Blue's Adventures

Late Update

2009-10-30T17:42:41Z

I've been thinking about FFXI recently. I definitely miss a lot of my friends in that game. But I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't play, and even if I did, I wouldn't have anything to do. I'm too busy with work and school, and plus, I've spent more than my fair share of time on that game. I threw away two years of my life to play that game.

Just took 3 midterms, I got two A-'s and a B. Not proud of the B, but it could have been much worse, as that professor makes me fall asleep in class (a boring lecturer for 100 minutes). School's okay. It was raining a few days ago and I left my lights on and killed my battery lol. Had to get a battery pack from the University Police. I jumped my own car; I am a woman of TODAY!

My niece was born at 2:03 PM on October 23, 2009. She was 8lbs 9 ounces. I believe that 4 of those pounds are in her cheeks. She doesn't cry unless she's being changed. She's absolutely adorable.

Me and Nycon are pretty much a perfectly happy couple. I don't know what else to write about it. I don't know whether to dress up as Pikachu or (what I was last year) a ~Japanese super Kawaii Super Pop Star~.

I also got my last wisdom tooth removed. :)

Going to see teh Nycon for the New Year. Counting down! (Well, I'm actually not really doing it, I have a lot of other things I am counting down, like the end of class, and midterm...)

My wisdom tooth area still aches. Oh, and this is hilarious. A certain somebody (I will not mention names) who got her insides all 'torn up' by a past lover, and was at one point unable to have children because she had a hysterectomy, is now preggers.

How is ...

this possible?

Wisdom Teeth and Quitting Professors

2009-09-24T22:53:19Z

Last November, I walked out of school because my right wisdom teeth were killing me. So I went to the ER and had them both removed, and either they weren't as impacted or for some reason I just had way bigger balls to take the pain. This past Tuesday, I got my left bottom tooth removed (#17 for those dentist nuts), and this one was really impacted up the wazoo. It was growing in like this.

Ouch...

Oh yeah, and my Themes in US History professor just up and quit. He lives in Staten Island (lower west island of NYC), and my school is on the middle of Long Island, so his commute was easily an hour long. Good riddance. He was kind of an awful teacher. He made us read 50 page chapters and then quiz us on a single paragraph, which was ridiculous. He also said that if, at the end of the semester, our grades was an 89.9999, he would not round it up to a 90. Which I think is unfair. So goooood riddance.

So my teeth hurt, and I need ice cream.
AND I NEED ICE CREAM.

Back Pain and Work

2009-09-20T20:13:55Z

So I had gone to work one day, and since a lot of people rotate the computers, they also rotate the height of the chairs and the "recline-ability" of the back of the chair.

My back had been killing me for weeks, yet I couldn't pinpoint why it was hurting me until I realized that it was the fact that my chair kept reclining. I'm a stickler for decent posture, so I locked the recline so when I lean back, the back of the chair would not lean with me.

So after the course of a few days, I thought my pain was being relieved. But yesterday, I tried to bring my AC from my window into my closet for the winter months, and my back decided to be a jerk. I went to work in total pain and upset that I'd have to make an appointment with my doctor which I wouldn't see until a few days later. Which meant I'd have to live in pain for a few more days.

So I asked my brother to give me a massage, which he did with his elbow. He dug his elbow into my lower back and provided me with excruciating pain where I promptly told him to stop it, and he didn't need to be so rough with me. Well, he must have the healing hands of Jesus Christ, because my back doesn't hurt anymore.

School, Work and Luff

2009-09-10T21:16:29Z

So this is my first personal entry. I just woke up, bear with me. I'm not sure what fueled my desire to take a nap before work tongiht. I'm taking three classes (12 credits) this semester. It's my first time at a University, so I guess that really wasn't a bad idea. I'm majoring in American Studies, but I'd like to change it to Early Childhood Education.

The first class I am taking is Themes in U.S. History. This is my 2nd favorite class. The teacher seems fair -- he expects us to behave like adults. The textbook was $160, and we probably won't be able to sell it back, since they're coming out with a new edition.

