Kotoji stood, watching the sun as it set. It was still fairly high, perhaps an hour away from twilight and the plunge to darkness. He closed his eyes and thought a moment, of everything that had happened in the past. Tears and laughter filled his mind, though his face showed nothing. Pain and joy often followed closely each other, as if playing a child's game of tag.
Master Ujimo walked up beside him, "What are your plans now that that's finished?" Ujimo looked into the sky as well, as if he could follow Kotoji's thoughts. Kotoji knew Ujimo was there for most of the significant events, so more than likely Ujimo was going over them.
"I suppose it's time for me to travel as you once did." Kotoji's brown eyes opened and left the lofty sky, following the blue until it met with the horizon. The earth under his feet made him smirk a little as he knew it as a comfort ever since he was a child. The ground would always be there for him, no matter how far he may have fallen. Literally and figuratively. It had been in the past, and he expected nothing less.
"You can take your own path, you know." Ujimo gave out a slight sigh. A boy simply following another's path was nothing Ujimo had intended, "So many people follow the paths of those that went before them. I'd hate to see that become the fate of you. You never really did like to conform in the first place, stubborn runt." Both chuckled at the aside Ujimo threw in. Both knew that it was to calm the air slightly.
"There are many roads, and I know yours well enough to stay off of it. Boshmir's to the north. The steam city sounds interesting, if nothing else. They say they have incredible blends of technology and magic, and perhaps among it I can find a new arm." He rubbed the cleanly removed shoulder, his right arm long ago ripped from its joint. The scar was still tender, despite having been a few years old.
"Don't know if you need it. You have been impressive with your left arm. Sometimes destiny says we're to lose something in order to adapt in a new way."
"I was told my right arm had a power about it. A new arm until I can retrieve my old one would be nice. The thing that has it is a little too powerful for me if I only have one arm."
"Perhaps now. And your arm is probably long ago devoured. Was it worth it?"
Kotoji nodded and smiled a little, "To give is a great gift in itself. It was only an arm."
They stood there in silence a while. The sun neared mountain tops, the first peak piercing the sun as if a lance through the heart of day. Kotoji cleared his throat and looked back to the ground, "I suppose it's time. The Imperial City is a long walk, and Boshmir even more of a trip. I should have the money for the trip."
Ujimo smiled with satisfaction, "Alright. Enjoy your trip. When you return, don't forget to visit. Likely, I'll be blind and ornery and in dire need of someone to tend to my sores."
"Don't worry," Kotoji chuckled, "I'll make sure to be gone long."
I suppose it's time to move on. I've been on this for more than two years. When I get my laptop I'll start on the new site.
May all you do be watched over by the Divine, and may He guide the winds of your life. And don't forget to take the path less traveled ;)

| Guild PoliticsIn good news, I got a new computer. Or will be. It's a laptop (don't know how much I like that), and I'll get it Tuesday or Wednesday. Let the hijinx ensue.
I've noticed there have been many eras to the guild I'm in, the Angelic Guard. I missed a transition from January to March or so, a slow decline kind of how an empire starts to fall. We're trying our hardest to avoid a full out fall.
We believe our guild leader left us. She started playing WoW, and without more than a couple words to one guy, she disappeared. So the officers and puppet guild leader (more or less) were waiting for her return, to find out such a return may never happen. She started the guild around 8/10/2005, it's almost a year old. I joined 8/20/2005, and I think one of the other officers joined 8/15/2005, but she hasn't been on much. There are few people from before 2006.
Our first shift was due to size. We became a big guild with a lot of people and no one took part in our original plan of helping one another. Everyone became selfish and for themselves, and no one cared about anyone. I was gone when the decline started, so when I returned, it hit me in the face and I jolted a few people out of it.
The mentality led to a schism. In April or May most of the officers were dropped, house got cleaned, and there were a lot of changes. That's when I became an officer. Lita seemed to take it hard (the guild leader), and a lot of the originals tried their hardest to keep AG from falling into nothingness. AG was more than simply something we did on the weekend, it really did become a bit of family, and we fought it and rebounded just fine it seemed.
This was just as alliances were starting. We were the head (and still are) of a young alliance, now 7 strong. I remember when there were only 3 of us :P You know, like a month ago. Anyway, the guilds seemed to be working out. There were a few problems that bothered us, but we didn't think much on it.
Then two weeks ago, Lita just up and left. The alliance really is becoming a bit of a joke. No one talks, AG helps everyone without return. A new alliance formed called DAWN, which has been an incredible addition, even if it is just the recreation of an old alliance. The new guild master is very dedicated to seeing a good guild put up, and though she's struggling to keep it together, it's holding well. Several of teh alliances just don't seem to exist, and that might end up putting us down to 3-5 guilds shortly. Alliance meeting next week. I liked last week's meeting which consisted of, "This is where we're at. We're doing alright." More guild politics on the way as the existance of AG reaches its third era. What shall happen? I hope it just all stays together.
I had my lost dream last night. The dream where I'm in a hotel that I can't find my way around. Chris can, and he guided the rest of us. There were alleys in this place -.-; Very creepy. There's one landmark where all of these stairs converge on this waterfall about 5 feet high, and then there's a pool. Not like a swim in pool, it's maybe a foot deep. I don't want to be lost v.v

