Huh. :) I'm actually rather happy with WoW at the moment. Had an issue with my account this morning, and damned if they didnt' fix it within literally 10 minutes of my making a ticket (First time doing that, lol. Scared the shit out of me when I get a little purple message about it came up on my screen, lol).

The head of the Guild spoke to me this morning. :) Encouraging me to stay with their guild, rather than leave as I want to. He said that if I would just speak up more, they would help me more. ME and my silent voice, lol.

Got camped a total of 15 times by this once jackass (Okay, sorry folks, but I'm now of the firm opinion that ALL ALLIANCE on the Hakkar server are complete and utter JACKASSES.) Haven't met a nice one yet!

Forgot that I could call on my guild to go and kick their butts so they would quit camping me (They camped me at the friggin' graveyard! Even when I had Res Sickness!).

Alliance got wooped though, when a friend of mine came to my rescue. YAY.

I'm at a nice level 54. Killing dinosaurs at the moment, lol.

And a quest keeps kicking my ass, and all it is is escorting a damned chicken! lol.

Anyways,

^__^ Tommorrow morning I"m headed by train to go be with my boyfriend for a few days before we head to AnthroCon. I"m looking forward to all of this very much.

As well as being scared witless. ^__^

Oh yes, dragoness is terrified. I can barely eat (I have a nervous stomach/gut to begin with, so I'm terrified I"m going to eat something that is going to result in my embarrassing myself!). I keep packing and repacking my bags, and I really just keep hyperventilating to the point of wanting to squeeze into a small corner and hide.

But I'll be on that train! And I'll be at AC!

I'm not bringing much in the way of art supplies. I'm sure Raziel and myself will be far too busy for me to sit and do much art. *nodnods* "Busy"...>.> Indeed.

But I"ll have my pens and markers with me.

Just wanted to say bye-bye for now, will see y'all again on the 7th. Or will see y'all at AC. ^___^

Raziel is so cute about all this. He's looking forward to cooking me breakfast and apparently monday, I have to meet his friends and he wants good pictures of both of us. Lucky for me, I have a beautiful outfit for monday. The outfit I've been waiting to wear, bought just for this trip. BEAUTIFUL outfit.

For traveling though, I'm just wearing my favorite of all favorite shirts, and my favorite skirt. Comfortable traveling, lol. I am on a train for 12 hours, I'll be damned if I'm dressing up for that!

Anyways, I have things I should be doing, lol.

Here, for your viewing pleasure, are the blurry blurry pictures taken of Mr. Skink or Salamander or whatever in hell he is. We suspect they live in the pond that's not far from our house, but they nest in the rotten wood out by our shed. This is not the BIG fellow, this is the medium one. We have the blue-tails around as well, but they're smaller. This is the fellow that has a golden throat, though you can't see that here.

*groans* Oh, lovely. South Carolina's governor did a bad bad thing. o.0 At least he admitted it. But why did he have to do it on NATIONAL TELEVISION? GAH!

Way to go, Mark Sandford. Way to go.

I tell you, my house plays home to some strange strange critters. I saw the giant skink today. Got some pictures of it on my phone too. The critter is more than a foot long, thicker than a finger, and it's now mostly brown, with a very yellow/golden throat. I don't know WHAT it is anymore, lol. It's not a blue-tail, it's grown far too large for that. I've seen that one, and I've seen one that is a red-brown and about a foot and a half long. They're VERY VERY fast, so I've never gotten a picture of the second one.

Tommorrow, I'll see about posting the blurry pictures of the one I got.

My mom claims we have a giant spider living in the back yard. Bigger than a wolf spider (which means PRETTY DAMNED BIG). Scary.

Tis a jungle out there. Indeed.

Sharing some pictures today of the bassets. :) We have Beau, the lazy big-brother basset who is so completely laid-back, and we have Penny, who apparently is going to be a little basset. She was the runt of her litter, and she's from the same parents as Beau, but she's reached her full size, and she's not even half his size (she makes up for it by being a pig! We have to watch what she eats because she gets fat very quick, and she's a thieving intelligent basset, lol).

Pictures. ^__^

I hit lvl 50 in WoW. *nodnods*

And somehow managed to upset Matt because I failed to tell him I was playing on WoW tonight. >.< I'm so used to playing alone, I figured he was busy, so I didn't say anything. My bad, lol.

