We didn't have enough people sign up. I went ahead and finalized it with what we have. If we can find people tomorrow great. If not, we can try for Sunday maybe. I'm fine with either.

Today's my 10 year wedding anniversary, so i'm outtie to hang with my hubby for a bit.

Later!

For those of you now into wow on my f-list, you can ignore this cause it will likely be jibberish. But I'm having one of those days, so...

Ok, I'm been playing wow for two years now. I can hardly believe how much time I have sunk into this game lol. I've taken breaks, but somehow I always come back. I admit it, I am truly addicted. It's sad, but WoW is harder to quit than caffine or cigarettes. Seriously. If you are not hooked, don't start :P (But if you do, let me know and we can do a Refer a friend lol)

Anyway.

After two years, I have played ever class a little (although I've never gotten a warrior past like 15 or a rogue past about 25). I have leveled two priests to 80, as well as a mage, a paladin, and a druid. I have a hunter (who was my first 70 back when that was the level cap) sitting at 78. I have another druid at like 60. And a lock (my baby toon) who's now 57. Sad, right? I think I have something like 140 combined played days. And that doesn't count the toons I deleted along the way. Which are quite a few, and some of them in the 30s.

See what I mean? Addiction.

Anyway.

Somewhere in the process, just like in fan fic, you make friends and then both move in other directions.

So today, I was going through some of the people I've loved and lost on www.wowheros.com

And you know what? A lot of the people I respected as knowing so much/being ubergeared gods? DOn't seem that way now. Oh, some do. But a lot of them, I'm as geared as them.

Now, I can't help but be curious as to why this is. I know they raid more, and more hardcore, than I do. Is it really the way they've changed badge gear? It almost has to be.

Then that brings me to question 2. Is this a good thing? I'm still not sure. Part of me says yes. It certainly has been for me! I could never have geared up all of the above 80s (and they aren't all 'geared' but they are all acceptably geared for instances and heroics and naxx) without badges. But at the same time, there is something to be said for looking at a toon on the armory and seeing them in all purples and knowing that they're all drops.

I think.

Thoughts?

Ok. This is worthy of failblog.

Note not only the placement of the 'trigger' but also where you fill the water gun...

Why is it that Tuesdays always make me want to play WoW? Is it because I know I can't? I totally want to get another level on my baby-shammy and I can't cause it's TUESDAY and the servers are down for maintenance. gar.

Ok, this is just me being a dork, but it struck me as odd and didn't make sense.

1) Celine's father built the prison and was killed for it by Vicktor when Celine was an adult (or as old as she looks in the movies, yes/yes??).

2) Sonya is wearing the key around her neck in the RIse of the Lycan's and in the first movie, which Lucien takes off her corpse and wears around his neck.

3) When Celine starts digging about history, it sounds like it's ancient history long before her time and no one knows about how the war started.

How is that possible? How could it be ancient history if the necklace/key was being worn? Doesn't that imply it's in the same time give or take as her own childhood?

Becaue I was going to say maybe the necklace became a key later, but then how did Victor get it back from Lucien and Lucien get it back from Victor??

See the problem?

Or am I missing something?

Ok, so the shammy is currently enhancement. And that's fine at level 25 or so. But I hate melee. It took me leveling a pally to 71 to realize that it doesn't get all that much different. Granted, the shammy isn't too bad because I can tag them so they come to me, beat on them for awhile, then if they run away, shock them. But it's still not what I want to do when I hit instances. Actually, that's where it changes. I don't mind melee to solo grind. I hate it in instances.

So.

At what level is it feasible to switch to elemental? And I'm thinking about buying heirloom shoulders to level her faster. Would buying the elemental ones be feasible now, even if she's enhancement until what? at least 40? Maybe OL? Or should I just suck it up and buy the enhancement shoulders?

So, I noticed that I haven't actually posted anything here in an age and a half.  Some of you probably don't even remember me.  But there is something about siting here in a class and wanting to sleep that makes me think LIVEJOURNAL  UPDATE!!!!

So.  Here I am.

I was up really really late last night.  Found a friend online that I hadn't talked to in a few months, and we were catching up and the next thing I knew it was 5am and I had class to start thinking about.  But it was worth it to catch up with him.  And then, it's patch day.  I started downloading it and 3 hours later it was only 20% done.  Sigh.  My husband was like, if you understand routers you would know how to turn off the firewall.  Um.  Hello.  That's why I married you. 

Let's see.  News.  I'm getting a puppy a WEEK FROM TODAY.  Her name is going to be Cherrywood's Regina Caeli, and we're going to call her Ginny.  Anyone surprised by the call name?  :P

I'll post pics when I get them.

I miss you guys.  Comment and let me know you're still alive.

wow. 31 today. why does that feel older than 30? today's hitting harder than 30 did for sure :D

Also, a happy birthday to Ashley, if you read this. It's so easy to remember her birthday, since we share it.

