Roxy Says The “F” Word

A few things today, in no particularly cohesive order (I know – it’s what you love about me):

1. Impromptu nosebleeds are teh suck.

2. Lunch with teh – er, sorry – the Boy. I spilled ice cream (yes, for lunch!) on silk. Eee, but oh well.

3. This one image makes me want to bedeck myself in epics and lie, glorious and yearning, in wait for Burning Crusade:

4. Hiking today.

5. Hiking today pictures:


Our Lord’s Candle, or Spanish Dagger. It’s a yucca!


“The best seat in the house.”


…and the feets of the girl who took advantage of said seat.


A bunny!


Not a bunny.

I = scared of bugs/spiders/worms/almost everything non-bunny. Was about to take a flying leap over it, all the while envisioning the spider leaping up into the air and putting a death-grip on my leg and sucking the bones out of my body until nothing remained but a Giang-husk, when I heard a rattling noise in the high grass next to me.

Whee, nature is exciting! When do the people with the cages get here? ;)

6. I stink of sunscreen. Oh, how I hate how I hate how I hate the smell of sunscreen.

8.

I am no superman
And I have no answers for you
I am no hero, oh that’s for sure
But I do know one thing:
Where you are, is where I belong
I do know, where you go
Is where I wanna be

7. Today was this:

You know what your problem is? You wake up every morning wondering what the world’s gonna do for you, wondering who’s gonna bend over backwards, kiss your ass and make you happy when you should just thank God for another day and leave it the fuck at that.

Touché, and to bed.

Beloved

I got two things I very much wanted today.

From my beloved boyfriend:

(He even got the pot I wanted and potted it himself!)

From my beloved guildmates:

I’m a moosh-face right now – it is no good to continue, except to say that there is nothing in the world like the feeling of being cared for.

Okay, time for bed. Moosh-moosh. :D

Not Giving A Fuck

Oooh, I cussed.

It was an okay day. Everything went haywire at work, my bosses were both on edge, and it took me 1 hour and 15 minutes to make my 20 mile drive home. But then I got home and I thought – you know, taken in perspective, it does not really matter. I did not do anyone any harm today, and even helped, in my small way, to make the days of the people around me run a little bit smoother. It’s not Albert Schweitzer, but it was – you know – okay.

It was also the weekly designated ‘out’ night – ‘out’ away from gaming, away from work, away from anything I am even close to thinking about worrying about (as I am of the worrying variety of odd-duck). Felt good. Wanna see? ;)

Sis Quyen and her boyfriend Jason – this pretty much sums up their relationship. ;)

Some silly monkey wearing glasses that don’t belong to her. And yes, that’s just the glow of good health and excellent (80 proof) spirits in her cheeks.

Our obliging waiter. Rock on, dude.

Sometimes there are just moments of lucidity. We are all very silly creatures living in a big sea monkey globe, after all. There may be no absolute goods or absolute evils, but you know – I can tell when people are being assholes. That’s enough. I’m on it. On it!

Soooo. What was I saying?

Yesterday, we ran Zul’Gurub. We concluded at Mar’li, and there was some spankage. Opinion rages in the Insufficient Light mailing list on whether we were down healers, or we needed better poison control. It is both, really. We were down two healers from our usual group, and down to 16 or 17 players overall, and with our one shaman on poison and our druid running poison backup, and only two priests…it was a little rough. But I have faith that our thinkers will out-brain the wench, and on that day, I will bring you another triumphant silly picture. Till then, only images of death and destructification. Okay, and Murky, too. ;)

It’s true what they say: a leper’s best friend is her murloc.

Play dead, Moo! Oh. Waiiiiit…

And, I am for bed now. One last thing, but I am saying goodnight now, my much-loved sillies. ;)

excerpt from “Journal”
by Edna St. Vincent Millay

This book, when I am dead, will be
A little faint perfume of me.
People who knew me well will say,
“She really used to think that way.”
I do not write it to survive
My mortal self, but, being alive
And full of curious thoughts today,
It pleases me, somehow, to say,
“This book when I am dead will be
A little faint perfume of me.”

How Ghetto Is Your Gamer?

I’m such a dork. ;) This is what happens when gamers don’t pay attention to things like buying curtains for their windows, and discover that they cannot see their computer screens early in the morning for the glare.

I have failed as a girl. I need to go on the prowl for some burly fellow and make him lift some heavy boxes to make up for this.