I ran a few quests with someone's alt from the guild. I've found that the guild, while being high levels, is full of people who are interesting to talk with, and are willing ot help. So I'm staying with them for now. :)

I'm off to buy some gear though, to make my little rogue a bit happier, lol.

Giant bowl of fried cabbage is the absolute WIN of foods. Oh yes. ^__^

Coming online tonight and finding that someone whom I was nice to, made a free sketch for, made me a gift of a woodburning of one of my sketches (and anyone who dares to say that it is not art, I will bite!), that is also very awesome.

Someone asking if they can use the art they made of your character and sell prints of her...not sure yet. What do y'all think? I"m all for supporting an artist who wants to sell their work, but somehow it makes me a bit uneasy...(the whole idea that some pervy dragon might buy one of the prints of Tresh and be wanking off to it makes me feel a little violated really). Is this something I should allow? They were kind enough to ask for permission, and I'm sorta just mulling it over tonight. I don't know yet. This is the picture, btw: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2293298/

Other than that, life is life. Getting ready for AC and all that, lol.

My sibling has a new kitty! And I get to babysit it tommorrow. ^__^ An itty-bitty teeny-weeny orange tabby cat. Barely weaned, so tiny and so cute. I named it Chester, and I think the name is going to stick, lol, considering sibling is calling it "Chessy" now. :P

Tommorrow...is an art day. *nodnods* YAR. I hope.

I am now at level 46 on WoW. Yay for me. ^__^ I'm doing much much better.

Tonight Alliance tried to raid Undercity. They failed. ^__^ Dark Lady smited them all, lol. They tried twice. Was very very amusing to me.

Who will be there?

I know a lot of couples are going to be there, folks I know. ^__^ Like Kitoxa and Sellix, and Ria and Mnementh. Who else?

I so have to meet all of you and say HI, lol. It will be awesome to meet the art folks I've known for awhile. I'm all happy-wiggly at the idea, lol.

Sometimes, when you think boys are absolute idiots who care more about a game than about you....

they do something so spectacular and unexpected that you can't help but just go EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE and squeal like a little girl.

I got a 24 pack of prismacolor markers in the mail today. Along with three pads of THE GOOD PAPER. Any artist knows that there is a difference between the sketchbook paper and the typing paper. This is BRISTOL PAPER. SMOOTH AND VELLUM. And a pad of specific marker paper. And a bunch of mats for matting art.

Oh hell yes. I just about had a heart attack when I opened that box. I'm still rather in shock.

I do so love that man. Oh yes.

And the markers will be broken in by coloring porn. Yep. :P haha.

OMG, I'm still just in shock, ya know? GAH, how awesome.

I'm going to draw tonight instead of play WoW, lol.

After consuming an entire 2 liter bottle of soda, having a discussion about Escaflowne vs. Trigun, and majorly kicking ass on WoW, I have but one thing to say.

It doesn't take much to make me happy.

Dude, it's been awesome tonight. I had Matt to myself (he's at his mom's for this week, which means no WoW). I've been speaking up on WoW, talking to people. And I majorly was able to do an entire quest chain without getting murdered once.

And I took pity on a poor Alliance person. They tried to sleath past me. I told them I could see them, lol. And they ran. And I didn't chase them, despite the fact I could have murdered them. Haha. Karma, lol.

And I"m just tickled at how much I can do now. WOOT for being able to kill and not be killed. WOOT FOR THAT.

Bakel gets to be OMG AWESOME PERSON of the day tonight. :) He showed me something very awesome. How to change what the talent points are used on. AND he helped me figure out what to use them on, so that I would be a competent rogue. AND he helped get me gear that would be helpful.

OMG. I"m all SQUEE with joy now.

^___^ AWESOMENESS.

My sister is thinking about joining WoW. ooohhhh...that sounds like fun, lol.

*rubs her hands together and looks mischievous*

Mmm-hmmm.

