Mm... Limericks.

I called a great man once absurd
Which to anger he was quite stirred
One across did he strike me
But two down did I beat he
All because of a cross word.

I like this forum. http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/forumdisplay.php?f=19 I hate it how my inspiration comes and goes. Mostly when it goes. But then how could I come to appreciate it if I had it with me all the time?

Ancient literature, eh?

Being able to draw well would certainly open up some possibilities where words would not be able to do. Although words could be used to draw a picture - it would not conjure up the same image for everybody. An illustrative story would be within my capabilities (one that I find acceptable), as well as concept art, and just simply be able to project an image onto paper. A webcomic/illustrative story certainly would be interesting, though such projects would with more than tentative certainty be kept to myself. Maybe practice and persistence is all I need but where to start and how? It'd require a large amount of study of different subject matter - anatomy, clothinig, textures, just to name a few from my inexperience as well as further study of various digital techniques if I ever want to colour it as I'm bound to mess up if I ever try to do so on a hardcopy. Maybe I'll just try my hand at the fine craft of the word with some study in the drawers.

Not Salus: I CHALLENGE YOU TO E-FIGHT BITCH

Salus: Sorry, but I quit smoking ages ago.

Brevity is the soul of wit... although Hamlet might not have had puns in mind when he said this (or Shakespeare when he wrote it), it still is quite relevant, which I suppose is apparent. But when I am posting a pun, I wonder to myself whether or not I have extrapolated the pun too much for it to easily be followed and whether or not I should explain more so that it might be understood more readily. As is the case with the one posted above - for those who might not get it, to smoke someone can mean to beat them in a competition of sorts.

It seems thought has taken its leave of me. Maybe the advent of school or quitting WoW will rectify that.

One can always hope.

In need of a title.

Why do MMORPGs attract me so? Even if there isn't much flavour behind it, no replay value and everything is very mechanical - I continue to play. In Ragnarok Online - the initial reason that I continued playing it was so that I could explore the world, I also joined a guild that summer, two I think. First was JooH's guild on my priest, helping them and being helped by them to level was fun. As I got to know the game more and as my knight got to a higher level (94), I joined a guild called KoRRupT, which began when I helped a guy named Kyree to find an Angeling, I believe. Near this time, a new server opened - Development (2k,2k,1k). I joined this server and found everything to be a lot easier, and I made a wizard. When I had got to a high level (120s, highest I ever got was 153 because the AoE spells conked out, which seriously hampered my ability to kill things), I stopped killing things really and decided to sit in Morroc, where PvP was. And here, I wouldn't really kill things (except randomers) but just hang around and talk to people. I made some friends, sadly I've forgotten their names already but I do remember them. After Dev became infested with KSing, randoming, annoying pinoys (not all of them are like that, though), I went back to the old server - Charm and went to PvP and talked with KoRRupT members. Later, I joined their ranks and the guild talk along with WoE (a war between guilds) kept me occupied. Then Scryed, the leader of KoRRupT began his own server and I joined it. But there wasn't enough people and I gradually fell out with not enough player-interaction. So I quit RO.

I spent a couple of nice months without any MMORPGs, played Chrono Trigger. Wrote some exams. But then a friend invited me to play WoW with them, and so I did. That's what kept it interesting, I suppose. Then they got bored of it. I started getting bored, until I ran around doing some quests and then I got bored of that. I joined a guild and randomly talked to people in the GM channel (server-wide channel). The GM channel was all that really kept me playing. There was also an instance where a GM gathered some higher-levelled players and organized an MC run. I only got to participate (Entangling Roots on Ragnaros) in the taking-on of one of the hardest bosses in MC (one-hit kill), but group efforts are very fun to be in. I read about a guild which ran around and killed some bosses as a team (43 people) as drops on the private server I play in are 30x and the bosses are not half as hard. Anyway... that's what I would like from my MMORPGs, except the server does not have that many people - less than 100.

This was a most disorganized and pointless entry so far. I'll just keep it for a possible future redo.

Not too hot for Korean food

Wow. First time I've had Korean food today. (We have had Korean Barbecue and bought a large tub of Kimchi, but that wasn't spicy at all.) Some of the spiciest stuff I've ever eaten. Everything was spicy except for the bean sprouts and the spinach. There was also this noodle-like stuff with seaweed and rice with sesame oil and seeds - but I didn't eat much of that, it wasn't spicy but it was to be my lunch the next day. I suspect it isn't nowhere as spicy as the suicide wings that my brother speaks of. But it is spicy enough.

[21:24] <Salus> Australopithecus Africanis.
[21:24] <Salus> *Africanus. Whoops.
[21:25] <rusty404> what's the difference?
[21:25] <Salus> It's the difference between you and I.

All I have left are bad puns. :p And some not so punnish one(s). Just another reminder for me how some things just fall into place without much goading. Must be nice to be a poet.

[09:26:17 PM] |O.r.D.i.N.a: you go anywhere?
[09:26:25 PM] Salus: Out and about.
[09:26:29 PM] Salus: Round like a lout.

This is just something random that I found funny. :p

[21:50] <rusty404> you can't pass level 60
[21:50] <rusty404> :\
[21:50] <rusty404> faggot liar
[21:50] <Salus> You can on private servers.
[21:50] <rusty404> private servers are for faggot liars
[21:50] <Salus> ...
[21:50] <Salus> Kick him from the channel!
[21:50] <Salus> He blasphemes.

[21:50] <rusty404> Oh right.
[21:50] <Salus> Haha.
[21:51] <rusty404> THIS WAS A TRAP

This was on the IRC channel of a private RO server (talking about WoW).

None are terribly good, but they'll have to do until more opportunities arise. For now... a name change. I could come up with anything when I began - a token of three. Huh.
