Grand Cross!
18 May 2005
Just finished watching the last few epsiodes of Ragnarok: The Animation about 10 minutes ago. I enjoyed it very much. The ending wasn't what I had imagined but I think it worked pretty well. As I look back on the series I realise how many memories I am reminded of, and how much I enjoyed the game. I loved the constant references to the game during the anime and all the spells and moves from the game were a great touch. I'm glad I watched this series.
The Best Is Yet To Come
I received a letter from Tesco about a week after I handed in the application form. I bet you can't guess what it said. "We're sorry but there aren't any positions for which we find you suitable for".... I'm really starting to get annoyed with this rubbish! Why the hell can't I get a damn job? I swear it's discrimination.
It finally happened. The linkshell has somewhat died in FFXI. It's not really a death though, more of a transfer. All the old members from Guardians Of Vana'diel have transferred to the new linkshell, Guardians Reborn, which basically means not much has changed. The only thing is the symbolic nature of that linkshell. I hope you find what you are looking for, Hydnarok. Please don't forget us all.
Wrath Of Heaven
Not been a very good week for me, but I'll carry on regardless. It's all I can really do, until something comes along that I can actually look forward to. I hope it arrives soon.

Back again. Is this a surprise or what? Usually I take ages before I get around to writing any new posts but this time I'm a bit more motivated for some reason. Well, whatever it is it can't be a bad thing, right? /laugh
Mitochondrion Investigation And Suppression Team
Over the last few weeks I've begun to have a bit of a Sushi addiction. I'm regularly buying packs of Sushi from the supermarket each week and it's beginning to cost me a pretty penny. Each one costs £4.49 and is basically one meal. I bet this Sushi costs more than if I was on drugs or something! /laugh Maybe I should move onto Caviar....
Having reached level 50 last week, I've now completed Genkai I aswell. I got the final item, the Ancient Papyrus, last night with the help of a couple of Kyuss' friends. So now with that done I can get back to levelling up so I can have a chance to get my Artifact armour. Speaking of AF, I've hopefully got some help to do my AF feet, Myochin Sune-Ate, this Friday. It'd be good to have it completed and own 2 pieces of the armour. The rest of them are still going to be hell though... /sigh
Requiem
Friday 13th!! Argh! We're all going to die! Not really, I don't believe in all the superstitious stuff. But maybe I should avoid walking under a ladder today...

Must keep posts regular! I get terribly lazy about things sometimes. I keep putting it off, telling myself that I'll do it 'later' or 'tomorrow'. It usually turns out that when the time comes again I'll just say the same thing and, therefore, continue the delay. /sigh
Chu Chu Rocket!
More FFXI news coming up. Finally reached the grand level of 50 after a bit of a low period. Reaching this level has been one of my main aims since I started the game. I feel this gives me a comfortable ability to help people with things such as quests or missions. Now this has been accomplished, I can go for my next aim: level 60 and all of my Artifact Armour. I've already got my first piece - Myochin Haidate - which I did with the help of Darkhitman. The rest seem extremely hard though so I'm going to wait until I have a bit more help.
My application for Tesco is going to handed in today so maybe I'll have a job soon. I hope so because I'm at a bit of a loose end without any income. I'm praying that they'll give me a position in the store somewhere, I don't care where! /laugh Just give me a job or I'll cry!
Been watching Ragnarok: The Animation recently. It's pretty good. Certainly a lot of nostalgia when I watch it and remember the adventures I had on that game. The quality of the animation is probably a little on the average side but it's not too bad. Voice acting is OK, though I'm not too familiar with the seiyuu. Story is adequate but could use a bit more work to make it truly interesting. All in all, this is anime is probably only good if you're familiar with the whole Ragnarok Online saga. Otherwise you may get tired of it quite quickly.

Another post done and dusted. That wasn't too difficult now was it? /laugh I'll try to keep updates more regular but there's not telling how lazy I may be...

The severe annoyance that is caused by some idiot wanting to have some "fun" by using a DoS attack on FFXI's servers, makes me want to go hunt them down and hit them with a shovel.
"Maybe I Should Get Another?"
Just in case you don't know what a DoS is, I shall explain. DoS stands for 'Denial of Service' which basically is a method of denying someone a particular resource. In this case it would be to stop (or make it severely difficult for) anyone playing FFXI. Why the hell someone decides this is a worthwhile activity to perform is beyond me, but these people really do need to be given a long, painful beating to teach them a lesson. /angry /fume
Speaking of FFXI, I've been having a lot of trouble levelling up on that game recently. I just can't seem to get past level 47 for some reason. Every party I join seems to break up after a few fights and it's beginning to annoy the hell out of me. I've take some time out by helping a friend get their character to level 20. That's been a lot more fun than trying to make a party work when they just want quick EXP, not caring about anyone else. I think that's done me good. Today I'm really determined to pick up my Great Katana, Magoroku, and reach my level 48. Thank you Rhiana for cheering me up! /bow
The curse of MMORPGs has struck again. My friend, and the leader of our linkshell, Hydnarok, has decided to leave the game for good. I can't say that this makes me very happy - I've lost a lot of friends over the last few months like this - but it can't be helped. "Shouganai na..." as the Japanese would say. I only wish him the best in whatever he decides to do and hope he keeps in touch. There, now you're famous Hydnarok! /laugh
On A Bus To St Cloud
Time for me to go back to Vana'diel. Maybe I play that game too much, but I have nothing better to do at this moment in my life so I might aswell enjoy myself with some friends. Soredewa.
