Text of the page (random words):
ay for me personally i knew that this spurred by really looking at where i am in my life where i want to be in 5 years and what changes i may need to make today to get to where i need to be i think it had become the case where my schedule started with wow and my ingame commitments then i was trying to plan my real life around that when in actually it should be the other way around there have been a number of things i ve wanted to get involved in during our raid nights that i just haven t been able to plus all of this happening around the new year the time of new year resolutions is not a complete coincidence but then i had that horrible pit in my stomach about how to tell the kids guildies as the mom of the guild i felt feel this incredible obligation and honestly guilt and i guess in a way this pressure this pressure where you feel responsible for the ingame enjoyment of others is part of what i wanted to get away from but in another sense i think i enjoyed being depended on if that makes any sense in the email to the guild we noted we ve been exceptionally lucky to have such a healthy and rewarding social dynamic that has been tlc for nearly six years now and it s as wonderful now as it has ever been we shouldn t need to tell you that the friendships we ve established here transcend the game and this decision is only a discontinuation of our role in the guild not our friendships while this is 100 true and while i still plan on being the ring leader to plan another clawcon this summer its still hard because the game is the vehicle by which we ve hung out together for so long it s not easy and three weeks later i still get choked up thinking about it after we sent the email out i spent another week or so in a panic reaching out to individual folks in and out of game trying to make sure they understood why how this happened as i noted to jess even at the end i m still the mom trying to personalize things and make sure everyone is ok to this jess noted that this was why he needed to quit when i did he doesn t make a very good mommy for our last scheduled raid night in true mommy planning fashion i did plan a number of amusing little activities for us first i called everyone to dalaran and had us congregate at the sewer exit pipe from there we played some guild darts where we would hurl ourselves to our deaths off the exit pipe to some determined target for round one i made jess go first then see whose dead body would land closest to his i figured that was appropriate given we ve been following our gm to our deaths for years now after that we did a bit of guild dodgeball using those leather balls you can throw to each other i found a place in darkshore that was small enough but had some pillars and line of sight issues we were separated into two teams and i had prepared different colored shirts the two teams started with 15 balls each it was clear my team lost when at the end my teammate nikolai announced he had 24 balls in my inventory apparently he just likes collecting balls and not throwing them back out from there we went down to gurubashi arena for some pvp action though honestly it ended up being target k first and kill her first kinda thing boo boo in one iteration of it i tried to separate us into more than just two teams but then ended up making one team with three hunters on it ooops i think the pvp action got our blood flowing because then we decided to visit each of the horde cities we figured we d go for that achieve where you have to kill 5 players in each major city silvermoon and thunderbluff were pretty empty as expected i did have to applaud the poor little level 20s who would flag against a group of 7 or 8 level 90s that included two healers undercity was a bit more fun we ended up find a good little cubby from which we coordinated our attacks back to the cubby was our rallying call our final visit to good old org was a bit more eventful there were some more deaths from our side but we got a good number of horde too and everyone got their achieves all in all it was a great time in typical left claw fashion lots of laughter sexual innuendo and swearing about six years ago when i started this game i never could have guessed that the game would provide not only entertainment but incredible friendships an awareness of how i act in leadership situations and in a way a view into an aspect of my true self before becoming the mom of the left claw i had always thought of myself as a bit more stoic or emotionally reserved i m not sure that i really realized how much of a true nurturer i really am for all of this i am so incredibly grateful now it s only been a couple of weeks since we stopped raiding so i m still trying to figure out and find what my new routine and schedule looks like i m not sure what my wow play time will look like though i d like to think that i ll still play casually whether that is to pvp or collect pets or whatever we ll see finally this blog i don t know whether this blog made me enjoy the game more or whether the game made me blog more perhaps a bit of both having had the opportunity to blog here has taught me that i really do enjoy writing it s been a great 5 years here and its really hard for me to admit that this is the last post however it s time if i m playing less and less i m just going to have less to blog about here thanks to everyone who has kept up with the blog it s been a great ride and i ve greatly enjoyed being a part of the blog community thanks to my left claw guildies past and present for not only great friendships but teaching me so much about myself thanks to jess you know what you ve done and so this incredible chapter sadly but inevitably ends this blog been a blast guys and i only have fond memories much love k p s if you re interested at all in keeping up with my random ramblings there is a pretty strong chance that i will resurrect an old personal blog who knows perhaps any random future wow posts i want to make may end up there follow me at carolina blue dreams read more posted by keredria at 11 02 am 15 comments thursday december 13 2012 u of c indiana jones mystery a short completely unrelated to wow post today one of my three alma maters happens to be the university of chicago turns out the undergraduate admissions office there received an incredible package earlier this week quoted from their blog post yesterday we received a package addressed to henry walton jones jr we sort of shrugged it off and put it in our bin of mail for student workers to sort and deliver to the right faculty member we get the wrong mail a lot little did we know what we were looking at when our student mail worker snapped out of his finals tired haze and realized who dr jones was we were sort of in luck this package wasn t meant for a random professor in the stat department it is addressed to indiana jones as a huge indiana jones fan and u of c alum i find this so incredibly fascinating another article referring to this and a couple more pics read more posted by keredria at 2 02 pm 1 comments wednesday december 12 2012 korean npcs my blogging activity is highly correlated with not traveling and working out of my office hence another blog post today so i was tooling around halfhill a while back when i ran across this npc kim won gi this korean panda immediately caught my eye i was like wait he s not chinese he s