I'm typically a man of few words, but I've proven to be quite the contrary in my blog. I guess my fingers excel at where my lips fail to speak.
Chronicles of the Phailboat

It's been quite a while since I've sat down and blogged about anything significant in WoW... I've been a little busy with my irl gf (who, appropriately enough, was discovered thru our mutual addiction to MMORPGs), and lots of guildhopping (mostly to avoid drama).
So, I've left the guild I built (Doja Dojo) once again, and this time I managed to bring the whole house down. The drama that ensues when online couples become IRL couples astounds me. The static it caused effectively dissolved my guild. People's feelings got hurt, and many of them left to make their own guilds, join existing guilds, or simply stop playing.
"Butthurt" would define the majority of the males in my ex-guild. 'nuff said.
So, now that WLK is out and people have begun leveling, raiding, pvping, and achievement-whoring (don't get me started on those damn Bag of Candies), I've tried to catch up on all the new and wonderful things to do.
My current guild, <Eradication> is one of the better guilds on the server. In fact, when Blizz was offering free server xfers to Scilla, the top 3 Alliance guilds left, which I think made us #1 (or at least top 5) on server by default. Not a stellar accomplishment (and quite frankly kinda lame it happened that way), but we hold our heads high and show our epeens proudly. We actually have a pretty tight crew, and when my comp isn't lagging bad enough to wipe us on Thaddius, we have fairly consistent attendence and progress. We can full-clear Naxx25 in 4 hours with minimal problems. We've been joking about "going for Immortal", but we're still a ways from accomplishing that.
I'll be around a little more now that I've decided to re-employ my career directive in the hospitality industry. Working 3rds sucks, but it certainly does open up interesting enues to explore the meta-theorycrating side of WoW I've missed since I left the cozy desk-job at the hospital 6 months ago.
In short... I'm baaaackkk!!!