Happy Birthday to ‘Lexis as well. I hope you are faring well, my beloved friend. :)

Five-Geek Monday
Live Stratholme

We only suffered one death the whole run. We took down all the bosses, and even took on six of the crimsons as a four-man at one point. We rocked it. ;)

The light is now sufficient. Move along!

In the middle of burning down the room, we pause to take a quick picture. Orc-hair was singed, but otherwise, we were unscathed…

The five!

I always make them stop and take pictures. Aren’t we all lovely? :)

Orc Thoughts

“Him is big orc. Me want smash him…but maybe him too big…me smash this little undead instead!”

Der Geeken Photens N’ Stuff

From Monday Night WoW:

Sexy orc dance!

Sexy Huntress Will Dance For Gold!

From Weekend WoW:

Dez Goes Fishing In The Stranglethorn Vale Fishing Extravaganza!

Tastyfish Caught: 47.
Angelfish Almost Caught: 1! (Stupid levitate!)
Dezian Queenfish Caught: Nary a one. They are elusive prey.

Hmmm...

A cosmic meeting between Dez the Priestess, and Jang the Fishergirl…

Dez Goes To The Sunken Temple!

One of my all-time favorite instances. So creepy. So trolly. So creepy-trolly!

Grar!

Making myself comfortable. See my Jubling!

Holy Pillar!

This little light of mine! I’m gonna let it shine!

Dez Goes To Arathi Basin!

A little bored with levelling Dac, I go to a Battleground for the first time with Dezember. Led by the hand by veteran guild PvPers Mallybert the Warlock and Sleighty-Puffer-Fishie the Mage. Three rounds! First round went alliance, but we won the second two! Go Horde! Once my hands stopped quivering and I stopped cursing it was freakin’ awesome! ;)

Help Meeeee!

Fishie, giving me a few words of encouragements before the gates open.

Tuesday Geek Night
Eastern Plaguelands

The guild opted to take a break from instances this week and pound out the group quests in the Eastern Plaguelands. We killed a giant bat, a giant worm, defended a dead city, ate rotten apples that turned us into Scarlet scum, and went dancing at Tyr’s Hand. It was a good night. I am tired, though. To bed. Just a couple of pictures this time…

Yawp!

The Defenders of Darrowshire!

Tyr

That’s right, baby. We like to dance!

Five-Geek Monday
Scholomance

Every Monday the five of us – Dez the Priestess, Mal the Hunter, Chief Tuggles the Shaman, Mallybert the Warlock and Glorkimer the Warrior – get together and test our mettle as a group of five, before the Tuesday raid madness ensues. Tonight’s target: the lovely, candle-filled spookiness of Scholomance. Smooth as [Homemade Cherry Pie]! Only two deaths the whole time! We rocked it. ;)

The Alchemy Lab

One of my favorite rooms in Scholomance: The Alchemy Lab. Oh so creepy, and also – drippy! ;)

It's ALIVE!

The Fabled Sleeping Orc-Face, awaiting a kiss from his true love. Or, just drunk. Or, lazy. It is hard to tell – he is an orc…

Whee!

Triumphant crypt dancing after defeating Gandling.

Tuesday Geek Night
UBRS: Take III

We had a full 15 for our UBRS raid tonight. Let’s see…3 warriors, 3 mages, 2 rogues, 2 priests, 2 warlocks, 1 druid, 1 shaman, and 1 hunter. The whole run, we had maybe…four deaths, and only one of those was on the General. :) Our little group grows savvy in the ways of the raid – we hope to be in fine form for Zul’Gurub! A few screenies. With that much AE, a secondary priest’s got time on her hands… ;)

The Beastie

See Great Chief Tuggles sneak in a quick drink while the rest of us (sans one warlock, who ran off) pose.

Purple!

Run-by arcaning!

Fiery!

We killed them all in a neat pile, because we are neat. ;)

Tuesday Geek Night
Upper BRS

A couple pictures from our weekly guild raid. We mustered up a very mage-filled, priest-filled 10 to hit the Upper Spire. It was sheep and healing up to our eyeballs, but pretty much, the General schooled us. Next time, maybe. Couple pictures. I’ll be back later! :)

Whee, horde!
Beware of the shady characters you meet in dark hallways…

Glowy!
Lots of pretty colors…there’s a dragon in there somewhere…
