I was registered for a PF Changs Rock and Roll Marathon, which started pretty early in the morning on a Sunday (Jan 2005). I was so excited for it and trained for it a lot. I planned on getting a full nights sleep so I could do well.
The night before it, I got invited to a group doing several Bastok rank Missions (got the invite at like midnight...I should have been asleep already). I accepted b/c I wanted rank 10 bad. We didn't finish till 5AM my time. I just pulled an all nighter playing FFXI, then drove downtown and did the marathon on no sleep. As a result I did horrible. Felt like I was coming down from drugs or something right at the start. I met my Mom and my Sister there and they said I looked horrible. I was too embarassed to tell them what I did, so I just said I couldn't sleep well b/c I was excited.
Yeah, honestly, people like plan out when you have something important to do before asking you to do a mission/exp. I know a majority of pt's I got on DRK were on school nights right before I was logging off after 6 hours of seeking.
FFXI pretty much dominates my life, still. For 2 years it's been the only thing I can think of. And for some reason, I've never thought of anything productive. Dunno about any of you, but sometimes I forget to eat, and I'm like super underweight.
Also, like Kotee said, I've dreamt about FFXI too. I skipped my Aunt's b-day, I always miss just the amount of days of school that you're allowed to (6 per semester) I actually paid 50 bucks for a router and DSL cord and borrowed my friend's PS2 to play FF for about 2 weeks in my room so I could stay up all night on school nights playing.
I was finally starting to see the sun a couple times a month, and then ToAU comes out. Goddamnit.
P.S. GJ dae on like completely derailing page 2, lol.
