Band of Misfits may soon become the fastest growing casual raiding guild on Azuremyst. Thanks to breasts! Hooray!
I was looking through my old pictures and found some old screenshots...WAY back in the day...Check Teh Elo out in FULL Wildheart gear and The Hammer of the Grand Crusader. Man I worked my ASS off to get that things. As well as the many weeks I spent in so many different instances to get the Wildheart gear. I miss this stuff. It looks so much cooler than the the sets these days...as well as having it be a 8 piece set. Getting it was hard but I felt SO AWESOME when I got it. /sigh I miss the old days sometimes. I think I'm gonna log on and run around in my Wildheart outfit. Yes...I've still got it and I refuse to give it up.

Man I am HORRIBLE at this blog thing. I think of things to write, I physically write them down, and then forget to post them. /sigh Such is life.
In Band of Misfits News...
We downed Festergut and Rotface! Hooray! It took time, the kills weren't pretty, but we did it! Though much to my dismay I died on each of the kills. =( Part of it is definitely the fact that my video card and power supply are on the outs. They are quite old and are in dire need of replacing. But alas, money must be saved so I can go to school this summer.
I got my Gryphon Hatchling about a week ago. 
I have named her Griffie. Yes, creative, I know. I also got myself a Lil' KT and Pandaren Monk. Griffie is of course my favourite vanity pet at the moment but a close second is Mr. Lil' KT. The little head spin thing and laugh that he does every so often is AWESOME. I have yet to see him kill a rat with one of his deadly Frostbolts (I know they exist, I've died to plenty of them). I think my favourite thing about Griffie is that even if I mount up to fly, she's with me! Yes...this baby flies! When you mount up she jumps up and flies behind you. It's great, even when I turn into a birdy on Krasus' Landing and fly to ICC she follows. It's like my own little baby bird!
This Tree Can Cook!
After MUCH complaining from Mr. Kawdor about the fact that I couldn't cook, I hunkered down and finished up what Shadowson started and got my Cooking skill to 450! Upon doing this I promptly made about a BAZILLION Fish Feasts for myself to stand in. Yay for being self-sufficient sort of...Now if only my Fishing skill was maxed.
I Sometimes Think I Should have Been A Lit. Major
I love reading, if I could just read and some how make money that way I could but unfortunately I cannot At the moment I am reading Stormrage by Richard A. Knaak, Day of the Dragon by Richard A. Knaak, Lost In a Good Book: A Thursday Next Novel by Jasper Fforde, and Percy Jackson and The Olympians: The Lightening Thief by Rick Riordan. I just finished Arthas: Rise of the Lich King by Christine Golden, The Erye Affair: A Thursday Next Novel by Jasper Fforde, and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling (again). GAH! I cannot stop. I just want to read and read and read. I even enjoy re-reading my favourites. I can always be in the middle of Heart of Darkness, the Harry Potter series, and/or the Thursday Next series. I am glad I love reading so much. Reading loves my brain and my brain loves me.
In Other News...
The time of my husband's odyssey is getting close. Some of my plans for my summer alone are a couple classes, guitar lessons, maybe a job, and taking care of kitties I should hopefully be getting next weekend. /crosses fingers Anything fun that can be suggested would be greatly appreciated.

