Wills Upcoming Visit :D Wow Friends and Pumpkinhead!

Well so much for writing here again sooner lol. Anyway things have been going pretty good for me lately :) Will and I are going to see each other again on the 11th :D He's staying until the 14th :). I'm so excited :D 2 half days together and 2 full ones :) (Was only 1 full 1 last time). We're gonna play the Ouija board and maybe some other board games, kiss/cuddle (blush), and maybe drive around looking at Christmas decorations and going to see a movie. For the movie we're thinking of the new one coming out, Fourth Kind. Since we both like aliens/paranormal it seems a good choice :) Just worried my local theater won't be playing it in time. I remember years ago they were always a few weeks slow on getting the newest releases :( I guess if they aren't we can probably watch District 9 or Paranormal Activity. Would suggest going to Buffalo but he's already gonna be driving 4 or 5 hours to come here so don't wanna ask him to drive that much more.

Speaking of movies we watched Pumpkinhead together on day of the dead (the day after Halloween). We watched it on a movie site while chatting online heh. It was pretty good, not one of the best movies I've seen though, I wish it had ended differently too. Was my idea to watch a scary movie online together :) Thinking we might make a habit of this watching stuff online together :)

Our recruit a friend thing ended :( But his lock and my rogue both hit 60 before it did :) We're level 63 now actually. Turns out when you hit 60 you stop getting the triple xp anyway and can't be summoned anymore (I really should've read the faq on recruit a friend more lol). Odd thing with the summons thing is sometimes it worked when we were 60 and sometimes it didn't. Seemed to work mostly in inns. Since we stopped getting triple xp a few days before recruit a friend ended we decided to play other toons. He had a level 10 druid and a level 8 priest so I made a hunter and he granted my hunter levels with both toons until I was same level as his druid :) Got those toons up to level 19 in a couple hours of play time :) Hunter seems a fun class but I'd much rather play my rogue with him, or my druid when he gets up to 80 :D

And he got the burning crusade xpac so we can level to 70 together...told him he didn't need to though and that he could've just bought wrath, cause when I switched computers and reinstalled wow all I needed was wrath. But thinking now I may be wrong and that doing that might only work for accounts that already had downloaded the xpac before. Because everything online says you need wrath so it makes me wonder. Anyway he'll need to get wrath, and hopefully he will soon. Will be even more awesome when hes 80 and can play with my druid :D

Just wish he'd play more :( We don't even play together everyday but he thinks we play together alot, he says we play together an average of 3-4 hours a day, but I know thats totally off. He said he calculated it from his /played in wow. But thing is he played alot without me too so I'm not sure how he could calculate it. Anyway I know for sure we don't play that much on average, we barely play every other day, even weekend days we don't always get 3-4 in :( He thinks anything above 2 hours is good though :( I disagree. I think 2 is good for weekdays but think it should be more like 5-6 on weekend days. Guess we just have very different ideas on what is alot. We've argued quite a bit about it actually. :( Also he said before that he'd try to play more wow with me but it seems totally like he went back on his word about that because he later said he meant 2 hours a day and I replied something like thats what you said weeks before you said the playing more thing and he said something like well I didn't always do 2 hours then and will now. Another thing is he seems to stay on wow longer the times he goes on without me :(

Anyway while I'm on the subject of wow, one of my wow friends, Rich got hacked :( I was wondering why I hadn't seen him on in a couple days, he came on last night, I asked him where he'd been and told him armory wouldn't bring up his toons. He said "yea, I got hacked" He said the hacker took all his stuff and de'd it and used his emblems to buy epic gems and stuff. Took him a few days to get it all back (he got hacked on Wednesday morning and just got account back last night). Whoever hacked him also paid for server transfers for both his toons to another realm. He thought that was funny since he said whoever did it spent money on it. What I don't get though is why they didn't change the email (he said he got an email about his toons being transferred and thats how he found out, orginally when he got hacked he thought the person deleted them since he couldn't find them on armory) if they changed the billing info (which I'm assuming they did if they paid for the transfers) Really confusing, I'll have to ask him about it later. Hopefully he isn't lying about getting hacked for some reason. Anyway he got all his stuff back, plus some abyss crystals and such from when his gear was disenchanted, guess they reinstated his gear and let him keep the crystals. He thinks hes missing some gold though which sucks.

