Reputation, Gruul

current mood: lethargic

Let's see, I've done a lot in the past two days.

Yesterday, I farmed some Argent Dawn reputation on my druid with Rob. We were getting his level 56-ish shaman (she keeps levelling) some experience, reputation, and quests done. My druid is finally revered, but I am saving all of the scourgestones he has collected to turn in after the patch. In the patch they are doubling the reputation you get from kills and quests for Argent Dawn, Timbermaw Hold, and Cenarion Circle. So after the patch I get to turn in 185 Minion's Scourgestones, 461 Invader's Scourgestones, and 96 Corrupter's Scourgestones. I also have 6 Healthy Dragon Scales waiting to be turned in as well as some Bone Fragments, Crypt Fiend Parts, and others of that sort.

We also ran some Hellfire Ramparts and Blood Furnace for Rob's shaman for experience and reputation. I took my level 68 paladin on the runs (all I get is experience since he is already honored). We ran Old Hillsbrad afterwards. I took my hunter for the trash pulls to get her some reputation, as she is still not revered with Keepers of Time. It's the only heroic key she is missing. I had to bring my paladin for the bosses, though, since we needed a healer. When we finished, I decided to buy the rest of the Firewing Signets that I needed to get my paladin to Honored with the Scryers.

Today, I did some Arathi Basin on my druid to get my Arathi Basin Marks of Honor up to 40. I am thinking about getting Marshal's Leather Belt for tanking. It's an upgrade, but I want to see if Tree-Mender's Belt will drop from Heroic Hellfire Ramparts first. After I got the 40 marks, I finally ran around and did some Karazhan quests that were in my druid's quest log (the ones where you just have to run around and talk to people). Because I did those quests, I got Violet Badge for my tanking set.

I did some Timbermaw Hold reputation grinding with Rob, but unfortunately because my druid is level 70 I didn't get very much reputation at all. My druid is still only unfriendly. I also decided to do one Wintersaber Trainers quest just for the heck of it since I was in the area.

This evening we did a pickup group Gruul run. We successfully did one last week for the very first time, so we decided to make it a weekly thing. My druid was the off-tank. The druid tier 4 shoulders dropped from High King Maulgar and I won the roll for them.

Paladin dings 68, Karazhan

Hello LiveJournal! I keep meaning to post, but I forget to, and I also forget what I've done recently to be able to post about it. I made a point to write down what I did yesterday, though. I dinged 68 on my paladin and took my druid Tsukii to Karazhan. Tsukii got the Mithril Chain of Heroism for his kitty set, and he also main tanked Prince. I was really nervous about main tanking Prince, because I wasn't sure if I would know where to position him, and I was also afraid of being unlucky with infernal placement, but it all turned out alright and we killed him on the first try. Now that I know how to tank him, if I do it again I'll try to get some screenshots.

Tsukii's kitty gear is getting better. I finally enchanted his staff today with Savagery since I seem to be doing more DPS than tanking in raids. I'm up to 2416 attack power with Mark of the Wild and 32.85% critical strike chance. I still need to buy an enchant for his helm and enchant his legs.

Killing time during last full day in Japan

It really annoys me that I can't log onto one of my alts during raid time on Magtheridon, because then my guild whines at me to come raid. I'm in freaking Japan. Leave me alone! So much for killing time by leveling my warrior. She's now 69, by the way.

I typed up my Japan blog entry, but I'm not going to post it until after Tuesday, so that I can include Monday and Tuesday in it. Today (which is Monday in Japan, btw) we haven't made any plans, we are just going to do things as we feel like it instead of making a plan. That's why I wanted to level my warrior. Sigh.

WoW Website Rant

June 21st, 2007 (05:59 pm)
hungry

current location: Tokyo, Japan
current mood: hungry

We still have internet. Horray! I am a happy camper.

I am still keeping notes on all the things we've seen and done so that I can write up a comprehensive Japan trip post when I get back. We also figured out a general schedule of what days we are going to see certain places.

Last night, since I had about four hours to kill, I worked on wishlists for my priest, hunter, warrior, and druid. I have to say, I am pretty annoyed about the complete lack of good, comprehensive fansites for WoW. Coming from the anime fandom, I am used to very indepth websites that covered just about anything you would want to know about a series or character. Even character "shrines" were very indepth and could tell you tiny details like which episodes a character appeared in.

