…A cold in real-life and a ravager in-game >.<

So…remember that cold that I was talking about oh…30 days ago? I’m still dealing with the after-affects. It sure was a doozy, making me miss a day and a half of school, not to mention I couldn’t sleep properly for a week. I was tired and grumpy and coughing and generally not a fun person to be around. I think Mr. Paladin and my brother annoyed with me coughing up my lungs 24/7. Heck, I didn’t even like myself then. It got to the point where taking 2 Advil Cold & Sinus and Buckley’s just wasn’t cutting it. If I was working or going to school, I was trying to sleep.

Luckily it went away on its own after a while. Surprisingly, I’m still coughing every once in a while but it’s nothing more than a mild annoyance. What is unlucky however is that when the cold was at its worst, I had a huge project coming due. So…I had to spend 3 days staying 4-5 hours after school trying to get it done on time. Since I already spend 7 hours in school…that adds up to 11-12 hours spent sitting in the classroom for 3 days. My prof gave me an extension and I just barely got it in on time but I was soooooo relieved to have it done.

Brush up on your lore

Filed Under: Random Stuff | Tags: roleplaying

I don’t know about the rest of you but I’ve never played the first two Warcrafts and I only got about half way through the third (playing Arthas and his undead wasn’t fun for me). And I haven’t had a chance to go through the chapters of lore and history that is on the WoW site, it was nice to see that someone had made a condensed version of the whole thing. Further into it, people start arguing as to which event came first and who did what but right now, I’m just fine knowing the little bit I do (like I didn’t know that harpies were once night elves). Azeroth makes a little less confusing.

One thing I do really want to know is where did the tauren come from? And the humans and gnomes for that matter?

Hmmm…according to WoWWiki, humans are an offshoot of dwarves. That’s…interesting. No clues on taurens or gnomes though.

Anu’s Story: “One who hunts for food or knowledge”

My braids tumble to the ground, landing with a muffled thump on the beaten dirt. It feels strange to suddenly be free of their weight. I pick them up and roll them in my hands, feeling the coarse hairs rub against one another. I hear a soft huff and look up to see my mother staring at me, her sharp dagger still in her hand. Her face showed a mixture of emotions that I can’t even begin to decipher.
