That's me...
Conrad "suggested" me into trying this out so here I am. Trying it. I met Conrad through World of Warcraft. We played together in the same guild for almost a year. But I could tell immediately that he was someone I wanted to be friends with. Ever positive, and almost excruciatingly patient Conrad won us all over easily. When he Quit playing wow recently he directed me to his Blog here, and has been encouraging me to do the same ever since. I like how it enables me to keep up with him and still have him in our lives. So I gave in to the Conrad and I'm trying it out. So here goes.

We recently acquired an Xbox 360. By we, I mean my Husband Parker, my step son Max and myself. It came with Fable II and Halo 3. And we bought "Lost via Domus"... which, is very scary to play alone. I had to turn off the Music.

Fable II looks like it will be fun. I lost interest in the first one. Mainly because I was no good at fighting stuff. My video game playing skills have improved since then, and its much easier to do on a controller than a Keyboard. I will not be "playing" Halo 3 as much as I'll be watching my husband play it. Max and Parker are both very excited about the prospects of owning the Xbox. And to be honest, so am I. (Rock Band: The Beatles! It will be mine. O yes. It will be mine).

So a part of my blogging will always include some aspect of gaming. Whether it be on the Xbox or my experiences in the World of Warcraft. And I will talk about it like you know what i'm talking about... so be prepared. Unlike Conrad who is still working out his future, and doesn't need the distraction and all consuming-ness of World of warcraft (Here to after refered to as WOW) My husband and I are pretty set in our ways. I have a good job, and he always manages to find something to help keep us afloat. Both of us grew up on Atari, Nintendo, Sega, and games like Kings quest on the Tandy 1000. So video games have always been apart of our lives. Playing them responsibly can be a challenge sometimes. But we manage.

We've recently been spending more time on our Alliance characters. They were our first so we're a tad sentimental about them. And Leaving them at 70 seemed wrong. Especially since we both have 2 80's Horde side. So I've taken a step back from wanting to raid, and I'm revisiting old content on my druid. She will be Loremaster. I've finished OUtland and I'm almost done with the Eastern Kingdom. Then on to the Daunting task of Kalimdor.

SO, I've always wanted that Emerald whelping from the swamp of sorrows, cause I'm a druid and a lore nerd and the Green dragonflight watch over the Emerald Dream. But, I'm not a farmer, I do however kill 3 or 4 everytime I go through there which isn't often. But in my loremaster endeavor I came across a quest in a cave in swamp of sorrows where you need the old trinket "chained essence of Erankius". So i was over there turing that in, and btw the chain dead ends in Winterspring,( Imagine my disapointment after having a GM restore my trinket). Any who I was leaving and I killed 4 Dreaming Whelps, thinking as I did that I'd be ok with this being the only rare pet I ever got.... and the third one I killed Dropped it! I was pretty excited. and of course Parker was still in Puerto rico, so I had no one to tell. it was sad really.

well thats it for now. I hope this went well... >.>