The second class I am taking is Comparative Cultures. This is definitely my favorite class. She's one of those kinds of professors that lets her class debate, and I absolutely love her! We have a nice mix of republicans and democrats in the class, so the debates get kind of ... well, I wouldn't say heated, but you hear everyone's PoV. No ignorance here, step aside!

The third class I am taking is African American studies. Why oh why did I take this course? Well, I did take African American Lit last semester. This professor is so boring. If you took a page out of my notes, you could see that I was really trying and then I just start scribbling... because (lol) I fell asleep while taking notes.

I'm not sure who does it at work, but someone loves to let the work chair recline, and recently it's been killing my lower back to the point where I have to sit to put my pants on (can't bend over to grab the waist part). Trying to resist using any form of painkillers... but I hope it goes away soon.

I want to get this for Nycon for Christmas. It's ok, he already knows. And probably a french fry maker.

Not really sure what else to write....

Oh, there's a talent show next week. I was thinking about going, but I'm not sure what to do.

God damn it. Hacked.

2009-08-31T15:04:19Z

The past year and a half, Nycon and I have woo'ed each other with gear. I buffed up his Warrior, bought him Hauberk +1, Fire Bomblet..., anything that could be purchased, I went out of my way to get it for him. He got me into his Limbus shell, his Sea shell, his Sky shell; he helped me get Rare/Exclusive gear and was always there for me. There's proof everywhere in this blog. From day 1, Nycon has treated me with respect and love and I returned it. I really do love him.

Of course, it wasn't immediately when we got together, but after time tested it, he gave me his account and password. So yes, I went on his account. I never did anything fishy, never visited anything fishy. I even reformatted before I added him to my computer account (he was initially on my PS2 account). I don't want to hear that we were stupid for having each other's account information. You'd do it too if you felt the way we feel.

He did Limbus on Saturday night. Last time I clicked on PoL was Monday the 24th. I've been busy with school and work, and just finished up LoZ: Twilight Princess yesterday. Not only had I just been logging in to do Dynamis and Limbus, I even cancelled the Content IDs on the 16th. I wasn't playing the game for fun anymore, I was playing it to help people. Right after I defeated Ganondorf, Nycon asked me to log in because he couldn't. So I did.

Invalid password. Wtf? So I called a GM, verified that I knew the information on his account enough to know not only where he logged out (I heard San d'Orian music very early Sunday morning while I was half asleep), what job he was on without asking, and even the levels of his mules; luckily I got a nice GM, and they froze his account. So I searched FFXIAH to see who the fuck this culprit is right here.

Nycon logged out on Warrior. He only switches to PLD when I ask him to. And he's one of those kinds of people that will get pissed if I leave his character logged out with silly gear, like his bathing suit or gear for his PLD that I wear on his WAR. He doesn't want FFXIAH to pick up on my silly nuances. And yet they switched him to PLD/BLM.

I've never been one of those people that blamed the player for being hacked. I knew people who took the proper precautions got hacked. I freaked out when I read on BG that players with tokens got hacked. I didn't get hacked. I am on Nycon's 360, his computer, my PS2 and my computer, and I went unscathed. How is this possible? Every time this person sells a piece of gear that I worked so hard on to get to give to him makes me want to kill them.

We'll get Nycon back. There's nothing we can do until Nycon gets out of work and calls SE later today. After this, we are done, Square Enix. I thought to myself that between semesters, I'd reactivate my account for a bit... but I just can't see that happening anymore.

Good bye, Final Fantasy XI.

Here is the GM Chat.

Here is the Babeygurl who took his stuff. I'm sure you can see he is not the only player they stole from.

Such a manly entry from a manly man.

2009-08-19T15:02:54Z

Posting on his behalf, because if Geminis aren't stubborn, then I don't know what is!
Nycon, no matter what you think, you didn't win this argument! <3

*clears voice and brings it an octave deeper* Oh, hey guys what's up it's Nycon, the cutest PLD evarz. Welcome to my entry that I wrote all by myself, with absolutely no help from Bluefrost.

