Yet another RO post
Posted by: Thymine on: November 30, 2009
My brother came home, and I started to lag so I decided I’d update this instead of dying on RO.
I am starting to get addicted to RO again… as in playing RO alone… and grinding in Anubis isn’t as boring now. But, my week “off” is over and I need to get back into gear school-wise. Only 2 more weeks + finals, then Kev and I will be full-time back on RO (maybe.. Kev will prob still work though).
I was prepping for a day of making+leveling new characters, and ran into Kohi!
I first made an archer, named Pop`n Music (Pop’n Music was taken, but only if you have OCD like me you will notice) who will eventually be an agi gypsy once she trans’ (eventually is the keyword…)
Kevin was hanging out on my high priest, while I leveled. He was playing with the “I am t-pain” iphone app… oh autotune…
Kevin sang “I’m on a boat” and… I have never heard a nerdy white guy say mother f***er sooooo many times…….it was hilarious but at the same time I wanted to wash his mouth out with soap
He emailed it to me, and I would share! except he told me not to. Ah Kevin is so cute haha.
After maybe half an hour, I changed to a dancer.
Kevin was playing with an Ocarina app too and made me guess what songs he played. They were easy though because they were all from Ocarina of Time.
After Kev went to bed, I made a few other new characters like another Sage, who will eventually be a FS Scholar (which Kev is excited to play). For now she’s a hindsight sage though – because they are fun 8D. I’m also happy no one had the name “Design” :B.
Also, after Gravity deleted my merchant 2 times since their server move… I finally made a new merchant for the alt account. I pray and hope they have that bug fixed now.
Currently I’m leveling the SinX. I would level her in ID, but I lost my build, Kevin lost my build, and Kevin is being lazy to re-write it. But, getting job levels in nubis solo is still pretty efficient. I will probably only get her to 7x during this event.. but we’ll see.
I also found HE BMs hiding on my H.Wiz! 8D yay.

^Was not a fun scene when dual-clienting on vista 
………. I realllllly need to update to Windows 7.
But I did eventually get her to 99 after an hour!
I transed and leveled her to my desired job level, then waited for Kev to get home from work so he could see her change – his “trophy wife” as he likes to say.
^They’re so pink! My high aco is level 70/50 and can change to a HP already, but..I’m still debating if I should change her at all (because she’d be ME) or just leave her as a high aco.
SinX get!
Kev and I went elu hunting after, for about 1.5 hours. We ended up getting around 60 elu, and a level for my Sader + some % on the HP.
I really need to work on getting my Whitesmith, scholar, and biochem in the 90’s range. As well as 99 other alchemist, as well as 99 the alt account… and 99 my main account trans classes. Too many goals, not enough time!
Happy belated Thanksgiving
Posted by: Thymine on: November 28, 2009
Ah thanksgiving, filled with turkey and mango kiwi salsa,
pumpkin pie on tacky tableware…
…and broken wooden swords…
I scared Kevin; I accidentally broke it… with one swing too..haha. I must have bottled up rage. It’s always the quiet ones
This was awhile back during the halloween event in which I got my crusader to level 80 (my “safe zone”).
^ One of my favorite Seinfeld episodes turned guild!
Kevin spent time with me today, and after 2.5 hours, we went from 52% to 90.2! I might finish the level off now, and get her to 99, then trans her with Kev… or I might sleep.
Either way, yay second trans on my alt account. I’m slowly making progress to get all trans on the second account…slowly…
I just want to trans all my characters, then 99 off my main account before my alt account. I have too many goals!
I’m pretty excited radio stations started playing holiday songs. I like this time of year for the weather & atmosphere even though I don’t do much for the holidays, it just seems “romantic”
Ninja turtles anyone?

I thought Kevin’s twin disappeared because he was onto me, but I saw him the past two days I’ve been at school. Of course, I have to be ninja and play it cool.
Classwise, we had to present our powerpoints. I did learn that my ‘rival” in that class is a Visual Animation & Game Programming major – like Marcel.
