WoW!!

I am weak. I bought World of Warcraft yesterday. I installed it and played my character up to level 5. It probably took me longer than it should have, what with all my trying to climb the mountains around noobton. I am playing a gnome/warlock. I know that gnomes in our group of friends are very uncool but I thought it might be fun. I just started yesterday and I am already a charter member of a guild. I am playing at Twisted Nether, it's an rppvp server (whatever that means!) I kinda know, you can kill other player characters. I already killed a dude in a duel, 'cause I pwn. He was a level lower than I was so I don't really know what he was thinking. I have died a couple of times because I ran into a troll cave when nobody else was in there fighting trolls and aggrivated all of them and tried to out run them ... into a dead end. I think i had five on me. I really like trying to climb mountains.

Besides the few accomplishments of last night i am totally overwhelmed by the enormity of the game. They have holidays during the year and carnivals. You can join parties and do quests together or alone. There are guilds. There are a million skills and spells and paths there are even jobs. I can't keep that all straight. So like, there can be different types of paladin depending on things you choose to learn and use and you get different kinds of bonuses depending on what race you are. I have a hard enough time remembering what quests I accepted, what I need to do to complete them and where I can find the guy who will reward me. I always forget where I picked up the quest! You can sleep, sit, tell jokes, flirt and I don't even know what else. On top of all that there's a long history of the HUGE land with 8 perspectives! I get lost in the snow all the time. I don't even want to start thinking about what can happen in contested land as opposed to enemy territory or your own land.

I am having a happy two days off. I applied to a couple of NASA jobs. I guess they aren't going to have an independent job site anymore but are going to be mixed in with the USAjobs site. That might totally suck. Today I have to look into a couple of companies, update some old applications, work out, shower, scrapbook for work, play wow, watch House and clean the house!

Here's a picture of my character, dancing on a mountain.
