Oh yes, it shall be mine. We got 2 more diorite last night bringing us to a grand total of I BELIEVE 3 or 4 Byakko. I know we have at least 3 right now which means it just has to be 1/3 tonight and it shall be MINE!!! After that I can start being the loot whore I've always wanted to be. Maybe I can actually get some Heca gear for my WAR then and actually have a well equipped WAR for once.
Oh the gear that can flow in towards me once I get Haidate. Maybe I should start scheming to see where I would land on the N Body and D Body lists. I definitely want to just get as much as I can, and if no one lots for this gear I would definitely drop the 5 points on ALL of it. WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I'm pumped!!! After looking at the points, once I get my Haidate I will still be right arount #20 in points and about half of those people aren't really with the LS anymore. I love this because I could easily get some really nice pieces really quickly! I am now giddy like a school girl. lol
The big problem with last night was that for some strange reason a 56MB update took 3 hours to get downloaded and installed on my computers. I ended up being late because of it. But while I was waiting for the download to finish I got a lot of play time into Rock Band 2. I have yet to fail a song on Hard but I have yet to play any of the top 15 songs. There have been times where I came very close to failing but I still pulled it out and one time when I actually got 5 stars on AC/DC - Let There Be Rock. Not to mention last night I hit the 1,000,000 fan mark and got a trophy for it. It was cool to see another trophy pop up since I haven't gotten one in a while. I have also unlocked almost all of the venues now. There are probably only about 2 more venues that I still have to unl0ck.
As for tonight, I have championships for volleyball so it'll be a best of 5 series. After that it will probably be about 8:30 or so which doesn't really give me time for much except maybe crafting. Crafting is actuallya good idea for myself since I've been dumping gil into it and I need to actually use it to make some gil for once after I dump all this gil into it. Although now I am a little scared because there is a new earring out that has 30 charges of RR3 which could CRUSH the market for RR Hairpins. Here's to hoping all my gil spent on leveling up BC does not go to waste. Then of course it will be time for sky and me getting my Haidate and a ton of other gear too. Hahaha

Nap Time?
I have been sooooooooo tired the past week and looking forward to the weekend to catch up on all of that sleep that I missed out on. Well, I didn't really get to catch up that much because Friday I got stuck doing dry wall and then came home to do my escort and choco race and then some AF stuff, like finishing my BST AF.
I am pleased to announce that my DRG is finally 50! That is why I was able to start on some more AF Friday night because I was actually starting my DRG AF quests to get rid of my keys. Friday I started my AF2 quest which I then completed on Saturday because I had to wait til JP midnight to be able to continue the quest. On Saturday I only did my DRG AF up until the fight because I didn't even have time to finish the friggin fight since I spent most of the day doing dry wall for my brother's garage .... AGAIN! That's why I got very little sleep on Friday night. Saturday night I went to another Halloween party that was pretty fun, especially the good music and all you can drink beer. It was also the first time I have ever played Dodge Ball indoors because a bunch of my friends and I went as Verizon and another group went as the Average Joes from Dodge Ball. Much fun was had by all.
After that I was quite sloshed and ended up getting about 11 hours of sleep on Saturday night which felt FANTASTIC. Too bad getting that much sleep basically ruined my Sunday because I woke up in time to get to the concert I had to go to. The concert was fun and I'll just leave it at that.
Once I got back from the concert Khrone came over and we played some RB2 and ended up unlocking like the gig that lets you beat RB2 I guess. There are still a lot of places that I can't even play at yet but I guess the final gig is open to me now.
Khrone finally went home and I ended up just camping a coffer in Quicksand Caves for my DRG AF. Some butt munch was there popping coffers on THF and then logging until they repopped. It took me 2.5 hours to finally get my DRG AF from there which I won't even use for a looooooong time, but I'm just glad I'm making progress. Hopefully I can finish up the other coffers pretty quickly and then whoop on Dark Spark and get all my AF done for DRG by the end of the week. It will be nice to open up even more space in my MH because I was struggling for space but now I have about 20 open spots and am loving it!
