Ramblings on WoW (World of Warcraft)

So…. I feel like rambling about some of the toons I have on the game simply known as WOW or for those who don’t know, World of Warcraft. Unlike some people I don’t follow the story line too closely, after all, it’s more about the game play for me.

From the choosing to play ALLIANCE or HORDE ( i play both, but mainly alliance), then which race, class, and which professions to take. You also get to personalize a look when you get ready to make your character, you can even make them male or female, and you even get to make a name for them…

Alliance Races :

NIGHT ELF, DRAENEI, GNOME, DWARF, HUMAN, and soon to be WORGEN (with Cataclysm expansion)

Horde Races :

ORC, UNDEAD, TAUREN, BLOOD ELF, TROLL, and soon to be GOBLIN (in Cataclysm expansion)

Classes:

HUNTER, DRUID, WARLOCK, MAGE, SHAMAN, PALADIN, WARRIOR, ROGUE, DEATH KNIGHT, PRIEST

I have several toons ( characters ) on WoW which cover several different levels, but the ones ! like most are already level 80 or soon to be level 80 (this is the highest level you can obtain on any toon so far).

I have a Night Elf Hunter named CONSTANTCAS. She was the first toon I ever made in the game, and the first to level 80. I have her dual spec’d ( trained her so i could have 2 different talent tree builds) in Survival and Marksmanship.

The professions on my hunter are Mining & Herbalism. I use her to gather materials for my toons that can use ore, motes of all sorts, gems, and plants to make flasks and potions.

I also have a Draenei Shaman named ASSIRACA. even though she was the second toon that I leveled to 80, she has become my main toon ( the one that I play the most). I have dual spec’d her in RESTORATION and ENHANCEMENT. In the restoration spec i am able to heal the groups that i am in and usually enjoy doing so!

I have put Alchemy (being able to make potions, flasks, and transmuting items to make better items from combining them) and Jewelcrafting ( i can make jewelry for my own toons & for other people, but more importantly i can cut gems that i can put in my gear to boost stats or sell them for a nice amount of gold) on this toon. This toon uses the most materials from what i gather with my hunter.

The next highest toon is my Gnome Mage named SASHARA. She is currently level 78 and a lot of fun to play. I do not have her dual spec’d yet, so for now she is a FROST MAGE which allows her to do a lot of damage while she continues to level up to 80.

My mage is still working on leveling Tailoring (ability to make CLOTH level gear and different threads that can be added to the legs for stat boosts… i can also embroider my own gear, and Flying Carpet mounts that only those with Tailoring can use!) and her Enchanting (ability to apply enchants to my own and other people’s gear to help with stats or special abilities).

Some people may find this game a waste of time, but I would rather spend $15.00 a month to play instead of wasting over $50.00 for one night out at the bar. It has take 4 & 1/2 years of playing to end up in a guild in game that works to help everyone and is laid back to boot.

So, here is a shout-out to all the guild members in GUARDIANS!!!

Thanks for all of your continued help! You make me feel at home, and provide us all with a lot of laughs!

And a special thank you to ARBARINE & the officers in the guild as well!

I also have to mention my hubby’s toon BASUTEICLONE… he started helping me shortly after we met in game.. who would have known it was the place we would meet the person that we were meant to be with!

I GUESS THAT IS ALL I WANT TO RAMBLE ABOUT FOR NOW… HAVE A GREAT MORNING EVERYONE !

FOR THE ALLIANCE!!!! woot woot

R.O.F.L.M.A.O!

Instructions to view our toppers for the wedding cake!!!

If you want to see what each of our toppers is going to look like... go to the following site & follow directions below it! (you can also watch a video on how they are made as well)


CLICK HERE ----> FIGURE PRINTS & HOW THEY ARE MADE


1) On the left side of the page are a bunch of buttons & then some with pictures... click the picture button that says MAKE ME ONE!


2)you will then get a page that will ask for the character name, realm & region...

Carissa's Toon:

Name ASSIRACA

Realm LLANE

Region US and Oceanic

Gabriel's Toon:

Name BASUTEICLONE

Realm LLANE

Region US and Oceanic


3) after you have entered the information for ONE of the toons click ADD CHARACTER this will take you to a preview page of the toon...

