Time for a Change July 23, 2008

Standing among thousands of screaming Papa Roach fans, I came to a startling realization - I’m over him. We will always be friends and he will always be a part of my life, but I no longer have a desire to rekindle a romantic relationship. After a year I suppose many people would say this realization was a long time coming…they would be right. Since the day he left I have searched for my place in a world without him; many times I felt secure on my own but at other times I floundered. The past 2 months have been especially difficult as I have struggled to face the fact that while I still harbored non-platonic feelings he did not. My hyper-romantic tendencies and overactive imagination spun many tales in which he came to his senses, realized he couldn’t live without me, and begged me on bended knee to take him back. Living in this fantasy world was painful and unhealthy, but I never could seem to break free. So what changed? I have no idea. I admit that I prayed for God to release me from this struggle and perhaps He chose last night to wipe that slate clean. Perhaps spending social time with him reminded me of the some of the reasons why we didn’t work out in the first place. Perhaps my eagerness for the future has pushed aside my longing for the past. Perhaps it was simply time. Whatever precipitated this change I am glad it has finally happened.
Shizz Work – The Best WoW Quest?!? July 2, 2008

In the course of my Warcraft marathon last night I completed the following quest:
Level 61 Hellfire Peninsula Obtained at level 58 HordeAlliance Use the Felhound Whistle to summon a Fel Guard Hound. Take the Fel Guard Hound for a walk and kill some Deranged Helboars. Search for the Shredder Keys in the Fel Guard Hound’s “leavings.” Return the Shredder Keys to Foreman Razelcraz by the mine northwest of Thrallmar. Shredder Keys: 0/1 Felhound Whistle: 0/1 I finally got my shredder working but I seem to have lost the keys. I keep a pack of felhounds to protect my camp. They don’t do a very good job and they like to bite me a lot. They also like shiny things. I think this one felhound I have may have eaten my shredder keys. I’ll pay you if you’ll take my felhound on a walk. Kill some helboars and let him eat. He’ll do his business. When he’s done, see if you can’t find the keys in his “leavings.”
For you non-WoW players (and shame on you for not being one of the 10 million people worldwide who play!) I basically had to get this “dog” to follow me as I killed a few demon hogs. The dog then ate the corpse of the hog and shat on the ground. I was then required to dig through the pile of Fel Gaurd Hound ’Leavings’ which looks like this:
Okay, so by this point I am cracking up laughing. The programmers at Blizzard are freakin’ hilarious, and I love it when they add crazy things like this to the game. Digging through hog shit for a key…genius!!
Now here’s the best part — you have to dig through several piles of poo before you find the key. Each time you dig, your character emanates a green wavy aura and you are cursed. The name of the curse? STANKY!! See below for details:
I LOVE IT!! The best WoW quest I’ve done by far
