Checkpoint
I figured there's some people in the dark as to where I am, and my life has become semi-interesting at this point, so allow me to share.
First of all,
I'm in a big of a financial pickle. I was on the road a couple weeks ago, between Grand Island and Kearney, when my car's transmission exploded. I had to get a tow from the interstate to Kearney. I hung out with some friends in Kearney 'till like 9 or so, and I got a ride back. But that's where my car is. They want 1400-1700 dollars to fix it. That, or I need to find a half-ton truck, rent a dolly, and come up with the 102 dollars for the tow and the diagnostic, and another 300 for the storage fee they didn't tell me about until three weeks later.
On top of that, two weeks ago I came down with a case of pneumonia. I missed a lot of work and my medicine ran me another clean hundred. Taxes came in though, and I've got relatives who are willing to help. So my car's getting fixed, and everything should be okay. Still, I couldn't get the fancy things I wanted. Which really isn't all that bad, it's all just novelty anyway.
I AM packing up my shit and moving out of town though. Not far, I'm just going to Kearney. I'm going to live with Holli and work full time. I'm making the move in June. It'll be nice to finally have my own space, and get out of the nest. I've got nothing keeping me in town anyway, so that makes the move all the easier. The hardest part will be leaving my awesome job behind. Apart from that, Jasu's moving on, and David and I hardly hang out anyway. Besides, I'd be more than willing to make the trip back into town to hammer on some games with you, especially when Smash Brothers Brawl comes out.
That's enough of that.
I've gotten into WoW again. My main character was like level 32 when I quit so long ago, and I tried to play Horde, but found it to be disenchanting. So, almost a year later, I'm back into it. I've kicked my Resto druid up to level 51, and spawned a couple more really awesome characters. Particularly, a dwarf warrior I named 'Vanaheim'. The name just seems fitting.
Also, I'm actually willing to play Horde again, simply because of a name. Blood Elves, the new horde race, have racial abilities that let them resist magic, drain magic from enemies and silence them. They have the capability to be Paladins as well, so that puts them in plate mail wielding large heavy things. Using that formula, I developed a name I thought awesome enough to actually play horde again with. So I've been playing my Blood Elf Paladin, Magicide a lot lately.
I've discovered that I am a really awesome healer. O.o Druids aren't healing classes. They're the ultimate jack-of-all-trades class (opposed to the Shaman and the Paladin). But the way you spec them can ultimately determine what they excell at, and as a resto druid, I heal. Obligatory explanation aside, just in case there's folks out there with no clue, I've been running a lot of instances, Sunken Temple and Zul'Farrak.
And I. Fucking. Rock.
I've found myself out-healing holy spec priests. And getting yelled at by the party to let the priest Mainheal. XD That group in particular fell apart, because I rendered the priest useless (because she WAS) and I couldn't mainheal and off-tank at the same time (though try as I may). It takes a little bit more badass (and a lotta more level) to carry a group like that through an instance. But I HAVE 4-manned ZF with all upper 40 characters. I healed that group as well. Jasu's my witness, as he was present at the time.
Haaaa... Also. It is in my opinion that Nicolas Cage can do no wrong, even when he's in a movie that's HORRIBLE (wicker man). Ghost Rider tickled me. I loved it. It was the best movie I've seen in the theater in a while. Although, I never got the chance to see many of the movies that I wanted to. Sidenote, Smokin' Aces also made me a happy person.
Then again, I suppose I'm the kind of person who goes to the theater with the intent to enjoy themselves, rather than be a critic. What a loser, right?
Anyway, That's where I'm at. Dead car, debilitating illness, Rockin' MMO, I'm awesome, and good movies. Cheers.
