Okay, so that’s a bit of an overstatement. I’m not quite *that* addicted to world of warcraft.

But I am having to find things to do to occupy myself before I have to leave work, and typically, this would be the time for like, fishing, achievement hunting/whoring, and possibly quests. or archaeology, which is my current obsession on warcraft. of secondary professions, it has to be the most involved and take some measure of skill. . I mean, let’s face it. Fishing, really, you cast, you click when it makes a little splash, poof, fish. and cooking or first aid are even less intensive, you gather things, you cook them or turn them into bandages. easy!

With archaeology, you can’t always dig in the same places, and sometimes they’re hard to find, like, it can take a little bit to find pieces. and I haven’t even got the whole thing figured out yet!

Also, I rediscovered that I love Kingdom of Loathing when wow is down. But it should be back up soon, thankfully.

I like grinding. The kind that requires you kill a bunch of things then loot them then skin them. or run around in the same circle twenty times, to get enough copper to make x amount of copper bolts so that your Engineering goes up.

That being said, I actually really dislike skinning and leatherworking. Somewhere along the line, My level and my skinning level got out of sync, so I’m too low a level to skin anything I’m killing on warcrack, and I don’t want to go back all that much. I’ll end up doing it, because I’ll have to. eventually. because I’m an achievement whore.

 

BUT. I’m thinking about changing to something less.. useless now that I can use mail armour.

.. I’m home~

I am also tired and will probably only log in to warcraft to do my daily quests and say hi to people.
Yesterday, I had a conversation with a random person on Nagrand, and explained to him that I’m “sort of” new. In that, I played when it first came out. and then I played again when WOTLK came out. and now I’m doing my Cata run. SORT OF. I intend to stick around for a lot longer this time. Obviously. as I got to L51 on my Trolly hunter last night.

She. is. awesome. AND I HAVE A SPIDER. I’d take a picture, but that would require actually logging on, and I’m doing other things right now. Like attempting to make myself get up and make my bed. which requires booting dogsies off the bed. and moving books, and various other things.

also, I need to change the bulb in my bedside table.

I have nothing to say for myself, either.

Oh. That’s right.  I was telling you about my random friend.. whatever thing.

.. I was explaining to him how I was not new, but that that I was, technically, because I had no rich L85 alts to fund my new character. That I was doing it through donations (which is what most noobs do) and the occasional trivia game with everyone’s favourite rich uncle. (Which, I will point out, has helped me amass 1000 gold, over all)

and then, random person, without warning gave me 100 gold.

I’m like, “But. But. I already have gold.” and he just kind of, gave it to me anyhow.

I AM TOLD that it is my tits that bring me this fortune.

I’ll use it, I guess.

Also, I am going to go make my bed now, and then run my dailys.

Peace and Cherry pies <3

Well, right now. I’m thinking about setting up a world of warcraft blog, so I can write in that and actually be blogging, but I don’t want to give up this one.

Some things to consider, two blogs, plus a real job, plus warcraft time, when I barely keep up on the blog I have in addition to warcraft, kingdom of loathing, talking to N², IRC (which takes up considerable amounts of time, that idling), and the various things I do outside of the internet (i. e. work, read, cook, read, shop, go out with friends, shop, read, work, work, work… I think you get the picture)

So there are now two options. I can have a warcraft category on this blog, and you can just suffer through it, or not read those posts OR I can have two blogs. and currently I’m leaning towards the warcraft on this blog.

Speaking of amusements. there are daily quests (since the advent of .. uh. I’m not sure when they came about. people say they weren’t there before wotlk, but I happen to know that they were around in BC and probably in original release as well. *shrugs*) ANYHOW. I do the cooking and fishing quests on my lowbies and you get a reward for the fishing daily that is entitled “bag of shiny things”

which is why I thought about making a warcraft blog. because how easy would it be to make a bag-of.shiny-things.net

I would be amused.

I, of course, thought about this while I was fishing.. >.> I always have interesting thoughts when I fish.

Like the guild leveling system is fairly askew.

I have two characters on two different servers in two different guilds. One I helped create through an offer of gold (I’m so easily bought) one that I joined on invite from a friend from work.

The one that I helped create is a low level and small and because of the varying levels in the guild, it’s hard to run dungeons to get exp for the guild, so it’s harder to level.

The one that I joined on invite is level 24, and has well over 50 people plus their alts (so like, 214 toons) the variety of levels is just as diverse as in the little guild, but the amount of people in the well-established guild makes it easy for us to run dungeons and because there are so many of us, the amount of exp earned from daily quests and achievements makes a huge difference.

In order to have a successful guild you have to have a combination of people in addition to cooperation.

I love both guilds. I even love my Alliance guild (which has like, me, and LB)

 

In other gaming news, I bought the adapter for my xbox 360 finally, so I can play it on my monitor in like, a week, when everything arrives. I’m hoping it gets here on thursday so I can set it up and play it on Friday (which is my next day off.) because I really want to play halo reach, to be honest. :3 that would be a fun break from wow.

I’ve run out of things to talk about now. and this post seems to have gone on long enough.

I’ven’t posted in a while. That’s pretty normal. I say “Oh, I’ll write every day.” and then I don’t. So typical. I like my blog still, although I may change the theme. Also a normal thing.

I don’t know. I’m kind of annoyed. I got invited to go out with some of my coworkers to see the final Harry Potter film tonight, which, YAY! I like Harry Potter. I have since I was a kid. I’ve read the books in two languages and I’m happy to re-read them anytime I can. This is not an issue, going to the movies.

The issue comes after that. When one of my coworkers comes up to me at 8:30 this morning and says, “Ohey, Did K tell you that we’re going to go out dancing afterwards?”

I made a blank face.

L continued on to say, “Yeah, I thought K had told you. we made up this decision 3 days ago.”

I continued to blank face. and I added a mental elipsis.

No one appears to think, “Oh! Maybe Lexie doesn’t want to go out tonight. Maybe she likes to be home before midnight when she has to get up 6.5 hours later.” So now, I’m probably going to look bad, because I’ll probably be going home earlier than anyone else.

 

Clearly, I suck. Because I’m responsible.

I missed a post yesterday! Even with my blog daily reminder. ): As a… I suppose. apology, I’m only going to leave you with a song today.

I overslept. Plain and simple. I woke up at 5.30, woke up at 8 (and had a glorious orgasm) I’m sorry was that tmi? Get used to it. I have orgasms a lot. and then I fell back asleep until just now. It’s 11:18. In the morning. and I’m just waking up properly. I will probably watch Grey’s Anatomy. I have some episodes to watch over because I was either too tired or just too distracted to pay attention properly.

I don’t have a lot to say today. Work yesterday was pretty good. I was the last evening person cut, and as a result, I picked up a table that tipped me almost 13 dollars, none of it was pennies. I’m always happy when people leave me fairly decent tips. This was above decent, though. This was positively nice. I like these people. I am very good at remembering faces, and theirs I shall remember.
