Kirjoituskyvyttömyys: Pleasure Your Mate Month

Thu, 04 Sep 2008 10:09:44 GMT

September is Pleasure Your Mate Month. Tell us: how do you like to pleasure your mate?

HEY! Why is this not marked in MY calendar?

I think massages are a great way to pleasure your mate.. ffs, what does mate even mean here?

If this is a dirty question, then I think my matey mate might just know it due to some recent discussion topics and I'd rather not share because it might be icky.

If this is a lesbian question, Sara brought up a threesome between her, myself and Nigella Lawson.

If it's a non-lesbian friendship question, well I hope I have been pleasuring Sara by keeping her up to date with WoW happenings!

If you had to give up one of your five senses, which could you live without?

Ouch. This is a tough one.

Sense of feeling.. I could not lose this one. I mean, to be able to touch and feel, how could I give that up? I love touching things, like in a clothes shop, I love touching different materials. I love touching another person, and to be touched. The sense of feeling, it tells us that we are alive in the first place. If I lost that, life would seem very.. empty.

Without the sense of sight I would be lost. I mean, I have the worst sense of direction ever. And I couldn't see anything. I like looking at things. I am a bit shortsighted, so I don't see that well, but I love seeing. And without the sense of sight I would not be able to play WoW, or watch tv, or see other people.. It would be horrible.

Sense of taste.. I love good tastes. I love cooking and experimenting with it, to create new tastes I would like. I love tasting.. a lot of things. So losing that sense is a no-no.

If I lost my hearing, I would eventually go nuts I think. I mean, it's not an essential sense, I could maybe manage without, but thinking about a completely silent world.. Urk. And I like people's voices, hearing them, I am not willing to give that up. And I couldn't hear Vent! :D

So yeah.. I like smells, good smells, food smells.. I like how people smell (the good smells), how everyone has their own signature scent. But the sense of smell is something I am not constantly using. So if I absolutely had to give one up, smell would be the one to go.

OMG! TRU CALLING!

And why? A million reasons.

So, the deal with Tru Calling.. They made one whole season, it didn't appease the Fox people, but they made six episodes of season 2 as well. But what happened was that the series was left COMPLETELY UNFINISHED!

1. Heellooo? Tru's father was the evil mastermind behind all the counter-Truing and also somehow responsible for her mother's death. This was never explained further, nor did Tru ever find out. HOW CAN THEY LEAVE THIS HANGING??

2. The show didn't suck. It had it's fans. I mean, they showed it in FINLAND, TWICE. So it was an idiot decision to call it quits.

3. The concept, one big plot, but the episodes revolving more around the spesific savee of the episode. It works. It has worked before. X-Files? Buffy the Vampire Slayer? These series, amongst a million others, worked until they started revolving too much around the big plotline. And Tru Calling didn't reach that state yet. So it would have offered us plenty of lovely episodes still.

4. Tru and Jack. OMMMGGG. I was so disappointed nothing really started between those two. I mean, there were sparks! It has worked before (Buffy and Spike, anyone? I mean before their thing went all emo). I would looove to see some good vs. evil action. Oh yeah..

5. Awesome characters! Harrison, Davis. FFS! How can they let this series die? Those guys ROCKED! Also the new "friends of Tru" bunch from the Med school, they seemed cool enough. A good replacement for Lindsay. I would have loved to see more of them.

6. Ah, the med school! Tru never got in, but was listening to the classes and I would have loved to see how this plotline would have ended up. Will she become a doctor one day?

7. Nay and I watched this together and he never watches tv, ever. And he loved this series! So we would need more, so we can watch it together again.

8. - 1 000 000. JUST BRING TRU BACK! Please? :(

Why raiding alliances fail.

