I would probably just talk about Druid stuff and maybe real life stuff just to make the blog a little more interesting.<br /><br />Afterall, if you ONLY wanted druid information you could just go to MMO-Champion... but you wouldn't get my random quirkiness there, now WOULD YOU?<br /><br />In any case, if anyone has some good ideas for Vlog content, let me know!<br /><br />Aside from that idea, I'm looking to revamp the blog; it's been while and I've picked up some new Photoshop tips that I want to use! So in the next few days look for a new layout for Barky Bits, as well as a little video tutorial on setting up Power Auras (a great mod for buff/debuff/proc tracking)!<br /><br />Update: The blog has been essentially redone (obviously). I like to keep things simple... for now this is all I really need to do. I may redo the banner, but for now it'll do. It's 5:30am and I have class at 10:30am<br /><br />... why do I do this to myself D:Corgiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03943954469596201738noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202489738900546506.post-15833284534522855902009-09-15T22:48:00.001-07:002009-09-15T22:49:40.712-07:00Finally Complete!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCy3dmLJRQVFyMq6NjMaNiBbE2BVPAT2qeDwYUjzbKuoRB3lK3hcmSV0NDW3Wc2Jf6v7TGm0hpcNA5IqapCluwuCKgIho7SFrl-wSej0fHBKSWLQKmqf7HETwS3Kbj6X-6lfllTAA8ajM/s1600-h/WoWScrnShot_091609_001318.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCy3dmLJRQVFyMq6NjMaNiBbE2BVPAT2qeDwYUjzbKuoRB3lK3hcmSV0NDW3Wc2Jf6v7TGm0hpcNA5IqapCluwuCKgIho7SFrl-wSej0fHBKSWLQKmqf7HETwS3Kbj6X-6lfllTAA8ajM/s320/WoWScrnShot_091609_001318.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5381938341581385762" border="0" /></a>Corgiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03943954469596201738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202489738900546506.post-28211780350081924122009-09-12T14:23:00.000-07:002009-09-12T14:25:09.167-07:00Coming SoonGuides on Healing 10/25 man Trial of the Crusader (regular and heroic)!Corgiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03943954469596201738noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202489738900546506.post-84873927600542348452009-09-11T11:50:00.000-07:002009-09-11T11:59:01.024-07:009/11 - Where Was I?9/11/2001<br /><br />I live in Northern Virginia, about 20 minutes from D.C. At the time I was a 7th grader and I was sitting in a science class. My teacher left the room for a minute and walked back in, saying something about a plane hitting a building. I was a little scared; it sounded like planes were just dropping from the sky and hitting buildings. It wasn't until I got to my next class (Orchestra) that I saw what had happened.<br /><br />My teacher, a New Yorker, had the T.V on and was running back and forth from the classroom to the phone. On the T.V I saw the image of the first tower covered by a cloud of smoke. I wasn't sure what to think. I was scared, but still calm.<br /><br />... until they mentioned that the Pentagon had been hit. My father, a retired Army man, worked with defense contracting with (I believe) Ratheon at the time. I knew that he worked in D.C., but I had no idea if he actually worked in the Pentagon or not. I was still young, so I didn't have a cell phone or a way to call my house without asking a teacher. I worried the entire day until my sister picked me up after school.<br /><br />"Dad was in the Pentagon."<br /><br />When she said that my heart stopped.<br /><br />Luckily, she quickly added: "He's ok."<br /><br />When my dad got home that night I hugged him harder than I've ever hugged anyone in my entire life. He told me that he had two offices to visit in the Pentagon that day and had chosen one over the other. Had he chosen the other room he probably would have died. He told me how him and other coworkers were standing around the T.V, watching the towers burn.<br /><br />Then, someone said: "Wouldn't it be something if a plane hit the Pentagon?"<br /><br />Sure enough, seconds later the plane hit. My dad said that it felt like all the air was sucked out of the building and then launched back at them. Everyone darted out of the building and down the halls as quickly as they could. I was so relieved he made it out safely.<br /><br />I hope everyone takes a moment of silence today for the innocent lives lost in this terrible attack.Corgiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03943954469596201738noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202489738900546506.post-86617179063462045592009-09-02T20:58:00.000-07:002009-09-02T22:21:01.241-07:00Faction Swap Now Live<span style="font-weight: bold;">Long time no see, readers </span><span style="font-size:78%;">(I still have some, right?)</span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:100%;"> !</span></span><br /><br />With the onset of the Fall semester I haven't had much time or energy to post much of anything here. However I didn't really have anything of interest to post, either... I'm in that stage where I'm trying to find a way to make my blog more interesting and useful for you all to read, via guides, theory crafting, etc. I'm also hoping to revamp the page's layout now that I've dabbled a bit more in Photoshop and got some new skills!