead besieged was happening and i figured it was a good time to get xp on my L44 blm. it sucks not having stoneskin and reraise spells available to my blm (lanoire knows about this since she's raised my sorry a** many times). so i figured i would be smart this time and just hang out in the back and do curing to get my 1k xp. so im bombing cure2's and cure3's left and right and thinking this is too damn easy! but for some reason besieged never ends and the generals start falling. pretty soon people are yelling to help out at the hall of binding. being the nosy person i am, i mosey on down to check it out and i just see all kinds of mobs flooding the area. somehow a merrow has a liking towards me (those women snakes love humes) and starts whacking me...2 hits later im dead. -.- thank god my instant rr scroll was still in effect...i raised and then hid in a corner waiting for the nightmare to end. the astral candescence was captured and i only ended up with a measly 435xp. -.- i know it's happened before but this was the first time ive ever seen us lose besieged.

(death) (can i have it?)

here is a montage of death pictures (in no particular order). enjoy!









a tribute to the master of maze of shakhrami and buburimu peninsula. i would say he solo'ed most of pld L1-37 -.-





noob is crying over our deaths. i can feel the love.

death by galka

need...more...RAGE!

here is a picture of noob and jioji. noob is in bare (heh) form. i guess he has built up a lot of rage since he looks like he is going to maul jioji.

you always remember your first...

by popular demand (well only one person asked for it) here is my first posting. i'm not sure what to write but here goes...

orz - i was in sandoria the other night and someone was shouting for a teleport and would pay 3k. i just got there so although my chang blood was boiling to take it, i decided to go about my business. a few moments later this person raises the reward to 4k! so i send a tell asking if he wants a teleport and he excitedly says 'yes'. i try and invite him and the damn request can't be processed. wtf??? so then he tells me 'i didnt notice that someone else had invited me already...orz'. orz? what the heck is that? is that the sound a dying animal makes? in any case, it is now my new favorite word. sandy did look it up for me and im guessing this was what he was trying to convey: a Japanese emoticon representing a kneeling or bowing person, with the "o" being the head, the "r" being the arms and part of the body, and the "z" being part of the body and the legs. This "stick" figure represents failure and despair. Orz!

license to drive - i was headed home tonight after picking up dinner at subway (gotta support jared!) and while driving across an intersection, a truck in the other direction comes out of nowhere and starts turning left in front of me. i had to brake hard...there was no screeching noise or smoke but just imagine there was some. that motherf*cker in the truck had the nerve to give me stink eye like it was my fault. o.O im not the best driver in the world but i hate these punka** b*tches that think they own the road. :D

WoW - ive been slowly learning things about world of warcraft since noob loves the game and sandy has been trying it out. it turns out your character can turn into a bear form (no, not 'bare'). to use special abilities you need RAGE! whenever i hear RAGE, i think of mr. furious from mystery men. -.-

does it say 'good samaritan' on my forehead? - here is an excerpt of something that happened to me in sandoria a few months back.

dude>> can u help me plz
(he examines me)
me<<>> can u help me get ninja
me<<>> no
dude>> i dont know how
me<<>> can you help me do it
me<<>> plz just help me
dude sighs dejectedly

music - i just logged onto ffxi and on ls chat i hear eck say he just got the ffxi soundtrack box set. i think he's going to listen to it every night before going to bed...nothing beats falling asleep to the soothing sounds of the sanctuary of zitah! -.- ha ha! im just kidding eck...or am i? :D
