2 stat ups today:

First, Level 25 gained. Second, gained 230,000 Medal points.

Also, this week I received my 1,337 blam.

Apparently im level 60 now... where did that come from? Woah, its been a long time....

Now I've entered the top 500 for EXP!

10.00 Base VP 16.00 Full

Don't make me smite you ^_^

Got myself to #97 in EXP if that means anything. I am seeing about getting to #95 soon but some depositers are very dependable on their habits.

In other news, I'm still awaiting a response from that girl and while it's been two weeks now, I think more time can be given considering the circumstances. I'm aware a long distance relationship is probably massive to take for someone who's not had a love partner before but my mind is really set on her than anyone else. That said, contact is still ongoing and although some days have been quiet, life just occupies us with other things. I'm all good for the time being, though.

Nice.
I don't have anything interesting to report here. Too bad. :(

Slow times, right? After that week I had, things are slowing down a bit but I've got some bits and bobs to look forward to from now until the end of the year. Can't quite plan what to do for 2014, though since it really all depends what's going on.

As I am but somehow I keep forgetting that the next update is due this weekend. Maybe I'm just getting out of shape from the whole thing.

Yeah, what's up with all this RL shit? You need to focus on what's REALLY important, man! ;)

Remember when I wouldn't want to be outside? Oh boy, those were bad times.

This has been my argument for a long time. Depositing hardly takes any time whereas spending all day in the portal does. There's so many better things to do than to grab points from there.

That being said, I think I made some good progress in getting blam points. 10 Blams in 4 days. Not that bad if you take into account that I got 6 saves in the same time.

Yeah, I suppose you can't go wrong with that.

It'll happen eventually.

Unless they revamp the Exp system again. It may become necessary if there are too many level 60 users.

Well, we have over 200 Supreme Commanders but that hasn't resulted in new ranks or anything. I think the 60 levels will stay as they are, although at this point I wouldn't mind another 10 levels to add on top of what we have already.

Sounds about right. If I had all three log names merged I may be #1 but I rarely need to use NG Log anymore.

I don't use it daily anymore, but it's an easy way to keep track of my stats.

Last time I needed NG Log was to check on level projections but I have that all saved on a text file. Same goes for all my EXP milestones going up to 40k. The days I see on my text file are when I expect to get them providing I don't miss any deposits. I'd like to be perfect from now until when I reach level 60 on 4/20/2015.

Whatever they do to track shit, I wouldn't worry a thing considering it's not like I'll discuss about illegal shit on it.

It's not about "discussing illegal stuff" and getting caught. It's about fucking privacy, man.

Some things just aren't really worth worrying about.

Watch as less and less people use AIM or something and more will adapt to Skype. :P

I only had some newgrounds users on AIM anyway.
Also, Skype still sucks. ;)

There isn't much else to use nowadays.

This works for every character, not only Barret. ;)
But nothing beats dating Barret in the Golden Saucer. :D

Ah but nothing beats when Barret has lucky 7 berserk and uses Ungarmax.

• The best part should be at the top, I reckon. I saw the one who I'm interested in last weekend. Saw her both on Saturday and Sunday and the Sunday I was able to tell her that I liked her after having a fun day in Camden. Outcome of that: She says she needs time to think about it so for now it's just talking over online as normal. As long as I got to say to her that I liked her, I'm really happy for myself. If this fails, I'll do what I can to maintain the friendship.

Damn, you've been busy lately, man. ;) Hopefully something comes out of telling her how you feel. Good luck!

I do hope she'll say yes but at the same time I have to understand her when she's not up for taking on the relationship. Still, I'd rather be with her than anyone else.

• I saw Finntroll and Týr live in London last Saturday. Both great bands to see live and Finntroll are one of those bands that are better live than they are on their records. Can't go wrong with a band playing folky music whilst wearing troll ears.

Troll ears? Sounds pretty epic.

It sure is!

So you're gonna continue then. Ah well, that's always a fair reason to gain a few points from the portal.

You almost sound disappointed. :P Though my goal was to retire at 50k, the main reason behind that was that I had been spending too much time in the Portal. At least this way I can still have some kind of a presence on the b/p list without having it take up too much time.

Yeah, I suppose there's always doing that with very little fuss. I never mind it when people grab the odd few points from the portal whilst depositing. It's hitting two birds with one stone, really.

This is supposedly a habit of hers. Thankfully I know now so if she dares to play around like that again, I'm not gonna take that shit. I will say no and besides, I've already said to someone that I like them so she lost her chance to be with me.

Ya snooze ya lose, dammit!

And you know what, I've yet to see her since. We will eventually bump into each other again so hopefully by then she's over that little moment and we can all move on from it. I'm guessing she'll be around at the Halloween event. That said, I kinda wonder if I'll ever bump into my ex again. Last time I even had to be a few metres near her was back in June. There's really nothing she can do to me now since I'll (hopefully) soon be spending my time with someone else and she finally got the one friend to love her and that's a lot coming from Mrs "I can't handle a relationship."

