"We're not afraid of the dark--we come alive in it." -

I spent a good ten minutes searching for a snappy Batman quote to use, but I ultimately decided on a Catwoman quote for the title.
< / lame > ;P

I started Maple not too long ago last year in September (~AH-EE-YAH, say do you remember, AH-EE-YAH, dancing in September~). It hasn't been that long at all (nothing compared to most of you xP); I still remember a lot. I still remember the first 100 unagis James gave me to start off with, being indecisive about what my 2nd job should be, getting talked out of becoming a Page by James, when FangBlade was unknown, when curryishott was #1, the LPQ stage 6 code (133 221 333 123 111--I STILL GOT IT IN ME, BBY!), the confusion I felt when I hit 51 because I had to start grinding in order to level rather than rely on LPQ, the horrible 70s, the quick 80s, the day I met Brian when I was a wee Spearman, never being able to get into APQ because I was 4X... Wow, time flies. o-o

After hitting 119 yesterday afternoon (6/30--the blog's date lies for I live in the past!), I kept training with Kyla up until I was 70%. I solo'd Peak until I was 80% and then went off to Zak with Prestigious. Afterward, I Crow'd with James and Bret up until I was 98%. Then I went to Kyla, borrowed her INT equips, and leveled to 120 (INT warrior FTW ;D). After she smega'd my achievement, I started my advancement. After talking to my 3rd and 4th job instructors, I searched for Griffeys and managed to find one in the first channel I went in. As soon as I started attacking, dragonmarish came in and offered to help. I partied him and it went down quickly. It dropped the Heroic Star so I went to look for Manon to no avail. D:

This morning (7/1--again, the blog lies for I live in the past!), I immediately resumed my search for Manon and found one on the first try (again ;P). I solo'd this time and got the Heroic Pentagon (first try again! xP). When Aly, Amanda, Oppa, and Timmeh were on the way to Leafre, frickin' Maple crashed. D: When it came back up, I went to Safeway to buy some snackums. I made the advancement to Dark Knight with Angie, Timmeh, and Scottums there with me when I got back home. xP I had to go soon after and came back later to start looking for the Indecipherable Book. It took me more than an hour until it finally dropped. T-T I was on the verge of giving up, but the hubby said we could do eet (good thing I didn't stop because it dropped a few minutes after he said that! X D). Chris was my warrior-who-already-did-the-4th-job-advancement partner for my Rush quest. Yayay! ♥

I currently have Maple Warrior 1, Beholder 1 (I named him Bruce Matches Malone--kudos to anyone who knows where that's from xP), and Rush 1. OYUS! I'm going to max Beholder first and then Stance. James said I could start HT as soon as my Stance is at 20 or higher. >: D I have my second driving lesson tomorrow morning and I'll probably get started on my Berserk and Beholder buff quests when I get home (does anyone have a link to a guide that explains what each quest is? .__.). Wee~

I love you guys! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
