Thanks to Grizz for introducing me to this. It was an incredible watch. I enjoyed it so much that I thought I would share it here.

The Craft of War: Blind by Percula

Be sure to let it load completely. It is worth the wait!

Well I’m not exactly sure what a meme is, but it seems I’ve got one. Anna, over at Too Many Annas smacked me with it. The topic?

Who was the first person to leave a comment on your blog that is still blogging?

84 posts and 162 comments later it was……

Anna!! My very first comment by a blogger still blogging, and actually my very first comment ever! Read her comment HERE. Through my whole blogging experience (even though I’m not as dedicated to it as I should be and perhaps a little scattery in the way I post and what I post) she’s been a great supporter and really nifty friend. Many times her Dear… posts brought me the giggle I needed on a sour day or her informative posts gave me that little tidbit of info I was looking for. Sometimes she even gives me giggles over Gtalk while I’m slaving away at work. Thanks Anna.

So I guess I throw it out to someone else now?

• Grizz at Nekkid Cow!
• Garilos at Scott McGerik’s WoW Blog
• Jezrael at DPS We Deliver
• Grizo at Grizo Shatterhoof
• Boetan at Two Gnomes and an Elf

So until yesterday I hadn’t posted in over a month. Yes, because of stress and other commitments sometimes the blog gets shoved aside for large stretches of time. I don’t expect that to change much. As a matter of fact, it may get worse.

I have decided to get back into art. I have always loved drawing and have had to repeatedly shove it aside to pay the bills. I’ve decided I’m tired of sacrificing what I love. I am going to get back into my art and bust my backside to turn it into something more.

Life still sucks. When you think things might be getting better something kicks you in the head to remind you that you are deluding yourself.

That being said, I haven’t been around much lately, in game or on the blog. Not likely that I will be. Things are going pretty awful right now.

I’ll see everyone if things ever improve.

No matter what they think…..

• Behind the microwave cart is not an appropriate playground for kittens.
• On the counter is not an appropriate playground for kittens.
• On the stove is not an appropriate playground for kittens.

• In the litter box is not an appropriate playground for kittens.
• Behind the dishwasher is not an appropriate playground for kittens.
• Under mommy’s skirt is not an appropriate playground for kittens.
• Pantyhose are not appropriate toys for kittens… especially when mommy is wearing them.
• Once the mouse is caught and dead, kittens are no longer allowed to play with it.
• Old cats tire out much faster than kittens and will eventually thump the kitten upside the head.
• Bedtime is a time to sleep, not play blanket monster with mommy’s toes.
• Pouncing on Lily will likely lead to great harm.
• The path from the living room to the kitchen is not a racetrack for kittens.
• The doorframes are not climbing poles for kittens.
• The computer desk is not an appropriate bed for kittens.
• The door is closed to keep kittens out because they are not allowed in that room.

• Depression sucks.
• No matter what they believe, the refrigerator is not an appropriate playground for kittens.
• Rice with butter and salt. Mmmmm.
• I always manage to bring up food in the Odds and Ends posts.
• Why were Mondays chosen as the busiest day of the week? Isn’t it bad enough that it’s Monday?
• Receiving an email from a friend not seen in nearly 10 years leaves a warm, fuzzy feeling.
• Level grinding sucks.
• Rep grinding sucks worse.
• After a while you don’t notice calluses anymore.

I just got an update from Anna over at Too Many Annas! She and Spaceship Husband are safe but she can’t load her blog from there. She intends to stay where she is until the power is back on at home. Much <3 to the Anna!

• I am so very tired.
• If we could harness the energy of kittens, there would never be an energy shortage.
• After enough hours of working with hemp twine, you don’t notice the sore fingers as much.
• It finally rained.
• My boss should realize that naps make me more productive. Honest.
• I don’t need a fuzzy alarm clock to wake me 40 minutes before my regular alarm clock.
• I live in the country. Maybe a horse would be better transportation to work.
• I need pie.

Today I decided I wanted to share with others the story of my guild, Lost Virtue. We’re a fun bunch with some fantastic members and I wanted others to know about them and understand why I love them so much and why I work so hard to keep our guild a happy place. I also wanted to share some of what I do to keep it a happy place.

Over the years I’ve had a number of people sneer at the fact that Lost Virtue is such a small guild. I will not argue this point. It is very small. We’ve never had ideas of being large, of having 100+ members, having huge raids, all the highest end gear and what-have-you. We are the true definition of a casual guild.
