Confesions of a Lost Soul

10 days until I fly away to Baltimore to visit family and freinds!

I just bought my tickets to Baltimore yesterday and I am officially excited beyond all measure! I'll be gone for 11 days back east visiting the family and Chris. *happy dance*

I'll even get to take my first train ride (ever) up to NY when I go meet Chris and by default I'll see Grand Central Station. I've aready gotten everything arranged and have a freind who also happens to be my neighbor to come over to take care of the girls for me. the only thing(s) left are to dig up my luggage and arrange a ride to the airport the morning I leave. i've already been saving up my tips from work for spending money and I'm confident I'll have plenty of cash on hand that I wont need to touch my bank account at all while I'm there.

Mom even wants to take me (going dutch)to Mideval Times for dinner one night while I'm visiting. I'm also hoping to spend a fair ammount of time with the kids. And of course theres Chris I'm sooooo excited to finnaly get to meet him face to face its going to be a lot of fun, he wants to take me to a load of special places he knows and we both agreed we dont want to do the NY thing we both hate big citys lol! I'm figuring I'll spend a week with the family and three days with Chris then back down to Baltimore on the second to last day to spend the night with the family then back home to Tucson.

So i thought i would add my two cents to the latest forum request from blizz. here it is i would love some feedback.

[quote]I know it's not a pet........but would be very cool to have a Hunter only mount, that was tamed by the hunter (epic questline perhaps??)!!! Tie in the questline style from the Rok'Delar bow....having to do certain objectives with certain skills (would rather see this done with another weapon - like a Bow, having to tame a very unusual pet/mount would be pretty cool).[/quote]

I whole heartedly agree with this idea! Ever since my first Character i built got her first mount I have wished that Hunters could tame their own mount (within reason of course) Think about it, Warlocks and Palladins have their own unique mounts they have (had) to do a special quest line to obtain. More recently the Death Knights with their own unique mounts both a ground and a flying mount that they need to do special quests to obtain. Why not the one class in the game that utilizes the very creatures that a fair number of the mounts in the game are bassed off of as their companions and partners in just about every thing they do? Worgs, Cats, Tallstriders (aka Hawkstriders) Raptors, Dragonhawks. I think it would be absolutly amazing if Hunters where given the chance to get a unique Hunter only mount.

Now as for Pet ideas/feedback I would love to see some aquatic / semiaquatic pets introduced for Cata. especially with the introduction of under water zones and instances, lets face it who could justafiably belive any Bird, Moth or Wasp Hunter pet would be capable of doing well underwater? Sharks, eels, octopi, Hydra (exotic), Thrashers (exotic) and Rays, mabey even dare I say it? Orca (exotic) would all be great options for Hunters wishing to have pets that are more suitable for the aquatic environs comming soon. I know I would absolutly tame any one of those beasts if I was able to regardless of the limitation of where I would be able to have it at my side.

Pet armor. soemthign i belive just about every hunter would like to see added. perhaps it could be something to be added to the Leatherworking and Blacksmithing patterns; Leather and Mail armor for Cunning and Ferocity pets. And from the blacksmiths, plate for the Tenacity pets. this would add more variety for hunters and their pets as the armor itself could possably add to the pets viability in PvP Raiding etc though increased survivability through higehr armor / health to a single stat buff or a flat dammage buff. Absolutly nothing like PLayer character armor though nothign that could be gemed, enchanted or altered as that would 100% be overpowering.

