BOREDOM = leveling an alt

Guild didn't need me to raid today (much to my relief, I am pretty tired and distracted anyway) but at least I got time to level my shaman to level 50.

Missing another raid week...

So instead of me worrying about trying to get to raid on time (since I am going to be working some odd hours) and just raiding this week in general, I decided to post on my guild's forums that I am bailing out of raiding this week and start my vacation (from WoW) a week early.

I'll probably be playing my alt if I have some down time (or when I need a break from cleaning the house). I highly doubt it but hey, one can wish right?

I am going to bail out of this blog til I come back... unless I decide to update or something. I hope I can create some way to get internet access in Hawaii by connecting two coconuts with a string...

So it's been one hectic month...

So much went on and I don't think I have enough brain cells right now to really process EVERYTHING that's been going on. Work has been hell, my life has been hell... I AM TIRED. I usually don't pass out til 2 AM, but recently I've been ready to hit my head against the pillow before it's even 11. Am I just getting old or is it my body saying you need that vacation ASAP?

And I can't even have my me!time (AKA play WoW) because I am soo tired to even raid and not do anything stupid. I am so scared of causing a wipe. They're better off not having me than me wasting everyone's time because I can't concentrate.

I have some shift change at work this week and I have to clean the house up before I go on vacation. Then I have to make all these calls to my Houston people to make sure they are going to make sure no motherfucker is going to steal anything from our house and then I need to call my Hawaii people to make sure they know that we're coming. If only people would answer voicemails, my life would be so much easier.

And a year later...

Call of the Grand Crusade (10 player) We did it all out of boredom. Heh heh. What can I say, my boys are nuts... and drunk /sigh

In all seriousness, around this time last year (as far as I can remember) I would kill to even be in a 10-man TOGC group. I KNEW my last guild only wanted me there cause they needed me, but when they have their core crew I'm out of the picture.

No doubt, I was a far more aggressive player back then than I am now. If anything, I'm too much of a slacker nowadays, it worries me that I am not as into the game as I once was. My dedication to my current guild wasn't any different to my previous ones.

But I am a better guildie now than I was back then. I was a self-centered, egotistical overachiever. I don't talk to officers about how I felt or where I stand on certain topics. Of course, I was usually shut down before I even let out an idea or a concern. But I was a ticking bomb, I just let everything bottled in and relied on impulse on what I should do next.

I say I was reborn the day I transferred to Arygos (Server). New server = fresh start. No old enemies that would bash me on the recruitment forums. No people pre-disposed of thinking that I suck when they've only seen me raid on a laggy laptop when I was leveling. No people inclined in getting rid of me or making my raid experience a living hell because of something minuscule I said in the past.

I have been in at least 5 raiding guilds. But all of them combined don't even add up to how much I like my present guild. Here, I'm humbled to say the least. I actually have to fight for my raid spot even though I am a raider rank. I can talk to the officers about my problems, in and out of the game. I actually trust my Guildmaster (no one tell him that please, he already has a big enough head as it is!) will not fuck me over.

It must be the Green Apple soda and vodka talking at this point... but it's sad when I think about it: I have NEVER been in a guild for more than 7 months tops. That's a scary fact. Of course, I WAS in the Hydraxis fail!server... And I am breaking personal records here in Methodical. Almost a year in October. OH YEAH!!!

Cheers to Methodical. Love you fuckers and I am soo gonna miss you sons of bitches during my vacation. Live long and prosper! (Why did I have to watch the Star Trek movie while writing this?)

OK I ain't gonna lie. I've neglected to update the blog this week. Had to much going on in between raiding and RL shitz.

Anyways, the week wasn't that bad. Nothing I needed dropped, except for one which I thought was only a slight upgrade and I'm better off watching people fight over. I am going to be gone for weeks and I should really just save my DKP for now.

Halion on Heroic was hell, as usual. I don't have anything else to say about that damn dragon.

GLORY OF THE ICECROWN RAIDER BABY!

I've had a rough day today. Too many errands to run and my bf's mom talked me into making some Origami centerpieces for her party on Saturday. 60 paper flower, 10 vases. GAAAH!

I didn't even plan on logging in today but I got tired of looking at colorful origami paper (can you blame me?!) and logged on my Shaman alt. Good thing I have stalkers(?) for guildies. They found me and psted me to log.

I think it cost me 200Gs for 3 glyphs and another 50 for a re-spec. Oh well, SOOOO worth it cause I got Rewards Reins of the Icebound Frostbrood Vanquisher cause it is HAWT!

Keeping My Sanity

Now's probably the best time for me to ask for some *ME* time. With all the phone calls I had to make, the people I have to synchronize my life with, the errands I have to run and all the timetables I need to get organized... it's taken a toll on my sanity FFS. I hate to be an insensitive bitch and say, this is all going to be over in a week, but hey, that's really wishful thinking.

Being today the 2nd day of raiding, the guild had already downed 8/12 bosses last night but they brought me in for Sindragossa. Someone's read my mind (or my blog?) and knew I had been wanting that Off-hand. Well, Sundial of Eternal Dusk (Heroic) is mine, YAY!

Since I am back to practically zero (spent another 160 DKP), I don't think I should be thinking about trying to outbid people for gear anymore. Gotta remember to get my weekly DKP turn-ins sent so I wont be sitting on such low DKP when I get back. Not to mention remember to send them out when I'm on vacation. I am going to be missing 3 weeks worth of raiding after all. (That's 30 DKP, but still!) Gonna get as much gear as I can though, cause knowing WoW I will NEVER see half this shit ever again if I let the opportunity pass. BLEH.

MIA for a week or so.

Writing this message to my guildies (who probably forgot to read the guild's forums) and to the void who might just reading this blog...

I'm sad to report that my gramma (I called her Maman) had passed away this morning. Unfortunately, times are so tough that I can't even afford to help send my mother abroad to see my grandmother's funeral but I will be helping her with finances and planning for what to do next. I will be completely distracted this whole week, and most likely the next week as well. I will be updating old posts that I haven't been able to publish during the next few days on my free time, just so I can keep my sanity.

Just letting you guys know.
