You should write your name on your underwear, Double D. See? I'm "Hand-Wash Only"!

LEVELS:

• Idachi hit 68 on Thursday, which I kinda forgot to mention. Two more levels!
• Nol is 35 now and getting closer and closer to his robobird. Yay, robobirds!
• Hanryn hit 24 early this morning, which was awesome. Being a spookypriest not only allows me to plow through my enemies, but also my mana! I have to drink after every two fights...yeesh.
• Today was a good day for priests; Lyndall hit 33 while in Scarlet Monastery! And thanks to Berronar's crazy ass SM tactics, we did 3 runs in maybe 30 minutes and I got Whitemane's Chapau Chapaeu Chapaeo Hat.

OTHER:

• Also hooray for Jeefs and his shiny new epic mount! Way to not be slow anymore!
• It was decided almost unanimously that Kaie be booted out of the guild, which fills me with almost a little schoolgirlish delight! Sure, Zammi or Fodder or whatever might be a little upset, but she was a total mooch and one of those creepy desparate housewives just begging for some cybering, which only makes me wonder what's going on at the Bunger household. Oh sure, Bunger, I might be able to heal "Almost as well as you" (fucking prick), but you can't even satisfy your wife! HA!

And someday, when the world is rid of Manbearpig, everyone will say, "Thank you Al Gore—you're super awesome!"

LEVELS:

• Idachi just hit 67 from all this instance running mania going on. It's great to be levelling her again.

OTHER:

• We've been going to Old Hillsbrad a lot lately...and it's probably my second or third favorite instance. It's fairly short, it involves Thrall, elf characters become human, and you only have so many tries to get it right and then it's all over!
• Idachi + officer rank = PHENOMINAL COSMIC POWER!
• Illum. also did a 12-man ZG run on Thursday and obliterated everything in our path until we got to the spider boss. Got her down to 7% though...she was as good as dead. Anyway, won the [Blood Scythe], which allows me to pick herbs in ZG....woo, I'm useful!
• Speaking of useful, Idachi found a [Design: Living Teardrop Ruby], which sells on the AH anywhere between 300 and 450 gold. Of course, I'm a good person (read: chump) and it's in Tyranis' little squiddy hands.

Laugh now, lady. After a month of eating cockroaches, you will be begging for gerbster.

LEVELS:

• Nollerskates! 34! Woo!

Up yours, Zoidberg. Up wherever your species traditionally crams things.

LEVELS:

• Hanryn's at it again, now at levle 23. I feel kinda bad for not playing him in quite a while, but now that he's shadow specced he'll probably level faster (I hope). Well, he's not 100% shadow. Han's actually got a very weirdo 22/5/33 thing going on. Those 5 points in healing are mostly there to boost my Renew and make sure my healing spells don't get interrupted when I have to heal.

OTHER:

• Just messing around on the intertubes, and I found out if I sold Idachi, she'd go for at least $450. Fucking nuts. Buying and selling characters is morally wrong and for total pussies (and I'm pretty sure gold/account buyers have their very own level of hell), but if I ever was to do that she'd sell for at least $420-450. Yeesh.
• Also whilst messing around, I snagged a Burning Crusade (AKA "How to level your character from 60 to 70") guide. I thought it was going to be bad engrish and a crappy .doc file; it's actually a very, very nicely written .psd with lots of info. Who knew? I don't think I'll be using it that much (I mean, Idachi's already more than halfway to 70), but it is cool to see in what order I should be doing quests and where the super best spot to grind is.

Little fools! I am Lucifer! Beelzebub! The Reaper of Souls! The Really Angry One!

LEVELS:

• Hanryn became a spooky priest and hit 22 today. Well, Spooky/dicipline, but who's counting? When fighting beasts I couldn't tell much of a difference between going shadow or staying holy, but on humanoids I seemed to be wiping them out much faster. Of course, I only have about 20 points into the shadow tree right now, so I'm sure there's not all that much of a glaring difference yet.

