Two, and three.

So I'm about to start slamming down druid levels as I try to level my druid as fast as possible. In the meantime today is slow at work so I'm researching Kitty Talents. Here is what I'm thinking in the order that I intend to get them: 5/5 Ferocity 3/3 Thick Hide 2/2 Brutal Impact 2/2 Feral Swiftness 3/3 Sharpened Claws 2/2 Primal Fury 3/3 Predatory Strikes 1/1 Faerie Fire (Feral) 2/2 Savage Fury 2/2 Shredding attacks 5/5 Heart of the Wild 1/1 Leader of the Pack 2/2 Improved Leader of the Pack 3/3 Survival of the Fittest 5/5 Predatory Instincts 1/1 Mangle At this point I've spent 42 points in Feral. Then I spend: Restoration (14 points) 5/5 Furor 5/5 Naturalist 3/3 Natural Shape Shifter(powershiftin baby) 1/1 Omen of Clarity I've now spent 56 points and am level 65. At this point I'm sorta lost. I was thinking: 1/1 Feral Charge 2/3 Feral Instinct 2/2 Nurturing Instinct As I' should have a ton of AGI at this point and I like N.I. But I'm not fully sure...

Wyn: interesting trivia: if you read the lore, the horde are the "good guys," if anyone is Edit: Orc & Tauren easily. Trolls...hmm they are such a sidekick race its hard to tell... certainly they've stopped some bad evils(hakkar and the Aqir)...but they also started some(hakkar and other crappy voodoo). Neutral like any good mercs. Undead... solid resistance fighters/good guys in my books. Sure they want more people to be undead but thats practically a biological directive to reproduce. I mark them as 75% good. Blood Elves.... Misguided but good at heart. The moody teens gangsters of WoW. And now that Sunwell has happened they are on the path to redemption.

This is where Wulfa scowls at her RL avatar because she's typing not questing ... and then she turns that fierce scowl on you, the reader, and tells you not to talk to her because she's almost there ...... (there being 70)

"The best time in PVE is…losing. I’m dead serious. There is absolutely nothing better in PVE than wiping on a progression boss, short of finally killing it. That’s what makes raiding worth it: the trial, toil, and learning that goes into finally defeating any boss you’re stuck on. Farming a boss you’ve killed for months is rather boring. It can be and still is fun for most people, mostly because of gear and the people you’re raiding with, but as any raider knows, it’s just not quite as fun as working on a new boss. People literally get excited to go get the crap beaten out of them for four hours a night." The author of the above statement is Fate of Apathy.inc. I have to agree with him. If you aren't losing then its boring. Odd that people view PvP in a different light. Anyways his paragraph reminded me of how last nights Pox run went. Starting a few bubbles into level 28 we stormed into Scarlet Monastery. Graveyard was so pitfully easy we got bored and had 'CC...

Me and someone had an interesting conversation yesterday. Prompting this short question post: Who do you put on a pedestel? Who do you look down on? Don't answer either of these please. I don't really want to know. I just did a personal inventory and realized there are an awful lot of people that I either elevate or disparage for reasons that are not really valid reasons. I know there are people I've thought horrible things about who were really just normal regular joes who were smart in other areas but inexperianced in the arena I knew them in. I know there are people I've thought of as amazing self assured genius specimens of physical perfection....who were really insecure, incompetant, losers who wanted more from life. Anways this is just serious thoughts from the Orc.

Everytime I go for a long walk with just Orclette and myself I come up with what I feel are great scenes for this story I'm writing*. But when I come back and start trying to actually write the scenes I feel.... silly. Really silly. Like I'm giving a speech. I'm trying to get around this and am not quite sure how to. I know I'm not the only one who feels very vernerable and exposed when writing. Anyways ideas wanted. *by writing I mean I have a written outline I know all the major characters and if asked I could describe each scene/person/event but I don't have any dialog/descriptions actually written and my characters don't have names. I know the beginning and the end just haven't been able to force myself to actually write it. This is the 2nd such story** **ie: the second complete story I've come up with that has never been written or told*** ***beyond short synopsis' to Wulfa and telling it to Orclette

Green Pox plays tonight as far as I know. Our plan is to start on SM, do the graveyard and see how it goes. Fortunately for horde Scarlet M. is an easy walk. No overly long flights to crazy far away places. I'm really looking forwards to it. Last night I meant to play my shaman but really I don't think I will be able to play him until wulfa is able/willing to play Beowulfa . I just really don't like leveling by myself while my wife and brothers are playing at the same time on a different server. So I instead spent the evening getting from level 15 to level 18 on Dampanza . Only two more levels to cat form. Yay ! I hear people saying in my reader feed how 'old' wow's graphics are and they compare the graphics with new games coming out. I want to laugh. WoW's graphics even on my comp with all off the settings turned all the way down(even after the video card) are still better than any of the screen shots I've seen for AoC . I'm serious. ...

Yesterday, at the wonderful cafeteria run by Dammy's workplace, contemplating the Reese's Peanut Butter Pie/Cake thingamajiggy: Dammy: "I want to experiment. Let's eat the pie today and see if our weight goes up tomorrow." (note: the day before we had had burgers, fries, and the same kind of pie and our weight had gone down) Me: "Um, okay." (note: who can resist Reese's? I sure can't.) Today, after the weighing: Me: "I'm up a pound." Dammy: "Yeah, that experiment didn't work."

Outlands is fun! I was able to farm up enough gold to buy an entire set of low level(61) junky greens for healing purposes. I'm pondering the resto shaman more than ever but need to spend 15-30 min getting myself about 40g or so I can respec and respec back if I don't like it. Unfortunately Wulfa picked up "The Host" yesterday. So while she was being mind controlled by the book I held Orclette in my lap and chatted on vent. Very little playing. Again I'm glad outlands is so very nice about the gold so little playing was all I needed. Her cuteness wants to be constantly picked up and put back down and picked back up. And then she'll sit in your lap and stare at what you are doing and then stare up at you and keep swapping back and forth overwhelming you with the cute. We are so blessed. She is so awesome. I'm thinking shaman again tonight. Sorta torn though. I know that enh kills faster. Oh GOSH I kill faster. I laughed at this rogue that came by...he took ...

More to come later. I haven't had a chance to post recently due to work and things of that nature.

Orclette and I had our very first jam session today. I had rhythm with my epic drum set (i.e. hands and a handy set of legs to beat them upon), Orclette had piano (it's the cutest little piano). vocals (rather high-pitched and off-key a bit but we're working on that) and the tambourine (i.e. making cute little spitting noises in between choruses). It was so cute I just had to share it.

Yep, that's right, I haz mad huntering skillz. I can wear my t-shirt with pride. How do I know this? TripleB AND Squirrelz told me so. So there. TripleB, Cassie, Squirrelz, and Nas went with me into Sethekk and Shadow Labs. I've been informed that at that level it is not longer a "run-through." My mind has not wrapped around the fact that I am fast approaching 70 and will be one of the Big Boys who take other people through instances, rather than the other way around. So, instance run. First time, really, for me to party as a hunter. Running your hubby and brother through when you are the OP hunter and several levels higher than the instance doesn't count, in my opinion. I was fairly nervous-biggest concern being that I would make A HUGE GIGANTIC MISTAKE AND CAUSE EVERYBODY TO DIE A HORRIBLE AND NASTY DEATH. This didn't happen (as far as I know). And it was the most fun I've had since New Year's 3 years ago. And since that sounds bad, let me elaborate...
