That’s it for me, no more work until the 5th of January. God I’m tired …

Think all those late nights on World of Warcraft are catching up with me. So why am I thinking of going back in there ? I must be mad. [gibber][gibber][gibber]

Please wait a moment until reality is resumed.

Ahhh – that’s better. Had my first lazy night for quite a while. Got home, got pizza, put Spiderman on (had that for ages, not watched it) and just generally chilled out. Was thinking about putting Spiderman 2 on as well as a back to back but I’m struggling to keep my eyes open.
Hmm. England game tomorrow, Loafy Thursday, up norf to the parents place on Friday. Must find time to wrap the prezzies and find room under the tree. Doh ! Mustn’t forget the rest of the Xmas shopping tomorrow and Kong tomorrow night. CQ would never forgive me. Hmm. Maybe she will, I already have her present(s). Ok – Rca would never forgive me.

Wonder how they’re getting on in Molten Core. There was another trip in there tonight that I could have gone on but I’d have needed the Coffee IV to keep me paying attention. Does them good to go in there without me every so often, although I like to think I make it a little easier for the raid leaders. I think I have fans … I’m not sure if this will work due to access permissions but here goes :

Wherever you see Iceangel in that thread, they’re talking about me. I have fans. That’s so cool 🙂 Maybe my fans are why I’m thinking about going back in.

Is something that’s hit World of Warcraft at the moment. Kinda like a Christmas thing.

Anyway, one of the new seasonal things they’ve put in is a quest describing the history behind the Feast of Winter Veil. It has you taking a book from one city to another. Most people won’t read that book, which means potential Easter Eggs !

What’s just made me laugh is the final page :
“Modern Day Observation

Other cultures have begun to recognize the Feast of Winter Veil as a time of great celebration, though not in the same traditions as the legend bases it in. Customs, often unrelated to anything other than a chance for celebration and gift exchange have made their way into modern day observation of the season. Even the image of Greatfather Winter is sometimes use, but more as a harbinger of commercial exploit rather than as a supernatural titan.”

Yes folks, Santa Claus does exist, he’s standing in front of the Orgrimmar Auction House at the moment.

[chuckle] I save that for when I’m at work.

Don’t yopu ever sleep?

Maybe that’s why you forget your butter:-)

Lesson for today :

If you put a pot of butter on top of the central heating boiler in the morning to make it soft enough to make toast within an hour or so of putting it there, don’t forget about it until the evening.

“I can’t believe it’s not Butter” wasn’t impressing me that much anyway …

Yeah – it has its moments 🙂 There’s a lot of fun to be had, if you get the right groups together. On the other hand, there’s other groups that just wind you up, either from having to suffer from people who can’t play or people who shouldn’t be allowed outside bouncy rooms …

But with all that, we’ve got a good thing going with the core people in the Mercenaries and a few people in the wider Guildlink group.

It might be me, Son – but this WoW sounds like human nature; envy, bickering, attention-seeking, sweetness etc….

cool

I did give an answer of “not that I know of” to our rather cute new(ish) finance girl the next day.

The question was “is there someone else at the moment ?” She was wondering where I’d got me jacket from.

I was on World of Warcraft this morning (only just, but 11.55 counts) and was hoping to help someone through a task. Person didn’t appear (I think I know why – her sisters don’t like her playing WoW) so I didn’t get the chance to make her insanely jealous due to my second character’s outfit.

“Person” plays a character called Tula, who everyone on the server loves because of her having one of the most playful, fun, beautiful spirits you’ll ever hope to find. However, she’s also a schoolgirl in the Netherlands, so the phrase “… Is Not A Hottie” comes to mind. Anyway, Tula’s other name is the Dancing Girl, hence the jealousy over the outfit …

What’s so special about the outfit ? It caused enough of an impression in the bank the other night to earn a few slappings from the girl who was in there because it was making the male characters go blind … Think chainmail bikini and you’re close. The amusing thing is that the top half was good enough to be picked as an item I used for about 6 whole levels and I didn’t know how little there was of it until my curiosity made me take the tabard (overtunic) off. Kinda shows what kind of things go through game designers minds when they’re making outfits for the girls. I have to admit, I had to cheat to find an item for the lower half, there wasn’t anything available where I could get away with saying “I actually used that !”.

People skills – there’s an unfortunate bunch of people in WoW who believe in powerlevelling everything involved in the game. Trouble is, that includes things like guild ranks too … Guild rank effectively means nothing, as we’ve disabled most of the stuff that makes higher ranks special. Only about 6 characters can invite new people in, another privilege is Officer Chat, which we never use. So when you can see there’s no point in giving promotions out, and the logical conclusion from giving in to one hassler is getting more hassle, people asking get annoying … I probably upset one person today by making a new lowest-of-the-low rank called “PromotionHunter” and demoting him into it as soon as he asked for promotion. If he goes, it’ll be no loss cos he doesn’t get involved in the guild stuff anyway. Didn’t even know about the website.

Ah well – munchies time while I wait for a few people to sort themselves out. Hope our Dancing Girl is ok.

PS I play mostly girl characters on WoW because they look better 🙂 And you’re looking at your WoW character for a rather looong time while playing.

but did you pull? Will there be an extra body at the Crazie Christmas Party??
