Adventures into Geekdom

For those who know me well, you know that it is quite a normal occurrence for me to be up late at night. I usually waste my late nights watching TV or just doing pointless stuff on Facebook. However, the past few nights have been spent in a surprisingly different way. I have in fact been sucked into the geek vortex. My friend introduced me to Perfect World, it is a mmorpg(that's right I'm even learning to speak the geek language) or massive multiplayer online role playing game.

The first night I didn't think much of it. I created my character, and started to check out the game. I had no clue what I was doing, as I have never entered into these levels of geekery before, so my friend played the game with me to help me out (thanks Jonathan). I started to figure things out, kill the little bug like creatures and get prizes. Pretty simple. The more buggy things you kill, the more experience you get. I leveled up the very next day. That was so exciting. I had to keep playing so that I could level up more.

The next step for me was fulfilling quests. I was sent on little missions by different people to do certain things. Kill so many of the beetle kings, talk to apothecary and simple things like that. Finishing a quest is awesome though! Some quests are so awesome you can level up by just finishing one quest. The more you level up, the harder the quests get, but that's fine because the more you finish the powerful you become. Becoming more powerful is pretty much exhilarating. I'm already a level 7.

Needless to say, I have become slightly addicted to this game. I never understood how nerds could play games for hours and hours...but now I do. Of course some things in this game still confuse me, like why that jewel thing gave me a pumpkin head for a little while...and what good did the pumpkin head do me? I think I'll figure it out though, hopefully by the time I'm powerful enough to kill those creepy land mermaid things that scared the crap out of me. *twitch*

Tagged...already.

Savanna tagged me. 4th picture from my 4th album. This was on my 17th birthday after we got home from the zoo.

I tag Tim, because everyone else has already done this, and maybe he will actually post something for once.

Getting Things Started

A few days ago I decided to reread a list that I wrote about 3 or 4 years ago. The list consisted of two sections: "Stuff I like and/or are addicted to" and "Things that annoy and/or tick me off". I think that a great way to start my new blog will be posting an updated (and MUCH shorter) version of this list. So here it goes.

Let's start off on the positive side.

Here are some things I like:
♥Msn messenger. No one ever gets on anymore, but I have hopes it will come back into the spotlight.
♥When you think you are going to lose a game, and you end up winning! That is awesome.
♥Pigs. They have been my favorite animal for as long as I can remember.
♥Orange tic tacs. Those things are delicious. I eat them like candy.
♥People who can laugh at themselves. Too many people are way too serious.
♥Jon and Kate plus 8. It's like my new favorite show. Those kids are super cute.
♥Peanut butter and bacon sandwiches. It sounds gross, but don't knock it until you try it.

Now, here are some things I'm not so fond of:
•When someone steals your answer to a question. It's so not cool, either you have to come up with a new answer, or say nothing at all.
•Stupid questions. There is such a thing, thank you very much.
•People who pretend to be nice. I would much rather have you be mean than fake.
•Getting goo in your hair. I seriously hate that, especially if I just washed it.
•When you can't think of an instrument that start with F...and you play one. That happened to me during Scategories once.
•When people try to wake me up. I'm ferocious when tired. I do not recommend trying this.
•Nasty Jelly Belly flavors. Uh, chocolate? Are you kidding me? That should not be a jelly bean flavor, gross.

New Blog.

Woo. I made a blog. I'll write something cool later.
