Apparently girls DO play WoW!

Since the queue was so short, I did four or five instances on Reed the Paladin today. The first couple were good, some tank pulled all of SM in like three pulls. Alas some DPS pissed him off and he left after two runs. Then I got some other tank, Mr. Tauren Paladin. Some BoE blue boots dropped, not perfect stats (agi/stam), but they were a big upgrade for me anyway, so I needed. He did as well. He won. Oh well, happens, at level 30 it's not like you're going to wear things for long anyway.

Then the party jumped on him. All of them. They told him to give them to me. That he didn't need them, I did.

Buh? He was a paladin too, we both needed, he won. I was fine with that. Happens. My concern at this point was finishing the instance. I want XP a lot more than boots! He ignored them, so they all kept heckling him. I could have spoken up in his defense, but we were almost to the last boss and I didn't want the group to break up before then. (I've seen it happen so many times.) So he pulls the last boss, we kill it, they all insult him one last time and drop. I didn't leave, I had to turn in quests. He stuck around too.



...buh? I have no idea why he thought I was together with any of the others, let alone why he would assume that one of the others was a girl and I was a guy. He actually gave me the boots, which I thanked him for. The line left me scratching my head though. I suppose it was supposed to be an insult? What kind of man am I, letting some uppity woman speak in my defense?

Oddness.

Related: I don't know if bear tanking is still rough in the 30s or I've just only run into sucky ones. Paladins seem to have a lot more control of things at this range.

Not much RP tonight. Had one long scene with someone who wrote nice long posts, but for some reason there was no spark. She seemed really nice OOCly, the character was both nice and interesting ICly, and Thistle would make friends with a rock if given half a chance, but for some reason the two characters just didn't click.

During the scene I did some math. In about two weeks Thistle should have enough gold for his flying mount/flying lessons. I know it's silly to plan that out so closely, but it's fun to calculate how many herbs/day he gets, estimate gold, and all that.

I poked around mount lists and such, trying to find the right flying mount for him (and groaning at the idea of doing jousting dailies yet again), then decided a wind rider is the best thing. Plus they're actually kind of cool looking, I've not really looked at one (let alone rode one) in ages.

Your icon makes me real happy. Jus' sayin'. :3

Yay, I'm glad! I have a few holdovers from my Naruto days. :D

\o/ My Naruto days persist, so it pleases me to see stuff when it pops up. XD

This is my last icon. One of my at-the-time fanfic friends wrote some horrible crack fic about this pairing, so I made an icon for her. We used to torture each other by using it. :P

AMG I REPLIED FROM MY EMAIL SO I DIDN'T SEE THE ADORABLE (AND SWEET) HAKU + ZABUZA ICON. AAAAGH.

I haven't used that one in forever. (Usually animated icons annoy the heck out of me, so it's one of my more avoided ones.) Watching it now though, it still works.

That was my favorite storyline ever, in any anime!

Aaaaah that is a crack pairing. My brain hurts. Too much eyebrow. And.. yeeah. XD Gotta love their whole deal though.

NICE GUY POSE!

NICE GUY POSE!

Ha! I forgot about that. :D

One day, when I have nothing but free time, I want to watch Naruto again from the beginning. It really was an enjoyable series.

[identity profile] prettyredeyes.livejournal.com 2011-11-20 05:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yes! You definitely should. :3 There are a million and one sites that stream it from the beginning, so no lack of places to find it. And the good news is you don't have to watch all 220 episodes of the old series because the last 90 or so are filler. XD

I did that last time my husband went on deployment and will probably do it again. It's a good way to kill time and I find it inspires me artistically and RPly. XD

Ah, that's good! I'd much rather stream it than redownload it all. Hmm, I actually probably have it burned on a CD somewhere. I used to burn all the anime I watched. Hundreds of CDs...

Okay, it's on my short list of things to rewatch! :D

\o/ Woot! :D I will say that if you've not kept up with the recent things in a long while it is very, very good right now.

[identity profile] thistle-chaser.livejournal.com 2011-11-20 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
I'm glad to hear! I stopped watching right before they all got older. Couple years back, I guess it was.

[identity profile] prettyredeyes.livejournal.com 2011-11-20 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Oh man. I know just what was happening right around there. XD Ooooh you're gonna have a lot of fun when you get back to where you were. X3

Eee, good to know! :D