Ooh, I didn't even know a person could look up their character like that. o.0 So now, I can show y'all what my rogue's stats are right now:

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Hakkar&n=Talakestreal

And this is the boyfriend: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Hakkar&n=Ssesheth

I think I've come to at least one decision though, and maybe it'll upset and piss him off, but I think I need to do it. I think I need to quit his guild. I'd like to come back to it when I hit level 80, but I think I need to find a guild where I can run with people and have fun, and not feel like the perpetually-abandoned girlfriend.

Right now, I lose him every night to raids. He has a character that is actually LOWER in level than me right now. A Troll Priest. http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Hakkar&n=Crayzedoc That would compliment me fabulously, I would think. But because he's always raiding or doing guild things, he doesn't run me with that fellow.

So, I think maybe I need to speak up? Maybe? I mean, I really dont' want to say that he has to quit his guild, but I would like to tell him that at least ONE NIGHT a week, he should come and run with me. That's all I want really, is one night when I can have fun with him.

Running with a stranger the other night was the most fun I'd had in a long time. The fellow was a Hunter, and he drew monsters to him (that's how I learned how to use Throw to pull single monsters to myself, rather than stealth and run into a bunch of monsters and hope to survive). He also showed me how to kill an annoying Alliance person who kept camping us. I stealthed and hid, he played bait. I came up behind and backstabbed the bastard. ^___^ It was glorious fun.

I want to experience that more often, ya know? I'm not the sort of girlfriend to force her boyfriend to do as she wants, so I'm in a sort of quandary. I mean, his guild is nice, but it's mostly level 80s. Only a few alts in there that aren't. And I'm just not suited to it, ya know? This is his guild: http://www.wowarmory.com/guild-info.xml?r=Hakkar&gn=Hit+It+And+Crit+It

Anyways, I ramble this morning, lol.

GEEK. I CRY GEEK ON MYSELF. GEEEEEEKKKKKK DRAGONESS.

Today I tried both of the new WoW Mtn Dew drinks. The Horde one was definitely more tasty. *nodnods* DEFINITELY.



Gah! I'm geeking over a game! Shoot me now!

That being said, damn do I ever love this game. Even if I'm lonely and upset half hte time, I do so love my rogue.

Even if I was a dumbass and did not know there were other tabs in the talent points, thus at level 41, have a rogue who is only good with assassination, lol. Yar, that was the dumbass thing I discovered last night. Poor me. Still a newb.

How very fascinating. Was tracing my family tree tonight (didn't even know I could do that!), and I discover that way way back in my tree, there was an actual prophet with documented proof of his prophecies. How fascinating.

And apparently, my family tree was in South Carolina for a good while before it moved to Indiana in the early 1900s. Very fascinating.

*nodnods* Very cool, lol.

This news link is way too strange, and fascinating, not to share, lol. Kitty growing wing-shaped appendages. o.0 How very odd. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30967440/

Yet again I stayed up until 3 am playing WoW. BAD dragoness. BAD.

Was fun tonight though. I joined a group with a lower-level fellow. I let them think I was a guy, lol. Much easier than saying I was indeed a female playing a female character. Anywho, he was a level 31. I'm level 39. So for once, I got to play the hack-slash killing person while he stepped back and shot arrows and had his pet help. We got murdered by Alliance twice, but also got left alone as well. Was really fun.

So I made a new friend, lol. And now I really should go to bed. I'm really close to level 40 though, so that makes me happy.

I jsut can't believe I stayed up this late playing a game! DAMN! haha. TO BED WITH ME NOW.

I blew off my entire day. Seriously. I spent the ENTIRE day playing World of Warcraft.

And I didn't do anything else. Seriously. I played ALL FRIGGIN DAY.

And it was great. :)

Now though, I AM going to work on art for a little while, lol. *nodnods* Been a bad bad dragoness today, but oh how fun it was to just sit and play a game all day without worries.

I think...I think I want to draw porn tonight. ^___^ We'll see if that happens, lol. I don't know yet. Coloring for a bit first, lol.

I woke up this morning, and there it was. The anxiety. The fear. The worry.

For those that don't know, on June 28, I'm boarding a train and will be with Matt until the morning of the 6th. part of that is for Anthrocon, but part of that is just me and him.

GAH. WHY does anxiety hit now? I've been fine up until this morning. Then I wake up and it's like HOLY SHIT I'M LEAVING MY COMFORT ZONE. ZOMG.

Yar. Stop that Tresh.
