Oh baby oh baby! I got 4 WHOLE levels this weekend! I was soooooooo happy to actually get something accomplished. It was really distracting though because the Olympics have been on and I've been watching as much as I possibly can because they only come once every 4 years.
I ended up partying with my DRG from 34 -> 36 and then soloing my DRG from 36 -> 38. Partying was pretty fun because it was a party that I could have PL'd but I ended up not since we didn't really need it. The SMN and DNC were doing really good jobs of keeping the party alive. There was only one point at which a guy died towards the end just because no one could take hate off of him for some reason. Which was really surprising because I could normally take all the hate I wanted most of the time, but in that one circumstance I couldn't pull hate because I whiffed like 3 times. Another funny part of me leveling with them was that I I got High Jump at 35. When I started using High Jump I wasn't shedding any hate like I was supposed to be ... because High Jump was still landing for about 80. lol
Soloing went pretty smoothly except for 2 deaths, 1 was because I linked the gob with the pet in Eastern Altepa Desert, and the other was because I was watching quite possibly the greatest swimming relay of all time. That was the race that Jason Lezak swam the fastest 100M freestyle split ever to out touch the French swimmer by .08 seconds. Yeah, didn't so much care that I died there because I MUCH would've rather watched that race!
Then right towards the end of the night I was about 4 or 5 mobs from leveling then some JP jerk offs came and were taking my mobs. Then I accidentally took the one Trader but slept it and ran. After that I stay away until one of his other friends came over and killed my Trader ... COMPLETELY on purpose. I mean there were 5 goblins around and he chose the Trader. Lucky for me I was still smarter than them because their Trader had already popped out another spider over in a corner where they didn't see it so I went over and claimed it. It was nice of them to try to be slick but they stole my camp anyways so I figured I would be the bigger man (and smarter) and just out claim them and not allow them to know where that other Trader was ... their loss was my gain.
Tonight I hope to get to 40 on MY DRG so I can move back to PLD. Once I get DRG out of the way it'll be a nice change of pace to swap back to GS and see what kind of alright damage a tank job can actually do. Although I am really enjoying DRG but I need to keep to my plan of all jobs to 40 then all jobs to 50. I may actually be a little ahead of where I was expecting to be with my goals. Maybe I will be able to hit all jobs at 40 by end of August and then all jobs at 50 by beginning of October. That would give me over 2.5 months to roll through 16 levels on about 10 jobs, which is more reasonable. Before this weekend I really doubted that I could get Maat's Cap by the end of the year, but now I'm thinking its still possible. This is getting exciting again :D
On a final note, friends seem to be coming back. Drivvt (an old RL friend of Screamin) just got back from another looooong break and sounds like he is trying to get his THF to 75 now. Ara just moved back to this server and sounds like he is trying to start a kinda low man Limbus shell which would be nice because I would love some Homam and Nashira gear for my jobs. Hopefully Disdain will be back when he moves out to Seattle because he won't know too many people and will have the time to game again. Khrone is back to being excited about the game which means he'll start gaming more and actually start making progress in the game again. Hybrid decided he's back now too (again) and actively workin on Maat's Cap again. He's got more free time than me with his new job, or so he just texted me this morning, so maybe he can catch up to me some more.
Good times ... good times

Yeah. That relay race was phenominal. I watched the whole thing (despite the fact that we were in the middle of Dynamis at the time. lol) and was amazed how many teams were ahead of the old world record pace for the entire race. I couldn't even stay seated for the whole race.
And then 1 person makes a comment in the LS saying "we got another gold" and I apparently was the only one who knew what she was talking about. So... not sure if I'm gonna like hangin with this new group; if noone was watchin, then does that mean they're all TOO into the game? :-/ Eh. hopefully they all just play on PS3s and couldn't be watching tv at the same time. /shrug

I knew an HP quote was coming when I read that.
