You're Coming With Us

Well hello readers, long time no legit update/post!

I know that it's been forever since I've done a proper post. I'm sure a few of you have been wondering why I haven't been doing my shared topics, haven't finished either the 20 Days of challenge or even Through Your Interface, or why Hoarders: Azeroth Edition has more or less dropped off of the face of my blog. I could in theory blame it on the fact that I was pretty sick for the past few weeks, distracted by caring for the family a few weeks before the weeks of being ill, been distracted by a certain someone, playing WoW far too much...blah blah blah. I have excuses coming out the nose.

Essentially I've been taking an unintentional break from blogging/writing because of brain soup. I write internally most of the time, and lately I either come up with nothing or I just sound like a total asshole to myself. Therefor, I haven't written much. So what have I been doing?

1) Semi started raiding on Saz again. It's nothing serious since the guild I'm in is super casual. Casual as in only one raid group a week, normal modes only. Three raid nights a week, one of which is an alt run for taking out BoT/BWD. I won't be sniffing Ragnaros' butt crack anytime soon, but it's nice to try and get back into the swing of things once again.

2) I hit level 25 irl last Friday. I'd say there was cake, but there wasn't. Instead there was a giant cookie! And leftovers. It was an amazing birthday : D

3) There's a new boy in my life. No, you cannot have him.

4) It's getting cold as shit here. My summer has disappeared all too soon. Do you know what weather in the 60s and constant clouds do to me? It makes me miserable and unproductive. Throw that onto my list of poor excuses as to why I haven't been writing lately.

5) Alright, we've finally arrived to the super important part of this update:

Battle of Serenity is back!

Yeah, I may or may not have decided to give into the itch and tossed out the idea to my old officers to restart BoS. Why? Because even though the raiding type guilds we have found ourselves in are rather nice, the communities are already rather set in stone which of course leaves very little room for us to connect with these groups on some level. These guilds contain great people, contain more or less what we're looking for in a raiding environment at this moment in time, but they just don't quite feel like home. So we decided to restart Battle of Serenity as a strictly social guild. We might do some throw back raiding now and again, take out Baradin Hold if we have the people on, and run the occasional heroic, but for now our main focus is to have a place where we can relax, bullshit, and host the events we always had fun with but no one else on Aggramar does (Halloween parties, game nights, etc).

In the event that you find yourself to be rolling an Alliance toon on Aggramar (US) and need a home to hang in, hit us up! Our doors are once again officially open and we'd love to have you aboard!

Friday Updates

It's that day. That one day of the week that marks the ending of the work week for some and the beginning of the work weekend for others. That's right, it's Friday. Here be the updates of the week for this blog and of course for myself (because I know you're super interested!).

WoS Updates
Nothing really mind blowing to report. This blog is in need of a few updates (all of the tabs could use some TLC), a new poll needs to be put up, and I should probably clean up a few other minor things. None of this has been taken care of yet, but hopefully should be done in the next week or two. Assuming I find time and whatnot.

In-Game Updates
- I'm now up to four level 85s.
- My DK is in the works. Leveling her as blood, which is by the way more fun than should be allowed. Still a bit surprised that she's getting leveled at all, but hey, there ya go.
- I've managed to tame two new rares, much to the thanks of some friends. Aotona (renamed Saylind) and King Krush (renamed Drama) are now my new pals. Now all that's left for that one is to level the her to 85 for the Cataclysm and possibly eventually the Firelands rares as well.


RL Updates
Grandma is doing excellent. She's 300x better than she was a few days ago. Turns out one of her medications was mixing badly with her pain killers which was causing her to go a bit woofy, so they switched her pain meds and now she's back to her old feisty self. She's now back in town at a nursing home for physical therapy and is expected to return home in the next 18 days or so. It's pretty crazy how a painful but non-life threatening issue with a pancreas and a mix up of meds can result in thoughts for the worst.

Grandpa is pretty awesome to hang around. Thankfully he's not too picky of an eater and seems to be able to stomach my so-called cooking alright. Other family members (my aunt and uncles) have been in and out all week to help out and take my grandfather on the journey to Green Bay. Turns out a few of my family members were working 12 hour shifts, which is a completely valid excuse for not being around as much. Others are still a bit MIA though, which is irksome.

Other than a few minor issues here and there, things are much better. I'm eager to get home again, but I'm trying to at least enjoy my stay here. Otherwise, nothing much else to report. Life is life, and it keeps on keepin' on.


Have an excellent weekend all!
