Tidewalker dead in 1 shot. That is all.

Mr. T (and his night elf mohawk?)

Well, I didn't get my baby crocolisk pet today. Guess that's not to be expected on the first day of a new patch, anyways.

I did, however, run Magisters Terrace (the new 5 man instance) not once, but twice today. The first time as kitty dps, the second as bear tankage. Coming in the next few days will be my thoughts on the two different roles inside the instance.

Quests leading into MrT (as it's called on my server, at least) award an epic gem, and grant access to the ability to run MrT on heroic. I picked up a Bright Crimson Spinel as my quest reward. The last boss, Kael'Thas Sunstrider, also drops epic quality items, even on normal mode. My first run through, he dropped Cloak of Blade Turning which my party graciously let me have. I'll use it for tanking, along with my Gilded Thorium Cloak as well as PVP when I do arenas/battlegrounds.

I also did the fishing quest today where you have to go catch a baby crocolisk, I cought him on my second cast, which I've heard is pretty good. A fellow guildie cast over 50 times unsuccessfully. Didn't get my baby crocolisk pet, did however pick up a Weather-Beaten Fishing Hat which is quite lovely. Will be nice to not have to pack lures with me when I go fishing.

All in all, a good day.

Also...

The baby crocolisk pet will be mine. or else.

The Intarwebs will never believe this!

Heeeere we go!

Ratsy, plz talk to BRK to collect your cool points :)

The change was, in fact, an updated kill list for AC, and a BIG CONGRATS on downing Doom Lord Kazzak it is! AC's movin up the progression ladder again!

I know I promised you all some more top 10's lists, but, I've been feeling kind of blog-listless lately (haha pun, did you see that? FIO BEWARE! LOL, list-less) {also, apparently I need sleep, because *groan* I'm starting to LOL in my blog, sigh.} So, anyways, here's your chance (Yes, again, Ratsy, this means you, since I think you're the only one that reads my drivvel). It's readers choice week, you email me and tell me what you want me to write about. WoW related, RL related, whatever the case might be, and I'll do it.

That's turkeyfroggy AT gmail DOT com. Alternatively, drop by the Drenden server and send in game mails to Kelektra. That way I can post screenshots of your questions, HAHAHAHA...

Plz forgive me while I go gorge myself on 2.4 info/quests/yada.

*giggle*

10 BRK cool points (yeah, i'm giving out brk's points now, so what? :P) to the first person who can tell me what's new over there >>>>>

Turn off that racket you damn kids!

Firstly, Happy Belated St. Patricks day :)

Secondly, it's Tuesday, I'm off, and WoW is in maintenance. sigh.

Started my new position at work yesterday. Think I had four customers over the course of my 5 hour shift. Oh well, business should pick up shortly once it becomes common knowledge that there is a wireless specific sales agent in the store. Oh, and once I get my business cards, too, I suppose. At least my manager is letting me juggle the systems and paperwork into a system that will work better for my OCD filled brain, hehe.

Hubby's happy to be back at work, still really sore and swollen now that the cast is off, but at least he's not stuck in the house anymore. And there was supper ready for me when I got home from work last night. Oh happy day.

In other bits of cool news, finally FINALLY sold the Camaro, so, now we don't have any vehicles at all, but we're also freed up of a lot of debt to go ahead and get something new. We'd been looking at a 2008 Toyota Tundra, but I think we're going to have to re-budget a little and maybe find something a little less expensive.

Make sure you all stop by BRK's blog and wish him a Hippo Birdy. He's old, you know, so make sure you yell.

And now, oooh, pretty pretty WoW bits! lol

10 WoW Items I love to bits

Dimensional Ripper - Area 52
Badge of Tenacity
Orb of Deception
Festive Purple Dress
Sheen of Zanza
Mojo
Terestian's Stranglestaff
Tome of Arcane Domination
Enigma Robes
Dartol's Rod of Transformation

The above are in no means in any order of preference, I love them all, and I love them all equally, whether it be for looks, for purpose, for fun or for otherwise.

