I'm tired, so this might be rambly ....

I'm back! Who missed me? :D Before I get started, I'd like to mention that I have an addendum (I think that's the right word) to my name. Henceforth, I shall be known as "Wulfa, the little cashier person." That's what the group of good-looking young men called me as they did the posing/showing off routine (not sure I'm using the right phrase but hopefully you know what I'm talking about). Well, not the Wulfa part. And I was rather excited that apparently I'm still cute!

As you probably know, the Orclette and I were at a conference all last week. Solo tanking was exhausting. My mom would've helped but as long as I was within eyeshot the Orclette threw fits if anyone but me was holding her. We had a tense first night in the cry/toddler/nursing mother's room when the Orclette walked up to the other little tykes, belly to belly, then took their toy. She settled down after that and played quite nicely the rest of the week. My mom noticed that she was saying "thankyou," or rather, "da-doo" when she would give or take a toy, so all my efforts of being polite so she would be polite have paid off! I stood out all week as the conference, thrown by Answers In Genesis, i.e. Intelligent Design rather than evolution/theistic evolution/etc., was attended mainly by homeschooler/church types and 75% were strictly in skirts and jumpers. I was the ONLY one with visible tattoos and apparently that means I'm going tribal (at least that's what one of the speakers said about tattoos-I didn't take to him at all). Moving on .....

Kara! I am so spoiled. This past week we one-shotted everything up until Prince, on whom we downed the third try, and Nightbane, who we conquered on the 2nd try. I would like to take this opportunity to thank TripleB and Cassie, who have organized some really great runs that I will now use to measure any other Kara runs I do. We love you! AND I got new purple shinies, two of which were absolute upgrades and two which could be, I think, when I get them enchanted. So a fantastic run for me. Oh-the tips about keeping my pet on the ground when we jumped up onto the pole were spot on. Thanks all! My pet did some bigredkitty damage! And, after all the AoE was done, apparently I was 3rd on the damage charts, behind Cassie and Blu. It is now my ambition to surpass Blusummers :) And I think I'm going to have to get geeky, because the TCG (Trading Card Game, for those of you like me who still don't know what all the acronyms mean) gives codes for pet biscuits which make your little companions all big. An enlarged bunny rabbit flopping around is just too cute for words.

I'm famous! I had a whisper from someone I didn't know a couple days ago. I asked if I knew them, and they said no, but they read my blog. I blushed, ran out of the room to tell Dammy, and it just generally made my day.

Ok, I have run out of Orclette-will-play-by-herself time. Later!

The Cat is Out of the Bag

I wonder where that expression comes from? There is this fabulous book that can tell you, only I forgot the name of it. Next time I come across it I think I'm going to have to buy it. Anyway. I was going to wait. A long time. Maybe forever. I don't like people coming up and hugging me, smiling and saying congratulations, or asking me questions. But Damm was talking to his recruiter about insurance. And he mentioned something that he should've told the recruiter was non-repeatable, because 5 minutes later the recruiter told Damm's mother (I have no earthly idea why he's talking to her-I keep forgetting to ask). After that I had to tell my mother. We haven't told any extended family members because there are quite a few here celebrating Damm's mother's graduation and that would be the worst form of torture I can imagine. So yeah, I'm knocked up again :P And this time I'm getting the t-shirt. "It" is due August 11. I have not been to a doc...

A tanking guide.

Here is the situation: Your guild has been busy all day long while your at work. You finally get home and log in and are informed that the GM(and main tank) is about to leave and you are now assigned tanking duty. You start to panic. You don't know what to do. And agro is already spiralling out of control. Ever been in that situation? I have. So I decided I would write a guide for this very situation. Step 1) Are the appropraite debuffs up? Step 2) Do you have the tools? Step 3) Are you practicing the fundamentals? Step 4) Are you prepared for the long haul? And Step 5) How to finish with a resounding silence. Are the appropriate debuffs up? You absolutely MUST have these debuffs up to start and you need to keep them up. There are only two of them and here they are in the order of priority: a) Clean Diaper. If Orclette's Diaper isn't clean you won't be able to contain the agro. I don't care how good your other fundamentals are. This is a MUST HAVE and should be chec...
