I was hoping to be able to transfer my Priest over to Ghostlands tonight. But it was a no go; I didn’t get to the bank in time to put the extra cash in my account so I couldn’t pay for it. I know, I’m lame *throws tomato at self* Bah! Boo! Hiss! Maybe Monday lol.

I feel kind of accomplished this week. I got the new front page up and even though it still needs some tweaking it doesn’t look like total shit which is awesome. It was quite a feat making everything look even REMOTELY how I wanted it to. Joomla was being a bitch, so I had to throw down *tough look* I also got my new guilds forums up and running, woot woot!

I plan on hitting 40 this weekend with Baellatrix. She’s sitting at 37.5 right now haha. So I don’t have much farther to go. I didn’t really play much yesterday or today. I hopped on today to turn in the quest for some blue robe that looks pretty nifty. But other than that, I didn’t do much. I was busy watching scary flicks with the hubby.

Anywho, I’m actually gonna try to squeeze some time in now, maybe see if I can’t make the push to 38 tonight at least. The hubby is sleeping (and snoring I might add) so I think I’ve got at least a solid hour or so. *cracks knuckles* Time to get to work ;)

HOLY HELL I’M BACK! And damn does it feel good! I was going crazy not having my site. Our server got fried and I’ve been down for about 2 months now. But I’m back and in a blogging mood so look out people!

 

Rob and I made toons over on the Ghostlands server because right now I’m SO sick of Turalyon. I have a couple good friends there but I just can’t stand playing there anymore. I can never find good groups. So many of the people I find there have either bought their accounts and don’t know how to play… or are 14 year old boys that once they find out I’m a girl lose their heads and turn to mush. *sigh*

I made a Warlock, Baellatrix. I named her after Rob’s pally on our other server, Baell. She’s Affliction so far. More than likely gonna stay that way. I likey the DPS. I liked my other Warlock that I had (also Affliction) (currently sitting on Duskwood at lvl 42) so I decided to make another one. Rob made a hunter, Rofocale, since he’s never had one past lvl 10, which is sad because lvl 10 is when it all starts for a hunter lol. He’s lvl 37, I’m lvl 33 (will be at least 35-36 by the end of the night). We found a nice guild there… let’s hope this one lasts.

<Sovereign> has nice people. A large handful of 70’s and loads of 60’s working their way up the food chain. The guild has proven to be totally member oriented (i.e. making sure everyone has mats for skilling up, always getting groups together for quests, instances, etc.). I’ve noticed that the higher lvls and 70’s really don’t mind taking time out of their day to help lowbies with things or to donate items. That’s something you don’t see every day. I’m leveling up in chanting on this toon and someone asked if anyone needed stuff out of the guild bank. I told them I’d take any lower lvl chanting mats if they weren’t needed. The next day my inbox was bombed with mails with mats lol. My bank alt has so much crap that needs to get donated to the bank it’s not even funny. Like 2 bags full of stuff lol. I keep forgetting to do that *makes mental note* But so far there’s been no issues in that guild. Good sense of humor and helpfulness =) I likes.

Anywho, I’ve got some more server crap to deal with. My other sites are still down and I’m not too happy about that. So I suppose that this is all for now. I’m sure there will be yet another blog at some point today/tonight.

 

Cheers,

My confessions:

I play WoW with my husband… I’ve beaten him to 70 (Horde side) twice. But on our Alliance toons, I let him 70 first. I stopped 3 bars short, so he could ding first. *sigh*

My mage is specc’d Spellcloth. When people mail me mats to make Spellcloth, I’ll make the 2 peices and send them one and sell the other. Unless they ask me if I’m specc’d, then I say yes and give them both.

I almost never give a damn about threat unless it’s a boss fight. Most of the time, I’m playing my priest, so I just heal myself. But on my mage, I make the healer work twice as hard =)

When I play my husband’s toon… I have to re-arrange his bags. I’m hardcore OCD when it comes to clean and neat bags in WoW. I sort all his food, pots, bandages, quest items, things to AH and whatever else, into seperate bags. I do the same with mine.

I try to do every single quest in every zone when I level my toons. But I always skip instances until later levels… I hate them with a passion.

I hate playing with other players just to do quests. So if someone asks me to "group up for a quest" I always say no.

