I forgot to post that I hit level 75 last night. Oops! Also, gotta come up with some good stuff for the adventure list idea for the next few years. I'm still sorta on the fence about skydiving, but leaning more towards doing it then I was now.

Maat went down tonight! WOOT! I can now move on to level 75!

As it turns out, it's difficult to get guys to accept the concept of being pregnant.

It's also difficult to get people to knowingly accept STD's of any sort.

You'd think it would be funny, since they're not real and it's just a facebook thing, but for some reason, people just seem to not want them in their profile!

People are stupid.


Really stupid.


I mean, really, really stupid. It's annoying.



And they vote... A lot!



Because the ads told them to.

And I don't mean like, people who don't know when to leave and hang around too much type of stalkers, but the real bad ones, who hang around other peoples houses all night while they're sleeping or something and acting all creepy. I just wonder - when they're outside someones house for hours on end just watching them - don't they get bored?

I mean, it doesn't seem like jail is too much of a scary thing for them. It seems like they spend a lot of time not doing anything anyway, so jail really wouldn't be a big deal. Maybe if we had a seperate stalker jail where a lot of interesting things happened, there would be less stalkers. I don't know.

Anyway, those are my thoughts for the day.

I've been thinking about the list, and realized I was pretty travel focused when I did it last time. I think I need to come up with some more non-travel related list items that I can work on between vacations!

And now, my livejournal will take a turn. After seeing "The Bucket List" on cable during my time off over the holiday's with Anne, I was at work tonight, and suddenly realized that I like the idea. Although I think it's something people should work on their entire lives! So for those of you who haven't seen the movie, it works like this - you just make a list of things you want to do before you kick the bucket. That's it. And then you do as many of those things as you can. I want to keep a list like this, and I want to keep updating it, and keep doing it.

This means less con going for me though. Because I prefer variety in life. I mean, life is about experience, and I want to experience a little of everything. Sure, I have found a LOT of things that I enjoy! MMORPG gaming, Video games, Anime, Indian food, British Comedy, Kevin Smith movies, certain authors like Robert Jordan, Robert Aspirin and Robin Hobb, (only Robin Hobb is still alive now)... but I found I like those things by trying new things, and I want to keep trying new things. And trying new things has been good to me.

Because I've tried new things, I've been able to say I've played in bands, I've DJ'd weddings, I've ran my own business, I've ran an anime con, I lead an anime club, I flew an ultralight... I could probably keep going on, but the thing is, no matter how big the list gets, I just want it to get bigger! The more I look back on that I can be proud of like that, the happier I am! And so, I've started a list of things I want to add to what I've done in life, and I'm going to keep adding to that list as I keep taking things away from it.

Anyway, enough babble - here's my first draft of my bucket list!

- Leave the continent
- Stand on the top of a mountain and view a sunrise or a sunset
- Be a part of history
- Write a book
- Play a very large prank
- Take a cruise
- Stay home for 2 weeks straight
- Take 6 weeks off in a row
- Go to a class reunion
- Pee on California
- Go on a very long vacation across North America
- Save a life
- Change history in some small way
- Change somebody’s life
- Take a hike for days
- Invent something
- Play the Road game for at least 3 day’s with at least 3 people
- Help someone else with something on their bucket list!

I hope this inspires friends of mine to do the same. If anyone does, I'd be happy to help with anything on their list! (it's my latest addition!) Also, if anyone wants to help me with any of mine, I'd appreciate the support as well! So I hope everyone the best in this New Year as I've found a new way to live, and I hope you all find your own happiness as well!

So I made my lj like, adult or whatever, where it warns people of mature content. This wasn't automatic. As in, I could write entries like fuck, fuck, motherfucking fuck fuck, cock sucker, ball licker, shit fucker or whatever I wanted, and a 7 year old with a computer could come across it and read it, because LJ doesn't just simply write a little program to automatically warn people when someone drops a dozen f-bombs into their lj or something.

I might take out the mature content warning on my lj and just leave this as is. And if you're 12 years old or younger, go tell your nearest parent that you'd like to experiment with either finding the g-spot or both ends of anal sex. They're sure to give you a raise in your allowance for your creativity and knowledge of such mature concepts!

On Sunday, Anne and I did something we haven't done in years. We watched the last anime series that we own that we haven't seen yet. As in, we've consistently had some more anime that we bought and hadn't watched sitting under the TV for the past few years, and now we've seen everything new that we own!

I'm kinda looking forward to seeing what we end up watching this weekend now that there's not new anime to watch!

New Years Eve 2008! It's my usual get who I can to come out, have a blast, get drunk, watch anime, watch other stuff, play euro games, do goofy things, have the time of our lives and just end the year with a bang! And I want everyone I can to come! So if you don't live in the area, and are thinking "But hotels are a bit much", well, on New Years, it's the one night a year that everyone stays the night anyway, so no hotel needed! Just make sure you're okay with possibly crashing in a sleeping bag on a floor somewhere if needed, because we do tend to sprawl out on every piece of furniture imaginable. And usually not until 4:00 or 5:00 AM. Except Todd will crash in the office for a bit earlier a lot of times to get some quiet.

But that's the offer! Free room and board for New Years Eve to anyone on my lj friends list who wants to come out for it!

I think I should celebrate Thanksgiving in the most traditional sense possible. By going to an Indian reservation and stealing food from Indians.

Wegmans has increased the size of their beer section to include more imported beer, and as a result of them now having a European beer section, they now have in the cooler - **drum roll**...


