Eeeeek! People are saying that, based on how things in beta are marked, that 4.0.3a will be dropping next week! The world changing! New job/race combos! EEEEEEEK! I'm not ready!

Dalaran portals going away. D: D: D: D: Oh my wonderful Northrend, I hate to think you're going to become Outlands. I'll never forget you, I'll always love you best. Cross my heart!

Based on how certain markets on the AH have caught fire, I think a lot of people are expecting it to drop next week. (Or are realizing it's going to be Soon and are starting to get ready.)

I wonder if it will happen on Monday, as things have been lately?

In other WoW news, I dropped two of my alts out of my personal guild and had them join a social one. I <3 my social channel to death, but I needed to expand my social circle a bit. (Which is kind of an odd story. In the past couple weeks I noticed I was feeling lonely. I never feel lonely! It was really disconcerting, I couldn't even identify the feeling at first.) So anyway, I picked a guild almost at random (I've seen them active RPing and I knew one person in it). Luck was with me! They're good folks! Unfortunately there are only four or five of them in the guild, so things are still quieter than I would like, but I intend to stick around!

In other-other WoW news, I often get asked how I make so much gold, and I never have an answer for people. It's not something I really plan, and I don't feel like I work for it, it always seems to just happen. So lately I've been trying to pay attention to see what it is I do, and I found a good example: I had been stockpiling chilled meat for Cata. I figured the Northrend cooking daily would still be good XP/gold. Then, after the issue with the Waterlogged Recipes/Sealed Poison XP items, I realized we'd likely do Northrend cooking dailies as often as we do Outland cooking dailies -- almost never. So I looked at selling my meat. A stack of meat was going for 1 gold at the AH! x.x HORRIBLE! So how to make it into better money? Do the cooking dailies with it (which I had stopped doing long ago). 10 gold per daily, five 80s, plus the reward bag has spices (100 spices sell for about 75 gold). So it's little things like that that help.

In other-other-other WoW news, my goal of making 100,000 gold before Cata might still happen, even though I spent 25,000 to get master flying for all five 80s. I'm at just over 90K now, with a couple weeks to go, and the AH market is picking up nicely. If I don't hit 100K I'll still be close, and after spending so much on flying, close is good enough.

I need to stop watching TV, or maybe just stop watching the news, it keeps pissing me off.

A school district here wants to show anti-bulling films for grades K-12. Included in this film are all family types -- mixed gender, mixed race, same gender, same race. Of course, the religious people are up in arms about OH MY GOD, KIDS BEING EXPOSED TO THE EVIL OF SAME-SEX COUPLES. Note: There is no sex in these films, nothing sexual is being talked about, only families are discussed (how different people can have different families).

The "logic" (and it pains me to use that word) of the religious peoples' arguments is that they don't want their kids to see the movies, and if the kids don't see the movies with the other kids, they'll be bullied for not seeing it.

Gods a-fucking-bove. Well then how about you drop the hate and let your kids see that OH MY GOD, GAY COUPLES EXIST AND THEY DON'T HAVE HORNS AND POINTY TAILS AND OH MY GOD WON'T TURN YOUR KIDS GAY JUST BY THEM SEEING IT R&*$&R)$&!@()$&@!

There. Happy now? You've made me type in all caps and random-character curse at you.

Mumble.

Edit: #*&$)!@&$) This woman is saying that same-sex couples "are in no way equal" to non-same sex couples! SHE IS CLAIMING SHE IS TOLERANT, SHE IS NOT A HATEFUL PERSON, BUT SAME-SEX LOVE IS NOT THE SAME SO KIDS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO KNOW IT EXISTS. *froth* Of course she didn't say "same-sex love" because, duh, gay people can't love! (#&$&()!@&$)!)
