STO
Break from WoW
Feb 27th
o.. I have a few free months of WoW from my brother and his friend. I think. Erik said he and Marshall were going to give WoW another month and see what happened. But I think they are going to leave for the new Star Wars MMO. But anyway… Now I need a break from WoW :( So I played play STO and SC2 for a little while. My STO 5-day trial is done and I miss it already. :( I really enjoy the “geek out” factor I get from it. I never really had that playing WoW. Of course, I hadn’t been a WoW fan since I was a toddler. Nope, that was Star Trek. I dunno what to do! Maybe it is because STO is new and shiny. I’ll give it a few days and we’ll see if I still want it.. Not that I have the money to buy it right now..
So! STO. I didn’t get past Lt. Commander Rank 8 because I didn’t crack out that much. But one of the last quests I did was going to the Gateway System to go back in time through the Guardian of Forever, which had me totally flipping with nerd happiness. BUT!! Even beyond that.. I got to rescue Kirk’s Enterprise from a Klingon attack before zipping off to save a kidnapped NPC. Then come back to Gateway only to find more Klingon ships and then get saved by the Enterprise in turn! I totally geeked out. I mean, seriously.. AHHHH!!!! That’s so cool!!
I should have between 60 and 80 dollars coming to me for babysitting the last two weeks. It will be 80 as of Sunday. I hope they didn’t forget to pay me. :(
Az and I are trying to earn money anyway we can at this point : / We’re so short on money that we might have to get rid of the net for a little while just to make ends meet. Then where would I be? Can’t build webpages. Can’t talk to family.. I can’t keep getting cash from my parents forever.. but there are no jobs here to be had.. So what can I do? Even the retail stores have stopped taking applications and no one even responds to my resume. It’s disheartening. I guess I can go back to school now… Maybe. I’ll have to go out to the San Marcos campus and ask for help.
