I love hunters. Hunters are like the Pokemon Masters of the World of Warcraft. I loved me some Pokemon growing up. I was terribad at ‘catching them all’ but there was nothing like getting six different cute little plushie minions to wreak havoc upon the world. I especially like Beast Mastery hunters, because they seem to have all the coolest pets. Moonfireing kittehs? Molten Core LOOT THE DAWGS? OMFG Huge Dinosaurs? That’s pretty damn cool in my opinion.

I especially love hunters that give me blog-fodder. The best place to find hunters who are confused and !ANGRY! are usually in LFD. These guys are pros. They insist on leaving growl on, pull for the tank in the days before learning how to Misdirect and generally cause mass chaos. I mean, I don’t have a -lot- of room to talk because I am currently leveling Deathtard! extraordinaire Inyx and sometimes I get so carried away with trying to figure out my Unholy AoE rotation that…well…I don’t realize I’ve pulled half the mobs off the tank. My bad. Sorry dude.

Extra Bone for Her Pleasure

The very patient Warrior tank was making careful pulls when things went horribly awry. A patrol got pulled and the tank was suddenly splatted across the screen in a spray of little warrior chunks.  I fumble with my keybindings, finally find Frost Presence and heroically start smashing my keys in an effort to secure AoE threat. Which, incidentally wasn’t that difficult because as an Unholy DK my aoe threat was already a vague annoyance to the warrior tank. Throwing in some Death Strikes to help the druid keep me alive as…I was in dps gear? Squishy DK is squishy? we polished off the rest of the mobs and the druid even battle rezzed the warrior. I was too frazzled to drop frost presence until the fight was over. But what fun!

I was happily killing mobs a few minutes later when party chat caught my eye. Now I am not overtly fond of chatting in pugs because the intelligence there ranges between dull and scuffed rock to that guy who believes there are no girls on the internet.

The hunter Pesadelo who was both stylish and impressive with his green headband and ponytail was obviously not happy that the rogue had won the roll on the leather attack power bracers. I think this might have something to do with the fact that Pesadelo the Awesome could not actually roll need on said bracers.

So Pesadelo of the Potentially Ebayed or Botted Account decided that this was not okay, HE deserved the leather bracers, NOT the rogue…and ragequit.

So when we killed the next boss, I suspect the Rogue Ganite took a certain amount of pleasure in the Small Prismatic Shard yielded from the ‘Hunter Gloves’ that then proceeded to drop.

So in my effort to resolve some irl things within myself, I’ve been attempting the achievment World Explorer… but irl. As many of you know I was out in CO recently with a lot of my friends having a great time… evidenced by these not so great pictures taken with my phone… I *do* have better on my camera, I just have to stop being teh lazy and put them on my pc. >.> I had a wonderful time out there with them… DnD … cooking cheesesteaks… I think they laughed at the wonder in my eyes when I stopped to take in the view of the mountains every morning. “Eh, they’re mountains” I think was what I was told on several occasions…

Rocky Mountains

I have to say… I had a wonderful adventure with Mark… that involved me feeding my Fiji water to his lovely Jeep…

Driving Ms. Daisy

Not only did Mark sacrifice his Jeep to drive me around … but at the time of this trip I was pregnant, so he gave up his room so that I could rest comfortably – Thanks Mark!!! (Oh, and sorry about the flower smells!!)

More recently… my random vacation – well, I guess it wasn’t so random, but sudden and I wasn’t in a hotel room. I was staying with friends and doing some soul searching. I had the opportunity to spend a lot of time alone and see beauty in things that I once would have thought to be plain.

TUNNELZ!!!

I’ve lived in Pennsylvania for all of my life… and I never realized how many tunnels we have. I honestly thought that there was the Lehigh Tunnel and that’s it. However, I think I went through at least four sets of tunnels and one pair were so interesting to me… I exited one tunnel just to enter another – reminded me of the trek from Ironforge to Dun Morogh. It also dawned on me that we, in Pennsylvania have some pretty interesting names for towns… the most glaring examples being Intercourse, Blueball, Bird-in-hand, and Climax… yeah, not kidding.

Not as interesting as climax, but hey...

Anyway… so Illinois is where I landed last week and I spent most of my mornings watching the sun rise over lake Rend. Well, kinda – if you can consider it a sunrise when it’s over cast:

SOO tired - see the coffee?

What a magical place for me – even while overcast. I would say it’s like riding through the plains of Kalimdor, only snow covered and by a lake… (and by way of car…) and realizing there is just something so beautiful about it. I’m looking forward to seeing it in the spring and summer as the seasons change. Believe it or not, I’m looking forward to the miles of green corn fields… Before I left, nature smiled on me and gave me a beautiful morning…

My special place <3

Really though… what inspired me to even write this post was a sign I came across. I passed it once and immediately thought of our friend Tam over at Righteous Orbs… and when I passed it a second time I thought I should really get a picture of it… SO, when I passed by it the third time no one was on the road so (since I was driving) I slowed down enough to snap this picture (and Tam, I apologize for the crappy quality – rest assured, there will be a better one when I get back there in two weeks :p )

Tam's Stable Place

So… when did you roll a hunter, Tam?? lol

Over the next few weeks I’m going to be packing up and getting ready for the big move to Illinois so not much time to play wow and therefore not much to blog about unfortunately. I am looking forward to leveling my baby druid and my baby paladin and telling about the silly fun I plan to have. *cheer*

<3

P.S. How could I forget the loltrains??? I think I waited 10 mins for this one?