Anyway I just recently am starting to get interested in getting back into raiding on my druid. But I think after my recent try I'll just give up and try again in a few weeks or months. It was an uldaur 25 run that I joined already in progress because 1 of my wow friends asked me to come. Wish I hadn't, we wiped alot, not only that but the run had 10 guildys in in and 1 of them was lead, the douche decided all runed orbs would go to their guild bank. Most guilds do that, I don't really agree with it in any case...but when you have non guildys in the run, especially 10 of them you should fucking let everyone roll. Assholes. Anyway I force dc'd shortly after that when they wiped again. Do worry some that I made the friend who asked me to come mad by doing that but meh. Maybe I can say sorry and make up some excuse to him.

Ugh speaking of wow friends...1 of mine, the one I mentioned before that suggested maybe meeting 1 day since he moved to Ohio never ever ever helps me and it pisses me off. I've run him through stuff before but he never does the same. Its been like this for years pretty much and I'm just about fed up with it. Don't think hes a very good friend at all. He always says he doesn't have much time or is logging soon, or has had a bad day and just wants to bg to relax. Yet he'll help his fucking guild whenever they ask. A guild whos leader is a good wow friend of his and who was very rude to me before when I was in that guild :( Pisses me off so much. Have actually considering ending the friendship over him not helping would think if he was a good friend he wouldn't only not be in that guild but would help me too sometimes like I've helped him. Don't really remember even many instances of him helping me even. Remember 2 though both over a year ago. 1 he got pissed at me when I asked him to run me and some others through an instance because the others took too long to get there (he really has no patiance at all, even less then me lol). Another one was for my locks epic mount quest at 60 and he actually suggested I give him money for it :( Could almost understand that in a way because he paid money for the items himself weeks before for his own lock quest, but he had them regardless of me so it wasn't something a friend should've done. I wouldn't have suggested he pay if the situation had been revered :( Also remember the time a year or so ago where he borrowed 2000 gold from me to buy epic flight and took months to pay it back :( Anyway the day I asked him to run me through the instance he was online for hours on end in battlegrounds. Would've only taken 20-30 minutes to run me through the instance and he wouldn't make time. Some friend.

Did eventually find someone to run me through, one of my old guild leaders who I still talk to lol, she was very nice about it too and got some others to help too to speed it up. Thats about the only guild leader I've had in wow that I don't hate lol. But that guild doesn't exist anymore they merged with another one. Anyway I like my achievements and they weren't progressed very far so I quit partly over that and partly because 1 of the officers was a total ass to me.

Anyway as for achievements...I've gotten a few lately :) Less then I used to but I have alot of the non raid ones now and haven't been raiding much to get the raid ones. I got sporegger and kureni rep achievements as well as the diplomat achievement/title :)Also finally did Sunwell and got my outland raider achievement :D Been waiting months to find a group to get that, no one ever does it. Also killed all the rares in outland for bloody rare achievement lol. That one took about a week but was fun. Got alot of crappy level 60ish blues and some good ones from killing the rares, so some nice gear for my rogue and Will's lock and some shards for me to de :)

Anyway might write again sooner but don't hold your breaths lol. Might do next part of that longest personality quiz if I'm bored. Otherwise my next blog entry will probably be about Will's upcoming visit. So excited :D

World of Warcraft, Will, TV, etc

Since wows down and I'm bored figured I'd write an entry now. Hit 7500 achievment points in wow finally :D Will be at 7600 too very soon as I still have most of the brewfest ones left to do. I've been doing all the holiday achivments so I will be getting my violet proto drake once I finish the brewfest ones :D. Hope I have enough tickets leftover to get the pink elkk mount too. Pink Elk>Violet Proto Drake imo actually. According to what I read though you need to refund the brewfest garb after you get the dalaran achievement, otherwise it isn't possible to have enough tickets to both buy everything you need for the achievement and buy the mount. I didn't have enough tickets yet to buy the garb so I haven't tried it yet but people swear it works. Just hope after maintenance they don't put anything in the game to change it. Cause I really wants my pink elk lol. So glad I at least joined brew of the month club last year, because the quest item to join it is probably non refundable and its 200 tokens.

Another achievement I'm close to getting is the loremaster one. Only part I have left for it is kalimodor. I have only 2 quests left there to do. Know where they are too(hopefully they both count...have found that a few quests don't give credit towards the achievement :(). Have to say though the kalimodor part sure was alot more difficult and annoying to do then the others, they should really lower the requirement for it, at least for alliance, by 50-100 quests.

Am happy that most of my favorite shows are starting their new seasons this month :D Can't wait to watch them. Already watched Big Bang Theory (was hoping Penny and Leonard would start dating not become friends with benefits!), Fringe and Survivor. Fringe was awesome as always, think its getting even better. Survivor usually is just a show I watch to pass them time, but this season is surprising me by actually being pretty good. Its mainly this 1 guy whos such a jerk thats making it so entertaining. Hopefully he stays for a while but doesn't win the money.