<br /><br />So hopefully I'll have some more useful content in the coming weeks once I've settled down with school. Video game design and art classes are stressful!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Blood Elf LF Hooves and Tail</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNahHQ_hJi6VoHJGyyTHCX9wbSOGakxG1-8c7PMrgx6cFPdcXkOSE0ky1AfVKU7V0OJ3kMs_Iq4-iPPreN6PJ1Zzrp9z7l4GSceQWrjC2DrpBq2Uod0Dqs3oQ3XKexie6byzYztapEXCE/s1600-h/facswitch.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 353px; height: 148px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNahHQ_hJi6VoHJGyyTHCX9wbSOGakxG1-8c7PMrgx6cFPdcXkOSE0ky1AfVKU7V0OJ3kMs_Iq4-iPPreN6PJ1Zzrp9z7l4GSceQWrjC2DrpBq2Uod0Dqs3oQ3XKexie6byzYztapEXCE/s320/facswitch.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5377085971602352882" border="0" /></a><br />For those of you who haven't seen the news, the faction transfers from Horde to Alliance (and visa versa) are now available for a mere $30; quite a bit earlier than I had anticipated.<br /><br />When this service was announced a few months ago, I was rather excited. I have a few high level alts that I don't play simply because I don't like the race I picked. Stupid, yes, but if I'm going to spend hours on a character I want it to be pleasing to look at. My Blood Elf Paladin <span style="font-weight: bold;">is</span> cute, but I've always disliked the casting animations. When I used to play Alliance years ago I had a level 25 Draenei Paladin that I loved, and now I have the chance to quickly swap over to that race without spending hours of time leveling a new one. Aesthetics aside, I actually have quite a few friends I made in Dalaran via emoting on Alliance side as well as friends from my own faction who made new characters on Alliance that I'd like to play with.<br /><br />I'm eager to try out the Alliance side of Northrend after being on Horde for all these years. With recent issues it'll be a nice little escape to get away from drama and irritation that comes with logging onto my main.<br /><br />Some people think this entire service was a bad idea. They think it'll cause server imbalance, bring 'bads' over to their side be it Horde or Alliance, ruin PvP from people swapping races to get the best racials. It's my personal opinion that this was a great idea. There's a lot of people who have been playing since Vanilla WoW and, due to various reasons, had to abandon their older characters that they had put a great deal of time and effort into. Thanks to this service, people can possibly bring those characters back from the grave and play them once again.<br /><br />What do you think about the service? Great? Stupid? Do you think you might use it?Corgiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03943954469596201738noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202489738900546506.post-15299060445427191102009-08-21T12:57:00.000-07:002009-08-21T12:59:01.465-07:00BRB<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2009/august/images/ss18_hires.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 359px; height: 268px;" src="http://static.mmo-champion.com/mmoc/images/news/2009/august/images/ss18_hires.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Rolling Worgen.<br /><br /><br /></div>Corgiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03943954469596201738noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202489738900546506.post-43924056917746798102009-08-15T14:59:00.000-07:002009-08-15T15:09:37.853-07:00Of HoT Idols and Mauling Face<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b231/anbu_neko/hotidols.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 428px; height: 398px;" src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b231/anbu_neko/hotidols.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div>Patch 3.2 brought about all kinds of change! While at first I was extremely hesitant about Emblem of Conquest changes, it wasn't until I decided to build up a feral DPS set that I realized how awesome this change was. Doing heroics is a great chance to spend some time with guildies while stocking up on extra badges for those off specs that you've been neglecting. Picking up a DPS set has been great, as it makes doing dailies easier, finding a spot in heroic groups easier, and also makes me a more flexible and valuable raider. Need a healer? No problem. Need a mangle bot? No problem! It's also been great for a change of pace; even I get tired of healing (gasp!).<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Speaking of being HoT...