This Is It

Lol, first of all...I'm not blogging about the great MJ...I mean this is it as in ...I'm done high school. I know its not completely WoW related but hey...we all go a little off topic sometimes don't we? ;)

Back when I first was in grade 9, yesterday couldn't have come fast enough..but now that its over, I wish it wasn't. For my 8th grade graduation...I was a little sad...but not nearly as much as I was/still am. High school has just been so much better through the years, and for so many reasons. I got to see my friends that I left behind at my first school, then I took Exxy and Amorianth with me from my second school...and then I met so many other people when I went into high school. As much as some of them annoy me...I still miss them. :P I really never wanted this year to end, I never thought that the stupidest little thing like going out for lunch I would miss so much. I'll miss the school, and I'll miss a few teachers, I won't miss a few people though...there are some that I can't get away from fast enough :| There is very few things that I wouldn't give just to go back; just for a day...just to have one more day.

*Goes to clean tears off her glasses*

Oh wow, I think I'm good now. It's not all bad though, I am excited about getting my own place with Amorianth and about going to college. I know I will make new friends, but they will never, ever replace the old ones. In a way it is easier to stay in touch with people now then it was a long time ago...we has the interwebs naow ^^  But seriously...the term "bitter-sweet" fits this occasion perfectly. As sad that it is...there are probably some people that I will never see/speak to again...and that's just how it goes sometimes. But for the people who I really care about...I will try not to lose touch with them. Unless they go deleting their FaceBook behind my back I think we're good. :P  So that is it, I'm no longer a high school student, in September I will be a independent college student.

Again, if anyone has read this far...I am sorry that this isn't WoW related...But I will be updating this with more WoW stuff in the future, I want to take it a bit easy this summer and goof off as much as I can before I have to start thinking serious. I will post up more videos of WoW stuff...maybe write a few parodies...but I think my number one priority of this summer would to be to have as much fun as I can.

Midsummer

I am back my fellow WoWers! And I have my Midsummer title! :D This holiday wasn't as hard as I was thinking it to be. It is similar to the Lunar Festival...But you don't have to visit nearly as many places. This was a fun holiday, and for leveling alts the 10% buff you get from the Midsummer pole plus using heirlooms...I got from 30-40 in a few days on my mage. Andddd of course I got a pet out of it too ^^ The Spirit of Summer. This is a cool little pet because if you have the fishing skill, then you can fish for some Magic Eater. And what they do is they transform you into a random creature. A few of these can include a little green whelp, a cockroach, a little basilisk and a little red orb...which is cool because if you eat some and get the orb transformation with the pet out its like you have a twin :P So here it is, another title down

I only have one achievement left, its for Brewfest and then I get the meta, What A Long Strange Trip Its Been. And then I'd get the Violet Proto Drake ^^

Also, Exxy da Sexy is back in WoW-town. She finally got her time card...So its back to leveling for her :P But anyways, that is all for now.

Please Don't Stop Midsummer! :D

Ok, I am back...but not with the best of news...a little while ago I said that I would be working on a parody of Don't Stop the Music by Rihanna. Now the lyrics fit the song pretty well, and from what I've expierenced before...the faster the lines pop into your head for a parody...the better it will be becasue it just writes itself. That is what happened here, this one only took me about 2 days to write and edit. The bad part of this though was the recording, I finished the final version yesterday and it just sounds...off. I did the best I could with the audio editor I have (Audacity...I'm a fan of free :P ) but for some reason this one just sounds off. I think the idea sounded better in my head. So I'm at a crossraods...Gah! It's being attacked by the alliance! :P If anyone gets that little refrence. Should I try to rerecord it? Should I just upload it as is? Or should I just scrap the project? I'd love any input about this...I'm going to have Amorianth hopefully do a little test listen then I'll go from there :P

In the mean time, as I mentioned in my last post I waneted to make an arena video with Amorianth, the video could happen...just not yet. Simply beucase we need to practice our arana a bit mroe :P

Another idea that spawned by Amo and I at 12 a.m. was a machinima and a cover of the Tenacious D song Beezelboss. This would involve my lock in demon form...Amo and some of our other friends acting in it. Amo and I basically played out the whole thing as we listened to the song...and it would be a good idea. Its still a work in progress, if there are any advancements I shall post them here.

The last little bit of news that I have is that Midsummer starts today! :D I'm excited for this holiday, I have never done the achievements for it before so I'm excited to try. This is the last full holiday I need to complete before I get my Violet Proto-Drake. The very last achievement I need is to join the Brew of the Month club during the Brewfest holiday. I somehow forgot to do that one >.< I wish I got the achievements on another toon...one that I actually use...but as long as I have it...I may try to get them on my lock. So hopefully there will be moe videos uploaded from me...since Exxy the Sexy is still out of game time I promised her that I'd take videos of Midsummer for her :P

So that is the update for now :P

I Got A Jubling! :D

Helloooo :D How do you like the new blog layout? Sexy ain't it? ^^ I'm happy blogger finally gave us a way to personalize our blogs a bit more, I mean I'm all for custom templates...but I couldn't display my banner with them D: ... But now I can! I know it's not that WoWish but...you know...I tried to go along with the Death Knight colour scheme...Blues and whites and ...purple? :P Anyways yes point is I have a new template :P

