So the story goes on down a less traveled road; it’s a variation on the one I was told.

Oct 5, 2009

It appears my attempt to continue to blog daily was foiled even before it began. I blame it mostly on Robby and my newest obsession (thanks to him) “Inuyasha“. It’s this Anime he’s got me hooked on that’s about a half demon, half human who wants to become a full demon using the power of a sacred jewel. Problem is the jewel was shattered into a million (if not more) pieces by a girl named Kagome, who is from the future. I’m absolutely addicted to the show and have managed to form a little crush on Inuyasha. I think it’s that whole assholish attitude though beneath he’s nothing but a teddy bear appeal that’s gotten to me. I have no idea why I find those type so attractive.

In other news, this weekend we’ll be heading out to San Diego for 5 days and I am completely thrilled. It’ll be good to see Vala and my friend Joe again because I haven’t seen either of them in forever and I’m looking forward to catching up. Plus, it will just be good to get out of Arizona for awhile and take a break from work. Speaking of work, I’m trying to see if I can switch over to e-mail permanently because I liked it much better then the phone. Plus, I prefer working the later hours, but I don’t think I’ll be switching any time soon, given that we’re able to hit our busy season and I’m sure they’ll need as many people on the phone as possible. I’m really not looking forward to it and if I seem even bitchier then normal, it’s because my bitterness has increased 50 fold. Oh well, such is life.

I’ve been playing a lot of Aion and am currently working on leveling 4 toons. What’s funny is the second toon I decided to level was a Gladiator who I fell in love with and as a result is making me hate my ranger, because of the slow class maturation rate. I do still plan on leveling her, but until she gets into the 20s, I think it’s going to be uber painful. Right now, I have a level 17 Ranger, 2 level 14 Gladiators, and 1 level 10 Priest. I also have a level 11 mage, but I don’t plan on leveling her any further because I find that I don’t really like the class. I know I’m strange. They’re just not for me.

A few posts back I had mentioned my mother possibly coming to live with us. That’s still a possibility but when she arrived back to her place of residence and I called her to try and get the ball rolling she told me she would call me when she was ready and I haven’t heard from her since. My sister just texted me asking when I planned on picking her up and I replied saying I would when she called to say she was ready. My sister then responded by telling me that my mom was hesitating (duh) and that I should plan on going there on a Thursday, going to see her PO so I could give her my address, and then whisk my mom back to Arizona. I responded by asking her how my mother felt about all this and that I wasn’t entirely comfortable having her stay with us if that’s not what she wanted. Yes, it’ll be the best thing for her, but at the same time she needs to have a say, it is her life. I still haven’t gotten a response. I don’t want her to think I’m trying to get out of it because I’m not, but I just don’t feel right going to get my mother if she’s not ready. I feel like I’d be kidnapping her. Maybe I’m just being silly.

Well, I’m off to go start on the homework that I should have turned in yesterday but didn’t. I swear I’m getting lazier and lazier– this does not bode well. Maybe I should take a 2 week break between this class and the next until I get my head on straight.

And I almost completely blew it.

Sep 30, 2009

So I almost blew it and didn’t make the last blog post, lol. Danika had to send me a text to remind me since Robby had me caught up watching “Inuyasha” lol. I still can’t believe that today is the last day of Project: Blog and that I managed to make it every single day, usually I fail hardcore at these, but with a bit of encouragement and motivation help for the members of Ecstasy, I managed to make it through. I’m really considering continuing with blogging every day but I’m not sure if I want to make that commitment. I suppose we’ll just have to see how it goes.

So I spent the last few days leveling both my Ranger and Gladiator. I’m really, really liking the Gladiator and I’m considered using her as my raider but I’m not sure. I’m thinking about rolling a priest because their always needed but I’m not entire sure. I guess we’ll have to see. So far I’m having a blast playing with Vala and hopefully we’ll be able to get out toons to cap and raid together. I just need to get Vent to work. *facepalm*

Frustration leads to a break.

Sep 29, 2009

One more day before Project: Blog is over. It’s beyond surreal and I still can’t believe I managed to make it this far! I don’t want to say I made it all the way yet because technically if I don’t blog tomorrow that won’t be the case. Lol.

