Sheer Overload

There's so much to write about:
  • tanking as a pally tank,
  • dpsing as a shadow priest
  • dpsing as my alts (rogue, mage, druid),
  • healing and dpsing with the dual specs,
  • professions,
  • the agony of min-maxing and the joy of finding Pawn, an addon that lets me vendor items with impunity and whisper little praises of the ease it gives,
  • new fishing changes,
  • winning the weekly Sunday fishing tournament AGAIN for a lark and what it means to be Salty,
  • how much I hate selling items on the AH.
I'll make it my mission to tackle at least a few of these items all week.

Something that I'm not sure that I've shared here is my turnaround in real life issues.
  • I've taken up on a boxing gym. I shouldn't enjoy threatening to beat up defenseless guys with nothing to back it up :)
  • I've decided to dedicate myself to attend graduate school to go into a passion of mine: mental health.
  • I've also decided to move to a different city at the end of the year at most.
  • I'd like to get a federal job.
  • I've fell for someone but since we agree that we're not interested in long-distance relationships, we won't be exploring anything more than a friendship. I'm saddened but I wouldn't trade anything in the world for feeling those butterflies in my stomach again, something I haven't felt in years. So thank you for giving me that hope that it's possible for me to like someone.
A friend of mine shared this idea about processing information internally: that one doesn't need to dwell on an issue once that person comes to the best conclusion he could and no further information is given to adapt the conclusion. I'm taken by this idea as a worrier and trying to wrap my head around it.

I rarely write down some of the fucked up things I encounter in the game but I encountered one of the notorious drama kings on my server who basically bellowed at me for half an hour to look at some picture of his burnt junk, which became that way after exposing it to an overheated lava lamp which contains oil and antifreeze. He described it as having the appearance of Jupiter, only stretched out along the surface. I was crying with laughter but refused to look.

And if a new friend of mine happens to read this post, thank you for reminding me of how amazing the guildies are, including myself. It's not something I think about, until I get to meet other amazing people who can share of themselves with courage.
