Many things, left side, handle it!

I have so many things that I've been doing these last few weeks.  My last post was 2 Mondays ago and life has been rather hectic since then.  The only reason I have time at the moment is that I broke the copy machine at the office and can't do my projects without it!

I am still working on my 2012 in 2012.  I feel a little bit screwed out of time by my husband however.  He keeps sending me stacks and stacks of ore to 1. prospect and 2. use the green quality gems to make jewelry to then disenchant.  (This morning, I had a whole page of mails to do this with.)

However, over the last few nights I've been able to get my baby undead hunter to level 35 and my blood elf warrior to 48.  I also started a new blood elf rogue who is currently level 8 and I had to delete my level 6 orc mage on Blade's Edge because I transferred my 85 to the server.  So what that means is that I'm currently at 1907 levels of my 2012.  I'm 94.78% done.  But I had a huge head start.  Sorry guys!  I think I might be playing the longest of all of you so it's probably only fair that I have that many more levels!!

On my other leveling goal, I have 4 more alts to get to 85.  And I really don't want to reroll a DK on my new server since I'm 1 level away on my old one.  But I'm not sure how I'm gonna get that last level.  It's rather frustrating.  I suppose one night I should just man up, grab the husband and go level.  And then DING and then done.

In other news, in Deathwing's Jaw last week, we found a baby drake.  The Reins of the Blazing Drake dropped and everyone went OMGWTFBBQ.  (Also a Maw dropped!! YAY!  Towa, the other healing druid got it!)  Anyway, our little goblin rogue won the drake and then I took some screenshots of him in Org later.  I'll post them when I have a chance.  Maybe tonight.

And in Heroics, we are down two 3 heroics in Firelands, Baleroc, Alysrazor and of course, Rags.  And for our achievement drakes, we're down to 3 achievements, the Alysrazor one, the Shannox one and the one for kneeling.  (I don't even try for that one. I just stand back.)  So yeah.  I leave tomorrow morning for the weekend and I won't be back until Sunday just before raid so I won't get any of the fun of those this week!

So, yay. Thursday updates!  Woo!

Saturday is Fun Night! Sunday is pretty cool too!

Tonight was raid (as usual) and we all joined together at the appointed time.  We started in Dragon Soul, and got Heroic Morchok.  That was fun.  We almost had him once but he kept throwing his red crystal towards the back of the raid, so we ended up pulling some trash towards the beginning (waaaaay off to the side) and wiped.  However, we got him down the next time and it was awesome and fun.  I got my first heroic piece (the neck) which made me really happy because I'm a huge dork.

We spent sometime working on Heroic Warlord.  Dear lord, that was rough.  I need to do some research on that.  This will be homework.

We also got Minutes to Midnight (achievement on Ultraxion) and Ping Pong Champion (achievement on Warlord).  I think half the guild got the Taste the Rainbow on Yor'sahj that night as well.

Anyway, we cleared through Warmaster, and then had some lag issues for one tank and healer so we called the raid and went to 25 man Naxx for KZ and Saph.  Before that, however, somehow, my guild leader, one of our officers and  our DK spent like 5 minutes chasing me around the deck of the ship.  I laughed so hard that I cried.  The GM and officer both play orcs and they were chasing me with no pants on.  Then our rogue (who is a goblin) was also nude and running around.

I ran them around and around and around the ship, up to the top, then all the way to the back.  It was so fun. Really silly but fun.  I have pictures that the husband took while I was afk.  Apparently they tried to snuggle me.  Or something.  Honestly, I think the pictures look worse then they are.

Anyway, we went and killed KZ and Saph on 25 (me as my mage), then went to OS 10 for the drake (me as my mage) and then did Ruby Sanctum 10 Heroic (me as my druid).  And then, we went and killed Maly 10 man (me on my druid).  So yeah, good times.

On Sunday, we gathered up, finished up Dragon Soul and headed into Firelands.  (I healed Spine but dpsed Madness, then continued to dps through Firelands, until we got to Domo and Rag.)  We got the achievement for Beth'tilac which was a freaking nightmare since our mage kept disconnecting.  So it was me and a shaman on the bottom to kill the spiderlings and I was OOM in like 5 seconds I swear.  Rawr!

So we moved along through Firelands and people picked up transmog gear and other gear.  And I got my heroic shoulders off Domo.  So I have heroic boomkin shoulders!  Woo!

By the time we finished raid, we were all really tired.  So 3 of us finished up the guild dungeon challenges for the week and got us to level 11.  Tonight, I'm going to play my warrior.  Who I've neglected horribly for the past few weeks.  This weekend was another weekend of 'only being around for raids' since I had errands to run all day on Saturday and then on Sunday the husband and I drove to my mom's new house and helped paint the kitchen and living room.  (Which is like half the freaking house.)  At this point, my hands hurt so bad from holding the paint brush I'm amazed I can type and hold a mouse!

And I'd like to take this opportunity to tell my one of my best friend's congratulations on his normal Madness kill!  Yay!!!! :D

Witty Title Here

This is mostly just an update on how things are going in my WoW life.  So, be warned.

