Two, and three.

To bob the goat, who suggested the use of the Uncle Trinket in addition to all the excellent tips in The Tanking Guide (dammy will you link all these? I almost figured out how but then it got all wacko on me ...) Orclette's uncle has consented to be a trinket, although he probably would want a month-cooldown. We're going to see Prince Caspian tomorrow. I'm soooo excited =)

So on Tuesday[the time of me writing this post] I was asking on twitter which class I should play when I got home and while 99% of everyone said hunter.... Anna piped up with "Hunter if you want fast. Shaman if you want awesome." I have to agree. Even on my lagdeath of a comp(which my brother says just needs a system wipe, a video card, some ram, a new monitor, and a new harddrive to fix) Shaman's are the awesome. It's just hard to compete with Windfury(aka Awesome), Ghost Wolf(aka Awesome), Chain Awesome(comes now in two flavors), free mana(aka Shield of Awesome and Shamanistic Awesome), Totems(because the size does matter and they are awesome), Bloodlust, oh and Astral Awesome. And thats just the beginning. I poked around with my Orc Shaman a bit last night after becoming frustrated with typing lag in guild chat. Typing lag is when your keyboard accepts presses but the screen doesn't show anything happening until 5 min later. On DammShaman I don't have a

Ooooh I likes the vodka. I had too much of it last night. Or at least I think I did. I'm very susceptible to suggestion. Case in point: my brother and I took communion once at our Catholic grandmother's church. They give you the real deal, no mamsy-pansy stuff for them. And I'm serious when I tell you that both of use had severe headaches and felt a little woozy. My grandmother, tough love person that she is, told us to knock it off-there was no way that little bit of wine could get us buzzed. And I think she's correct, but I certainly felt drunk that day. Anyway, we had You-Won't-Be-Single-For-Long Vodka Cream Pasta (Rachel Ray-well, what can I say? She's AWESOME.). Firstly, I was excited that I actually pulled the sauce off and didn't burn it. Secondly, it got rave reviews. Thirdly, I started worrying that I hadn't cooked it long enough, that there was alcohol still in the sauce ... and hence I had too much vodka. Brain kicks in, I start feeling wobbly

Yay for Word-Things . The Bear at his best . Seriously his stories are gold. If I was making more characters this series would have been diamond. As it was I had to settle for the adjective "awesome". Megan shows one of the many reasons why I'm not good at pvp . Lassirra of Hunters Mark is and has been my hero for some time now. 750+ agi oh my! I agree with Matt . Epic is numberless. Sides Arthas isn't the most powerful guy anyways. We all know that would be that druid NE guy who's lost dreaming. Sonovar you should deffinitly blog. People put up with my junk all the time, people are nice and helpful, ignore the ones that aren't. As for finding time and all that. it just happens. I want to know the answer to this as well. You have to. Trackhoof took the time out of kill trash mobs to talk to a n00b shaman. I feel like taking the time to link him! I'd have more , but calls are started coming in. Adios and word-things for the win.

This is also a test. The link How many times do you need to rewrite something for it to be written correctly? I do not know. I do know that I need to work more on getting my work done before browsing the internet. I feel like I spend 75% of my time browsing. I need to correct this. Currently all of my work is research and it frustrates me. I need to finish off the GL0100 CWR and get all of my work done faster so that I can ask for more. Letting the work fill the time allotted is not a good thing. Also I need to be taking time to socialize with my co-workers. I am a recluse at the office. I spend all of my time in my cubicle and none of it talking with the people I work with. This is not good as the majority of promotions come as a result of talking to and listening to people I would say. Work is 25% but socializing is 75%. All of my percents are made up I know. This is an excersize in writing. Actually it is more of a journaling process. Writing down my thoughts as fast

"Good writing depends on maintaining positive attitudes about the project and about yourself as a writer ." Until recently I viewed having a good attitude as something that was optional in my life and annoying in others. My mother would often try to get me to cheer up and think positively and I would for the most part ignore her. "Thinking positively" seemed a naive approach to something as serious as life. Shockingly, when I started researching how to improve my work and other aspects of my life I ran into a single glaring fact. Every author I have read without exception has pointed to maintaining a positive attitude as a major step to success. And now when I Google how to improve my writing.... I find the link above. Slowly, but steadily I am now eroding away at the mistaken belief that my outlook has little affect on my life. I -will- prevail. Also, as an added bonus this article was only written with one misspelling on the first draft. This is a small and ve

Hey, it could've happened! Especially if the moms who don't normally drink decide a glass of wine would be appropriate. We went to the Olive Garden. Oh wait-back up. I was going to tell you the ENTIRE mother's day story. MY present had already been given to me. A white/green bookbag from B&N. If you're in the market for a stylish, durable bag that will also make anyone looking at you think you're smart because you read books, this bag is for you. I LOVE it. Anyway, that was bought awhile ago. So I said I didn't want anything this Mother's Day. And I read somewhere that husbands, if they value their lives, would do well to ignore their wives when they say that. I thought to myself, "I'm not one of those women! I really don't want anything ...." So I wake up Sunday morning, log on to WOW. "Happy Mother's Day" pops up in guild chat. Oh right, it's the big day. Hmm. I wonder if Dammy has a surprise waiting

I don't know how school was for the vast majority of you out there. Heck I don't know what it was like for the minority. For me it was fairly easy. I learned what I needed to pass tests and write reports and did so with ease. Schoolwork was stripped down to mini-games of find the answer. And now I sit in 'real life' staring at 'work' and wondering why 'just finding the answer' doesn't work as well as it used to. To advance, to make it to the top, you don't 'just find the answer' faster than others. You spend your time finding out why. You spend your time finding the right questions. You delve into how things work, not just which buttons you need to press. You answer your boss' question and then ask insightful ones of your own. You dig and research and develop tools to make digging and researching easier in the future. Its incredibly frustrating to me. I feel like a backyard dog that is used to simple games of fetch being tran
