Byakko, Charybdis, & Breanna, oh my!

I really love how easy it is to combine my youtube video blog with my blog. I'm probably going to be using this format a lot more often. I hope you guys enjoy it, and any feedback would be nice. I also wouldn't mind nice ratings and comments to you videos in my youtube channel, so keep that in mind if you aren't too busy!



I recorded this video a couple hours before the window for Charybdis reopened. Then, we went and camped it and it wound up popping right away. There was a group of three people there, including a tarutaru RDM70, a hume THF75 and an elvaan NIN75. The thief, with absolutely no haste gear and less evasion than me is not someone I could really see duoing Charybdis, so I can understand why he feels more confident pairing up with a Ninja. However, the Ninja in this party was an absolute travesty in both equipment and skill.
When Charybdis popped, they claimed it very quickly with Steal. It literally popped right on the Thief, so they had a great opportunity to get it. I was keeping up Fire Maneuver with Strobe equipped on my Automaton to claim with Deploy & Ventriloquy. Deploying an Automaton with Strobe equipped and Fire Maneuver up causes it to immediately provoke and Ventriloquy completes the claiming process, shifting the enmity onto the master. Needless to say, they won claim fair and square.
I think they managed to get Charybdis down to 96% health before they wiped. Their attempt was an absolute nightmare. Because they were weakened, it was no problem for Breanna and I to get songs on, eat food, and set ourselves up for the fight. The first few moments were, unfortunately a little rocky, because unlike our first kill, I didn't have TP at the start of the fight this time and she immediately pulled hate with Elegy. However, I was able to stabilize the fight once I got TP. I positioned my automaton out of range so it wouldn't feed Charybdis TP and everything went smoothly after that. I was a bit stupid a couple of times and took some nasty hits, but nothing that really concerned me.
The other group, of course, waited, hoping we'd wipe. I wanted to speed up the fight a little and asked the RDM70 for Haste, but he refused. Oh well, it's not like I needed it. It just takes a while to hack through all of Charybdis' hit points as a single, melee job who relies on a pet to be a good portion of their damage over time. With my automaton set up as Soulsoother, there was even more work for me as the only damage dealer in the group.
Anyways, this was just an update that we did get the next Charybdis pop and Breanna got herself a Joyeuse, as well. I tried to insist she take the first one and even encouraged her to lot, but she was a total sweetheart and passed it anyway. I was really happy to get it because I wanted it for my Dancer. I was, also, really happy we were able to get her a Joyeuse only 8½ hours after I got mine. We sure had a lot of fun, today!

Kimberly's Contest Giveaway!

I'm just twittering along and I get a direct message from Kimberly Miller, this cute chick I'm following about a contest giveaway that she's having. In fact, I'll just quote the whole damn message!

tmww I'm giving away $75 e-card to Wal-mart or Target (or a Visa/Mastercard card if you would rather have that). Just paying it forward. Rules here - http://is.gd/YSBW

Well, I love free stuff, so I check it out! The rules were pretty simple, and what was even more nifty is she provided opportunities to cast up to four additional entries by subscribing to her feed and simply spreading the word about the contest. I already completed the requirements for the main entry by following her blog and commenting the post about the give away. I also completed three of the additional entry opportunities by subscribing to her feed with Google Reader, posting her to my del.icio.us account, and tweeting her @tmww. Posting about the giveaway in my blog will be my fourth additional entry for a total of five chances!
I ain't the luckiest gal in the world but, what the hell? I don't know about the rest of ya'll, but I can definitely think of a few, nice ways to spend $75. Good luck!

Someone Who Loves Me

I've been meaning to talk about this for a while now. It's definitely not something that is easy to put in words. I've been practicing on my friends, and I've gotten pretty good at it, so I think I might actually be able to make a coherent post about the whole situation. Two weeks ago, this would have probably come out as the gushing, garbled nonsensical happiness I've been barraging my friends with. Hopefully, it'll make sense, today.

"Forget the risk, take the fall. If it's what you want then its worth it all." -My little sister, Kellie's personal quote; though I'm sure she got it from somewhere.

