Ding Dong the Dark Spark is dead

/huzzah
I got my rdm af hands the other day! I am a sexy beast! Now if I could only get some exp on it ....

FFXI is becoming more of a cause for boredom and depression than a cure these days. "I Static Partied My RDM Last Month and all I Got Was This Lousy 10k EXP" reads the bumper sticker on my chocobo. It sucks. I dumped and continue to dump all my gil into a job that has received yes no lie ... 10k exp a month now >.>

It feels weird, I have not had to live hand to mouth in FFXI for a long long long time, its like losing a good job in Jeuno and being forced to work at McGalkas in the bastok slums. I have had to learn how to farm again but thats kind of fun at times competing with the level 8's for bee's in north gusty lol. My alchemy and cooking skills are paying off in a small way with a steady trickle of cash depending on my willingness to farm but gone are the days of dropping a few mil for shits and giggles. I would like to think I have invested my money for the better, other than a few e-peen items my rdm requires no gear at all till 75 as far as exp goes. Its nice to have that security. Time to be frugal tho.

Talking to the nin in my static and we may work on bst for bcnm, now this excites me. I love to play bst even though I am a lowely 23 but I tend to get sidetracked after playing and do not return for months. BCNM's mmmmmm.

My /flist is getting shorter it seems now even the ones that logged in randomly are gone, its sad. I think the dead zone on it is up to 30 or 40 now and the active maxes out at 4.

Phase One of the Great Pearl Toss of 06 is complete. I now sit lonely in SubligarMonster. It kind of feels like moving out from home the first time. Clean break, stress and guilt free since nobody seems to have noticed, or said anything to me at least. I wont say that I dont miss some people but the majority wouldnt give me the time of day in the first place.

I have a few friends that prefer to go without shell or seek refuge in others besides main so I will probably hand out a few sacks when I bump into them.