Since I'm so cool and keep you all up-to-date, here's a picture of my latest PLD treat. My Valor Surcoat! Just another piece of gear for a job I don't play, because I don't like being Bluefrost's meat tank! He he he ho ho ho ha ha ha.

What a handsome PLD. Oh and yes, I guess Bluefrost's not a bad looking WHM. I guess.

*fixes a car, cooks some steak on the grill, and plays football with the guys* Oh yeah I'm so buff and manly, and I'm signing off. Remember this was NYCON, not BLUEFROST who posted.

Liberation

2009-08-14T15:35:29Z

I finally feel so liberated!

It never bothered me before, because it was always in storage, and I keep my "can't-store-it-on-my-mule" shit gear here, but you know what?

It's time I move on and kick my memories in the butt.

Jerks are jerks and never will stop being jerks, you jerk.

If anyone out there wants the journal world to know he got a Valor Surcoat OR got Homam body, he better write an entry himself! */poke Nycon*

I hate healing.

2009-07-12T16:03:12Z

A new record, wasn't even on for a full minute before my linkshell leader told me I wasn't allowed to go on the job I was currently geared as (BLM) and to switch to a job I hate!

Not only is this extremely annoying, but it

a) isn't fair because there are a lot of BLMs in the shell with alternate healing jobs that choose not to come on those healing jobs;

b) isn't logical because I fully merited my BLM and have way better gear for my BLM than my RDM;

c) made me decide to dump all of my mage gear on Nycon's mule, so if they want me to ever change to a mage job, they will have to inconvenience not only me, but him too.

I went as BRD.

San d'Oria 9-2

2009-07-04T17:07:40Z

Late at night on June 25th, Nycon and I completed 9-2. Aegresco mentioned it on QCDN and we signed up (surprisingly, QCDN is actually good for something). All-in-all, since there is really nothing to report on, it went insanely smooth, with nary a death (except for one time when a certain somebody had to tell me that sleep wore off after I saw 'The Orcish Blahargagh is no longer slept' about 6 times in a row). Prince Trion didn't even lose 1% HP.

Here we are, gathered at the Qu'Bia Arena in Fei'Yin.

Aegresco = White Mage
Anapuna = Monk
Arthur = Paladin
Bluefrost = Black Mage
Nycon = Warrior

THF AF (The full story)...

2009-06-26T14:13:41Z

I'm one of those kinds of people that quests the AF, no matter how useless it may be. So I quested and hunted for coffers because I'm scared of Mimics.... No spoilers for this entry.

AF 2 was the Rogue's Armlets. Lecreuset helped me for a whopping hour (well, it was a long time with TH4...), and then went along and found the coffer for me.

I buttered up Nycon to help me go fight Dark Spark, and while we were up there, we might as well hunt my Zvahl coffer key :).

After that, I attempted to solo my Castle Oztroja coffer, but then some irl stuff came up, so I logged out for a few hours. When I came back, a THF (Lechero) and a BRD (Kudo) were by me and invited me to team up. How sweet of them to help me get a coffer key :) Well, they hunted for Tornado, so I stuck around for that (my Silence was a blessing, I guess lol), but after about 45 minutes of only Aero IV dropping, we left.

I solo'd my entire Rogue's Bonnet Quest. I only needed two Salts, two Greens, and two Eggs. Then the next morning, I attempted to fight the NM. Although she had pretty low evasion (to my Axe skill), she hit pretty hard, so I went to town to switch to SMN. Plus, I was subbing THF, and was only wearing Thick Gear, my Maneater, and a Numinous Shield. Fffff CourierCarrie lol.

But it's kind of a funny cutscene afterwards, not the story itself, but the fact that Goblins are talking about love.

Went to Castle Zvahl Baileys, two-boxing Nycon as my sacrificial guinea pig (♥), found the coffer in the first place I looked:

Rogue's Vest mine!

Then we went to Oztroja, and luckily for anyone under lv60, the coffer was behind the locked door :). So I parked Nycon's cute tush at the door and opened the door on Bluefrost.

I kept him away 'cause I'm tired of the spam Brogame tells...
and now the Culottes are mine :).

