I should be working on a drawing. It’s due tonight. But I hate that class therefor I am procrastinating. It’s my “Introduction to Drawing” class. Which hasn’t been much of an intro. There was no basic technique, just “draw this” and then grades based on use of line and shading (shading also wasn’t gone over for anything but ink.), and whole bunch of other things. Letter grades mind you. And there was no leeway, even though the professor knew most of us had no experience. I was even more shocked when we got to drawing people, and had no example video given. We had an example video (three in fact) for drawing flowers! I went to Barnes&Noble to find a book I could use just to pass that part. I ended up with a bunch, and the decision that I’d get through the semester and then learn my own way in my own time. It really should be a pass/fail course. You put in obvious effort you pass you draw stick figures you fail. Anyhoooo…
I went back to Azeroth last night. I’d been getting frustrated with Dragon Age 2 (love it by the way, but can’t post without SPOIKERING all of you and having rotten apples thrown at me) being buggy so I played WoW…on PATCH DAY
! And I started the new STV quest chain, because there was a pet involved. And I realized in the process…I suck at boomkin. I’m half dead before a SINGLY normal 85 mob is 1/4 dead. Now I understand most people are in heroic and raid gear at this point but it’s normal 85 mobs. So beaten up, abused, and run ragged by the sudden collection of NPC’s I had following me. I mean there was Bwemba the Troll spirit, then this Dwarf starts following me around. Why me? I mean have you ever had to deal with a drunken dwarf hitting on the ghost of a female troll? They don’t take rejection well, I’ll tell you that. It was ugly.
Then, THEN I get killed by the cute. I meet my future kitten.
Yes, YES I WILL 
Who can refuse a face like that!! Not me. That’s why I have a Menagerie!
I didn’t finish the chain. I got tired of having my fluffy Boomkin feathers handed to me in clumps. So I quit, and logged my hunter. My hunter who was Squeeing with joy when ALL her pets (The BIG pets not mini pets, different kind of collector she is.) jumped to Level 85. Even Cowbelle the Pink Tallstrider!! She got invited to run a couple normal dungeons. Awesome sauce, because she can’t do heroics yet. Her gear is on the just hit 85 end. One was I forget the name, but the second was Vortex Pinnacle and I was expecting a place like that horrible one in Northrend. But no, it was quite fun. And Pretty…
And I only died twice across two dungeons. Once because someone forgot to change it to normal (and may or may not have actually been healing the tank…). I’m not mentioning any names here. But hilarity ensued I can tell you THAT. And the second time because I missed the thingy I had to go stand in to not get murdered by lightning. My Bad. But Hey, I trapped! mostly successfully even! I had a trap vanish when I got out of range, but I did manage to get my pet on it until my cooldown came up and trap it after all. Really loving my hunter. I sure wish I loved my druid that much. She’s reduced to archaeology and pet collecting still.
Maybe I should try feral offspec. Oh wait, I have a rogue and she can pickpocket…