So... I'm pimping out our new HP RPG. Feel free to come play. Interactive writing is the best!

Application | Taken/Available Characters | Rules




The year was 1066.

The Norman King, William, had arrived with his supporters on the shores of Britain, and battle had been waged. The Normans had been victorious, and titles were granted to the invaders, making them the new ruling class.

But that wasn't the only conflict.

Included in William's army were wizards, powerful men who controlled both land and the elemental forces of nature. Their women came, too, and a society within a society was created.

For a time, the two groups lived in relative peace.

But nothing lasts forever.

****

21 years have passed, the year is now 1087.

Afraid and resentful of the power of the magic-folk, the common men and women, Muggles, began to rebel against their one time allies. For all the power that magic brought the wizarding class, the Muggles had sheer numbers on their side.

Now, society is on the brink of collapse and dissidence is rampant. Witches and wizards are being caught, tortured, and killed by the Muggles, and Muggles are disappearing in their beds.

Something has to be done, but what? By who?

Some of the greatest minds of the age are coming together to try and find a way to save the world as they know it, but even they have differences of opinion. Who will you side with? What will your answer be? Join us as we look back in time….

This is a game for mature players only, for sex and violence aren’t appropriate for the under 18 crowd. Original characters are welcomed! Over arching and ambitious plot lines encouraged!

Ok, guys.

I have something to admit.  I play World of Warcraft.

And I just tamed a really cool pig and he needs a name.

Here's his pic...

Suggestions?

So, one of my students shared this with me as we were talking about American pop Culture today, and I laughed so hard, I hd to share it with all of you.

From Lazyboy Lyrics, I share with you Underwear Goes inside the Pants

I have now been up all freaking night (almost) once more grading utter and complete crap.

And therefore, I shall share.  Be warned.

The prompt was name a time you have experienced or witnessed deviant behavior and discuss what theory best explains it.

Ok.

So.

Here we go again.  Here's my fav from this round.  I'm copying the grammar errors on purpose....

My comments in red

Enjoy:

    I believe if Matt Heid was continue to do good in school, he will have a good education (really?  I thought that was always the purpose of education?).  Also, he might would be able for a good job in the long run.  His appearance may need to change as far as his teeth and the way he present hisself (how about how you present yourself?).  The residence that he living in is terrible but if he was willing to try and find a job to help out his mother they just might have a little better living (well, that's why I work....).  Rather than him downing his mother all the time.  Matt Heid seem like he has a good head on his shoulder.  If he make several changes in his way of living things will work out.  Matt social life might turn out to be good, just because he has friends now, even though he is ashame of the way he live (and you should be ashamed of the way you write....).
    Matt Heid will make it in the long run as long as he continue to do good in school and get involve in different things as far as the community.  His look would turn out good, once he build up his grammer (grammar effects looks?  not to mention she misspelled grammar which was hard to write....  and wow... pot, meet kettle!)  and change his appearance just alittle.  As long as Matt keep having a positive mind set, he will make it in life.

Again, I point out that this is a 300 level class!  And this is a native English speaker.  It was HARD to keep the grammar and spelling errors.  My brain twitched typing them on purpose....

OK. So. If any of you are Emo's, I apologize in advance.

Maybe.

Anyway.

We were talking about emo kids in my class today (taking, not teaching, on family) and I, old fart that I am, had no idea what it was. So, I googled it an came up with this video on you tube which is freaking hilarious.



Again, I apologize to any of my friends this describes. But dear lord.

And... I'm in grading hell today. So I'll probably have snippets for you all later.

OK.

I have to share.

I've had a few that make me want to cry.

Here's one. Copied word for word. Including spelling and grammar errors.

"I was sure I did nothing wrong for him to pull me over. This was around 1:20 am in the morning. After he approached the car I asked why he pulled me over. He said my muffler was ato loud and asked for my registration and insurance and liscense. Well I knew this was discrimination because I had no muffler on the car at all."


Or this:

"I know I was dicriminated against cause I'm a white mail and they didn't let me into my first pick school."

Really? Maybe it was because you have no concept of homophones?

No, that can't be it?

This is a JUNIOR LEVEL CLASS, people. WTF????

I just have to finally share... I got my PI accreditation as a beta reader!

:D

Let the pimping begin!

Want to play in a FUN game, that's plot based and not all dark and sad?

Upward Spiral, opening October 1, is a post-DH, canon compliant game (Minus the epilogue which I'm sure surprises NO ONE reading this on MY f-page. Even you, Shiraz. You may LIKE R/H, but it can't surprise you that I don't....)

The game's premise is based on the remaining divisions in the Wizarding World and the best ways to overcome them.

Subplots will be encouraged!

Check it out!

UPWARD SPIRAL

OK

We've all seen the little quizzy things that sort us.
