The Question Mark of DOOM

Now... I feel like updating this blog with a story about an adventure I had on final fantasy XI yesterday. I've been playing for 2 years now and the dorks who are my friends keep requesting a story of me on final fantasy in my blog... again. So, i'll share the story of "THE QUESTION MARK OF DOOM" for all of you who care and have nothing better to do than fill your life with me. Thanks.

So, today, Myloko hates:

The QUESTION MARK OF DOOM.

For everyone reading this who doesn't know, let me fill you in. In 3 areas of the game there's a "???" that appears at random near a warping station (crags as they're called in the game). And because this is a wierd game, the ??? speaks. If you click and talk to it, it shouts profanities at you and asks for items. Nice little bugger eh? So, if you feel nice (ie: stupid) you can trade items to the ??? which actually happens to be a goblin called the Goblin Archaeologist. Seems simple, right? Well, it is and it isn't. Sadly, you can only trade one item per day to the stupid bugger so therefore, in order to pop his goblin ass, you need some friends (ie: equally retarded idiots) to also trade items so that he'll come out of his hole and fight you. Simple? Sure, if you can find enough idiots, that is.

Yesterday, I warped my self to one of the crags and waited for my friend who was taking his sweet ass time going through his junk. As I sat there, I noticed the ??? on the ground. Whoo! It's my job in the game to blow things up so why not kill something that actually drops something of monetary value? So, I walk up to the thing and the bish says "Gimme yer goods!" The game pointed about that he was just below the surface which meant that with a few more items, he'd come out. So, I waited a few more minutes and my friend finally came. So, like I did, he trades some junk to the bugger... but he fails to come out. The game now says that even clsoer to the surface. Perfect, one more person should do it, right?

So, since I really wanted this thing to come out I called into another one of my friends to help pop it. Again, she gives it something... but no goblin. The game now reads "very close to the surface." At this point, the friend who I waited for decided he had to go help another friend and left (damn bugger >.>) and the friend who warped in also had to go because she was late for work. So, what does Myloko do? She stands there on top of the ??? waiting for another friend to come... but somehow, everyone just HAPPENS to be busy >.>

After some more time passed (and some bugging on my part) a nice white mage comes along and offers to help pop the thing. So, like the others, she trades it an item... but still no gobby. NOW the game reads "extremely close to the surface." Hot damn! One more should do it! So, since another game day had passed, I traded it another item. So what does it say now? "Just beyond the top layer" DAMN! HOW MANY WAYS DOES THE GAME HAVE TO SAY THAT ITS RIGHT UNDER THE GROUND? This is when I wish that they had shovels in the game ._.

So, after waiting a bit more, another friend comes back from being away and I persuade (ie: bribe) him into coming out and popping the thing. Cmon, one more, right? So, since he was a being a baby and didn't want to pay for a teleport, I had to warp back to where he was, get some innocent sucker I know to warp us, and then wait for him as he took his sweet time coming to join us. But, after a few minutes he comes and we're finally on our way. As we reach the crag though... I notice a group of people standing around... standing around the EXACT same spot where I left the ??? just a few minutes ago. To my horror, the group told me, "Yeah! I just traded it one item and BAM! He popped! He was REALLY weak too! Took me two shots to kill him! And he dropped 2 beastcoins! Man... i'm having such a lucky day!" This is when I felt like:

a) Smacking him
b) Smacking my friend for being so slow
c) Smacking my head against the wall
d) All of the above

Damn... yesterday just wasn't my day online. But, it was my bunny's 3rd bithday :D She was adopted last year from the SPCA and her name's Lucky ;) She's a flemish giant who weights 5.2 kg (around 12lbs) and she likes bananas XD

