As I read through other peoples blogs and websites, I noticed that they tend to write almost novel sized entries. That they can go on about various things for quite some time and never repeat what they’ve previously said AND they can do this almost daily.

I have a hard time coming up with a single paragraph.

• I can’t really do much commenting on work as I work midnights, I’m the only one there, and nothing happens the entire 8 hours I’m there.
• Since moving to Texas, except for those I work with, I haven’t met anyone and/or gone out to do anything. I’ve lived in Garland for a year now and only just last month noticed I lived one block away from the Richardson Square Mall…
• I’m introverted. Very. I can meet new people no problem when it comes to over the internet, it’s the face-to-face that gets me bad. I stumble on my words, and just generally make myself look like a dork.
• I don’t enjoy doing what many people around my age like to do. Party, clubs, dancing… things I just don’t like to do. I don’t even understand the appeal of said activities.
• I feel distant from my religion. I am a Christian, but I haven’t attended a church in a long time. It just seems to me that every church I’ve gone to has been more of a competition of who’s best dressed or who’s more holier.
• I could talk about what I’m interested in, but I think that most of it would be frighteningly boring. I enjoy weather – and I track hurricanes, games such as Final Fantasy XI or old Super Nintendo classics, and I am learning Japanese right now.

But, lets see how this works out… talking about such things.

On the Japanese front: I’m about 70% finished with the Hiragana and know these kana…

あいうおきくけこさすたちつなにぬねのはへほまむめよらりるれろわん

Today and tomorrow I’ll have the rest finished. Then I’ll give myself a break and make sure those are permanently implanted into my brain, and that I learn the dictionary order, before I move on to the Katakana.

Hurricane Emily is now 490 Miles South-East of Santo Domingo moving West-North-West at 18 MPH. The GDFL, and most other computer models, have the hurricane becoming a Category 4 around 15 Jul 12z, brushing the southern edge of Jamaica 24 hours later, and then slowly droping to a Cat3. Making landfall on the northern tip of the Yucatan Peninsula around 17 Jul 18z and final landfall around 19 Jul 18z as a low Cat3 in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas.

Almost all models show that sort of path, with only varying degrees of a handful of miles north or south.

In Final Fantasy XI, with the help of the folks of the Elusive linkshell, I completed Promathia mission 2-3 and 2-4 on tuesday night. Last night I helped with a thief’s AF quest. Morrigu says she’s going to get a job near 56 so we can exp together, I’m about half way to 57 (and in doing so, learning Shell III and Shellra III)