| Wasn't watching Grenth carefully enough.They nerfed my beautiful assassin. In fact, they took one of the most inept classes, and made them more impossible to play.
I love the assassin. They are made to target and destroy. But they cannot do that to healers anymore. Or for that fact, most spell casters. They also can't do that to warriors in the first place because a warrior is just too strong. And they can't do this to a ranger because a ranger can dodge. That leaves them with minions and pets. We can kill minions...and pets.
They took an elite skill that made you more or less invincible for 5-20 seconds and upped the cost. It's now a burden in my skill set. The only reason I could afford it in my skill set was it had a low cost. Oh, downside is when it's done you have about a fifth of life, and a strong wind could end up accidently killing you. If a monk cast heal on you, and he swung his wand a little too vigoriously, the ghusto might end up knocking the assassin into oblivion. That's how little health you have when the spell's done. And I can't even use that.
Another elite skill (this isn't me upset they nerfed it, but that they altered it in a really bad way), allows you to refresh your dagger skills. They extended it to pet skills. Why in the name of Dwayna, would you have a dagger skill refresh pet skills? I'm beyond myself as to the reasons. I'm sure a bear has some frightful daggers, however the crane lost me.
Finally, there's Shroud of Silence. This is suppose to be the elite skill to take out spell casters. Your spells are deactivated, and you deactivate their spells. The idea is they depend on spells more. This no longer works on area affect spells that don't have a target. My monk hardly has any targeted spells, he's bundles of area affect! Most elementalists that are dmg'd based don't have targeted spells *twitch* Thanks ANet in taking the most difficult profession and truly making them simply worthless.
Warriors complained they were hit hard. All of the armor that was supposedly only guarding against physical damage since the game came out has finally been set to only take physical damage. Took long enough *grumbles*
The Scribe came out though ^_^ That was nice.
PS: After much deliberation, it may be time to change my xanga. This one'll still exist, I'm not about to erase a portion of me. I really have a horrible memory and this is to help me remember. However, despite my desire to be an overly dramatic writer who blows everything out of proportion, I don't think it's me anymore. The title. Really, I've filled my life with my writing and Guild Wars. Yes, there's a woman as well, but it's long distance, which means it really doesn't take up a lot of time (I'm not making any digs at her, it's just both of us are busy).
As cynical and sarcastic as I may be, I think I've grown out of the whole destiny phase, really. It's still poetic and everything, and it sure as hell has a place in my writing, just not in me. So in the next day or two, perhaps there shall be a drastic change.
Yeah...never said that before *sigh* In reality nothing'll probably happen, but it's 3:40 in the morning and I figured, I'd like to see a change. Mei's picture is my profile, I could at least respect her. Meimei2.0. I like it....*passes out*
Oh, and people are predictable, eat gophers. I keep getting surprised, but it all makes too much sense. I'm becoming predictable too. I hate it. My intuition is falling and my chaos is becoming pattern. Soon David will have me figured out, and point and laugh at me. Much shame shall be placed upon my family and I shall have to go into a life with the circus, drinking the blood of small monkeys. Orphaned monkeys...yes, that's it.

| The little window to my soulWhy do people want to know anything about me? I have a second journal, one that is pen and paper. I lost it which upsets me. It has good ideas. But why do any of you care? Some I know why, you know me, we've hung out before, but some are just random people passing by in cyberspace who flagged me down, and I flagged them, and now we flag each other often. Some more often than I do the friends ^_^ Some people who read this hate my view points and a few my very existance. Or they had in the past. What makes this such an interesting venue?
I'm back from vacation. I wrote 30 pgs. It was awesome. 30 pages in 3 days is a pace I could survive with ^_^
A friend of mine, Colt-chan, is going off to Korea for 5 weeks. I guess she has internet, so I can still email her, but it'll be sad. I miss our wacky conversations on monkeys and penguins taking over the world v.v
Everything is fine in my love life, in a matter of speaking. I have, as far as I can tell (please for once, intuition, don't be wrong), captivated the girl I like. It was a long uphill struggle (actually I think it was easier than I originally thought), and it really sucks when you're already captivated. She amazing, beautiful, giggly, funny, intelligent, and she enjoys my words. Mostly I just listen though. I can handle that in general. Nice to have a muse again.
I've lost my drive. Not to live or anything, but the one where you see a female and you just feel.../driven/. (yeah, that was real indepth) I don't like it. But I do. I guess I've asked for it, my biggest downfall is lust to be honest. And it's suddenly just gone. I still like women plenty, my muse still makes me all warm and tingly, I just want nothing beyond her soul. And not in that "I'm going to feast on your soul" way. It's like finally understanding what someone means by they just want to cuddle. Like before this I understood it with strings attached, and now, there aren't any strings. I simply know it.
I noticed any time I take on a fight, I risk a lot. I put out and hope the gamble pays off. But it ends up a lot like me in Vegas. I do well for so long, don't know when to cut off, and then I lose it all. I think I might be learning it. However, whenever I feel strongly enough about something to put my neck out like that, it really is an all or nothing for me. I don't hold back, and I'll usually get hurt in the long run. I'm pondering something right now that would be rash and impulsive. But there's really no point except to start up a war. It'd be like starting the fifth crusade. Everyone was sick of it, no one cared, the reasons were all lost. It was just going out there to start the same old shit on a different day.
Anyway, ganna help someone in Guild Wars. It really has consumed my soul :P I enjoy it, though. Lots of fun.
Take care, God bless, watch out for Grenth. | | |
| The coolest songI heard an awesome song, don't remember who by or the name v.v
It's cold out, but her popsicle melts,
She's in the bathroom, and she's pleasured herself,
I'm a bad man, so she's locked ?me out?,
Further down it says what my new title thingy is ^_^ "I'm not a bad man, just overwhelmed." It was pretty kick ass hardcore.
Gone until Thursday night. Take it easy guys and I hope you have good weeks. | | |