Spyo/Tsurael & Bluefrost/Nycon (2 people 4 characters lol) helped with my Rogue's Poulaines (I don't have them right now). I told Spyo that I was going to voke it, but if I didn't, he had to claim with Shield Bash. So I started the cutscene to pop Chandelier, and it took forever for him to pop. So I had my screen up, waiting for the NM to pop, and wasn't paying attention to Nycon's. After about 5 seconds, Chandelier finally popped, and started to Self-Destruct, and I stood there like an idiot, and I was like "For surely, I am in death's cold grip" and then Hero Spyo saved the day by bashing his face.

That little shit didn't pop red. Carbuncle, you're good for nothing.

I was on Nycon, he doesn't talk like that lol :P

Getting slept (through shadows), and evading all attacks...

My Best FFXI Day

2009-06-22T02:16:24Z

On Saturday, I woke up in a sour mood, mostly because I am a woman (I got a free pass to bitchiness in the mail on my 18th birthday), but there were a plethora of other reasons. We were getting ready to go do some Dynamis Windurst, which was the only Dynamis that I never got anything out of, so I geared up my Bard and put BLM on first lot and BST on second.

The first warning sign that it wasn't going to be that normal of a day was when Nycon, as usual, was outlotted by someone and then they passed it to him because it was announced that 'Nycon never wins anything'.

Nycon is 1/5 on WAR af :)
I'm 4/5 on BST AF
4/5 on WHM & 4/5 on BLM

Here, I won the lot of the 100 coin, that I later sold to Daywalker.

Mushroom Hats

2009-06-17T20:18:08Z

Even though ~~Mr. Stubborn~~ Nycon also has FFXI on his computer, he chose not to log in because Xbox was doing a maintenance. So (yes I am very mad at him!) he couldn't have fun with me in Dynamis San d'Oria. :(

But luckily, everyone else can. And if you see Nycon reading this journal entry, poke him on his side or belly, repeatedly. Tickling works too if your poking seems to have no effect. He has a high Counter rate, so please take care. :(

Bard Hat #1, which went to Edana

Bard Hat #2, which went to me

I don't have a screen shot, because at this point I was falling asleep, but congratulations to Skitles for getting the third Bard Hat.

I'll post more pictures whenever I find them lol.

Dynamis & A WHM Rant

2009-06-16T19:22:44Z

I finally got my Sorcerer's Coat in Beaucedine on the 9th.

Tonight we'll be doing Dynamis-San d'Oria. Hopefully I'll get my Bard Hat. I'm really enjoying Dynamis. Except when I come WHM.

Don't get me wrong, I love WHM to death. As much as I'll threaten I'll retire it, drop everything onto my mule and deactivate it, delevel it to 64, in the end, I really do love White Mage. What I don't love about it: The fact that everyone else is too good/busy to level it and makes me do it. I've got more than 5 jobs at 75. Why do I always have to come WHM? All I have to do is say "Hi" to my shell, and one of the leaders will automatically say "Bluefrost, come WHM." -_-;

There is this Paladin in my shell who obtained a very (rare) sought-after piece, and sent a /tell to Nycon "Aren't you sooooooooooooooo jealous?" after he outlotted him. What kind of BS is that? As immature as it may sound, it made me rethink how much I wanted to keep this tank alive.

ssiigghh....

Lolwtfbbq?

2009-06-15T17:00:30Z

Ok, so I was taking a look at the gear that Nycon wears in Altana Viewer, and this is what came up.

Absolutely stunning (starts around 3 seconds)

Hawt

Homam Cosciales

2009-06-07T16:47:26Z

So, yesterday was Nycon's birthday. Yay :)

After we celebrated with his family, we came back home to get ready for Limbus, since we were doing an Omega, and he was up for Legs.

Congrats to Darkruler too. I believe he got Homam feet :)

ding 75

2009-06-02T21:04:07Z

Not sure if I was being stubborn, lazy, cheap, or didn't want to deal with idiots in that final stretch, but I finally got 75RNG this morning doing absolutely nothing but campaigns. I got one upgraded medal, hundreds of fletchings and lumber and bullets and firesands, and my 8th 75.

