Updates on my excitingly timid life

Hey so I just heard that the Hand of A’dal title is still available if you were on the last part of the quest when 3.02 hit!  ZOMG!!!  Now I just have to find a raid that will take me……..

…which might not be that difficult!!  Ever since the patch hit, I’ve been having amazing luck pugging T5+ raids!  And what’s more, I’ve gone farther with these pugs than I’d ever gone with a guild!  I’ve now completely cleared TK (Kael’thas was cake!  Cake!), got Archimonde down to 65%, and *ahem* cleared 8/9 bosses in Black Temple.  Seeing Illidan for the first time was a bit of a surprise (he’s a lot shorter in person ain’t he?), but still very exhilarating.  You know I always felt sorry for poor Illy… he ain’t evil at all, just misunderstood & really he was the one that got wronged by everyone!  Locked up for so long and all he wanted to do was save his people…  I feel your pain Danny…

xD  Right so anyway, I gotta tell ya, the BT fights were soooo fun.  I especially had a blast during the Bloodboil, Reliquary & Illidari Council fights.  Mother Shahraz- not so much.  Wutta beach!

I almost feel though that we sped through it all so fast & easily that I didn’t get the chance to thoroughly understand the fights.  I used to be really diligent about preparing for new fights by studying strats and watching videos and all that, but I admit those days have passed and lately I’ve just been lazily winging it.  Mostly cos I don’t expect to raid and when I do get in a T6 pug it’s always a random chance opportunity.  To make up for it I listen really hard when the pug leaders explain the fights instead of zoning out (maybe it’s because they’ve explained it so many times, but it often seems that when raidleaders go into Explanation mode their voices automatically go into a deadpan monotone, causing the listeners to go into Math-class-after-lunch-period mode).  Despite it all, I guess I did okay… the only time I notably messed up was in the Mother Shahraz fight (there was a thunderstorm and I got disconnected during the explanation and they didn’t wait for me to log back in before pulling!  Note all the petulant italics expressing my acute displeasure.  QQQQQQQ!!!!). 

Anyway!  So that’s what’s been going on in my life.  My WoW life, anyway.  IRL, hmm you know who’s been kinda sorta insinuating himself into my head these days?  Biggie!  You might’ve noticed his being mentioned here and there in my blog before, but although we’re acquainted in real life (I think I’ve known him distantly since about third grade!), we actually only got to really know each other and became good friends through WoW lol.  Lately he’s taken to texting me constantly throughout the day, and today he kinda-sorta asked me to hang out on Halloween (“Okay how about this. If u don’t feel like going crazy and u have no plans, lets hang out then.”).  Actually I was invited to a couple of parties but I hadn’t planned on going, since I have stuff to do the next morning (I get tired easily these days… another sign of my aging, alas).  But!  Um.  I dunno… I guess I’m nervous.  So I think I’ll go out to one of the parties after all!!  Hehe. 

I had a friend who once admonished me, “I hate girls who play mind games!  Just be straight!”  It jarred me.  I never thought I was playing games… is this a game?  I just get nervous & sometimes I don’t know what I really want, myself.  I don’t want to hang out with Biggie alone.  The party doesn’t sound too bad, and I like dressing up in costumes anyway… Yea this is just an excuse.  I’d probably have fun at the party but I couldn’t really care less if I skipped it.  I dunno.  I really just kinda was thinking about staying home & playing WoW… I dunno what Biggie would wanna do if we “hung out”…
