I R Riter. I R Profesnal Heelr.

We can cross this off our list:

He’s still got some gearing to do.  I ran a couple dungeons this morning.  One went just fine.  The second landed me with a pair who thought their raid finder gear meant that they could pull entire hallways, let aggro go everywhere and then yell at me for going OOM trying to keep everyone up.  When I said something about having to spam my largest, most expensive heals to try and keep everyone alive, the genius gave me the following advice:

“Lawl, don’t roll a healer then.”

This might be just me but new healers don’t ding 85 and instantly become geared in DS heroic epic gear.  We have to work for it, same as everyone else.  (And had I gone with my elemental dps offspec, I can bet they would have been yelling about my poor dps… Mind you, he would have been right, because I use it for questing between dungeons, and haven’t actually focused on figuring out what the rotation is supposed to be.)

This isn’t my first rodeo, kiddo.  This is healer #4 who has spent a good 85-90% (figure may have been made up, but it’s still a lot) of his leveling time in dungeons.  I think I know what I’m doing.

It goes without saying that, in my fantastic blues and greens, not everyone stayed up.  This was a normal dungeon by the way, not even a heroic – even though Ertek’s ilvl says he can hit heroics.  I generally avoid them until I can hit the HoT dungeons.

So the two numbnuts dropped after I refused to drop (they could have kicked me, but apparently they tried and it didn’t work, or they were just really that dumb – there was no way I should have had a timer since the last time I got kicked was several months ago, after refusing to drop and take a debuff to appease the ego of a tank who couldn’t hold aggro… hmmmm).  We got a new tank and his guildie and – surprise!  Even though the tank was in starter gear, he was a much better tank than the previous.  The rest of the run went smoothly for the most part.  One over pull that would have been fine had I been on any other healing toon.  But the tank had just barely there gear.  I had just barely there gear.  You can guess what happened.  It was a DPS who pulled, then apologized.  And because things like that happen, nobody screamed or yelled and the dungeon was done ten minutes later.  No sweat.

Patience: It’s a good idea.

But anyway, I now have every class that can heal at level 85.  I R Professional Heelr!  In MoP, that means I’ll only have to worry about leveling a Mistweaver.  Yay!  The ‘looms are in the bank and waiting!

Anyway, moving on…

Every once in a blue moon (by the way, there’s a blue moon happening this month – neat huh?) I’ll sit back and take inventory.  I like to pretend I’m a writer in a caped crusader sort of way.  I have my computer set up in the cat-cave where I pen mighty – nay, legendary – epics.

…Yeah, that’ll work.

I really like character building and while I’m getting better at this plot thing (my muse is plot – what plot wants, plot gets), I’m still pretty good at creating the victims to toss into the hungry maw of the plot monster.  Sometimes it’s for RP purposes and sometimes it’s for this story thing because if I call it a novel I have to take it seriously and I just can’t take anything I do seriously.

(I should really be working on that story thing now but oh no, here I am waxing poetic about… stuff.)

So I thought I’d give my brain a little exercise and see if I couldn’t go through the list of toons and characters that inhabit my brainmeat.  The challenge?  You have two sentences, describe the characters.

I can’t help it. I love this freaking thing.

*cough*

Anyway.

Name: Kalil Sunsong: Blood Elf Paladin Source: World of Warcraft Description: Recovering alcoholic, recovering thistle-head, healer, and life’s punching bag. He’s been fucked over from day one.

Name: Esrah Tolaran: Blood Elf Priest Source: World of Warcraft Description: Lecherous holy priest with an ego the size of Northrend. Also a devoted and loyal lover, father, and extreme kinemortophobic.

Name: Zachary “Zeikren” Bartholomew, Illuminati Agent Source: The Secret World Description: Recovering addict (substance is classified) who suffers from minor delusions of grandeur with an unsubstantiated belief in his own immortality.  Also father to a three year old boy who is in the custody of his sister due to Zeikren’s, ah, issues.  His wife is currently missing and presumed dead (no, he didn’t have anything to do with that, but it might have set off a chain reaction that led to his current situation).

Okay so technically that’s three sentences. Sue me.  Moving on…

Name: Ixtael (last name unknown): Blood Elf rogue Source: World of Warcraft Description: Reformed thief and street-rat with a bit of a memory problem… in that he has no memory.  Also probably not an assassin, but that may be just a cover.

Trying to find good smallish pictures of my other toons (the ones I actively RP) is turning out to be a lesson in futility, so we’ll leave it there for now.  Also: I’m lazy.

Lastly I had a friend geek out at me over facebook.  I immediately logged in and went looking for what she was geeking out over because I was geeking out over it too and had to see it for myself omg.  If you can tell me what the following screenshots mean, you win the imaginary cookie award (you also love the 80s):

Outrageous!