Mainly, I am annoyed about the lack of comprehensive hunter websites. I was working on my hunter's wishlist and I was using Kaliban's Class Loot Lists as a guide. It is one of the few really good WoW websites out there because it lists a lot of gear options for each class, even for different specs within a class. However, I don't just want to know all of my options for a certain piece of gear, I want to know which one is the best. This website doesn't order gear in order from best to worst. The Armory sort of does, but it still has a lot of bugs in it. This website is more of what I am talking about, but it's only for druid gear. I want a website like that for hunters. I want a website that will order gear in a list for me from best to worst so that I can find the ideal upgrades for my hunter.

On a more broad note, hunter websites are simply lacking. WoW websites in general are lacking, but I will focus on hunters for the time being. Let's look at TKA Something. It has a guide on pets, pet skills, and a short list of "guides." Where is the comprehensive info? Where is a page about what attributes you should look for in gear based on spec, where is a gear list? Where is a page about what exactly to do when you solo, what exactly to do when you instance? How about a description of hunter lore?

Let's look at the list of Hunter Class Guides on Blizzard's official website. Three of the guides aren't even hunter websites; they are simply guides that are part of a bigger website: Warcraft Revolution, TenTonHammer, and WoWVault. If you look at Warcraft Revolution, it is a one-page guide giving a short paragraph about the hunter class, really simple information about starting a hunter such as what races it can be and what weapons it can use, and a very very very short description of some hunter skills. It doesn't even include all hunter skills. Most of the other websites are like this. The other links on Blizzard's webpage are either links to forum posts or links to one-page guides about one particular thing, such as the Chain Trapping guide.

Now, you may be thinking that the obvious solution would be for me to make a website of my own. There are two problems with that solution. The first, is that I am not very knowledgeable about hunters at all. That's why I am looking for information on them in the first place. The second, is that I hate the hunter class. It's my least favorite WoW class. Yes, I have one, but it's because my eventual goal is to have a max level character of each class. So far I have a 70 druid, 70 hunter, 70 priest, 68 warrior, 64 paladin, 64 rogue, 64 mage, and a 27 warlock. Maybe I will eventually make a WoW website, but we'll see. My standards are high and I never can reach my own standards.

CTProfiles: Gone, at least for a little while

CTProfiles is being put on hold. This makes me a sad panda. I used that website as a way to keep track of my different gear sets on all my characters (tanking, DPS, healing) and as a way to keep track of my wish lists for the various sets. Apparently it was announced on June 1st that the project is being put on hold due to a lack of time to devote to programming the website. Unfortunately, I never got the chance to back up my profiles. I know that Blizzard has their Armory, but Armory only keeps track of the gear you log out in. It doesn't keep track of your other gear sets, and it has no idea of knowing what your wish list is.

I really wish I had gotten a chance to back up my profiles. Maybe I could store them on my site from now on.

My life, in summary

June 3rd, 2007 (11:40 pm)
relaxed
Tags: , , ,

current mood: relaxed

Here's a quick summary of what's been going on in my life as of late:

Work
I interviewed for a company that is part of Virginia Tech on Tuesday. The interview went better than the last interview that I had, but it still didn't go very well. I'd give it a 4 out of 10, where 1 is the worst and 10 is the best. The job would mainly be programming, and I still don't know how I feel about that.

Wedding Stuff
I've written about 20 thank you notes and I have about 40 left to write. I'm stuck on one in particular, and my brain won't let me skip it and go back to it later. Basically, it's one of those notes that I don't want to sound form-written, since that's how most of the others have been written. I really want these people to understand that we really are grateful for their gift. So I'm still working on that.

World of Warcraft
Just got my priest new shiny Whitemend Pants after hours of grinding primals. I hate farming primals :(. When I farm, I much prefer to be grinding something that gives me reputation, or helps me along another goal other than just "Kill all these mobs till you finally get 5 Primal Mights." I much prefer when something is guaranteed as opposed to a random droprate.

Other Stuff
We saw Mr. Brooks on Friday, it was actually pretty good, and I'm picky about most movies.

World of Warcraft: Tsukii

April 18th, 2007 (08:08 pm)
uncomfortable
Tags:

current mood: uncomfortable

Name: Tsukii
Race: Night Elf
Class: Druid
Level: 70
Realm: Stormreaver
Highest Lifetime Rank: none
Profile link: http://ctprofiles.net/4902521

Tsukii is my current main World of Warcraft character with about 24 days played. He is the sixth character I leveled to 60. Originally I was going to make a Tauren druid, not a Night Elf druid, but I wanted a character to play on Stormreaver with people I know, and the only character I had on there was my hunter, and I hate my hunter. Tsukii's name is based on the Japanese word “tsuki,” which means moon. I had to add an extra ‘i’ because the name Tsuki was taken. Night elves are worshippers of Elune, the moon, hence Tsukii’s name.