Tue, 19 Aug 2008 06:15:18 GMT

Once upon a time, a little guild alliance was created. It was called The Golden Pact, and was made to enhance cross-guild roleplaying. But.. nobody cares about that one anymore. :D

I think it was the Golden Pact that spawned Dawnbreaker. The Silverbrand Cohort had taken "mercenaries" with them to Kara before and now entire guilds could join in. The Vanguard of Valor joined that one too, it was another roleplaying guild, wanting to do some casual raiding, how great is that! And some of our members ended up taking the fast route to Kara, while the Vanguard itself was still gathering forces to be able to go there. The star of "Roleplayers can raid too!" shone bright. So, some of the Vanguard got a nice gear from those Kara runs, as the Cohort was already pretty much farming the instance. And in return, there was suddenly hope for the Cohort to move on to 25-man content, as they originally had lacked the manpower. Some decided not to go to Kara before the Vanguard could do it's first run, but in the end we were not that many. It was very tempting, to go see the place when the opportunity was offered on a silver platter.

And so, the Vanguard got geared up a bit, our lvl 70 base grew and we were able to field several people to fill the long awaited 25-mans. And we learned Gruul together with this Alliance and the victories tasted sweet. And it was not too straining, one raid in two weeks, it was something cool to look forward to and it meddled little with our own guild activities.

The Vanguard was eventually ready to do it's own Kara. Of course, there were now people who had done Kara a million times, "for practice" and had very little to gain, both loot- and new experiece -wise. Meanwhile, the Coh.. I mean, Dawnbreaker, was actively doing Zul'Aman, which provided the Kara-geared people with something new to tackle.

The 25-mans continued, Gruul became easy and we peeked in Maggy's Lair too, it was a bit problematic, but we got him down too. Brenor, the one who arranged the raids, suggested checking out SSC after the attunements were removed and we went in and tried to kill Lurker. I think it took a couple of raid days to finally do that. I think at this point (or probably a lot before, but anyway) he started thinking that while there were some people who could go much further, there were some slowing the progress down. Suddenly it was not just about doing the 25-mans, it was about progressing. I think it was after the Lurker kill, when I received an ingame mail, inviting me to join a new formed raiding alliance, the Darkmoon Rising. Now, this was not a fun raid every two weeks. It was a more hardcore raiding alliance, aiming to raid three days a week and expecting more from it's members. I was really surprised to see the name of one of our officer in the contact list, as I had not heard of this before. Anyway, I politely declined, as I saw this would seriously hurt my time with my own guild and while the one raid in two weeks was do-able, a hardcore raiding plan was not. Also this was not a roleplayer raiding plan, they planned to recruit openly so it would mean it was not an effort for the roleplaying community, but another raiding guild to add to the list of DMF raiding guilds. As I said back then, if I wanted to raid I would join a raiding guild and be done with it. I had very little faith in the whole "oooh, this will not interfere with your guild activities :)" sentiment they had.

Unsurprisingly, the people who had raided with the Cohort a lot in the past, Usva, Bayn and Shinodai, joined this new raiding alliance. The rest said no. At first, later on Torsdan joined in too. They had the best of the best of the Cohort, a couple of our top PvErs and recruited a fair few additions from other guilds. Names escape me, but I think they had people from guilds like.. Prestige? Thanatos? Some of the Kara/ZA doing non-rp guilds on Alliance side. And so the success story of Darkmoon Rising started! They started from where the Dawnbreaker left off, SSC. Ah, it was said that the Dawnbreaker would still exist and I think we did have one or two more Gruul/Maggy runs after the DMR launch, but they quickly ceased to exist. After all, Brenor was the one arranging them and he was now deeply involved with the DMR. Also most of the Cohort raiding core was now in DMR and simply had no time for extra raids. See, the "three days a week" raiding plan was not all they had. Hey, you have a neat group of well geared and -skilled people, so why not do heroic runs, Kara and ZA with them as well? Also they had these test out runs for new members in ZA.

And what happened then? Well, guess what? It did interfere with the activities in the people's own guilds. We started seeing the people taking part in our activities less and less. RP events became an annoyance for some, they were often already saved in an instance or simply too worn out for all the raiding with the DMR to take part in our raiding. And heroics? Well, why do them with the noobs when you can go out with the cool people. This was not all of them, but still. It created a split. The people didn't quite feel like they "belong" anymore, and we didn't really know these people anymore as they did nothing with the rest of us. Lore night? Nah, they would rather farm primals. Usva left eventually. Which was not a big surprise, although it was saddening to me personally. Even though she had been "lost" for a long time now, we had started to play this game together. And now, yesterday, Bayn finally left the guild as well. Also something I had expected to happen sooner or later. You just wonder, if the people spend 90 % of their time doing stuff with another guild, or a guild alliance, what is keeping them in this one? I always said they would eventually leave. And they did.