I also have a new parody on the way...writing is done, just have to finish up the recording then its onto edits :P I found this one a bit like ShapeShift...Don't Stop the Music is a very repetitive song :| But nonetheless its almost done :D

Another lil' thing worth mentioning is that I'm getting yet another non-combat pet to add to my collection! ^^ It's a Jubling Why I didn't get this pet soon I do not know :| But I have it and now I'm counting down he hatches! :D You have to go into BRD, get a Dark Iron Mug then offer it to Morja at the Darkmoon Farie and she will give you a Jubling egg that will hatch in 7 days. If someone *cough* Exxy *cough!* had time I would have taken her to get one too :P ...Ah but the Darkmoon farie is at the beginning of each month so...I'll be watching for you in July Exxy>.> :P This months farie was in Elywnn Forest...So I had a little bit of fun playing with the Alliance :P My rule is I don't attack you if you don't attack me. But alas, I did get attacked while I was there...but not form any 80's who would come to defend Goldshire...I got attacked by 3 level 2's :| :P So that was a fun adventure in itself :P


And in other other news...AMORIANTH!!! I demand a new post from thee! P I have to periodically go to your blog and sweep away the dust collecting on it! :P

Which reminds me of a lil something elsee...I'm thinkin'...of course I will need Amo's input...but I was thinking of making a PvP video of Amo and I doing some 2's...I think I'm onto another project  :P But anyways that is jsut another update :P

O.o

Well it has been a while! I do apologize for my slacking off in blogging but I haven't had much to blog about. There have been no holidays, my new guild well...that's a whole new thing :P And excuse my poor spelling, I'm on a school computer without my beloved spell check D: Damn you Internet Explorer 6! Yes we haven't upgraded yet... I miss my Mozilla ... T.T

Anyways as I was saying about ...well...screw it :P Nothing has happened so far that's is interesting enough to post here HOWEVER there are some interesting things that will be happening in the near future. One of them is the Midsummer festival that is coming up soon in WoW...I am excited for this one because I have never done the achievements for it before... and from what I've heard we have to go into the enemy factions cities to extinguish their flames. Now being the PvPer I am I always love getting into battles in places where I'm not supposed to be :P

Next thing that is coming up I think I mentioned already in the previous post is that I am working on 2 new parodies. One of which is almost fully written, after it is done I am planning to record it then proceed to the second one.

Tiny Emerald Whelp

Wow, I must say I haven't added a new post in a while :| I have been busy though :P My prom was last night so yeah. Busy before getting a dress and whatnot and busy after :P Anyways I do have some interresting things to post about. The first one has a little bit of a story to it


In any of the 3 Lich Kings heroics released not too long ago, the trash mobs all have a chance to drop this Battered Hilt And on one faithful Pit of Saron run...It dropped. Now I had shortly before won a 3 person mammoth, so I couldn't be too disappointed that I didn't win it...But the person who did just so happened to be my Amorianth <3

So this leads us a little further...Amo sold the hilt on the AH because he is already geared...very well geared :P So he had no use for the hilt. That same day a few hours later someone bought it. Now, there is a pet that I have tried farming for... Tiny Emerald Whelpling. This pet has a1 in 1000 drop rate chance...and lets just say I gave up once I killed 300 of them :P But with the money Amo got from selling the hilt he bought me the whelp! ^^ This is the only rare pet that I didn't put on my DK....because I wanted to show it off so I put it on my lock (I play her 10 times more than my death knight) So I made a little video of my whelp, I tried to upload it on YouTube but I forgot to cite the song I used in the credits so they had blocked the audio -.- But I'll upload it here.




In other rather sad news, the guild that I have been apart of Vicious Tactics has called it quits. This was the first guild that I have ever raided with I had many fun times with them and I met a lot of cool people. But the GM inadvertently passed on lead to one of the officers. He couldn't run the whole guild himself so one thing leads to another and now they're done. It makes me sad because some of the people there I got to know and liked...we were an amazing guild at the start however once we expanded things just kinda fell to the wayside. But it happens...So myself, Amo and some of IRL friends have our own guild now. Anguish. We are a casual guild seeing as we all have school and stuff :P And we are still recruiting members! If you're on Anub'Arak pst me :P


More news...I have a new parody out! Its to the tune of Everytime We Touch by Cascada



I am working on 2 new parody's atm, one has basically written itself :P So look out for those soon. Anyways that is all for now

80 Warlock ShapeShifting Mammoth! :D

Well this is an exciting post :D The first little bit of news is ...yes as the title of this says, I finally got my warlock to 80! :D And to put the cherry on top of this...as I was in the process of gearing up, I decided to try a VoA to get some gear. Well no cloth stuff dropped...but this did Reins of the Black War Mammoth! This has a 1-2% drop chance and also you have to win a roll again 10 or 25 other people. And I did it! :D





The other bit of news that I have is that I have finally gotten to releasing my ShapeShift song :P There is no machinima for it, although I MAY get around to making one...because I have always wanted to make one for this song. It would make the song a bit more understandable :P But nonetheless here it is:

Star...Failer?

