Ok, I think it’s time for me to face my reality. I’m not going to be able to put out meaningful posts every day. That’s just not the way my brain operates and my job just takes too much out of me during the week to where I am just too drained to write after working all day, especially since I usually start to write about the time I should be going to bed…but I need my WoW time to unwind from my stresses, although sometimes, I must admit, it adds to my stress, especially if there’s guild drama. Fortunately, we don’t have too much of that.
Sometimes, though, I just wish I could sign on anonymously and play without interacting with others and I do have toons that I hide on, but I also feel like I have an obligation to at least make a guild appearance, too. And now that I’m working on the Loremaster achievements, I don’t really want to play on any other toon except Whimzee because I want to finish those achievements (at least the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor ones) before Cataclysm comes out. I’m currently at 625/700 for Eastern Kingdoms, but only at 155/700 for Kalimdor, so that’s going to take me some time to complete.
The problem with playing on Whimzee is that she’s one of the “popular” kids, so I’m always getting whispers or people are asking me to heal an instance or fill in on a raid and since I love doing that, I usually say yes, when in reality, I just want to quietly work on my lowbie quests and finish my goals. So, tonight, for example, I started off doing some quests in Swamp of Sorrows and one of my favoritest people to play with asked me to run some heroics with him because he’s trying to gear up his Paladin to tank and he needs emblems. He is one of the best natural tanks I know (on his warrior and his dk) – actually he’s one of the best all around players that I know on most any class or spec - so of course I said yes. We got some dps from the guild and ran a couple heroics and it was good, if a little slow, since our dps was low and his gear isn’t good enough yet to blow through them. After that, I was able to work on a few quests, but I was only able to complete about 5 quests for the achievement and now I’m tired and should be going to bed.
I wanted to write about teamwork, like I mentioned yesterday, but I think that might have to wait for the weekend, after I’ve had a good night’s sleep and can focus on the topic and what I want to say. In the meantime, I’ll just post tidbits here and there and ramble on about whatever, just to get in the practice of writing again. But, for now, I’m out. Good night!
