I don't mean to sound morbid but I'm, at the moment, not feeling up for xmas this year.
Since coming back from the Fan Fest things have went downhill. Just last week, I lost my brother-in-law, my sister's husband. He passed away as of Dec 4th, so we only got to spend time with him on thanksgiving. Right after that his health started to deteriorate, brought on by a motorcycle accident 2 years ago. He couldn't walk because of it and the doctors were not sure how he would be in his health.
At first he was totally fine, then a few days after thanksgiving his body started to shut down.
Its been hard for me, dealing with 5 deaths as it is in the course of 2 years; 2 close freinds, my best freind's grandmother, my uncle, now this.
My freinds on Ramuh have been very supportive during these rough times and, like me, they wish me a better year in 2008 'cause this year has been crappy for me IRL now that I look at it.
Gamewise brings some sort of ups. Shortly after the Fan Fest couple of the people at the Ramuh table asked me if I wanted to join their static party; PLD, THF(me), SAM, BRD, RDM, WHM.
I said yes. We've been doing well the past few sessions, every monday and they are really nice.
I got warrior to 65 finally and, get this, some items i had put up for sale a while back on one of my mules has come back in gil, about 500ks worth! So with that, along with selling some items I upgraded some gear. I gotta say the Bomb Core is really sweet, and I got it for 90k tops when it used to be 1-2mil on ramuh back in the day.
Anyways, not much else otherwise. I havent had the chance to try out the new expansion yet because of RL stuff meantioned above. Other than that i'm holding up ok, day by day dealing with all of this right now, while supporting my sister.
Peace.