korean insert korean equivalent of zomg quick side class on korean names i think most folks know that kim is a korean last name actually the most common korean last name but did you know that there are nearly 300 clans of kims i m actually a kim twice over in that my mother s maiden name is kim as well it used to be that kims within the same clan could not marry though i don t think they follow that anymore i m a gimhae kim on one side and i forget what i am on the other side i ve often said that if someone held a gun to my head and said that i had to get a tattoo because this is such a likely scenario that i ve actually thought through it would be of the hanja chinese character for kim which is 金 anyways apparently this npc kim won gi was named a retired korean starcraft player named kim won ki his ingame name is fruitdealer hence the wow npc s tagline with the fruit dealer he said his fruitdealer name came from the fact that his mother used to be a fruit vendor also the red and white shirt the npc is wearing is similar to one of his professional team s shirts aren t they just so clever that blizzard now it looks like there is a second npc named after a korean in the korean version of wow an npc named eun choding has been named after the singer eun ji won there is no eun choding in our non korean wow world but added in patch 5 1 is little jiwon on a completely unrelated matter i often minimize and maximize my wow screen to fuss around on other things on my laptop whether that be vent or to lookup stuff online this control m used to be a very quick min max feature but recently the game takes to completely reloading each time it s really annoying and i d like to go back to how it was before anyone understand what i m talking about is there something i can change in my settings or is this just the way it is now edit i found a post referring to this on the forums its only a mac issue and yes they are aware of it switching display modes may cause the ui to reload read more posted by keredria at 9 17 am 3 comments monday december 10 2012 the prodigal son brother dad returns now there i was going about my business during one of our raids most likely being mercilessly made fun of by the rest of my raid when i get a whisper that made me go omfg as soon as i saw the toon s name i knew immediately who it was it was adamas now i ve blogged before about our history with adamas the guy who brought me into the left claw and introduced me to jess and i think i ve also mentioned that adamas is the first guy i ever even whispered grouped with in this game he asked if i wanted help on a group quest in darkshore back in february of 2007 then not long after that he invited me into the guild and as they say the rest is history so adamas casually leveling a toon again after about three years away craziness it was awesome seeing his toon officially join the left claw again it s kind of like the prodigal son brother dad returns son because all of the guildies are jess and i s kids brother because adamas grew up in this guild with jess and i and dad because he really brought us in the guild i was sharing our history with adamas with the guild that adamas is the one who brought jess and i into the guild and introduced us to each other i think sam s reaction was so he brought you guys into the guild then you guys hijacked it and took it over well after 5 years something like that adamas shared with me that the only reason he came back was because he knew jess and i were still around awwww pretty awesome that someone who left the game 3 years ago still felt a strong enough connection to two people he played a video game with for a couple years i do wonder how things are from his end in the guild so far i mean here is a guy who really was part of initially building this guild and now the only people he knows are jess and i the rest of our guildies have known each other and raided together for a while now so guild chat does have a very specific family flavor but i m sure with time he ll fit in just like our newest guildie chase our fifth grade healer private guild joke here has in other news earlier today jess and i were having a google chat conversation where we were trying to compare current raiding to when cataclysm first came out here was the ensuing conversation k yeah so it was bwd and geez what was the name of that other place our first raids when cata came out jess yeah those two and the air one twilight something twilight citadel no sigh k wait twilight citadel mmmm jess haha k seems right but seems wrong at the same time jess something of twilight bastion of twilight k oh hmmm i think that s right jess heh given we can t remember these kind of things why exactly are we in charge my thoughts exactly read more posted by keredria at 2 09 pm 6 comments labels left claw thursday december 6 2012 left claw raiding update we ve been raiding for a couple weeks now between vaults and hof our first official kill was in vaults though i forgot to take screenshots though i guess i could do a screenshot reenaction anyways here is the first actual boss kill screenshot i ve taken of this expansion last week s kill of that first boss in heart of fear it was kind of strange how while i was semi horrible at the tornadoes with alysrazor in firelands i rocked the attenuation on this boss i was trying to describe how to successfully dodge them and i think i used phrases like concentric circles and discs that spiral out from the middle i don t think anyone understood what i was trying to say but i was convinced i was making perfect sense though hell the attenuation wasn t as bad as the mind control in phase 2 with two priests in our raid we were pretty concerned about the priests fear damn priests we asked them to keep fear on cooldown so it wouldn t be up if they got mind controlled i think this was especially critical on phase 3 anyways have you guys gotten the two new pets in darkmoon faire i was there early this week and came across the darkmoon rabbit in the cave i have yet to kill this rabbit and thus have no idea what its abilities are i was curious whether we really needed a full raid to take it down once some guildies shared some of the rabbit s abilities with me here was the ensuing guild conversation k oh how can something so cute be so mean nikolai we wonder the same thing about you jessika had the same thought k thanks for all the love guys thanks for all the love read more posted by keredria at 1 35 pm

neighborhood and so ends november a crazy month where i believe i slept something like 8 nights in my own bed here in seattle i haven t kept up with my blog reading this month but just from looking at the bold blogs in google reader wow folder it seems that the blogsophere has been a bit quiet as well i wonder if that is due to the holidays or whether the blogs i follow most of which i ve followed for 3 years are in a phase where they are moving away from either the game or their blog i said this years ago and i ll say it again i think twitter has significantly affected blogging it s an alternate outlet where you can easily put out immediate brain dumps without feeling the need to substantiate it into perhaps a full post i can see how it has affected blog output in the past couple years and i seriously wonder whether there will be any blogs left in another couple years overall though why the decrease in bl...