4) on the right side of the preview area there is a list with check boxes next to them... UNCHECK the following SHOW HELM , and SHOW TABARD making the only box checked being SHOW CLOAK

this should give you an idea of what the toppers will look like... we have chosen poses for them as well, but that part isn't a big deal... we chose ones that will make the faces of the characters visible & give a better view of the gear & weapons they have as well! we would have left the tabards on (either guild or faction or reward tabards) but they covered up the front of the gear as well as the awesome new belt i got on my shaman a few days ago :P most likely by the wedding we will have upgraded our gear from what will be on the figurines, but that's all part of the game :)

Overall, it will make for a very unique cake once it is all set up :) after all, WoW is where we first met... so to all the doubters out there... YOU CAN FIND LOVE ONLINE :) Gabe & I are living proof of that!

The sun has returned... that doesn't always mean a great day though....

Okay, so the picture is from last summer when my husband (then boyfriend) and I stopped through at my parent's place in WI on our move to New York (Upstate), but i needed to brighten up things a little bit!

I am happy the sun has returned, it's nice to have all my planters back outside and the room back in my laundry room & kitchen entry area.

I know i should be quite happy for the wonderful turn in the weather, but some of the small things have been irritating me lately. One which includes a newspaper delivery service calling & then hanging up when i answer... HOW RUDE! If you are going to call me.. either leave a message or say something when i answer. Grrrr.

My husband's parents are always trying to do things for us... i do appreciate this, but when it comes down to the reception they are having here in NY next month... i am a bit frustrated! The planning for the reception is fine.. i keep telling them its okay to keep everything simple.

I am glad they have offered for my parents to stay at their house, but my parents & I have already arranged for them to stay at our place. And since my dad has arthritis in his back, they are picking me up a new air mattress (queen size) for my husband & I to sleep on, and they will have our room to use. My MIL (mother in law) has also gone & picked out MY thank-you cards for me... a nice gesture... but i do not like pink for one ... and i was planning on MAKING my thank-you cards... so what do i do now? *SIGH*

Other than that.. life goes on day to day... when hubby gets home, we are to order our figure prints of our WoW toons. We are using these as our cake toppers (well they will be on stands on either side of the cake if all goes as planned) and they are the only thing that the hubby has requested to having for the wedding, so i will not tell him NO... i actually think it's rather unique (and for those who know me, i tend to enjoy doing things differently)!

I also get to order my other invitations either later this week or next! I have to call the company which i ordered out toasting glasses through as they didn't answer or call back yesterday & i want to know when they plan on shipping them as they are already paid for & the transaction through paypal is complete!

I hope everyone's day goes much smoother than mine & ENJOY THE SUNSHINE! I'm sure I'll get around to it before sundown LOL

A Day to Relax

So last night was a bit rough for me.. just the everyday worries & stresses finally got to me & i broke down in tears even after such a great day!

I had a great day with my husband yesterday... we went to Montour Falls, NY so i could get the measurements for my dress ( i still have to convert it all from inches to centimeters so i can fill out the order online ). We even stopped at Pizza Hut to take advantage of their $10.00 pizza deal :) so we came home with 2 large meat-lovers as the bread sticks & boneless wings and the salad bar filled us up before we could even get to the pizza.

Once we got home we played some WoW (World of Warcraft) and then I had gone to get some sleep & hubby came in & i just started crying... I don't know what i would do without him! after the episode of crying & stressing out, we decided to watch FANTASTIC MR. FOX... it was pretty good, even though i started to fall asleep & finished watching it this morning!

Today was a day where we woke up around 1pm ... a day of relaxing & being lazy around the house, and went for a walk to the pond at his parents house with the pup running rampant around the woods probably scaring the life out of every little thing she came across.. then back inside to watch some different tv shows (COLD CASE, BONES, NCIS,and a few others we like ) then he went to bed at 9pm since he has to be up at about 2am for early OT.

So now i sit here writing & wondering what i should do as the 3rd PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN is on and the pup is sprawled out on the couch sleeping peacefully with a small snore now & then... she must be chasing rabbits again too as her paws are twitching from time to time as well.

Perhaps i'll log on to WoW & level my mage some more or work on the gear set for my shammy's enhacement set... or hope to get into some runs to get more gear for her resto set... either way its been a great day, and light rain is forecast for tonight, and i can live with that :)

I hope everyone stays safe till my next entry & that everyone may find a reason to smile everyday!
