last beat in the soul
Posted in a bit of everything
I'm pretty happy with recent events, even if they were money-grubby. I got most of the stuff I wanted (and then some), bought for really cheap the one thing I didn't get, traded/sold off the crap I've been hoarding for the past two box events, and earned a little on the side. And I got a free WCP! I'd expected to farm for a lot longer to earn enough to buy one without cringing.
Almost makes up for not having time/energy to go online lol. Lately, after getting home from work, I've been replaying a bunch of my favorite PS2 RPGs instead: Persona 4, Shadow Hearts I and II, FFX—I have to say, stuff on the PS3 might look prettier, but they still can't beat the stories of the older games.

RO Story. Right. So I found a GTB scurrying around the Rocker map. I killed it and it... dropped...

OMG OMG OMG OMGZZZZZ--wait, what.
Then my alarm rang and, when lucidity finally caught up, I died a little inside. My dreams suck.
I think my subconscious was telling me I should go on RO. So I did, a bit. Or at least I tried to. Lag was really bad this weekend.

Level 80! I can finally use my shiny KvM bow. Which means Chiv until I get a million Raydric and AK cards (like antimony) and then I'll stay with TATACHOOOOS until I get enough lunas for several +7s, a Bone Head, or Renewal, whatever comes first.
Either way, I'm never going back to goats.

...Okay, maybe not never. I like my steady-ish income.
And I wanted to level my priest doing the ice titans REQ, but I was too scared to ask to join a party because I don't have the proper gear or build for ID. What if I lag and everybody dies and they'll all be mad and tell everyone they know, "Don't party that noob priest, he uses ME gear in Ice-freaking-Dungeon and can't support to save his life," and if I say that it's the only priest gear I have they'll go, "Great, he's poor, too," and I'll never find parties again—
So after depressing myself I went to druids instead.

base 75 (and job 40 around 5 minutes later). Fact: the angel is happier than I am
I would've gone to Sphinx, but I traded my Waynes for more boxes. I did get another set of KvM badges from those (4k badges total, yay) so it wasn't a complete waste!
Now if only I had more motivation to work on Agnus. I've forgotten how sucky soloing a priest is.
Now I face out, I hold out
I reach out to the truth of my life
Seeking to seize on the whole moment
To now break away
