convalescence

Reading my last update, I realized that I wasn't in a very good mood. Just in the past few days I've started to feel a lot better. I'm still sad, but not nearly as depressed. I've already come to this realization once before, but I think I just don't like feeling like I'm alone. I know I have my friends and my family, but there is a certain satisfaction in feeling like there is somebody devoted to you. I'm sure all of you can understand that.

I've fallen back into playing wow, and I got my rogue to level 42. I was level 40 for a month, then I gained 2 levels in 2 days. Lots of thanks to Nick and Max for helping me out with like, eight quests or something like that. I started a hunter to try and prove that they don't suck, and now I don't think they suck, I just think they're kind of boring to play. I don't like standing back and attacking from a distance, I like being right up there in the fight. Hunter's a really good solo class though, they have lots of attacks to keep the enemy from keeping up with them and hitting them (traps, concussive shot, wing clip), and they have some insurance with the pet... if the fight gets too hairy, just let the pet tank and die while you get a good running start. That along with feign death, I can see it being pretty hard for a hunter to actually die while fighting monsters. All of that aside, though, I just don't like standing back and autofiring all the time. JP and Nick need to get their new guys to 23ish so I can start playing my warrior, or maybe my warlock, with them.

I've been getting back into music; listening to it, and playing it. I've been listening to a lot of stuff from bands that I like, that I didn't even know came out. Did you know Amorphis came out with a new album? Did you know that Sigh came out with a new album in 2005? Do you even know who I'm talking about? Anyway, so much stuff has been flying under my radar, I almost feel ashamed for not keeping up with the music I like. I would like to point out the BNR Metal Pages for anybody that likes metal, it's is an awesome website that has overviews on almost every worthwhile metal band out there, and has lots of cross-references between bands (i.e. other bands the members of a certain band might have been in). I've been aware of this site for a while and it's helped me find a lot of good metal bands and also reminded me of lots of bands that I've forgotten about. I'm pretty sure Erik is the only one reading this who actually listens to metal, but the rest of you will come around eventually. You'll see.
