To the Blizzard employees responsible for the changes for protection warriors.

I want to have your Nelf warrior bebehs…tons of them. I’m too busy having the time of my life grinding mobs for fun on the Elemental Plateau on the PTR, sword & board, while in defensive stance, and with tanking gear to come up with a coherent post about my thoughts about the (proposed) changes to protection warriors.

May Elune bless you for the rest of your days.

Jess

P.S. Lots of bebehs…all with little white ponytails. Very cute.

P.P.S. Any chance I could maybe dual-wield shields?

Yes, Veloreynn, I can read. Stop casting Arcane Intellect on me.

So I recently got tagged by Ratshag for this. I honestly can’t remember if I’ve read some of those, but I think I remember reading the following.

  • The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
  • Forever by Judy Blume
  • The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger
  • Sex by Madonna
  • A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
  • Blubber by Judy Blume
  • The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
  • To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
  • The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton
  • A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein
  • Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
  • The Anarchist Cookbook by William Powell
  • Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume
  • The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
  • How to Eat Fried Worms by Thomas Rockwell

As for the challenge to read something new on this list…well there are several that look quite tempting, although to be honest I don’t know if I’ll find the time this week. Can Harper’s count?

Consider yourself tagged Keredria.

Keredria turned our most recent Karazhan raid into a dance party. Based on a post on World of Matticus, she played music over vent before or after our encounters. She used several of the suggestions given on that post. She also played Wreath of Fire by Big Bear Butt for Shade of Aran, and I’m Too Sexy by Right Said Fred for Prince given the way he likes to strut around. I suggested Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits (one of my favorite songs) after we did Opera since we got the Romulo and Julianne encounter. After we downed Prince, Veloreynn put in a special request for Dancing Queen for me/Jess. :)

Happy birthday to (the) Tree of Life.

It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men’s hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanates from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit. – Robert Louis Stevenson

Well not that old, but another year, another ring. Head over to Tree of Life my fellow tree-huggers to congratulate my leet healer Keredria (and the only resto druid with her own song) on a year of blogging.

I’m a twig.

I’ve had a bit of “blogger’s block” lately. There are some things I’ve wanted to write about but the posts haven’t come together. But Keredria’s latest post about noobishness reminded me of something.

A couple of us have healing alts. Imdestiny, our shadow priest, has a new resto druid, Tygira. Keredria has taken her on as her apprentice. Now I have a human holy priest, Muriel. Now statistically Muriel is a better healer than Tygira due to superior gear. However while Keredria has given Tygira the loving title of “bebeh tree,” she refers to Muriel as a “twig.” I protested this but Keredria said that it is because Muriel is not a druid. Now I don’t think that I am a great healer, and certainly nowhere near as good as our main healers, but I think I am ok. However I showed my noobishness the other night when in preparation for assault on Nightbane Keredria slipped me some mana oil followed by a “/s noob healer.” Oh the embarrassment. Despite the many times that Muriel has gone OOM or nearly so on such encounters, and despite the many bottles of mana oil Muriel made herself and stuffed in the bank while training enchanting, it never occurred to me to lube my Nightstaff of the Everliving. /sigh
