Goddamn Feba, I thought I was white! Lol!.

Don't worry. My mother is Irish and my father's side of the family is some Anglo-Nordic mix. I have two colours. White and this tone of red the second the sun comes out.

Sunburn is uncomfortable for me.

There's white and then there's gecko white.

I'm fairly certain some people went blind when I was at the beach in Mexico. It didn't help that I was the only white person in the entire state of Tamaulipas.

BLM was pretty easy at 75, I was convinced that if I'd had full Morrigan's and was a Taru I could have one-shot him.

SMN was an easy Maat fight too. You just treat it as you would a mini-avatar fight and it's over in 2 waves of Astral Flow.

Enter, Buff with Earthen Armor and Aerial Armor, pop a Yag drink and have an Ether or Vile Elixer on macro. Take out whatever avatar is most powerful that day and pop Astral Flow. Assault, Astral flow, run away to the entrance, pop elixer, resummon, wait, astral flow... win.

SAM is eariest since you can one shot him with a self skillchain Darkness. Pulling that off makes him submit.

THF Maat is pretty hard actually since it's purely luck based. If the steal misses you're fucked at 70.

WHM Maat is luck based really thanks to latency. I remember going 1/3 on him purely because he could Asuran Fists me from well outside melee range while moving. If the Repose sticks for the full duration though he's pretty simple at 70. At cap it's easy though since Repose will always stick.

Paladin is one of the easiest ones too really. You are guaranteed to win if you 2 hour after his.

Anecdotal, but I've heard from other Thieves who got frustrated after repeatedly failing the Steal method, and then finally winning the first time they decide to say "screw it" and whoop his butt.

Repose made WHM Maat from a Decent Challenge to TWTBW.

I don't really talk with them a lot in the car. I don't really know what to say at this point that hasn't been said. I ask them if they're going to be good. Lalito says he will, Nicholas says nothing. Not surprising, because I already know that Lalito is going to be good and that Nicholas isn't. I wish I could do more to give him the attention he wants/needs. I don't know if it's my fault in a way that he's not a good kid. That he's so stubborn, that he gets angry in the mornings, that he hits, that he breaks stuff, that he throws fits. Is it my fault for letting Douchebag take him when he was just shy of being two? Is it my fault for "abandoning" him, in a sense? Does he secretly crave me and interaction with me - subconsciously, even - even though he doesn't act at all attached to me? These questions will probably always remain a mystery, just like I'll probably always wonder if it was my fault that he's so difficult. And I'll probably always feel guilty for leaving him - and his brother - and not raising them myself. Because that's the way it's supposed to be done, isn't it?

That quote is from my trip journal from last year which is still linked in my sig. I was in a two hour queue for WoW, so I reread it tonight.

So different this year ... as I was getting ready to leave this year, I hugged Nicholas - the same Nicholas who never wanted to hug became a hugger and a cuddler. And I was crying of course, because I knew I was leaving, but I looked down at that sweet little boy ... and he was crying too. Reading this now - I know the child loves me and cares that I'm not there. My heart aches to go back and hug him again. God knows when I will see them again.

/sigh.
