Er, if anyone's been wondering what happened to me - almost two weeks without posting? Probably a record - I occasionally go through extreme bouts of inability to be at all social. During these times, dealing and interacting with others becomes too hard for me, and I tend to fall off the face of society in every way possible, and I emotionally disconnect from most everyone around me. I do not know why this happens. I deal with it when it happens, even though that's hard. It's actually more comfortable staying like it, and it takes effort to pull myself back out of it. (I wonder if the ridiculous amount of posting I did in February was a subconscious attempt to head this off - forcing myself to socialize is the only way around it.) Someone called me on hiding this afternoon, and I'm feeling a little bit more normal, anyway, so, er, Hi. I'm here and posting again.

Mostly I have spent the last while attending my classes, doing my homework (and finding out my 2003 copy of Excel can't make the graphs required for class, that was fun), going to work, and then, in my free time, conducting some cooking experiments but, for the most part, sitting at home watching Top Gear (they've lots of episodes I've not seen here) and playing FFXI with my brother (because he's not included in the massive pool of people I ignore while in one of my phases). We camped a few notorious monsters, were murdered in a few besieged events, collected and traded in entirely too many eggs for the ~~Easter event~~ Egg Hunt (as a result of this, my Mog House is now in a state of CONSTANT NOISE. If by "constant" one means "every fifteen minutes." Turns out the new furnishings have sound effects), and we took Nabiki and Hisi through a few more of the Wings of the Goddess missions. Summary of events: omgwtf male mithra

Also, I saw another lawn covered in plastic flamingos ... yesterday? Madness. And my BotCon invoice came in. I'm in the blue group! Which means, if I want to get to MSTF (which I most definitely do), I will probably have to skip picking up the at-con exclusives until later on in the weekend.

A very short conversation with my mother (because my parents aren't entirely exempt from the group of people I start ignoring) a night or two ago - wherein I revealed I'd written a few more parts for "GT" (my mother read and actually liked "GT". Yeah, it surprised me, too) - saw her voicing the same conclusion that I'd reached earlier. I probably ought to drop the Offshoots. My inner thirteen year old protests this vehemently, as she appears to enjoy writing the things. Could I get a few opinions on this? It's still weird to me to think I've written things featuring real people, and we all know I can't be trusted to give myself sound writing advice. Other people seem to like them, and if I look at ... everything I've written and finished in the last year (I started writing/plotting out "GT" in March of last year. That is odd to think about) has been at the request, or at least encouragement, of other people.

Not real good at writing for myself, but then I'm content with playing things out in my head, so that's not much of a surprise is it?

... I'm not feeling verbose enough to bother typing this out more than I have and I don't want to exceed my current self-imposed word-limit for the month. I write for people because I don't feel the need to write for myself! SHOULD WE TRY A POLL?

[Poll #1156599]

My answers are lame because I am only filling this out so it stops prompting me to. Shut up, little boxes.

And if anyone has anything they want to see, I will take pretty much any request. Ask

ineptmagicuser (and I should probably forbid her to answer this post but I am not, because I apparently don't value my sanity in the least). She's got me writing something that might be romance if you squint at it hard enough. Seriously. What is that, Aniko.

Edit:
Er, comment insanity happened. You can ignore it. Or join in. Whichever.

I dunno, I'd rather hear "His" than "BE MY GIRLFRIEND PREEAAZE?!"

... DX

But they only want to be your really, really good friends!

(I change accounts sneakily, >.>;; Like ninja!)

BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE THEIR FRIEND!

(haha, well, I changed, too! Aya turned up, but didn't want to pull her own journal into here. XD)

(you have seen nothing! nothing I say!)

I ARE THIEF! I SEE EVERYTHING!

See, 'cause my compass has that handy radar thingy...

Doesn't almost all jobs have that?

Uh? I dunno? o_O

IT'S NOT LIKE THE FOURTH WALL IS STILL STANDING AT THIS POINT, ANYWAY. I CAN SEE RED DOTS ON MINE. That are mobs! And I think most get the yellow dots and blue dots and green dots and all, but the red ones, too? NO.

AND IT DRIVES ME NUTS WHEN I PRACTICE OTHER, NON-THIEFY SKILLS BECAUSE THE RED DOTS AREN'T THERE.

They are on smn :O!. . . /pokes at the red dots

THEY AREN'T ON RED MAGE. Or warrior, I think. Maybe not mnk, either.

I DON'T KNOW, it's really not like I do anything other than THFY THF THF THF. XD

\o.O/

Because thf is nifty! Almost as nifty as smn XP!
/runs and hides

LIES LIES LIES LIES THF IS BETTER THAN YOU AND EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE ELSE EVER.

ALSO ANSWER MY QUESTION! >:O

YEAH, YOU KIND OF STARTED THAT WHEN YOU POINTED OUT HOW I HAD YOUR NAME WRONG.

:P

NO, IT IS YOUR FAULT FOR SPELLING IT WRONG.

SO THERE! XP

HEY, have you been poking around in the past, by the way?

Not much! I have recently started to do some of the quests though, and Shadow made me try campaign ^^!

GOOD! 'Cause you and me and Nabiki were looking around there earlier! Nabi and I were doing a little more - just talking to some of the people in town, actually - but I was thinking we should go back all together and do stuff again!

'Cause that was a lot of fun! :D?

That would be awesome ^^~! We defiantly should!

Shadow needs to do the quests as well ^_^ he could come as well if he wants?

WHAT. NO. HOW DARE YOU EVER ASK.

XD

Of course he can! XD

(Nabs and I did go to, uh... the inlet place off Jugner to look for that rock like Kocco wanted (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Redeeming_Rocks) and to run errands for the Bastok guy (http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Better_Part_of_Valor), but other than that, we just talked to people in Windurst.)

I changed my alliance back to San D'oria! I felt so weird being anything else ;--;

I KNOW! o_@;;

But I still like checking out the other cities! Sort of. I don't really like seeing all the death and destruction. :x

And we probably shouldn't be messing around like we are, maybe? BUT WHAT IF WE ALREADY DID?

I HATE TIME TRAVEL IT IS SO CONFUSING.

But, yeah! San d'Oria! But yay for helping everyone else, too. XD

(I'm so morbid, perhaps, but part of me wants to tell you to never, ever, ever do anything else in Windurst, and to just stay out of the past, because, Hisi, if anything happens to Kocco or her mother I am going to sob like you wouldn't believe, and I don't know if there are records you can check to find out.)

(I KNOW, I AM SO SCARED. I can't remember seeing any of them in Windurst before! But maybe they went somewhere else? Mhaura?! Kazham?! I DON'T KNOW! And I don't know where I'd begin to look and I don't know if I wanna know, and, augh! Dx)

(I just...!

It's not fair!

WHAT IF ROHN DIES?)

(Anyone with no idea who I am talking about, Kocco Ehllek is an orphan who was adopted by Rohn Ehlbalna. They are so adorable (http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c126/HisiM/FFXI/Other/hugz1.png?t=1205908724), and it is heartbreaking to think Rohn might not make it through the war (http://i26.photobucket.com/albums/c126/HisiM/FFXI/Other/hugz2.png?t=1205908725). A lot of Mithra were killed.)

(NOT THINKING ABOUT THAT. LALALALALA~)

(and, oh, it really doesn't look good, does it? I have a clear memory of one of the trailers for this set showing a little Mithra - identical to Kocco - kneeling over the body of an adult Mithra in town. Lots of other bodies around, as well.

Though I can't remember if the model of that Mithra matches Rohn's.)