On Friday, we had our usual "Farming" guild meeting.  Except that I had farmed up a f-ton of herbs over the past week and filled up our potions and flasks.  Plus, the week before, we'd farmed up a ton of fishies.  So, we farmed exp for the guild by chain running heroics.  So, we got into Vent and chatted while running the HoT dungeons over and over.  My little mage now only has to get rid of all her spirit pieces.  (They were so so so much better than what I had, I took them!)

Then, I spent Saturday at a real life event that kept me out of the house until around 5pm Pacific Time.  Our raid is at 6pm, so I logged on and got ready for raid.  We ended up taking two hours of shots at Heroic Morchok.  We were 3 healing me with me on one side with our pally tank (aka husband), our shadow priest, our rogue and our warlock.  It was difficult but I really feel like we can do this.  I think we got some bad RNG sometimes but overall, I think if we just get things under control, we'll be okay.

After 2 hours, we flipped it back to normal (as we did want to do a full clear) and proceeded to one shot all the bosses.  I want to say that the only deaths we had were on Ultraxion.  Pretty proud of us there.  We finished up DS early (even when with 2 hours of wipes we had) and grabbed a couple people and headed to ICC 10 man.  (I got to take my mage!)  And went through there on Heroic, getting a couple of the acheesements too.  We started with the Frost Wing and then ended with the Frost Wing, since 2 or 3 of us were falling asleep.

Then it was Sunday.  Husband and I woke up, got some breakfast and logged on, only to get asked if we wanted to go do Northrend Heroic dungeons for guild achievements.  So, we headed to ToC and worked our way around.  We managed to do almost all the achievements (except for the achievements were it's "Do X or do Y but not both").  And I got my red proto drake.  (I was 3 achievements away.)

I ended up having to go lay down with a headache before raid but when it was raid time, we started out trying to do some of the achievements.  We almost had the Beth one but we killed one of the drones on the bottom on accident.  Then we went and tried to kill Shannox on Heroic, that didn't work so we flipped it back to normal, and moved on to Lord Rhyolith.  We killed him on Heroic and moved onto Bird lady.  We didn't get any achievements or Heroics from her or Baleroc (but other's got 'Share the Pain', I think?)  But then we downed Staghelm on Heroic.  Then it was off to Rag and we downed him in a couple shots.  And, husband and I got our Avengers of Hyjal.  (Which puts me 1 shy of the Exalted title.)

Anyway.  That was my weekend.  I don't feel like I got a lot of WoW time, since I was really busy outside of the game.  But it was so much fun to do all that.  And the best part?  The guild got level 10 yesterday!  Gonna see if I can round up people to do the BC dungeons tonight.  Those level the guild nicely too.

Also, I am doing this for a guildie, and I figure I'll ask you guys too.  I live very close to an AM/PM.  If you want the WoW cups, please let me know and we'll work out a way to get them to you!

Elders and Leveling

Today, the husband and I are working on getting our Elders on two of our other characters.  While I'm not 100% sure of his motivation, my motivation is the lantern pet for my main.  We just finished up Kalimdor and the related Cata/dungeon elders, so we started working on Eastern Kingdom.  We started in Booty Bay and headed north.

Now, despite my 'Xtreme Leveling', I don't do a lot of leveling via RDF.  However, I did a lot of dungeon running back in the day when you had to find a group on your server and walk there.  (Because no one had mounts!)  So, when I got to the Sunken Temple elder, boy was I surprised!!  The instance portal is like RIGHT THERE!  And there is no 'Which way do we go first'!!  It's just there!  I was very surprised with those changes.

In other news, I still have some sort of plague.  It hasn't spread to the husband (yet) but it totally snuck up on me!  One of the things it's done is turned my sense of direction off.  I'm totally running into walls, mountains and shit.  More then usual!

Also, in guild searching news, it appears that the husband and I have found a new home.  We've been speaking to a specific guild since Friday and I'm very excited about it.  He seems to be excited too, but you never can tell with husband.  We're making plans to take our heirlooms when we transfer so we can level up new characters.  We don't have the money to transfer all our toons.  (That's $250 just for my 85s/almost 85s!)  I'll probably transfer my priest in a few months.  She has some things on her that I don't want to give up!

Seeing people leaving and going about their business else where is hard.  Even knowing that I'm doing the same is hard.  I'm not good at saying good bye to things.  However, I am not completely leaving.  Madoran has been my home for over 5 years now.  However, there is always RealId.  So at least I can keep in touch with my friends that way!  Of course, those people who don't use it, well that will be sad.  I'll miss my little rogue friend.  She is amazing and I love her.  Been playing with her for years now!

While I was writing this post, my shaman got her Elders title.  Only 6 more world events to go until she gets her drake.  Hehehe!  (This will never happen, I hate Children's Week too much!!)

I've been trying to find an ending for this post for two days.  So I'll just leave it with this: tomorrow I'll have an update on my 2012 in 2012.  With one thing and another, I haven't been able to go look at all my characters, nor add my new characters to my list.  (This is because of our server search, we have a couple different toons on a few other servers now.)  So look for that!