As for sky, we had quite the off night. Sush decided to take a group of our BLMs to try to beat PM6-4 but was unsuccessful quite a few times I guess. So we did Suzaku slightly short handed but didn't really have any problem. That one seal finished off another Kirin set for us so we decided to go kill Kirin. Got there and ended up waiting for about an hour for people to get there because Mact stole one of our WHM to do his Alexander fight to finish ToAU missions. He even had a miss tell that went to the LS saying that he wasn't going to Kirin and he might come up afterwards but ended up not. This is also after the fact that Sush bailed because he was in a bad mood from failing PM6-4. We finally gather together for Kirin, do our practice run, BRDs pop their 2hrs (one of which was me), we sing our songs, and we get ready to fight Kirin... and we're ready ... and we're waiting ... and the 1st party loses their songs .... and the 2nd party loses their songs ... and BOOM there's Kirin! Supposedly fuman had problems with his trade getting interupted so after the 2nd group lost their songs I think just about everyone was thinking that he wasn't going to be popped. Well we were so wrong, because there he was without any BRD 2hrs anymore. By some miracle we beat him with a bunch of people dying but we beat him none-the-less. To top it all off, we got W Legs to drop which Aguaa got for his 2nd char. Guess that means 1 more person out of my way for them.
I wasn't so pleased with how the LS got ran last night because everyone looks towards Sush for leadership and he bailed on us, then Mact bailed on us. Luckily Vib was ready to step up and get people going for everything. None of it ran smoothly, and we had 2 D Hands drop off the one god which someone actually bought from us for 250k ... WASTE OF GIL. Then at the end of the night to top off the bad day as it was, someone dropped the aliance after our last god and we lost a Siren's Hair and the god's seal since people didn't pass and they broke the alliance. Not so pleased about that because that would've finished off another Kirin pop set for us. Let's hope tonight runs a lot smoother than last night because if it doesn't run well I have a feelign some people may leave the LS and there was already a lot of complaining and people whining about points not being updated in over a week.
Tonight will probably be more coffer hunting because I have a dinner and something else to go to so I won't be on until later. It would only give me about 2 full hours to level my PLD which really isn't enough because that 2 hours is from the time I get home to the time sky starts which really means if I got a party RIGHT away when I got home I could get an hour and a half in if I'm lucky, which I haven't been. So this is perfect for being able to just run around and do something productive with short amounts of time. Thankfully I'll have a lot of other jobs to do this with too.

My First Kirin Burn
To start off the evening I had a bunch of RL stuff to do ... again. But once I got done with that I got a chance to log on and chat with some friends while playing RB2 (GOT MY SOUND GUY) and then headed back out to volleyball. I ROCKED in volleyball again btw. :D
Once I got home it was time for gods. This was going to be my first time with gods in LolFail. Started with Seiryu which was pretty easy, just bound him on his 2hr and we were fine and it surprisingly went well and people disengaged on it in time too. Then we moved on to Suzaku which went well but not as smoothly as one would hope because a few people died from his 2hr because people were really slow on unlocking from him. Those two were pretty easy though, but the real test was up next. It was time for Byakko which I figured would actually let me know how good this LS was. I must admit, Byakko went very smoothly, probably more smoothly than the other two actually. One thing I must say I was impressed with was people were actually on top of the paralynas. Oh, and to top it off, Haidate dropped so that is another person out of the kitty pants line.
Now we move on to the main event, my first Kirin burn. So I actually got to come on my WAR/SAM which was REALLY surprising because my WAR isn't all that well geared especially because Disdain has some of my gear still, like my assault earring and someone else has my chiv chain. Oh well, I swore I wouldn't dump any gil into my WAR until I got Byakko's Haidate which I am sticking to. I will put some more effort into it when I actually have the gil to put into it, like actually lotting on some Heca gear. But back to what I was talking about, the Kirin burn. Each party had a WHM, a BRD, and 4 DD. We did a few practice runs to get the BRDs around to each party with songs gotten out. Its a good thing they did the practice runs because the first try was terrible, and the 2nd one Sush d/c'd, but it was better on the 3rd, and the 4th was when we actually went. I didn't actually parse it but I feel that I did a pretty good job, even without using Mighty Strikes which looking back I should have done. Once the BRDs finished their songs Sush popped Kirin and we just rocked Kirin. His 2hr didn't even kill anyone which was VERY surprising, and no one died at all because the whm nailed benediction right on time. Sadly no W. Legs dropped but N Body and Osode dropped which were both very welcome since that knocks people down in points a lot which brings me up ever so slightly.
Overall it seems like this could be a fun LS to be in. And to be perfectly honest, I was happy for the people that got the drops. I didn't get anything but I don't really expect to be in contention for anything for another week or two. It was a good feeling though to be able to help other people out and get them what they want/need to better gear their jobs. I would be lying if I didn't say it was a good feeling to have myself move that much closer to getting gear for myself too. For this LS I think I will do the smarter thing and instead of just sitting on points like I always used to do I plan on getting what I can, while I can. Although, some of this gear seems to be almost free dropping which would cut the point costs greatly so I may just stick to hoping they free drop to me for a minimal point loss.
