WoW Chix

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.

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!

Rob and I were walking through Best Buy while looking for a Blue Ray player and I came across this.

I couldn’t help but giggle. I mean, hey, that’s great that they are helping Alzheimer’s patients and stuff, but it’s still funny. It’s very clever though. Two thumbs way way up for SanDisk!

Limeonade hit 50 a couple days ago. I’m rather happy with the way I’m progressing. I went from 40 to 50 in about a week. Her Leather Working is at 250, Lock Picking at 170, Skinning at 300 (duh). Her gear is pretty decent. Mostly crafted stuff with a few drops/purchased items. That’s not bad considering all the stuff that’s been going on around here. A friend of mine moved in with us and is staying the guest room. We rearranged the whole house to make room *shrug* I love having her here though *winks*

Anywho, so I’m in this guild that is made up of people that my hubby works with (among a couple other random people we picked up along the way) and our friend Matt (from Turalyon). There is hardly ever more than 5 people on at a time. But I do like that everyone knows everyone on a first name basis and that we all get along rather well. It just makes me wonder what’s gonna happen when we all hit 70 and are ready for Kara… what are we gonna do then? I dunno about that yet.

So since I’m only at 170 Lock Picking and I should be at 225 for my level, I’ve been running around trying to gather Worn Lockboxes and finding footlockers to have my way with haha. I’ve got a bank FULL of Sturdy Lockboxes and those should get me to at least 225… if not 250. I’ve also gotta gather some more Rugged Leather to make a few things to lvl up to 265 so that I can make myself some more armor I’m in need of some upgrades.

I absolutely LOVE having Riposte and Blad Blury. I don’t know I ever lived without it! I recently respecc’d so that I could have them. I gotta tell ya, Blade Flury has totally saved my life quite a few times. Just awesome, AWESOME!

I’m gonna need to use Rob’s pally to mine for ore so that I can make some money from the AH. I am in DIRE need of gold like whoa! I need new weapons and training is getting expensive and I’ve got like… 10g on me right now =( How horrible is that? Pretty horrible, I say. So horray for farming, grinding and leveling shit. Woot.

Oh in other, totally non-related news, I got a French manicure today and I got my toes painted this bold, bright blue that matches the ball in my labret *cheers* Yay for pretty fingers and toes!! Huzzah!

Ok, that’s all *giggles*

I thought these were kinda cute. Print em out, cut em out, and give em out to your WoWentine!

Gee it’s been a while since I’ve updated. I didn’t realize how long it’d been. My Gnome Rogue, Limeonade, is now lvl 24 (very close to 25 even). She should have been at least 30 by now but I’ve had other stuff going on. I’m specc’ing her Combat. Seems to working out ok so far. I pretty much know nothing about Rogues at all so I’m going by Rob’s guidance since he has a 50 Rogue. Also, Matt, a friend from Turalyon, is able to give me all the tips and tricks as he has a 70 Rogue.

The guild I’m in now is made up of Rob’s co-workers haha. It’s kind of funny. They made their own little guild. Only think that sucks is that no one is on during the day when I am… they are all at work =( So there’s not really anyone to talk to or anything. But I’ve always liked being in the same guild as Rob *shrug*

As for my Horde toons, I haven’t really logged on them very much in the last month. The guild that my toons were in decided to kick me out because I hadn’t played in a while. *shrug* So the fuck what. No big loss. Not like they were progressing anyway. That and the fact that Rob and I were always stuck on the back burner and ignored half the time kind of made it so that I don’t really give a damn. Ok enough of my bitching

I’m working on the new front page for the site. It’s not quite finished, so it’s not live yet. I’ll post an update when it’s about ready. The writer’s for the site have started to sign up and get their material ready. I know that one of them even has a blog site here on WoWChix.com. I guess I’m going to need a Blog Roll link somewhere now. I’ll get to it… at some point

*Jesster*

Ok, so I broke down and spent some money that I shouldn’t have on yet another T-shirt. My favorite place to buy t-shirts has been J!nx for the past, I dunno, 2 years or so. Mainly because it’s one of the few places that a fat kid like me can get cute WoW shirts that actually fit and are comfortable. Anway…

I’ve been reading the WoW forums a lot, and all I see is a lot of “QQ” and “REPORTED” being plastered all over the place. Not to mention in live play as well. I think all the “reported” shit is just… well… shit. I mean every single 12 year old out there playing WoW thinks it’s the cool thing to do to scream and shout “reported” all over the place.

