I grow old, I grow old, I shall wear the bottom of my trousers rolled...

well, not as old as AJ Prufrock but yes, I'm now older. Sigh. One lucky note is, next year I will be able to invert my age numbers and will practically deceive everyone heh...

BTW. This year I feasted on a Vana'diel birthday, with a very special personal escort. A big THANK YOU to Tashan who also got me some fine presents
As usual, the poor soul had to babysit me and drag me around Vana'diel to complete a quest I couldn't face alone ( "The Setting Sun"). Then he had me invest the 10000gil reward in Millioncorns to be traded in Selbina to raise Bastok fame and go get My Tele-Dem. A whole afternoon up and around jumping from airships to choco slowga choco...

Honestly, I don't know if it was -really- necessary to have me run naked to/fro selbina in order to save free gobbiebag space but... I'll close an eye on that, considering it a cornsequence of the corn business.
By the way I finally understood the deep meaning of the term "Millioncorn". You do, when you trade 24 stacks of corn 3 pcs each.
Shyen falls on her knees thanking the corn god it's over...
Anyway I also got my mini-fork of earth. And I got Shiva (I followed Tashie as official pon-pon elvaan from San d'Oria high while he soloed the prime fight)
She is totally not as good as carby. She will definitely stick to chimneysweeping in my MH. Revenge IS sweet