So! We have Shino, who actually does make some sort of effort to still be a part of the Vanguard. And Tors had to quit DMR alltogether and has now spent his time with us, hopefully feeling more a part of the Vanguard again.

So how exactly do raid alliances fail? I mean, DMR just downed Kael, they are doing just great! Well.. Perhaps the Dawnbreaker could have worked out. But raiding.. It always tempts people. Always. If they notice they have skills, they can suddenly feel frustrated from not "moving on" in this game. After all, getting to the endgame is one of the goals one can have in this game. So I think from the start of Dawnbreaker we were kinda doomed. There were bound to be people who wanted to go further. DMR, it was a surprise but it was not a COMPLETE surprise. And when it was launched, I knew that it would draw some people away from us. Which is okay. It is their choice, they pay for their gametime, everyone can have their own goals in this game. I just wish they knew just how much it did hurt some people who did care about them. The Vanguard has always been a family guild, we genuinely care about our members. So "losing" them, in one way or another, I know it hurts those who care the most. Yeah, QQ. I, personally, have been rather unaffected at the final leaving point. First somes disappointment and sadness. The comes anger. And then, you simply stop caring. And I did. Behind all of that is understanding. Hey, people have goals. People find new friends. It happens. I just wish it wouldn't have to go like this.

FFS, yes, the failing part. I just don't see this idea working with a guild like the Vanguard. It is a raiding guild. I wish they would just admit it. If it was an Alliance, it would be 50/50. Not 90 - 100/0 - 10.

The funny thing is, that due to this the Cohort died. The Vanguard was, in the end, affected very little.

But! The Vanguard is not a complete bunch of noobs either. We progress, with our own pace, that leaves enough room for the roleplaying and casual grouping for instances. We downed the Lynx boss in ZA last week and I was so goddamn proud of us. Jon is a wonderful raid leader too, he never yells or gets mad at us. He always takes the blame, which actually, in my opinion, is far more effective than the blame game. If you screw up, and someone else is saying it was their fault, gosh, you never want to do the mistake again. And he has the patience of a.. well actually, he has the patience of a Jonathyn, because he must be the most patient being in the world. But also to me, raiding is not the ultimate goal of the game. I play to have fun, to socialise (lol), to be with my guild and my friends. So the raiding progress is just a teeeny bit of the huuuge cake of WoW I enjoy. When we raid, I'm not focused on loot or the idea of progress in itself. It's just.. downing a new boss in ZA, clearing Kara in record time, it makes me proud, of myself and my friends. Having a kickass RP event, it makes me proud, of myself and my friends. And I love that feeling.

The point of this blog? Well, it's good to get all these thoughts out. And review the history for the dear readers who do not know all this. And somehow I feel that now, I don't really have to feel so negative about DMR anymore. It's now such a little part of the Vanguard. So I write this down here and hope I don't have to think about any of this anymore. Bygones.

Well! Last summer, around.. June I think, Nay wanted to reroll. And first I was going to stay on DMF, and he said that he wouldn't go before I was ready to go with him or would at least wait for a bit. Anyway, the idea seemed more intriguing and suddenly I found myself playing an undead mage, Azona, named after a finnish anti-depressant drug. Weeks went by and I found new buddies, Nay was still there of course and Melons, who came from DMF as well. And with friends, comes nicknames. They called me Azzy. And then one day, Nay and I decided to make blogs because.. erm, help me with this one Nay? I think it was a joke, because blogs were always so emo. So my blogname became emoazzy.

FUCK YEAH ARENA!