So my stint with <Rendition> was short lived and big fucking waste of my time. The guild master, a 15 year old, whiney, tight assed sumbitch, decided I didn’t need to be there because a friend of mine and me were calling him out on his bullshit… well mostly a friend of mine lol. Basically he was saying our guild shouldn’t run Mag’s anymore because none of the guildies need loot from there, which is bull. 1) A lot of guildies still needed loot 2) Free badges and loot for 25 minutes of “work” (*laughs ass off* cause work, it ain’t) it’s pretty damned nice. But he insisted that we drop it. Then he started talking about Gruul’s, “Oh no one needs anything from there either, blah blah blah.” But yet we ended up going and he told the raid over vent, “Only reason we’re in here is so I can get my Dagerspine Trophy.” He said it jokingly, but if you were to see how he acted at other times, you’d know he was speaking truth.

He basically didn’t want to go anywhere unless is had loot HE needed/wanted. Quite a few people agreed. A guild master isn’t supposed to use his guild in order to gear himself alone. A GM is supposed to go where the GUILDIES need to go, because you are only as strong as your weakest link… and in order to NOT have weak links, you go where your guildies need loot, whether or not you need loot there or not. I remember way back before Burning Crusade I was the Co-GM of a guild that was clearing MC and BWL, but we still did places like DM, Strat and Scholo because we had guildies that needed loot from there or had quests to do there. That’s just what you do when you’re a guild leader. You’re guildies come first, hands down.

So after the raid in Gruul’s, we were all in guild chat talking about what an idiot the GM was basically. And I got kicked out for agreeing with people and saying he WAS a selfish prick. My friend left shortly after because she didn’t want to put up with anymore of their crap. I don’t blame her.

So enough of my rant. On to the good stuff. I’d like to give a shout out to Belzenef from <Exilium> for making my Belt of The Long Road for me! Thanks Belz! I gemmed it up with a Royal Nightseye and a Luminous Noble Topaz. My unbuffed healing is at 1798. Woot woot. Just gotta work on somehow getting up to 10k mana unbuffed… Dunno how… I’ll work it out somehow. Have any ideas Thur?

Anywho, enough for now. Ta!

So Rob and I joined the guild <Rendition> a couple weeks ago and things have been going pretty smoothly. They are just starting out with 25 mans pretty much. This past week in SCC, we downed Lurker (1st attempt we wiped, 2nd fucked him good) and Leo. Leo was a pain in the ass sumbitch that took us some learnin’. But we finally pulled our shit together and kicked his ass, too. It was my first time ever downing Leo, so I was pretty happy about that

Other than raiding, Needlles and I seem to fit in rather well. There are a bunch of like minded, perverted sickos in the guild so we fit right in *winks* Come to find out a couple of our friends are in the guild as well, I about wet my panties when I saw that Ziph was in the guild. He was in CT with us since we killed that stupid Blacktalon fuck in Hellfire. And even better news! He got married!! Woot woot go Ziph! His wifey is also in the guild with us!

Overall, I’m pretty happy about joining up with these guys (and a couple gals). I will say that their organization with raids and such needs some work. But the GM was apparently just handed the reins of the guild and didn’t really know what to do. So it’s a learning experience for all us, I suppose. Their doing a good job. We definately made some progress in SSC this week and it was awesome. Keep up the good work guys!

 

Cheers!

There are some stupid people in the game. I mean it’s a given with any game really… or anything in life. People are just stupid and don’t have common sense *sigh* So I was sitting in Orgimmar searching the AH for Dreamfoil because I needed to make some Adept’s Elixirs. There were 3 single pieces and a stack of 5. The singles were 1.25, 1.30 and 1.37g. The stack of 5 was 5g even. So I put in trade channel, “Looking for [Dreamfoil] LOTS of it. Paying 1g per.” I figured that was fair since the stack of 5 was 5g. I mean 20g for a stack of damned Dreamfoil is more than fair. At least in my opinion. Anyway, so someone responds to me and asks me to pay 100g for 90 pieces. I basically said, no, that’s more than 1g per and that’s all I’m willing to pay. I told I’m pay him 90g and that was it. He said he wasn’t sure. So I waited a bit and asked him if he was ok with that and if not let me know so I can find some somewhere else. He said he was, just give him a minute. So I waited… and waited… aaaaaand waited. WTF. I finally messaged him back and said, “Well we got a deal or not?” and he said, “I decided to keep it for when I level up my alchemy.” I had the strongest urge to say, “Well Jesus tap dancing Christ you fuckwad! Why didn’t you just say that in first place instead of fiddle-dickin’ around?” But, I really wasn’t in the mood to get reported tonight *sigh* Asshat. So, to sum it all up, I hate people sometimes. Yes, Greg, only sometimes… bastards. *shakes head*

Wii-men (Women)