Today was pretty mellow, I didn’t do much. Played a lot of Aion and then finally quit when a quest I was on frustrated the hell out of me so I had to walk away. I’m a bar away from being half way to 17, so I’m going to try and hit 17 before I head to bed tonight but we’ll have to say. After a lot of thought I think I’m just going to use my Ranger for PVP and then use my Warrior or roll a Priest for raids. We’ll have to see though. I’m not 100% decided.

I’m a bit saddened at how fast my days off go. I don’t know when things changed but it went to feeling like I actually had days off, to not feeling that way at all. Ugh, it sucks. Alright I’m off to watch Inuyasha with Robby. Tomorrow makes the last day of Project: Blog– who knows maybe I’ll continue with blogging daily since I’m in the habit of it now. We’ll definitely have to see.

Falling into the unknown

Sep 21, 2009

Well I almost completely blew Project: Blog because I got caught up in leveling in Aion. Thankfully Danika reminded me so I figured I would “pause” and get this blog in. The launch for Aion, well at least the Head Start launch, I felt was done well. Honestly, it could have been much worse and yes there were and still are queues, but honestly that’s to be expected. Would people honestly rather have the ability to log on with ever simultaneously causing the server to overload which prevents EVERYONE from playing? Yeah, I didn’t think so.

I’ve had my fair share of waiting. Sure it wasn’t 3 hours of waiting, but honestly if that was what I was faced with, I’d have walked away, put on a movie, made some dinner, or gotten other stuff done in between. I get that people want to play however the queues will disappear as the servers balance out. It just takes a bit of time which people aren’t willing to understand.

In any event, the game is awesome, the people are awesome and it’s a nice change of place. Definitely looking forward to the raids and instances. It’s sure to be kick ass.

You’re barely waking & I’m tangled up in you.

Sep 20, 2009

I’m writing this now while work is slow because I know once I get started on Aion, I’m not going to want to stop. I was able to finish my homework that was due today, last night so I have nothing keeping me from stopping, other then food and drinks, which I’ve already stocked up on. This is so going to be kickass, I can feel it. *nods*

I hate working Sundays because they’re always slow in the morning/mid-afternoon and then it tends to pick up around 1:30-2:00, EST, once the church goers have come home from lunch. It’s nice in a way because I get downtime in the morning and then the rest of my shift flies, but it also sucks because the mornings tend to drag. Right now I’m trying to get Saturday/Sundays off by doing a permanent shift swap, but we’ll see if that’ll happen. One can hope.

Tomorrow is the season premiere of House and Robby and I are looking forward to it. It’s nice to have our shows back even if it means no True Blood, but I plan on buying the second season so I can marathon it with Robby one night. I’m sure he’ll be thrilled to see my infatuation with Alex/Eric. He thinks I’m so silly with my man-crushes. Alright, I suppose I’ll end this hear and do something product, like twiddle my thumbs. Just kidding.

& now that I’m sitting here thinking it through, I’ve never been anywhere cold as you

Sep 19, 2009

Today has been a pretty shitty day. I’m still angered with Robby and his complete disrespect towards me, regardless of the fact that I have spoken to him about this particular matter and have told him how it makes me feel when he just ignores my requests. I haven’t spoken to him all day because I have no desire to speak to anyone who can’t show me any respect.

Tomorrow is Head Start for Aion so I need to finish all of my homework tonight because I highly doubt I’ll be up for stopping once I really get into the game. I’m really looking forward to it. It’ll be nice to be able to actually level and not have to stop just when I’m getting into it because I’m going to lose my characters. I’m also really happy that I managed to get my number one name for the game and also decided to risk deleting said toon and remaking her to how I wanted her to actually look without losing the name. I was originally going to wait until after Head Start began, but decided to risk it anyway!

I’m not going to lie and say I’m not avoiding homework because I am. I have no motivation to start or or do it and thus I’m looking at the clock wondering how much longer I can put it off before I have to do it. I have no idea when I became just a slacker, – but I suppose I’ll start it now since I have to do some skimming to make sure I’m actually doing the assignment now. WTB someone to do her homework.
