Kodak moments: Part 3

Here is a collection of things that have amused me lately:

I spent a lot of time fishing for the Tiny Carp. After fishing up two Tiny Red Carp in less than an hour, plus the Squirtle mount, otherwise known as Sea Turtle, I decided to make a goal of fishing up all the others. I made 40 Ironpaw tokens from spending that long doing it, which I promptly spent on the Flippable Table. For rage filled moments like these:

Eat your heart out, Gordon Ramsey!

Shrine gatherings:

Sons of Anarchy, Pandaren Chapter

Making Golds in Goldshire...or just making people throw up:

C'mon! Everyone wants to see a gnome in bunny ears dance on a bannister in a bar? Right?

Fishing next to a Tauren?? 

I smell burgers! Quick, get the BBQ out!

More to follow soon. As soon as I sort out the million planking screenies! And soon I hope to document a very special guild event...

Hello there, Strangers

Hello there! Remember me? It's been a while since I was here. Things have been very busy. Lots of things have happened since my last post! I levelled up to the grand old age of 32! I know, so old. My guild friends gave me the most awesome gifts and party ever! Killing Horde at Shrine of the Two Moons? Genius idea! Lots of deaths ensued, mainly mine, but lots of fun! Just the best party anyone could think of for me!

I tried my hand at raiding, though sadly, still a nub! I'm hoping though to try some more before the new patch drops. Once I figure out my DPS rotation. Frost Bomb apparently is no good but I just cannot get used to using Living Bomb. It just doesn't feel right. And I totally buggered up my reforge. So now I do a lot less DPS and I still stand in bad shit. I was going to get the GTFO addon yesterday but I consider it part of my charm, though many I'm sure would disagree.

My favourite thing to do lately are the Barrens quests. They remind me a lot of Stonehearth for the big, fast spawning mobs. And with the help of my little Lock bro, we can kill huuuuge mobs. Which is very satisfying indeed. Farming and Valor? Suits me fine and helps me actually cap my valor per week (which neeeever happened before!). I'm currently farming and saving mats for when the next patch drops, so this goes a long way towards my tailoring and enchanting.

I finally got all 20 Secrets of the Empire and started the next stage of the quest. The solo scenario on Isle of Conquest. Which led to much frustration and comedy rants. As follows:

"This time I'll do it...Ok, I can do this...what the f**k, no, no, stop hitting me! Celestial Guardian, why do you let them hit me?? Noooooooo, don't kill the Blacksmith!!!"

Each wipe, there was a Skype mute to rant and curse, take a deep breath and try again. This continued for about an hour. And then I left the Scenario in a rage. Called Wrathion every bad name I could muster and drank tea until I calmed. Thanks to a few words of advice, I calmed down enough to do it from start to finish in one go! Now to farm those bloody runes...

Part of going to my 'happy place' is being able to plank, post stressful situation

And to my friends who are currently in NL on holiday, hope your time is wonderful! I am still utterly, utterly jealous! Especially of the Swedish cake!