Tsukii is a member of Fighting Gobblers on Stormreaver. This is the guild comprised of current students and graduates of Virginia Tech; most of us know each other in real life. We only have 9 level 70s in the guild, and several of those are alts. About 8 people play regularly.

I leveled Tsukii using a Feral spec. I had a hard time deciding what my end-game spec should be. I was torn between a Feral build for tanking, a Restoration build with tree form for healing, or a 0/30/31 or 0/31/30 mix between the two. I enjoy both tanking and healing, but I wanted to pick a build that would help out the guild the most. Since we often play with Mike, who has both a tank and a healer, it was really hard to choose. I finally decided on a Feral spec since Mike’s main is a priest, and I already have two healers who are healing spec.

Playing a tank that is not a warrior has been refreshing and new. I have learned a lot about druid tanking. Gearing up was very confusing because I never knew if I should prefer Stamina, Defense, or Dodge. I have learned that Agility is a great tanking stat because it adds armor and dodge. I have learned that defense is actually a good stat for druids to have, and that the “magic number” to hit is 415 defense. At 415 defense, a druid with the Survival of the Fittest talent is virtually uncrittable (he has a very, very, very low chance of being crit). I have learned that armor is a very valuable stat for tanking, probably the most valuable for druids. I made the mistake of disenchanting two quest rewards with very high armor on them; I requested the item restoration of one of them and the request was granted by the Game Master. I am glad that in the future, items with a high armor value on them will have the armor value displayed in green. That way, I will be less likely to overlook the armor value and accidentally dispose of the item.

I have maxed out Tsukii’s Mining, Cooking, First Aid, and Riding. I am one point away from maxed out Enchanting. I still need to max out Fishing. Tsukii’s Weapon Skills still need a lot of work, as it is not possible to skill up weapons in feral forms. Tsukii is missing 49 Enchanting recipes and 11 Cooking recipes (and most of the Cooking recipes are Horde only and will need to be bought through the Neutral Auction House).

Tsukii is Exalted with Darnassus, Gnomeregan Exiles, Ironforge, and Stormwind. I am currently working on my Exodar reputation.

Gear-wise, Tsukii has 5/8 Wildheart. I am missing the chest, kilt, and boots. He has 0/8 Cenarion, 0/8 Stormrage, 0/5 Genesis, 0/5 Zandalar Haruspex’s Garb, 0/3 Symbols of Unending Life, and 2/5 Moonglade Raiment. In his resistance sets he has 167 fire resistance, 138 nature resistance, 63 shadow resistance, and 77 frost resistance, respectively. Tsukii has +951 healing in his healing set and 2152 melee attack power in his cat gear.

Meme: Superteam

March 22nd, 2007 (10:46 am)
Tags: , , ,

I am doing this to make me think and to make me post about something other than WoW :P.

The Challenge: Assemble a superteam from your various fandoms.
Your team must consist of the following:
(1) Team Leader
(1) Warrior
(1) Smartypants
(1) Hottie
(1) Comic Relief

All your superteam members must be from DIFFERENT fandoms.


Leader: Aino Minako, of Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon. Nothing says tough love like making your underling sing karaoke.
Warrior: Al, from Fullmetal Alchemist. With a suit of armor and good combat skills, that says "tank" to me.
Brains of the Outfit: Ishida Uryuu, of Bleach. Who else could fill a spot in a team of super-powered people without having superpowers?
Hottie: Arthas, of Warcraft. I wanted to stick him in here somehow, and he is hawt. I can also see Minako trying to win his heart, and him completely ignoring her.
Comic Relief: Pippin, of Lord of the Rings. This one was hard, because I am not really drawn to comic-relief characters, but I suppose Pippin can fulfill that role.

WoW Wish Lists

March 20th, 2007 (05:59 pm)
Tags:

I'm pretty happy, because Kaliban's Class Loot Lists is now updated with Burning Crusade loot. So I went ahead and took the time to make wish lists for my druid. It was somewhat difficult. The old version of Kaliban's Class Loot Lists included a guide for each talent spec of gear options for each slot: head, shoulders, chestpiece, and so on. The Burning Crusade version does not have that, so I had to go through each item on the list, see which slot it was for, compare it to the current item on my wish list, decide if it is better or not, and update the wish list accordingly.

