Guild Wars troubles. I have Ghada running on a pretty good build (D/Mo) that has four enchantments that give her HP when she attacks. Get her in a mob, scything people on all sides, and she's really hard to kill.

  I'm just having one problem in hard mode: monks. It is really hard to kill a monk. I can completely wipe out everything else except the groups with two and sometimes even just one monk. Why do those enemy monks do such a fantastic job of protecting their group and my two+ hench monks totally suck at it?

  I'm thinking of giving Margrid (R/Rt) Warmonger's Weapon, which she will hopefully cast on me and then I will hopefully plow through monks (you know I have Margrid with like ALL interrupt skills and still there is no interrupting going on!). I'm gonna try it and see what happens. :/ If not, I may just try and rethink Ghada's entire build with another secondary profession so that I can give her an interrupt or two, because this is nuts.

  Also, I am super pissed because I'm at 95.6% Elona exploration, and I'm pretty sure all I have left is that stupid Ruins of Whatever solo challenge mission. DX I'm so bad at it, I haven't even been able to open one of the gates yet. It really pisses me off. I'm soooo close to maxxing that title. ._____.

  Cocori is here!!! She is so beautiful. I can't wait for her wig and outfit and shoes to arrive from Iplehouse. X3 Her knees are giving me trouble, though, but hopefully I'll figure out WTF is going on there.

  Once she's got her wig and everything I will try and post pics. Right now she's hanging out in the boxers Sarah made for Lucius. XD

  XDDDDDD

  Everyone prepare to have your inboxes flooded, for it is National Amanda Replies to Comments Day.

  Sorry about it in advance. *sheepish*

EDIT: Okay, I only went so far back. Phew. D:

.... at 565,000 XP out of 587,000, I was killed by a fucking WOLF.

  Pretty much the only reason I had this character was so I could see if I could do Survivor title. I'm torn between deleting her in rage or just keep her since I did manage to get the first level. I'll sleep on it, but fuck everyone. Who wants to be a goddamn monk anyway.

  Fuck you wolves. Fuck you, TWO OTHER MONK HENCH IN MY PARTY, WHO DID A REALLY SHITTY JOB OF PROTECTING ME FROM FUCKING WOLVES. LINA AND DUNKORO YOU ARE FOREVER BANNED FROM ANY OF MY FUTURE PARTIES.

  FUCK FUCK FUCK I COULD HAVE BEEN DOING MORE CONSTRUCTIVE THINGS THIS WEEKEND I HATE EVERYONE TEMPER TANTRUM RAGE HATE HATE HATE


EDIT: AUGH I just realized how much money just evaporated into the virtual ether. THAT WAS ABOUT 30 PLAT I COULD HAVE DONE SOMETHING ELSE WITH THANKS. AUGH HATE

Mood: crushed

  Dammit, I don't want to go to work! I'm on a roll! Zenith is at 355,000-something XP... I only need to capture like 20 more skills to have her at the next level of Survivor. D: D: D: Also it's one of those days where I'm getting a lot of awesome drops! Got some green daggers, quite a few golds and purples, a Superior Rune of Swordsmanship and lots of casshhhh.

  Also hooray for Olias and his meatshields minions. :D It's a Zombiepocalypse in Kourna and the zombies are on my side! XD

  Don't wanna gooooooooooo~

Mood: accomplished

  Just sent away the last of my money for Cocori. :D :D :D Now I just need to buy her clothes... T_____T

  It's Double XP for Elite Captures weekend, so I need to get my ass back to Guild Wars. Damn you, work, for existing and taking up my possible elite capturing time! D:

  Oh, and WHAT THE SHIT was up with Battlestar Galactica last night! Sorry, Krysti, I missed the first showing but caught the second. Everyone was trigger-happy this episode! LET'S SHOOT EVERYTHING!!! Gaeta, I hope you'll be okay. I like you.

Mood: hungry

  I just finished getting Ghada through ascension and she is in Droknar's Forge now. X3 I'm really pleased about this because I've only got one character through ascension before (Amarna) and it was extremely hard and I needed help on every mission, but it turns out that Amarna just has like the worst build ever.

