On Guilds.

Let me talk for a moment about fantastic guilds and guildies.

Here is a short list of exactly what I want from a guild:

1) The ability to come and go without being kicked from the guild.
2) Friendly guild members who chat with me even though I'm not there raiding/pugging with them every week.
3) Green guild chat. Possibly full of crazy people who think that the time is completely different from what it actually is(US mountain time).

Here is what I get from my guild:

1) Boo. The guy is always on. Always responds to my blathering. And he's pissed.... all the time... and I mean all five meanings of the word. Pick a few... he's always at least two meanings.******

2) Ruune. She's like the salt in the stew right? The not quite good that makes everything good? The Aussie who abuses you and doesn't know how to spell dammy(She thinks its spelled "Susan"). Yeah... gotta have shammies or whatever she currently plays around.

3) Jess and Mr. Jess. Jess talks almost as much as I do. Mr. Jess said something on channel last week I'm pretty sure.

4) Nas and Blu. They've been "close internet" friends since the old days in that guild we were once in. They check up on us more than anyone online I think.

5) Other than possibly Bar who is another toddler parent like us and we swap stories regularly.

6) Oh right and I almost forgot Fay our guild leader who is ALWAYS on and always giving info. I ask about 6-7 questions a night on guild channel. He consistently answers them right off. And I tell him he can't be right. And he gets on his alt and flies over and /point's at the guy I said didn't exist. And I tell him that oh hey he is right.

7) And book and ollie and jonty and night and kinni(who thinks he's an orc)...and twice and push and fel and beldandy and hattie the dps queen and wet and malcik.....the list goes on... I'm certain I forgot someone.

The point in this... is these guys always are friendly and welcoming even when we disappear for a few months at a time due to real life. Our guild is like a favorite pub where everyone knows you. You go away on business or due to sickness or visiting family? And when you come back the pub is still there... the guys are still there and they all wave and invite you over to their table.
That's what I want from a guild and my guild gives it to me. And the beginning of a new year is a great time to think about all the good things you have been given and be thankful for them.

So thank you Parallel of Kael'thas.

*****This is confusing to those people who actually pay attention in class. Book not Boo is always pissed. Sorry Boo. Sorry Book. The freakin "k" is confusing.

Woo! Yay us! (And by "us" I mean both the Blu/Nas team and Parallel as a whole.)

However, just jumping back a couple post . . . you can't just up and change your kids' names just because you don't play orcs anymore. I MAY be able to get on board with Miniwolf, but Wolflette just isn't going to work. She's Orclette. Sorry.

@Charleen: You know, I felt the same way. I can do Miniwolf, but can't do Wolflette.

I have been away from WoW for awhile now, and that guild is one of the things I miss most. It was one of the best guilds I have ever been in. Great people for sure. I hope I can get my computer up and running again so I can come back.

Speaking of swapping Toddler Stories...

Got Toddlebar Bolt and How to Train Your Dragon for Christmas per your recommendation. He loved Bolt on the plane trip to St. Louis. He hasn't finished it, yet. How to Train Your Dragon is next... after I can peel him away from Toy Story 3!

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...

For the Empress and the Motherland

I finally got the gluing done after getting generic brand normal freakin original superglue. Gorilla glue foams and takes 30 min to dry. The guy at hobby lobby obviously misunderstood me or was a complete retard. I'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt seeing as he was dealing with me in full on manic state. So I'm really excited about my new hobby and cannot wait to start priming and painting. For those that play I'm planning on playing mostly with pIrusk to start but eventually fessing up the money for a jack heavy Karchev list. Because jacks are awesome and -nearly- jack warcasters are also awesome. Anyways thats what Dammy is up to. Our blog has wavered a lot in focus from its origional WoW roots but that is life. Right now I'm kinda interested in Cata but not a lot. Without a surplus of interest from Wulfa I'm very unlikely to return to the game. School kicks up next week. Cannot wait. Even with books being as expensive as they are(and yes th...
