A semi different look?

So was really bored last night (well morning for you americans) and I was camping Fafnir on my lonesome (well until Bako came to hang out with me of course!), and I decided to play with my blog a bit. I added a banner to the title, I made it all myself, Tz you'd be proud of my newb picture making skillz! hehe. And I added some ffxi game and character info for myself on the right hand side, for all the nosy readers out there wondering "Omg! I wonder what jobs and missions and shit she has?!?!?!" cuz I know ur thinking it, even if ur not saying it amirite??

Anywayyyy... Just a short update, keeping in line with my "shorter posts, more often" ambitions, I haven't been up to much in Vana'diel lately due to work and irl committments, and I doubt I will be on much until next week, as I am working early tomorrow so will miss the event, and again the next day, and on Thursday I fly out interstate for a mini holiday. I'm very much looking foward to it, I feel like lately I really need a bit of time off. And not just time of work, time away from everything here, including FFXI. I'm only gone four days, but I am sure that it will make a huge difference in how I am feeling lately. Sometimes a holiday is as good as.. well.. a holiday! As they say?

I dug up this old pic that I used as an old signature back when I was a newbie WHM on Ifrit. On my first day in sky I was so overawed by how beautiful it was up there I wanted to take a nice picture. So I went back the second time (and for those of you that are perceptive, yes, I did get zenith crown on my first day, it was rotting in my old LS lol) and took some what I thought at the time, artsy pictures and this one was my favourite. I had since come to loathe sky, I think I managed to either get myself killed, or someone else got me killed at least twice every single run.

Ahhh.. Memories...!


As for stuff I did so far this week and weekend:


Killed Omega again and we got some sweet drops, Congratulations to Diogi for Homam body, Wolftamer for Homam legs, and Baldersnatch for Homam head. I mean Balderach, I'm sorry, the nick name is growing on me >.<;; You know we loves you Baldy! *hugs*



And another Tiamat kill! Silly cow didn't drop anything good though, Grats to Dabtuls for Oxblood. Tiamat did say congrats to me for my new Gaiters though... Twice.... -.-; Serves me right for going BLM for a change.. Bet if I went bard I wouldnt have died lol. I got drawn in once and got killed from some gay move, and then she got me a second time when i was weakened... sigh sigh... I'll have my revenge, next time my pretty...



lol @ dynamis beaudecine.. Getting charmga'd and having the whole LS chasing after Bani... Priceless. Gogo gadget gaiters!


Nice drops though in the end, it was a holiday here on that day so I only had to work a short afternoon shift, so made it to the end of the run for once. Took a crap picture and forgot to get a nice one, was too busy barding it up. It will do for the purposes of this blog though, and a big congrats to all the lucky winners.

Notably:
Reise on Corsair body!
Beanie on Blue Mage body!
Kyros and Eugene on Red Mage body! (completed set for Eugene, double grats)
and Cheeks on Sorcerer's Coat!

Some very very nice drops, not saying the other stuff is not good (cuz its not that good compared to the good stuff!!) but well you know. Tough bickies.

Thats all for the moment, going to see what sort of xp i can get on Paladin in campaign before going to hunt some kings, and then possibly bed time for me after that as I am working early tomorrow.

Love you all (well most of you! lewls) have fun be good xxx

Aussie's run 12% faster!

A couple more things to update, I haven't been to many events this week due to work sadly, they are making me come in a lot earlier lately *saface*

But here are some things we did, and some stuff we got!


More sky, hehe. I have been trying to make a conscious effort to attend this event, as I usually don't go and sleep in (it starts at like 430am my time... But I have been getting up at like 530am or 6am to try and make it to at least the end half. I'd like to get some of the Martial gear for my Paladin too, so if I don't go I won't have a chance to lot on anything! lol. It's fun though, I enjoy the event.


We did 2 Byakko's but only got haidates on the 2nd pop, a big Congratulations to DUNGEE !!! Grats hon! I got myself some Earthen feet for my upcoming Warrior as well, it went to free lot so I thought why not?


Ahhh Kirin Kirin Kirin. I was able to stay for 2 of these before I had to jet to work, Grats to Weedeater for W.Legs and Grats to Coberst on Osode (And Dramion Osode from last week!!)


OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG

That was a fairly accurate picture of what was going through my head the other day.

Herald's Fucking Gaiters ftmfw.

Srsly.

THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS!!!!

I was sooo surprised when I received them, but oh so grateful. <333333333333333

Thanks so much again, any of you guys reading this. I do realise now I'm a slave to WW, however I love you guys, so thats ok XD jk



This morning woke up just in time to help out on Sarameya ZNMs, I think we had 4 pops but I had to go after 2. The drops weren't that good from what I understand, I got myself a shiny new hat though, thanks guys! Will be a nice addition to my resting set, particularly for BLM.


I was heaps tired this morning, went out for dinner last nite with my friend Emma, we went to this gorgeous french restaurant in the city called The Corner Bistrot. Absolutely amazing. We both loved it, it was so great. Beautiful french food and sexy waiters mm... Very nice. Then we went to the casino for a few drinks in the lounge bar, I felt really bad because I'm on a short week financially due to going on holidays next weekend interstate, so I didn't want to spend too much money, but Emma insisted on plying me with cockatails all night, I was quite drunk by the time I stumbled home. Good times though, can't wait to go back to that restaurant <3

Anyway, just looking forward to a relaxing rest of the weekend, had to work this afternoon (on a saturday!) but I have the whole day off tomorrow.

I'm getting really annoyed with ffxi atm, am trying to do Beseiged and it keeps freezeing the game on me to the point where I have to shut down and log back on... Potentially losing all my work in beseiged, unless I can stay in there long enough to build up the points again... Crossing fingers. I turned off WMP incase that is whats glitching it.

Anyways... hoping to bring you all a quicker update next time so that I will actually remember what it is we have been up to.

Loves you all... zoom zoom!
