Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

alright so, my show is this saturday.. but all the setup and stuff is done! at least, what i have to do is. bradley might be emailing me asking for like, titles and a personal statement, but those are cake. in fact i might write my personal statement today, i've been thinking about it for a while. i just don't know how it should be like uh, presented.

school starts in a week.. oddly enough i'm not really freaked out. in a weird way, i'm looking forward to it.. i really started to enjoy it last year. i am quite frightened of the college stuff, but, i know for CERTAIN where I want to go now. i didn't really think about it.. but more and more i was thinkin' about RISD, and now I'm just.. enamoured with the school. I have to go there. heart so if I can just get in there.. and get enough money to pay for it gonk then i'm good. not looking forward to work on my focus project, tho. <_<;

and just, in WoW news.. i had the worst mara run ever. rofl well, sorta. i was really happy questing in tanaris, getting ready for a ding and a trip to un'goro.. but this hunter guy whom i've grouped with (along with his war and rogue friend) twice before asked me to do mara. he said we'd just do princess, it should be quick, and so i agreed. they're fun people :3

so for once i wasn't the last person there (first time was RFK, i was across the universe from them. second time was ZF, i had to go buy reagants and pots.. the flight from darn to tanaris blows.), the rogue took ages. xP and then we were all set and the war kinda.. disappeared. so we waited around for that and the mage (who they didn't know, he was just a pickup guy) got a bit antsy, but he still waited. i don't blame him, we were all chatting with eachother and enjoying ourselves and he didn't know anybody. so finally, the war came back, we went in, killed a few centaurs on the way to the port and ported into inner mara.

inner mara is beautiful. gonk crying too bad i didn't get to see much of it...
cuz see, after a few mobs, the war had to go afk. we then killed a pat or two WITHOUT the war (who was our tank) because I just rock at teh heals. cool I would like to take this moment to point out that I am realizing, much as I like him as a person, that war.. sucks at tanking. now that i've done a run with another group - zf - , and SEEN someone really tank.. he sucks. the hunter and i died a few times in rfk because of aggro the war didn't take care of, and i didn't even have a shot at survival for the skeletons. the only reason i survived 100 trolls in ZF is that by the time we got to them, essi was beartanking with her 60 to replace.. someone. rolleyes i thought, at first, that our trouble was that i was bad at healing - but i learned a lot about healing during my second ZF run with that good tank, and I'm much better at knowing when to use what now. (rank 4 HT spam ftw!) so, unless it's just that the rogue and mage have no idea how to control aggro (which i really don't think is the case with the mage, he seemed pretty smart), that tank is the reason i had to chase down the mage and save his a** on several occassions. >[

aaaaanyway.
before the war even came back from afk, the rogue had to afk, and i had to tab out because ess said brookelyn was looking for me. i finished up plans with her, tabbed back in.. still no war. he was gone for like, 15mins. again. > so finally, the rogue said he had to go.. and so did the hunter.. and the mage ported us to stormwind. rolleyes

if i hadn't known those guys, i'd have been pissed. i was still kinda grumpy because i turned down two ZF runs while waiting with these guys, and i actually need to do ZF for this kilt thing i want. still tho, i'm glad i'm making friends on WoW. even just as their "lesbian healslave." rofl