Fun Fact: Today, 49 of the 50 United States have snow. The only state without snow today is Hawaii. I find it quite hard to think of parts of Florida under snow but apparently that is the way it is.
Currently I am in an area sans snow and am quite happy about it. I love you Bay Area with your moderate climate!
Where is the Love?
If you are a World of Warcraft player you might have noticed the decorations around indicating that the "Love Is In The Air" World Event is now happening. (Yes...all those heart wreaths around do not mean Christmas in February.) Last year I had a ball with this event partially because I leveled Elocine to Level 80 during the event just to get the "Love Fool" title. I went from 77 to 80 in a little less than one day, in the days before the Random Dungeon (which now you can ROFL-level quick as you want), strictly to get into Naxx to do the Pity The Fool Achievement. I liked the way the event worked last year, the card giving and the heartbreaking, it was enjoyable without taking up TOO much time. This year to my dismay the whole event is discombobulated!!! Everything this year is different and now there is even a boss that drops a mount that I now have to acquire! I am so confused with it I don't even know where to start with the whole thing. Killing the Undead to make bracelets?? What kind of shenanigans are these?! These things make me happy that I finished the event last year. It was quite grueling to do it the way I did it last year but hey...I got my title without have to making bracelets made of bones... o.O
Lunar New Year is also coming up which means the Lunar Festival in WoW is just around the corner. Now hopefully that World Event is not screwed up and I can get my Elder title this year... Here's to hoping we don't have to skin Night Elves for their shimmering skin. =O

1820 Happy New Year! I'm do apologize for being offline for sometime. Just after the New Year my Grandfather passed away which kept Chris and I in California a bit longer than expect. Upon our return to Virginia I immediately returned to school and Chris went off on a voyage. During the first few weeks of school the workload has been substantial. Most of my classes this semester involve a lot of reading they include: Macroeconomics, History of Western Civilization II, and Oceanography. My math class doesn't really require much by way of reading...more by doing...XD Great raid this weekend Band of Misfits! I got to DPS this week (=O /le gasp) as we ended up with 9 healers in the raid this weekend. I of course wasn't SO great I'm pretty geared out with my DPS set though I think my rotation needs a little reworking. This weekend I did acquire some new gear =D I got Deathwhisper's Chestpiece and got enough Frost Emblems to get Lasherweave Pauldrons. We didn't get to any new bosses this week but I think we did well.
Swiftmend: Are you a mender?
Currently, in my healing spec (which can be seen here) I am specced into Swiftmend. Personally I have a love-hate relationship with Swiftmend. Now I love what Swiftmend does and if you have it glyphed (as I do) it can be a lifesaver if you have both Rejuvination and Regrowth up on your target. Personally I've had Swiftmends crit for +20,000. I get very excited when I see big healing numbers like that, bold, green, numbers flashing before my eyes letting me know that I am helping out in a big way. But I've never seen a big need for Swiftmend, I can keep tanks or raid heal perfectly without having to use it. It's just seems to me like a wasted talent point. With my haste as high as it is, its not a problem to pop a Nourish on people getting low on health or even pop Nature's Swiftness and Healing Touch. So possibly I'm not using the mechanic correctly. Fact of the matter is with or without it I can heal pretty damn well. Swiftemend to me only seems to pad my healing numbers and in all honesty I forget to use it from time to time. I can see uses for it but with my healing rotation (Tanks: Rejuvination, Lifebloom x3, Regrowth, Nourish, re-apply; Raids: Regrowth, Rejuv, Nourish?, Repeat) it doesn't seem to work out for me. Maybe I'll play around with it a little more and we shall see.
This last week I leveled Kochanski to 80 and am currently gearing her up to be a Tank. I quite enjoy tanking though I am trying to learn the mechanics of how Parry, Dodge, and Shield Blocking all work. I must delve into some Paladin Tank blogs and figure it out. I think I'm doing okay but it often pisses me off when pug DPS-ers hit other things than my target, have you guys ever heard of assisting off the tank? Clearly you haven't and if you did that in a raid you'd be kicked in a second. The random dungeon tool can be a blessing but it can also very much be a curse.
I made a new Druid!!! Her name is Elheaux (a name more or less given to me by Matheo) and I plan on making her a kitty/bear specced. She's only level 2 right now and I've equipped her with Stained Shadowcraft Spaulders and will probably equip her with a Stained Shadowcraft Tunic. We'll see how it goes.
As for Nymphidora, I finally transferred her over to Azuremyst and made her a Gnome! Yay for Gnome Warlocks.
This ends this transmission from Teh Elo...See you on the flip side!!
