The RPG Class Test

Mystic Theurge
25% Combativeness, 23% Sneakiness, 55% Intellect, 83% Spirituality
Brilliant and spiritual! You are a Mystic Theurge!


Score! You have a prestige class. A prestige class can only be taken after you’ve fulfilled certain requirements. This may mean that you’re an exceptionally talented person, but it probably doesn't.


The Mystic Theurge is a combination of a cleric and a mage. They can cast both arcane and divine spells, and are good at both, making them pretty terrifying on the battlefield. They have more raw spellpower than just about any other class.


You're both intelligent and faithful, but not violent or deceitful. I guess that makes you a pretty good person.



My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

Ok so I was bored!





Bard/Dancer
You scored 63% Magic, 61% Strength, 63% Stealth, and 64% Spirit of Hope!
Description:You are a Bard/Dancer! The Winds Musical Poet . . . or The Passionate Prima Donna . . . Bards/Dancers are the only classes that are seperated by their gender in Ragnarok. They are among the most entertaining class to become because of their ability to play music and use various status effects on people. It is a misunderstood class that can get the drop on people if they are not careful. In advance all female characters should be warned, males will usually ask your hand in marrage just because of the dancers beauty.

yay -_- Chemotherapy today!

I am happy as a fly in a spider web...mhmm. So yeah it came and went...once again feeling nauseated and no my nausea medicine doesn't work so I just resort to my own methods. Hot tea, pizza, chinese food, nothing italian, cold cereal, no steamed vegetables, I can tolerate broccoli, stuff with ginger in it, and lots of water especially the day of and a few days after....it tends to get the toxins out of my body faster and I tend to feel less nausea for the rest of the two week period in between my treatments. Being online and being able to talk to ppl definately gets my mind off of things and distracts me when the nurses are sticking me like a pin cushion. Today was by far the worst. They stuck me 5 times before they actually managed to get a good vein. I was told that if they couldn't stick me that they would have to put a port in. A port is well...*looks up a good definition*...

port

This is an implated access device which allows professional carers to draw blood and make intravenous (or intra-arterial) injections into a patient in an easier way without having to locate and insert a canulla into a new vessel. Some ports are connected for intrathecal, intraperitoneal or intracavitary injections. These devices are expensive and are not free of problems, they should not be implated without good indications. Normally implantation is performed by a surgeon with experience in this technique, in a operational theatre under local anaesthetic.

So yeah I would have had to go through a surgical procedure in order for them to insert this into my body. Anyway the downside to this whole thing is that they would require me to come into the office once a month for the next year....which would prevent me from moving when my chemo is done. So yeah I said a little prayer and talked to my veins one more time and wouldn't ya know...she got the vein. You have NO idea how happy I was.

Anyway, now that I am feeling nice and yucky...I am going to go back home and go to bed and hope that I feel well enough for dinner b/c I only ate some eggs for breakfast and skipped lunch but I am currently not in the mood to eat.

Thank goodness I am able to connect through T-Mobile's Hotspot here at the hospital. Once again...thank you to Meta <3 for getting me this laptop. I will never ever be able to thank you enough! /glmp /hugs

A pic of me while I wasn't feeling well...



So yeah I wasn't feeling too that day...just felt like being in bed all day. And that is one of the scarves that I wear now!

So yeah I got the laptop ^^

I am been trying to get used to it...it's SWEET as sweet can possibly be! And here are the specs for those that know anything about pcs.

Click here for a review on it!

I got FFXI and iRO installed, WOOT!

Basically I have just been trying to get used to the keyboard and what not. It's hard playing without a mouse but I'll be getting one very shortly.

As far as how I'm doing, which I get that question non-stop!

I am ok as someone going through chemo can possibly be. The nausea is the killer but fortunately my hair hasn't all fallen out yet...but oh trust me it's getting there!

Good news from my doctor...he said that I only have 6 more treatments left so that means that I should finish by around September 28th and given some time for recovery it will be around the beginning of October before I can really continue with my life!

Plans are to move....I don't wanna share too much right now until all is said and done but one day I will spill the beans hehe.

I still haven't gotten back into the habbit of blogging, well b/c I'm still kinda not used to having a pc...STILL! I will never ever ever be able to thank the person who got it for me....*hugs you and kisses you* (you know who you are ;)).

So anyway, that is just a little update until I get back into the swing of updating more often...oh and yes...that whole teaching thing has been put on hold for a bit but I'm gonna be going back to get my degree in Math very soon =)

Well I did receive...

Well I did receive my dsl modem which wasn't supposed to be here until Monday but I didn't receive my laptop yet, which was supposed to be here today or Monday. I checked the tracking number and it might not get here until Wednesday.../sob. But that will be ok because it will be just in time for my next chemo treatment which gets worse and worse every time. I'll probably sign up for T-mobile Hotspots for like a day pass or something. Anyway, unpatientely waiting....
