Doom! THIS IS LONG! OMG.

I've finally taken the time to come post on here and let everyone know what's been going on in my life! For once, my real life has been slightly more 'interesting' than my fantasy life. Heh. Shall I explain? Of course!
Real Life Bullcrap:
As many of you already know, I've been going to school and work 7 days a week. Ew. Just gross! >_<;
Monday: School
Tuesday: School
Wednesday: Work
Thursday: School
Friday: Work
Saturday: Work
Sunday: Work
W T F? Yet, of course, I make time for my games, always! I think I'd probably implode if I wasn't able to take time from my day to play some games. You know, there is always some person who will say, "Christine, you'll look back at your life and see that you wasted it on sitting infront of the computer!" And to those people I'll say "[Name], at least I don't have to look back at my life and wish I hadn't spent it getting pregnant at a young age and living a miserable life thereafter, or even better! - Sitting infront of the television day and night watching shit like America's Next Top Model... or some crap." So really, I think I'm enjoying my time in front of this flat box of light @_@!
I'm stalling. Let's get to the good stuff, shall we?
This Monday, I didn't feel well, and I decided I wasn't in the mood to go to class. I figured it would mean I'd have to rush on some assignments, but it would be worth it, since I didn't feel like driving an hour and a half to get to class ^^; That same night, I felt worse... and worse. Dizzy, Migraine, - the works. It was bad. I could barely concentrate.
I ended up having to go to sleep 'early' (Definition of 'early': Before 1 a.m.)! I felt so bad I ended up waking up around 5 a.m. to ... well, throw up. (EWWWWW!!!!) Seems that my vertigo was kicking in, hence the dizziness I'd felt hours before bed. I tried to go back to sleep, but it wasn't working. I woke up again around 11 a.m. to call my mom and ask her what I should do. She suggested trying to stand up and go to the kitchen to get some motion sickness pills, since they've helped me in the past with vertigo.
My body was not pleased by this sudden disturbance in my movement. I barely made it downstairs before I was running to the bathroom again to hurl -_-; Sigh. Too bad I hadn't eaten anything in hours. Meh...
I took the stupid pills and wobbled back to bed. My mother left her job to come back home to give me some soup, since I was basically stuck in bed for the rest of the day. (Thanks mommy! :D) So now it's Tuesday (if you've been reading, you'd have figured this out by now!!!) and I have school again.... but I can't go! I'm literally unable to walk correctly. ._.; So I miss... again! But this time I know there is going to be a grade reduction in there somewhere. I'm upset, but my imbalanced body tells me it was worth it to miss again! Late that night, I was feeling slightly better, and I was tired of laying in bed for nearly 24 hours, so I got on the computer for a little while and played Lineage II. I figured by Wednesday morning I'd feel great!
Wednesday morning... I'm tired. Why! O.o I only slept like a million hours?! Is that not enough sleep >_<?! I had work in the afternoon, so I figured I'd start this painting I had to do for class since I was behind. I had some time before work and I tried to use it wisely. 3pm hit, and I had to leave to go to work. For some reason it takes me 20 minutes to turn off the computer, and walk downstairs. I seriously don't know where the time flies when I start walking down the stairs at my house. That's why I always try to leave early when I go somewhere.
I got to work literally one minute early. I clocked in and went to the break room. It's where we all have our own lockers with locks on them to keep our purses, food, etc. When I walked back there, the managers daughter was sitting back their with her new puppy. I said, "Hello" and put my stuff in my locker. Time for work!....
Well... I walk over to my section. Empty. Not an employee in sight. I figured they were in the closed-off hallway behind the fishtank wall. It's where we keep all of our petcare supplies. As I walk back there, the first thing I notice is the floor is... drenched. What the hell? Betta cups on rolling carts, crap all over the floor. Thrown rat food against the tank filters. Did I miss the news report saying we had a tornado in Pembroke Pines? All of a sudden I hear, "Christine?... Get me a net!". Eh? What the hell is going on...? O.o... I stand there like an idiot trying to figure out what I missed. "Hurry, get a net!!!" I get the stupid net from the front and bring it to them, asking what the hell happened there. The story? - "Some kid came by and knocked all of the betta cups all over the floor. We told his mom to please take her child and leave immediately."
I thought to myself, "Why do I always miss the good stuff? XD" ... A thought I will never think to myself ever again (ohhhh foreshadowing!). Minutes later I was left alone by both of the other girls in petcare. One's shift ended at 4, the other had a problem at home and had to leave. Convenient! I was left alone with about 50+ broken cups and bettas with no place to put them. I had betta's literally jumping out of containers with no lids. The smell of bleach from God only knows where. It was a mess.
At that moment I realized, I need to get another fuckin' job. Seriously. One out of every two days I go to work, I'm alone or close to it. And it's just annoying! Made me wish I hadn't come to work either! What would people do without me? I wonder sometimes ._.;
One of the cashiers saw how much trouble I was having and came over to lend me a hand. She told me I should go on my break soon. Sounded like a good idea but I had just gotten there!.. It was like 5. >_<; So I waited it out. A little before 7 I was told to go on my break again. This time I listened. And I walked to the back to get my purse so I could go out to buy something. My manager had left at 6 so her daughter was no longer in the back room. I turn the corner and I'm staring at my locker. Soooomething is missing. Hm... the door is there. The handle is there. It's still gray-- Oh shit. My lock. It was gone! Just when I thought my day couldn't get worse!
I slowly opened my locker to find my lock sitting inside, broken. Cut with some kind of.... metal... cutting device? (There is a word for these but I honestly don't remember!) heh. I panic, look into my purse and see that my wallet and my keys are gone. "Well, fuck me in the ass with no lubrication!" As my long lost big brother Issac once said. I started crying as I ran over to tell another manager who had probably just started her shift. She rushed to the back to look at the damage. Only one other persons lock looked tampered with besides mine. My manager called some higher-up people in the company. She said it had to be documented. I called my mother about my lost credit cards, driver's license, SS# card....
The manager said that "corporate" told her to check the men's bathroom for my wallet and keys. We walked over and knocked on the door first. Not much noise on the other side, but a lot of stalling. Finally a kid cracked the door open staring at my manager. My manager asked if he was the only one in there and he said yes. He walked out right after and left the store immediately. Oddly enough... my manager found my keys on the floor of the bathroom and my wallet in the toilet with all of my personal information and credit cards all missing. We were pretty sure it was the kid that we'd just allowed to walk out right before our eyes. The cops were on their way and before I could even call all my credit cards to cancel them, the kid had walked across the street and charged over $350 on one of my credit cards and another $100 and something on another. The cops tried to look around the area for the kid we described, but he was nowhere to be found with all of my stuff ._.; Of course, I was going to have to pay tons of charges for canceling the cards and who knows what else he'll do since they haven't caught him yet. And Eww... I have to take a new Driver's License picture! And wait in those LONG lines? *Sulks in a corner*
STRANGE MORAL OF THE DAY: Never wish you had more action in your life! You might get your wallet and identity stolen by a person of the opposite sex who could never pass off as looking like you but somehow manages to charge over $500 dollars on your cards without a question asked by any store! ^_^;
Long story, eh? Be glad you're not as unlucky as I am. Maybe then you'd understand why games on the computer are so fun <_<;... Meh.
Speaking of games! Here are a few screen shots from my new game, Lineage II.
These are two of my characters, Mahira and Alani. ^^;