So I was browsing through J!nx (as I do probably on a daily basis to see what else I can spend money on haha) and I happened on upon this T-shirt:

I laughed out loud at my finding this with perfect timing haha. So I ordered one last night and it should be here either Wednesday or Thursday. *squeals with delight* Can’t wait. I’m retarded, yes, I know, shut up.

In other news, my WoW time ran out this morning *cries* I guess I’m gonna go pick up a game card or something this week *whines* I MISS MY LIMONADE!!! She’s so cute with the green eyes and the blue hair and the tiny little jiggly butt. Ok, ok, I’m done. *giggle*

Cheers,

Jess

It is SO good to be back in my own home and with my own things and around my babies (my 3 kitties and my doggy) and in my own office in my own leather recliner. *sigh of relief* I love my home haha.

I’ve been a busy little beaver since I’ve been home. Working on my jewelry site, making new stuff for the winter carnival and buying all the things I need to get my table set up tomorrow has kept me busy. I’m a little nervous, what if no one likes my stuff? What people scoff and laugh because my stuff sucks balls? *psssh* Fuck that, my shit rocks and I know it *whew* I’m gonna kick ass tomorrow and make some mad cash…. *whimpers* I hope.

Anyway, in actual WoW news, (or at least in MY WoW news) for some odd reason I had an urge to make an Alliance character. My hubby has some friends at work that play on the Alliance side of Muradin, so he made a character there and I decided I would make one, too. I gotta say, my little gnome Rogue, Limeonade (with green hair of course), kicks some ass. She’s only level 7. But I didn’t realize that I would like playing her so much. I do have a lvl 41 Nelf Hunter, but I have never had the desire to go back and play her. I really like playing Limeonade, even though I hate the lower lvls, I can see myself playing her more often. I know that right now, Greg is mentally kicking me in the shin and cursing me for not playing my priest more. Let me explain how I feel about WoW right now:

I love WoW. I love WoW probably a lot more than a girl should love a video game. It makes me happy. If I’m stressed about RL shit, I can log onto my fantasy world and play my little people and make them do what I want them to do. I don’t have to do anything I don’t want to. But lately, I find myself not logging on… because, I feel so stuck with my Priest. I’m so pressured to do anything and everything. Raid this, gear that, rep here, and grind there. For the most part, when I play Amedeah, I’m sitting around doing nothing. No one wants to get a group together for anything I need because they are all off doing their own thing. No big deal though, I can always go grind my Netherwing Rep… which is pretty much all there is for me to do unless I get a group for badges. I’m tired of people telling me what to do on my Priest. I love my priest, a lot. I’ve spent so much time on her. Same goes for my mage, but I feel the same with her. There is only so much I can do on my own.

My guild is nice and all. But a lot of them are rather hypocritical and/or condescending.  Don’t get me wrong, there have been times (like when I first joined) where people made time to help me out with things, go on runs with me, whatever. But now, I can say something in guild chat and I’m ignored. *pssh* Whatever. I’m not the only one it happens to either. I’ve seen other people get ignored or completely looked over. So many times I’ve been told, “Oh Ame, just let me know what you need and I’m there,” or “Hey, just let me know where you need a run through and I’ll go.” But when it comes down to it, I can’t count on any of them *sigh* I’ve gone way outta my way, spent MY gold and MY time to help others. Even if it wasn’t on some big scale. But I’ve sat through many a raid with my raging headaches and my even worse back pain… just because they were short a healer… even though I had only planned to be on for 20 minutes or so. Bah. Whatever.

