Two, and three.

And It makes me sad. The chocolate on my pants. Although I don't know if you can really call it chocolate since it came off of a Snicker's Marathon bar. You know, the healthy bar. At least that's what they say. And I choose to believe them. So today a song came on the radio. It's catchy, electronicky, and the girl's voice is a bit gravilly. I like it. But I already know that my taste in music is not sophisticated. My brother has been telling me that for years. And I'm going off on a rabbit trail ..... what surprised me was that Dammy liked it. And started singing it. And decided he had to figure out what the lyrics really were. So he googled it. And I hear him say, in a horrified voice, "It's sung by Hannah Montana! " ROFL. It must be mocked. Join me in lovingly mocking him. My funny story from the bookstore today ties in with yesterday's post. You know, the gross stuff that makes my stomach take a tumble. A customer came up a

So this election is the first year I actually sat down and said... "What do I value". Why did I do this? Because Obama is fascinating. But he's democrat, and it struck me that I had always voted republican because my parents had. So I felt that I had to write out what was valuable to me so that I could vote responsibly for the Person that matched me closest (This wasn't Obama which is unfortunate considering how much I like listening to him speak) . Here are some things I found: 1) Privacy isn't worth very much to me. Knowing someone is reading my email, listening to my phonecalls doesn't bother me, I'm used to people invading my space. 2) the economy isn't normally a concern. I live cheeply(when I was single I consistantly made 5-8k a year) and tend to think "it will work out" about finances. But I do abhor the national debt and income tax(sales or flat tax please!). So I'm against our expensive war overseas and against tax cuts(sales or

Dammy makes my morning coffee the night before. He's a very nice orc. This morning, however, my coffee is really thick. Like European cafe thick. Like the thickness my Flemish grandmother (and yes she really is-speaks the language and everything !! -grins-) adores in her very black coffee. I'm not complaining, mind you. I'm just saying. And it feels as though I'm getting 4 cups for the price of two .... And on to the subject I meant to write about today. I'm 50! Do a happy dance, yeah, do the happy dance. Not me. Beowulfa. And I have the Bestial thingy for me now! So exciting. And track dragonkin. Those trainers are soooo behind the times. I was killing those dragons five levels ago. And I found some good agility mail gear on the AH for not-outrageous prices and I celebrated by buying them. Speaking of gear, I have a question for you leatherworking people .... I went dragonscale because wowwiki said it was best for hunters and because I liked the id

We're done with RFC now. No more. Kapoooshksks! Finished! Last night, I silly pulled and we still easily killed everything. I need to watch the silly-pulling though... just because an area is easy doesn't mean it won't/can't kill you. Much like the other two poxes currently running(black is getting up steam), we're prepping for WC. We ran the oasis quests and Trif's Druid Poison thingy quest. It is mind boggling how easy these mobs(normal level 15-18) seem after RFC. Next wednesday, I think we'll finish up Abuto's rogue quest, finish killing the turtles for the RFC quest and then visit WC to get the two quests at the entrance and start getting a feel for the area. If this happens fast enough we should be able to try and take down Lady Anaconda. The huge number of mobs that sleep you in WC worries me a lot. We have a shaman for Tremor totem but he currently uses earth totems to help mitigate damage... adjusting will be interesting. However I have swipe no

Here is a group setup scenario : My youngest brother has started playing again. He badly wants to party with us. He plays alliance and has about 700g to freely spend on gear and bags and enchants and food for us... so we could focus on leveling up. He has requested we create alts to play with him, and has gone so far as to buy us all 16 slot soulbound bags to start with. The current party set up is as follows: Human/Dwarf Protection Paladin (Youngest brother) Night Elf Resto Druid (wulfa) Night Elf Hunter (Raaksi) You can only add one more person, what would you add? Knowing of course that Dwarves are ugly and humans are ugly. I've narrowed my choices to Night Elf Shadow priest(I want to be the same race as wulfa) and Drenai mage(gnomes are -almost- ugly). Ugly being the point where a race is no longer playable.

