Eleven Nineteen

As most of you probably know (Or don't care since you play FFXI and your days run together anyway), today is November 19th.

That's 11/19.

1119.

Well let me tell you a little bit about the number 1119.

This number has been haunting me for well over a year. It started in FFXI. Just a usual day, meriting in Caedarva Mire (Before the fancy new bird camp came out). On SAM, of course, the best DDing job in all of the game.

So I decide to dick around a little bit. Silly WS's Goten, Kagero, whatever.

Tachi: Koki, hits a Jnun for 1119. We all had a 'lol.

So some time later, I forget exactly when, we're fighting one of the several banes of my existence, Fafnir. The LS leader of our group at the time, Rustyblade, tells me to go back and SAWS him.

SAWS Fafnir.

From Behind.

Fafnir = Wyrm

SAWS Fafnir, a Wyrm, from behind.

So I'm behind Fafnir now, right? SAWS? Okay, whatever.

Kadaj readies Tachi: Kasha
Fafnir takes 1119 points of damage.

Whoah, coincidence!? Probably.

From then on its been a veritable smorgasbord of 1119's. WS's, players' HP and MP, things like that. But it doesn't stop there. No, I'd look down at the trip meter on my car. 111.9. Wonder what time it is now? 11:19.

So last year on November 19th, a few months after the first meriting incident, I decide to lolKoki another Jnun.

1186.

In fact there's Picture evidence of that one.

Another spike hit, but not the same number. If it was, I'd probably have ended up starting a number worshiping cult by now.

Its only 4:14pm, got the rest of the day to go. No idea what's going to happen.

I don't trust it, though. That damn number.

If the world ends tonight, thank you for reading.
