Fond Memories

I talk a lot about memories in this blog, because, in the end, it's all we have to tie us with the past.

When FFXI eventually gets shot out the crapper and no longer exists, all we will have are the memories, for better or worse.

Because of this, I would like to share with you, my lovely readers, some of my oldest fond memories this brain can muster.

From the very beginning, I had no inkling idea of what the fuck a world pass was. I don't think anyone ever did. It was some sort of lie passed down from father to son that never really made sense.

I started the game and just randomly made a character. I think I ended up on Asura server first, and was looking around for my friend Manaseph before I got tired and called him, then he told me man to man how retarded world passes were.

My good friend Alana played a solid year before inviting her friend Meimin to join. Having already known the horrors of ending up in an alien hellscape, I got a world pass and we set off on the wonderful journey of trying to figure out how to use it for three hours.

Honestly, it took Meimin that long to make the world pass work. Alana was on the phone with him trying to figure out what was going wrong.

You know what was wrong? World passes were retarded, that's what was wrong.

Still, it's a fond memory because when Meimin walked up to us and he was half my size, it made my heart melt. It was a good time for all of us and we ended up doing a bunch of stuff.

I remember helping Meimin with getting Samurai after I murdered his shit in ballista against his level 60 black mage. Then after that, I showed him Beastmaster and he took to that like a fish in one of those things that fish are in.

Oven. Like a fish in an oven.

Very spicy.

Darios, Meimin and I were the Samurai team from hell back in the day. We were known far and not so far for being deadly with the blade.

When I moved to Miami and coerced my friend Sonneillon to play, the first thing he wanted to do was become a Samurai. And let it be, says I.

Samurai were all around me. Like a very pointy bukkake.

I am trying to remember this guy's name. I believe it started with an A.

Specific, I know.

He was one of the first Samurai I ever met in game, and I asked him tons of questions while he was killing worms on Zeruhn mines for some reason. He was a good friend of the first girl I actually had a relationship with online and gave me advice on how to be a good Samurai.

Kinda sucks I can't remember his name. It would be fun to see if I could get back in touch with him, but I really don't feel like sifting through all the A names on ffxiah only to think "Hmm, maybe it started with a B".

I am still trying to get in contact with other friends. Dead ends abounds in this rat race.

Well, I'm tired right now, and it's my blog, so suck it.

Laters, everyone.