Anywho, David was excited about Ninja Turtles Forever. I watched and lived by Ninja turtles as a kid (and transformers with some barbie and GI Joe..haha) but I really do not remember too much from those days. David though, is still pretty hardcore with it.
SO, during break David wanted Pizza. Why? because it was the turtles choice of food!
Steven and I followed. David lives in the area so knows the spots, and brought us to the Pizza place “Big Mama’s & Papa’s Pizzeria“.
Originally it was Steven and David who were going to get pizza, but Steven told me to get something because I made him feel bad counting his coins. So, I did.
A slice was $4ish, and I thought it was a bit steep…but assumed it probably costs so much because of ingredients + quality.
We waited, and eventually the woman brought over three pizzas, which I thought were normal full-sized-pizza boxes. In my head I was thinking, “I didn’t order a full pizza…” but apparently that is the size of a “slice”.
I saved mine for home because we were already late back to class + it was huge. I waited for the guys to finish their slices though.
^David downing his pizza.
Notice his shirt? It was part of his captain N costume. 10 cool points if you know who that is!
I basically had a pizza bigger than my head!
“Home of the world’s biggest Pizza”
I believe it. My eyes and stomach believe it
I am going to hang that box on my wall.
Steven and David are gonna go back next week before class to eat the 36″ Pizza. They said I have to go, but I think I’d only eat a small slice. Those things are huge!
So, next quarter I have no classes with David. I had ONE class with him but he changed that class to another day! bah. Now I am semi-alone. I told him to try to get into the “Survey of the Game Industry” class… so hopefully he can get in that. If not, I will be oh so alones… I have Marcel for one class next quarter atleast.
David also told me he’s glad I’m his friend, and I told him I’m glad to have him as a friend too. I’m glad to have all the guys as friends tbh. Girls are just so judgmental most of the time, which if probably why I don’t like hanging out with “normal” girls. Gaming guy friends are the best…except when they make you feel inferior… but, none of my friends do so
On another note, David also mentioned he thought I was a cutie when we first met haha. Why thank you sir, I’m flattered. 
Powerpoint, LT weekend

^My Powerpoint assignment on “Myself” (how vein).
The professor wanted us to do our only powerpoint assignment on ourselves. I really don’t like talking about myself. I am very ninja and like to keep things low key. So, I RAGED.. and was going to put all this false information, like I was born and raised in England, while my father was a renowned scientist and my mom owns a bakery (all lies). I don’t like to lie though, so I put as much/little info as I could, then filled the space with pictures because who doesn’t like pictures?
I actually like how colorful it turned out haha. I am a colorful person maybe? I like colors.
I went on the goldline yesterday, and Sundays should be cool off days.. but nooo. LT was packed full of people and it was kind of annoying on my behalf because I don’t like being in spaces with a lot of people blocking your way.
I think I’d fit perfectly in New York in the sense of parkour walking (thank you Kev for reminding me of the name).
Anywho,
^I got some things for Kevin’s care package. I would have gotten more but I wanted to gtfo asap. I’ll go back on non-busy days where tourists wont make me nervous.
I can has award?

Who won a prize? I won a prize!
The prize was for my speech! We had our Visual presentations, and Miah said he’d give out prizes to the 1)humorous 2)inovative 3) page (from a tv show) presentations.
I did my speech on Memes. Surprisingly, not too many people knew about them… but I did get alot of laughs. I even imitated my favorite meme Bubb Rubb, saying “WooWooo”. I was so nervous to do it, but I did! and got an outburst of laughter. Miah said I made him laugh the most, especially because of that, so I thought I’d get the humorous award. Instead I won the innovative award!
He said it was inovative because of the topic I chose (Memes). He found it interesting how in a class of designers, because we are the people who create memes. Instead he liked my approach to relating it to society within a design class.
I mentioned things such as how our society is staring to talk in lolspeak and eventually our society is going to transform the language and “o hai gaiz” will be the proper way for future generations to write “oh hi guys” (coined by my Linguistics friend Kelp).
So woo. Prize!
This was in the Innovative goodie bag..haha. “Innovative products”: A cushioned seat belt comforter, and the ever so innovative mouthwash.