... Are you suggesting that coconuts migrate?

LEVELS:

• Shendir (remember her?) hit 45 today! What started out as a Whelp farming session in the Badlands (I want a whelp pet for her) turned into a full-fledged grind marathon. And what fun it sorta was!

How hard can it be to blow up a room full of gasoline?

LEVELS:

• Idachi hit 66 last night AND got some mondo fancy new pauldrons. I'd call that a good day. Also finished Underbog for the first time yesterday. That end boss is a weird dude, but I just can't complain about floating above everyone's head out of range of the boss healing everyone.
• Nollerskates (now on Staggy-waggy-helm!) hit 33 this afternoon and is learning how to Frost Nova/Blizzard grind. Sure, he's died and awful lot when I was first learning how, BUT IT'S TOO DAMN FUN. He's up to killing at least three things at once pretty well; four mobs at a time is a little more difficult, but still possible (sometimes). He needs a LOT more mana to pull this tactic off, though.

I'm having a major hat crisis. Could you steal Pikachu some other time?

LEVELS:

• Idachi went from 48% to about 62% today, which doesn't really sound like much, but it is. I mean, each quest gives about 10,500 experience, and I only went up like 20 percent! If I quest like madness today, I might even be able to level her (only 22 quests to go!). Of course, my real goal is to just get her up another 20-or-so percent.

OTHER:

• We will be attempting to transfer Nol for realsies this time. I tried on Wednesday and it seemed like it was going to let me transfer him....asking questions I've never seen it ask before (such as "Do you want to transfer this character?" and "What is your credit card info?"). Who knows, maybe he will get transferred today. I know I was going to wait until 40 to move him, but he's just too gimpy to do anything with right now.
• Hanryn, Hanryn, Hanryn. What to do with him? Actually, to spice things up between him and Lyndall, Han might go Dicipline/Holy. Or maybe even throw some Shadow talents in there. It's all speculative.

We look like bad guys! Incompetent bad guys!

LEVELS:

• Lyndall's up to level 32, woo! She finally got Mind Control, which is really more fun than it needs to be. She also got her "when I die I become a spirit healer" thing, which will be useful....eventually...but since Jeff's dr00d and I don't do a lot of dying, it's just kinda there.
• Nol also hit 32 this afternoon as well. Looks like I'll be paying for two mounts at the same time...again. Bah. Anyway, Stranglethorn Vale is a hellhole on PvP servers. Can't complain too much though...I've had my share of ganking Blood Elves.

Pen, your mind has been transported back in time! ...and to Mars.

LEVELS:

• Nollerskates is up to 30, and has graduated from Darkshore, ready to take on the wide world of Arathi Highlands, Stranglethorn Vale, or Desolace. Hm. I forsee more ganking in Nol's future.
• Lyndall hit 29 this afternoon, with no thanks to some asshole Draenei shaman. He was doing one of those "things are gonna spawn out of nowhere and GETCHA!" right as I got a little too close, the mobs aggro'd me, and he went into wolf mode and ran off. Thanks, buddy. Don't count on getting a heal, rez, or fortitude buff. Ever.

Don't let me fall into nothingness! I won't be happy there!

LEVELS:

• Ol' Nollerskates is up to level 29. Soon he'll be leaving the wide world of Hillsbrad alone, and enter the even wider and scarier world of Desolace, Stranglethorn Vale, and Arathi Highlands. Fun times.
• Lyndall is halfway through 27 and I'll probably finish it off tomorrow, whatever.

OTHER:

• It seems while I was off munching on birthday cake yesterday WoL allied with Band of Pirates, my old old old guild. I've checked the roster, and it seems that all the cool people have left BoP a while ago. Not implying that the new BoP is full of dumbasses and goldbegging morons, just saying that all these guys are new to me.

OH MY GOD!! Why are diaper deliverymen trying to kill you?

