tis the season

so it's here once again
the silly season indeed
daily presents, egg nog,
snowball fights and thrasher crasher races through the streets of Dal!
I'm a happy little priesty in the land of Azeroth atm :)

Everyone is so cheery this time of year, myself included :D
I've been handing out presents to the citizens of Azeroth hee hee
GREEN WINTER CLOTHES to be precise :D (i managed to "obtain" the pattern from Thunderbluff, my death was involved, however i got the pattern so that's what counts :P)

And today i killed the Abominable Greench!
It worked out perfectly
I was standing on the snowy knoll near the Greench's lair
Thinking to myself "i don't think i can solo this" :/
When down drops a friendly Mage :D
"You reckon we can take it?" I ask
"We can try!" came the reply
When down drops a Shaman
"Need heals?" She asks
"Sure would be handy"
So we group up, when down drops a Pally :D
"Now there's timing" said the Mage
"consider her ninja-vited" I say
INVITE ACCEPTED :D

We down the Greench in no time, all very happily chuffed with our selves.
"portal?" asks the Mage
"Please!"
(Mages are so handy :D)

So back to Iron Forge we go,
hand in our quests
get our prezzies :D
(i got a toy gorilla)
Then ended the day with a game of Thrash Crash Racers
(Pally needed the achieve, who am i to say no :D)

So all in all it was a lovely Sunday afternoon
Spent with people i've never met
yet can put a smile on my face
and made me remember why i love this game :D

adventures in Dalaran

just a little thing

So i was on my daily bounce around my beloved city of Dal.

It's a thing i like to do, just bounce around while thinking what to do, when i came across another bouncer.

(you'll see us around if you look, bouncing around the place :P)

we bounced around each other for a bit (it was a human pally female, had a cute name that i thought i'd remember, but alas my memory isn't as good as i thought lol),

we were happily bouncing around each other when we both stopped and looked at each other....

(i could imagine lightbulbs light up above our heads)

LEAP FROG!!

so a game of leap frog began around the streets of Dal, went on for about 5 mins lol

but it made me smile

that is all

bai bai for now

<3 Shellme

find a happy place :)

So one of the things i like to do in wow is find pretty places and have picnics lol. (yeah i know i'm special, but so is the world :P)

Normally i just hang around Dal, cos Dal is awesome, but i've started to venture out a bit.

This is a pretty little spot just outside of SW, near the little gnome's house with the exploding sheep lol.

i'll be taking more pics of spots i find and start posting them. i'll also see if i can get the co-ordinates for the places :P (lol not that there is anyone here but hey, maybe one day there will be)

catch ya on the flip side

random acts of super coolness

K, so just a little story about something pretty cool that happened to me whilst i was swimming around Vashj'ir.

It all started as i was hanging around the Shimmering Expanse looking for the elusive Poseidus, don't laugh, i will find him one day and then i'll have a seahorse for always and forever :D

Anyway, on this occasion there was no Poseidus for me, but there were some pirates to kill!!

So off a killing i went! My happy little shadow priest killing the Captain of the ship, who, incidentally, only dropped 3 gold >.> (also, unrelated to the story, however i also found out that one should not kill the ship mates on the ship, they flag you as pvp and also kicked my butt, as i was unprepared :P)

Upon returning to my dead corpse (thanx again ship mates >.>) and extracting my revenge on the saliors, i came across a whale shark :S

k, i am super afraid of whale sharks, and normally swim my little priesty butt away as fast as my, can only use in these waters, seahorse will take me, however this one was different. This one had a hunters mark upon its head and curiosity got the better of me, so i swam in closer to investigate.

At first i was a bit baffled cos i couldn't see anyone, (i'm a blind priest who also has no sense of direction fyi), so, using my awesome detective skills, i found who the shark was targeting and whispered them :D

"I just wanted to know if you were soloing that? The killing of that there shark?"

i asked the hunter

"Oh no, lol that'd take too long, just doing it with a couple of mates" he replied

"sweet, still very impressive!" i said in return

And indeed it was impressive, i've tried it before in an old guild and failed dismally, so i was rather impressed by this.

After the achieves were achieved, hee hee, i gave my grats to those involved and proceeded to hearth back to my beloved Dalaran, and after my loading screen had gone away, (i have loading screen issues :P), up popped a party invite O_o.

Not one to turn down a party invite, lol, i accepted the invitation.

"oh hai hai" i say

"heya, Shellme, come get your achieve!!"

"wait what?!" i say, clearly dumb founded

"come kill a whale shark!!"

"O.o i just hearthed to dal :S"

"well, get moving, we'll hold up on killing it."

I couldn't believe my luck or how nice these guys were being. The whole time i was making my lagtastic way from Dal to Vashj'ir, they were chatting in party saying to hold back on dps, and to drop agro on the shark, so that it'd still be alive-ish when i finally got there.

Which I finally did, a few minutes later, damn my loading screens, and with just under a 3rd of the kill left to go! I threw in my own 2cents of dps and we took that whale shark down!!

Achievement Unlocked!!

hee hee a big thanx to Euphimea, who was the hunter i first spoke to, as well as Partts, Arnwyn and Exaven for being so super cool and inviting me to get the achievement, you guys, even though you probably won't ever read this, you are still awesome none the less.

oh, i also told my guild i solo'd it hee hee (with 4 other people :P)

<3 Shellme

As I suspected...

So it seems our updates are going to be a bit sporadic, which I am absolutely fine with! We continue to play, enjoying the company of our guildies, enjoying the random acts of awesome that occur. I am still trying to convince Shellme to write of her experiences involving the death of a certain whale shark, maybe soon....

Anyhow, more to follow! I figure if I keep it short and sweet this may actually work!

oh hai hai

hai hai

i'm shellme,

and yeah as Nash said, this was just an idea i had one day, to try and get a collection of stories type things together, stories about what brought people to WoW, what WoW has brought to them and their lives, experiences that we've had while playing, friendships both found and lost. Stories of what WoW has done for people, good and bad stories i guess, just the more personal side of WoW, cos for a lot of us, WoW is more than just a computer game. Some people may say that that's sad, or whatever, but meh, we know what we mean, and hopefully you do to :D

On procrastination and beginnings...

So I will make an attempt to get things started as I tend to over-think what I'm meant to be saying, get distracted and go play WoW or something. This blog came into being as the result of a conversation with my guild master over how World of Warcraft has changed our lives in positive ways, and the lack of acknowledgement of the brilliant things that happen and the awesome people you meet in game. Lets face it, there are plenty of guides on how to be l33t, many QQ'rs, but we would rather have somewhere to tell the stories of the things we enjoy, the random events, the encounters with RP'rs, and the snapshots we take away from some of the more interesting and beautiful locations in game. So yeah...

Lets see how this goes shall we?