The rest are links <3
[ Me on Alani and some of my clan members ]
I'm the clan leader of the largest clan on our server right now. We have just about every type of buff in the game and all sorts of really awesome people from different countries all playing as a team. It's really awesome ^^; My clan's name is "Maven" and we even have our own ventrilo channel :) You guys should really come join me! It would be FUN!!!!
[ Avy with the Blood Sword of Akamanah on. Turns her into a MAN! omgggg]
[My clan killing a Raid Boss (Equivalent to NMs on FFXI)]
In that screenshot, I'm playing one of my lower level humans, "Suicide". She really is suicidal.. we were preparing for the long battle and out of nowhere I click the screen and my character goes running off into a slew of about 20 raidboss minions and ... Queen Ant herself. T_T;
[ Another Raid Boss! Duo style with a PLer! ]
Unlike the original server, our characters on the SexyL2 server are a little.. mm.. overpowered I guess you could say. This is probably the only reason we managed to kill these raid bosses. Don't let these screenshots fool you into thinking these bosses are any different from Kirin/Ultima/Omega himself on the regular servers :)
That is all for today folks. I miss you guys back in FFXI. I'll be back soon but I need some time to make my awesome clan even better, before I move on ^.~. Love you all!

I can't get this to run on my computer for whatever reason, but I look forward for when you come back to Dink around in FFXI for a bit. There have been a bit of changes lately, including a sort of "Mp refresh" for Smn.
Come check it out sometime. Miss ya~
I'm going to implode if it does this again.
That was me >_>
