Okay, brain. If you don't want me to stab you with a chopstick, I suggest you give the bad dreams a break. Once in a while? Fine. Every single stinking night? You're overdoing it!

Last night it was [livejournal.com profile] mallen, [livejournal.com profile] merrkitty (who could turn into a cat...), and myself driving into New York City for a HP con. (I must have been still living in NY at the time, because it only took 1-2 hours to get there in [livejournal.com profile] mallen's truck.) Once we got to NY, both of them vanished. Time passed, the con's last event let out (I never even got into the con), and it was getting dark. No [livejournal.com profile] mallen = no ride home. And [livejournal.com profile] merrkitty liked being her cat-self too much, and I was worried a hawk might have eaten her. (Ha ha, yes. Because the hawk population in NYC is oh so high!) I ended up deciding I needed to call my mother to drive into the city and pick me up... only to discover that [livejournal.com profile] mallen still had all our money. I didn't even have change for the pay phone.

Bah.

WoW: Man, I'm so happy I logged back on there last night! The whole night rocked! I went from barely into 23 to nearly 24! (I'm too high to level once a day anymore -- so sad!) I would have hit 24 if I hadn't run out of ammo...

I found a perfect spot to XP: Just into Ashenvale, coming from the Barrens, is a lake. Around it are those elemental things, and all were 2-4 levels higher than me. 2 levels higher than me is a tad lower than I would like, but those in the 3-4 levels above me range were just perfect. (And any of them were better than the ones I were fighting in the South Barrens earlier that night: My level or lower.) And the best part about the spot? Almost no other aggro around, so I could tag an ele without trouble, pull it back to the path, and kill it there.

Usually I go through 500-600 bullets in one XP sitting, so I carry 1,100 bullets to make sure I'll never run out (double the most I've ever used should have been safe!), but I actually shot all 1,100 last night. I was so close to leveling! 20 minutes per the titan bar thingie! But no ammo = have to stop.

The only downside of fighting these ele thingies was that their drops sucked. Just a tiny bit of money on each one -- items were very few and far between... other than one! The night before I had tried to buy new shoulder armor at the AH, but was outbid... but it dropped from one of these eles! Ha! Now I no longer look like I'm wearing football shoulder pads made out of wooden slats. (Now it looks like I have two dead, furry animals strapped to my shoulders, but that's better than wooden football shoulders!)

I really, really wish I knew why people insisted upon running up and hitting a mob I'm fighting. And I wish they'd stop, because it kills my XP. I'm using a gun, people, that requires that I stand a little bit away from the fight. That does not mean that I'm in trouble! You don't have to "save" me from the mob my pet is ripping to pieces! (I'm going to assume that they're doing it to try to help, not because they're all assholes.)

*rolls* How totally fitting. Because hey, an 8 hour downtime after a 10 hour downtime just wasn't enough! They had to toss in a 3 hour downtime the same day... and then extend it for another hour!

S-E, you suck. Seriously.

Edit, taken from [livejournal.com profile] zubis's LJ:

Ha ha. S-E sucks, and the Better Business Bureau agrees:

Square-Enix's Business Rating: F

We strongly question the company’s reliability for reasons such as that they have failed to respond to complaints, their advertising is grossly misleading, they are not in compliance with the law’s licensing or registration requirements, their complaints contain especially serious allegations, or the company’s industry is known for its fraudulent business practices.


Link.

Edit, again:

Lest you think that all MMORPG companies would get a low rating, Blizzard (makers of WoW) got a "BB": BB: A high rating. The company would generally have demonstrated good business-consumer relations, and we would expect any consumer complaints not to be of a serious nature and to be satisfactorily handled by the company.

For the last 40 minutes I've been trying to get logged on, but I cannot connect. I have no clue if it'll clear up before the mission at 6. Error: POL-0011. *beats S-E bloody*

If someone from the LS sees this, would you pass the word on to Niala, Chip, Ead, Draque, and/or Aurian?

And also related to that group (heh heh), I stumbled upon that animal penis sex toy site today. (These links are not work safe! Duh!)

Thor, the horse penis! That's the one Niala mentioned, I believe.

But hey, why limit yourself to a horse? See all the animal penis sex-toys here! And remember, Christmas is coming! Who wouldn't love to find a hyena penis-shaped dildo under their tree? Or an alligator penis toy wrapped up in a bright red bow?
