Skeleton Santa came to visit us in Red Stone as the start of the Christmas event.



Remember kids, ignoring santa makes him angry and thus will shower you with gifts.


Of course, then Santa got mobbed.




And attacked.



And sucked into some weird black thing.





And what was I doing? Waiting for Santa to send me a gift. Which he didn't. But tha's fine, it was great fun anyway. ^-^

...I really need to get out and do something instead of posting about in-game events. XD

I've been addicted to another MMO... unfortunately it's not World of Warcraft since I can't afford to pay the monthly fee right now. It's called Red Stone, which is another one of those games where you can plkay for free, but they have a marketplace to buy in-game items with real money. Luckily, those items do not include armor/weapons/etc. The only nifty thing is an gem/orb that lets you get 20%/50% xp increase. However, you get a free gem anyway for registering the first time. They last 30 days, so perhaps I'll invest in one sometime. I'm pretty sure it'll be less than the $15+ I had to pay monthly for WoW when I was working.

It's a pretty nifty game... very old skool Diablo like. I play of course with my best budyy Allen. The quests aren't too simple, and honestly, Allen and I probably did quests that were quite a bit harder than our level. It was fun though, we like the challenge. I play a Tamer/Summoner. Right now I have a Kelby (some red hell dog thing), a Windy (a weird bird tornado hat floppy handed thing), and a Kolbold that I tamed that I grabbed. Cute little level 1 it was, now it's 16. It's having a bit of a hard time keeping up, I think.

Here's a screen shot:



(I finally decided to stop being lazy and use my own webserver instead of Photobucket.)

Allen and I go on Skype so we can chat while we play. Thank heavens for this computer that can handle it all. And thank heavens that Vista can run it!

Which I want to mention that Vista Home Premium can't run the original Manhunt, but Vista Ultimate can, and that ticks me off.

Anywho, nothing interesting going on this week. I was in the ER for another nosebleed. They cauterized it, gave me some fluids since I was bleeding for 3 someodd hours and hadn't eaten or drunken anything since the night before (and it was about 2:30 p.m. by this time). Trevor took me, bless his soul, because my mom has a bad back and can't sit in the ER chairs. Which is good that he did, since I was so lightheaded from losing blood.

Next week, I have the D&D game and a screening for an experimental IBS medication study. Anyhtin that will relieve the pain when I eat is great, even if it is experimental. Here's hoping that will go okay.

Especially because there's $550 when the study is completed.

Take care everyone! It's off to sleep for me.
