Fishing Hat

So like Jaxs sent me this sweet little note and said to go ahead and take a trip to Booty Bay for some nice little R&R.  Wasn't that sweet? She even gave me spending money and let me tell you this little elf was roaring to go after some of those recent battles that I've been through.

I'm a girl on the prowl for some sun and fun but wouldn't you know it rained the first two days I was there so after being cooped up on day 3 I was determined to find some FUN! Only problem is that everyone in Booty Bay looks a bit green.  So when this guy Carpo whispers me with a "Hey baby going my way?" .. well, I was excited to see the sites so yeah!

He asks me if I brought along a rod and I whisper back .. umm isn't that your specialty? but whatever I am just here for the sights and as we are heading to the coast I'm thinking how could I get any luckier when he hands me a note.  Slick! I just met the guy and already he's passing me notes..

Kaiya,

  Stop flirting with Carpo and get to work! I expect

   you to get a new hat and boots outta this trip and

   while you are down there run to Gurubashi Arena

   for a trinket.  BTW you’ll need to do it a few 
  times so stop whining and get your hands dirty!

AGM

What?!?! Are you kidding me and let me tell you he put me through my paces.  Hole after Hole till finally that first day I got Brownell's Blue Striped Racer .  Then for the next week Carpo and a bunch of other 70's took me down to Gurubashi Arena where I died and died and oh yeah did I mention die again till I got 12 trinkets to turn in finally for my Arena Grand Master. This was promptly followed up by doing another fishing tournament where I was driven like a work horse till I got Keefer's Angelfish.

I took the next flight back from Booty Bay to Stormwind.  No way was I going to hang around for anymore of their "fun".  I need a manicure after all of that. 

That's when I get a whisper from Jaxs, OMG will this lady never stop?

[Jaxs]: Kai.. it’s time to give up the agility on your gloves and get some healing! Take the money I gave you and go see Tlc.  I’ve arranged for you to get the same enchant as Diem.

[Kaiya]: Are you f*cking kidding me? I’m not Diem and I was going to get a manicure with that money!

[Jaxs]: Honey bunny .. get the enchant or get deleted J

[Kaiya]: Ok L

Well I'm not an idiot and I know who pays for my fun times.. maybe I will hit her up for one of those rare pets?

“If the only prayer you ever say in your

entire life is thank you, it will be enough.”
     ~ Meister Eckhardt

Vacations are suppose to be a time to relax and enjoy and spend time with your friends and family.  So why is it on my vacation I get sick? And everyone around me gets sick? The only upside to this is that there was a lot of WoW time and with that a lot of my goals that I’ve had were achieved.  But none of my goals could have ever been achieved without the help of others.

Diem ~ Thank you for being the reason I twink.  You were the one who started me on my twink priest journey and you are the one that pushes me to be better.  Sibling rivalry is something that at times can’t be defined but I hope it never shadows the love we have for each other.  Thank you for being in my life! WoW and RL.

Aurum ~ Thank you for sharing your fried rice recipe, the naked gnome race, and the laughs we had while talking/listening to vent.  I’m glad someone has a sick of a mind as me.

Farstriders Elite ~ For the 12 trips down and back from Gurubashi Arena to get me a trinket.  You guys took time out of your game to help me and though maybe it seems little it means a lot to this little twink!  Oh and BTW.. never have I ever seen anything as cool as the fact that there were all these 60-70s from different guilds gathered together to take out those nasty competitors.  It was a blast!

PuGs ~ Yes I know you will never read this but I joined up with some of the best PUG groups for dungeon runs that I could have ever come across.

War Machine ~ Rushy this was all to you really to help get a team together to do Arc and yeah I know why you like to roll with these guys.  They were all over it and powerful and quick as quick can be. 

Sinder ~ Thanks for my first heroic run and for being my pocket healer!

My Black Morass posse ~ You guys didn’t just do it once, you did it twice to help me finish my Master of Elixirs quest! Thank you thank you thank you!

And finally … I may not have played this game as long as others, but I know how I like to play and surrounding myself with players like me can be really hard to find.  I’ve been lucky though to find someone who listens and pushes me to achieve MY goals in this game and to do it in a way where we laugh and have fun and enjoy the time we spend together.  No one person has taught me as much as you have.  You are constantly putting a new challenge in front of me till I learn to embrace it and achieve it and then to give me another goal and in turn you’ve said I’ve done the same for you which I hope is true.

Carpo .. thank you for just always being there!

Sick

 It just seems that I can't get enough of you and after ruining my vacation in Cali to be followed up by two days spent getting reacquainted with my toliet at home I'm here to tell you .. NO MORE!   I'm done .. so done, there's nothing left of me to have so move onto your next victim!

*Pulls out the Coffee, OJ and Muffins* 

Just thought if you are going to read this crap you should at least have morning snacks!

If you are so inclined to read Emberstorm forums then you would happen to know lots of trash talking is going around and apparently someone did not like my blog about the WKP win that I wrote about last week. 