Maybe there's a cure or some shit for that? :P

It would involve a lobotomy, so probably not a good idea. :P

Well shit!

You passed 72,000 Saves. Way to go!

Up to #77 most experienced

Now to keep the pressure up ona few uers just ahead of me and see if I can squirm into the top 75. The top 50 is getting closer!

Exactly. I don't like being totally inactive in the BP list while I'm still active around here. To be honest, I was kind of glad in a way when I saw that extra save pop up. And hey, I've even gained 2 more ranks since hitting 50,000. ;)

It's probably best to leave the past in the past, anyway. I was googling some of my old high school friends last night -it's so depressing... :P

Well shit!

Yeah, I'm one of those people that thought life was better before social media. I'm just glad that I graduated high school before facebook, twitter and the smart phone existed. (There was myspace, though, but that was pretty tame compared to how things are now...)

Congrats guys :)

I just hit 12,000 blams. It's gonna be a LONG time before my next blam milestone seeing as most of the crap seems to either get deleted by mods before voting finishes or makes it through on a score of around 2/5 stars.

Well done, Level 50 is a particularly nice milestone, though a cauldron of goop isn't much of an improvement, surely?

I've got a few more days left yet, so Hallowe'en should be done and dusted, before I trade in the golden Cthulhu

Thanks also to Dev.

Anyone remember me? Haha.

Thought I'd just show my face and see how many people stuck around. A surprising amount to be honest!
The site has changed so much since my last visit. It's fun just to look at my old posts and see how much of an idiot I was when I was 13.

Anyway, was very nostalgic to come back this thread.
Bye bye!

It's an improvement on a level which has no special Halloween design! And careful. With this cauldron of *ahem* goop as you so tactfully put it, I can wield the power of, well, not the cosmos but certainly the power of eye of newt!

I didn't even think that level 50 is a milestone, it is though you're right. Scary.

Careful, eye of newt can actually send your spunk green. Whether that's gone off or not, I really don't want to know.

Thank you to Blitz-Mage, as I've recently Cooped him, to move up to #76 most experienced

That's probably my last rank change before Level 57, but I'll get the rest of them... eventually.

LEVEL 41

Thanks for voting, jonthomson! Your experience has been automatically deposited!
With that vote, you now have 38,642 experience points. You need -2 more to get to Level 60. The next Grounds Gold day begins in 21 hours, 15 minutes, and 37 seconds.

Start making lists with me, maybe? :3

I heard back from that girl. I hate the use the term friendzone but... that's what happened. However, she felt things were too soon for her to develop any feelings and strongly noted that it didn't mean never. I may have said things too soon but I feared it was either then or never since someone else might have taken her. She just wants to remains friends for the time being. Although, I am being careful with her words since right now there's no guarantee for anything to happen. I'd like to wait things out and allow her to decide when she's ready but after my last few moments with letting girls try and come back to me it didn't go the right way. I believe she is more genuine than the last few I tried dating so I still want to see if anything will happen but doing that could be bad for me if it doesn't go my way.

For now I'll just focus on events that I'm attending for the rest of the year as well as Christmas. When the new year arrives I'll see what's going on in my life since by then I'll have a clearer idea on what I want to do. I already want to do a few things for 2014 so I'll mind my own business in the meantime. Although, some of those plans consist of meeting up with her but it's all good.

She explained her reasons and you know what, I respect her for it. Everything she said was within reason and there was no "It's not you, it's me" bullshit. Just down to earth honesty with her hoping that she'd like things to turn out better for us. I guess all I can do is persevere and at least try and maintain the friendship.

You're speaking to the guy who did the B/P updates for years whilst doing absolutely nothing in the portal. :P I just did it because I had the time to do that stuff but now I've changed gears and honestly, it's for the better for me. I've got my own life to take care of and I'm seeing that I can get to where I want it to be.

Oh man, I've seen some of those that I recognised from high school. I saw the Facebook profile of one of them and I just laughed. Same as my age and already she has a kid. Granted, my nan had her first child when she was 20 but at least she was married by then. Then again, times were different back then but now, having a kid at the age of 23 is far too soon if you ask me. Oh well, if doing that ruined her life then that's her fault and not mine. However, I'm sure the retarded government gave her all the benefits to make sure she and her kid are fine all because she most likely had unprotected sex. For shame.

Well shit!

Yeah, I'm one of those people that thought life was better before social media. I'm just glad that I graduated high school before facebook, twitter and the smart phone existed. (There was myspace, though, but that was pretty tame compared to how things are now...)

I guess that's lucky for your call. I tried to have a Facebook-free life but eventually I had to get on there for the sake of contacts with others. There was simply no escape for me. However, I could do without Twitter because if one day I ceased all activities on there contact issues with those I know would be minimal. Facebook is the real "problem" for me in terms of communication with others.

It's at this point where the level 60 users will keep flowing in. It's more special when only one user reaches a certain level within the four-week period.

It's a little late, but 7 years :P No I'm not gone just yet.

Woohoo double milestone day! Don't get many of these anymore.

Passed 35,000 Saves and 47,000 B/P!