</span><a href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=47671"><br /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><a style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);" href="http://www.wowhead.com/?item=47671">Idol of Flaring Growth</a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">If you hadn't seen this Restoration Druid idol yet, you'd best put a bib of some sort on or at least put a bucket beneath your mouth because this idol will make you <span style="font-style: italic;">drool</span>. It's essentially a <span style="font-weight: bold;">constant</span> free 234 spell power. According to players on Wowhead.com, the idol has <span style="font-style: italic;">no</span> internal cooldown and even procs several times in a row. With Rejuvenation now our main spell for raid healing (especially with the Tier 8.5 4-piece set bonus), more and more set bonuses/idols are giving it even more benefits!<br /><br />I only have about 15 Badges of Triumph at the moment (I keep forgetting to turn my daily in, 'doh!), but once I get it I'm going to be even more Rejuvenation happy than I am now. Healing has never been so HoT!<br /></div></div>Corgiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03943954469596201738noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202489738900546506.post-62740460905787552592009-08-12T18:06:00.000-07:002009-08-12T18:23:35.242-07:00Onyxia to Return and Deep Breath Your Face Off in 3.2.2!?<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b231/anbu_neko/onyfuuu.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 519px; height: 399px;" src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b231/anbu_neko/onyfuuu.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /></div><blockquote style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">She has lurked in her lair and done battle with the many brave adventurers who travelled to that familiar location over the years. Now, in honor of the World of Warcraft 5-year anniversary, the dreaded brood mother Onyxia is being revamped to make a return to the forefront of Azeroth, as part of our big plans for the upcoming 3.2.2 content patch.<br /><br /> This permanent update to Onyxia will convert the dungeon into 10- and 25-player modes. We will be adding new items to Onyxia’s loot table that have the same model as some of the classic loot from this dungeon, like Tier 2 helms, with stats updated to match the current level of content. There will be a special new item too: a normal drake-sized 310% speed flying mount modeled after Onyxia herself called an Onyxia Broodling. We will also be updating the encounter mechanics to be more fitting for modern raiding, but we can guarantee players will get to experience the frightening horror of deep breaths once again.<br /><br /> Then for a limited time, after the 5-year anniversary event officially begins in November, anybody who logs in will receive an Onyxia Brood Whelpling pet.<br /><br /> We’re very excited to bring this classic encounter back to provide a fun new experience for both new and veteran players. Further details will be available in the near future, and we will be setting up the Public Test Realms soon to help test out this fight along with all the new content we have planned for the patch.

In fact, I finally got my 4 piece Tier 8.5 set bonus the other day (rejoice). Other than that, though, nothing much is really going on. Everyone else seems to be covering the new PTR changes and such better than I can, so I've decided to be lazy and let them all cover it ;)<br /><br />I just got home from a 3 hour drive (curse you traffic...) from visiting my boyfriend so, hopefully, I'll have something worthwhile to read sometime soon.Corgiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03943954469596201738noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202489738900546506.post-85809326607431115902009-06-23T19:04:00.000-07:002009-06-23T19:05:37.834-07:00PTRPTRs are up and I just got home from work.

There's been guild issues, RL issues, and other things keeping me busy. But mostly, this is what's had my attention...:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="480" height="418" id="VideoPlayerLg37487"><param name="movie" value="http://g4tv.com/lv3/37487"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><embed src="http://g4tv.com/lv3/37487" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="VideoPlayer" width="480" height="418" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object><div style="margin:0;text-align:center;width:480px;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;font-size:12px;color:#FF9B00;"><a href="http://g4tv.com/" style="color:#FF9B00;" target="_blank">Video Games</a> - <a href="http://g4tv.com/e3" style="color:#FF9B00;" target="_blank">E3 2009</a> - <a href="http://g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/tags/3306/PC-Gaming.html" style="color:#FF9B00;" target="_blank">PC Gaming</a></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I heard about this game a while back, but it wasn't until my coworker who had tried the US preview event told me about it that I decided to really look into it.

This week is Asmodian testing, but I'm going to be rolling Elyos (most likely) for live.<br /><br />It's times like these I'm glad I work at GameStop...