On the first of June, I made this post on the FFXIAH.com forums. After Noel and I fell apart, which I really saw coming for weeks, I realized that "love" isn't just going to come out of the blue and find me. That, coupled with my relatively lonely 29th birthday put a lot of pressure on me to put myself out there a little more and see if there really is someone special out there waiting for me. Besides, how are they going to find me if they don't know I exist, right? Clearly, this is sound logic.
I'd never planned on actually considering anyone who really uses those forums. Over time, as I got to know many of them, I knew none of them were really for me. I was hoping that someone that used the forums would know someone and pass the information along. I got a few suggestions, but there were clear incompatibilities that would ultimately lead to dead ends. I'm not looking for just-a-date.
I hadn't been having any luck with girls, so I decided that I was going to try opening the door for guys, again. That doesn't mean I was closing the door on girls, I just wasn't sure how to feel about them anymore. I hadn't dated a guy since early 2005, so this was a pretty big deal for me. I really thought my soulmate would be a woman, but I wasn't having any luck finding her.
Of course, I got a bunch of nonsense for posting it. Most people said it was a complete waste of time. Others just used it as an opportunity to make personal attacks. There were even a few that thought I was just posting another one of my goofy pranks, though, I was able to convince them after posting an audio recording that I was serious.

Well I know you've probably received a bunch of these :3 but I was scanning over some of the forums - which I rarely do - and at first I was thinking it was a joke, but after reading and listening to everything you had to say I REALLY hope you can find someone who makes you happy ;] I can totally understand 'giving up' on women, for I'm there with you, and I'm sorry that it hasn't worked out for you so far, but I'm sure everything will for you. ALSO, from a fellow gemini:p happy belated birthday :)
Much <3,>

I got that message on June 2 at 6:22 in the morning, and I just happen to be awake because I have Einherjar early in the morning with a JP Linkshell. It really stood out and I was so anxious to send a reply I kept it nice and short and hoped for a response. I just wanted to let her know, as soon as possible, that I hasn't given up on women, I just redacted my giving up of men.

Aww, thanks :) Well, I'd still date a woman, I'm more or less just trying to open the door for anyone and keep my options open.

:) So........... are you single? :)

My response was mostly delayed due to Einherjar. I got to go Puppetmaster that day, so I was a bit distracted. It's not one of those jobs you can just just engage and go do something else while auto-attack does all the work.

hmm, yeah I am. lol

That was a really agonizing wait! I must have refreshed my inbox a thousand times for that response! Then, I went and took a nap to come back to that. At this point, I really want to talk to this girl so badly it's driving me crazy.

oh REALLY!

haha got MSN?

Subject: RE: !

Yep, *****@ymail.com - ya not hotmail.com lol

After that, we took our conversation over to MSN and this eventually led to a phone call. Oh, and yes, I censored her e-mail. Go find your own girlfriend. Anyways, we would talk all night until we literally both passed out, only to wake up and still be on the phone with each other. Quite frankly, we've not been getting as much sleep doing this, but we just can't stop! There were still some things that we had to discuss for me to be sure this was really the person I'd have been searching for, but I couldn't help how I was feeling. Apparently, neither could she, because at 2:34 in the morning on June 5th, we finally burst, sharing our first "I Love You" and, yes, I looked at the clock the moment it happened.
We kept on talking every moment we had the chance. There were several moments where one of us was sure we'd scared the other one off, but that was never the case. I'm not completely sure about her, but I know I definitely tried. Of course, I didn't want to scare her off, but I wanted to be honest about how I felt and what I wanted in life, and genuine about who I am and the things I believe in. Well, we're still together, and I've run out of stuff to scare her off with so it looks like she's stuck with me!

"Someone Who Loves Me, Went to LAS VEGAS And Gave Me This Poodle"

She took a trip to Las Vegas with her mom and while she was there she bought me a present! When she told me she got me something I asked her not to tell me what it is and to just send it to me! I love surprises! Fast forward to today, and I finally got it in my mail! It's a plush, pink poodle, with the above message stitched on the front. I don't want to get off track, but her mom raises poodles, so it's not a completely random thing.
I carefully opened the box, cutting only the tape on the bottom, because there were postal stickers on the top. Yep, I'm the type of person that saves everything, and I was definitely going to save this box. Well, it turns out, she didn't have any paper when she was at the post office, so she wrote a letter with a marker on the bottom flaps. I was too busy going crazy over this adorable pink poodle, that I didn't even notice it. I did look in the box but I didn't see anything else and I didn't flip open the bottom flaps!
Well, I went and texted her phone with MSN about how excited I was and how much I love her. I was so excited, I even called her voicemail to tell her. I knew she was out of area, shopping in Boise, with her family, but I just had to send a voicemail! That's when she mentioned her ghetto letter. So, I run outside to reexamine my mailbox, and then I run back to my bedroom to reexamine the box it came in and that's when I read the bottom flaps! Because I opened the box backwards, the first half of the letter was on the right flap, and the second half was on the left flap. I read it a little backwards, but here's the letter as she had written it.