Thu, 14 Aug 2008 07:24:06 GMT

http://eu.wowarmory.com/team-info.xml?r=Darkmoon+Faire&ts=2&t=EPARPLEH&select=EPARPLEH

So! Sunday evening, we had a short Karazhan Clear-Up and Nay and I had nothing to do. So what do we do? Make an ARENA TEAM! Well, this was not a completely new idea, back when Kriain and Nessa were questing together, we were talking about making an arena team when they hit 70. But never got around to do it. So this time, I suggested we'd use the teleport from Shatty to Tanaris and just get it done and check it out. And so we did. Funniest thing is, that we decided to go with Nayrie and Nessa. You know.. a resto shaman.. a disc/holy priest.. Two PvE healers. And on that first night, I think we got owned a lot. We weren't that familiar with the Arena, my only experience was with the short-lived Vanguard 5 vs 5 team, so we were noobing around a lot. Still, it was exciting enough to keep us up until 2 am my time. Then I had to retreat to bed, as I had work the next day. But then! Monday! I was having Tuesday off, because it was Nay's birthday (<3). So after our evening Zul'Aman (and I think a bit before that as well) we got back to the Arena. And we kicked ass! Well, kicked ass, and got our ass kicked. But we learned new tricks, we got more familiar with the different arena environments and started getting the hang of it. And it was fun! So we played pretty much all night long (until 4 am) and continued the next day, as I woke up. We got up to 1520 rating at some point I think, but then got dropped back to 1390-ish in the evening, which was a bummer as the points would be calculated the next day. But no worries, yesterday it seems we were matched up with people closer to our rating and we kicked serious ass. This week's stats, 7 wins, 3 losses. I am curious to find out where we will end up now!

Who are we?
EPARPLEH!
Who do we hate?
DRUUUUIDS!

Yes, out of all the opposing combos, I think 2 x rogue and ANY team with a resto druid is something that is almost impossible to beat. ANY druid is a pita, as are mortal strike warriors. Anything else we can usually handle. And last night.. Oh God.. it felt so good. Our last match of the day.. Frost mage + resto druid. FUCK! we both thought. So we try to get the druid down, but that is fucking impossible and the goddamn mage keeps frostbolting our asses. After about 10 minutes of playing cat and mouse with the druid while outhealing mage damage, we switched tactics and went for the mage. I was annoying her with running around her, so while she was casting I moved behind her and she didn't get any spells off. But then we let her hit us, to drain her mana. And soon we had a helpless, manaless mage to handle. And surprisingly our healer dps actually outdamaged the druid's heals. So suddenly the mage was lying dead on the ground. I ran behind a pillar, out of combat, to regen mana, while Nay kept the druid busy with melee. Then, when I had full mana, we started slowly draining him down. It is hard, to kill a resto druid, they can heal themselves full with the tiniest amounts of mana. But in the end, we got him down. And killing a resto druid, our arch nemesis.. It was glorious!

Mmm..

You are allowed to place three items from your lifetime into a box that will be opened in fifty years. What do you put in, and why?

Submitted By jesusbandaids

View 500 Answers

Well, as Sara said, this is a rather unclear question. But I will play this like I had to put three things in a box, so some unknown person would learn about me, opening that. And I will also think what I would like to see, if I was the person opening the box of another person.

1. A picture of me. Yes, sounds stupid, but really, if you find something that belonged to someone in the past, would you not like to see what they looked like? So I would put in a nice picture of myself. Perhaps a picture where I would be with the people important to me, and write in the back who they were.

2. Well, this is tricky. I don't know if there still would be internet after 50 years, or computers like we know them, but anyway. I would either put in a note with all my usernames and passwords to various sites, that is actually how that person would learn the most about me, seeing my "internet trail" and read private messages I've sent and received. What I was interested in, who were the people in my life and what did I do. Ffs, almost forgot the "or". Or my harddrive, containing a lot of pictures, screenshots, random crap, saved messages and such. It'd be a big mystery box for someone to snoop through.

3. For the last item, I would put in some sort of favourite item. Perhaps a cooking tool or something kitchen related. I have a lot of tiny items in the kitchen that have belonged to my mother in the past and I remember having them all through my childhood. So even though they are just items, they are little bits that make any living place feel like home. Of course I could not let go of these items just like that, so that is why it's hard to say which one I'd use.

Easy. I would go to the cookie shelf and empty that of all of my favourite cookies. Then I would make my way to the candy shelf and get a lot of chocolate and other favourite candies of mine. The ice cream shelf is right next to it, so probably grab some of those too. If on the way I saw something expensive I'd always wanted to try, I'd grab that as well.

