FFXI: Recent events.

In recent events I have taken my corsair to 42 farther then I thought I would go with the small ammount of gil I have left, and my refusal to farm because I'm lazy.It annouces itself to me that someone who has leveled the ultimate farming job...never farms, I find it is somewhat of a paradox because I always wanted to solo things no one else could and I never find myself even doing anything with thief besides walk around and kill stuff too weak or with other people.

My big goal as Thief was to duo Serket someday but with the rage timers seems that dream got crushed before it could be realized. If I ever get around to draging my ass to the boyahada tree cloister to level my evasion skill maybe I will find more motivation to solo things...and also I guess getting rank 8 windy and getting the +10 eva skill gloves would be nice as well.

So many jobs half leveled, so many things unfinished. I want to pimp out my thief but to do that it seems I would need to either farm alot...or join one of those god forsaken HNM shells that I doubt I'd ever have the time for due to being a part time worker, part time uncomited slacker, I guess I don't want to hold stuff back for anyone I have always been like that if I think I'll be a burden I usually stop...because I hate when people have the opinion of me that I'm no good. In turn this has fuled my half assed rage to level a much more usefull and wanted job...started with warior...got it to 37 decided hell no it's a good sub but expensive and somewhat slow invite job...wich I had enough of as thief. Whm/Blm/Bst all met the same fate at the same level, 7-8 usually the most boring levels of any job I decided to quit these due to extreme boredom of the job.

ToA come out, and puppetmaster intruiged me, but after getting it to 18 found it to be a job I would love to level but will never level it because it would take as long as thief. Corsair...I don't know why I picked this job up probably because /mage is not a looked up on subjob and I have a fully finished sub for the job albeit the lesser of the two sub *I plan to level ranger to 37 as well soon* Ninja I doubt I will ever touch this as a subjob though and when corsair reaches 48~ I will force myself to level Ranger even just a few levels so I can continue Corsair.

Corsair is a fun job, expensive as it may be...but thats a sacrifice I must grudgingly accept.

Once my corsair reaches 60 if I have not finished up to the 60 cap mission fights in CoP I will probably start seeking a group to finish up CoP I want a rajas ring damn it! The only downside about leveling as Cor, is like Thief I have to explain my role in the party over and over again and the fact people don't understand that mages and meele need to stay apart *think they never had a bard in there lives!* and having limited bullet reserves I find myself to be really picky about the parties I get and where I get them otherwise I feel like I'm shooting my gil for nothing but lousy exp...

I find my social linkshell empty somedays when I log into it...kind of depressing because I do love to talk to people I know but when there are people I at least have someone to talk to while I do my daily milling about in FFXI.

I am once again considering leveling my cooking past 70, the dauntingly long recipe lists and limited inventory space I have even with 2 mules and a moglocker always veers me away...I think this time I may stay on target because I really need the gil >.<.

I think those are my ramblings for the day... My next blog entry will be my own review on the anime Samarai Champloo ^^ I found it quite entertaining.
