Wow...it's been awhile...

It's been a long while since my last post. To briefly explain- things have been hectic at work and I haven't had the time to really post here. I "seem" to be caught up with things, at least momentarily, which is why I'm taking a little while to post here today. The other reason there's been a general lack of posting is because, well...I have allowed myself to get burnt out again. My fault. I have recently been taking time off from the game and am slowly easing back into it. It's really hard to want to play when things just aren't "fun".

I'm not going to sit here and whine about it, but I will say that I had tried to plan "fun" events for the guild. Fail. Seems like people don't enjoy doing fun, silly things in game. I imagine that was my mistake- for thinking that this game could be anything less than SRSBZNSSZOMFG. But, I tried to make things fun. No one wants fun...they want high pressure, drama, and better-than-you gear. *shrug* Whatever...

With all the RL stresses and recent in game stress, I've been fishing a lot. That's what I do when I'm upset/irritated. I go fishing. I get much needed "alone" time. I hide my chat screen and just relax. At any rate, that doesn't really afford TOO much opportunity for stupid things to happen.

Speaking of fishing, though...I got a pet from my very first outlands fishing daily! I got a Snarly! Cutest little crocolisk ever! Hell yeah! He was the highlight of my entire week...how sad is that?

I mean there have been a few things that have happened this month that have been a little funny.

The new 5 man dungeon: Trial of the Champion. WOW! My first time in there, I was healing and we just got OWNED on the first set of bosses. I mean, instantly owned. We ended up getting the rogue (undead), warrior (orc) and hunter (troll). We got destroyed. Between poisons everywhere and the friggin Mortal Strike...it was ugly. VERY ugly. I did quite a bit of research on the strategies for that entire instance and posted a pretty lengthy, but detailed guide on the guild website that no one uses. At least I learned something from the guide. Guess that's what counts.

Um, we had a Naxx25 noobism happen. We had gone through a big portion of the instance as a PuG without much issue. Do you know what dissolved the ENTIRE group? The slime room before Patchwerk. Yep. Go figure.

See, our Raid Leader had given us a 5 minute break to repair, go get drinks, eat, breathe- whatever we needed to do before continuing. When break time was over, we get our ready check, good to go- then we start plowing through the slimes. We get to the other side only to find out that 2 of our raid members had gone off to repair instead of coming through the slime with us. Not ONE warlock in the group...so we couldn't summon them. We tried to take on patchwerk without them- but failed. So, the raid leader posts in raid chat that we're going back for the others. Before we even get the chance- they start plowing through the slimes themselves and wiped half the raid. It was all downhill from there...eventually people began leaving the raid and that's where it ended. Joy.

Other than that, no real wild stories to tell. Hopefully I'll be back to post soon...once things settle down a little more.
