and trying not to fall
I want some Rice Chex.
I joined some communities. Just a few. Anime and Tao related. I'd like to take another look when I have time to see if I'd like any others. Maybe some martial arts ones. Or a meditation one, maybe? I don't know.
Speaking of meditation..it's been a LONG time. I feel wrong because of it, sometimes. I need to sort out a daily schedule…not that I don't want to be spontaneous…it's just that my time seems to slip from me so quickly. I wish I was a morning person.
I finished Serial Experiments Lain a while ago. Let me say this:
Absolutely fantastic.
As for the book I'm reading, I still have a small chunk left to go. This book should not have been in the travel writing section, as the author rarely goes much into what he sees, but more into political and cultural issues. Regardless, it is still a good book in my humble opinion.
I don't really have anything to discuss at the moment. Today has been very busy already. All of the people from Mildenhall are coming onto Fairford….so today has been busy. I took yesterday off and did….not much. Played some Planetside, and showed Steph how to play a bit. We created a character for her on my account. If she decided to play it more, I'd probably get another account for her so that when we get our table and get her computer set up…and get a better connection, we could play together. Anyway, her character is brand new, and named Squibette.
Other than that, I'm tired, my stomach hurts, and I have a sore in my mouth which hurts quite bad. I'm thinking of giving various people I know the link to this livejournal so they can see what I'm up to more easily. I can always do private posts if I need to, or make some custom groups.
I need to go to the store to get a few items. I'll do that today. It would also be in my best interest if I forced myself to go running.
Yeah, so I said I would do a post on my progress in planetside. Well, here it goes.
My main character (or what used to be my main character) hasn't been played much. He's level 10, and just picked up hacking. I get frustrated with him because in large battles I have to get fairly close to the action to get kills, and the lag kills me on my current connection. Crossfire kills me since I have poor armor, turrets kill me, and stupid darklight kills me, and mosquitos kill me. And just about anything else. He's great in small battles. A blast. But what I really would like is for him to have advanced hacking, and a pounder Max so I can get into spawns, and then hack into a terminal and tear people apart. I think that if I gained 4 or 5 levels on him, he'd be awesome. But, at the moment it's a little frustrating unless I'm in a squad because the kill levels are still a bit low.
I started a new character on the west coast server so I can play with Frank and Adam more often. He's pretty fun, but as of yet has no transportation. He will in another level or so, though. I like him because he snipes from a distance and for the time I've put in playing him, he's done fairly well. He kills people easier than Squibz does, and with almost as much style. What is especially rewarding, though…is when someone tries to sneak up behind me and kill me while I'm sniping, and I turn around (due to constant switching to third person mode to watch my back) and blast them with my sweeper shotgun and kill THEM. With this character, I think I only want to get a few more things. Special Assault and/or Heavy Assault, engineering (for self repair) and combat engineering (for self protection using motion alarm sensors, mines, and turrets when I'm sniping)and then I want to put everything else into vehicle certs. I think probably Ground Support, Ground Transport, and Air Support.
Anyway, so that's my progress. Not that anyone is interested.
Blah blah blah, won't you be mine?
I woke up this morning with a really horrible headache. It kinda ruins the start of your day. And maybe the rest of it too. Luckily the thing is almost gone, but I'd rank it among the top 10 worst headaches of my life. I thought I was going to lose consciousness for a second in the shower.
Just kidding….but it did hurt a lot, and light hurts my eyes so bad in the morning and it makes the headache worse. I wish there were softer lighting in the bathroom, or that I could shower in the dark.
This weekend I pretty much played Planetside, watched TV, hung out with Steph, etc. We went to Cirencester to buy yarn so she can crochet things…we also looked at various animals in the pet shop, and we got a few things for the house.
There will be a post later on my Planetside status. At the moment, I have to go on a job.
Out.
