batskeetsBAAAHAHAHAA! Sometimes, PA is so fantastic.
As something of an aside: I think I've been friended by some new people recently, so I thought I'd encourage any new viewers to poke your head up and say hi. My list is huge, so I don't always notice newcomers. :)
Anyway, weekend was low-key. My stomach has been upset for a week or so, which means that I ought to get to the store and get some fresh food, instead of eating all the junky drive-thru stuff I've had recently.
Friday was good--practice got moved back, an hour, and we got the carpeted space to practice on. I'm getting closer to the standing outside 360... it's more like a 345+ now. On the down side, I got a charlie horse in my calf as I was coming out of a butterfly, while I had a broadsword in hand, no less. Ouch. x_x
After practice, I had dinner with the posse on Friday night; much fun!! We were also talking about going to a movie, but it was too late by the time we finished dinner. That's okay, though; poor![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bookid is sick and definitely needs some R&R. (heavy on the Rest part of that)
Overall, not too bad. However, I *am* hoping to set up something fun for this coming weekend. The company Christmas dealie is on Friday night, but something else would be nice. I *really* need a break from WoW and house cleaning, as you'll soon find out:
As far as WoW is concerned, this was the WORST WEEKEND EVER.
I attempted to capitalize on the double-honor weekend in WSG, and I did end up with a lot of CP in not-very-much time. But, Alliance players are (still) idiots. And when they're not idiots, they are elitist assholes who won't invite you to the group raid because OMG I ARE COMMANDER and I can talk on WorldDefense SO 1337 kthxbye. :p
There are few experiences in life that cannot be vastly improved, or conversely, completely ruined by the behaviors of other people.
Anyway, to the main thrust of my complaining: I have been trying in vain to get a Barman Shanker, largely because A) my daggers suck, and B) we're trying to get the rest of the guild out of the low-to-mid 50s, so BRD is about all we're good for at the moment. We actually had a pretty productive BRD run, and actually completed some quests, so I can't complain.
But, of course, the friggin' Shanker didn't even drop. Insult to injury, the item that *did* drop was, like, an Effervescent Eyebrow Piercing of the WHALE, or something equally lame that will never sell on the Auction House because nobody in their right mind wants Stamina/Spirit gear. ::spit::
Note that this is the kind of luck I seem to have on instance runs. Which brings me to...
The Greatest Shaft of All Time. So, I got in on an UBRS run, to see if I could get some nice drops off of that. I really wasn't expecting much, especially after the last time, when the only loot I got was a Star Ruby. We were also doing Master Looter on all the big bosses, because there were a couple of greedy ninja types in the group, so I expected even less. But, imagine my surprise when we killed Drakkisath, and the Shadowcraft Tunic dropped!
I rolled first, with a 42, and thought I'd lose for sure. Then, the other rogue in the group rolled a 1! I am completely shocked that I actually *won* something that is not largely worthless, so I'm doing some celebrating in my chair, and cheering about it on Guild chat. Other people in the UBRS group are also saying things like, "Fizzywig wins with a 42!" so, clearly, it's legit.
But, no, this tale does not have a happy ending. I wait patiently for my loot, and after a few minutes, the Master Looter starts passing it out. Thing is, the Master Looter didn't see my roll, so he gave the Shadowcraft Tunic to the guy who rolled a 1. This is *the* single most difficult piece of the set to obtain, people. And he GAVE MY CHESTPIECE. Which is BIND ON PICKUP. To THE WRONG PERSON.
Cue a flurry of griping and yelling from me, snarky comments from the rest of the UBRS group who saw my roll, and a whole lot of apologizing from the ML and the guy who ended up with my friggin' chestpiece. In their defense, they seemed genuinely sorry, and it wasn't a case of ninja-looting, and the ML gave me the other blue item to try and make up for it. But, I only got about 1.5g for that blue item from the vendor, and it is NOT A SHADOWCRAFT CHESTPIECE.
Biggest. Letdown. EVER. :p
Oh yeah, and after that, I went on a 10-man LBRS run--note that this is an area that's reasonably easy to do with 5 people--and all I got was one lousy green item (more "of the Whale" gear, naturally), and a 2.5g repair bill. ::eyeroll::
In conclusion? The entirety of Blackrock Mountain can eat my ass.

Name 5 of life's simple pleasures that you like most, then pick 5 people to do the same. Try to be original and creative and not to use things that someone else has already used. Tag 5 people on your list.
1) The smell of coffee grounds while you're making a morning coffee.
2) Getting an honest-to-god personal letter in the mail/e-mail.
3) Waking up on a morning when you don't have to be anywhere, and realizing that you can go back to sleep for as long as you want.
4) Macaroni and Cheese. Be it blue-box or homemade, it's magical!
5) Making a friend laugh from the gut by laying down an incredibly dorky joke.
I'mma tag:craftyran, junsiew, mathnerd, simurgh, storm_dancer. Go, my minions!

Date: 2005-12-06 01:39 am (UTC)I call bull crap, cause as far as I know, ML sees everyones rolls now no matter how far away. At least that was my impression from what I've seen.
Also, if everyone else was saying you had won with a 42...
Yeah, I'm sorry. When my dreadmist dropped after so many ubrs runs, I was the only lock in the group, but a priest almost rolled on it that had her MC robes already. *shudders* People can be nasty.
