I've been in a journaly-writey mood lately, just haven't had the justification. Still don't, but gave up waiting.
I cleaned my room today, so I feel all happy and shiny. Last night I had weird dreams about a girl from high school.
alitsa might remember. Amanda Smith. I dreamed she was some fanciful lawyer-like-person, and came down to Richardson to say hello. Weird, since she and I were never really that great of friends. Either way, it was a good dream, since we uh, caught up...and...stuff.
And now for the WoW talk.
Yesterday my server opened the gates at Ahn Qiraj. There was some gigantic ordeal on the forums before we did it, involving Heaven and Earth and a naked mole rat, but it blew over...ending up with an officer of HnE being blacklisted. :D Not to mention tons of snarky comments from people in the general channels. Those were the most fun, by far.
Anyway, the gates. Tons of level 60s, two level 30s. My sister and I managed to survive the whole thing, though getting to Silithus was another matter entirely. We got trampled on many times by all kinds of different things, but our escort was patient and took good care of us.
The server crashed only once, surprisingly, though our frame rates were quite excruciating.
So, here's some really nice screenshots I took for fun.
!-
Gnome Dance - Okay this one isn't anything to do with Ahn Qiraj, but it's my favorite one. Buncha gnomes (with matching names!) got naked and stalked this poor fella here. Whenever he stopped, they'd form circles around him and dance.
!-
Preparation - When everyone was waiting for the gates to open. Riiiight before the crash. ;)
!-
Beatin' 'em down - Random battle shot
!-
I'm useful! - Me pretending I'm doing damage.
!-
Where's the Crystal? - Right after not being able to find it, Theros was shortly mind controlled by the crystal and forced to attack everyone around him. He barely managed to live through it.
!-
Three's Company - After it all ended. Well, I mean, up to the point where we got hungry/tired and decided to take a break.
I've been slacking when it comes to my Lighting class. Not that I don't enjoy lighting, I'm just entirely too lazy, I think. Can't seem to shake that part of me off, been trying to for about 22 years now to no avail. Is it so bad to be lazy? We're conditioned to say yes, obviously, but I'm starting to think it's not. Then again, it could just be me trying to justify instead face up to it...but meh, can't be bothered.
Spring break is coming up soon, so I get to go home and see my Ed. It's been forever, I still get naggy little worries that she won't have missed me, though. Either way, I'll be muuuuch happier after being able to spend time with her. Not to say that I haven't enjoyed having Baby with me, but being around Ed for such a long time has made it a little hard to adjust on my part.
I bought Mirrormask the other day and watched it. Nobody told me about this movie, about how amazing it was. I fell in love with it and am very happy to have had the random notion of buying a movie I had heard nothing about. That...usually doesn't work out so well.
It's getting harder and harder to keep my attention on this though, so fin.