I could say a lot of things in response but then where does that leave me? Even thought about going to Torth and having a chat with said persons but you know when all the trouble happened in the first place the whispers come back and forth so quick that you don't have a chance to type all of what you want to say before the other person just starts freaking out even more and before you know it everyone is angry and I would rather not go there.

So I thought I will just post here.  I mean if you read it once, why wouldn't you come back a second time :) *Waves to all my anonymous readers*.

I really do not believe this has anything to do with the blog itself.  If it offends you tough.  I really do believe this has to do with what was said the next day in a raid chat while we were qued up for WSG. .  See Aurum had remarked that I needed to retitle my SS and that it wasn't a WKP win.  So I had to tell her about why it said "WKP win".  After the game with emotions high I had taken a SS and named it "OMFG We beat WKP win".  When I uploaded the pic, I took out the beginning so it read "WKP win".  As I'm telling this in raid chat I get a whisper of how this hurts someones feelings.  *sighs*

I'd like to put out there a few of the true facts:

• I'm NOT a fully twinked priest, nor will I ever be.
• I'm NOT the best thing out there.  *This one is laughable cause I have NEVER said it to begin with and will disagree with it when someone even mentions it*
• I NEVER disrespected WKP as a guild, or the game which we fought. 
• Maybe I did disrespect ONE member *coughJEFFcough* but you know I'm tired of how you come into FE join a raid listen to a partial part of a conversation feel the need to disrespect me, my guild and then jump back to your server to cry about it.

So moving on from here .. flame me all you like anywhere you like.  I will continue to giggle.  I don't think I've seen my name on the Emberstorm forums this much in my year of playing.  I will continue to play as I do and you will do as you wish. 

WKP win

Kaiya

.. from the depths of WSG, your inside the action, not afraid to get down, dirty and flirty reporter Kaiya reporting for duty!

Yes it's true! I was there to witness the whole scene as it played out.  Farstriders Elite, a rather large group of disorganized but lovable twinks who really know how to party from the realm of Farstriders took down a prominent and lethal adversary guild from Tortheldrin, We Kill People.

It was a 6 on 5 premade action, WKP having the advantage as FE tried their best to get their clothes back on and look like a respectable guild flying out of the tunnel to take down the big nasties!  From my own personal advantage I can say the action was fierce and viscious.  Gouging, Kiting, Rooting, all the big punches were pulled as the adrenaline was pumping. 

Flags were picked up, returned, and capped while everyone held their breath.  Well almost everyone .. some people were on vent losing it but we forgive you Rushie *kisses*.  In the end FE came out victorious in what has to be called an unbelievable story for the ages.  For the 5 FE members involved I know it's a night we will hold in our hearts because no matter what anyone says, we were outmatched *Especially cause that damn lvl 11 wouldn't stop picking up their flag* but we were able to find a way to work together and for one night of glory beat one of the best twink guilds on Emberstorm.

Funny how after being gone for over a month one might feel as though a total stranger to a game that use to fit her like a glove.  As the character screen popped up it was like seeing family that I haven't seen in a long time.  It was the same feeling I use to have when returning home from college and running into my mom's arms.  And yet it was all very unfamiliar to me. 

The first person on my character list is Kaiya.  My sweet little twink.  The priest with a heart so big and a flirt that apparently is even bigger.

*CLICK*

*takes a few deep breaths*

[Friend]: OMG

[Me]: *hugs* remember me?

.... you can imagine where the conversation went from here.  After many whispers and hopping on vent to listen to the oh so familiar voices which I have missed so much!

We run and do a few bgs and oh is Kaiya slow! Unsure of button placements, wandering around on her own as though she is strong enough to take on the world..

HELLOOOOO Kaiya.. you're a clothie! Stay in the back of the pack and heal!!!

The Dream Girls - 11 - I Am Changing

Everything seemed right .. but as in life, WoW has changed and though I am trying to embrace all the changes, I feel a bit lost in my own direction. 

It's hard to jump back in when you've been gone so long and though I only feel supportive to those who have been there for me it's hard to not feel sad because of what isn't there too. 

Life changes .. so will I :)

*Hugs & Kisses* Congrats Hydra and Noc!

So I am still without a computer :(  I did get it back for a short time with a new motherboard.  I tried it out and within the first few minutes of my return to WoW experience I got dropped to the blue screen of death.  I could restart it and load up fine and then try to play again and the computer would just shut down.  These are the days when I wish I was geekier so I could go into Best Buy and say "this is what's wrong, fix it dammit!".. instead I gave up and am still without WoW as I wait for my computer to get diagnosed, fixed, returned, and then I can whine again about how it's not fixed. 

Well I do hope everyone had a nice holiday season. I've been busy on my downtime with actually decorating my house and tree to wrapping gifts to tearing open the gifts to lots of holiday baking and shoveling!  Hydra I don't know what to say but you guys just picked the wrong year to come :( We have so much snow now I could send you home with a dozen suitcases full of the stuff and it still wouldn't feel like a dent was made.

