About Me
{|cellpadding="0" width="100%"
 * width="75%" valign="top" align="left"|

Brief

 * I'm in the U.S. Army. Because of this fact, I am familiar with several things:


 * 1) stupid people
 * 2) stupid equipment
 * 3) difficult situations
 * 4) confusion situations
 * 5) life-or-death situations


 * Undeniably, those familiarizations prove quite useful when playing FFXI. How frequently do you have gear that just isn't hacking it any more? People who just don't know ANYTHING about their own job, yet think they know yours? Situations where on-the-spot decisions need to be made, etc. etc...? (Not too ironically, my main job is Red Mage)
 * I am the proud owner of a brand new car.
 * I aim for fun first, Items second, Merit third, and EXP last. I understand that some people are convinced that the [[media:INT_formula.jpg|INT Formula]] works, but as far as I'm concerned, I've played this game too long to listen to anyone who's name hasn't made it on my friendslist in over 3 years.
 * I am generally helpful to players who don't beg or pester me; I'm rather conservative in nature, so don't mind me if I happen to hold reserved attitude. (At the same time, do pay attention if I happen to completely flip out and explode over something you might consider to be insignificant.  Odds are, there's a reason why I'm taking something so seriously.|}

 * Everything I have wanted to be since the beginning of my playing. In the past years I have seen this job transform from the awe, to the envy, and to the Used, by every other job in the game.  What one RDM could not accomplish, 2 or 3 could.
 * If nothing else, I strive to remind everyone in the game that I am not, nor am I most purposeful as, a [[media:ScrollofRefresh.PNG|MP Battery]].
 * For fun, mostly, as I prepare to move from Enfeebler to Healer, and eventually to Protector (Paladin, of course).
 * For some reason, curing people is really fun. Of course, so is double MB-ing Banishga II -> Holy.
 * Level-capped areas mostly, but KSNM99 here I come!
 * The ability to do an extremely large about of damage, and then die shortly after, is quite amusing.
 * I'd like to point out that I have absolutely NO intent on using this job as anything short of a bloodporter. Ironically enough, I already have warp via BLM, so really, I unlocked the job so I don't have to see any ??? in my jobs list.

Goals
I have a few high-maintenance, yet highly-rewarding, goals in the game thus far. Some have been fairly simple... make Lv.75, cap out my subjobs, etc. etc. Then, there are some that are just a bit... "out of reach," at the moment....
