WoW = no life

Ok - need to vent in a quiet space about this fucking PoS game.

Since the expansion, been workinng my ass off to please people, I knew this would happen, since it's totally something I always do to myself. Pleasing people and over extending myself. So I was wondering if upon release of the expansion I should just stop. Stop it alltogethere and leave it behind. It would have saved me the money to buy the addition and then also the countless hours of playing and the equally countless hours of once healthy social life.

Now, I'm playing my ass off, and I find myself at a crossroads where inferior priests are getting the same gear as I have, just because they managed to do an instance or two. I remember back in the day where you had a peice of armor from here and nother from there and if you traveled enough you could collect what you wanted. It seems now that I'm getting screwed. I wanna say that there are fewer instances, but really there aren't. Perhaps there are fewer "lvl70" ones. as some may be "lvl68" or wtvr. Who knows, they screwed up the instances in teh expac as well.

Right now on a bit of a grind for rep through instancing.. but once I've done that, as I'm instancing almost as a full time occupation, what will there be left to do? By then I should also have the gear I want from the instances I would have run, siince the ones that have anyhting left are the ones I have rep yet to get - soo I guess that works out. But at the same time, it's barely an upgrade from that I have, if not only for being better geared toward my playstyle.

Not to mention the people I'm running with. It seems if I'm not running with 'my A team' people are suprisingly childish. And, not to say I don't adore my friends, but they aren't a perfect grp makeup either. Although, I suppose since the expansion, it's hard to say what exactly that would be. It's like every instance is made for it to be hard for every grp makeup, at least for a set amount of pulls, or a certain boss.

I would really like for some of the tailors to get some of the whitemend patterns for me to be able to have them to be a bit better off in terms of healing gear, but seems no one's putting the time in, or at least that's kinda how I feel, since no one has them yet, or if they do, they sure as hell aren't speaking up. And not to mention, the lack of people running instances in general, which are going to need to get their asses in hear if they want those primal nethers to make the gear. At least if I could run, get the nethers and then give them to them, I would already be a ste in the right direction, but I have to hope someone will put the effort into it for me, and that doesn't seem likelly to happen.

Why does it feel that everyone is against me and the actual game itself is being a pain in my ass and being hard for me to get thigns done? Wondering how hard it would be for me to get my tailoring all the way up and be able to make the gear msyelf. Slowly becoming a avenue I wanna look into. Been storing away some cloth, and lotus can help on low lvl cloths too, which leaves the middle ground - we'll see how that goes, since I remember runeC going for like 2g/stack, but that may have gone up since the expac, as it may be in lesser supply and slightly more demand.

Ok - back on vent, feeling better.

Midterm death

Well, didn't think the last one posted, so I lost hope in this blog thing, but it seems it had and now I guess I can post another.

I don't get sick often, but when I do it's usually as a result of prolonged stress and poor physical maintenance, ie; not eating, sleeping, keeping hydrated, leaving the house, wtvr. This usually happens once or twice a year and I feel like the living dead for a week or two and it's pretty hardcore. Having done some very rough midterms and then jetting off to MA to visit Joe and then comming back and having my stats midterm, I had my plate full and needless to say.. there was some neglect, and now I'm surely paying for it.

Worst part is that now I'm thinking I should get a job, and how the hell am I supposed to stay motivated and present myself well if the inside of my head is rotting and leeking out my nose?f

Speaking of which, this trip to Boston was amazing; I really had a great time. There were some periods of low effficientcy, which irritated me at the time, but honestly, not a huge deal at all. Joe had a lot of shit going on and I was well aware of that when I signed up. I can only hope I managed to keep him in good spirits while I was there and that he enjoyed himself, if even for a short while.

BUT - OMG, no wonder americans are said to be so fat. I couldn't get over how I couldn't escape deep fried food anywhere I went. Allbeit, amazing deep fried food, but damit ! I must have gained like 15 pounds in the week I was down there.

Have to say that one of my pet peves was that I wasn't able to try on tank tops. Why? I have no fucking clue. Think in the time I was there I was only really able to try one or two on. Seems they are so freakishly kootie free there that undershirts are a no-no in the change room. I don't understand.. but wtvr. Having a rather difficult time trying to find some that fit really well to start off with, I wasn't about to just buy them and deal with it later either.

Saw a Haute Couture exhibition at the MFA in Boston. It reinspired me to be fashionable and want to make others fashionable as well. To be standing in front of garments that were seen on runways in Milan or Paris, made my people who had spent thousands of hours embroidering and pinning, cutting and sewing, dresses that were creativity in it's purest form, it was surreal. Standing feet away from a Lacroix dress or a Dior bustier, I was realy just awe struck. Heh - sitting here thinking about it, smirking ot myself. It was great.

hmm - bored now.