No I am not going for a Maat's cap.

Stats

2009-05-27T16:25:57Z

Finally got Decimation (really had the Annals of Truth since January)

Thanks to Scythes, Nycon, and Spyo for really stopping what they were doing to help me :).

I want to do some BCNMS

What's a good BCNM? One that generally uses few people, doesn't have to be a great drop rate, as you can see, I have a lot to spare. (I prefer Copycat KSNMs)

don't really know why I called so many GMs

Anyone else think this Galka shouldn't be up here?

I love wonderful hints

Samurai AF story

2009-05-20T14:50:52Z

I know that I'm lazy to post, but the next few weeks, I'm going to be posting a lot, just because these pictures on my computer are taking way too much disk space.

Once upon a time, long, long ago, there was a Prince named Nycon who said "Hey I wanna level SAM."

He leveled up his Samurai, and frequently requested his White Mage lover to powerlevel him throughout the levels during the Stupid Ages (commonly known as Valkurm Dunes Epoch) and the Dumb Ages (commonly known as the Qufim Era).

He grew up and got stronger and stronger and learned how to hold his weapon, also known as a "Great Katana", more appropriately. He sliced thru Mandragora, Bees, Ochus, Goblins, and Leeches with the greatest of ease.

"I do so enjoy partaking in the leisure of being a Japanese Samurai!," he would regularly proclaim. His lover was happy.

Nycon placed his right foot on the carcass of a beetle and exclaimed, "Hark! There is a Great Katana that I must quest for, in order to become one of the mighty Demon slayers of the land! Wouldst thou help me, fair maiden!?"

"Of course, my lover, of course," she replied.

Off he runs quickly to Norg to hear more details about the quest for the sub-par sword, and then across the lands to the Nation of the Sanctuary of Zi'Tah. Retrieving a Sack of Fish Bait that he had murdered a lowly Goblin Robber for, he lured a Pugil from the depths of the beautiful aquamarine lakes of the Nation of the Sanctuary of Zi'Tah.

Quickly, he and his lover smote the mighty beast, and he ripped off crystal-colored scales from its dead, cold body. He returned to Norg to reward the quest-giver for helping him, and he coincidentally received his beautifully crafted Magoroku.

/end

Valkurm Emperor

2009-05-19T20:41:59Z

So right now, I'm at work, and Nycon decided to log in on my account. We had logged out earlier because too many people were camping V.E. and he had to do some real life things, so we just logged out around 12:30.

This is his story, edited for continuity (& grammur) by moi.

Nycon: I'm going to sign you in and camp flies for a bit. It's going to be weird playing on you, though.
Bluefrost: :)
Nycon: Do you care?
Bluefrost: Yep!
Nycon: Oh ok, I'll log out then.
Bluefrost: No! Just remember Sneak Attack takes off like 60% of its health in 1 swing.
Nycon: Well, I need to claim it first, then I'll worry how I'm going to kill it
Bluefrost: But I'm talking about Damselflies
Nycon: Some /anon Taru is killing PHs's still
Nycon: Claim! WOOOOO
Nycon: Hope for drop
Bluefrost: Really? Wow
Nycon : Yes
Bluefrost: Pics!
Nycon: Beat out the taru who was way closer.
Nycon: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!drop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bluefrost: Nice :)
Nycon: omg!!!!!
Bluefrost: Hahahahahahaha, you are too awesome...
Nycon: I was way over by the beach, and it popped way up by the wall north of the beach. I had seen it on Widescan, so I started running and Flee'd. I ran past the taru, and he then Flee'd, but by then, it was too late. I beat him to it. Congratulations, baby! You just got one awesome piece of gear
Bluefrost: But I didn't even do anything...
Nycon: Are you excited!?!?! Man, that was an awesome adrenaline rush.