Well this is a sad post for me. It all started today...being Friday there were no raids scheduled so a few guildies and I decided to try for The Undying. Well it didn't go over very well, someone died on the The Dance. Usually they say that it is the person who has never been there who dies, but I was the exception to the rule...the guy we had there had been there and done it before, and I having gotten ICC geared after Naxxaramas was "old school" had no idea what to do on the dance. I must say that it was easier than I had heard it to be...but until just now it never occurred to me to watch a  video for it >.< /sigh

So, that was the first bad event. The second I would say is the more disappointing one... after we gave up on the Naxx run, we went and tried for Observed. Which what you have to do seems pretty simple, just kill the boss and you get the title Starcaller. This is a title I knew I had to have ever since I seen it. Any one of my real life friends can attest to the fact that I love stars in real life, and the fact that I think the title would go well with my paladin's name.

Starcaller Cyphice

(sorry about the colours :P ) 

But, all did not go over so well...we tried this achievement with a half of my guild Vicious Tactics and half of one of the top raiding guilds on my server, Arctica. Now there are 2 things you have to worry about with this boss.

1) He is only avaliable for 1 hour during the raid duration, after that he is not killable until next reset.
And
2) He is only avaliable for kill on Ulduar hardmode.

No pressure right?

Well I have done ICC, cleared up to Sindragosa, but still this proved to be a challenge. This fight is very healer intense. I would almost go as far as to say that Algalon hits as fast and as hard as a rogue to the tanks. The fight mechanics are there, it's not the most complicated thing but it does prove a challenge. After trying for about 45 mins. Amorianth and I became removed from the group so they could bring in "better" people to replace us. This made me sad...a chance to get the title I want more than any other one in the game and I couldn't stay to get it...or I could have been the problem with us not getting it. It does suck, but we were promised that we would get carried by 9 Arctica. members to get it so...I am really hoping they follow through with it.

But there is a note of good news in light of all this bad...my Warlock is 79...halfway to 80 :D So it's not all bad :P

Guy In Real Life

If you have ever been in Trade Chat...chances you have heard this. It's usually said after someone says that they are a girl. The title of this is from the popular some boys on WoW like to say when a female claims that she plays WoW. I have a few questions about this...

1) Why is it so impossible that a girl plays video games? Not all of us are out at the mall (unless its an EB games :P) getting out nails done etc...Just the same that not all boys are out on the football or whatever field you desire

2) If we (girls) do play WoW...why aren't we automatically thought to not be as good as a male player? Whether you are male or female...it takes a knowledge of your class to be able to excel at it. So a female is just as likely to be good or bad at a certain class as a male. If you were to be in a PUG and no one knew your gender, and the run goes well after if you admitted to being female...chances are no one would believe you unless you were to go into vent.

3) Why are girls stereotypically always healers? Granted I do have a holy paladin, and I do heal raids. However I know many females who DPS and do a good job of it. Hell, I've met a few good female tanks in my Wow days too.  .

The bottom line is, that if you admit to being a girl who plays WoW (personally I don't go around flaunting the fact...but rather only mention it when I need to. however I am proud to be a girl gamer)  you are bound to witness if not be apart of some kind of discrimination. It happens to everyone with race and gender etc... The most you can do is just keep playing. There are people who are perfectly fine with girls playing WoW, and they treat you good. In my opinion the positives of playing outweigh the negatives.

For the Children!

Yes! I knew it wouldn't be that long until I updated this :P I just got the achievement a few minuets ago. I must say, there aren't many achievements you need to complete for the Meta Achievement. However the few that you have to do are challenging. As I mentioned in the post below...School of Hard Knocks was the achievement that I was most worried about how to get, but when I actually went out and tried for this achievement I learned some things.

1) This is probably the only time you will ever be allowed into the opposite faction's flag room in Warsong Gulch :P
2) The Horde and the Alliance can actually work together...because in Lore and in general game play...the factions are made to hate each other. And rightfully so, it adds more to the game rather than one giant group of people on the same side trying to defeat one enemy etc...

Personally though, concerning this one achievement...I would say you need a combination of people who are trying to accomplish the same thing you are, people who are willing to cooperate and help others with the achievements and a little bit of luck :P

This holiday definitely handed me some challenges but they were fun nonetheless. If you're not level 80 then sadly you cannot complete the achievements. However, you can do the orphan quests. There are three sets of orphans you can get: Orc Orphan (Orgrimmar) or Human Orphan (Stromwind), Blood Elf Orphan or Dranei Orphan in Shattrath and a Wolvar Orphan or an Oracle Orphan in Dalaran. These quests reward various amounts of money for taking your Orphan "sight-seeing."

Before I go, I would just like to take a minuet to thank all of the people in the BGs who helped with this achievement. And a special thank you to the Alliance who had mercy and didn't kill my under geared Death Knight <3 :P

Well that is my advice on the achievements! Happy orphan helping! :P