Tonight is more RL stuff and then more sky. I may actually try to gear up my PLD tonight too. PLD will be my next job and I might as well get it ready because next week I will have oodles of more free time which means I can go exp again. I guess I will shoot for PLD at 50 by the end of next week maybe since my gf will be around this weekend and then I will have sky stuff late nights which is usually when I get the most exp in.

Fun with New Friends
I got a good laugh out of this story that I am going to tell but I will talk about it when I get to it in chronological order.
Started off the night by going to play volleyball ... after playing some Rock Band 2 of course. Then after getting online and looking for a party no one was biting on getting a THF so of course I played some more RB2. I actually unlocked a bunch of new venues and songs, but after I played my last 3 song gig I had enough stars to go for my plane! So tonight I will be going for my plane to open up the rest of the world to go around and make some new fans and open LOTS more stuff in the game.
At about 11:30 someone FINALLY invited me to their party. I was pumped, even though I did have to pause a song and screwed up a little because I wanted to make sure I got into the party. Once the party was together we went out to Quicksand Caves and there was a party there so we pulled back a little and tried our luck even though that is really a 1 party camp. At the start I was being nice and letting the other THF pull more mobs because their party was their 1st and I did feel a little bad. A little while later while me and the other THF were waiting for mobs to respawn I made a funny by saying, "I wish these mobs repopped like Colibri." Apparently that's when I set off the other THF because he responded with, "That's why this is a 1 party camp you assholes." Obviously I took offense to being called an asshole, so I did what any other "asshole" would do. I stopped being nice and kept out pulling him on EVERY mob that we tried to pull at the same time. Well if he's going to call me an asshole I might as well act like it right?
What was also amusing is that the THF kept checking me and checking me, I swear he had a macro to check me. Seriously, he checked me about 15 times in about a 15 min span, which was at least 2 times every time he wasn't engaged. Sadly for him he was trying to make fun of my gear which I admit was under par but I was still doing hella damage with my SA's and SATA's which I found a nice medium with since there was no 2nd voker for the PLD. I would SA at the start then SATA the SAM later on because if nothing else he could take a hit or two. Not to mention no one could even come close to what my WSs were doing because my high was about 420 and anyone else's was about 180. So even with my level 28 Archer's Knives I was still doing some awesome damage. That's one of the things that other THF kept trying to make fun of me for, he said "Nice daggers", and I replied with "Thanks, level 28 ftw", and he then responded with, "I was being sarcastic goofy." At that point I wasn't sure if he was trying to be funny or poke fun at me again, but knowing me, I took it as a compliment that I was still better than he was. :D
To top this whole story off, his party left about 2 mobs before mine did and that's when I realized that he was a 75 THF that was level syncing down to level 47. WHAT A RETARD! He was wearing a bunch of high level gear and I don't think he realizes that most of that high level gear doesn't sync down very well, OH WELL. So does that still make me a better THF than him?
Today I have some more RL stuff after work which means I won't be able to get online until about 9 or so tonight. I'm really hoping that I can at least hit 49 on my THF so I can just go to Gustav to solo pets instead of going all the way out to Cape Teriggan. So if I do hit 49 on THF tonight I'm going to stop it there and swap to my DRG and go kill some pets because I need to get my DRG to 50 so I can start popping those coffers and complete some AF.
On a side note, I am hoping Hybrid will be back this weekend because he has had some RL issues with moving and "stuff" but he will be back. Which means I will have my exp buddy back! ... hopefully :D
And while I'm talking about friends ... Disdain get your sorry butt back in game already!!!

Rock Band 2
Last night I had VERY little time to do anything in game because I had so much RL crap to take care of. I got home and mowed my lawn, then went somewhere for a couple hours, then came home and did some QUICK cleaning in my room so my brother, another guy, and myself could sit down and play Rock Band 2.
We ended up unlocking a bunch of stuff on RB2 since they are both pretty good at RB1 so it was pretty easy for them to just pick up some of the newer songs. As for me I was trying to up my skills and struggling with some of the Hard on guitar and vocals, but I barely got to play the drums because my brother and the other guy were a lot better than I was. We opened up a couple new cities and new venues but the thing that was cool that we opened up was the Van we got. Just before we got the Van we also got a manager and were able to hire some people to help promote our band, Blue Balls.
