WoW woes

I finally crossed the 200K gold mark. I entered into Cata with 100K, so this should be good, it should make me happy, it should make me facepalm because no one needs that much gold, but instead I'm angry. I'd be pissed off if I had the energy for it.

The amount of time I've put into getting that much gold, if I were on a different server (one with, say, raw mats on the AH...), I would easily have three times that much money.

People on other servers have seemingly endless supplies of dirt-cheap mats. On WRA? I get a couple single pieces of mats every few days. People elsewhere have more mats than they can process, they have a damned endless stream of gold coming in. Me? I spent 14 hours standing in front of the AH yesterday and I got one stack and a couple singles of mats.

I tell myself it doesn't matter. And really, it doesn't. I have more gold than I'll ever use. But still, it pushes my "it's not fair!" button big time.

Making an equal amount of gold for an equal amount of time spent in the effort. Is that an unreasonable wish?

The bounty of my friendsfriends list (WoW)

When I get bored, I check out my friendsfriends list (friends of LJ friends). For the most part, there's nothing annoying or offensive there (sometimes there's some semi-nasty right wing stuff, but that's the worst of it). Today, first post on my friendsfriends page was... *drumroll* The Princess Generator! I passed some time making princesses of my WoW IC characters.

Haken came out well, Keen I had problems with because there was no hair that was right. Click for big!

Kitty Communication Question

For all you cat folks, can you confirm something for me? I've always taken tail flicking to mean 'go away'. The last quarter of the tail, maybe an inch and a half of it, flicking repeatedly. That's an annoyed, 'I need space' sort of thing, right?

Ellie New Cat sends me such mixed signals that I'm starting to question myself. She wants loves, she wants pats, but OH NOS YOU ARE SCARY. So I pat her when she wants it (basically every waking minute), but as soon as her tail flick (often after just a couple pats) I stop. Then she looks longingly at me like WHY NO MORE PATS?