It had issues back in December when I received it and tried to put more RAM into it. Assuming the RAM was bad (because the website said the board could take 8 gigs of RAM), I got new RAM later and tried it again in May. The board continued to hang, refusing to boot even to the BIOS. Removing the CMOS battery for a bit fixed it, but now that doesn't even work.<br /><br />3 e-mails, 3 phone calls, and 3 weeks later, it's still sitting in my custom-built rig. Dead. I'm going to advise all of my readers to avoid purchasing products from DFI. Even if their prodcuts are nice, their customer service is terrible. They tell me 'We didn't get your e-mail' or, 'Send it to this e-mail'... 'this e-mail' being DIFFERENT from the one they have listed on their website.<br /><br />I'm getting very angry. I'm about to just say screw it and buy a new one and throw out my current moboard. I'm tired of waiting for these incompetent people to contact me.<br /></div></div>Corgiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03943954469596201738noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202489738900546506.post-67136037657809515872009-06-05T16:00:00.000-07:002009-06-05T16:09:14.615-07:00If You Quit Your Druid Over The Art Changes...... you aren't really a Druid.<br /><br />Had to get that out there and off my chest... tired of seeing things like this:<br /><br /><blockquote><span class="">"I just didn't bother to switch my character cause my Druid is not my main. Here I['ll] post on my Druid. The character I might never play again if these changes goes live."<br /><br /></span><br /><span class=""></span></blockquote>Honestly, to me, if you're going to quit because the art wasn't tailored to EXACTLY HOW YOU WANT IT, good riddance. We don't need more 'FotM' Druids running around ruining the code (IE: never ganking other Druids, especially not in Moonglade) that we used to have.<br /><br />This isn't meant to target people upset about the way your forms are selected (see Keeva's post about this <a href="http://treebarkjacket.blogspot.com/2009/06/ne-cat-form-model-revamp.html">here</a>). I definitely agree! While I actually ended up getting the colors I want (MUFASA INC), I know and definitely understand that people are attached to their character. I'm probably just as attached! I don't think I'd ever change Corgii from having her light brown, splotchy fur color, which I chose based off of the normal coloring of a <a href="http://www.pups4sale.com.au/welsh_corgi_pembroke_03a.jpg">Pembroke Welsh Corgi</a> (my favorite dog).<br /><br />No, I'm talking about the people who can't just be grateful that we've gotten these model changes. I understand. It's been four years. They have tons of money and people to do it. True. But think of how much time they put into other things, and even still they gave us the forms we wanted so badly!<br /><br />Shut your face and enjoy it!

They’ve been living a lie for so much of their lives. They don’t even realize that pretending to be someone else in the real world is not only wrong and illegal, but also disturbing. But we should feel bad. Ferraro must have very little self-esteem.</blockquote><blockquote></blockquote>This absolutely <span style="font-weight: bold;">infuriated</span> me. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's ignorant people flaming a group (and in this case, a 13 million strong group) of people for something that <span style="font-weight: bold;">ONE </span>person in said group did. "Living a lie"?! So every single person who plays World of Warcraft is living a lie? Really? I'd like to see some facts to back up that claim. Do they really think that every single person is so absorbed in the game that they try to pretend the real world doesn't exist? Now, this isn't to say that there aren't people who are possibly a bit too absorbed into the game, but isn't that the case with<span style="font-style: italic;"> anything</span>? You're always going to get the fanatics, the die-hards, the obsessive ones... that happens with anything and everything! Movies, people, religions, etc.. It's always going to be like that.<br /><br />... but to go and bash, sling mud, what have you, on an entire group of people?<br /><br />It's just ignorant and wrong.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1203/697065143_2f178f62f0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 382px; height: 354px;" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1203/697065143_2f178f62f0.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Angry druid is ANGRY.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;">I suppose I feel especially angry about this subject as I was mocked, ridiculed, insulted, etc. for playing WoW in High School. I've been an avid gamer since I first got the NES as a little kid. My ex-boyfriend insulted me for playing because it had a monthly fee. I suppose cable/sattelite T.V is completely free; no monthly fee. Cell phones, and various other online services... those are all just a waste too, right? To ANYONE who makes the arguement with me that WoW is a waste of money, I pose this counter point.<br /><br /><ul><li>3 XBox360/PS3/Wii games: Approximately $180 (Wii games tend to be $50, but for the sake of this arguement I'll assume we're buying the $60 games)</li><li>1 Year of World of Warcraft: Approximately $179.88 (assuming you're buying a one month recurring subscription off of the main site)</li></ul><br />It's easy to see that for the price of 3 games that I will probably beat within a month of purchase, I get an entire year of a game that I probably play for 40 hours+ a week (most likely more). Granted, some people don't necessarily play WoW as much as I do (some play MORE than I do), but the people who always have this argument with me are avid gamers, much like myself.<br /><br />It's all apples and oranges here.<br /><br /><br />Why can't people accept that we all have different interests and hobbies?! Different strokes for different folks, people! This is exactly like people bashing someone else's taste in music! For me, music is <span style="font-weight: bold;">very </span>important. It inspires me to draw, motivates me; music <span style="font-style: italic;">moves</span> me. I also understand that everyone has their own taste in music, and I understand that it's OK!<br /><br />Alas... this isn't a perfect world. Not everyone is lucky enough to have common sense and avoid ignorance. It just makes me seethe with anger when I see comments like that, tossing an entire group of people into a stereotype (many of those people good friends), simply because one person did something crazy.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://wwwdelivery.superstock.com/WI/223/1527/PreviewComp/SuperStock_1527R-278022.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 234px; height: 350px;" src="http://wwwdelivery.superstock.com/WI/223/1527/PreviewComp/SuperStock_1527R-278022.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Well...

