I mentioned a few posts ago that I’m a dual specced Boomkin these days. I’m enjoying it much more than I thought I would actually. But what really makes me happy is this talent in my solo spec called Owlkin Frenzy. The first time I saw it proc, and heard the sound effect I  cracked up. Nothing like a big fluffy bird beast RAWRSMASHING a mob over the head with glowing orange wing tips! And omg the sound! I hereby rename that talent /JESSRAGE!!

When was the last time I updated this thing? Aside from the podcast plug. Dear Elune, look at these cobwebs. And The dust is out of control. It’s not that I haven’t been playing. I’ve been playing ALOT actually. So, I’m just gonna update with a list. Yep, I’m bullet pointing!

  • Jessmyn has gotten all my play time.
  • She has gained exalted reputation with all the alliance cities, earning her "Ambassador" title.
  • She is also now exalted with Argent Crusade, AND Silver Covenant.
  • She still hates jousting.
  • She is up to 93 pets!
  • With all that rep, she even ended up with 25 mounts.

She’s also learned a hard lesson. You see when she went to Boomkin spec, she thought woot! Aoe! Those 10 converted heroes would be easy mode right?? So she runs in with starfall raining down, typhooon doin it’s thing, then hurricane…for about a second when she died. Yeah I was "that guy"…err girl. One must learn to control the force that is Boomkin AoE.

1. HoT yourself up!

2. run toward group, activate starfall.

3. pull out the Treants!

4. Typhoon (Unglyphed of course)

5. BARKSKIN!

6. Hurricane!

7. Profit.

They just released the trailer for Cataclysm on the net stream for blizzcon. New races confirmed, level cap confirmed at 85, SOME of the MMO-C stuff was confirmed but not all. I still have 15 minutes of denial left. Dwarf Shamans? hmm maybe thats ok. Troll Druids?? no. No. JUST NO!!!  No race should have BOTH druids and Shammies. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. I’m Jess, I don’t NEED to be rational, so there!

That’s Jessmyn. Beside her is her freshly hatched Deviate Hatchling! (thank you Twice!) I say he is PINK. But certain Tree druids insist he is purple. Now…I understand maybe the blue stripes on his back may blend with the pink and be confusing but…I show you evidence. See Jess’ hair? THAT is purple. My baby is clearly not THAT color. He is pink!!

Ya know, when Azeroth seems intent on kicking your ass, and the idiots are flooding trade chat, instances aren’t working, the Sea of QQ tears is rising,  just remember, there still some great people that play this game. And if you’re really lucky…you call them guildies.

I am really lucky. Thank you…Anonymous:)

I can’t wait to be able to play again. I miss the fun, and randomness of my guild. I miss everything. But my stupid computer is locking up when I tab out, and if I can’t tab out I can’t get to my instant messenger. And even tho chances are low that Hubby will get to a computer right now, it’s still a risk I can’t afford. BUT! Friday, I’ll have my little dell mini, and be able to log back in to PLAY!!!

It’s Monday. It’s been almost a week since the patch, and the milion and tenth lifebloom nerf that came with it. no, I’m not going to /Jessrage over it anymore. I quit. I’m letting it go. I mean after all, we do have these spiffy new skins for bear right?

Hey what’s that on my neck?? OMG! That’s why they are trying to kill trees!! Bear Jewelry!

That’s all that is left of my tree form. Ya know, it’s been a long week for me. I haven’t talked to my husband in 10 days, I just found out that I won’t get to talk to him for another month. But you know what?? It’s a new week. It’s time to pull myself up by the bootstraps in the virtual part of my life. So, I did the only thing I could do.

Say hello to the new and improved Jess. Double Barreled PewPew Shotgun! Double Barreled you ask? well that link is to my armory, check it out. Two balance specs. One for groups, one for solo. 

And it’s also time to say thank you. To my awesome guild leader, and favorite druid blogger BBB, for his epic attempt to cheer me up. The effort alone was enough to pick me up. And to a former guildie, who shall remain anonymous, for the awesome gift of most of the epic flight fund for my pally before you quit the game. And to all of my guildies and BA friends that have put up with all my baggage the last 10 days.

Iheart You all.
