Bye, bye Mr. Hello Ms.!

Well it has been too long since I last posted and pretty much everything has changed since then:

1. No longer a male toon or known as Aleks. The effort to conceal my sexiness failed and I exploded with hawtness, and then Mandonna was born. *points at sexy banner above*

2. Double Deez( named after my new found knockers) has started raiding, which has absolutely been a blast.

Those 2 things alone completely changed the game for me, I know there has to be more little changes in there somewhere, but I can't exactly think of specifics. I am just looking forward to the weeks to come and all the new stuff we have yet to experience. I'll be posting shortly on my impressions of Naxx now that I've been in there a couple times and seen a bit of the content.

First Time In Naxx

Heroes went into Naxx last night and I was glad to be able to to tag along as Fury. I'd hadn't tried it out the spec before (I defnitely need to work on my dps set) and it was pretty fun. In any case we downed the first boss in the wing with the slime walk of doom, and the spider wing. I'm not sure what the wings name was but I do know I hate the slime walk of death with a passion. All those little harmless looking goopies just sliding side to side, and then BOOOM! You touch one, you dead. Apparently I was the only one stupid enough to die, but at least I set an example of what not to do :). The first boss was Patchwork and we killed him no prob, but damn does he have a lot of health! The second boss we tried was the creepy dude with the needle and after a couple attempts we decided to move onto another wing. The Spider wing was really awesome, definitely fun and not too hard really. I got some nice dps bracers in the process so that will really help my dps set. All in all it was a great first raid for me, besides my dps lol.

Sadness

Well today sucks. I found out that one of my really good friends is leaving Heroes Inc. I dunno, what else to say but, "this really sucks". She was one of the people i could really talk to and now I feel more out of the loop then ever, which is partially just me being disappointed that shes leaving. She will still be playing though, which is great so all hope is not lost!

On another note:

Last night I did my first heroic, was fun. Utgarde wasn't bad at all, although it made me realize that gearing up a second time will be just a frustrating as the first. After our success in Utgarde we decided to reform later on to tackle something else. We tried Gun'drak...and failed. The first boss completely fucked our group over, and at about 50% every time the snake man killed everyone . I can't help but blame my gear and if only i had some more 80 lvl pieces we would have been better off.

Wintergrasp is really fun, I enjoy the catapult vehicle the most hehe. Its tiny, fast and long range. I've almost maxed out Blacksmithing, and made my new shield. Now only 3 more frozen orbs till my new 1 hander! I have to say I'm pretty disappointed in Blacksmithing, the only things i need are the one hander and maybe the helmet. Otherwise my ZA gear still tops the charts stats wise. I'm honestly not sure what I should do, sacrifice my current gear for the new def rating stuff-stats aren't great on most of the def pieces. Anyways I'm rambling now, more to come later.

Last minute goals.

Well Wrath of the Lich King is only a couple more days away! I'm terribly excited, so much so it's affecting my real life lol. My friends think I'm obsessed, but who cares really? I will be treading through a traitorous new wilderness full of obstacles of great power and knowledge! My friends will be sitting at home doing no such thing. Therefore I win. :)


Goals-Last minute, it makes it better if I make a list...lol

1. Get as much gold as possible before Thursday. 4.6k left.
2. Finish leveling Fishing to 375 before Thursday.
3. Get more then 10 quests completed before Thursday.
4.Grind honor.


Woot I cannot wait to get my hands on WotLK. I've decided I'm going to be starting off in the Borean Tundra and move to the Howling Fjords then after that its any ones choice really. I know some people are hating the fact that we have to go back to leveling, but I absolutely cannot wait to have something other than dailys and BGs to do! Wooooot Nothrend here I come!

WotLK on the horizon.

With the patch closing in on everyone in less then 5 days, it beginning to make our blood boil with anticipation! I cannot wait to get a new freakin' haircut! Aleks will no longer have to hide his face behind a large piece of metal! Think of it as a remake to the classic The Man in the Iron Mask, except much more interesting :). Oh ya I almost forgot, the new talents! Now this is a big one, everyone talents are being refunded to implement the changes to the classes and talent trees. I'm a very excited about the Protection Tree, it looks polished enough and at 80 I hope it will really shine its brightest. And thank you Blizzard for actually moving Imp. Thunder clap to the protection tree haha, bought freakin' time! Im really hoping Heroes gets to venture into ZA to test out everyones abilities. It will definitely be a night of ," Whoa! WTF was that?" followed by many "lol's".