I’m glad I won this award though, being innovative is good right?! plus the humor award got a highschool musical barbie doll thing… because Miah finds nothing more hilarious than High School Musical.. and if I got that I wouldn’t know what to do with it.
At least my prizes are practical in some way!
I’m glad I got people to laugh.
I would like to thank the following memes for their appearance in my visual presentation:
Yes, I mimicked those Woo Woos, which is something I wouldn’t usually do. When I was practicing I kept thinking about Kev saying it and thus making me always laugh.
Miah said I should have put more pictures/examples.. and I wanted to except I was afraid of the time constraint.. because I did have a bunch of memes I wanted to show but my speech kept going over 6 minuets with them.
Anywho, I’m proud of myself! because I was so nervous giving my speech/standing in front of people!
Also, my mom called my during my speech! It was embarassing, my phone went off and I couldnt turn it off since I was in front of the class… so I had to stop for a second and say that was my phone going off. Altha was nice to turn it off for me. But ugh. My mom calls me at the worse times.
We had a nude model in our drawing class today, an it was a female. I remember when I got a male before Kevin was like “QQ”.
Models aren’t fun for me because… their poses are often timed, and I take a long time trying to figure out my proportions and stuff. Plus I’m a generally slow drawer (I like to take my time usually). That’s why these are all not a full body image.
I got my schedule for next quarter today. I only had to make one adjustment because my color theory class was at 8 a.m – 12p.m. and I would have a 4 hour gap between classes…and I live semi far and wouldn’t know what to do with that time.
I actually went in, and it too 5 seconds! It was amazingly fast! I’m glad I got to switch my color theory times. Plus I get to keep my mornings <3.
I’m very much excited for my Game Survey class next quarter too! because it’s the first game related class I get to take finally!
I also got a picture of Miah, who was sitting infront of me for the presentations. He’s so hip and stylish!
ume mmm/school rant

お母さんrandomly bought cake. It was funny because my friend Janet asked if I liked cake that day, and thus I craved it.. then I got some without going out or asking.
I missed my design class last week, which made me sad because that is my favorite class. But, I was feeling under the weather thus slept in more. I asked Max the next day in my drawing class what was due, so I did the work when I got a bit better. We had to make a wallpaper using an animal, shape, and plan repeated atleast 3 times. I chose a platypus. I don’t know why.
^This is how I finished it, but there’s alot of negative space. The professor agreed, and let me keep it to work on it more. She just said to add a color, apparently we were allowed to use one color only. The rest has to be 3 different shades of gray, white and black. I am thinking maybe blue.
There’s one more assignment I have to turn in as well, but she didn’t chew me out for it. Surprisingly, Marcel and Steven both missed class too! but she’s more worried about them versus me.
She gave us another assignment for the thanksgiving break, to design circles with our names… I have my designs drawn out and I’ll post them eventually.
We’re also getting close to finals! and I’m excited because for the design class we’re designing our own munnys! So excited
Other school related things:
I think I’ve established my friends for the year haha.. Marcel, David, and Steven. Maybe I’ll make more? but quality over quantity I always say.
Also, (semi rant ahead) Marcel and I both thing these two girls in our class hate us? They’re..those trendy type of girls. One of them is from France so she kind of acts a bit high and mighty since she’s foreign and her friend is your typical fashion girl. I’m not saying all fashionable girls are mean… ’cause they’re not. BUT if you had a stereotypical definition, that is what these girls are.
I know I could be paranoid, and I thought I was at first, so I just started observing. They’re in my computer class as well, so in one situation one of the girls sits all the way in the front away from me. But, came all the way to me to ask for the computer assignment. I think this is their way of “snooping” on me?/looking at my stuff? Other then things like that, they also make random snark remarks, and “dog” us.
It makes me feel kind of bad, but then I remember what they think doesn’t really matter. I don’t care if you plan to go to Paris in the summer, I don’t care that you like to flaunt your money. Just ’cause I like videogames or talk about them with Marcel and the guys doesn’t make me less of a girl – as I am very much into fashion and make up, and have some brand items ranging from Shiseido to Coach (and hopefully Vivienne Westwood soon). If anything I think I maybe better because I’m open minded about people and don’t judge at face value. Also, as long as I do better then them in the design class and computer class, I don’t care.
