I'm back!!!

Not posted in ages although I promised I would :(

Sorry but IRL happens sometimes and I forget about things like this :-S

Well, since my last post loads has happened, but I cant tell you of it all, cause this post would be miles long....

This last week though, we made progress as a guild :D

Bare managed to do a weeks worth of raiding as 25men in Ulduar!

Had roughly 30 people online or contact-able for both our tries, which is an achievement in itself!

Yes a lot of these people are severely under-geared, and under-experienced but the desire to raid and progress was lovely!

On Wednesday we did our first try, killed FL, Razor and XT after many wipes!

But still, we got there in the end and had a few tries on Kologarn, but peoples got sleepy (damn those time differences) so we called it for the night.

We did have a half hearted attempt on Sunday, but the healers were slacking and dc'ing so we gave up after maybe 3 wipes!

Last night (Tuesday) we carried on though, Kologarn finally went down as we had some luck of not too many healers getting wiped by stray eye beams or being picked up.

Auraya went down once we had sorted out the pull (no shoulders for me /cry) and was a comparatively easy fight!

On to Hodir... We wiped on trash several times lol!!!

Several peoples tend to not give it their all on trash, so mistakes happen and we wipe....

Hodir was a mess, we couldnt break out the npc's fast enough or people died consistently from freezes. For our last try (end of raiding time as people wanted to sleep) Zeo and me swapped places, he went disc and i went ele. This was a good idea as the dpriest can mass dispell all the frozen stuff and heal, whereas my poor shammy can only heal stuff!

Several people didnt like this which is why we left it till our very last try, as they either doubted my ability to dps, or were scared Zeo wouldnt be able to heal as much as me. But I made them let us try this, and for once I was right!!!!

Hodir went down! Only two people were left alive right at the end (I died 10secs before Hodir did) and I topped the DPS charts xD this was only because I stood in every buff I could and was pew pewing as frantically as I could, just to prove the doubters wrong!

Everyone just got it right that fight and I was so proud of Bare!

Im just hoping that my suggestions will maybe provide me with some more respect in the guild now.

Yeah, im still not getting a chance to show what I can do, I offer to lead raids, set up raids, help on recruitment, boost everyone, farm for people and help people out, yet I am still doubted in raids and my suggestions are never usually listened too :(

"prove you are not just simply a girl who've gotten where she is because of horny nerds.. Prove you got what it takes to be Hardcore and Skilled but let never your success get to your head, you can always get better and learn more."

This is mine and another female gamer's motto for wow, well she came up with it, I have always followed it though :P

Hopefully if I keep working on it, people will start to treat me as an equal in this guild soon.

Also in wow, I now have 81/100 mounts!!! So close (well kinda) and im working on getting my mechano-hog at the moment :S this is proving VERY expensive lol, but I want it, so ill get it one day :P

Patch day today, new shiny things to explore!

4 totems at once for shamans and +7% hp is going to help us alot!

New raids, tier (Didnt complete 8 or 8.5 yet lol) and stuff!

Im rather sad that everyone will be able to get t8.5 but I cant change how Blizzard thinks. I worked very hard to be collecting all my conquest badges, and the 2 sets of gear I have, and now every nubby shaman will have the same, if not better, gear than me :(

But I will wait and see....

IRL I haven't really been very well, but i'm slowly getting there and am looking towards my career now. I am going to be going and teaching abroad I think :S Going to be so scary, but amazing if this does work out for me! I just have to decide where to go and what languages to learn now, but I have a year to decide as I re-take my final bits of my degree in May 2010.

I had a laugh at the job center this week, they tried to get me to apply for a job as an 'Adult TV Presenter' ROFL!!!! 'Required to work semi-nude, and will be using explicit language so is not a job for the self-conscious or easily embarrassed' I mean WTF?!?!?! They think I would be interested in this kind of work?? Grrr sometimes having loads of self-confidence isnt such a good thing if people think I would be up for something like this!

Okies, i'm off for now, I wont promise that I will update this all the time, but we will see, Ill try and record the new instances and stuff to make it look better here again too!

So to anyone who still reads this, peace out! :P xxxx
