Seriously, unless you have an extremely generous heart, and wish to donate freely, this blog is purely for tracking what gear/mats I'm going to need for getting my ShadowPriest Kara-ready while trying to get together the materials and equipment I'll need to roll Holy afterwards.   On the other hand, if I've missed something, or I'm being a douche (OMG!?!?  THAT!?!?  But this is SO much better!) then tell me.  Due to my kid being out for summer, my w0w time has been rather contricted of late because he keeps getting more and more cabin-fevered.

My goal (due to my current inability for full raiding) is to have a halfway to t4 Shadow set and a halfway to t4 Holy set, while leaning more towards good Holy gear.  Primarily I'll be staying Shadow until I have the gear to re-roll Holy.  Let's be honest, an undergeared Holy Priest is going to be destroyed on SSO dailies.  An undergeared Shadow Priest?  Might stand a chance........

Also, this will be a continually updated blog until I figure out exactly what I need.

Hey guys!

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm moving over the next couple days so I won't be raiding unless through some form of internet magic I can play, in which case I will of course reverse my blog here and raid this week. However, that's probably not going to happen so sorry I can't be there this week to blow shit up, but I will be back on A.S.A.P. I will also be sending Ataraxia and other raid leaders messages pertaining to the above, so please no one feel the need to let the raid leaders know that I'm moving. Unless of course they are ignoring their messages and getting pissed off that I'm not online for raid. If that happens please let them know that I'm moving, the wraith of Garreth, Ataraxia and company is furious and I don't want to anger the WOW gods 8).

Thanks again and I'll c'ya guys online soon,

Py

Found out today that I graduate September 19th. It's about a
month or so away. Until then, I may have to take a bow out from a few
raids, monday/fridays at most, and probably not both days each week. I
DON'T go to public school, and do my stuff by myself. I have to get so
many hours done, but since I have so few left, I also need a certain
amount of work done to go with it so it can be evaluated. My problem is
that raid times, are my best time for doing work. My neice/nephews are
asleep, and it's quiet. With that said, I'll post here, or get on the
game if I can't make it.

Generally, I might be on my
alts/main sitting afk in a BG while working, since I don't have to do
much at all to move into defense and sit. I don't want people thinking
I'm doing other things besides working when I should be in a raid, cause
that's NOT the case.

This doesn't mean I'm done raiding, or anything stupid like that. Just means I need to get my shit done.

Not too long ago you all read my resignation letter from raiding. As it turns out there have been some fortuitous changes in my class schedule. Before I had a class Monday and Wednesday and another class on Tuseday and Thursday that overlapped with raid times. At earliest (MW) I would have gotten out of class 30 mins after raid had already started. However, as the deadline for payments approached my adviser called me and let me know that some spots had opened up in both classes that I had wait listed on.

I seized the chance to take those spots so that I can get off earlier. Both of these classes start at 10:00am and therefore free up my evenings! My last classes now end at roughly 5:00pm (4:00 server) so I will be back with plenty of time to spare! Hopefully I will still be able to fill my old raid spot and continue the fun I have had with you guys. If not, hopefully i can weasel my way back into a raid spot like i did back in SSC :P

I'll be away from the 21st till the 26th of August.  Time to go enjoy the company of the people I'm related to in a group setting with rules intended to prevent us from killing each other.  Otherwise known as a family reunion.  I am actually looking forward to it. Really.  Last time when I said to my Hubby "never ever let me go to one of those again" I didn't really mean it.  Honest. This time all our parents are to be seperated at all times and not let within 5 metres of each other.  And each of us is responsible at all times for their behaviour...if they get out of hand we must take them away.  For my Irish family its sometimes better if we visit from a bit of a distance.  There is lots of animosity between my mom, Eileen, and her siblings and her siblings with each other as well.  So all the cousins band together to keep the peace.  I'm sure it'll go better this time.  No one is allowed to bring cast iron frying pans for instance.  That's a given after Uncle Allan and Uncle Phillip had the frying pan/whiskey bottle incident.  And we all know there's no way we can prevent Uncle Phillip from leaving the whiskey at home so extra measures are being taken to keep him occupied. 

Well that's probably too much detail just to let you know I'll be away, but as I was saying to someone else recently; I should never be left alone with a keyboard and too much coffee late at night.

That one is the first episode

Here is the second:

That one is the second. This one also yields 2 famous "cameos" by the Famous Ret paladins of Slayton and Zalgradis. Definitely good for a laugh