Adressing the issue of one Pet being the top choice I think that what has been mentioned in previous blue posts is a very good start, Personally i am just stubborn enough that I refuse to use the so-called top pets on my Hunters and i play with the pets I enjoy. My main Hunter uses a Moth to raid with and I can generally pull 1k under a better geared Hunter using a wolf. That right there is my personal mark of pride and my little way of rubbing it in that gear and pet do not always equal skill. I play to have fun and that is what I aim to continue to do into Cata.

well i got it confirmed by my boss my vacation for July is good to go so now I need to move on to the actual planning stage IE: pricing and buying the plane tickets and scheduling the time with the family and Chris once i get to Baltimore ^.^ i'll be taking about 10 days to be out there visiting so i need to figure out when i'm going to be staying with Mom and my Brother, Gina and the kids and when I'll be going up north to stay with Chris and his family i want to make sure I get enough time in with both sets lol. so far i'm looking at around 390 for the round trip plane tickets which isn't to bad. then I just need to plan out and save up the extra money to take as cash for spending money while i'm there. and of course I'll need to find someone willing to come over and feed the kittys twice a day while I'm gone.

I'm realy looking forward to this trip i think it will be good for me in more than one way, it will give me a break from work which has been getting extremely stressful for me lately. I'll get to be with my family again which is always a good thing, and I will finally get to meet Chris face to face and spend some real time together with him, hes so exited i'm finally coming out to see him and so am I, hes been so supportive of me while ive been riding this emotional roller coaster since November. It will be nice to be able to finally give him the hug ive wanted to give him for months and to just be able to walk and talk with him right there instead of through a chat service like AIM or while we Play WoW together. Hes already promised to take me to a beautiful natural waterfall he knows about and to "the only Pizza place that makes *REAL* NY style Pizza" in the area lol. I cant wait to get away from here and just relax with family and friends for a few days with nothing to have to worry about and no responsibilities other than enjoying my much needed vacation.

Honestly there are far mor important things that what a person chooses to call themself that we should be working to have changed that I feel trying to force people to stop saying "owner" and say "guardian" instead is a huge waste of time and effort.

Dissapointed.
Why? becaus I am no where near where I had hopped to be. I am overweight, single, barely making ends meet; and generaly unhappy with my life. The few bright spots can be summed up on one hand.. my pets, Sam, Marina and the gang from wednesday games... and Chris who is planning to fly all the way down here from New York just to see me in the next few months. My family while they are bright spots are far from reach and i miss them badly. I have begun to think that it may be time for me to find a new life some place else but i cant even afford to move away from this place that holds so much pain for me now.

so I finnaly had enough extra money to buy a real bed. all told the frame, a memory foam mattress and a special pillow designed for people who sleep on their sides shipped "site to store" is costing me less than $400 *happydance* The bed itself is a twin size storage style bed with three built in drawers and a headboard all in a very dark grey. It all should arrive at the Store for me to (somehow) pick up by the 24th of april so I'm still sleeping on a leaky airmattress until then but the wait will be worth it. I cant wait until i can lay down on a real bed again! It will be so nice to not wake up in a half deflated airmatress 2-3 times a night to add air to it.

I had to put Trouble to sleep today. she had finnaly gotten to the point between her age and her renal failure that it was to much for her to live comfortably. I got home tonight and Angel my moms cat who i adopted when she moves back east began searchign for Trouble and crying when she couldent find her and now I'm crying too. God i miss my baby! Angle is trying to comfort me by sitting next to me and gently rubbing and pawing at me but its not the same.. I want my Trouble girl.

yeeea, on the way home from my new game group at 2am thismorening and i look up at an exclamation by sam to see headlights comming at us on the wrong side of th road... eep! a rather heafty looking truck was comming right at us on 22nd, swerved jumping the median over tot he correct side of the road only to swerv back over the median into oncomming traffich behind us then swerv yeat again back tot he correct side of the road. *heat thumping* "ok i'm calling the police" pulled out my cell and dialed 911 reported the incident i have a feeling the mornign news may very well have a story about a dark colored pickup truck driving the wrong way on 22d and getting into a "head on collision" this morning. the driver likely either drunk on drugs or the truck being stollen. so needless to say I"m wide awake right now with work looming in 6hours... not good..

I just got the call today, I got the apartment, I'll most likely be moving in next week on my days off.
