Kirin Captivator

Well I finally gave in after 2 years of resisting and joined a Sky linkshell. Soul has been bugging me for God knows how long to join so I figure what the hell and sign up. My first run just so happened to be a Kirin night, hell of a way to pop my cherry. It was pretty fun, got to do some Chi Blasting a little melee, and even got a shiny new title. Now I just need to start collecting some MND gear so I can actually be effective.

Since my last post I've done a few other things in game of note. After doing a bunch of spell hunting I finally leveled my BLU a bit and got it to 21 in a long, long, long party that saw many, many, many replacements. I've also begun the process of collecting Ancient Beastcoins so I can get myself a Brutal Earring, which is the best earring I can get for my 3 melee jobs. So far I have 51/75 coins needed and should have the rest very soon.

I also finally got to do some WoTG exploration with Shay which I was happy about. We took a trip to Sandy S and did a few quests and got some Maws along the way. We also did some Campaigning which was a lot of fun. I think she really enjoyed it and we'll probably be doing a lot more in the future. Maybe I'll take her to Windy S too if she wants, it will be fun to explore that too.

Finally the last thing of note is that I finally finished up the Rise of the Zilart missions. I've had these active forever practically but got a few people together and took the last mission down. It was a surprisingly challenging fight but in the end we were too strong.

In Presidential race news my man Obama is still holding a slight lead over Hillary 38-36 despite losing the last 2 states to her. Coming up next is South Carolina where there is a very large African-American voting population which will likely determine whether or not Obama has a serious chance of winning the race. I expect him to win easily but they predicted that in New Hampshire and he lost. Super Tuesday is fast approaching, where 20 states hold their Primaries in one day, in just over 2 weeks on February 5th. Right now both the Republican and Democratic race are too close to call but hopefully after that day it will be much clearer who will win.

The last few months have been really rough for me and I'm happy things are starting to get back to normal. I feel happier right now that I have in quite a while and I hope it keeps getting better. Until next time.