If that were not complicated enough, I had to make three separate wish lists: one for healing, one for tanking, and one for cat DPS. The tanking wish list is complicated in and of itself. What is more valuable: stamina, dodge, armor, defense, strength, or attack power? Is 20 stamina better than +2% to dodge? I said yes. Man, making a wish list for my priest was so much easier back when I was playing my priest. Does it have more healing and mana regeneration than the item I have? Yes? Then I want it!

Outland zones

current mood: hungry

So far, even though I am level 70 on my druid, I have only quested in Hellfire, Zangarmarsh, Terrokar, Nagrand, and Blade's Edge Mountains. I purposely avoided quests until 70 so that I could get the extra money from them through the experience to gold conversion.

I loved Nagrand. There are so many quests there, and I got a ton of gold from them. In addition, I think I got at least four blue quest rewards, and a ton of other upgrades to my gear. I also liked the fact that most quests gave me reputation. I was getting Kurenai reputation for the most part, but I also got some Consortium reputation. I am already revered with the Kurenai and I only did a little bit of grinding. I haven't turned in many ogre beads, either. I think I plan to save them for Consortium reputation.

I also liked some random things about Nagrand, for instance, whenever Thrall shows up and Nagrand's music changes to the Orgrimmar theme I have fangirl spasms (yes, even though my druid is Alliance). I can't wait to do that questline on my Horde. Also, Halaa is pretty cool. I did not PvP there much, but I have been turning in the random stuff that drops that can be turned in there.

In contrast, I really did not like Blade's Edge Mountains, the most recent zone I have quested in. There seem to be only three quest hubs total in the zone, and the quest hubs did not offer many quests. Also, two of the quest hubs, Sylvanaar and Toshley's Station, did not give me any reputation whatsoever when turning in quests, not even Alliance reputation. This made me a sad druid. Evergrove gave Cenarion Expedition reputation, which was nice. I am nearly revered with them.

Another thing that I did not like about Blade's Edge was that barely any of the quest rewards were upgrades for me. I think I got one, maybe two upgrades total. Also, I think I saw one blue quest reward total, and it was strange because the quest that offered the blue as a reward had four rewards to choose from, and the other three rewards were green. I picked the blue and disenchanted it. WTB Large Prismatic Shards, PST! I am at 366 Enchanting.

The quests themselves were kind of tedious. Go kill ogres at this camp. Now go kill ogres at this next camp. Now go kill ogres at this third camp. Now go kill elite ogres that you need a group for at this fourth camp. But wait, mostly every player in this zone isn't eligible for the quest that you are now on, so you can't get a group. Yay?

So I am mostly done with Blade's Edge, except for two group quests. My plan is to move to Netherstorm. I am hoping it will be more fun than Blade's Edge. I am a little worried because the first quest hub does not have a reputation associated with it, so most of those quests will not give me any reputation. I am also hoping for some gear upgrades. I miss gear upgrades.

Enchanting skillup woes

March 16th, 2007 (05:10 pm)

Tags: ,

current mood: accomplished

I updated BirdAngel.net. It is not much, I re-added the Japanese Media page, added a link to my LiveJournal now that I think I have made it public-safe, and I added a spreadsheet for Tsukii's Professions to the World of Warcraft page.

I spent some time today updating that spreadsheet with the new Outland recipes. My goal was to find an enchanting formula that I could use to skill up my Enchanting skill. Currently, Tsukii's Enchanting skill is 365. In order to get it that high, I had to do a lot of Enchant Gloves - Major Strength, which uses 12 Arcane Dust and 1 Greater Planar Essence. The 12 Arcane Dust is what hurts, in addition to the fact that I had to use this formula to skill up even when it was of yellow skill level, which means it did not always give me a skill-up point. Using up 12 Arcane Dust and not getting a point really hurts.

However, that enchant is now of green skill level, which means it will rarely get me a skill-up point. I have two enchants of orange skill level: Enchant Gloves - Major Spellpower and Enchant Ring - Spellpower. Orange skill level is always guaranteed to give you a skill-up point. However, the materials for the enchants are really expensive. Enchant Gloves - Major Spellpower requires 6 Greater Planar Essence, 6 Large Prismatic Shards, and 6 Primal Mana. Enchant Ring - Spellpower requires 8 Large Prismatic Shards and 8 Greater Planar Essence. I have two enchants that are of yellow skill level: Enchant Gloves - Major Healing and Enchant Weapon - Major Spellpower. Their material components are nearly identical to the ones I just listed, so they are also very expensive.

