Two, and three.

So this dropped. Oh and I got myself a kitty so I'm a hunter now! We're both just so very happy to see something worth so much drop into our hands.

I am having the hardest time wrapping my head around this. I don't sit and hungrily wish for the awesome item of awesomeness. I'm actually very content to idly farm badgermen for Timbermaw rep. I like fishing for goodness sake. I level slowly! I tell you this so you know I'm not a fully fledge loot whore. I like everyone I know do succumb to the occasional selfish act(rolling on the +9 agi shoulders with my rogue and hunter). But 75% of the time I'm content to gear others up. So I'm not confused by the 'not caring about the loot'. But when I sit down the day before a pox run I make note of each boss and what they drop and in my head I make a list of check marks and think okay we're going to do them in this order until we have those items. If we don't get the items I think "okay we're doing it again". And we'll "do it again" until -all- of the loot has dropped. All of it. And all the bosses are cleared. And al...

I've spent all week trying to think of something nice and organized to write about in advanced. It isn't gonna happen this week. We lost power for most of the afternoon/day yesterday. Not sure why. We had clear skies and warm sunny weather.[Ed. Note the author is nicely ignoring the flooding/storms from the night before]. We got it back though by the time I left work and after a nice long walk with family and dinner I was able to proceed to the crater place. Ooooo spellcheck yay. I completed a few more of the Crater quests before someone* talked me into trying Sunken Temple. My thought? I love looks and the mobs. I don't like duoing elites. Elites is too much like partying. Partying is pox. For now at least. After my first death(and i had forgotton to resupply on ankhs) we stopped. She got off, and I started walking to winterspring. I never made it. In felwood I found this guy who told me that I could get Timbercow rep if I kill Deadwood thingies. I verified...

So power just died. Its a freakin sunshiny day and our entire little town is out of power. At work we're working on generators. /sigh.

My router at my house gets hosed up everytime the power goes off. Wulfa post coming later once this gets fixed.

Tonight is our pox night. We've all been gone or busy or scattered for the last two weeks and it feels like its been ages since we did anything poxy. I'm trying hard to refocus. Lessee... what are all the names again? Oh I'm a tank...huh... okay.... I'm sure I've got bars somewhere down here... ah there we go... growl... thats like taunt... I hope. Where were we? Level 18? Wow that seems so small now. Wailing caverns huh... hrm. Are we sure? SM is low level we're not doing it? Oh right 35.... Yeah. Long breaks are hard on people like me who like to be excited for a week or two and then change subjects. Today work is really slow. Last night I got on and made 30k xp and dinged 53. I'm back to beign 4 levels behind someone. But honestly thats not entirely my fault... I can only play at night. And my nights have been taken a bunch recently. Found out that I need 60! rune cloth for the quest not 20 like I had thought. Lessee: I need 21000 rep... b...

REAL LIFE We have had my dad visiting for the past 2 days. He took dumbbrother and they drove 1300 miles to Long Island to pickup two corroded old motorcycles that dumbbrother bought on some online auction. They also went sight seeing as none of us had ever seen NY until they went on this trip. Turns out that the Statue of Liberty has securty like an airplane and you can't bring pocket knives. Also turns out that there is a three day wait to go inside the Statue and you ahve to get on the list well in advance. Still.. they had fun. I'm glad my dad is here. We don't get to talk much because well... we have a weak relationship. I moved out when I was 18 and by then I was already not talking much to him. Not because of dislike or anything... just ... I'm very very bad about relationships with friends/family and tend to 'drop' ones that I'm not active in. Now that I've got the orclette I've been -slowly- trying to remedy 10+ years of quiet avoidance. So ...

Rofl. Seriously... I have this mental picture of an enraged Woman knocking on a kids door with a scrabble board in one hand and a bag of tiles in the other. The kid opens the door. Woman: "Hello... are you [stupid-player-name]" Kid[fearfully]: "Ye..s?" Woman: "I'm here to teach you to pvp... we're starting with a quick spelling lesson called "You are an idjit. HiiiiiYA! [TILES FLY FROM HER HANDS PINNING HIM TO THE WALL] [The scrabble board morphs into a baseball bat shaped board] [She starts beating him about the head]"REPEAT AFTER ME!! I WILL NOT GRAB THE FLAG! I WILL NOT GRAB THE FLAG!" The front door slowly drifts shut muffling the yelling. End scene.

Fun obvious links. These things are awesome... you know it... I know it... but I still say it. Just so you know... Ratters is awesome .... twice this weekend I succumbed to hero-worship after a post of his. Seriously. The ICKY is still fun... even when she's job panicking. Someone go call the internet and set them up with a nice quiet night in a nice hotel somewhere so they can work on relationship issues. http://www.xkcd.com/ Made my reader friday.

When you are required to tank or group for something and all you can think is... dang I'd rather be playing my alt.
