Quiet as the grave. I have only got as far as Blackfriars - I should be much further than this after 45 mins of travel. Tempted to get off and go for a KFC. Argument at the doors. I couldn't get out if I tried. You would think that rush hour travellers would understand that sometimes you have to let a crowded train go past. Yay! Seat! Bloke right next to me got out - maybe this won't be such a bad trip after all. Argument not as heated at this station - only one more and then fast to St Albans. Silence descends again as we pull away from the station. Giving another night of my life to EverQuest tonight - should be able to get to sixth level without too much hardship. I may even be able to break the spawn at a lizardman camp at fifth to fasttrack me to sixth - or even seventh - the xp probably isn't good enough to take me that far tonight though. I should be able to manage a scout only camp at four if the spawn is broken, but foragers and mystics would still be tough. Maybe if there's someone else low level on tonight we could team. I wonder if I could use the guards to break the spawn - if I got them to chase me to the guards I could probably break things up by a little bit. Worth a try at least... Even with this primarily rp character I am using power levelling techniques. Wouldn't work with a mystic as they would blind me - it would be difficult to run to the guards blind... I could possibly go kill kobolds for a while at 4th to toughen myself up. Should be able to get plenty of xp from spiders then too - there are plenty of them about - and no competition for kills. I can probably go all the way to fifth just on spiders... I'll try any all scout camps though, too good an opportunity to miss. If I could find flash of light I could blind a caster and then run to the guards while he runs away - this will kill the others from the camp with a bit of a gap before the caster dies. Sounds cool if it works.

Haully treageo burrow nuinenten tyle.
Back to the Feerot forrest last night - there were only two other low levels in the zone - makes it easy to begin with, as I don't have to share the spawn - it'll be a bit tougher in a couple of levels though :( there should be plenty of people around my level in the swamp by the time I'm ready for Guk though. There was a group of high levels killing guards last night. It's a good job that I don't often run for the guards - mainly because there isn't much that spawns nearby. They should reduce the experience that guards give - it could be a real problem if I was in a zone like Innothule, where running to the guards with a horde of froglocks on your tail is a regular occurence at lower levels. Everquest rules my life at the moment. It's a lot easier than real life - I know the rules. I even talk to strangers sometimes. The quality of people will be higer among the Ogres and Trolls - quite bizarre really. The k3wlios choose dark elf if they pick an evil race. There seemed to be a few among the barbarian people - names like pottymouth, rhinolove and juggajimbeam spring to mind. I may be doing them wrong though - judging them on their choice of name - not everyone goes to a book on celtic mythology to get a name for a barbarian character. I have to admit that I quite liked the name pottymouth - brought a smile to my lips on several occaisions. She may even have been one of the few female characters that has a female on the other side of the screen too - most of the shemale characters are less subtle than that.

Able dwations relocia jenniting reminizi.
The following is an in character entry from my favorite Everquest character - Gurr the Ogre Shaman. Me iz gonna start again in Everquest. Me iz gonna be Gurr again - dere nothin quite like bashin da lizzies in da forest. Ogres iz lotsa fun, specially da shamans. Gurr iz a good shaman - he can make purty lights and everything. He is plenty tough too - it not be long until he is bashing froggies in Guk. Me not be able to team up with me friends ta begin with - but dere iz plenty of Ogres and Trolls to be friends with in da forest and da swamp. Me can go north to da little uns' lands when me iz bigger. Me gets da Bind spell when me is 14th season - den me can hunt anywhere. Me gets homesick though - so me not stay away for too long. Dey not very friendly in humie cities either. Dey not like us Ogres. Jus' coz we eat dem sometimes. Wot iz wrong with dat? We only eat dem becoz dey tastes so good - dey should take it as a kom... komplim... a good thing. Me likes high elf best - dey is really tender. Must be coz dey never do any work - dey just stand around saying how good dey iz. Dey sure talk purty, but dat not make dem very tuff. Dwarves iz tuff - but not when you soak dem in beer fer a bit. Me mum taught me dat recipe. Me likes to cook stuff, and to brew stuff. One day me want to be good enuff ta brew da Ogre Swill dat me daddy used ta drink before he went blind - we never did figure out why. Only use for a blind Ogre is da cookin pot - he sure tasted good. Me is a real life shaman now, me haz got me first spells and everthing. Me soon be bashing things very lots with me big stick. Dem humies think dey is smart - but dey can't bash as much as Gurr can.

Half a bowl in a new pipe - even that I can't manage. Probably because the bowl isn't broken in yet. Tobacco tastes scorched by the end of it. Shake it out and cover myself in ash. PDQ was out of order at Tower. Was funny watching them try to figure out how to use one of the manual card machines. Random CD purchases - one I wanted and two that I had heard the name of the band before and felt like hearing what they like. Looked at the DVD release of Blue Velvet. No extras and a stereo soundtrack. Doesn't bode well. It has a Dolby digital logo, but says pcm sound. I wonder which it is - it can't be both. I guess I need to wait for a review. In my own world. If it was a nicer place people might come and visit, but instead I have a world of shit. At least I can always take solace in coffee. Giving with no expectation of reward. Skippy. Skip skippety skip it.

Where to start? I like puppies. Nice and meaningless. ICQs that are oh so cute. Advice to hug someone at least once a day. Sure - right after I win the lottery. Cheered me up though. Don't know why. Incredibly bad teamwork yesterday. I should have stuck with my Ogre char. Has anyone seen my corpse? My god comes in a wrapper of Styrofoam. Mmmm... Coffee. Would you kill for coffee? What type of coffee? Non-sequitur. Swordfish. Don't warn the tadpoles. Whatsa matter for you? You crazy! Of course you realise this means war! Train. One quick derailment and this could all be over, knowing my luck I'd come back even lower on the ladder. Something in my eye. Trees. I like trees. I don't like the sun in my eyes though - that pretty much sucks. More coffee. I think I'll visit Tower this morning - it's quite a while since I've been there. Noodling around. Can't be bothered to do anything meaningful. Life sucks. Accept it and move on. People who say different are just lying to themselves and others. Hate. Fuck. Roar. Vision of the lion from the wizard of oz. Onion. Wish you had a heart tinman? Take mine - not in very good shape but should be ok as a fixer-upper. What the fuck am I talking about? I. Me. Nothing. Zero. Lack of beard reminds me of school - walking down the corridor to shouts of "Mango-head". Taunting others is easy. I taunt myself, which is just as easy, but less rewarding.

I wondered how long it would take someone. Some joker has voted that they lust for me on my most recent poll - rofl. I guess I was asking for it when I put the thing up there...
