When do you feel like you have to update?When a lot of things happen within a very short span of time.
Right, so after the meal at Crystal Jade, on the 27th, that is, Joy, Bob, Jollyn and Darren actually dropped by without warning on the actual day (28th) while I was sitting my fat arse on the PC (as usual.) wasting my life away.
Jesus, with a cake and all, in full force, lighted candles and the jazz. Second birthday cake now, and I made the same wish, lawl. Now that's a surprise. I mean how often are birthday surprises really as they are, a surprise. Not many I'm guessing. Half the time it's the same people, probably the same way that the surprise is carried out and it's always thought to be something new, because well, many things happen in the span of one year. Little acts like these are inevitably and usually forgotten.
Oh yeah and before I go on, big thanks to the guys at Epiphany. Yeah sorry for being such a hard ass these 2 weeks, I got really pissy about poor raid attendance and actually had to restructure the whole guild, threaten to burn your houses down before this weekend's raid was a success.
All worth it though. Of course, for those who sent me well wishes, thanks a bunch. It's odd, really. How virtual gifts or regards from a person you've never seen in your life can brighten up your day so much.
Melvin said a person once blogged about how WoW isn't a game. It's a community. You don't quit WoW because you can't bring yourself to quit the community. It's like a second life. (No, not that horribad game.) Most people who play WoW are introverts to varying degrees, so WoW gives them a "new start", especially when they happen to be very famous on their server. I'd have to agree 120%. It's a second life, with a different community where your guild members are like family.
I have to admit, it's a very special thing when you can have a good feeling towards people you've never met in person, who live half a world away, and lead very different lives. You feel at home.
Right as for today, after the raids (Thanks for showing up guys, really. You saved the guild from falling apart.) Daniel, Daryl, Melvin, Darren, Brian and Joy kinda celebrated my birthday by having a meal and then pretty much just hanging out and chatting. Good times, though I could tell Joy was getting increasingly bored as time got by, so I called it early and told her she needed to leave. Felt bad, really, that Brian and Joy came long. Was supposed to be a mini guild outing of sorts, so yeah, Joy was definitely left hanging.
Shit, pretty long post for one that happens within 3 days of the previous one. Cheers people.
EDIT: Wine and a lack of sleep do NOT really go well together, especially when you don't drink often. Headaches and illogical statements FTL. Don't eat me if anything doesn't make sense.