I am just thinking the supermarket closest to me and what is expensive there AND what would not go bad quickly and it would have to be something I won't get bored of. So cookies, candies and perhaps ice cream. I would also hog a huge pile of chewing gum. OMG! AND CAKE! Nay, I would totally get the cake!

Thu, 17 Jul 2008 07:07:34 GMT

I have to say, my WoW calendar has been REALLY busy for the past couple of weeks. We've had at least one or two RP events, then a couple of heroic runs, Kara, a two-day ZA.. This week we are having a two-day Kara. Today we have a Tonk fight thingy. Tomorrow the rest of our Kara. Saturday surprisingly is free, but sunday is ZA day. I've been feeling a wee bit tired in the mornings, due to being up until 1 am and having to get up at 7 am to go to work. But! I have the stamina and I can have powernaps.

I told you about ZA already, but let's talk about RP a little. We have an interesting little RP storyline going on, started from Gnomeregan and it will end up somewhere in the Blackrock Mountain. Sara has been the mastermind behind it all, but we have had awesome participation by the others too. So last week, we explored the ruins of Thaurissan and goddammit that was awesome. Bruanson did an ace performance, being a half Dark Iron, and when we picked up the relics that "tell the story of what happened", people did amazing RP around that too, some were very shocked about the flashbacks and so on.

<3 I love my guild and my guildmates.

Yesterday, Nay and I got our Warhorses, having dinged 30 the previous day. Having the 60 % ground mount at 30 is just.. <3. After some RIDING around and questing, it was Kara time and Nay came as Nayrie this time, so we were the healing duo. And goddammit we play well together. He helped me when shit hit the fan during my tank healing, I helped him when shit hit the fan with raid healing, no wipes and only seven deaths in total, four of them being myself. :D And I liked that we had a lot of people who need a lot of Kara gear still, we had Mooki, Levian, Kylima, Waltfeld, Saukendar and Nymroth, along with the regulars, being Taleen, Halus, myself and Nay. Well, I think Nym counts as kind of a regular too, being our current offtank for Kara. We had loads of fun, Halus was on a roll when it came to telling jokes over Vent, we had a funny crew and it was very relaxed and cool. And I only had to shard like.. three things I think. And we got THREE trash-dropped epics. I wonder if they upped the droprate with the patch.

I'm just happy it's weekend soon and I can sleep late!

Ow, real life news, I did a Good Deed™ on tuesday and donated blood! Most annoying thing was the wait, it took like an hour before I was actually lying on the (death)bed, having my blood sucked out. But they had nice catering there, so I didn't mind too much. My blood was apparently slow, the bag filled very slowly and I had to keep pressing bandage rolls on my hand. So it was really jobby! After they had a full bag I was to lie down 5 minutes, I did, exactly 5 mins and then got up as I was in a rush. Maybe not so smart, as I did feel a bit woozy, but I got home soon enough and then it was fine. Also my left arm was kinda numb, but got better during the evening. And now I feel good as new! Hopefully my blood is of use to someone in need.

Short.

Vanguard ventured to it's first ZA raids this thursday and friday. Thursday, we downed bear boss and did some good tries on the next one. Friday, nailed Eagle after a few tries, practiced Dragonhawk. And I was even healing the latter day on my Nessa, she just heals everywhere, poor thing, with her weird spec and inferior gear!

Tomorrow we have a Kara raid with the BB and then on sunday probably our own run. It's nice to have both Slash and Nessa, to alternate with.

Now I'm really really tired.

Ow, and Nay got the coolest helm from the Eagle boss.

I think for me the best thing is that I don't really worry about the future all that much. To me it seems life has a way of steering me in the right direction, so I just hang on and enjoy the ride. Sure, sometimes I do have to do something to accomplish it, but still, I feel that I just can't go wrong. So when it comes to my life, I don't have huge expectations other than to live a life I am happy with. So I am doing just that, day by day and seeing how it turns out.

When it comes to the future of my world? If that means the planet thingy we live on.. Well I think during my lifetime it will still be okay, at least my little Finland will be. But I doubt we see that many future generations if the world keeps going in the direction it is going now.