My goal in the spreadsheet was to try to find an enchant that I am missing that would be good for skill-ups: orange or yellow skill level, with a fairly cheap material cost. Unfortunately, it seems that all of the enchants that I am missing are just as expensive. I am not sure if I should continue trying to skill up on Enchant Gloves - Major Strength, even though it will most likely not get me points, or if I should skill up on an expensive orange skill level enchant. I think I am leaning towards using the expensive orange skill level one, specifically Enchant Ring - Spellpower.

By the way, I made that WoW icon for LiveJournal, but it is rather uninspired.

Dinging and weblog posts

March 12th, 2007 (01:50 pm)

I returned to Blacksburg Friday night. Since both Rob and I were exhausted from all the wedding planning this past week, we spent Saturday and Sunday just chilling. I played WoW on Sunday and dinged level 70 on my druid. Yes, I said I was going to give WoW up until I got a job, but I really ran out of things to do that weren't WoW. Also, Rob said I could play. So in lieu of giving up WoW entirely, I have majorly cut back on my playtime. So far, this has worked out well.

Another thing I did this weekend was finish tagging all of my LiveJournal posts. Yes, all of them. Yes, I am crazy. Today I have started to manually post entries from my Pita blog days. I am hoping that once I get all of the Pita entries into LiveJournal, I will have all of my weblog posts ever written on here. However, I may be missing a few from when I was using b2 but not the b2-to-LiveJournal plugin. If that is the case, I should have birdangel.net's database backed up and it should be possible to get the missing entries. It's just going to be a pain.

Ahhhhh!!! I'm so excited!! I can barely contain myself. I want to run around the room in circles in excitement. The World of Warcraft Burning Crusade expansion launches at midnight tonight :). I have my Collector's Edition pre-ordered and we are attending the midnight release at the game store. All of my level 60 characters are pretty much ready for Outland; I cleaned out their banks, inventories, and quest logs (well, all except for the quest logs of two characters) and all of their primary professions are at 300 skill. I'm so excited, I just hope that the servers can handle the stress for the next few days. I'm trying to expect the worst, so I don't get disappointed, but I'm so excited that I can't help but be optimistic.

World of Warcraft: Hinomiko

September 19th, 2006 (02:29 pm)
Tags:

Name: Hinomiko
Race: Human
Class: Priest
Level: 60
Realm: Magtheridon
Highest Lifetime Rank: Knight
Profile link: http://ctprofiles.net/8950

Hinomiko is my main World of Warcraft character with about 116 days played. She is the second character I created. Originally I made her as a character to level while Nate leveled his character, but he ended up catching up in level to my paladin, who was my main at the time. Hinomiko's name and appearance are inspired by Himeko from Kannazuki no Miko. The name "Hinomiko" means "Priestess of the sun" if I have the Japanese correct. Her appearance is as close to Himeko's as I could get with the in game appearance choices.

I was in a Scholomance run on Hinomiko when I got a whisper. "Hey, do you want to come to Molten Core with us tomorrow night?" Thus I was recruited into Diviniti, a guild just starting to learn Molten Core. The first time I raided with them, they killed Magmadar for the first time. It was really exciting and I was hooked, so I accepted their guild invite. We eventually got Molten Core, Onyxia, and Blackwing Lair on farm status. By the time we got to C'thun in Ahn'Qiraj, many of the original guild members were gone and new people had been recruited in their place. We were having major attendance issues and some days when we had scheduled raids we did not have enough people to raid. It was around this time that Rob and I decided that we needed to stop raiding; he wanted to free up his nights to do stuff with Caleb and I needed the time to work on getting a job. Eventually we both quit the guild since we weren't raiding anyway and anytime we logged on we felt pressured to go raid with them.

I have played my priest using a few different specs. I leveled to 45 as Holy spec, which was a really, really, really stupid move and I advise against anyone else doing that. I then respecced to a tri-spec, with points up to Silence in Shadow, Improved Power Word: Shield in Discipline and the rest Holy. Sometime after starting to learn Molten Core I respecced to a traditional Shadow build with Shadowform. Yup, all throughout learning Molten Core I was Shadow specced and no one even noticed because I was usually near the top of the healing charts. When we started to learn Blackwing Lair I dutifully respecced to a Holy/Discipline build since the guild was enforcing required specs. Once I stopped raiding I respecced Shadow again.