Or, should I say, AH flipping expert. Why am I so excited? An item I bought for 5 gold sold for 17. 12 gold profit! Now, some of you higher-lvl peoples are laughing at me right now. You probably make 12 gold selling the junk that drops off of your lvl mobs (do they drop junk? you see, I've never been there ...). I'm still excited. I love seeing the amount of gold we have increase, and then increase some more, and then more .... and I hate spending it. Dammy has to beg, plead, then resort to prostitution to make me part with any monies whatsoever (well, I guess it isn't really prostitution , but more like a favor ) [more like selling your body and mind for enough silver to repair] . And that's why I'm in charge of our WOW finances. His characters are always broke. And might I add that we are both excellently geared and our professions are leveled quite nicely. And we're sitting on top of 400 gold and counting (we're levels 49 and 45). So we'll be in goo

http://www.csmonitor.com/2008/0312/p08s01-comv.html This worries, angers, frustrates me. I was homeschooled the majority of my life. When I was 15 I went to public school for one year to see how it was. I made solid A's and was bored out of my mind. I left, did 6 months of prep work and started working on an associates degree in computer science. I held a 4.0 until my last two semesters. I graduated with a 3.3 gpa at 19. I am an average student who suffers from motivation issues. I think I did fine. I now have comfortable job with banking software. My mother was not teacher certified, and did not have -any- degree. I plan on homeschooling my daughter. This ruling sounds like BS to me and when I think about it I am infuriated. Just needed to get that off my chest.

Make me cry. Really. Putting them in instances guarantee's I won't come back. Scarlet Monastary Graveyard? I'll never see you again. Yer not worth it anymore. I mean... I used to think well hey that will be fun...but you have a ton of annoying non-elite mobs that die like paper. I might as well be farming on the world map solo(way more fun). I feel the same way about the crocodiles and snakes in Wailing Caverns..... WHY ARE THEY THERE. Grr. I guess they exist to make area spells have a reason. Still... bleh. I thouroghly enjoyed partying with slig last night. We were a cheerfully disorganized ball of frenzied steel, lightning and claws. I was sad though that the instance was so much below us. I keep thinking of SM as this level 50 area and its only a level 30-40 area. Uldaman is the same but should be longer and I haven't seen it before....ever. ZulFname looks like crazy fun. Mara looks tedious. Sunken Temple looks scary(thematicly). I plan on visiting all of these so

It almost never happens. Even when Orclette wasn't here to wake me up by patting my face I couldn't sleep in. Holidays were too exciting to waste any of it with unnecessary sleeping. Saturdays and Sundays, well, I work retail. Nuff said. Anyway. We owned SM last night with Slig the handsome tauren. Great fun. And since we had stayed up a bit later than usual for me I wasn't planning on getting up at 4:45 am. So when that alarm went off I turned it off and fell back into blissful slumber. Only to be woken up by Dammy's panicked shout of ""It's almost 8!" So a very fast awakening and off to drive him to work. But ... I gots to sleep in! Back to SM. Parts of it required tiptoeing around the dude that brings all his buddies when you aggro him but the rest of it wasn't a match for our combined awesomeness. And I think Dammy was getting a bit of xp (woot! for being lvl 45 ....) I'm not quite sure what lvl Uldaman is but I'm looking forward to it

We had fun. Messed around. Got me some pants and a belt and a set bonus. Slig showed off his fancy electromancy. Wulfa made with the b.r.k. And at the end. We put on a dance show.

-written by her loving, adoring, very tired mother at rattle-point- 0-2 months It must be remembered that it was VERY comfy in utero. Upon the horrific and unasked-for-by-you expulsion from this abode your objections MUST be made known. The Big People must pay, and pay dearly, for their acts of unkindness towards you. Besides, it is time to start working on your evil and diabolical plan. What is that? you ask? Why, to take over the world, of course. Personally I recommend a bit of crying. Work it in between the multiple rests you MUST take to keep your strength up. A lovely little trick I learned was to pretend to fall asleep only to wake up screaming a few minutes later. The Big People will love it. (gleeful chuckle) 2-4 months Now's the time to exert your dominion over the Big People. Don't worry about their bigger size-you have weapons fit enough to bring them down to size. First up: The Smile. They will be BEGGING you for more. Whip it out sparingly and you w

Slig said hi to us! Hi slig! Great name btw. Oh and I'm Alchemy 238 or some such... after 3 transmutes I've finally worked out that I can only do it once every 24 hrs. I thought maybe my iron bars were broken :p. That was a joke... I'm an Orc not a Troll. It only took me 2 transmutes. GD pointed me at a WoW insider post on lowbie mage gear and got me thinking about how badly I want a water elemental summoning Forsaken clothie! To go along with my NE or Troll hunter mans that I don't have yet. Why Frost? Well because fire is all burny. And I've always thought Ice was cool(in games...I hate the cold in RL). Also I want to make sheep. If I was a shaman totem I would be a dustdevil(Earth/wind) totem. Earth because I'm easily entertained by basic things and I don't require much to keep me happy(much like a rock). Wind because I'm flighty and often skipping back and forth(like the wind). Also I don't like being wet(water) and I&
