PvP huh, What?!



If I kill you in Arenas or World PvP, then you really suck.  Either that or I have a raid group somehow hiding in the background and killing you.

I.Just.Can't.PvP.   No really, I can't.   I've tried.   Goodness knows, I've tried.  I seem to have a sign over me that says, "EASY KILL THIS WAY"

My sons (Wuffles the rogue and Graycen the Priest) have this bright idea of trying to teach me to arena PvP for the 200th time.    And, they want to teach me while streaming it.   Oh joy.

This isn't my first rodeo.  Oh no.   This cow has tried arena's before that ended veeery badly.   My partners usually quit, or maybe they just have a stroke and have to call 911; I'm never quite sure.   I thought I heard someones' head explode once, but that could have been them pounding the keyboard into dust right before they went offline, and then their head exploded.   Shrug.... vent quality sometimes isn't that clear.

Achievements are the ONLY reason I can be talked into playing arenas, ever.  But the achievements are out there; sitting there waiting.  They're mooing at me, taunting me with my terribleness, mocking me.  MOCKING me.  I can hear their voices taunting, "C'mon Callieaa, you've played an ele shaman since vanilla.  You can do this."     FYI, they lie.  

Battlegrounds are a bit better, especially with a pocket priest and a rogue to run interference on anyone targeting me, and other players running around to take the heat while I sneak in close, closer, closer, ok too close back up a bit...  and then BAM!   CL and EQ, maybe a little Ascendance and LvB thrown in there, lightning totem too and you're dead.   You're all dead.    Muaaaah.   Yea, I throw everything at you including the kitchen sink, but it works.   Well, that is if you give me 2 minutes to cast all this shit and have my healer healing me.    Which by the way, 2 minutes in a BG is like 20 years in real time and it's aging me quickly.

But also in battlegrounds, I find that after I die, I get separated from my healer who has gone to heal the flag carrier or someone more important than his MOM, and the rogue usually goes off to find somebody to stabitty, stab, stab cause he's a rogue and that's what they do, and I'm left to my own devices once again.    Hey, once you throw a few totems and cast a CL or two, it's like a huge sign points to you and any opposing faction within 5 miles knows where you are and comes running to kill you.    Subtle we are not (that's a rogue).

So, I'm going to give PvP another try.   Oh yea, let's go make some memories and a few home movies that they can show my grand kids in a few years.  "Oh look!  Here's MIMI dying again.  Isn't she a funny cow."    

Mooo me.

8 Heads in a Duffel bag

8 Heads in a Duffel Bag is a 1997 black comedy film starring Joe Pesci, Kristy Swanson and David Spade. It was the directorial debut of screenwriter Tom Schulman. In 1998 the film won the Brussels International Festival of Fantastic Film's Silver Raven award. This is my version: Every time I walk into my bathroom I laugh and think "OK. I have a so so Sue; a bad Felicia; a decent Taylor; and a bad Gypsy." (If you have seen the movie, you get it) One thing about Chemo is that it has the propensity of making you shed hair more than a Siberian Husky. People, I cannot rock a had scarf or go bald. I just don't have the bone structure or good looks to do it. So my weapon(s) of choice is a wig. Or as of today, 4 wigs. Now, you have to know that you're looking at a woman who for her whole life wanted to change her hair style, but just never did. I was too scared to cut my hair. It was waist length, natural strawberry blonde/red. I never colored it e...

WoW Bucket List

Everybody should have a bucket list.  Mine has been recycled quite a few times, held together by duct tape, and the handle has since broken off, but the bucket still holds water. Nestled in my bucket list, somewhere between visiting Italy and paying off all my debt, is to visit Blizzard HQ and attend Blizzcon.   I had to scratch working for Blizzard off my list, although I'm a great Executive Assistant, I figure I'm unemployable at a new company whilst going through cancer.   I can just imagine the interview process: Me:   "Yes I need 2 days off a month to get chemo.  And, oh yea, your insurance company is going to hate both you and me because your loss ratio is going to increase and set you back 3 years at minimum, along with the premiums going up." Uh sorry, where was I?    Oh yea, so bucket list, Blizzard/Blizzcon.  It's an odd bucket list item.   Bucket items are supposed to be a bit more grandiose.   I mean it's not li...

Where's Waldo (in his Orthopedic Socks and Sandals)?

Is there subtle Ageism at Tech companies? I've always wanted to work in the gaming industry.   Unfortunately when the gaming companies first formed, most were on the west coast and since I was a Mom and lived on the east coast, transferring across the country wasn't much of an option.    So I dreamed, and wished, and "le sighed" a lot. Now when I check out my Twitter, LinkedIn, or other social media platforms, I notice a depressing sight.   In all the pictures of the companies with shots of their people (usually showing off fun events, big announcements, new interns, etc.), there is a decided lack of older people in the pictures. It's like playing "Where's Waldo", only more difficult.   BTW, Waldo cannot be one of the founding members, or an owner of the company.   That doesn't count. I realize the younger generations may be thought of as more tech savvy, or perhaps more cutting edge in their thinking, but older generations who have p...
