Things you find at 5 am
Nothing is as fun as it being 4am (well, 4.30 now) and not being able to sleep. At least my neighbours seem to have quiet down some, they were discussing very loudly and I have no idea why they do that at this time of day. Even more so when it didn't seem to be fighting or anything. Who discusses company stuff loudly at 4am? Really? Me wonders how drunk they are.
What do you do when it is 5 (yes, this post took awhile) and you can not sleep? Well, for me I started going through pictures and screenshots. And lookie, I found this old screenshot from WoW! Slashet himself quit playing ages ago, so I will post this for people to see. This is what happens when people log on drunk. Or in Slash's case... extremely drunk.
This is cut together, cause he did babble for quite some time. Surely, this is mostly funny to gamers. And the "bird" part, would be Slashet transformed into a bat during that years halloween event. I still find it funny. I am a nerd though so that might be why. And btw Flaurence, I got a screenie from when you were drunk aswell!
Neighbours seem to have fallen asleep, or passed out. Same same but different.

I am back again!
So I haven't been writing here for ages but me thinks it is time to start again. First off, I am a good girl! I finally started using the gym again and I feel alot better with myself for it.
More news, well. I been working at Media Markt for two years now but only very little. Enough to get by but not much more than that. Now I got 75% for awhile at least. Not sure how long it will last but it will be wonderful for as long as I have it.
As you already noticed, this is a "catching up" post. So moving on to the ingame world. I left my beloved Gatekeepers. It felt really strange doing it to be honest but since I did not raid with them anyway I did not feel that I belonged anymore. I don't think that a hardcore raiding guild is where you should be if you are casual. I left an evening with like 20 people online, one of them said anything to me. It did make me realise I had absolutely made the right choice.
Returning to Protectorate (much love for them for wanting/letting me back) was like entering a different world. Those guys sure can make you feel appreciated. And since I returned I have had the best time! I have started pvping on my deathknight Gryning and I must say... I really suck at it. It is loads of fun however, me and Thomas play with Sven daily.
I also re-connected with someone I haven't spoken to since december so that feels wonderful. I had not realised how much I had missed him.
This is it for now. I will try to start writing here again, not that I think you have missed me. But still.

Thomas
I put up a link to my husbands blog. He is writing about his WoW adventures, that at the moment aren't all that adventerous unless you count beeing boosted in Wailing Caverns for adventure.
He is re-rolling horde (some people just never make up their minds, now do they?) and tries to update his way to the top.
For the WoW people it might be a fun read, he does look extremely silly after all. And he dies. Alot. A very lot.
Link to his blog is over there ------------------------------------------>

World of Warcraft
Today I have been a very good girl and 8.20 I was down in the gym for a workout. Lets leave it at that. No need to talk about how incredibly un-fit I am. I was a good girl, ok?
So, I said I would talk about my WoW life. I guess I should start with what I played. I started playing Leanei, UD priest on Stormreaver but then me, husband and some friends moved on and went alliance instead, this time on Bloodhoof and that server has been my home ever since. There I made Leylani (later renamed Lani), a human mage. Human because I knew right away I would want to rep grind and that extra bonus was well needed. Almost 2 years later tho I re-rolled to my new priest, Welle, a cute night elf. And bye bye goes the rep grinding. Honestly though, I did reputation grind a lot on Welle aswell but some things, like Cenarion Circle, I refused to do all over again.
So now I got Welle and Lani... oh, you thought that was enough? Of course not! I also have my other priest, or well... third priest Jorja but she is now retired since I find shadowspec very boring! Instead I created Wellani my enhancement shaman. And silly enough that was the name I liked best. Hence the blog, and my msn nick. Last character created was Gryning, a death knight. And so you see, one death knight... one draenei shaman.. I am big with the flavor of the month thing!
As for guilds, I been incredibly lucky. I changed to Welle when I returned to WoW after a 3 month break and stood there with no guild and crap gear. That was when Protectorate found me and took me under their wings. Was there for around a year and we had loads of fun, getting splatted all over the floor and walls in Black Temple and getting burned to charcoal in Mount Hyjal.
However, I was given an opportunity too good to refuse and last summer I joined Gatekeepers. The guild I had wanted to be in since I was supertiny in Silithus and saw them killing dukes. And here I am. I got to where I wanted in WoW, with the guild of my dreams. And now what? Raiding don't hold the same charm for me anymore. All the achievments and hard modes. I do miss the people tho. Both of Protectorate and Gatekeepers and from other guilds aswell.
That's me, with the golden wings. This was taken when Gatekeepers just had killed Yogg Saron for the first time. Things like that did kinda make you feel pretty good about yourself.
Will I return? I don't know yet. Probably? Maybe? Give me a reason good enough and I might. Being bored isn't reason good enough. Seeing Thomas play again I do miss it a bit.
I guess only time will tell.

Games
Thomas is going on and on about WoW. His new character is amazing lvl 2 or something. I wonder if I will let him live long enough to hit 80! As for me, I don't feel the urge.. yet. I probably will sooner or later but right now it's only the people I miss and not the actual game.
I am longing for Diablo III. I want it now now now! I have been longing for Diablo III since I first cleared Diablo II. For me it was Diablo that started my gaming life. I didn't know much about games before. At least not that kind of games, I only knew about games that was about a snake eating little dots or gorillas throwing bomb bananas at each other (hm, I wonder what that game was called). Diablo however opened a new world to me. My little rogue was amazing running around shooting her arrows or saying silly things (Yup, that's a cow alright!) when I clicked on stuff.
And then came Diablo II. And it was huge! First choice there was a sorceress but later on I gave my heart to the assassin. I reinstalled it a few weeks ago and that game is still going strong even tho I seen it all time and time again. And so I sit dreaming about Diablo III. The first videos posted looks amazing but knowing Blizzard it's probably a year in the future still. They would rather let us wait and give us a game worth this wait. I know this, but my patience does not!
Through the years many games have flashed over my monitors. Some (like Warhammer Online) got deleted again pretty fast. Others I loved. Like Heroes of Might and Magic. I played several instalments of that game and loved most of them. However last time I thought they had ruined parts of it by removing the simplicity, too much placing of armies and things like that. Big part of the charm have been that they are funny and interesting yet simple and easy to grasp.
Other games: Warlords II, Age of Empires, Worms, NeverWinter Nights, Serious Sam, Rollercoaster Tycoon, Spore, Civilization and of course... EverQuest!
EverQuest was my ticket into the world of mmorpg and I been stuck ever since. Probably because I had the most amazing kick ass guild! I still miss Forsaken Realm every now and then. We had so much fun together, all those people working together. I don't think non-gamers can understand the community you build within a game when you play together as much as we do (did).
This little pink frog was my lovely EverQuest character. She was ment to be called Jumpa Lot but by the time she was big enough for surname she became Jumpa Sweetbuns and later on Jumpa Panzerfrog when created the Panzer-family. I think we had Panzernuke, Panzertank, Panzerfrog, Panzermonk and a few others.
Thinking about this still makes me smile. I am making myself miss gaming. Damnit!
Time to go solve crosswords me thinks. Will talk about my WoW time some other day.
