This isn't going to be a full post so the format will be a little different. It'll also be a little shorter than usual since it has only one subject.
This post is dedicated to good friends of mine from Final Fantasy XI - Spicecake and Hexis. Today, I received a present from them which just shows how generous they are. It was a great piece of armour for my Samurai which will help me out very much since it has an accuracy upgrade.
Thank you to Hexis for pointing it out to me. /bow And, thank you, to Spicecake too, not only for giving me the present, but also for being such a good friend over the time I've known you. You've helped me out and cheered me up so many times. I owe you so much. Honto arigatou gozaimashita! /bow

The Assassination Play
As per usual recently, I've been playing a lot of Final Fantasy XI. This is probably because I have no job at the moment. /laugh I just can't find a damn job! /fume I've been trying everywhere - Tesco, WH Smith, Waterstones, HMV, even McDonalds - but nowhere wants me... What the hell is wrong with me exactly?! I can't do a stupid McDonalds job after 5 years in a fast food outlet? Stupid sods! Gah, I'm going to try Tesco again, they have some vacancies once more so I'll try for one of them. Job hunting is so tedious....
World Championship Snooker is back on television again. I always look forward to snooker when it's on. It's an enjoyable sport to watch. I'm always rooting for Stephen Hendry to win. I would love to see him win one more world title, just to show that he's a true master of the game. I also support Marco Fu and Steve Davis, they're good to watch. I have a feeling that Ronnie O'Sullivan will win it again this year, he's just too good. But with this game you never know who will come out on top after the final. Should be interesting.
It's getting towards May now, I'd better complete my application for university soon. I still haven't written my stupid 'personal statement' yet. I'm too lazy... I'd best get it done soon though, can't spend another year doing nothing.

Should be back to Final Fantasy XI after the server maintenance is done. Almost got to level 50 so I'm finally reaching a point in the game I'm happy with. Also have a linkshell party this Friday and I'm looking forward to that. Until next time, ja ne!

O-Jama Shimasu!
Bah! I hate it when the internet browser decides to crash on you just as you're writing something important. /fume I'm having enough trouble trying to stay vigilant and continue with the posts on here without Netscape attempting to stop me! /laugh
The days of playing too much Final Fantasy XI are continuing. I have been stuck at level 43 for about a week now though. I just haven't been playing at the times when most people are partying. And when I do get an invite I'm busy helping someone in the linkshell. /laugh Hopefully I'll be able to make level 44 sometime tonight or tomorrow.
I had a little visit to my old stomping ground of Ragnarok Online before. That was my first go at an MMORPG and I loved that game. I regret the fact that I no longer play it but there wasn't much choice, my friends that I knew on there no longer have time to play that game and have moved onto the likes of World Of Warcraft and Anarchy Online (neither of which I fancy playing). It's still good to log on every now and again to play my character. And it's been far too long since I contacted those friends so I may send them an e-mail once I've finished here.
Ever since Narusegawa from my linkshell referred me to Stepmania I haven't been able to stop playing it! /laugh That game is very addictive. I managed to find most of the Dance Dance Revolution song packs from the internet and also Love Destiny by Horie Yui. I can handle most songs on 5 step difficulty but anything above and it goes wrong. I managed to do a perfect round on Love Destiny at 5 steps which I'm quite proud of. /laugh Took me hours to get every single step...
Precious Moment
There we go. I feel happy now that I've actually updated this blog. Nothing worse than starting something only to see it fade off and die in obscurity. Long may this continue!

Gah! It's April already! I can't believe that it's been so long since I wrote anything on here. I've been a bit preoccupied with playing Final Fantasy XI. Hence I've been getting very little sleep! /laugh
A Great Transformation?
Well, let's see, what has happened the past few days? To be honest, not very much! /laugh Not in the real world anyway. Final Fantasy XI has been a lot of fun since I came back from my break. The current linkshell I am in is very enjoyable, and the people there are very kind and helpful. I must thank Gadritan for helping me finally achieve Rank 5, Hydnarok for helping finally get my Artifact Great Katana, and Narusegawa for referring me to Stepmania.
I haven't actually tried this Stepmania thing yet so I don't know what it's like. It's an imitation of the popular Dance Dance Revolution series by Konami. Apparently, there's a Stepmania version of a Horie Yui song - which is the only reason I wanted the game! /laugh I'll write more stuff about it when I've tried it out.
Melodic Hard Cure
That'll have to do for now, I don't really have much to report. Maybe things will get more exciting over the next few days and I'll have a novel to write! /laugh