Hopefully tomorrow I'll be back from my tanning session with a more positive blog idea... until then, hopefully you guys can share your opinions and make me feel like less of a nutjob for being so angry over this...<br /></div></div>Corgiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03943954469596201738noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202489738900546506.post-26628399711742433182009-05-31T18:25:00.000-07:002009-05-31T18:37:42.058-07:00Useless Blog is UselessI'm a little frustrated. After reading all the things about the Ferraro web of lies, I realized that I wanted to do my part to make my blog useful to the druid community. Sadly, I have no idea how to go about doing that... Averna already has a ton of great 'How to heal (insert Ulduar boss here)' guides, but there's not really any point in me making my own guides when hers are already so well thought-out and informative...<br /><br />Any ideas?Corgiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03943954469596201738noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202489738900546506.post-91304242331896434492009-05-30T23:53:00.000-07:002009-05-31T00:15:07.351-07:00Cats, blog changes, and clothesI got tired of trying to make the background of the blog look <span>perfect</span>, so hopefully you all like it the way it is...<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Alt ADD Continues</span><br />I spent a TON of time leveling up my Draenei Priestess, Soniah, today! It was a lot of fun. It's almost like a new game now that I'm in Northrend. This time, however, I'm on the Alliance, so a lot of things are different!<br /><br />There's one thing I'm doing now that I <span><span style="font-weight: bold;">NEVER</span> </span>do..<br />.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjATiePQqDwdCsjPTrDOvgxBj0eGyJc4486TisaLxYdULzHxk9a1u8m8IBBCOYZMFjzxDN4vJJUbCZY74FT53du6BXERtOWoBNgGZwPn3d6vklAYrj54vaUDIkUGGeJ3IdXzKSXw7-rrCM/s1600-h/WoWScrnShot_053009_190219.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjATiePQqDwdCsjPTrDOvgxBj0eGyJc4486TisaLxYdULzHxk9a1u8m8IBBCOYZMFjzxDN4vJJUbCZY74FT53du6BXERtOWoBNgGZwPn3d6vklAYrj54vaUDIkUGGeJ3IdXzKSXw7-rrCM/s320/WoWScrnShot_053009_190219.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341879142459874498" border="0" /></a>Read quest text.<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div style="text-align: left;">It's funny... I always thought that reading quest text would just make it take longer to get quests done, but not only is it a) interesting to read about what exactly is going on and WHY I'm doing the quest, but it is also b) almost faster than relying on QuestHelper or Carbonite. Ironic, I know. But I'm really having a lot of fun reading about the different things going on in Northrend, seeing the way I'm helping out the different characters... it almost makes it more... I know this sounds weird... <span style="font-style: italic;">personal</span>? It's like you're really there helping out everyone.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">*cricket chirps*<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">Anyway! Onto my next, short topic...<br /><br /><span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Blues on Cat Form Updates</span><br /></span>I was browsing MMO-Champion during some downtime in my alt Naxx25 run and I saw this on the front page:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBGw62_OAToD75vb7iVCWqrx-BONrI0Zk3hAF5oS0J6VxBN2Cmin-j-oMzrlYQoKN7jko3G4LgQz0oEEguUGj6R_XyxKt0Ctg0l0GC5ckE6g46hvpb4xz8KAcToSmFkHnVLXtRT4OfZ1U/s1600-h/Untitled-1.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 37px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBGw62_OAToD75vb7iVCWqrx-BONrI0Zk3hAF5oS0J6VxBN2Cmin-j-oMzrlYQoKN7jko3G4LgQz0oEEguUGj6R_XyxKt0Ctg0l0GC5ckE6g46hvpb4xz8KAcToSmFkHnVLXtRT4OfZ1U/s320/Untitled-1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341879799172697010" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">(click for a larger image)<br /><br /></span><br /><div style="text-align: left;">*squeals* This makes me so excited! They seem rather confident that we'll (read: MOST druids) be happy about the new design, and I'm ecstatic. I'm so tired of the monkey-face-anorexic-wyvern that I've been forced to run around on while doing dailies. Needless to say, next week cannot come soon enough! Hopefully the Tauren cat form will be on par with the Night Elf form, as I always felt that the Night Elf cat form was much cooler!'