Are you serious?

Yes. Yes, we are. Welcome to our brand new blog! I know the first thing going through your mind... is this a coming out party??? No, it's not. It is just a chronicle of two friends: one straight(me!) and one gay (xan!). I suppose the title can be misleading, but that's where the whole fun comes in. If you aren't willing to write on the edge, there is no reason to write at all.

Well, getting past that. I see you are still with us. I bet you are just a little curious. Well before we dwell into anymore comical antiques of myself and my friend, I'd like to make a small introduction about us. I think knowing a little background behind us will make you find this content a whole lot more hilarious. I gotta say this, if you keep reading, do so at your own risk (and I know you want to keep reading). We are not exactly the kind to hold our tongues back, so if you are feeling a little nauseous... well keep reading anyways. It will be fun!

Let me open up with a little introduction about myself through my own eyes (maybe Xan can tell you about me through his eyes at a later time!). Well I am from the Deep South. That's right, I grew up among Rednecks. Sounds scary? No.. I call it interesting. You learn interesting skills from a good Redneck. How to put monster truck tires on your Bronco (I bet you thought noone drove those anymore), how to wield double barrel shot gun, and of course most of all.. you learn how to impregnate your sister. Woah, totally kidding, you don't learn that from observing Rednecks. Those kind of skills are only passed from father to son within the family. Oh, I forgot to mention, I wasn't born here. I moved here when I was finishing 5th grade... from Europe (damn commies :(... I'll have to write up about my life before Rednecks in another post). Let me tell you... when you live along rednecks, you pick some of their habits. For one, my favorite clothing selection is a pair of jeans and a white shirt (although I can dress up real snazzy). Also, I can't live without saying "ain't." I do it all the time, I don't know why. I suppose, it's just a habit. Well I don't want to tell you too much about my life right off the bat. Gotta save some for future stories! Though... I think I should get into what you guys know me for... FFXI

I go by Artem in game as you all know. I have Warrior 75, Ninja 75, and Bard 75 with pretty much every subjob. Currently working on RNG(51 with 2/5 AF2), BST(56), SAM(42 with 3/5 AF2!), and my current passion... RDM(6.. just 6). Some pictures of my WAR and BRD... don't have any of ninja at the moment, but I will be sure to get more. Anyhow, I have been playing since the release of NA game 4 years ago. I started with my best friend Antor. Who is probably takes the most attention in his gear than any other person I've known in-game. I was originally dragged into the game by none other than Elemmire. I'm sure you've heard about Elemmire here. Before we started FFXI, three of us ran a friendly game making website.

Eventually that lost my vision as the original creator and it drifted away out of my hands into others. I passed that on and moved on to FFXI! Fast forward almost two years, and that's when Xan and I met. I was a homophobe, I was creeped out by him hitting on me. Soon, however, I learned to take it as a joke like he means it and we became good friends. We do all kinds of stuff in-game anything from killing HNMs to doing ENMs to just plain dieing together (/slashwrist & que Evanescence). I am currently in Kaizen and have been for about a year. I love it, it's a great place, we have lots of fun. Before that I was in Valkyrs, it was a great shell but I left due to bias within the leadership and que system. Gotta give my props to Hyre, he is the reason I stayed in the shell as long as I did. Great guy, he is one of the nicest people I've met. If you see him in game, give a good /bow for me :D

Well more on me later... let's talk about Xan

Xan... well he likes men (atleast how I see it...) but some things tell me otherwise.

I think I'll let him post more about himself when he wakes up! For now... peace out?




XAN NINJA EDIT:

Artem logging onto my character and saying such blasphemous things as that pictured in the screenshot, in LS chat, does not a straightie out of Xan make.

Since this is an introduction post, I should probably show that there's more to Xan than buttsecks. OR IS THERE?! Actually... there's like... no buttsecks. Artem has continually refused to provide. What a selfish mofo! Then he wonders why I'm in a rotten mood when it's clearly his fault for not giving it up already. But, don't worry Artie. I still love you, even without buttsecks.

Unlike Art, I was not raised in the deep south amongst the redneck hordes (not that I have anything really against them! Look at Art!). I lived most of my life in NJ. It is a place where incest is not a birthright. Which is too bad. Cause incest is my most favoritest genre of gay porn!

I was also not born in the US though. Like Art, I came from abroad in the fifth grade. Except that I came from Brazil , not Europe. So yes--I'm South American trash, and I've just recently returned to Brazil; land of sexy, bootilicious, bikini-waxed babes that I do not care to check out.

The guys can get pretty sexy too though... and as added bonus... brazilians are HUNG! Really, we are! Just ask Artem.

As you probably know. I am Xantrailles on the Quetzelcoatl server of FFXI (did I spell that server name correctly?), the gayest bard in VanaDiel. I hardly ever play bard now a days though. I guess I've passed the flaming gay torch on (/sea all Meastoso). I seem to mostly play WHM, but you can occasionally see me as any of my other 75 jobs (BRD WHM BLM SMN RDM).

I've also been playing since the NA release of FFXI for the PC. I started playing this game because I had been a Final Fantasy fanboy every since FFVII on the Playstation. That had been my second RPG game ever. After that I was hooked. I had never played an MMORPG before. Since this was a Final Fantasy game though, I simply had to try it out.

I pretty much stuck to all the linkshells I had ever been in for a long time except for one, but that's because most of that LS spoke Japanese and I couldn't stand not understanding what was said. Around the late level 50s I started joining parties with an old friend from my first LS (Silverblood) and eventually got invited to join their mostly static party permanently.

Quite soon after that, I met Nasya through them who has big plans to start an NA-based HNM LS. Though only a handful of the original members remain, as many have moved on from this game, we are still around and known as Kaizen.

I don't remember where exactly I met Artem. I supposed it must have been in our dynamis LS. He was a total gay-hater though, as he pointed out. I thought it was a shame that such a cutie not be down with the ways of manlove. I had to sweet-talk him quite a bit before he "warmed" up t

o me. My efforts eventually paid off. I guess he could say I grew on him, and he has no idea just how much I (it) grew. Well, I'm sure he's felt it rub up against him at one point or another :D