Yes, the name of my band is Blue Balls. There is a little back story to the name but basically we had to come up with a name this weekend while I was at my gf's sister's house and Blue Balls is the name of the drink that my gf came up with that is actually pretty good (Blueberry Vodka, Sprite and Cranberry Juice). So we chose Blue Balls because it was one of the quick names that was spouted out while we were brain storming.
In Rock Band 2 right now I'm just really going for unlocking all the songs. There are still a limited number of songs that I recognize so it is kind of tough for me to really WANT to play all of these songs. Some of the newer songs do sound pretty cool though that I haven't heard before. One of the songs I still haven't played yet that just sounds cool from the preview is the Panic! at the Disco song.
As far as FFXI goes ... I think I'm going to be joining Sush's LS because I have a ton of sky gear I need/want and its about time I found an LS like his that supposedly does 4-7 Kirins a week! He wants to push for 9 Kirins a week but that is pretty rediculous. Plus the weekly payouts would be awesome because I can always use the gil, ALWAYS. I am hoping that joining his LS will be a good change of pace because honestly I'm getting a little bored with just exping alllllll the time. What is also nice about his LS is that its not mandatory. So if I do get the drive to exp again, I can. I think it will be nice to actually have good gear to be looking forward to because I hear that some of the Shura gear is just free dropping now which will definitely be benefitial to me because I don't know exactly how their lotting rules are, like if I have to have a job at a level to actually use the gear. Eh, whatever, I'll just join and see how it goes I guess.

We ended up unlocking a bunch of stuff on RB2 since they are both pretty good at RB1 so it was pretty easy for them to just pick up some of the newer songs. As for me I was trying to up my skills and struggling with some of the Hard on guitar and vocals, but I barely got to play the drums because my brother and the other guy were a lot better than I was. We opened up a couple new cities and new venues but the thing that was cool that we opened up was the Van we got. Just before we got the Van we also got a manager and were able to hire some people to help promote our band, Blue Balls.
Yes, the name of my band is Blue Balls. There is a little back story to the name but basically we had to come up with a name this weekend while I was at my gf's sister's house and Blue Balls is the name of the drink that my gf came up with that is actually pretty good (Blueberry Vodka, Sprite and Cranberry Juice). So we chose Blue Balls because it was one of the quick names that was spouted out while we were brain storming.
In Rock Band 2 right now I'm just really going for unlocking all the songs. There are still a limited number of songs that I recognize so it is kind of tough for me to really WANT to play all of these songs. Some of the newer songs do sound pretty cool though that I haven't heard before. One of the songs I still haven't played yet that just sounds cool from the preview is the Panic! at the Disco song.

Rock On!
This was a weekend filled with gf distractions. She came into town again and I got some time to myself on Saturday but that was it. Basically I had time to log on, do escort, and craft some food for Beerman. Other than that I got nothing accomplished in game.
As for other game news though, Sush got his W Legs last night ... thus pushing me that much further into the depression of not having that item that I wish I could have more than just about any other item in the game. Don't get me wrong, its not the best piece of gear in the game, but its that piece of gear that I feel I need to truly make my RDM GOOD. Yes, its only movement speed +12% and some other basically worthless stats, but its just that item that I hold near and dear to my heart for some ungodly reason. We all have those items right? What's yours you 3 people that read my blog? (Interactive blog today, isn't that awesome!)
As for Sunday, yeaaaaaaaaaah, I got a new toy, Rockband 2. I have a feeling I'm going to be draining some of my FFXI time into that game which in turn should hopefully bring my spirits back up about FFXI. Just in the first day that I've had the game, I already feel that I'm getting better on the drums and the guitar, but the damn vocals I still suck at because I can't remember words for the life of me. Singing is so hard for me because I don't know HALF of the songs in that game so I'm sitting there humming like a retard. For the guitar and drums its really easy for me to pick up the rhythm and be able to hit the notes ... I know, a white guy with rhythm doesn't sound right does it? I still have some work to do on my comfort level of guitar because hitting that 5th button for hard is well, hard.
Tonight I have a lot of stuff to do around my house because I didn't get ANYTHING done around my house because my gf was in town. I have the lawn to mow, bathroom to clean, my room to clean including doing laundry, and more video games to play! Hopefully the rest of the night I can get some exp in and maaaaaaaaaybe finish off my THF tonight or even just work towards finishing it off because I really want to move on to another job already.
