Days need to be 50 hours long...

Things have been crazy, and it's not helping that I've gotten about 4 hours of sleep a night, every night this week. I'm going to either fall over dead or explode before too much longer. Or both! *KABOOM!* ~Thistle-bits flutter down all over~

I've not mentioned Neopets in a long while (mostly because I'm semi-bored with the place), but my lab pet has been doing interesting things. He had turned into star-colored, which was very pretty, but now he's the rare Maraquan colored Gelert. Rare or not, that's just a horrible looking thing. Why yes, I do want a pink and purple dog-octopus thing. It's like something out of a bad x-rated anime movie!

FFXI: *runs around, pulling his hair out* Craziness. Stress. Insanity. Rush, rush, rush!

I found a new niche in the market to take advantage of, so Fishingbot is now bazaaring overnight and while I'm at work. The good news this morning: He sold out his bazaar (about 12K profit overnight). The bad news? I had to restock him this morning. Move 30 stacks of stuff between mules (cities). When I only have about 20-30 free minutes in the morning. Insanity.

Probably because of the full moon last night, there were tons of moat carp for sale at 4K. Got like... 30? 40? stacks of them? Too many, but the sooner I get this darned quest done with, the sooner I can ignore carps and stop collecting them. About a third of the way finished; about 3300 turned in as of this morning.

Prom Dem tonight. Rarr! Third of three runs! Then we'll be done with it and able to visit new places! :D And on top of that, I'll be able to sell a ton of stuff and free up some space (all the potions, other meds, level 30 armor/weapon...). I'd like to start working on the ZM or CoP missions next, but I strongly suspect I'm too low level for them.

At least I'm not the only one in my static who will need things like missions and Genkai and such. Ceh and I are both in the group as our highest level jobs, so we'll both need those things. I'd hate to have to find help with them if it were only for me. (So excited that my first AF is soon. And it's killing a Yag, too! How fitting is that?)

I have a ton of info on Sandy quests printed out. Soon (tomorrow?) I'm going to run Fishingbot through them to try to get his fame up. (Money is too much of an issue right now for me to buy piles of stuff for him to turn in in those repeating quests.) I won't mind (too much) doing the same for Chaser in Bastok, but Kat in Windy is screwed. No way I'm dealing with Windy quests just for her fame (darned city, way too big to run around in). When Bastok is in first, I'll do the turn-in items for her fame. (Assuming money is okay by then.)

There's a new moon way early tomorrow morning. I'm semi-intending to craft some Seer's stuff then. I really don't want to (hate having to deal with selling it and staying in Jeuno and stuff, plus space is still a giant issue), but I do need the money, so I probably will. Sandy is in first this week, so I really should make tons of linen tomorrow while I can still easily get flax flowers...

I swear, this game would be so much easier if I didn't have to work a job. Bah.

*snicker* (FFXI)

I've been idly looking for some uber-angsty lyrics to add into my DRK macros. (Non-players: As the name implies, Dark Knights are all about darkness and death and stuff. Lots of people take this way too seriously and make these horrible angsty emits for their weapons. "Let the blood of my enemies flow till it covers me and paint my eyes red, for my life is nothing but death and now here is yours!" with worse typing.) One I'd use would have to be so angsty and so bad that it'd be funny. Poking about on Google, I did a search for "FFXI angst", and the first hit?

FFXI fanfic.

Okay, I knew there was FFXI fanart, but for some reason I really didn't think there was fanfic out there. I've spent the last while glancing through it. It's... something else.

A good 98% of the stories feature Mithra as the main character. Most of them are bad, really bad. (The "best" ones so far have been only boring.) This summary caught my eye and made me snicker lots, but unfortunately the story is too boring to read.

A fallen Dragoon seeks redemption and answers to life's questions down the path of the Dark Knight.

So there's hope for you yet, loneguardian! ;)

Dragoons and thieves seem to be the most popular job of main characters. Hey, here's one told from the wyvern's POV. That's different. (Edit: I read it. Eh, writing isn't great and the ending confused me, but it's an interesting idea!) Wind like Wolves Howling Summary: A young Wyvern fights a losing battle alongside his master against the demon hosts of Zvahl

Grr, some of the summaries have so much potential, but the stories suck! Example: Two Yagudo brothers prepare for the worst when word of the Feral Taru of Windurst reaches Giddeus. /// See, now that could make for a great story told from a Yag POV, but the actual story is so bad I'm not even going to link it.

Ha ha. Another for loneguardian. A story about a Yagudo dragoon! (Told from Yag's POV.) (Huh, this one is actually readable.)

Buh? (FFXI)

Does anyone know anything about this picture? I'd say it has to be photoshopped, but it doesn't look like it... Maybe the GMs were having fun one day? Maybe on the test server? (And the /tell has me rolling!)
