Life is annoying sometimes, as I've stated before. But now I have a nice distraction from the annoying. I installed WoW to my computer.
That's right. Cower in the corner in horror. I downloaded WoW.
It all happened one fateful day when I returned home from another average, shitty day at work. I walked in to find my beloved sitting in front of my laptop with a very analytical furrow upon his brow. I inquired what he was so focused on, and his next words sent my mind into a spiral of confusion, frustration, and excitement.
"Your laptop can run WoW."
My mind stopped for a second until I began experiencing the aforementioned mental states.
"Bullshit." I replied in complete and total doubt.
"No seriously. Your laptop can run WoW. I've been looking at the requirements and the specs of your laptop. You can run WoW."
"Bullshit." I replied again. This was far too wondrous to be true.
"Come look."
He beckoned me toward himself and my laptop; I abliged and walked over, my face flushed with delight as he proved his words using battle.net as his fact-verifier. I always thought my laptop was too simple to handle something as epic as WoW, hell it could barely run MapleStory, but I was incorrect.
Being as he was a WoW nerd from back in the olden times when it was simply "Warcraft," he had every expansion at the ready and all that was left to do was get it on my computer. It didn't take long thanks to my wonderful new-ish internet connection, and within a day I had made a character in a server and was enjoying the simple bits of being a noob. He guided me around the battle system, the world in general, gave me his very detailed views on the races and classes, told me which were the most fun and which required the most strategy, etc. Eventually I pinpointed what I wanted to get out of the game, then came the hard part. Picking a permanent server (or at least one to hold me over if I decide to transfer to a different realm). Long story short, I picked Maeiv.
So now, here I am, snappin' necks and cashin' checks, kicking ass on my Blood Elf Paladin. I originally started with an Undead Warlock, but after deciding I wanted a bit more smash-face and health, I got completely obsessed with my pally. Plus becoming boss at Herbalism, thus earning shitloads of extra EXP as well as a few extra gold on the side, made it way more fun than my lock. Instead of relying on a minion to do the tanking, I'm the tank. And it feels good. So if you're in my neck of the realms, don't be bashful. I'm always looking for some non-douches to put on my friend list. Nimka's my lock. Eyrrül's my pally. Sup.
