Happy anniversary! (FFXI only)

[thistlechaser]

Know what today is? Exactly one year ago, 7/11/04, was the CurseTheYagudo/FinalInsanity parade! Which means it's also the anniversary of me joining the LS. :D (Okay, a day or two after the exact date, but close enough!)

Looking over those old screenshots now (at the above link), it's nice to see so many of the same faces still around, but sad to see the gone ones. BigKen! Bait! Nyp! BloodyBear (ha ha ha).

I remember how nervous I was at the time of the parade. The only people in the LS I really knew (Aurian, Ead, and Draque) weren't attending because it was too late, so I mostly didn't know anyone. Plus I was really low level (still WHM main at the time!!) so going into Giddeus was really scary!

But I'm so glad it all worked out. Even if the group has now split (re-split, I suppose) across two LSs, we're still one big family. One big Yagudo-killing family!

It so totally doesn't feel like it's been a year, but what a good year it's been!

<3 to you all!

Awwww, how sweet! <3 right back at you. (Don't get too excited, it's an entirely platonic kind of love, like the kind I have for my psycho brother-in-law, but <3 nonetheless. XD)

...are you coming on to me? What will Ebin say! We'll just have to not tell him!

Heh heh heh.

Wow, has it really been that long? o.O We need to do that again o.o

I've been thinking about that, yeah. How hard would it be? Set a time and date, think up something to do besides kill yags (some sort of a little talent show?), give out some prizes... Mithkabobs are probably too expensive to bring for everyone, maybe bring your own?

Or we could do some different event... Set up teams and see who can collect the most yag necklaces in X time? (No buying from AH permitted.)

Oooh, yeah, that would be fun! :3 An event that involves killing yagudo, with some form of competition involved...I'd be all over that. As for mithkabobs, I always bring enough miths and fireworks for everyone at this kind of event, so no worries on that.