Edit: to avoid confusion, yes, I have had (or still have) all of the above items :)

Many Apologies

I know my posts have been short and to the point in the last few days, I've been working a lot, as per usual.

Lonn got his cast off today, 80 days after the accident, he's happy, he gets to go back to work tomorrow! I'm happy! I don't have to cook supper anymore!

Monday Mar 17 I'm starting a new position at work, so I'll be doing some homework in the next few days to prepare for that. Huzzah for promotions :)

Coming soon to a blog near you: More 10's posts.

G'night folks.

WOOHOO AGAIN!

2 in 2 days people. AC downed High Astromancer Solarian tonight for a guild first :) Congrats on AC for now being 2/4 in Tempest Keep!

WOOHOOOOO!

AC downs Fathom-Lord Karathress! Congrats on being 4/6 in Serpentshrine Cavern! WOOOO!

Oh you did NOT just do that.

Pet Peeves and How I Hates Them

1) People who tell you how to do something and then, just minutes later, do it incorrectly (according to their method).
2) Parents who let their children run wild in public locations.
3) When people call me by my full first name.
4) Being called babe, baby, hey you, or 'girl'
5) (here's your typical pet peeve) Old granny drivers! (especially my own grandma... oi)
6) IF I allow someone to borrow a book from my extensive library, and it comes back dog eared, with a broken spine... OMG that bothers me.... all of my books are in pristine condition and I EXPECT them to stay that way... I don't lend out my books very often.
7) People who play favourites.
8) When I ask for no ice in my drink, I mean: When you bring me my drink, it had best not have ice. SO many times... grrr...
9) When I ask a question to someone, specifically, and they do not answer. Even tho they were looking directly at me when I asked them.
10) People who will use any excuse to get out of doing something when they know it is their responsibility.

Yay! You like me!

10 Factions I'm Exalted with

Going to split this up by character, because, even though I'm exalted with more than 10, I'll just list them all, for fun.

Kaeras:
1) Exodar
2) Stormwind

Hyria:
3) The Aldor

Kelektra:
4) Stormwind
5) Cenarian Expedition
6) Honor Hold
7) Kurenai
8) Netherwing
9) Ogri'la
10) Sporeggar
11) Lower City
12) Sha'tari Skyguard
12) The Scryers
13) The Sha'tar
14) Argent Dawn
15) Keepers of Time
16) The Violet Eye

Makes me feel bad for poor Hyria, actually. Since she's been with me since pretty much day one of my serious playing. Yet, she's only exalted with one faction, the Aldor, and that's only because Kelektra did all the farming for the Marks of Sargeras and Fel Armaments.

Then again, Kaeras is only exalted with Stormwind because I wouldn't have her riding around on an elephant. Draenei or not, broken looking legs, or not, there was not going to be an elephant. So, she got a horse.

And Kel? Kel just kinda went crazy with the rep grinding... And still is. My next goal for her is to finish up Consortium ( about 4k till exalted) and ALL of the Alliance factions (various reputations here ranging from honoured to revered). Then she'll move on to Timbermaw Hold and Zandalar Tribe (both of whom she's revered with). Crazy? Probably.

I Thought it was Interesting

When I was a little girl, my mother used to read to me when I was getting ready for bed, much like a lot of mothers might do, I suppose. The difference is, when I was about 3 years old, I started reading to my mother when it was time for me to go to bed. Not kidding, either, there are those kids who will have a book read to them so many times that they memorize what's going on. This was not the case with me. Mom would pick up a new book I'd never seen before, and I'd start reading it to her. Not the dictionary or Grey's Anatomy or anything fancy like that, but those old hardcover Disney books, stuff like that. Easy words needed for a three year old :P