It's plain as day, I'm quite simply, the luckiest woman on the face of this planet. I have been going absolutely crazy since I've gotten this thing. I can't stop hugging it and squeezing it. I even have it sitting next to me on another chair just so I can keep it within reach without it falling on the floor. She just has no idea how stuck with me she really is! I'm going to marry this girl and spend the rest of my life with her!
In summary, everyone that said I was wasting my time creating this thread on the forums was dead wrong. Breanna doesn't exactly post or participate in the forums, but on that morning, she was poking around, saw what I'd posted and was compelled enough to reply and introduce me into her life. It wasn't what or how I'd expected this all to happen, but it was certainly worth it. I simply put myself out there, I took a risk that I was both attacked and mocked for, and it paid off. Now, if ya'll haters will excuse me, I have a lifetime of happiness to share with Breanna.

Diabolos.Vontomczak

It's time to have a bit of fun, today, kids. You see this fat, nigger fuck? Originally, that image is from here where he posted it on the FFXIAH.com forums. As some of you may know, I tend to joke around a lot about guys. For example, if it has a dick it's taking up too much space. Yeah, I'm strange like that. Generally, my comments are pretty harmless, and all in good fun. I hear plenty of jokes from you guys about how I need to make a sandwich or suck the bottom half of your dick from the back, so it ain't like this goes both ways.

Now for the fun part. Personally, I think women body builders are a bit hot. I've checked them out on youtube and watching the little clips has taught me a few things about the body building world. For example, I can tell the only thing this fat fuck lifts is donuts to his fat cock-sucking mouth.

For all you ladies out here, this is what that anal grubbing, knob gobbling, cum dumpster is trying to do. As you can see, he has absolutely no defined bicep peak. It's just a flat line with absolutely no definition what-so-ever. In the video below, featuring the lovely Klaudia Larson, we have a little contrast for you. As you can see, there's no reason why Vontomczak should think he's trying to impress anyone when there's clearly plenty of women out there that make it obvious just how much of a cock flossing faggot he really is.



Now, let's get into the reality of this shit and explain what Vontomczak, is attempting to do. He's apparently trying to make that 30" roll of whale meat he has for arm look sexy to lure skinny, hairy man fags onto his lonely, ass plundering nancy stick. By simply squashing his forearm next to his non-existent bicep and twisting his wrist to show the definition of his forearm blubber where he pins it between his imaginary bicep and the radius. He's simply trying to create the optical illusion that he knows what the fuck he's doing, but in reality, the only work-out he's ever done is reaching around to finger the faggot's ass that's packing his shit. Also, I think he drives a Ford Focus.

Now, it takes a bit of work to make a whole fucking post about someone being a complete fucking douchenozzle, and this probably wasn't worth the effort. But, at least I had fun. And Klaudia Larson has just succeeded at making me really super horny so I'm going to go lay down and jill myself off.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Yep, it's my 29th, birthday, today! It's actually been a pretty decent day. I've gotten so many wonderful birthday wishes I can't even keep track of them. As some of you may know, my original plans got canceled, however, my friends and family still managed to make it a pretty special day. I've even put together a little video to show my appreciation!

Happy Memorial Day!

I didn't really have anything to do, today, yet I still managed to find something to talk about in a new video for youtube. Sure, I'm pretty much just rambling, but it was fun all the same. I got some pretty wonderful compliments out of it, so I'm glad I made it. I hope you all enjoy it!

Countdown

I find myself counting down the days to the day where I'll literally be counting down to the end of my twenties. Next Friday, on May 29th, is my 29th birthday. I can honestly say it's not near as scary as turning 20. I even looked forward to being 21. Sure, I missed being a teenager, but it was very liberating to think I'd soon have all the privileges of being an adult.
I was really dreading this, to be honest. It's not about being 30, that I have a problem with, though. It's about not being where I thought I'd be the time I got there. I don't have any kids, and I don't own a house. I didn't go back to school to get my teaching certificate. Worst of all, I was single and I didn't want just anyone, I wanted to find my soulmate.
However, for the first time in years, I actually feel like I'm on the right track. I'll be going back to school in a few months and my girlfriend and I are looking to get a place together until we can make the transition into a real house. It finally feels like I'm not standing still as life just passes me by.
My life really changed, last year, when I met Noel. Before that, I'd lost interest in my hopes and dreams. Yet, here's this girl, working so hard to make her own dreams come true. She had this amazing energy and I'm still a bit surprised that we wound up together. Well, we clicked and even though we have a bit of an age difference we seem to be at very similar points in our lives and it looks like we're headed in the same direction.
Obviously, you can tell she's a very special person in my life. Turning 29, and eventually 30, is still a little scary, and it will be a splinter in the back of my mind as the days go by. Fortunately, there seems to be a lot more things to look forward to in the coming years, especially if me and Noel really do make it. Maybe my 30s will turn out to be the best years of my life. Stay tuned!