Also things between me and Will are going ok. Something he said makes me worry he might be thinking of breaking up with me though :( Ugh. Really really hope he doesn't :( We had some other arguments too, but I don't feel I should be going into details, especially since I know he wouldn't want me to. In better news, he says he's gonna visit me again :) In Novemeber though, wish it was sooner lol, but I'm greatful he at least gave a date. I still don't feel 100% secure in this relationship though...but I feel more secure then I ever have with anyone else.

His lock and my rogue are both level 30 now. So far we've only quested together a few times, due to his work and school and my sleeping schedule not always being on par with his. Did 2 instances so far, got run through both. He doesn't like being run though because it takes away the challenge, but its nearly impossible to find a group our level for these instances :( Almost had an all level 24-34 group for stocks the other day, but tank said brb relogging and never came back, so had to go whisper random tank classes to try to find 1, took 10 or so whispers for me to get someone who would come, only not on the toon I whispered them on, they offered to run us through. Was very nice of them and I of course said yes. So they ran us through, had to run us through twice do the other members of the group being impatient and starting the instance before we were all inside. I swear most people in this game are either jerks or morons or both. Did they seriously think they could duo the instance? Sure some trash yea, but bosses and the harder pulls? Idiots.

Also I'm making my own guild. Just a bank guild though lol so me and Will have extra and shared space. Haven't decided on a name yet. Thinking of something funny though. Don't know if my druid will stay in it permanently but my rogue and other toons will for sure as I don't plan to ever raid with them.

Anyway hopefully I'll get to quest with Will tonight :) But he might want to study (he's been neglecting his school work lately lol)) or I might be sleeping :( I woke up at like 3am :( Grrr need to force myself to stay up a bit longer so I can get on par with his schedule.

Anxiety breakthrough :D

I talked on vent for the first time ever! I'm so proud of myself. I know it doesn't sound like much to most people, but for me who has really bad social anxiety its a major accomplishment. I'm quiet on it most of the time though, but I don't think thats necessarily a bad thing, better then people that talk over each other (and we get that some in this guild). I must sound young though because someone asked me how old I am(in whisper). I hate the way my voice sounds. The day after I first talked on it I actually spent all night worrying about how I sounded and if what I said was stupid or whatnot. But still I'm glad I did...I feel like its a huge accomplishment for me, and I know it will get easier to talk on it as time goes by. And last night I actually had a hour or so long conversation with some guildys even after the raid ended. Wow. I never thought I'd be able to do that.

In less happy news, my net was out for like 5 hours the other night. I called and they had a prerecording up saying it was scheduled maintenance. I was like wtf. I mean really...if the internet is gonna be out and they know it, why no damn warning in advance. I missed doing all my 25 dailys in wow that day because of that bullcrap.

The other night we came so close to getting the spore loser achievement on 10 man. But as always someone ruined it. This time it was the offtank (who is a great guy, but his player skills not so great). He used his army of the dead near the end! Ugh. What part of no aoe can't these people understand, the gm only said it about 10 times "no aoe don't kill the spores".

I know I complain alot about my guild, I guess I tend to focus more on the negative then the positive. But really its not so bad, actually I'd say this is the best guild I've ever been in (not that thats saying much lol) but yea, its a pretty good guild. They're all pretty nice and fair to me, and thats whats really important. It shouldn't bug me so much that some people in it aren't very good at the game, but it does. Anyway I got like 4 new pieces of gear this week. So I needed some enchantments on them obviously...well my guild was awesome cause I didn't have to spend a cent on the enchants or mats...guild bank and guildys provided it all for me :) I'm really grateful for that...though I feel a little guilty now because I used up quite a good portion of the enchanting mats in bank. They're also the only guild I've ever felt comfortable enough to talk on vent with. Or only people rather. I never even felt comfortable enough to talk to Rich on vent, and I really really liked him.

Also I think we may just clear the rest of nax 25 tonight (keeping my fingers crossed!) we did better then ever last night and went further in 1 night then we ever had before. Good thing I suggested doing construct wing and the first boss of dk wing after spider wing that night, otherwise we would've done both easy wings that night instead and thats how we usually do it and then the next night we spend hours wiping on the last boss in construct and bosses in dk wing (especially the first boss in dk). So now tonight we got 1 easy wing left and the bosses in the dk wing (cept for the first 1). Our dps was also better then ever tonight and for the first time ever I wasn't num 1 on the meter at the end of the night. They think we can get to KT tonight for the first time ever on 25 man as a guild and I hope they're right. Can't wait to see. Gonna go eat my yummy dinner of meatloaf and baked potatos then it should be just about time for the raid. Hope we get KT tonight!