Ow, so the hope thing.. I think for me the hope thing is that I -know- everything will always turn out right eventually, no matter what.

It's been a while!

Hmm.. so what has been happening in the world (of Warcraft) lately?

Well, the paladins, I've really enjoyed playing those two! While in Ashenvale, we even bumped into Lyaes from our guild and had some RP, very pleasant experience and I think I like RPing the nice little paladin duo. Nay and I have worked on a cool backstory too, so I feel really good about this little project. And ofcourse, paladins are cool and nothing can kill us. We even had a PvP experience, we were trying to kill a lvl 30 mob (being 22 ourselves) in a horde camp when a lvl 27 belf rogue appeared to gank us at low health. Well.. she and the fishing trainer did succeed. I wish it was a PvP server, so we could have had our revenge. But it was still fun, Darkmoon Faire needs more world PvP!

Vanguard Kara has been fun, we've had a nice bunch of people there every time and I especially have to mention Leoj, who just cracks me up every time. We also did a Karazhan run yesterday, with some other RP guild(s) and it was okay, but I do prefer our own bunch. But, the evening was successful, Nay got a sexy new chain healing totem thingy! That was awesome. And I finally did something with the pile of Badges I had and bought myself a cool new belt.

We finally had a Dawnbreaker Gruul/Maggy and that was.. well it was fun, although there was slight noobing around in the air. But I was happy Eddyboy and Wiralna got spots AND also loot. And I like those fights. I just hope the Darkmoon Rising people weren't too annoyed, I would like to see these lite-version runs of the 25-mans continuing. And hey, it's a chance to say OH HAI TEVA!

Taleen's tanking paladin had conveniently reached lvl 60+ so first we did some instances with me healing as shadow on my Nessa. I noticed I kinda liked healing and played with the thought of speccing to a more healing-type of build and.. I did it! And waaaw, I've had so much fun with it! I seem to have infinite mana and both Sara and Kriain love my little Power Infusion buff. And it has been doing those good old mid-60 instances again, with the people we used to do them back in the day, I've really enjoyed that. And healing, as it's something.. different!

Last but definitely not least.. We had an IMBA RP event last week. Sara was the mastermind behind it, Nay and I have been assisting and that was just.. WAW! I enjoyed every second of it! We had this mission, to find some information in Gnomeregan. No, we did not just do an IC instance run. Actually, our aim was to kill as little as possible while inside. No bosses were killed. The catch was the whole.. theme. I really FELT like a rogue and I could sense the excitement in the air. It was really really good. And we are going to continue these things. Seriously, the best idea ever!

I am also working on a little treasure hunt event of my own this week together with Nay, that will hopefully also be cool, even though it is just a tiny little fun event.

If you had to pick a time period to live in, which would you choose? Why?

View 500 Answers

It would be interesting to live in the very beginning of humankind. You know, cave people and such. When everything was still very primitive. It would be time for inventions and survival and very very different from modern day. It would probably suck badly, but still.. it would be an interesting experience. We know so little about those times in the end.

So, I like the current world and I would never switch it for another time period, but if I was offered a sneak peek, I would choose this. I think because I have a very fascinating (and probably very untruthful) vision of those times because of this woman: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_M._Auel.

Also living in Finland during the late 1800s or early 1900s. When my grandparents were little. Life was very simple back then and I love listening to my mother tell about her childhood and stories she has heard from others.

What animal frightens you most, and why?

View 500 Answers

I would say big dogs. I feel uncomfortable around big dogs, or even smaller ones, if they are the kind that jumps and/or growls and shows teeth and perhaps bites a little. I like some dog races though, but I am always very.. aware of dogs. Like once I was visiting these people who had three huuuge Great Danes and even though they were really nice and tame, I felt a bit uncomfortable there.

This all probably leads to my childhood, my aunt's dog attacked me when I was little. I remember very little of that, I was like 4 or 5, but I think that has left this uneasiness around dogs.

Mudskunks, all of you.

Long time no update. So I'll write something down.

