How do I feel about...

BBB meandered into Vent last night while we were prepping for a Ramparts run and while we were chatting he asked me how I feel about Wulfa being 70 and raiding. And being a very successful raider at that. While I still didn't have a 70. I can fairly honestly say that it really hasn't ever really crossed my mind. I never looked at raiding and thought "that is where I want to be". I never really looked at 70 and thought "that is where I want to be". Now don't get me wrong. I have many many many times wished I was 70. But a lot of those times it was because you only get access to 'x' spell at 70. A lot of times it was because if I was 70 then I would no longer have that slight external pressure to be 70. But never have I thought "I want to be 70 because thats where I want to be". I guess it is sort of like being exalted with a faction. You want it for the loot but rarely for the simple fact of being exalted. If I could si

The Victorian Age

Heck I don't know if this was an age or not. But take the clothing from League of Extrodinary Gentlemen, My fair Lady, and Arcanum and you have the age I'm talking about. Okay now throw in a HUGE helping of gears and steam and grease. Now add just about -anything- and you have awesome. I just felt the need to say this.

Rambles brambles.

The people who keep complaining about how bad WoW does this or that but won't just stop playing the game. I have theories on why they do this. #1 They are bored of or completed WoW but when they tried to go find another game they can't find a game that was as fun or as polished as WoW. So they are stuck... not able to find something to replace their once favorite game but tired of it. #2 They want to quit but they want their friends to quit with them and their friends are having a blast and don't want to quit. $3 They are jerkface whiners who just like to complain a lot and even if WoW was the most perfect game ever they would continue to complain. I am one level from respeccing resto healer and cajoling guild members to run ramparts with me for all eternity(ie: until level 60 or so). At 55 I'll be able to get a port to shatt and walk down to ramparts and actually enter the instance. I plan to get at least one level just running this instance before I go back to ques

A Beautiful Thing ....

Fal, Xiliah, Eustace, and Gaddrick (oh and me!) went through SL. First time for Eustace, second time for me (first time through as a 70 for me). We wiped twice (and don't let Fal tell you it was his fault-it wasn't-there were 5 of us out there!) but all in all it was a beautiful run. AND the Sonic Spear dropped. *Claps hands* I shall now be bankrupting myself to get it enchanted. The spear actually hit caps me-and I didn't think I'd be saying that anytime soon. Through a combo of gems, the Felstalker set + hit rating, a head enchant from the CE, and now this spear, I'm actually 8 over. Woot! And because I'm a curious person I asked Fal to show the damage meter. I'm pleased to report that Wulfa was #1 with Xiliah and Eust following close behind. And *sniff* Boru was 5th! I'm so proud! *wipes tear from eye* The most exciting thing of the evening (apart from the spear) was that I successfully chain trapped. I've been feeling a bit shaky and it was great

Determined.

I'm currently determined to get to 55 on my druid this weekend so I can start doing Ramparts runs for rep. I'm also absolutely certain I will be creating a female dwarf death knight when Wrath comes out if I am still playing WoW at that point and the world hasn't ended.

No-one will let me pay for anything ...

So I know nothing about gems or JC. And I have this helm that needs a meta gem. So I go to my personal wowwiki (i.e. the Sidhe Devils) and start asking questions. Turns out I needed an earthstorm diamond. I write down the mats and figure a couple weeks down the road I'll have assembled everything. And then Kinney whispers me and says that he (dangnabbit-I'm assuming he but I forgot to ask-if I'm wrong please don't take offense) has one and would I like it? Of course I would! And I ask how much he would like for it, and the answer is nothing. That's where the title comes in-nobody lets me pay them. 'Course, I don't take payment either but that's beside the point. And not only did this kind person answer my questions but crafted new and better gems for me. So this is a huge thank you to Kinney who completely blew me away by his generosity and completely made my day. And while I'm on that track, let me also thank Nasirah, who has patiently answered all

Shicam

Shicam is someone I know. He's a fairly bright guy, but very shallow. He had solid grades in school due to his brightness but he never had to study. This became a problem later in life as he hated taking the time to sit with a book and actually work at learning. He wanted people to easily describe things in terms he could quickly grasp. When they wouldn't he would get frustrated and basically stop paying attention. This applies to how he works currently. He is -very- willing to do any task he already knows how to do. And he's also willing to pickup new tasks if they can be easily explained. But anything complex where he has to stop and take a moment to grasp it, and he wants to go do something else. Or he'll procrastinate until he has no other options. The only exception that I know of to this is that if he's really curious about something I've seen him tinker around with it for days until he gets it. But this is really really freakin rare. Usually he

Storytime.

I would like to take a moment to share with you one of my new favorite authors. I've found that I really enjoy her writing style and her characters. Especially Tayt. Her most recent story is here . A list of her stories should be here . The link wasn't working for me this morning. I highly encourage you to go and read it up. Also go lobby for more Tayt stories! Yay Bessie!

This game is getting to me ...

So yesterday I started the quest train to do the Netherwing dailies. If you haven't done them, rest assured that they are incredibly annoying, especially the later ones. I had died 3 times gathering the crystals from the ledge (yes I had track dragonkin on-I just don't watch my tracker all the time). I cleared an area, started over to the crystal to gather it, and some BE swoops in and gets it before me. And I emote spit on him. I was that annoyed. But my reaction surprised me and I hope it doesn't happen again. BFF had a really good suggestion-blow raspberries! Huge thank you to Squirrelz, Nas, Doozie, and Shrinn for helping me down the big bad dude at the end of the quest train. And being an orc is fun! I always said I was an orc in disguise! P.S. So I've been feeling guilty/disappointed in myself all day because of my reaction to the crystal-stealer and decided that I needed to do something really nice for the BE's to make up for it. So, for a few days, anytime I

This was too funny ...

So the Orclette and I were reading Brown Bear Brown Bear this morning and she turns the book over, points at the butt of the bear on the back, and says something that sounds like "What's this?" I reply, "A Big Bear Butt," realize what I said, and then start laughing.

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 sh
