Okay, I'll split this post into two parts. If you're not a gamer-type (I'm looking at you Ta2dMom!), just skip to the second part!

I got the 30 day trial of FFXI, as you may have read in a previous blog. I cancelled it after 3 days. I never had a very good impression of MMORPGs, and playing FFXI seemed to confirm my beliefs...

Haha, thanks for the heads up! I skipped wink.
You know, we packed up and moved to Vegas almost 10 years ago. Didn't know anyone. All we had was a job and an apartment. I had a 1 and a half year old and had found out the DAY BEFORE we moved that another one was on the way sooooo...... here we are almost 10 years later, him with a new job and me home with 3 kids now and we made it work. I wouldn't suggest Vegas if you don't like the hot but, I will tell you that things have a way of working out even if you're on your own. Phones can connect people over a huge distance. (I suggest an unlimited long distance plan though as we had some MAJOR phone bills wink)
I hope you can get the arcade thing off the ground. It sounds like a great idea. I hope you find a good investor and business partner.

Loki no leave...I have little friends as it is. frown Inventory sucks, so does working on the weekends! Happily I got off this weekend. I think maybe my boss felt bad about what happened to me on Sunday. Things will work out, in the end. kiss

Two posts in one day? Yes, because the earlier one wasn't interesting.

My AC broke, shortly after I made the earlier post.

For those of you who do not know me, let me explain just what this means.

To me, anything above 60 degrees Fahrenheit (or 15.5 Celsius) is "a little too hot". Anything above 70 F (or 21.1 C) is scorching. Above 80 F...

Haha, come live in Vegas. It was 114 according to the temp gauge in my van when we were out shopping yesterday. tongue
Oh and for the record, I have my a/c set at 76 so you'd die, but it's still over 30 degrees cooler in here than outside so it's a good balance wink.
(oh and I hate it here also, it's toooooooo hot!)
I hope your can get your a/c fixed soon.

oh and for what it's worth, my husband is an Ironworker and works outside in it all day. frown

So, now I've done it. I've broken down and actually got myself on a REAL MMORPG. NO, not World of Warcraft... I'm not THAT far gone, yet.

Mike and I were wandering about Arundel Mills, as we are wont to do, and we noticed that FFXI Online (and all 3 expansion packs) was on sale for $20. First month free! So I figured, why the...

I am soooooo not a gamer of any kind so all of that sounded like blah blah blah to me. Just like Charlie Brown's teacher lol.
I hope you're having a fantastic weekend and enjoying playing your game.

That was weird... I spent Friday night, Saturday night, and Sunday night out of the house. o_o I'm exhausted. I'm used to going out only one night a week.

Short entry. I'm sleepy!
ta2dmom:
Then, get some sleep and try to get out more. It's good for you tongue.

Running a community of ANY kind is stressful. Running a gaming community is like having your genitalia caught in a thresher. Let me explain.

Most of you know what MMORPGs are, yes? Think of things like Everquest, World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy XI, Ultima Online, yadda yadda. The problem I always had with these games are... what's the POINT? You fight and fight and gain...

Things are better, now! ^__^ Everything will work out.

Random thought; I want to open up an arcade. There's typical reasons for this; ie - Have no boss, run things the way I like, get paid to do pretty much nothing, and of course there's the free DDR!

However, there's a practical side to this, as well!

  • No arcades in the area! If you want...

I know I have issues. This is no secret. I define myself in terms of what I think others expect of me.

I know what everyone will say: Just be yourself.

That's the problem, here, folks. There is no "myself." I don't know what myself IS. Without having someone to have expectations of me, I just... fail at everything I do. I don't know how...

Well, I'm just having a miserable time of things. I'm damned lonely, right now. I don't know why, but all at once this big crushing ball of... bleh just fell on me. I'm my new diet, my aspirations, my hopes... I'm just doubting that any of it will have any point. I'm starting to think I should just putter along, doing just enough to get...

Don't give up! I'm proud of ya for doing the diet/exercise thing. You inspired me to go back to the gym. Let's keep each other going !!

Alright! Strict diet of no more than 2,000 calories a day (had only about 1700, today). I spend at least 40 minutes excersizing! Drinking lots of water (12 glasses, today!). Doing good!

I messed up a bit and went WAY too high on the sodium, but for a beginner that's not bad!

I lost 5 pounds over the weekend! I know that rate won't keep...

I want the body I had back in high school too. Sadly, after 3 kids, I don't see it happening. If only I can get "close" to it, I'll be good wink.
Good luck and congrats on the success so far.
Now stop watching me pee, it's just creepy!! tongue