We found a good use for our new fishing skills. We have now killed the Zul'Gurub fishable boss twice, our aim is to get the Tome of Polymorph: Turtle for Sara. Our first team was Hasnain, Sara, Nay, Catscratch and my Nessaja, the second team had Gnollen instead of Hasnain. That has been really fun, I like ZG, it looks really nice and the people have been cool. And it is fishing skills put to use as well, as Sara needs to fish Mudskunks for the lure. Last time we also wondered what else we could 5-man and after the tome farming that raptor mount could be fun. It's droprate is like one in a million, but who cares!

The Vanguard has got a lot of new recruits and our past events have had a HUGE turnout. At the Dwarven Lore Event last night I counted.. at least 22 people. 18 of which were from the Vanguard. And these people have been really good, I absolutely love some of the newer vanguardians!

We've had more Jon-led Karazhan runs and they have been successful, newcomers have got some nice loot and we've downed Nightbane, Aran and Illhoof, only Netherspite and Prince survived and that was only because we were running out of time.

Nay and I rolled paladins, which will be prot and holy. We've had some good times, questing in Teldrassil and now Darkshore, slaying heretics (non-squirrel critters) as we go.

So WoW life has been really good. In real life I moved last week and I have now gotten used to my new apartment. My main computer has failed me and that is pretty much the only thing that sucks at the moment. I am working on to fix it though and my "spare" computer is not really that bad so I can play WoW and do my other internets stuff.

What do you do EVERY day to take care of the earth's environment? What could you do more of?

View 500 Answers

Well.. I try my best not to cause any extra strain on poor old earth. I separate my rubbish, I recycle what can be recycled with relative ease (paper, metal, glass, batteries..). I don't drive a car to work, I use a bike. I try not to waste too much water. I try not to waste too much paper. Basically I try to do what I can to ease the ecological footprint I leave.

I do use a lot of electricity due to being a WoW addict. In general I do save electricity too, at least in comparison to other people I know. I don't leave the lights on if I don't need them in that particular room. Computer and TV are only on if I use them. I fill the washing machine properly rather than wash laundry every day. I rarely use the dishwasher.

Little things, but I hope they matter.

We had the most fun Karazhan run this sunday! Bayn was lagging badly, so we had to change the team a bit, Halus was suddenly the main tank/raid leader, poor retri-Leoj was appointed as the offtank and we picked up a totally unprepared Jarek to fill Bayn's spot. So we had a new raid leader, a less experienced group and we jumped in. And it was perfect. Halus was hilarious as raid leader, he did explain strategies, but in this non-serious way. Attumen was about beating the horse, I think it was.. Moroes, who was "not our friend". And she told Taleen to shut it several times, as the "raid leader was speaking". :D

We also had the Big Bad Wolf as the Opera event, I had never experienced it before so that was funny. Most of our Red Riding Hoods faced an untimely death, but I got bubbled and ran and ran as fast as my little legs could carry me and I SURVIVED! Yay!

Most of the loot was huntard loot, Taleen got something, Jaiyda got something and also Jarek got something, which was nice as he's still wearing like greens and quest rewards.

We wiped a couple of times on Moroes and once at Maiden, but that was not bad at all. This was almost exactly like I would have wanted our first Kara runs to be. A lot of experimenting and then.. success! I was so proud of our team, we did well and it also showed we're not completely dependant on Bayn, in case he is devoured by the new raid alliance project.

Saturday was a slow WoW day, as I had stuff to do in the morning/afternoon and Nay had stuff to do in the evening. We played our lock and s-priest, perhaps we will finally get around to level those two properly. They are seriously an overpowered combo! I played alone in the evening, leveled my little huntress and got her a pet. A wolf, I named her Nayrie. On sunday morning Nayrie met.. Nayrie.. and they had some wolf lovin'. I wasn't jealous, Nay on Nay is okay.

On friday we celebrated Sara's birthday and that was.. I would say IMBA! We played some twink games first, then went on Alliance side to fish. We found a very nice fishing spot in Feralas. We also had nice chats while fishing and played this nice little socialising game, at least I had a good time. Then we had a small break and then tried hunting for cyber, but unfortunately that wasn't so successful. I was still happy with the day and I hope Sara and Nay were too.

God I love my no-life. <3