So apparently this Sunday, certain Best Buys will be hosting this “Wii For Women” event. I guess they are trying to appeal to the female gaming community or maybe just trying to gather more females to spend money on their overpriced games? I dunno. But, despite the fact that I don’t really like Best Buy, it sounds like fun. It sounds like a neato idea *shrug* I don’t know if the one near us is doing it or not. I should look into that =)

If any of you gals end up going to one, please let me know what it was like and how it was ;)

Do you ever start doing something in the game and you just really get in the groove and completely lose track of time? Today I was lying on my bed with my lap top on my tummy farming herbs while watching some much missed digital cable haha. Since I’ve gotten my epic mount on Amedeah (the Horde Priest) farming has become oh-so-easy and I don’t mind it so much anymore. So today I went out and decided to start from Hellfire and work my way to Terokkar, then to Zangar, then to BEM and finally over to Netherstorm. I filled 2 20 slot herb bags JAM PACKED FULL of herbs and motes lol. I didn’t expect to gather that many, quite honestly.

I had been waiting until 3pm to call my admissions advisor at OCA (Orlando Culinary Academy) to reschedule my appointment. I was almost back around to Area 52 when all the sudden I shot up like a bullet and said (in a rather loud voice), “OH FUCK ME!!!!! WHAT TIME IS IT!!!???!!!” Yeeeaaaaaah, my dog barked at me, which totally made me laugh, actually, out loud. He looked concerned for a moment before laying is 15lb head back down on the bed. With the appointment rescheduled, I went back on my merry way gathering more herbs lol.

It kinda pisses me that I’ve still only made ONE friggin’ discovery in Alchemy. I mean COME ON! I’ve made THOUSANDS of potions… I so totally lost count, it’s not even funny. And I’ve made ONE freaking discovery. I think Blizz secretly hates me… bastards. Anyway…

I felt the urge to blog about… “something,” so I did and there it is. Good night.

5 Man Fun

Patch 2.4 is live and I’ve been having “fun” in the Magister’s Terrace. On patch day, we (Rob, Matt, Tony and myself) found a rogue to group up with and take a chance at the new 5 man instance on the Isle of Quel’Danas. We did relatively well for never stepping foot in there before. We got up to the first boss with no deaths (easy feat) and we had cleared the first room and were all staring Selin Fireheart in the face. We were all set to go, the tank charged in… and I got locked out of the room haha. I had no idea that we all needed to be in the room. Yes, I know, I’m a nub *hangs head in shame* They at least got him down to 15% without me in there haha, I was impressed =) I rezzed everyone up and we down him with no problems. We got to Vexallus and lost one person, but otherwise it  was a good fight. We moved into the next rooms to start clearing to Priestess Delrissa. Then a Server Restart was announced. We were able to clear up into Delrissa’s room but ended up wiping right before the restart. We agreed to just end it and try the next day.

I had a few mixed groups here and there that tried to clear the place but I had zero luck with that. We always got stuck on Vex cause he’s a douche bag. All my groups ended there. I was always dying because of that stupid dot that gets put on you. I still haven’t figured out how that fight works. But last night we ended up kicking his ass anyway and moving on… finally. With thanks to Lanfearr, Phian and Peiyotee, Rob and I were finally able to get the head of Kael’thas Sunstrider to unlock Heroic mode! I also got the Cord of Reconstruction. Which is AWESOME since I was still wearing some crappy green, I was so embarassed to still ahve that stupid belt. Woot! Thanks a mil guys (and gal)! I’m so happy to finally have that done lol. Now I suppose it’s time to work on the new dailies. *sigh*

So today is the big 2.4 patch that we have all been waiting for. I’m rather excited. I’ll be logging on to my Priest to head over to the new quest hub. I plan on making the trip with Rob (who is working from home today) and our good friend Matt. Hopefully it’s all it’s cracked up to be. We might try to get a group together for the new 5 man as well; we’ll see how that pans out.

My rogue hit 61 like 2 nights ago. I moved into Zangar Marsh woot! The hubby’s been doing a good job at keeping up with me haha. I still haven’t really learned how to play a Rogue in an instance. So I need to get some experience under my belt. I mean I get the gist and all that. Shoulnd’t be too hard.

In other non-WoW related news, I’m going back to school in May and I’m so fucking excited I can’t even think about anything else haha. I decided to go to culinary school for the Baking and Patisserie program at Orlando Culinary Academy. I start May 19. I went to financial aid workshop thingy last night to get some initial paperwork done. We’re gonna be paying outta pocket for some of the stuff, but that’s ok, what are rich husbands for *winks*

Anywho, I just wanted to drop a quick line. I really should update more often. I’ll kick myself later for it ;) Cheers!