The New Druggie

Yeeeeeeeeep... I'm on drugs. No, they aren't illegal. Yes, they were prescribed by a doctor. No, they aren't addictive and yes, they taste bad. I should know, I can't swallow pills so I have to crush them. But besides that, Myloko's in pain... again. You see, I had to go for another operation on Thursday because the last one that caused me HORRIBLE pain 2 months ago just happened to FAIL so they had to start all over again from scratch. At least this time, they didn't give me tylenol 3s but some new painkiller that works... and puts me to sleep! I like taking naps so this gives me time to relax a bit more and get some more zzz. This pain isn't too bad though but now I pretty much miss the entire summer by doing nothing. But that's not a big deal, I don't even own a bathing suit. I do have these odd cravings for sugar though, maybe its the pills. Right now, I'm not hating too much. I just feel tired. The only thing I could really rant about is the scary old ladies in the hospital. And by scary I mean the ones who have obviously been off of their rocker for a few decades.

So today's piss off is:

Crazy, old ladies in hospitals.

Everytime I go in for surgery there's always some loud person who makes my head feel like its going to explode. The first time I was beside a little girl who had her tonsils taken out and because she was in pain. She decided that she had to SCREAM all night long and they couldn't move me to a private room because there wasn't enough nurses so I didn't sleep that night and I think its safe to say that none of the ward did either. The second time I was moved right into a private room so it was nice and quiet and I had an unlimited number of visitors at a time. The third time was a same day surgery so I had surgery, woke up, and they let me go before dinner. The only problem that time was when they were wheeling me to the door to leave I kinda puked everywhere. The fourth time I was just wheeled into my room (which happened to be shared) and the woman beside me wouldn't stop yelling her stories about her children. When you have a migrane or anything of that sort you know how sensitive your head can be to sound. That's what it's usually like when you wake up from a surgery. So you can see why I'd be pressuring people to put tape on her mouth @_@ Yes, she was told REPEATEDLY to keep it down because of my head and she still didn't.

So this last time, it was going pretty well. I had a private room, decent service and all was going well... until 5am... when this crazy lady decided that she wanted to SCREAM AT THE TOP OF HER LUNGS CRYING BLOODY MURDER because "that's how she tells that she's in pain." I know that the ENTIRE ward was woken up, even my nurse who was on break and was taking a nap was woken by her yells. You'd figure that a mentally retarded person would be in the mentally retarded ward... so why was she near me? @_@ I swear... everything's out to get me.

Wang CHUNG!

I honestly don't know who or what a "Wang Chung" is, but it sounds like something you'd say after you smack someone. This may seem hard to believe, but I can't bring myself to hit others. I don't know why, I guess i'm just more of a "words" person. But besides that, not much has been happening lately. I hit over 100 profiles views.... so 100 different people must love/hate me. But hey, any publicity is publicity, right? Wrong.

You know what Myloko hates today?

Scary wierdos.

There just happens to be a LOT of wierdos out there. And by out there I mean on like... "chat rooms" and "aim" and "the street corner over there." You know them, those wierdos you've never met... but they just want to know ALL about you... and by all about you I mean naked photos. Somehow, EVERY wierdo on the internet assumes:

A) No matter HOW old you are, you have naked photos of yourself.
B) You're a whore and would be willing to share them with a COMPLETE stranger.
C) You're as scary as them.
D) You're American.

Now, I'm not bashing Americans, but EVERY weirdo so far to ask the above has been american. Now, what do you think that's saying for modern society? We're obviously raising a bunch of sick, 14-16 and 40+ year old perverts who want every woman to be a whore and show them their bodies for their sick pleasure. AND THEN THEY WONDER WHY STORIES LIKE THIS ARE ALWAYS ON LAW AND ORDER! XD I hate to break it to you people, but this is happening EVERYDAY. It's one of the reasons why I no longer use aim. Somehow, random wierdos can search for me, and then ask me for naked photos of myself that don't exist. It's pathetic and disgusting. And if one of you wierdos happen to be reading this, please do the rest of us sane people a favor and check yourself into a mental institution NOW!

But, on a better note, I found a picture of me taken on the weekend in my kimono... and my wheelchair XD My leg isn't even 80% yet so for long distances and stuff I use a chair ^^v