As I mentioned this patch pretty much marks a month before WotLK hits the stores, so thats only one more month I have to reach my precious gold goal for the new Traveler's Tundra Mammoth. I'm currently half way there, so I figure one more month of hardcore dailys should get me a decent amount. And then I have to worry about leveling 10 levels which will also yield precious moneyz, so all in all i think I'll have my new mammoth mount by Christmas! Mwahahah!

High Tide, High Tempers and the road to recovery.

Well this is purely a RL rant. From watching the news almost constantly it is profoundly clear that the after this Hurricane tempers are starting to flare. My prediction for the next week is utter chaos... literally.

Residents of the Island are not being allowed to enter their homes, obviously the city is unlivable-no water, sewage system, or electricity. So unless you have a lot of bottled water, don't have problems shitting in bag, and lots of candles then this doesn't apply to you. Anyways the city officials admit they made a mistake in allowing some people to view their homes yesterday with hardly any restriction.

Yesterday: The day starts off with the announcement that only emergency personal would be allowed on the island, then at 12 a 'look and leave' policy was accepted and a FLOOD of people from all over the South East TX area rushed to the island to see their homes. Effectively clogging up the only means of entry on the island, the causeway. So this line lasted well into the night and people were turned away eventually and told to come back at 6 am. Well... this is where the city majorly screwed itself. Stick to your plan and don't be flakey. Either tell people they can come or can't. Its that simple. Don't tell people to come and check on their homes and then cancel that decision halfway through. Much less tell them to come back the next morning when you decide to not allow people on the island indefinitely. This undoubtedly angered an already frustrated group of thousands.

However, during a disaster of this magnitude no one can expect the city, county, state, or federal government to automatically poop out a solution of perfection. Frankly I believe they are doing all they can do, but the line of communication is definitely broken. People all over the news are saying one thing, then its canceled by another official and hour later. So I blame the media!

Today: Tempers are running on an all time high. The seemingly organized, and hopeful county press conferences have turned into a yelling match fueled by heated debates over the policies of the city and the way they are dealing with the problem of allowing citizens to return. I was shocked and disappointed to see how low people can sink. Arguing whose right and whose wrong doesn't matter at all and gets us no where. After all the Hurricane wasn't the city's fault and a lot of people are searching for someone to blame for their losses. Who better then the 'officials' who are now dictating the place where they used to call home?

I feel VERY uneasy about the future week or so. If this continues in it's current direction I can picture a flood of angered, irrational Galvestonians pushing their way through the police barricades and flooding the city turning it into a pit of utter chaos. Honestly i doubt that would happen, but they way people are acting I wouldn't be that surprised. What I am worried about is lodging. When questioned, city officials say FEMA will pay for every ones hotel for a month for the people of Galveston, since no one is allowed to their homes. However, once you go to the FEMA website and look at the list of hotels for TX, most DO NOT allow pets and are ALL booked. Out of the places I called, i didn't speak to one real person. The repetitive message I kept hearing was, "All rooms are occupied by rescue officials, indefinitely."

Sooooooooooooo where exactly are people without a home supposed to go if a shelter is not an option(most are already full). Especially all those people who left their hotels to see their homes, spent hours in line, and were turned away without any consideration? It just seems like so many people are falling through the cracks.

I realize that everyone who is working on picking up the pieces is probably doing their best. However, you can't evacuate 57, 000 people, tell them that they can come home to assess damages, turn them away and expect them to all find a place to stay. Like I said earlier, communication is the biggest problem and if everything was clearly defined there would be less of a problem in my eyes. At least people would know what was going on. Although I don't think any one person knows the whole story...

Granted this is only the problem with Galveston, where I live. I'm not even sure I can process the other problems that are running rampant at the moment in Houston, and surrounding areas. Currently 1.5 million people are still without power, however water is returning to places in Houston. I think...

A fresh start... well kinda.

Lol...ya soo I'm dumb.

Aleks will just have to keep his helmet on until the Barbershops open up. And then!!!! Oh my !!! The beauty will be released unto the world !!!!!

The re-roll would have been great, but shitty without everyone in Heroes. Time to get back to dailys and save up for my pimp'n new haircut. I'll be first in line bitches!!!!!!!