OLD SPECKLED HEN!


It's Anne's favorite beer! One of my favorites as well, actually. All cold and ready to drink! (It's not like a dark beer so it's not good warm)

It's already getting huge! I've got a few more people I'm going to try to invite, although I'll be surprised if too many people show up, but I think it's gonna still be pretty huge and awesome even if only 5 people are there! I'm going to Beer of the World this Saturday to shop for beer. So far I'm thinking - 2 cases of Grand 95, 1 case of Okocim, 1 case of Mikes Hard lemonade, (I still have a variety case in the garage too)... but I'm also looking to buy a few more beer mugs for any Okacim drinkers, and some cigars! The plan?

Well, I got a new bathroom fan installed this year, and I wanna try it out! And here's the idea for the test... A whole bunch of us go into the bathroom and squeeze in to smoke cigars and cigarettes with the fan off, and get as much of a cloud going as possible. We then take pictures of the cloud and get a good laugh out it. The next step is to reignite the cloud as much as possible to make sure it's at its strongest one more time, then we hit the fan and see how long it takes to clear the cloud!

I'm sure I'll come up with more ideas as the day gets closer!

Vaganipenis: The feeling one gets after urinating when one has waited for a real long time. ie... He had waited to pee for 4 hours and as a result, enjoyed a huge feeling of vaganipenis!



I dunno, I still sorta like it meaning everything and nothing, and having a flexible definition, so it can be used anywhere at anytime, but maybe since there's no word to describe the feeling after you pee, it can be used for that. Hey, maybe Vaganipenis can be a replacement word for any word that doesn't exist!

Please! People! Give me some thoughts on this important subject matter!

These questions can be harder then you'd expect! I just took this quiz for someone else, and had a tough time, so I won't feel bad if people don't know me that well. I'm just curious how people will do is all!

This is another FFXI post for anyone who might rather not read about it!

So when Lotus dropped the game and gave me his stuff, he gave me a full set of field armor. Well, if you can call it that. It's all level 1 armor with almost no defense, and it looks like cloth, so it's really just clothing. But it increases harvesting, logging and mining results! So I took it out Sunday night and found out I was getting great results! Got a full stack of Red Moko Grass in a single night! Last night, same thing! I can't sell the stuff in the AH fast enough to make room for what I can harvest! Although tonight, I plan on fishing instead. Gotta get that up there. Then I'll swap back to harvesting later. Well, probably after I play with some mining somewhere or something.

So Friday night I'm in a party with an ls member, and I'm at level 50, and I'm real close to leveling. Suddenly, I notice I've only got 49 experience points to the next level! The next mob gives me well over 150 xp, but I don't level, and I'm only 1 xp away. Next mob, another 150 or so, and once again, no level. This is where I found out that Limit Break in FFXI isn't like the other Final Fantasies, but it's a quest to allow you to level past certain levels. In order to reach level 55, I have to do limit break 1. lb2 gets you to 60, lb3 65, lb4 73 and lb5 (Maat fight) - 75. This really sucked for me.

See, now I was stuck at level 50, and my af gear is available at level 50, but I really didn't expect much in the sense of being able to get to it without being able to get over level 50. The quests for AF gear, (job specific gear), are always way beyond the level you can do them at, requiring you to get other people to help you with the quest. (FFXI lives and dies by it's linkshell groups effectiveness). So last night I was trying to get my AF weapon, (the only AF gear that you can get at level 40, the rest are level 50), and I figured I'd see if anyone was in the area. No luck. So I went to Sandoria, which was close to where I'd have to fight the boss for my AF weapon, (I couldn't even clear the mobs in the area quick enough to get the fight with the boss), and figured I'd see if anyone in the linkshell was going to be in the area. Turned out Itchygo and Koaladevourer were both in the mood to help me, so they came out and killed the thing so fast they ended up getting me done in about a half hour!

They then asked me about the LB1 stuff I needed, and I said I needed drops from crawlers nest and eldieme necropolis. So we met up at crawlers nest and they got me the drop I needed there. Although Koala said he's always had bad luck in Eldieme Necropolis so he didn't want to help with that. So he asked about my next AF gear. I went to jeuno to start it, and they met me there. (I was able to warp). Koala then showed us a shortcut to the area we had to go to. (Before Wings of the Goddess the trip meant going through Sandoria, Raungemont pass, Beauciding glacier, back to Battalia Downs but on the higher part of it, then into Eldieme Necropolis - by doing a quest in the past and trading a flower in the present, we were elevated to the higher level automatically saving the trip and never even leaving Battalia downs other then to go to the past!) We went in, I did the quest, (died twice but I really didn't care since I couldn't level past 50 yet anyway), and I got my Choral Slippers! Turns out they're level 52 so now I have to finish the LB1 quest to level up enough to wear 'em. On the way out, they saw 2 lich's that they killed on the way in. They had respawned so they killed 'em again. And the first one dropped the last item I needed for lb1! Now I had my 1st two AF quests completed, and I had the items I needed for LB1! I mean, I didn't even expect to get the AF weapon that night, much less it, some armor, and the LB1 quest done all in one night! SWEET!

So now I can add another 5 levels! Turns out once I hit level 51 I can do the LB2 quest, and Itchy told me to let him know as soon as I could do that! Now I'm just hoping to do enough with bard to be extra helpful to the ls, since they've been helping me a lot. I know bards are quite rare though, so I'll be very helpful to them when the ls ends up turning endgame!