Anyways, I thought it was amusing Marcel felt the same way.
The goldline finally finished and is extended. It goes straight to Little Tokyo now, and thus I don’t have to walk. Which is really nice. Easy access for me. I like how the train stop is right in the middle (kind of) so you can either walk to the mall, the museum, or to the village. I think if you’re not familiar with the area though, you wont know where to go.. because the train stop is surrounded by pretty plain buildings. I had to help a few people who were walking around looking for shops too.
Anywho, I had to go to office depot there to get some supplies to my design class.
I got ADD and ended up buying something I didn’t really need… but it was cute. It’s a Whale shaped 4-usb port! It’s cute! Its eyes light up too. I think if they put the main connector on the top of the whale, rather at the mouth, it would have been much better because it’d look like his blow hole! I think it was a cute/good buy..because my belkin one is starting to screw up. Plus it was only $5ish!
Since I was there, I stopped by Nijiya to get a snack/dinner.
^From the makers of karamucho, a spicy potato chip, comes “Suppamucho”. It’s ume flavored potato chips. I have a love of ume, plus I like the karamucho chips so I had to try them.
Ume is one of those Japanese flavors you either hate or like (another is natto..haha).
It reminded me a bit of sea salt and vinegar… because it does use plum vinegar. The taste is more subtle, sweet, and not as strong as sea salt and vinegar. It’s really good. Since my train stop goes straight there now, I think I should pick up a bag for Kevin to try since he loves Sea Salt and Vinegar.. Im not sure if he likes ume but I think he’ll like these.
I’ll probably update tomorrow, but either way Happy Early Birthday Kev.

Monday was computer day, so of course there’s no real projects or anything to show. We’re doing powerpoint..which is a no brainer.
I also got rolled spicy tuna for dinner (yeah it doesn’t look pretty there). It’s actually fresh! and good! versus the Safeway sushi from Davis.
I also have this Watermelon Arizona that is taking me hours to finish. (I started at 10, it’s now almost 2)
I got out of the house a bit late, and so while I was leaving I saw this big square placed at an angle ontop o my mail box. It didn’t even fit it! I was curious so I looked, and it was a package for me! It took me a second to realize what it was, because I wasn’t really expecting any packages…
It was my vinyl I ordered from the band You Love Her Coz She’s Dead! I placed an order for their new release, as well as back order on their older vinyl. So, because it was both pre-order + back order I knew I had to wait… but I’m happy they didnt’ forget about me!
I was in a rush so I brought it with me to school. I noticed the package said 1xvinyl sticker, so I thought maybe it was just one of the albums… but when I got to open it, it was actually all of them tucked in neatly to keep from breaking over seas! plus a few bonuses
I’m # 379 of 500 for their Me Versus You Limited Vinyl
Signed! The awesome perks of buying straight from the artist
Also, their was this CD-R in the package… and it was blank, so I thought maybe they accidentally placed it in there?… while listening to their singles on the record player, I was thinking how it sucks my vinyl converter isn’t that great… and though it would be cool if the CD-R had the tracks… so I decided to check the disc, because I was curious.
Low and behold they did include them on CD-R for me. How considerate! I think they’re even more wonderful now♥
All the tracks are awesome. I have a devoted love for chiptunes, and they use a lot of electronic-8bit samples which drew them to me in the first place. I also must say I love you again to Kitsune Maison or introducing me to this awesome duo♥.
Video for “Dead End” from their debut EP Inner City Angst. This is the second track on Side A.
I recommend all their songs, but Superheroes is the first song I heard that got me into them, plus it reminds me of Kev and I.
Friday part in my room woo.

Currently my brother is having a birthday party in the back yard, with a crap load of people I don’t know. They have his flatscreen tv set up outside and they’re playing games, a BBQ, and booze.
I was invited, but, I’m shy + I don’t feel comfy with his friends.
