The One Where I PuG
Aug 31st
My little shammy hit 40 yesterday. At which point the Project began. You see, I decided I do want her to get to 80 before Cataclysm releases. But I’m not a fan of questing in Azeroth and Outland. So, I’ll dual spec, and PuG alot of the way through! Maybe even PvP! I can PvP as a healer. Just not as DPS. Yes, you read that correctly. I, Jess, hater of PuGs and PvP, have chosen to make use of them both in large quantities to level. So, after some speccing (thank you Stop) and trading in of honor points, I hopped in the Queue. About twenty minutes later, I’m healing my first dungeon, Uldaman. A place I have never been.
First, we all port in, only to see the tank…back his way out of the portal. You weren’t subtle by the way. You’re a BIG BLUE DRAENEI we saw you!! So we wait. We get another tank. I should have known it was bad when he had more X’s in his name than a spambot. We got Super Pally (can you feel the sarcasm?). He ran off while I was drinking. I let him die the third time. Which was funny, because the mobs all aggro on me, the hunter, and the shadow priest. Funny why? Because with a swap to my dps totem set…and some fast chain healing, we got the troggs dead without us dying. I rez the tank, and get “What happened?” I inform him he shouldn’t run off without the healer. The hunter at least showed some appreciation.
So what’s he do next? Takes off AGAIN. And now he’s pulling about four stone golems and a sundry of iron dwarves. It’s at this point, I realize, I cannot heal stupid! I should have made a dash to the doorway in order to self rez safely. My bad. It was a wipe. The tank then leaves, and the group falls apart. I take a break, head to Tanaris to get quests gathered.
I put myself back in the Queue while I did so. And a group popped. Back to Uldaman, with an awesome tank. No, really. He hardly took damage, he held aggro like a pro, he let the healer drink, and explained boss fights and reminded us to run to him if we GOT aggro. Toxicsushi…you’re a pro, and saved my opinion of pugging for the moment.
It Ain’t Easy Bein…Purple
Aug 25th
So, last night, we of the Purge decided to hop into Gul’drak. Ratshag decided there were a few too many crazy trolls in the world, and they had to die. ‘Twas me, the face melting shadow priest of epic doom, Rim…the very colorful mage with a talent for blowing things up, Cameron, the kickass Orc shaman who is such a badass healer she kicked Cancer’s ass (yay!!), and of course Ratshag. We had a pug 5th but the fool dropped group for no reason. Clearly intimidated by the Awesomeness of the Purge. I walked out with four badges, just what I needed for some lovely shoulders.
This was after doing a couple normal runs earlier with Sir Ratters, Cam, and Leilu who Mews and is Married IRL, one being the daily random.
Now, my new shoulders are pretty wicked looking. But That Ratshag said noone would notice because I’m all shadowy and see through. I disagree! First of all they match the rest of my clothes beautifully.

Second, you can indeed see the wicked in shadow! Men and fashion just don’t mix ya’ll. (click to embiggify).
And just an FYI: Tis hard to realize you are standing in purple goo when you are purple yourself.
I Answered My Own Question.
Aug 24th
Yesterday, I asked a question to myself on twitter.
Why am I stressing about catching gear up, when Cataclysm releases in a few months?
I started wondering this yesterday afternoon after enchanting my dagger (Blood Weeper) with Berserking. I then started looking at ICC loot tables to see what my priorities would be on the next alt raid, so I don’t blow my bidding on the first shiny to pop up. (mental note, must learn more about suicide kings). I then started going “omg I’ll NEVER catch up!”, which led to the aforementioned tweet.
Later that evening my Hunny and I were discussing the sudden change to my oldest daughter’s relationship status on facebook. She had mentioned he’d break up with her, because he was moving, and didn’t do long distance. This led to my husband asking…
Why did she even bother when WE are moving in a few months?
And that is when I answered his question, and my earlier one.
Why? Because life doesn’t just stop dead when it’s going to change. You don’t put your life on hold just because you may be moving to a new state in just a few short months. If you did that, especially with us, you’d never HAVE a life to begin with. It’s why we did so many trip last week. We want to leave Washington with as much completed as possible.
And that brings me back to my rogue’s gear. I want to finish WoTLK with as complete a toon as possible. Just as SSB Jezi replied on twitter.
I am doing the same thing.. I think its to ‘finish’ the character before the expac comes out…
Indeed!
Celebrity Stalking
Aug 13th
First the general awesome. Priests. Hottest members of the raid of course.
Ratters couldn’t be left out of the minionizing. Sadly, he is not a DK, and therefore, instead of a ghoul, Jessrayje became a fluffy shadow bunny minion. A hissing bunny. Yep.
Just a bit too far my Orcish friend…
Then came celebrity night…some minor player named Deathtickle? Death…whisper? Meh whatever.
I wasn’t impressed. We left her castle though, and went to visit Arthas. He is soooo last season. But worth the hassle, to get to hang with my girl Sylvanas.
I’m going to find out who her trainer is, I’m so tired of being asked if I want a sandwich.
We Have a Rogue Down!
