Closing time...

I'm considering closing my FFXI account. I have not logged in for over a month. Although these past two months have been pretty... current-life changing. But the thing is... I don't miss it. I just don't.

I think I'm done.

And I'm not thrilled about the level cap raising. Also, my friends are just not around anymore. So... it's not much fun. I haven't completely decided yet. I'll probably know but the end of next month.

Meanwhile... I've been playing MH3, (Monster Hunter Tri). Online play has different servers. Open servers have like 15 rooms, and the other servers have like 3-5 rooms. Each room have 20 something gates. Each gate can house 100 players max. Each gate can has about 30 cities. So... assuming my math is horrible, there are over 24,000 locations I can play. That's a lot of places I can randomly end up in.

And randomly, I chose the room with a "Clave" and a "Kyattsu."

OH MY FREAKING G

How crazy was that?! LOL! It's cool that I get to play with some familiar faces.

Anyway, that's it for now. This blog won't probably last. Sad to say.

New Direction Blah Blah Blah...

Same 'ol news. Stuff happens, things change. In my case, things have been changing rapidly and every day brings new experiences. Every week my life goes in a different direction. My heading keeps changing based on what gets thrown at me.

But anyway.

I have yet to decide my FFXI future. Maikeru is gone. Maikerukun is here, and I'm still not used to it.

I haven't even played FFXIV yet. WTF?!

And I kinda... moved out and moved into an apartment with Kya. So... ya...

Oh and Monster Hunter Tri has taken whatever time I have left for myself.

So... I think we will be creating new blogs soon. HAH! More work, I'm crazy. But I really want to do this. I really want to be able to blog everyday and post pictures everyday. So...

This blog will either stay as is (35%), change into a "gaming blog" (50%), or be terminated due to me quitting FFXI (whatever % is left over). I will be creating 1-3 other blogs. The first will be my everyday blog. This is where it gets tricky. If I quit FFXI, I will most likely create a MH3 blog... but like I said, might just be a gaming blog. Also based on my lifestyle and the goals I want to accomplish, I will create supplemental blogs based on personal fitness, art (music and photography), and possibly a... well, I won't share that one for now. The last will be a very, very small chance. Kya suggested it, and I kind of don't want to do it because I don't explore my options within that... thing. And also I've gotten in trouble for having an opinion online before. I don't need another catholic school banning me... ok, nevermind.

Anyway, I need to continue cleaning up my life and apartment. I'll post what I decide soon. Maybe next week.

Tired! Why am I awake?!

ALA MOANA CROCS GRAND OPENING! Friday, April 9th, 9:30AM (HST)

Today I worked in the storage room for practically 10 hours straight (with breaks here and there). The temp. kid's cage were lined with stacks of three boxes, about six or seven stacks total. The top of the stack had a layer of dust so when I pulled the boxes to break down, waves of dust practically engulfed my face. I was coughing for the first couple hours. After that, the lingering crocs dust (or "storage dust" some may call) began to creep into my lungs and I started to get dizzy. After taking a couple breaks, I felt better. That didn't last long. Our design guy had to spray paint our sign and... well, you get the picture. Not much air circulation, I was feeling light-headed after about twenty minutes.

Overall, I managed quite a bit of work. I set up most of the hooks for the kids' shoes, and stocked about 75% of our product.

I'm going to try and get off early tomorrow and head home. Hopefully I can catch an hour of FFXIV. Saturday is mine, so I'll be able to get on for a complete test, if it's ok with my KyaNyan.

Also, I'm trying a RSS feed blogger app for facebook. Hope it works!

Tomorrow will be our first grand opening! I say first because my manager hinted that we may have a second grand opening with the frills. This will be our kind of... in-store training day.

To sleep!

Hello Sylph...

Slowly going through the motions of accepting the "-kun" part of name. The transition wasn't as bad as I anticipated. I think it was the weeks of reluctance that kind of prepared me for it. I feel really bad for some people who expected to have their name only to find out that it wasn't so. They didn't have the time to take in the news. They had to deal with it there and then. I feel especially bad for Nightfall (Nitefall), Barlow (Barllow), Rafa (???), and several others. They had to take a full stab as they tried to log in. I just barely registered my disappointment as I tried different names to see which looked the best.

Maikerutaru just felt too long. Michael, Maiku, Mike, and several others were already taken. Adding the "kun" made the name seem... ok... So far I haven't regretted my decision. Eventually it'll stick and I'll just swallow the crap SE feeds me. No homo.

I don't know if Nite found out (God it's going to take getting used to that name), but there's a new weapon called Nightfall. That's salt in the wound considering she's leveling DRK at this moment and it would have been her namesake. Bullshit, isn't it?

Upon logging in, I created a Linkshell called YouseiRenmei (Fairy Alliance) and gathered all the people I knew just to see how everyone was. The next morning, /Senkei/ and /Malloreon/ were recreated so everyone went back to their groups. I haven't seen Somnar or Faeryl yet. I hope they find a home. I wonder if they're avoiding me... hopefully it's just bad luck.

I joined a Linkshell called SilkDragon before the server merge and I decided to stick with them. They're a nice group, and they also seem to hang around the late hours which is perfect for me because that's when I get online.

So what will happen to WindurstianCrusade? I have no clue. No one really seems to want to stick together. I have no idea what will happen. I want all of us to stay, but I need someone else to take the reins. I can not moderate the Linkshell if I'm not around during the PST/EST afternoon times. I'm just not around for it anymore.

/pwnED/ was also recreated. I talked to Brig and he said most likely I will be able to get my BST AF. Thank goodness for friends, eh? I get AF even though I'm not there. Sure I'm paying gil for it, but it's still awesome. Loyalty pays off, and I will always believe that.

That's enough for today. As soon as I redesign my blog to fit the -kun in, I will start my facebook syncing and picture of the day.

This year is surely the year of change.

Farewell Maikeru

Well this is it. Server merger is tomorrow. I have yet to decide my name but here are my best choices:

1) Maikerutaru
2) Maikerurawr
3) Mootaru
4) Michael

My last day on Fairy was lame. I wasn't able to get online when everyone else was online. Oh well. I hope pwnED carries through.

As for WC... Dunno yet. I'm personally shying away from leading (or "leading") again. I'm just not interested in being serious about this game anymore. Everything is changing, and SE is taking away the most important thing to me: my identity. I have an abundance of animosity filling my range of emotions, ergo, focusing on the positive is difficult at this moment. But... watigondo.

Well, farewell for not. My future will be determined in the next few days.
