Mega Super Enormous Update Time! December 8, 2006

It’s been a long time since I’ve posted because so much has been happening and I have gone through a lot. More than I think I can ever express through a blog. I have a ton of screenshots that I’m going to post (I took them just for this blog,) but I just can’t manage to do it tonight.
So… where to begin…
Well, Reeroo had to cancel her FFXI account due to billing issues. She had some financial emergencies arise and everything had to be cut back. So, Klaive is waiting for her February – March return to Vana’diel. It actually came at an interesting time because I had been reaching the point where I was having less and less time to play. I haven’t done any meriting yet, but I’ve been playing most nights with Blackmutoh and Darkpath, doing besieged and kicking ass.
AlphaMalevolent’s discernment reached “Average” and he learned both the “Gallop” ability and the “Auto-Regen” ability, so at day 70 (69 was my last report,) I have him slowly working his stamina back up. I’m quite proud of my bird. 
Blackmutoh maxed out his sword (finally) and I tweaked my build for maximum damage without merits or god gear, so that’s cool.
I’ve settled on a new schedule and will now be playing FFXI on most weekdays from 2:30pm – 9:00pm PST, which should give me more time rather than ending up with me being exhausted before I even start playing. And since I’ll start in the afternoon, I’ll avoid the frigid factor which has been leading me to lie down in my bed “for just a few minutes” and subsequently passing out when I should be playing.
Black, Darkpath, and I have been doing our low to mid-20s static… my paladin is 25 now and I upgraded from beetle +1 to chain +1. I can’t wait til 31 when I can use my kampf set and really kick ass.
I’ve been writing a lot… but random stuff more than one actual story. I’ve been learning that my mind is more depraved than even I ever knew before.
Tonight, I went out to eat and had delicious pad thai and a few Aku Akus to drink… so I’m basically ready to go to bed as I write this. I can’t think of anything else to say at the moment, but I’m sure there’s something I’m forgetting. Bah.
Anyway… night.
Presenting Vana’diel’s Newest Destrier… AlphaMalevolent! October 29, 2006

So, I finally got my room completely clean. I have more to do tomorrow, but I finished my work tonight and decided to log onto the game.
I checked in on my dear and beloved chocobo, AlphaMalevolent at the stables, and heard the report on how he delivered packages again today.
That was your typical, run-of-the-mill report. Nothing unusual. And then… it happened!
He grew up! 
So I fed him a couple of Vomp Carrots, changed his care plan to include nothing but delivering messages, took him for a Long Walk, registered him to ride, tossed him a Chocolixer, and read him the Story of an Impatient Chocobo about 8 times before he was exhausted again.
I then told everyone on the Linkshell about my new grown up Destrier, and Darkpath was nearby so I decided to introduce the two of them.
It was lots of fun getting to see my first exotic Chocobo in action. Darkpath liked him, too. I think it’s safe to say that AlphaMalevolent has made a new friend.