I miss all my WoW friends and thank those of you who have kept in touch via messages and email.  I will hopefully be back in another week or two.

*Hugs and Kisses*

Top 10 Things I will do to fill my WoW time:

Snow

10. Shovel out snowmobiles. *Refer to picture: In that mass of snow is I believe a minimum of 8 snowmobiles that needs to be recovered after the 3 feet of snow I got last week* 

Done as much as I'm going to do .. 5/8 is good enough for any one family! 

9. Clean my house.  Not just the spots that company see either!

Working on it .. Honest :)~> 

8. Read a book.  I have 3  2 that are have been bought with the intention of finding spare time and they just sit by my bed.

 I'm through 1/2 way of my 2nd book. 

7. Make plane reservations for my 2 (maybe 3) week vacation to California to see family and friends.

6. Clean out my son's room... Don't even get me started on this topic.  It has to do with last year my family coming to stay with me for 10 days and my guilt as a mom giving in to every demand of my son.. Don't ask you really don't want to know.  Let's just say I have not seen that childs floor in over 3 months and I have not opened his closet door in over a year!

5.  Research..  I know there are some great blogs and websites out there to not only help my WoW fun but also to help me grow with my many toons.  Especially looking into how to be a more effective mage hoping that one day I'll be allowed to raid with my guild again?

4.  Find a way to save up money to get me the computer I really want. *grins wickedly*

Okay I found my computer I want .. *sighs* but with all the OTHER things going on in my life AND it being Christmas reality set in and I'm settling for waiting for mine to come back and saving up my pennies.  Is child labor still against the law? .. I'll get back to you on this. 

3.  Contact my friends via phone and hand written letters.  Yes I know very archaic in the days of email and texting but an old-fashioned hand written letter can really make a person's day.

Seriously weird in the 2 days since this posted I have talked to 4 of my friends who I can never find time to talk to.   

2. Christmas Shop! Unlike the rest of my family who had it all done before December I am the lone slacker who has not started. *Hears the clock ticking the time away as there are only 17 15 shopping days left*

1. Sleep.  This is not exclusive to WoW playing.  Some days work interferes with a good sleeping pattern not to mention I'm one of those who needs to watch a little tv before crashing *preferably Sex and the City*.

Maybe this coming weekend? 4 days off from work maybe ONE of them I can sleep past 6 hours?

Well not my blog per se but WoW is.. it seems I fried my motherboard and being the fool I am living in the boondocks of nowhere I bought my computer at Best Buy and apparently they can't fix it in store so I have to wait 3 to 4 weeks to get it back.

*SIGHS*

*POUTS*

*HAS HISSY FITS AT THE GEEK SQUAD COUNTER*

Sorry .. my inner child can be quite uncontrollable at times.  So, hopefully one of my few friends will read this and pass the word around since Hydra and hubby are on vacation for another week and I can't rely on them to be my source of info.

Mynxe

Welcome to the newest member of my WoW family .. Mynxe!  She got lost on her way to becoming what she is now but she's finally made the journey from a low level nobody to a 29 .. not quite there yet, but working on it twink priest. 

Her journey has been a long one .. and often neglected.  It wasn't till some twink friends of mine complained about not having a healer in AB and how it would make all the difference.

Well who am I to shy away from this challenge? Besides I had just the girl in mind. 5'6, sandy brown hair, a cute pixelated nose and already a level 16.  How could I lose? Well except for the fact that I already had so many other things going on with Jaxs, Kaiya, and working on a horde toon for fun...

So after what seems like years, maybe 2 months, Mynxe sweats her way up the ranks to about 26.  And then the fun begins of getting her all her twink gear.  Now she's not as squishy as she was a month ago, but she's still a long ways away from where I want her to be.

But I still decide to take her out for a trial run in AB.  Flanked by some geared and skilled members of Farstriders Elite and Render Ineffective we venture out of the gates and down the hill towards the stables and off to the LM.  Now thankfully back in my younger days on Jaxs, I ran a lot of AB so when they are shouting to take the LM and BS .. I know this isn't Lick Me and Bull S***.  So I'm running along with my team mates, realizing that they all are at break neck speeds and I'm just skipping along.  Hmm.. ok I know I need a speed enchant when I get my boots.  Till then I'll just tra la la my way up the hill, and down the hill to the farm, and over the river and through the woods.. sorry distracted! Well we did pretty good out of 4 games we won 3!  And I'm on my way to getting that honor and marks that I need for boots and belts and necklaces and trinkets and ..

Oh and before I go .. yes this is what she looks like currently. *sighs* I know I shouldn't care about the "looks" of an outfit but I can't help it .. I'm a girl and she looks like a clown (you can't see the red hands and purple pinky boots). One day I may just have to list all of my pieces and where I got them from to actually be a helpful blog but for right now I'm still working on getting a look I can live with.
