Get the Barfira Up Cause Carletta is Having a Meltdown...

Yeah... Both in real life and in game.

For those who may or may not know my Aunt Evie passed away on the 25th of this month. Tomorrow is her memorial at her house. Yes there will be no funeral, and her body is now a pile of ashes in a box. I really wanted to see her one last time resting in peace with no more pain, but her husband opted for something else. I hope I see her again in Heaven.

Oh and this week is my apartment complex's inspection. Well I just get what I can done and hope for the best.

I also forgot to call my sister to see if we can attend the open auditions of America's Got Talent. Missing the auditions isn't bothering me (I'd rather try out for the upcoming US X-Factor), but the thought of my singing voice going away is. Every time I sing the notes come out all wrong, broken, squeaky. I feel like I lost my opportunity to use my voice to make money and help my family as well as myself. But like my sister said I have a lot on my plate (as the rest of my family does) right now.

However, if I was in Dallas today I would not have left my Sky LS.

A lot of little thing in game are starting to bug me. First being told my gear sucks. Okay we all have opinions and thank you for telling me yours; however, I'm not going to change my gear cause you say I don't have enough "mind". Yes I know I have 3 mil in gil, but I'll spend it however I see fit. Plus I'm not a big fan of everyone having the same type of gear per job. What happened to being a unique character in game? Oh yes you can, but be sure to have the best gear like everybody else. -_-

Second (and really not part of Sky but annoying just the same) is someone telling me that I level too many jobs. There are twenty jobs in FFXI all with their own pros and cons. I enjoy playing all of them though there are some I do enjoy more than others. I at least would like to get all jobs to level 37. Well lately I've been told that I level too many of them, and it's a waste of gil and space. Wait? You're telling me how to spend my monthly fee of $12.95 per month? I think you just did. I like to grind for experience, farm for stuff, and craft. That is how I enjoy the game. I'm not totally anti-socail as I enjoy talking with people on my social linkshell. I wonder how far I would get if I told someone that I think HNM's among other events were stupid and a waste of time?

I have thought about leaving the game, but one thing is keeping me: 3D Secure. It's SE's new system for credit cards to which the card I'm using right now does not have and will expire later in the year. I don't know how to get a card with 3D Secure, or even if I can get a card with that. Would my bank card work? Will SE not ban me if there is a hick up in the system going from one card to another? Don't forget FFXIV will need 3D Secure as well. Arg.

Now for something completely different...

My sister won a Wii with Wii Fit, and she's giving it to me! I think that's been the brightest spot in my week thus far. Yeah I got Rank 2 in the Mog Bonanza and got Cleric's Mitts, but of course once I got them I was told I should have taken the 4 million gil. (sigh) Anyway... It's a thank you gift for taking her to Ls Vegas in the next couple of months. She was going to wait until my birthday, but that like eights months away. >_> Now I need to buy Animal Crossing City Folk.

I'm hoping typing all this out will help relieve some of the frustration, but if not...

DUCK!

When We Last Left Carletta...

She was fighting goblins and lesser manticors near the outpost in the Altepa Desert.

Yeah I suck at posting even in narrative form.

Yeah, I also mean to update this but other things get in the way either on the Net or in real life.

I'll go into more of real life later if you don't mind. I have been posting about that in FaceBook, and I get to this part of the Net soon enough. Plus I want to keep my mind occupied as much as I can.

I also had lunch, and I need to get my lazy butt up to the sink and wash dishes. Dang where's my moogle? My luck he took my Mog Bonanza marbles and headed south to Kazham. Sneaky bastard sword.

Oops... I'm mixing real life with the game again.

Cube probably chased my moogle out... Dang it I did it again...

Heh...