Nothing in particular

2009-05-11T13:27:13Z

Nycon bought me a Wind Torque which was really sweet (& cunning) of him. I tested it out in a Nyzul > Bhaflau party, and my elegy was sticking more often than before. My Lullaby doesn't seem to want to improve accuracy though. Anyway, I'm either never partying without Nycon again, or I'm never partying without a warrior. I thought I was a bad puller last time, but last time we had no vokes; this time we had 2 (Teruko too). So that was good, it made me want to pull faster. Oh yes, and we had a competent RDM who realized that if I wasn't capable of sleeping the links, he would do it. We were averaging 20k per hour, and I was in the party for about 90 minutes.

Let's see here, what else... we did a Dynamis Sandy & Beaucedine with Perseus. I got Summoner's Pigaches and Monster Trousers, both freelot, but was hoping for a BRD hat. No mushrooms :(. I didn't get anything from Beaucedine, but Willian did get the 100coin. Is it me or do SCH, PUP, and DNC drop a lot?

We did an Omega run (early) Sunday morning, and Nycon was up for legs. And 2 eyes dropped, blahhhh.... went free-lot.

Got my Ranger up to 72, and now I can equip my Scout's legs. I leveled up my Archery in my party last night. Hmm... that's about it for an update.

Omega & Dynamis-Xarc

2009-05-03T14:11:58Z

We had done an Omega run on Saturday (technically it was Sunday, but who cares)

I finally got my Homam Gambieras. :)

Here is a video (taken by Roark) of us attempting Shadowlord.

We may have lost, but I really don't think it went as horribly as it could have.

Dynamis, Sandy Missions, and a Raged Simurgh

2009-04-20T18:53:31Z

Last Saturday we did a Dynamis Beaucedine. The Briault was the first thing to drop, and I was lotting against another white mage in the shell.

So I'm 3/5 WHM Relic. /joy

At the end we all fucked up, but we weren't going for the win.

I wanted to Fraps Sandy 9-2, but my Fraps crashed just as Nycon popped Nio-A & B. I managed to log in just as it was at 1/2 life.

Also, I got my Selene's bow with the help of Nycon and Shmedly and Beldy :)

I'm 1/2, it was a super duper easy peasy fight.

On Easter morning, Nycon logged in and told me Shmedly needed help (or didn't, but who doesn't wanna help friends anyway?) to camp Simurgh. While Lecreuset, Kelandra, Shmedly (& Glob) and Nycon were at Simurgh's pop, Beldy and I were on our way. Just as I had zoned into Rolanberry, it popped, and I'm not sure who claimed it, but Lec had died, and Kelandra was dying. Nycon managed to engage but Simmy Lullaby'd him, and the competition, a PLD/BLM, managed to Flash it and pull it down. He was doing well initially, but I guess he didn't have enough backup (I think just a RDM support), so then he bit it. I pulled hate because I was casting spells on Nycon (I guess he had party hate), and I died, but someone had claimed Simmy! LOL and we killed it raged, too!

Zm 4 & Dynamis San in a nutshell

2009-04-16T15:08:47Z

Beldy needed ZM4 for a long time, so on Easter night, we spent hours upon hours fighting Tonberries for Unlit Lanterns. We went through Den of Rancor with no aggro, and no one got lost (wow, a first). So, blah blah blah, we went in

I swear, I didn't even see Garuda get summoned while I was fighting it. But whatever, we broke the time record, etc. I don't know what else to put here.

Oh yes, we did Dynamis-San for farming, and I got RNG pants and WHM hat. (*'-')~ But unfortunately, I wanted 1 BRD and 2 SMN.

A New Dynamis Shell

2009-04-14T16:33:24Z

Nycon found us a Dynamis shell named Perseus, and the leader is Corvinus. They run on Tuesdays and Saturdays. I actually like Dynamis, it's just the past few shells have pissed me off. But this shell is really nice; I get to lot on pieces instead of jobs. Like, if I choose WHM and BLM drops in Dynamis-Jeuno, I can choose RNG and BRD in San d'Oria. Anyway we did Dynamis Windurst last tuesday. With the exception of a big juicy wipe, I have to say, these people are pretty good.

The funniest Pro/Shell macro:

Unfortunately, nothing really dropped, except for Mirage something and Samurai something. So that's about it.
