The past couple weeks (or more) the blogging has been sporadic and lackluster at best, finally trickling down to none in the last week. My apologies for this to the few people that actually read this blog. Honestly I’ve been having a great deal of difficulty working up the energy or desire to write.
Some of you are aware that recently my stress levels have been way way way beyond excessive and my moods have been pretty…. moody. Rather than inflict them on others that really shouldn’t have to deal with me being emo (and likely don’t want to anyway) I’ve just backed away from everything.
Looming in the near future I have a physical move of over 800 miles. And as stressful as that sounds, it will actually lessen some of the stress I have been under lately. However during that process (which isn’t happening RAIT NAU but will be before the end of the year) it is not likely I will be in game or doing anything with this blog.
I do have one character that is talking and so until that time I will be trying to write some fluff posts for her. Nothing deep and meaningful but a bit of light entertainment. I should start posting those before the end of the week. Light RP posts, though, are about all I’m feeling up to right now.
Again, my apologies and hopefully I will be able to get back up to speed before too long.

Ramblings -
I play wow because I love the genre. I bought my first D&D set in 1978 and was a crappy DM in many respects, but my friends loved the adventures we had … all in our brains ond a few notebooks.
LONG LIVE D&D!
I bought WC I, II, III all teh expansion sets … and I also have trouble not being able to see end game movies and action. I wish that abilities were not so tied to gear. Maybe Cataclysm will address someof these things.
I think Wow is awesome at what it does. For me this means it does all the math! I don’t have to calculate saving rolls or trajectory of a bullet. But I do miss rolling the regular polyhedrons (which I keep in a jar on my bookshelf) and the 2″ tall pewter figuines (one which still guards my lamp with his shield raised and sword drawn)
I think it is improving in many ways. The environments keep getting more beautiful and detailed. Lighting is better – effects get better and better. The environments for adventuring are great … nice taverns with plenty to eat and drink.
I remember thirty hour D&D marathons on weekends at Lowry AFB in Colorado. We took over the thrid floor TV lounge and even had a paper sign taped to the door that said 3rd Floor D&D lounge. We took out the TV so no one would compete with us for the room. People would come and go as they had time. Pizza and Pepsi delivered tyvm. I remember the judgmental look on the faces of those that thought they understood and judged, those that didn’t want to understand and judged and the curiosity of those that wanted to and withheld judgement until they at least gave it a shot.
RPing to me is to try and cooperatively create shared adventures and experiences … and laugh our butts off … laugh until your cheeks ache and the tears are streaming down your face … because the intellect of most RPers is very high and the creativity and spontanaeity incredible. I guess I’m trying to relive those original D&D games without having to spend 60% of the time resolving melee battles (although arguing about the finer nuances of to hit tables was fun in its own right too). Emoting in game takes practice and many I suppose find that “it’s too hard” as they race to their T10 gear. But they they whine in Tradechat that they are bored. They missed it.
RPing is like creating a collective book that you get to help shape.
Looking forward to new creating another new stroy!

PS
Try not to be so hard on yourself.
So you don’t have endless energy. Who does? I appreaciate this blog you have created … which I’m sure can be a thankless chore. What is the best thing to do to someone in a thankless job? Say thanks!
So thank you for spending all the effort and energy you did to make it. And if you never log another entry ever … I hope you think that it was worth it. Because I do.
