Yeah, it’s true. I’ve been putting off writing in my blog for a while now. Ever since the Blizzard incident, detailed below.
I guess it’s mainly due to the fact that I’ve had so much going on in the past couple of days. I went to Centre Parcs, Sof left for London, Will and I joined a new guild after the character transfer… Things move too quickly, you know what I mean?
It feels like yesterday that I was sat in school, thinking “I wonder what University is going to be like in 5 years” and other such things. Visions of me and completely random people attending house parties, getting drunk, eating beans from a can, living in a room about the size of a garden shed… None of it ever came true. And now that I look back on it, me, house parties and getting drunk don’t often come into the same sentence.
I always knew that me and Sof would end up going to different Uni’s and I never really thought about the impact it would have on our lives. It was always “in the future” and we could always worry about it “closer to the date”… Well that date came and went and now she’s in London, 250 miles south east of Wales. It’s been four days and I miss her to bits. Thank god for telephones. It’s the only way we’ve been able to keep in touch at the moment, since her Halls aren’t allowing internet access until the course starts. Which is a pain in the arse to be honest.
It serves as a massive reminder that you can’t just push things to the back of your mind forever. The inevitable will eventually happen.
For five years, my life has basically revolved around Sofie, the centre of my universe. It’s such a massive culture shock to not see her everyday. I find it quite difficult to talk about my thoughts and feelings, and Sof knows this, so I tend not to most of the time. And I guess the only way I know how to cope with it is to immerse myself in alternate realities.
That brings me onto my next topic and a lighter note. As I said I’ve been coping by doing something I’ve not exactly been able to do while being with Sof everyday - raiding with a new guild in World Of Warcraft.
Will and I both signed up for a paid character transfer from Dragonblight to Eonar. Upon arriving in the new realm we both applied to The Titans, a highly organised and extremely efficient guild. The day before we joined they defeated Onyxia with 23 men. To put that into perspective for some of you, most guild have trouble defeating her with 40 men.
To say the least, The Titans are phenomenal. Their efficiency is incredible. And the guild’s atmosphere is fantastic too. Everyone is a great laugh and really friendly.
Since joining them I have already won some Lawbringer Spaulders, even though I am still in the 2 week initiate period - that meaning I’m not allowed to bid on items, or have any priority on items until the period is over and they decide whether they want to keep me or not. The way the Guild Master has been hinting, it looks as though both Will and I will be staying in the Titans. The GM and the Paladin’s class officer both agreed on how impressed they were with my performance in Black Wing Lair and Onyxia - considering it was the first time I’d ever been there.
Sunday we pwned Onyxia with 30 men, and then went on and double pwned Ragnaros.
Yesterday, we attempted Black Wing Lair for the first time and downed Razorgore The Untamed with 38 men. 
It took 3 attempts to kill him, but for a first attempt at the whole instance, 38 men is pretty damn good in my opinion. We then moved on to Vaelstrasz The Corrupt. The thing about this fight is that Vael’s health bar deceives you. He’s missing 70% of his health when the battle starts - but thats the fooling thing - he has over 1,000,000 HP in that remaining 30%.
The first attempt at Vael ended in a 3 second wipe. Thats right. 3 seconds. We were completely unprepared. But the subsequent attempts saw much better results. We got him down to 15% at one point (which in reality is 50%), again with only 38 men, when it’s meant to be done with 40. Bloody good show chaps!
Then tonight we cleared Zul Gurub - and guess what? I won nothing. Surprised? I’m not. I have about as much luck as a fish in a fish bowl. I’m also crap at making analogies.
Tomorrow we’re going to kill Onyxia again, and go back into Black Wing Lair. The instances will reset during tonights maintenance so we’ll have to kill Razorgore again.
I miss Sof…