<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">WoW Swag!</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhENe_J1AfXkWSjpADJdCxb-6Ih5hlfTd8JaVWcJ38L1jrZZjLqd8MXzaxdxITurtO51KZ-jiLpU-oTb3eiVTNb2dipNl3R8JbLKr-dhye1w6RmLRpaiXA3wPhcoFBLEpIuymLNL4VoqQ/s1600-h/jinx09summer.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 355px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhENe_J1AfXkWSjpADJdCxb-6Ih5hlfTd8JaVWcJ38L1jrZZjLqd8MXzaxdxITurtO51KZ-jiLpU-oTb3eiVTNb2dipNl3R8JbLKr-dhye1w6RmLRpaiXA3wPhcoFBLEpIuymLNL4VoqQ/s320/jinx09summer.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341882011597244386" border="0" /></a><br />For those of you who have never heard of or visited <a href="http://jinx.com/">Jinx</a>, now would be a great time! They have a plethora of WoW T-shirts and other Warcraft-related things, such as vynil stickers of the Horde or Alliance logos (pictured below on my car!) They just released their Summer '09 line of shirts, and they look pretty sweet! I might invest in the <a href="http://www.jinx.com/world_of_warcraft/women/dalaran_university_womens.html?catid=42&cs=2&csd=42&preview=1">Dalaran University</a> and <a href="http://www.jinx.com/world_of_warcraft/women/thunder_bluff_warstompers_womens.html?catid=42&cs=2&csd=42&preview=1">Thunder Bluff Warstompers</a> T-shirts =) So far I've got quite a few shirts from them. I have the older version of their Alliance shirt, their Druid class shirt, the newer version of their Horde shirt, the 'Rogues, the Original Ganksta' shirt (from when I was a rogue long, LONG ago), and lastly their /dance T-shirt. If you haven't been to Jinx and have really wanted some neat WoW swag, check them out!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLwS9QjftaC2dzuzcgAlc-HEY_rMIwxdxj_wl9ot8OUsRNO7lM-oBCU8_3ixXCpjes33gephNcmXR1a9iLLQIdL67gZrp0cFvXE3CNA48zbPkhKouHRbSBJHu_b6Jxmiv3MTQsLnGTu5E/s1600-h/downsized_0403091856.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLwS9QjftaC2dzuzcgAlc-HEY_rMIwxdxj_wl9ot8OUsRNO7lM-oBCU8_3ixXCpjes33gephNcmXR1a9iLLQIdL67gZrp0cFvXE3CNA48zbPkhKouHRbSBJHu_b6Jxmiv3MTQsLnGTu5E/s320/downsized_0403091856.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341881782830333202" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">My car gained +100 to Awesome<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div></div><span><span></span></span></div></div></div></div>Corgiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03943954469596201738noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6202489738900546506.post-50057392163686458212009-05-29T23:24:00.000-07:002009-05-29T23:36:39.376-07:00Dilemma!Another more personal blog post tonight!<br /><br />As I stand here in front of the Coilfang Reservoir summoning stone, dancing with a male draenei whilst I wait for another party member to arrive to summon, my mind wanders off, remembering a certain tattoo design a kind artist sketched for me...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b231/anbu_neko/celessetattoo.jpg?t=1243664668"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 326px; height: 365px;" src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b231/anbu_neko/celessetattoo.jpg?t=1243664668" alt="" border="0" /></a>Personally, I *adore* it. I know some don't approve of tattoos, but this one is very special to me. Druidism, and just all things nature in general have been a passion of mine for a long time now; druids, specifically, a major part of my life for the past 3 years. My birthday is coming up in July, and my boyfriend has agreed to take me to get it and buy it for me as a gift. My only issue is I can't figure out where I want it =(<br /><br />Ideas so far:<br /><ul><li>on my back, near my left hip</li><li>on my stomach, near my left hip</li></ul>Other than those places, I can't think of a thing :( Shoulders are rather out of the question; I can't get it somewhere my parents could see if I was wearing a tank top or something like that. But I'd like to get everyone's opinion if they'd like to offer it ^^<br /><br />Also... color suggestions would be nice! I think I want to get it all in one color, not black.Corgiihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03943954469596201738noreply@blogger.com3
