WoW servers are down.. blog post about world of warcraft.

What do I do when the WoW servers are down? Write about Wow of course..


[intro]
So, I made a new character when I started playing World of Warcraft again 2 months ago. This character, a Worgen Druid called Madain, was made at the same time as my boyfriend created his new character, a Dranei Shaman called Powntang.

On Martin's days off work, he'd play, and I'd be busy doing something else, or he'd be playing while I'd be sleeping, and he left me at level 55 while he was 68, and kept going. Luckily, I literally have a character of every level section- 20-30, 30-40, 40-50, 50-60, 60-70, 70-80 and 80-90. I kept playing with him bit by bit with various characters until he got his Shaman to level 85. My old main (I don't know how that works, but a story for later in the piece) was left at Cataclysm and I had not touched her, Dranei Preist (Holy) called Hectress, since Pandaria, she was at level 85 too. So I've jumped back on her. Right now, I'm trying to get Hectress to level 90 before Powntang.

[story mode]
I have only just gone to Pandaria with Hectress at level 88. I have been spending time redoing professions and I learnt a bunch more about pet battles. The profession business with Hectress is a hard one to explain. I love the professions, I think they're one of the coolest things in wow, but when I finish them, I find it hard to focus on professions with another character and sometimes the professions just don't suit the intended character (I dunno, I'm talking shit, I'm just crazy and keep leveling professions).

So, I had Hectress doing Mining and Jewel Crafting back when I first started, and it was alright but boring, I wanted the cool mounts and funky stuff I could wave around at everybody. I leveled it as far as Cata would allow (level 525). I then took a small break from WoW and upon return, I wasn't happy with JC, so I "forgot" that profession and picked up engineering, because that's what every sane Dranei Priest learns. I leveled engineering all the way  (during Cata again, level 525) and I had the helicopter mount and everything. It was pretty cool, but damn was it useless... I really just did that profession for the mounts, which cost a bucket load and are impossible. The crappy thing about the helicopter mount I made, is you could only use it when you knew the profession.

Taking this into account, as I play Hectress for the first time since the Pandaria expansion release, I decide engineering is no good for her (good bye noisy helicopter mount). No, I don't decide to leave Hectress with a high level engineering profession and let another one of my many characters learn a new profession. No, I unlearn engineering AND I unlearn mining. I am now doing Herbalism and Inscription. Hey, at least its more useful than engineering (I know I should have left her with JC in the begining but my level 90 Warlock is now at JC and Mining level 600). 

I literally started playing Hectress again on the weekend and I already have my Herbalism and Inscription at level 500. I refused to go to Pandaria with my profession levels too low for the area. Now, I thought I was ready for Pandaria, until I found battlepets, and my god! These things are gorgeous! And boy do they give you some xp. I went from level 86-88 just from leveling my battle pets.

The pet battles that I was doing were just battling the wild pets, and I captured quite a lot too (I will post more about my battle pets in another post). I am yet to do a PvP pet battle. I will get into that when the servers come back on. I might also get my butt to Pandaria and get me some new gear.

What a rant. I will post more about my characters when I feel like it. Baiii.

Life poem

Happiness fulfills us
And nothing else exists
Not a care in the world
Positive moods clear the mist

Tomorrow will trouble find us
We cannot tell
For now the distraction comes first
Heaven on earth replaces hell

Death and destruction
Procrastination
Anxiety, making ends meat
We all need distraction

_________________________________



Something amazing comes along
And then we find something incredible
And celebration clears the mind

3 years with my man

Its been three years since Martin and I started dating and we have been through so much together, our love for eachother keeps getting stronger and stronger.

There are rough times where we don't always communicate properly or we don't always get what we want, but we always pull through it. We learn more about eachother all the time and together we are growing more every day.

We have so much fun together. We can be crazy together. Boring together. We poke fun at eachother.

I love our play fighting. I love spending time with you. I love your cuddles and kisses. I love when you sing. I love when you make me feel special. I love sleeping next to you. I love so much about you and us, it'll take a long time for me to write it all.

I love you. You make me so happy, and I hope I do the same for you.

Happy 3 years Bubba. Xoxoxo

Why I hate winter and how I'm going to make it better for myself.

Winter Wednesday
The sun is out and bright
I love the chilly day
I loathe the freezing night

I find winter is a difficult time of year for me to get motivated. My gym attendance drops, my diets fail after 2 days, none of my clothes keep me warm enough. I just want to stay in bed all day or sit infront of the heater and watch movies and eat pizza.
In summer, I can't stand being stuck indoors, I go out and have fun, salads are amazing and getting to a gym isn't like a chore. Get me to a swimming pool ASAP in summer. I found when I was swimming and training at the gym 4-5 days a week, I felt better about myself. Even though I may not have been eating the best, just taking care of my body in a physical sense made me feel amazing.

So, new plan, starting today. I need to organise my life and my time better. I would like to go for a swim and to the gym at least 3 times a week during the rest of winter.

Come summer, I want to be one of the fine looking ladies on the beach, not hiding under layers of clothing.

I will be posting progress pics on my blog and just writing little tid bits here and there about my torturous training experiences.

Here goes. Wish me luck.

I'm a N00B..

Now, I'm probably going to sound really stupid or unco, but I need help.
I play World of Warcraft, and I really enjoy it, but I have a dilemma. I have almost 2 characters at level 90 and various other characters and I still don't fully know how to play.
(I understand and stuff, but there are parts that just mess with me.)
Like, I love how you start a new character and you have the whole tutorial thing up to level 10, but its the higher levels that I struggle with. Having 25+ spells, and sometimes you level so fast you don't even realise you have new spells. Its hard for me to re-work out how to make my bar and stuff.
In combat, I like to keep things simple, using about 8 different spells. everything else just stuffs me up.
How the hell can I get better? Keep playing? Keep pissing everyone off for my badness.
I have fun.. and I am sometimes good, but I get flustered very easily.
Imma just keep trying mah best and you can all suffer, muahahahaaaa!
So, I need a tutorial again at level 90. K thx.



Have a video of me impersonating a worgen...
(I made the video as a video response to someone on YouTube, but you can watch it anyways)

Poem- The sleep cycle

The cycle
Sleep deprived
But I cant close my eyes
For fear that time
Will waste away.
But when I do go down
And im asleep, safe and sound
I'll be onward bound
A new day.
My body's rested, afresh
My hair's tussled, a mess
Clear minded, no stress
Go and play.
Work, eat, have fun
All day, till its done
The sky's dark, no sun
No delay.
[My first poem, written as I try to fall asleep, thinking about all the work I have to do, but what's the point? Time is just going to keep ticking, the world, still spinning, people moving forward, people getting behind on things. We really just need to eat, sleep, breathe and take care of ourselves. Do things that make you happy. Don't stress bout things that seem big and don't fret about the little things.
Don't stay up worrying about stuff. Give your body and your mind a rest.
Go to sleep when you're tired!
Good night xx]

First blog post

As I lay here in bed, pondering my future, I decided to take a step forward. I have created a blog!
I am wanting to get into making regular YouTube videos about my life, my opinions, outings and random stuff. I figured that opening a blog will allow me to connect to people through a different medium and I will be able to express myself differently to how I would through a video.
I have a few ideas for some blog posts. Mainly opinion posts or review posts, but I think it'd be cool to write a blog post bout the videos I post on YouTube too.  I would like to start writing poetry and rhymes and such which too, will be posted here.
Ah how exciting :)
I'm going to be busy... xx
