World of Warcraft

Or is that War"CRACK"? I have been so addicted to this damn game, it's just sick. We got the game back around Halloween. My first character, a female Night Elf Hunter, I got up to about level 30. I did not know about the way many others feel about Night Elves. I never dreamed that our server(Kael'thas), as well as most others, would be flooded with Legolas "wannabe's". I personally took my inspiration for the Elf from Elfquest, the comics I have been reading for many years. But, after awhile, and after we finally bought another game and another account, my husband wanted me to roll a Horde character to run along with him and his buddies. So I rolled a female Tauren Druid. Kickingbird-ya know, like the Medicine Man in "Dances With Wolves". (Standswithafist did not fit in the name choice!).

So now, he(Hookemhorns, Tauren Hunter) is level 50 and I am level 49. And I have about a dozen alts, just to be able to check out all the other races and classes. I love my druid. And I keep rerolling druid on alts. And I think if and when we reroll on a PvP server, I will be a Druid.

Anyway, for the most part I hate any PvP interaction. I hate BGs, cos I suck at them. I hate instances, unless it is only my husband and I running one alone, many levels below us. I hate dealing with other people in the game, because I've dealt with far too many jerkoffs. If it could be a "home game" like Diablo II was, but it isn't and it is damn fun and addicting. I don't need to be in MegaGuild so that we can run all the endgame instances and get all the Ubergear-I don't give a crap about that stuff. I just want to have fun. Being a druid, after hitting about lvl 45, I started getting whispers left and right to be the healer in such and such dungeon. Nope, not gonna do it(aside from being specced Feral!), so I turned off my whispers. I have an "/em is ignoring you" emote. Anywho....I actually spent most of the day today working on my website, cleaning the kitchen, and it is not even Tuesday!! (and only WoW players will get that one)

Well, it is almost 3pm, and hubby will be home soon. He sold a Headsplitter for 20gold last night, and his Big Iron Fishing Pole for 15g(my idea, thank you very much). Ooh, gotta save for that Uber or Epic or whatever the hell mount at lvl 60. Whatever.

Yeah, I'm back

Just a note to say that I can hardly believe it has been six months since the storm. I still cry when I hear stories or see photos about the Coast. Anxious to go back and visit. Sick of hearing about New Orleans, want to hear more people realize that Mississippi was far more devastated. I still have nightmares at times about visiting just weeks after the storm. I am glad my family has moved to another state. My heart goes out to those who are still there and are dealing with this on a daily basis. I couldn't do it.
