Happy Holidays!!

Well... Guess what I got for Christmas???

5 Pounds!! WOOT! I SOOOOOOO happy!! *rolls eyes*

However, it can only be expected because I sat around and played Final Fantasy XI almost the entire time...

And here's the photo gallery:

First off, here's Mykal trying to get 100 kills with this SLOW-ASS Greatsword to become a Dark Night. I found it appropriate to be wearing my Santa Hat when delivering MASSIVE DAMAGE to the little bees.



Everyone in my LinkShell (a group of friends that work together to fight stuff) got together and took a Christmas picture (I'm sitting):





And then we did the conga:



Here's a pics of one of the Bastok Fountains:



Some pics of Mykal (sorry some are dark):

Sassy headband:



My sassy red hat:



Taking a break:





Remember the pics of the radioactive squirrel? Here's some of the other things you can call upon to help ya out (they're called avatars):

Titan:



Bad-ass Ramuh:



Leviathan:



Ifrit:



And my FAVORITE, Shiva!!

Photo Shoot #2!!

Let me introduce you to my 'mule.' His name is Myk and he's from Windy. He is a Taru-Taru and one HELL of a magic user!!




Myk is a seller of many things and stores gear for Mykal and Kale. Here he is sitting near the Auction House in Windy trying to sell some wands that Mykal had just made.

It's Starlight Celebration time in Vana'diel and all of the cities are decorated.

Here's the Bastok Fountain:


Here's a couple of shots Sandy:

So, I have mentioned the job of Summoner. You get to call forth Carbuncle to help you fight. Once you become more powerful, you can seek out elemental Avatars to help you too. Here's some summoning shots.

Beginning summoning:


Almost done:


Mykal and Carby:

CM is staying put.

He decided not to apply for the job in LA.

We had our Christmas night on Friday. We hit Palamino and it was FANTASTIC!! I had a Pepperoni pizza (i was craving it) and CM had Lobster Ravioli. That was good too!

We opened gifts and he bought WAY too much for me, but it was fun just to exchange gifts with him. We watched 'Dazed and Confused' (one of his presents) then I had to get to bed because I had to work on Saturday.

We went out Saturday night. It was a quiet night, but I still heard one too many 'woof's directed at me. I had a GREAT time, but a crazy day at Target then crazy people at the bar... just got to be too much.

It was a good weekend until Sunday. I lost a very important connection. I was disappointed and it just colored my whole day. This isn't a good place for me to be, but I'm hoping the connection can be created again...

CM is looking...

For a new job, that is!!

He's got a friend who's talked him up for a National Student Leadership position, and CM has already talked with the guy who's got some pull with the organization. That's a good thing!

It'd be a really good job for him since he's been in Student Government in college and in High School (i think).

I think CM is down-playing it to me tho... Why? Because the position is located in Los Angeles.

More on this later...

X-mas with CM

Tonight we're celebrating our Christmas together. Dinner at Palamino, Gifts at his house, and then I'm gonna crash at his place and fight Niblets for a spot on the bed.

I'm VERY excited!!

Yes Dan, I am a geek!

And had I remembered to grab the OTHER screenshots I made last night, I'd have yet ANOTHER post with pictures of my game!!

Last night they started the Holiday missions and one of them gives you a Santa hat that you can wear!! I was too consumed in trying to make stuff and level up my woodworking skill.

Final Fantasy XI Photo Shoot!

Here's my character. His name is Mykal (pronounced like Michael) and he's a level 36 Bard... THE Notorious B.R.D on the Lakshmi server!! I have other jobs too: White Mage (healer), Black Mage (offensive magic), Thief (ummm... a stealer guy), Summoner (fighting with a radioactive squirrell) , Ranger (Have bow, will kick your ass), Red Mage (de-buff KING) and still working on unlocking/developing the others...


Such a stud!!


Yes, That's a Tattoo!!


Me and the RARE red moon!!


The Windhurst Woods Holiday Fountain!


Making Arrows!


Making Arrows near a Crawler! Those little bastards drop silk thread... MUCHO money from selling those!!


A couple of Taru Taru selling their wares.


Here is Aslaan (Level 73 Paladin) kicking ass and taking names!! He helped me and Maori complete one of our required Missions. Now I'm one step closer to getting that Airship Pass. WOOT!!

I MUST HAVE THIS!!

Call me what you will, but I MUST own this:

YEAH!!

The building I work in FINALLY got the heat fixed... I'm not sitting in a 58 degree (and breezy) cube anymore!!

We have these wents along the windows and for the past few COLD days they've been blowing cold air!! I shouldn't have to wear a sweatshirt AND a down jacket to stay warm at work!

Now I am toasty! Thank you building people!!

GOOD GOD!!

Even our Humanitarian efforts are all effed up!!

COME ON, W!! Get a clue!! I'm beginning to wonder if he's trying to set a record for most number of people killed due to arrogance/ignorance while in his stay at the White House...

Blade: Trinity

Hmmm... It was a good, action packed kinda movie. Lots of gratuitous body shots of Dominic Purcell and Ryan Reynolds!! That made it more entertaining.

Some of the comedy and one-liners were AWESOME!! Lots of holes in the story tho...

It's not too bad a movie, but DON'T pay full price!

*Mental Note*

If I'm going to be walking to work this winter, I need to invest in some thermal undergear... My ass is STILL frozen from the walk in this morning.

And CM... I NEED those gloves!!

Movie Time!!

I've GOTTA see this movie!!

12 Days of Christmas for your True-love?

Think again!

Here's the cost break-down.

Random-ness

Sooooo... My friend 'Lil Mike (not CM, but another cutey) called and wrote me an e-mail last night and I got a good chuckle out of it!

He and his roommate watched Blade 3 (why they watched it at all will be the first question I ask them) and in the movie is Dominic Purcell. *SWOON*

Apparently, 'Lil Mikey's roommate became obsessed with D.P. and did a google search on him and guess what they found:



That's right!! They found me on Google!! I guess I should be careful what I say on here, huh?

Hola Chicas!

Hmmm... feels like I've not done this for some time, but it's like riding a bike so expect me to fall off sometime during the post! :-)

Let's see... X-mas shopping is in full-swing!! I have presents for CM and... umm... lemme check...

YIKES!!

NOT GOOD!

I have Carlos, Mom, Dad, Travis, Dylan, Casey, Sydney, Joe, Penny... Yuna, Akima and Sadie... Niblets... I should get Sahara and Tim something because I KNOW Sahara will get me something... Stocking stuffers for Carlos and the pups, and Mom, Dad, Darcy, Terry, Heidi and Chad...

Ugh... just when I thought I was on top of my game...

I need to re-group with myself and figure this out.

I. feel. icky...

Cold Friday Fun!!

Make a snowflake!!

Thanks to BRL for the link!

Fucking Opportunists!!

I'm with Mighty, these people are the lowest of the low...

Get the word out to your peeps and let them know to voice their disapproval at ANY retailer that sells the fake ones....

Yumm #8 -- Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy

I have a new apprieciation for Cowboy Hats and all that's underneath them...
