Things and stuff, Alphabetized Edition.

A) Arthas = Dead. Kingslayer = Me. Aaaah, yes, the triumph is complete. Arthas slain, and I've got the title to prove it.

B) Blog. If I'm gonna blog more, which now that I've got some more spare time and a different, more better job I'll actually be able to if I want to (we'll see what happens), then I'm very inclined to redo my banner. I mean, look at that thing, it's dated. Plus we're no longer recruiting 'cause The Toxnation is now just my bank guild.

C) Cool Stuff. So I went ahead and got myself a tablet to better enhance my drawings electronically, and while it'll totally work and so far has quite nicely, it really takes some getting used to, mostly 'cause I'm not gonna spend the stupid amounts of money to get one that's got a screen built into it and as such not looking directly where my pencil/pen/whatever is placed throws me off. But hey, I got it yesterday, it's gonna take me longer than an hour or so of fiddling around to really get the hang of it. Kinda like Mouse Turning after being a keyboard turner for ages. You can do it, but it feels weird and at first it's really awkward, but you get used to it and you find that it actually improves your skills over time.

D) Drama, I hates it.

E) Elitist, which I can be sometimes, but more often than not (even though I'm up there as far as hunters who know their crap in my guild) I doubt that I'm actually good enough to call myself an Elitist Jerk. The helping people out who I don't even know and not being super judgemental helps reduce the jerkiness.

F) Finally. Finally downed him (arthas). Man, was he a jerk....though my random totally unintended two-to-three week hiatus that happened (finishing up last job + Monster Hunter Tri) probably didn't help the guild out in the whole "trying to down him" thing, but they've got other very competent hunters, I can't be the best...can I? (yes I can, and I like to think I am sometimes, makes me feel good to know that I can pass on what I know to others and get them to better themselves...as far as huntering goes.)

G) Grinding rep, Currently working on the Wintersaber Trainers, that's a niffty mount. Added bonus of Rugged Leather selling very well currently and I'm a skinner.

H) Hot. Stupid living in a desert (only technically, I'm in a city on 3 lakes), messes with my computer and forces the fan to run much louder than normal.

I) Intellect. Will no longer be necessary for hunters. Like, WTF? They're turning us into long range rogues. Oh well, frankly having to manage mana kinda stunk, and focus makes sense for hunters to use. Plus, have you SEEN Aspect of the Fox? That's gonna make movement fights soooo much better. Auto-shot while running = Win. (I know, I know, they'll probably nerf it or remove it sometime soon, but whatever, it's in there now.)

J) Just found out that I actually will be going back to school in the fall. That's quite a relief, I was rather worried about it for a while there. And for anyone who pays any attention to this site (which is probably very few if anyone[I know that you still pay attention every now and again Asara]) my intentions of heading through post secondary are to eventually wind up being a Professor. Lofty goals, but the only real ones I've ever had for my life, I'm gonna do it.

K) Kill Shot, still awesome, especially the Blood Queen fight + Crit + Black Arrow + Serpent Sting (talented, SV FTW) + ICC buff. I don't know my highest, but it's something kind of ridiculous. like 75k, maybe more. Can't remember....

L) I know I had something for L....and really, it's why I kept going on about stuff that didn't really matter....Hrmmm...I'll get back to it. Oh! I remember. LEGENDARY. Well, that's what I'm aiming for. Stupid very low drop rates and we wanting to drag a healer along to MC...Thunderfury, you shall be MINE!!! Oh, and thoridal would be neat too, but we actually need like a full group for that.

M) Misdirection, definitely something that all hunters that have it should use, like all the time. Especially if the tanks they've got in the LK fight are doing crazy things that involve the warrior intervening the pally for the soul reapers and knocking off large chunks of threat. Yeah...not so great, I definitely died that time, and I know for certain I was trying to kill vile spirits when Arthas attacked me. Feign Death is also a good idea.

N) Now, why did I start doing this whole alphabetized thing anyway? I mean, did I actually think that I'd have something for every letter of the alphabet? I know pretty much for certain that I didn't have that much at the beginning, but I'm pretty good at BSing it so we'll see where I head from here.

O) One Shot. Did I mention that we one-shot Arthas for my kill? Aaaah, sweet sweet vengeance.

P) Pondering. That's what I'm doing right now, as to what I should do post blogging...

Q) ...crap, this one's hard...and the one that immediately pops into my head is Quiyla, the lady I run MC with in order to get legendaries. And she's a druid, who can't use swords, where I'm a hunter, who can't use maces, so we're going for different legendaries. She's also weirdly in sync with how I think...or maybe I'm the one in sync with her...dunno, either way, she's not around to see this and I don't think she knows my blog's site address.

R) Reading. Books and stuff, I kinda have recently obsessed myself with Lore, and I'm in the middle of reading a bunch of the WoW books. And hey, they're not bad reads, plus you find out more about the history and the stories that are currently playing out from them, it's kinda cool.

S) Seriously, Why did I decide to do this? Ah well, I'm at S, let's just finish it, though some of the letters coming up may prove problematic.

T) Tanking. Heh, I got the tank gun to play around with. And 'cause it's not selling it went to Offspec roll (we normally go mainspec then bank for BoEs, but we got one last week that hasn't sold) and due to my more frequent tanking than anyone else I got it and can play around with it. Certain spreadsheets have told me it's a better option for me than Zod's. I'll have to find out for myself, 'cause I'm a hands-on kind of guy.

U) Undying. Dangit Orph! We were so close....and we were yelling at you! How could you stand in that void zone on Kel'thuzad! We were like 20% away from getting that title! I know, I know, you feel terrible, and yes, you're sorry. I get it, I really do. It just pains me that none of us got it, including yourself, because of one small crash in your train of thought. Don't worry, we still want you around.

V) Verve-Bladefist represent! We're doing pretty well for ourselves, though we've suddenly found ourselves lacking healers, which proves problematic for our 25 man attempts. Being a casual raiding guild, it's not easy to get 25 people together more than once a week, and considering that we didn't even do that this week and we still downed the face-roll bosses in there, I'd have to say that the buff definitely helps. But yeah, could use some more peeps. I know, it's summer, lots of people not around and all that crap.

W) Winterspring, totally my hearth currently. Cheater Tabard for the win. Definitely helps with the grinding of rep with the Wintersaber Trainers.

X) Xavius, he's one nasty dude. If you don't know who he is, he was Queen Azshara's advisor up until he was turned into a tree during the War of the Ancients, then *cough*spoiler*cough* we find him returned as the Nightmare Lord in the book Stormrage, and the reason why Malfurion hasn't been around in WoW to date. Chances are WoWwiki has more information on him.

(Also: that was just a ploy to get X covered)

Y) Yeah...these are getting rather weak of me...I should really wrap it up.

Z) Zandalar? I guess. Yeah, sure, why not, I'm kinda half grinding their rep too. Whatever

And with that, I bid thee farewell.

Good Hunting