TBH, only a few people come to mind when I think about those that have helped in me in the game. My hubby, of course, has been the biggest help to me. I can’t even put into words how much. I wouldn’t even still be playing if it weren’t for him. Helel (Matt) has always helped whenever needed, was always down for a run. Shadowlife (Tony) was the same. These two were in my first guild, Crimson Tears. We just kinda stuck together after that. And then of course there’s Thurlarn/Peiyotee (Greg). A smartass to say the least (it’s part of his charm haha), but has never said no to helping when he can.

It’s kind of funny really, Rent to Pwn, that I joined with my Shaman right before Christmas, has been more supportive and is always offering to help with whatever I need. I’m always sure to get a good bunch of laughs and I always feel good while playing with those guys (and girls!). I’m not trying to bash the guild that Amedeah is in. Not by any means at all. I’m just saying that I feel more comfortable and appreciated and… I dunno… wanted. I feel like when I log into Amedeah’s guild, no one gives a damn. But when I log on to Koos or Thread, everyone says hi and what not.

I don’t think I want to try and raid right now. It’s just not working out with my current schedule. And I find it really boring anyway. It’s not worth all the gold I spend on pots, food, etc, only to die a million times because people don’t know what they are doing (and won’t listen to those that do). Right now, I’m happy logging on to Koos and doing a few quests here and there and now, possibly playing my gnome a little more. We’ll see how things pan out. But raiding just isn’t an option for me right now.

*Note* I really don’t want anyone in FL that might be reading this right now to get the wrong idea. I don’t dislike the guild or anyone in it. I just don’t feel that FL’s plans are for me, at least not at this time. If they wish to remove me from the guild, that’s ok by me. I would like to remain in the guild with Amedeah, but if the GM’s feel that I shouldn’t be there, ok then. I’m not trying to bitch about it or anything like that. I just wanted to make that note.

Ok *deep breath* enough of my whining about WoW for tonight. I still have things I need to get done to get ready for tomorrow morning. I have to be at Violet’s school by around 11am I think, possibly even a little earlier. We’ll see how things go.

Cheers,

Jesster

My little vacation is going well, I guess. I’ve gotten to eat some hella good food (people of the South always have good food) and spend more time with the hubby’s family (which isn’t all that bad). Only thing I would have changed would be having more time to have been able to spend on the site. I did get the writer forums up and running for those that will be submitting content to both sites. But other than that, nothing has really been done.

We are leaving really early tomorrow morning so that we can by home in time for Violet to go to bed early enough for school Thursday morning. I wish I would be able to work on the sites on Thursday and Friday, but because of that Winter Festival thing at Vi’s school, I have to spend those 2 days getting ready (i.e. shopping for mats to make the jewelry that I’m gonna be selling there and actually making the jewelry.) Then on Sunday, I plan to just hang around with Vi and Robby most of the day lounging around watching movies and playing XBOX and what not. So Monday will be my “back to work” day haha.

I did have the chance to log onto my hunter a couple times since I’ve been up here. I didn’t have much time but I worked hard with what time I had and I was able to gain a half a level, so now I’m half way to 63. Yeehaw. The poor Belf is still running around on a normal speed mount haha. I don’t think she will have the money to get her Epic any time soon. When I try to farm for money I just get so ticked at the game and decided to stop. Though all the money that I HAVE farmed on Ame has gone into her enchant that she’s saving up. *sigh* Enough of my bitching about the game now haha.

I’ll try to squeeze in another post before the end of the week. See you guys later!

Hey gals (and guys)! We are currently working on making a new theme work with the site. I like it quite a bit, but there are some "quirks" that I need to work out so please bear with us and we’ll get it looking shiny in no time! Thanks to the help of my handy hubby, it will go a lot quicker than it would if it was just me working on it, I assure you lol. If you have any idea’s of what you’d like to see on the page, please feel free to email me with any comments, questions or whatever you can think of
