Halloween

Happy Halloween! Time to stuff my face with chocolate chocolate chocolate. I have been eating so healthy this week, but then all this damn chocolate around me ... I CAN'T CONTROL MYSELF!!! Last night I broke down and opened my bag of candy for the little kiddies and I ate like 8 pieces, WHOOPS. Tonight I get to relax for a few hours without my gf because she is going to her cousin's house to see her niece and nephew dressed up and going trick or treating. I am not going because I got relegated to handing out the candy to the rug rats. Guess that means I get to play FFXI and RB2 then eh?

Last night was a day I tried to push myself and I actually got a level on my PLD. I was VERY stressed for time because I got into a party with an hour and a half before gods were supposed to start. By the time I got there and we got started another 2 people had to leave so we were down to less than an hour after only a few mobs. Then waiting around for other people and then finally switching camps. I ended up not even being able to finish using my ring off because we barely killed anything. I only got about 4k exp total wasting like 1/3 of my ring. In the end I wasn't really bothered by it because at least I got SOME exp and a level which makes me happy. No matter how small of progress it was it was still progress.

We then went up and got to sky, got TP, got ready to pop Suzaku, and then realized the guy with all the pop sets was still in Limbus. Luckily he was up in sky about 15 min after we realized this so we decided to just wait for him. We whooped on Suzaku with only 1 tank dying from a Chainspell Firaga III on him but other than that it was cake. Then we moved on to Sieryu whom we also whooped on easily and had one of our PLDs actually Invincible on his 2hr so that was cake as well. After that we broke out and everyone had to go gear up for another Kirin TP burn. I have to admit, I'm actually surprised with my overall damage on it because I realized I had forgotten to 2hr at the start AND I didn't put hasso up until about halfway through. I still ended with about 5300 total damage and about 8.4% of the overall damage. Considering how poorly I think my WAR is gear I think that is fantastic. I would say I was on the lower end of the middle crowd, about 4th or 5th lowest DD. Of course the DRK with an HP build and a Mercurial Kris did over 13% but that's like cheating because of Souleater and his 2hr. Good job to Aguaa none the less for working that damamge. I do have to take some credit for it though because I was in one of Aguaa's parties while he was blitzing his DRK at like level 74 while level syncing down to the bird camp in the past.

Still no W Legs dropped but Sush got his D Body (Shura Togi) and someone else got an Osode. The other gods we did really didn't drop anything worth while and basically everything was a total waste that did drop. I thought about just letting Sieryu's Sword free drop to me but I doubt I would ever use that sword so its not like the 5 points would be worth it. It seems that the LS has been having really bad luck with Waters and Diorites so those were the main things we were trying to go for but never seem to get. Two nights ago we spent hours doing dio/water farming and got nothing, which is just terrible luck because we even had TH4 in the dio party. As for farming last night, I decided I was too tired after we beat Kirin so I just went to bed.

This weekend I will have very little time to game, of course, because my gf is going to be in town before I even get out of work. She does have a lot of homework to do so I may get some free time to level my PLD and crank out a level or 2 on it ... hopefully. I am kind of excited to getting back to PLD because I feel that I am doing a pretty good job holding hate on PLD and being a decent DD too. On some of the crawlers last night I was probably averaging about about 25 per swing which isn't too shabby. Although, I am more looking forward to being done with all of these jobs to 50 so I can move back to the things I really want to do. And on a side note, I don't think I will be doing WHM from 42 -> 66 right away because now that I have a sky shell and busy a lot more I won't be hitting my end of year goal. This puts me to doing jobs that I really want to now then, like my MNK and SAM. I think I will be doing SAM first though because I think I will have more fun with that than I will with MNK, even though I know I'm gonna like MNK too.

Quote of the Day:
AnneMarie: Wow, this is really delicious!
(10 minutes later)
AnneMarie: That was terrible, but I didn't want to say that infront of the girl that made the stuff.
Bob: Oh does that mean I can throw away mine too then, because I didn't really like it.
Me: Yeah, I actually only had one bite and then slyly threw mine away.