Anywho, I tried to sleep lastnight, but couldn’t and spent all night playing cafeworld on facebook…… I laughed when my brother made me play for him, but it’s addicting.
Around 6-7 a.m. I went to do my homework for my drawing class. It was a landscape assignment, so I did the hills overlooking my backyard as the sun rose. I tried taking a picture but the sun shinning through my blinds got in the way. It was drawn on 18×24 inch paper (as usual)
Also before I left for school today, I recieved VERY EARLY:
All my amazon packages/orders. I also got my memory card yesterday. Of course in the excitment that I got my packages a week or two early from the estimated dates, I ripped the packages open.
I now have my very own ps2. All the other systems in the house are my brothers. I also re-ordered Katamari Damacy and We Love Katamari, because my previous games were taken and never returned by the species known as “jerko ex-boyfriend”.
I really wanted to plug it in and play right then, but I had to get ready and get to class. I also recieved my speech midterm grade today, I got a B+… which is better then I expected. So as of now I have 3 A’s and 1 B+. Hopefully.. things will… be as good by the end of the quarter.
My next speech is next week.. and it’s a visual speech. I am thinking of demonstrating to the class how to mod a slim ps2… but we’ll see!
My speech teacher let us out earlier, after he gave us our grades… so I had 2 hours to kill before my next class. One hour was spent playing Devil survivor, but my batteries ran low…. so I decided to get food at the store to kill some time. They actually sell green tea there! brands I know! prices were relatively similar to Marukai and Nijiya for the bottle, but… the canned version also sold for the same price as the bottle.. which is odd. I also picked up pocky to share with Marcel.
When I was paying, the grocery bag-man asked if I wanted paper or plastic, and I smiled and said I would just take it as is. He then said, “You have a lovely smile” out of no where. I wasn’t sure if I should have been kinda freaked out or flatter… but he was nice so I will say flattered… That’s the second time that has happened to me at a super market
.
For the drawing class today, we were learning to draw faces… he made us draw an upside down image – which he likes to do to teach us to see lines instead of… the face?… Of course I flipped it right side up for you guys to see.
I think my face came out rather proportional and looks just like the original drawing… (for an upside down drawing) and it’s usually rare I like something I do 
;
Our homeowrk is to draw a self portrait, so he made us draw parts of the human face today. These were mine. I didn’t get to finish the ear because he gave us a break, so I went with Marcel to the lounge, and when we came back he decided to move from the ear to hair.
Marcel and I ended up talking a lot about games today haha… mainly.. PS3 titles, but other titles as well. I asked him what games I should get if I got one, I also asked him if he had the 60gb model, which he does (jealous).
He was nice enough to stay with me for a few minuets in the cold… as I waited for my ride too. There we talked about future plans, and I just remember saying “I think one of my main goals is to not make a shitty game”. It’s fun when you can related with people!
Well, I have my PS2 plugged in finally, katamari running, and… sugar. I say tonight will be a fun night. (Alone…haha…)
Moo moo moo

Cows have been the subject for the past two days, and now the song from the Wizards Baker episode of Home Movies is stuck in my head. “moo moo moo i am a cow…“
Love the song, but that episode depresses/bugs me sometimes haha.
Thank you to James, Janet, and most of all Kevin, for leaving feedback/ helping with the final product. Thanks to Saru and Jeff for also helping me decide which version to do, and the cows won by a landslide.
moo moo moo, i am a cow.
My hands still hurt from the detailed work (windows, thin/small lines, etc). I swear I will get carple tunnel someday, and thinking about that makes me sad.
All of this is paper cut out, and I have to say again, my hands hurt. I am very happy with the results of my symmetry assignment though. My homage to Katamari hehe.
these are details:
I also moved my fabric and some not so expensive wigs to this container. I have a lot of cloth I didn’t remember having… I’m sure there is more too..somewhere in this room.
Also, I got this random text message?… I am not Tammy… nor do I know a Jessica or a scooby… but the fact this person typed…horribly, made no sense, and the mentioning of aobituary, I blocked the number haha.
Maybe I should censor their number anyways, but…. I show no mercy for bad texting.
