Josalin and WotLK
Josalin — Wed, 09/24/2008 - 10:08
Had you talked to me a week ago, I was positive I was going to be continuing to raid come WotLK. If you talk to me today, I would have another story to tell you. To put this as simply as possible, I'm retiring from raiding.
I know its very sudden, and honestly, it was a decision that I made yesterday that sparked this. Come January I will be going back to school, and trying to get my life back on track. I know myself and my personality well enough by now to know if I'm raiding come wrath, I won't do my homework, I won't study, I'll procrastinate to hell and back.
Does this mean I'm quitting the game?
To be honest, right now, I'm not sure what it means. I'll be playing it by ear. If I can keep the game active and just tinker around with it now and then, than I will be more then happy to keep my account open. However, the second it starts to interfere with my homework, that will be the last time Josalin logs in again. I will continue to raid and play until then(after all I have the game preordered already)
I'll definitely miss raiding with you guys. I had a lot of fun, and I'm glad I was given the chance to share in the fun.
Much love,
Josalin
Recent computer troubles..

Recently, I was lucky enough to have been invited twice to the LF1M raids. Unfortunately, on both nights my performance was less then optimal - for which I apologize.
The Wed-fri of last week(4/16-4/18) I was in the middle of moving home. So, thursday night I had stayed in a hotel with my parents, while all my stuff was packed up in a van to be transported back across the state the next morning. Friday night, when I had gotten my invite to BT, I was running on borrowed wifi. I hadn't gotten the chance yet to send my ethernet cord down through the floor to get real nets yet. The leeched net hadn't been too bad most of the day, but apparently with the few programs I was running, and the mods I was running, etc, it was more then it could handle. So it was constantly crashing on me and cutting out.
Ever since I downloaded the 2.4 patch, my poor old computer has been giving me no end of trouble. Especially when I zone, which normally causes my game to lock up. Last night it hit its peak, where somehow my busted computer managed to cause both my new keyboard and realitivly new mouse to die sudden and confusing deaths. During the middle of the pulls to the first boss of Hyjal that we did. I had to switch everything over to my laptop as quickly as I could, but unfortunatly vent decided it was going to protest too, and froze up on me in the process. So I went into the first boss with naught but what I had heard of the strat, and grid.
I used to play WoW on this laptop, so theorectially it could handle it, but the poor thing has taken a lot of abuse since I first got it, and was having trouble keeping up with the game. Also, trying to learn on the spot how to play with a different mouse, keyboard, keybindings and a much smaller screen wasn't easy.
Sugar, Spice, and everything nice.

I really have yet to decide what this shall be about, I suppose I just felt like rambling. If you know me at all, I'm pretty sure you find that title rather fitting to my personality. Just add a bit more spice, a little bit of Lemon juice, and voila! Instant Josalin. Might need to throw a little bit of alcohol if you think I came out a little bland.
Silliness aside, I guess I could use this space to tell you guys a little bit more about me. I know, don't all cheer at once. I'm 20 years old, and very much looking forward to my 21st, where apparently everyone and their mum intends on taking me to a bar to get drunk. Eep.
Born and raised just outside of Pittsburgh, Pa. This means I'm a hardcore Steelers fan. It's true, just ask my dad. He'd disown me if I swore allegiance to a different team. I don't really care for baseball or Hockey, which thankfully my dad is ok with.
I lived in Providence, RI for a year, and that currently is a place I'd love to move back to if I ever got a chance. I've taken two years in college, but I have to take time off for god knows how long because of finances.
I'll add new blogs as I can think of more interesting things. Feel free to ask for specifics =D
I know - I've been MIA

I'm sure atleast one of you has wondered where I ran off too. At the same time I'm sure the men have enjoyed being able to flirt shamelessly with my women, since I haven't been around to keep a watchful eye over my lovely ladies.
Either way! I do have a reason! Some people would call it an eviction notice, I more would call it my landlord being an asshole. I had til February 14th to find a new place to live(we moved out on the 15th, the day we found a place.) Not that we were slackers, but apparently this area just doesn't have much too offer(believe me, I'm NOT surprised.)
Having spent all of last friday moving, and all of last Saturday unable to move, we came to the realization that there was no signal to be found! Nothing to leech for miles! Which pretty much meant we were stuck offline til friday.
Friday came, and went. Still no net to call our own(DAMN YOU VERIZON!!!)
I did however find a temporary crappy net to leech. It probably won't last long, but I figured I'd update you guys.
Btw, Verizon says they changed their minds and are going to email us on Wednesday to let us know when they're gonna come out. But I heard tale of a long ranty phonecall in the near future, so maybe sooner.
xoxo,
Josalin
