Redemption


"Out with the old and in with the new" is the phrase that pops in to my mind. My last posts, back in 2009, brought me disgrace and shame to my personal being.

What or who was I trying to be?

What was I trying to accomplish? Lord knows, but I am not going to return to the hap-hap-happy blogger I was.

Though the hap-hap-happiness of a blogger is one quaility that draws one to venture and read said blog… This is VFK I’m talking about, yeah?

Y’all know what? Let old Blackie tell you s’mm knowledge she’s learned over the past 4 years of VFK’s existence:

It’s. What. You. Make. It.

Take that to whatever tone you wish to hear out of me, but that is that.

I’m creating this blog to make a scrapbook of events that go on in this Kingdom. Splurging my opinions is a guarantee: I’m not going to hold anything back.

Enough with the deep train-of-thought let me introduce: I am a teenage-player of VFK, and the lost-but-not-forgotten VMK. I started VMK in, I believe, 2006 as foxesrockmysox, then as Ankha, and as a final title decision: BlackHedghog. I was a Sonic (SEGA) fan back in the day, and Shadow or any other names accommodated with Shadow the Hedgehog were taken. So, lacking the ability of spelling “hedgehog” correctly—putting “black” and “hedghog” together was the best thing that ever happened.

I came across VFK when the hours of VMK’s existence came to a sorrowful end, and people were talking about it in Central Square. And low and behold, I signed myself up for Beta.

May of 2008, was a great and mournful month. Getting into beta was atrocious: server errors, website freezings, and long hours of sitting at a computer just WAITING for an automatic page refresh to take us into our new home. But it was worth it.

I thought of my title, but had this lingering logic: New game = dibs on titles.

More lingering logic: same title = easy old-friend finder (though, to this day, my old VMK friends are no where to be found).

I started the first quest for the pink or blue surf board. Ok, cool, they still had the quests. As the beta-months went on I drifted away, but still logged on to see if anything was new. I came back for Halloween in hopes they had a red pirate bandana and outfit. They did! My heart raced and with the little credits I had, bought the entire pirate outfit and the mummy outfit. Then quit. “I don’t want to learn on a MPORPG!” I said as the Quest button hung its head in shame.

"She doesn't like me." It whined as it left for the garden.

I came back Christmas to get the goodies and slowly came back. It was until Spring 2009 I started to play more and more.

I eventually, once school started to get rough, I buckled down on school work and took breaks only coming online for events such as holiday balls, quests, clothing and world releases.

I’m fully back on now! School has finally ended for me and I (unfortunately) have free time. I also support blue hair, red pirate bandanas, mansion suits, and bulky framed glasses… and I changed my title to Nocturne, based off of the Nocturne of Shadows in Legend of Zelda [NINTENTO]. I dislike clones, though I use them myself, when they are use for “evil” (HOST hunts, attention getting, report-happy-jerks, some HOST events, etc).

In a personal opinion, if people have at least (or over) 100 clones, why don’t they give a little? I spent my long, waking hours on VFK when I could have been doing homework and bestowing in front of me, HOST_Who-ever was found by Guest######, …found by Abbby1, …found by Abbby2! I just want to win a leprechaun hat, is THAT so wrong? I’ll rant about clones later. For some reason, this year they’re really starting to irk me…

That’s all about me. Hope you enjoyed it. If you know me in game, great; I don’t expect anyone to track me down.

Just look for the bandana wearing blue haired girl.

Kay bye.
