So...do I get to fantasize about you?
Right, so like, I need to update this but I have no idea what to write. I don't feel like making the major update this actually needs since the last time I really wrote anything was in November... But I supposed I ought to get on it anyway.

So I went to visit Silent over Christmas as planned. Real name's Cody btw. >.> I think I like calling him Silent better though. But yeah, we had a really good time. My favorite part was finally getting to meet all the people I play FFXI with. We went to Superior which is where several of them live together in a very very cold house..they don't like to pay for heating. ^^; And by we I mean me, Cody, and Jeff. Jeff is his best friend who's Dregon on the game. We went up there to meet up with Matt (Feanor, and Jeff's brother), Joe (Kalef), another Matt (Verthandi), Aaron (Legarond, and the second Matt's brother), and Josh (doesn't play, but is Joe's brother). In conclusion, everyone has a brother and lots of people name their kids Matt and Aaron/Erin. So that got a bit confusing when they'd yell at Aaron through the house and I'm like "What?" So we hung out there and static'd it up. Much fun was had although I was freezing. We had computers/PS2s set up all through the house and I was in Joe's room with him. Joe and I had previously hung out in the kitchen for a few hours together as I taught him the proper way to make doughnuts. Good times. Joe let me take the blanket from his bed that night so I would freeze less to the floor overnight. Sort of helped, but it was still cold. We didn't go to bed until really late, and then we were woken up early with really bad music... Half the reason I couldn't get to sleep was being cold and uncomfortable, the other half was that I couldn't stop giggling as I could hear Jeff downstairs on the couch making funny noises. He had a cold. It was humorous. :p

The rest of the time Cody and I mostly hung out in his basement, me playing XI, him playing VII, then VIII. I had to help him a bit though. He sucked at using the right materia, and junctioning... When we weren't hiding out in the basement, we went to Duluth and shopped. Because I love shopping, and have nowhere to go down here. We even got Jeff to come with a few times. I gave his family the watercolor I painted of their backyard for Christmas. It turned out nice and they liked it. ^^

Since I got back I've been working a lot. Michelle, my boss, is teaching me cake decorating which is cool. Not much else is happening though. Just playing XI too much. My Drg is 5k from 62, but as usual, on my days off I can't get a party. My Rdm is 38 now and we might static this Saturday which would be cool. I wanna get 41 for refresh! Plus I get to learn Convert at 40. Silent leveled my Blm to 17 so I can warp now. ^^ I leveled it this week to 21 so my Rdm is good until 43.  My cooking is now a whopping 93. I just love being a cooking veteran. I'm making lots of money at it with sushi, rolanberry pie, marron glaces... I also got my clothcraft to 51 and even managed to obtain my Magnifying Spectacles. My character looks good in glasses. >.>

My other piece of XI news is that Silent and I got married on February 17. <3 We had a wedding in San D'oria, where he's from (Windurst for life!!!). It was so much fun and it was so awesome because we'd only been trying to get a date since December. Normally it takes much longer to get one. The date we got only had a 2% chance. O.o We win at life or something. Of course, upon having the wedding I now own my own set of wedding gear which I looooooove. I look very sexy it it, especially the boots and hose. We also got wedding rings which we now wear all the time. Sacrificing that second ring slot was worth it though, having everyone know how much he means to me. ^^ Here's a link to some screenshots V took for us: http://gamerslogik.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=5816

Upon checking my last entry for what I've missed in this one, I guess I haven't mentioned that I got another car finally. We actually found the exact same year and color Miata which is exactly what I wanted. We took some parts from my old one and put them on my new one, like the top, seats, some of the paneling inside, ect. But instead of a CD player this one had a tape deck but that actually turned out to be better because now I could buy one of those iPod attachments to play it through there. It's so nice not having to wear the headphones while driving anymore. Of course, I still miss my old car, silly as it sounds for being just a material object. It just meant a lot more to me than a regular car, you know? There's just something special about your first. It helps knowing a lot of my new car is in fact my old one though. And to be perfectly honest, I love that most people don't know that it's new. I really don't like explaining about the accident. It's just better this way. Easier for me.

What's not easier is that since I got back from MN my back was still giving me a lot of trouble despite not working so long. Some people suggested I go to the chiropractor in town, so I tried it out. I was going once a week for several weeks up until he decided I was probably good. He told me to wait a month and if it seemed good that I could go ahead a settle with the other insurance place. Yes, that still hasn't been resolved yet. I just want it to go away. Hopefully in the next few weeks it will. I'm so tired of it. 

Seems I need to go get ready though. Sam and Ken are coming over and we're going to go out to eat tonight. Not like I'm getting a party today anyway... I think I'll try to make some Melon Pie 1 for my Rdm so my day won't be such a waste..