I have maxed out Hinomiko's Professions, Secondary Skills, and Weapon Skills. I am only missing 8 Tailoring recipes and 10 Cooking recipes (and most of the Cooking recipes are Horde only and will need to be bought through the Neutral Auction House). As for Weapon Skills, I skilled most of them up by using bugged mobs, either ones already out in the world or by training Servants of Allistarj in the Blasted Lands to the guards in Netherguarde Keep and letting the guards tank the invincible mobs. Unfortunately, Blizzard nerfed that, so you can't do it anymore.

Hinomiko is Exalted with Ironforge, Stormpike Guard, Argent Dawn, Brood of Nozdormu, Cenarion Circle, Hydraxian Waterlords, and the Zandalar Tribe. I hope to get exalted with as many factions as I can one day.

Gear-wise, Hinomiko had the full Devout set at one point, but I am working on upgrading it to Virtuous. So currently she has 3/8 Virtuous and 5/8 Devout. She has 8/8 Prophecy, 8/8 Transcendance, 1/5 Oracle, 4/5 Zandalar Confessor's Raiment, and 3/3 Finery of Infinite Wisdom. In her resistance sets she has 236 fire resistance and 231 nature resistance, respectively. Hinomiko has +945 healing and +386 shadow damage in those respective sets.

Currently I am working on completing as many quests in the game on Hinomiko as I can. I am nearly completed with all the quests in levelling areas and right now I am working on quests that start in the major cities.

kicking my addiction

July 11th, 2006 (04:08 pm)
Tags: ,

So I'm finally trying to kick my addiction of World of Warcraft. For the time being I'm not letting myself play the game at all, not until I get some things taken care of. These things are mostly organizing my stuff: computer files and all my other junk. So far I've burned quite a bit of anime to DVD, clearing off about 60GB of space off my hard drive. There are two series that I am prevented from burning because they're incomplete: Beck, which I mentioned yesterday, and Marimite. If anyone has Marimite Spring DVD Special 4 and is willing to share, let me know. No one is seeding the torrent atm. I also somehow managed to lose my burnt DVD of PGSM episodes 39-49 and the specials, sigh, so I'm working on redownloading them. Luckily, they're still being seeded. I think what I did is I accidentally sent Nate my only copy of episodes 39-49 and then forgot to make myself a copy. Oops!

I'm also trying to organize my music collection. Most of the MP3s needed their ID3 tags fixed because they were either missing or they didn't all match with other similiar MP3s. In the process, I'm separating my music collection into music that is on my iPod, and music that is not. All the music on my iPod finally has working ID3 tags. It's nice ^_^. I'm up to 974 songs that have correct ID3 tags. Only 2000 songs more to go! :P I now have all my CDs that I own all ripped to MP3 and on my iPod. I still need to organize all my burned CDs, CDs that I still need to burn, and THEN I have the fun job of sorting through all the MP3s that are just loosely sitting in a folder. Weeee.

After I'm done all of THAT (yay) I still have other computer files to go through, like my website files. I know I said awhile back that I wanted to put it back up and I didn't follow through, but if I'm not allowing myself to log onto WoW, I have nothing else to do! =P So hopefully I will get something up.

I also still need to organize all my other stuff, I'm slowly moving all my stuff to Rob's apartment since I have to move out at the end of July, and I really need to organize. I have a plastic bag full of "important" papers that I really need to go through and sort, not to mention drawers full of clothes and other things. I'm hoping I can get rid of a lot of stuff that I don't need.

Speaking of clothes, none of my shirts fit! It's been really making me feel self conscious to have my stomach exposed since I'm too fat for my shirts, so I am going on my first diet. I've never had to before since I had such a good metabolism, but it looks like that wasn't meant to last :(. I currently weigh 133.5lbs and I want to get back to 115-120lbs so that I don't look like a fattie in my wedding dress when I get married. That means I need to lose the weight in about a month, since that's when I will start looking at wedding dresses and getting fitted. What I'm doing for a diet is I am only eating lunch, dinner, and sometimes breakfast. I'm not allowing myself any snacks. Also, for lunch and dinner I am trying to eat healthier than cheeseburgers. Rob's helping with that by taking me to Subway where I happily eat turkey and ham with yummy red wine vinegrette. Hurray!

Well basically between the diet and the no playing WoW I am depriving myself of the two things I enjoy most: food and WoW. Yay deprivation! ;_; AHH I MISS FOOD I WANT TO EAT SOMETHING. AND I WANT TO GO INTO WOW AND SMITE THINGS. PAM SMASH!
