Elation.

 

Wednesday, the Reins of the Blazing Drake dropped. I was having a terrible, no good, very bad night... and it showed in my performance. Not feeling as if I deserved it, I sighed and rolled, expecting to lose...

...I rolled a 97. As soon as I heard "Grats, Aesa" on Vent, I completely flipped my shit! I screamed so loud, I made my sister's dog go nuts, barking her furry head off. I am still in disbelief! Needless to say, my bad mood did a complete 180, haha.

This is Undying Resolution's second Drake; the first went to our fabulous bear tank, Ariano.

MEME: The Sixth Son of a Sixth Son

Yay for memes! I have always found them fun to complete, so when I was tagged by Effy for my first WoW blogging one, I squee'd. :-)

The Rules:

Go into your image folder.

Open the sixth sub-folder and choose the sixth image.

Publish the image! (And a few words wouldn’t hurt, though I dare say I couldn’t stop a blogger from adding a few words of their own.)

Challenge six new bloggers.

Link to them.

Since Derp Kn00b is a WoW related blog, I used my Screenshot folder!

I chose the sixth screen shot from 2011, which is the year I really buckled down and started playing Aesadonna as a main and the sixth from 2012 because well, I like screen shots! For added authenticity, I then opened the sixth sub-folder under my image folder and added the sixth image to this post. Moar pictures = moar better?

As for tagging... uh. *scratches forehead* How about this: if you would like to do the meme, just do it! (And link me to your post so I can see YOUR screen shots!) :-D

Littlest Pet Shop!

Here is another major achievement I can cross off of my bucket list! I am thrilled, to say the least; the Celestial Dragon has been my dream pet since its introduction.

In Happier News!

When I logged into WoW this morning, Beef had a Swift Lovebird waiting in my mailbox! *cheesy grin* It is an in-game tradition for him to send me a shiny during Love is the the Air, stemming back from when we were wee little level 40 Blood Elves and he surprised me with a Pink Hawkstrider for V-Day '07. (You may know those elves as the Draenei Duo Nathadan and Fiannah. We go way back!)

Ups and Downs.

I am... disappointed.

Probably have little right to admit that, but, well, I am only human. Our attendance for ICC was so poor last week that we had to bump the difficulty back down to regular. Do not get me wrong, I am glad that we were able to run the raid at all and I am forever grateful for the few who show up each week to support the guild, and well, me. But running regulars just means we are going to be stuck in ICC-hell for longer. In heroic, I tend to get anywhere from 6 to 9 shards. This week? I got 3. That is a pretty damn big difference. The kind of difference that will tack on many additional weeks.

I do not begrudge those who have real life obligations and can genuinely only show up to our progression raids -- life should always come before gaming. I, however, do frown upon people who showed up for the first Lich King kill, who are regularly on WoW in their downtime, and then fucked right off. If you are not going to support the guild, get the hell out of our old-world raids and back to trade chat. Harsh? Maybe, but I am not doing this for me. I do not plan on keeping or selling the shiny trinkets for my profit, and really, what is an outdated orange stat-stick but bragging rights? This one is for Undying Resolution.

So this is my plea to my guildies who have a few hours to kill: please, pretty please, we in the Nerfed Content Group would be grateful for your presence. The more of you that show up = more shards, more shots at achievements, and more happy people flying around on shiny skeletal drakes. We cannot do the harder achievements, such as the two Lich King oriented ones, without a nicely padded group.

I am still not 100% sure on how I am going to distribute the items from the chest, but I want to reward those who have stuck by, through it all. It sucks that we do not receive a guild-wide reward, like Lil' Tarecgosa, and my biggest fear is that I am going to end up disappointing someone. *sigh* I have been tossing around the idea of a raffle; each time you show up and stay 'til the end, you get your name placed in a drawing? *shrug* If anyone has any idea how to fairly distribute the items, shoot me a comment, forum PM, or an in-game mail. Keyword: fair. Playing favourites is not what I am about.

Current Shard Count: 18/50.

I am not the only guildie in need, either. Do not forget that on Monday nights, we run 25m Ulduar to get Mindalen her heal-y mace legendary. This past week, Ulduar was cancelled due to the lack of attendance. That is so not cool, y'all. Let us all help her get her shiny orange stat-stick and the guild another Legendary acheesement! Anyone into transmog, Ulduar is a fabulous place to pick up interesting gear. I wear a full set from Uld. ;-) And we do Algalon each week, so come and get your Astral Walker titles! Bring your alts, bring your (approved) friends... just show up and help out!
