My time playing HKO was sadly short and (unsadly) sweet. I’m not going to lie.. it was my first time playing a MMORPG (gasp!) and it was tons-o-fun!!!

 Sure there were quirks at first like pantless characters (didn’t happen to me, but I heard of someone whom it did happen to) or remaining stuck in “Floral-Harbor” when the servers were full, but that just adds onto the unique and preproduction  aspect of playing a BETA. It just makes the experience all the more memorable people!

OMG, and even though its a bit uncanny… I loved trying (and sometimes failing) to get people to play this game! I managed to get my boyfriend to play, while everyone else… simply saw my proposal. =/

So playing with my boo was fun even if it only occured a handful of times. Him and I agreed that one of the hardest things when starting out in the game (at least for us) was GETTING A WAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gosh at first I thought that I could use the sticks and twigs that I picked up… that was embarrasing when I asked someone if I could do that and they responded with an astounding “NO!”

I thought that baking things was the most awesome thing EVER, and so was fariming and this is probably due to my undying love for food (shout out to my homies chocolate cake and fudge brownies! I will never abandone you guys!!!). =D

But seriously though, no lie… I may have never really played a MMORPG so who am I to judge…. but this game…. is/was/whatever seriously CUTE. I didn’t know so many character existed in Sanrio Land and I wish that I could have each and every one of them and just- and just- HUG THEM ALL! (>_<) I think that anyone who played this game can agree that’s one of those “reel them in” factors, and how could a game featuring Hello Kitty NOT be cute?? Come on!

And the players (GM’s included of course ;D <-winky face) were all so nice! Everyone was helpful whenever a newbie (me included) got lost and/or stuck. Whenever I got the hang of something I made sure to repay the favor onto others as well. I tried to help whenever I could. The GM’s were especially helpful (that I saw) to anyone generally despite someone on the forums who thought otherwise. A nice bunch of peeps to play with.

London aside from Floralopolis (sorry if I’m misplelling) was the city that I got a chance to visit. And yes, I managed to get there without dying even if I probably should’ve leveled up more before I tried to do so- darn those snakes!! The places were so nicely (and AWESOMELY) decorated, with the trees even swaying back and forth. It was like goo-goo gaa-gaa of cuteness.

And of course, the ending was so dramatic!!! Hello Kitty was runing around all of Sanrio Harbor to the point where I was about to begin panting chasing after her! It would have been super cool to actually talk to her though.  Unfortunately I don’t have any screen shots since it never occured to me that I should take any. But it almost felt like New Year’s Eve at Time Square (not that I’ve ever been there.. and yes I know that rhymed). So many characters jam packed together like, well like jam! People from all sorts of groups and guilds chanting “I love yous” and “I miss yous”.  Despite the cyber-netic environment, it’s safe to say there was a lot of energy out and about during those short and narrowing hours ’til the temporary end. (Of course because this game is coming back, right? RIGHT?!?!?!)

The saddest part was when 12 o’clock struck (or was it 11 o’clock- I have such a bad memory I’m sorry) and the server automatically kicked me off. It was done, finished, finit-o! At least until another Beta comes out or better yet- the final product.

Sorry for writting so much! Hopefully it wasn’t that unbearable. >< And please give me that diamond pendant! Pretty please with sugar on top!!!! Trust I make the best bread- HKO taught me how lol.

Well.. I’m almost done with this semester. I’m so annoyed that my schedule is all messed up for the spring!!! >:o Ok, sure I over sleep like EVERY friggin’ day and sure that I skip class more often than not but that doesn’t mean that I like the idea of going to school in the afternoon!!! Morning classes are awesome becuase I have the rest of the day to do whatever.. even if that whatever is SLEEP. My only hope is that somehow I’ve adapted enough to actually wake up early next semester, which realistically I won’t because I know myself! XO

So… I should be looking into my term paper right? Instead I’m here writting a blog because last time I did was waaaaaaay long agooo.

I was watching the Tyra show earlier today and they had an episode where there was a woman in her early 20’s who was still a virgin. She was somehow putting her virginity up on an auction which was going for as much as approx. 2 million dollars. That is insane! So of course there was the lovely moral dilemma of using your sexuality to make some dough, and how could she do this? Doesn’t she have any dignity? Etc, etc..

 So… I guess it’s fine and dandy to do with your body as you please, but it IS kind of sad to see someone who’s willing to put a price tag on herself- male or female.. it certrainly isn’t something admireable.

I agree that we definitely have the right to do with our bodies what we please- be it insane ammounts of sex or lack thereof- without fearing the stigma of negative labels. I mean, why should it matter to someone else what I do versus what someone else does? Gender and ethnicity shouldn’t come into play but they do. Isn’t morality subjective anyhow?

BLOOP! On another note… I’m going to hate the days leading up to Thanksgiving (but not Thanksgiving itself of course =P).