(Side Note: I figured out why I'm so attached to Amarna's horrible build. I created a pre-searing necro to play alongside my mom, and used the same blood magic skills Amarna has been using since the very beginning, and totally kicked pre-searing ass. So I guess I was like "HOLY SHIT THESE SKILLS ARE AWESOME. I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ALL ARE DOING WITH CURSES BECAUSE BLOOD MAGIC KICKS ASSSSSSSSS!" and gotten far too attached to blood magic, refusing to let go and branch out even when I started sucking later on in the game, because you so rarely see necros rockin' the full-on blood magic... but yeah, maybe I need to get over that, because Amarna is like... handicapped. And now after playing through ascension with Ghada I know just how handicapped she is. She is in a wheelchair.)

  Ghada beat her doppleganger in like two seconds. The timed missions, which with Amarna I had to do about five times each before I managed to get through with spamsama's help, didn't give Ghada any problems -- except for maybe a scary moment here or there. She didn't even die. THE HENCH DIDN'T EVEN DIE.

  Now I just need to get her through these last few missions, and then it's time for hard mode, exploring, and Eye of the North (Ghada is not allowed to play Eye of the North until she has finished Prophecies, lol).

ILU GHADA. <3 I need a better icon of her. D:

  This weekend is double XP for skill capture weekend, so I'll actually be devoting a lot of my time with Zenith, my survivor monk. ZENITH NEEDS XP FOR FUEL.

  Some thoughts before work:

1. I want to make up backstories for my Guild Wars characters but I dunno how. I'm so uncreative sometimes. Also wish I could draw them consistantly... and maybe actually finish the pictures. Poor Ghada has like ten thousand different noses every time I draw her. One day I will actually attempt to finish that picture (yeah right lol).



2. eat_my_bento is making me want to create cute and healthy little meals for myself, but we all know that will never happen. Too much work + too lazy to do my own grocery shopping + fridge too filled with dad's beer lol. Maybe one day when I live on my own I will actually attempt to stop living off of Lean Cuisine.



3. Sent off most of my Cocori money today. XDDDD

Mood: okay

  I think I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna buy the Cocori off someone on DOA. At Iplehouse I'd have to pay $693 for just the doll, NOT including the faceup, NOT including eyes, NOT including a bag, NOT including shipping. This doll is being sold for less than that, and she already has her faceup and she comes with a lot of extras (including a carrying bag, which are like $40 on their own!). I think it's too good of a deal to pass up. And people buy pre-owned dolls all the time so I need to stop being such a weirdo about it and save like 300 bucks in the long run.

  She's also sueded the Cocori, so this will be the first doll I'll have with sueding. That's pretty cool! Apparently the doll is also "wired," and I'm actually not sure what that means. I've asked about it. And she's glued the mobility joints so that's not something I'll have to worry about. XD

  She said she'd do layaway so I think I'm definitely gonna go for it, and I won't even have to molest my savings account to do it. :3

  Today sucked. I feel like a million asses. :( I felt like asses all day and then work was okay when Sierra was there and then after she left it was okay for awhile but then from like... six to eight it was a neverending flow of people!! All with new jobs! And we close at nine, so I didn't get like ANYTHING DONE for those two hours, and then I turn around at eight and the back counter is all like *PILES* and I have only one hour left to do it all in. And the BC cutter broke on me again, and everything was frakkin' computer jobs again so I could only do one thing at a time, so... I left like SIX envelopes for Maria. And then at like 8:59 design services put one of my orders on hold. Maria is going to hate me like FIRE tomorrow morning when she gets in. I feel so awful. :(

  Two more days till I get to visit Krysti. Just two more days of work, and then I'm on my way to Gainesville for three days of continuous awesomesauce. Two more days. :/

  Honestly I think I would have quit this job by now or hanged myself by my apron in the break room if it weren't for Sierra working there and making a few hours of my week totally great.

  Also my car smells like smoky butts. :( Sunday Keith installed a new stereo for me in my car, and his neighborhood is kind of on fire and we were out in the car with the door open for hours, and I wasn't even thinking about the smoke, and now my car smells like butts. It's really bad. I've driven around with the windows down, left the windows down when it was in the driveway, sprayed Oust in it, and nothing is working. I'm worried it's going to smell like smoky butts for all time.

  It's time for ye olde "cheer up emo kid" playlist. IT'S TIME FOR THE DODGSON SONG XDDDDD Next on the list is Alizee's hypnotic butt. BEHOLD THE POWER OF THE HYPNOTIC BUTT.