LEVELS:

• Lyndall is now 27!

OTHER:

• It looks like Ony's been spared for another week. Due to the lack of participation, the Ony run was cancelled. Bummer.

Mr. Garrison, every Christmas you suggest we get rid of all the Mexicans, and every Christmas we tell you, "NO!"

LEVELS:

• Not only did Idachi hit 65 today, she got to 65 by slaying Draenei! Fun times.

OTHER:

Herbs gathered for Ony:

• Mountain Silversage x 20
• Felweed x 40
• Ragveil x 20
• Dreaming Glory x 40

Here's hoping Ath can do some Alchemy magic with them

You know? Sometimes me conscience kinda bothers me... But not this time.

LEVELS:

• Idachi is 78% through level 64 at the time of writing, which means she should definately hit 65 by late tonight/tomorrow afternoon. After that, it's time to gather herbs for our next Ony run!

Mos Eisley spaceport. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.

LEVELS:

• Nol is up to 28, which means he's finally able to conjure Mana Stones!
• Lyndall hit 26 yesterday afternoon!

You're a loser, which means I'm a loser, which means my dad was right!

LEVELS:

• Lyndall is up to level 25, and I must say...Fear Ward is the beez kneez.
• Nol ("Nollerskates") hit 27 yesterday. Due to transferring complications, he'll have to stay on Balnazzar for a while, which I'm ok with. PvP servers build character, I suppose.
• Hanryn is up to 20 and trying to finish up some dinky quests so I can start bringing him into Thousand Needles.
• Zyre is still chuggin' along at level 15. He's not my primary concern, so he doesn't get played much, unless he's fully rested.

OTHER:

• Tonight WoL's headed to Onyxia's Lair. I think it's a guild first. Idachi's been running her epic ram ragged trying to gather enough herbs to help out with the potion-making process. Also, I wish Fel Blossoms weren't soulbound. Needless to say, pictures will be taken. Moving pictures.

For the record, I want you to know: rocks aren't people.

When we last left off...


LEVELS:

• Idachi hit 64! What the hell is Seal of Vengance?!?
• Lyndall, the priest created mostly to help out the WoL homies, is up to level 13!

OTHER:

• Nol is being transferred to the Staghelm server. I tried the whole PvP thing out...it was ok...I just am not too fond of the whole "gonna gank your squishy mage" aspect of it. There are only so many ways I can contain my frustration! I'm sure I'll give the PvP server another try...but not with something so small and fragile.

Will being teleported to our doom be fun and Christmassy?

LEVELS:

• Nol has jumped up two levels in the last few days. Now he's 25! YAY FOR NOL!
• Hanryn also hit 18 yesterday, which...uh...I don't remember what he learned. A new rank of Mind Blast maybe?

OTHER:

• Nol's talent tree has been redone. He's still a little frost mage (short and stout...), but now he's 25% more cooler.

Oh, that was a frost pun. I get it. Tee hee

Everyone has AIDS! AIDS AIDS AIDS!

LEVELS:

• Idachi hit 63 yesterday out with her homeboys in Hellfire Ramparts. She only needed one more talent point to get Blessing of Kings....so she did. Woo! Kings!
• Hanryn hit 17 today, which means I can finally start using those fancy rings Jeff made for me. Thank you Mr. Jeefs!

OTHER:

• Idachi went to the Eye of the Storm battleground for the first time today. I must say, it's quite...interesting. Not as big as AV, but bigger than AB, but still laggy enough to freak out my laptop. Fun.
• I feel stupid for not talking about this already, but:

Yep.

I'm gonna write a personal check, and in the memo line, I am writing "Unfair."

LEVELS:

• Nol hit 23, which...doesn't really mean anything. No new spells...but he got some nice robes to drop. Oh, and his conjure food/water stuff went up.

OTHER:

• Idachi went to Blood Furnace for the first time last night. Didn't get much there, but I walked away with 18 gold, so it's hard to complain.
