Day 19 – In your bags/bank

My bags and bank are a disaster.

Right now, I have a full kitty set in my bank along with many other old shoulders, hats and tier tokens I've picked up over old raids we've done.  I also have tons of holiday items that I've gotten from doing each meta achievement for the purple protodrake.  Add in 2 bag of current gems and 1 bag of current enchanting materials and it's just a mess. 

Okay, so maybe it doesn't look messy right now.  But I did just spend some time cleaning it up.  (AKA sending everything to my bank alt.)

I have a bank alt that has a 5 tab guild bank plus his bags and his bank.  All my low level crap goes there.  I have a tab for enchanting, a tab for crafting mats, a tab for mining, a tab for gems and stones and questing mats, a tab for runecloth/netherweave and another tab for random crap.

My bank is semi organized right now because I just put a ton of stuff up on the auction house. 

In my bags I have 1 bag full of food, drink, potions, flasks and things like that.  I have two empty bags, 1 bag that's half full of PVP equipment and moonkin gear and then half a bag of random crap like fishing poles, hearthstones, etc.

At least I have close to 3 bags empty!!

Shared Topic: Identity & Affiliation

How does your character define themself? What part of their identity is most important to their personality and self-presentation?

In meatspace, we have so many affiliations, it's anyone's guess whether we consider ourselves a tuba player first, or a student, a Gators fan, a New Yorker, a mother, a nerd, a liberal. Our identities are comprised of so many different aspects of liHow does your character define themself? What part of their identity is most important to their personality and self-presentation?

In game, there are less game-related ways to identify.
You can identify as:

• your class - your spec
• your race - a particular subgroup (Mag'har, Wildhammer)
• your faction - a faction other than Horde/Alliance

**************************************************

Karegina is very much a resto druid first and foremost.  When I first made her, I made her to be a healer for Vanilla raids.  I never got her past level 32 or so, but she did spend a good deal of time in Warsong Gulch, healing the flag carriers.  (She did it so much she got her Scout title.)  Now, 3 expansions later, Kare is still a healer.  She's dabbled with tanking and melee dps, as well as caster dps but she will always be a healer in her heart.

She was a tree and would spend every moment she wasn't on a mount or in bird form, in tree form.  As other people have mentioned, when Blizzard removed perma-tree form, a part of me and a part of Kare died.  I actually would get upset when we'd have other tree druids in guild because damnit, I was the tree druid, not them.  (Stupid I know.)  

Secondly, she's a tauren.  Her loyalty is to the Cenarion Circle first, then to her tribe, THEN to the Horde.  There are things that the Horde does that she does not approve of at all, but her chieftain has led her there so she will follow.  

My other characters don't have as much personality as Karegina.  I am glad I don't roleplay in WoW, I don't think I'd be able to separate myself enough to tell a story with her.  She and I are too entwined now.  

Day 18 – Your favourite outfit

I don't really have a favorite outfit but I do have pieces of equipment that has made me happy over the years.

I love my current shoulders, the feathers that molt.  Mmmm, it's so cool.

My favorite hat was the tier 8 druid hat.  It was just a crescent moon.  I loved it.

I don't have a favorite weapon or any other item.  Mostly because I just notice the hat and the shoulders on my character.

Day 17 – Your favourite spot (in game or outside it)

My favorite spot in game is probably Valley of Wisdom.  It's where I spend most of my time.  I am always there if I'm online and not doing my dailies.  My guildleader calls it my 'cave', which is a throwback to BC and Wrath. I was always in the banks and they started getting referred to as the 'cave'.  I loved that, since in BC I was a bear half the time.  Made me happy.

My favorite spot out of game is probably my bed.  It's soft and comfortable and safe.  When I don't feel well, or am sad, I crawl into my bed and snuggle my frog ruggle.  (My best friend made it for me!)  My husband keeps the world away from me and makes things safe for me.  My cat climbs all over me while I'm in there and purrs and meows.  It's awesome.

My Gaming Set up

I have been very interested in gaming mice and keyboards for the last couple of years.  However, I've never had the money to put together anything beyond a simple keyboard and mouse setup.  I did try to use a friend of mine's old keypad but it was too difficult for me.  So this is my current set up.

It's very simple and as you can see I'm using a old, big ol' honky keyboard.  I love my mousepad however, even if sometimes it causes my drawer to not come out easily!

My husband's is a little different.  He has a Wolfgang Warrior keypad thing, a crappy keyboard and the same mouse that I have.  See below.

My husband doing Tol Barad.  ACTION SHOT!

He loves it and has always encouraged me to go out and find a new keyboard or mouse that I can easily use. However, I'm not sure what I want.

My current mouse has a button right where my thumb is that I can use to autorun or use to dispel harmful effects.  I love it!  I hear there are special mice that have 10 or more buttons but I'm at a lose to figure out how to use them.  My best friend got one of those Razer Naga's (I think it's called) but I don't know if she ever used it.

I don't do a lot of mouse over macros.  I prefer to push my buttons for my spells, I know that's not the 'best' way but it's comfortable for me.

I wonder if she'd loan me that mouse if she's not actively using it.  It might be interesting to try.