10 Books/Authors I've read that I absolutely love

1) The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (and anything by Tolkien, really)
2) Anything by Patricia Cornwell (it's hard to pick just one!)
3) Little Women - Louisa Mae Alcott
4) I'm lumping these all into one entry, because they're all related - Warcraft: War of the Ancients Trilogy: The Well of Eternity, The Demon Soul, The Sundering - Richard A Knaak. Also, Warcraft: Day of the Dragon (Richard A Knaak), Warcraft: Lord of the Clans (Christie Golden), Warcraft: The Last Guardian (Jeff Grubb)
5) Anything by John Grisham
6) Harry Potter[s] - JK Rowling
7) Anything by Terry Pratchett
8) Anything by Mercedes Lackey
9) A new favourite of mine is to find any book under the title of "The Gospel According to", recently I've read "According to Disney, According to Harry Potter, According to Tolkien, and According to The Simpsons" all are fantastic reads. I recommend them highly.
10) And okay, I know these technically aren't books with lots of words in them, but I LOVE the Magic Eye books. I don't know if many are being published anymore, but you can find knockoffs in lots of different places.

Well there ya have it. Can you tell what kind of reading interests me most? Also, I'm always looking for new stuff to read, so if you've got some suggestions, let me know!

Why do I do this to myself...

10 Quirky things everyone needs to know about Me

1) You will never, ever see me wearing 2 socks that match, ever.
2) I'm right handed, can't do anything at all that is left hand dominant, however, when playing cards, I hold my hand in my left hand.
3) I have to sleep on the left side of the bed.
4) I'm a vegetarian
5) When preparing a plate of food, I take absolutely forever, because I will not eat something if it's touched another thing on my plate (sectioned plates ftw here, ppl!)
6) I have been known to buy/receive a new novel and read it upwards of 3-4 times in a row, just to make sure I don't miss anything.
7) I'mhay uentflay inhay igpay atinlay
8) I've got mild O.C.D., this applies mainly to the food thing, and to organizing my pencils and pens so that all tips are upwards, in colour coded order, also, all cups in my cupboards must be facing the same direction. There's more... but...
9) I used to be into graphitti, and pretty darn good at it too.
10) I absolutely abhor the colour pink.

Lodging

There are many places in the world of Azeroth, and Outlands, that will put a character into a rested state. Most of these are major cities, like Ironforge, Stormwind, Shattrath, etc.... When logging out of the game, it is best to log your character in an Inn, which can also be found in any major city, as the act of logging out in an inn will provide you with more "rested bonus" than, for example, logging out on the bridge between the bank and AH in Ironforge.

However, once your character hits 70 and doesn't need to worry about logging out in an inn for rested bonus, your possibilities become endless. Here is my list of the 10 places I always seem to find myself logging out of the game.

1) Scryer or Aldor bank mailboxes; usually on the right-hand side.
2) PVP battlemasters.
3) Ironforge Auctionhouse; also usually the auctioneer off to the right.
4) Stormspire Spare Parts Dealer Najeeb
5) on top of the fountain in front of the bank in SW
6) Stormwind Auctionhouse attic (requires some wall walking)
7) In the air on my Gryphon wherever I'm farming
8) the return portal location in Shattrath
9) Ironforge bank mailbox
10) Hearth'd back to whatever location I've set my Hearthstone to.

March Madness

Back in February I made a promise to myself that I would post at least once a day in March. This promise was made when I was only working 15-25 hours a week. Now, at the end of February, I'm working 35+ hours a week, and just yesterday pulled an 11 hour shift... IN RETAIL. WTF. Hence why there was no March 1'st post from me.

So hopefully what is to come in the next month will be a once a day post of a 10's list, with other, less drab, more relevant to randomness posts intersperced in between. Or, who knows, you might all find yourself going "I wonder what she's gonna 10 about today!" Probably not, I'm really just kidding myself, but there ya go; it's early and I have another 9 hr day in front of me.

Because I've already screwed up and missed my March 1 deadline, I'm going to put today's 10 list in a different post. HAHA! beat the system there, didn't I, that's two posts today :P
