Time for screenshot fun day.


mmm. So, yes I have been doing things. I even take screenshots now and again.

Months ago. Probably like back in December '08 a guy in a pug told me that my name, Yora, reminded him of Dora of the Explorer namesake. We don't have kids. We have cats. The only reason I know about this show is popular media and working in retail.

But damn it was a funny idea to have the title. Well I shared the joke with my friends and they have been nagging me ever since to get the title. I finally cracked down this month, did a lot of exploring, and got me a title.

What's funny is I finished at Land's End Beach completely on accident. I was finishing what I had left of Kalimdor zones by looking for little areas I seemed to be missing. I didn't even know this place existed. Well, there it is.

The turtles were making me hungry.

My good buddy Jigoku (a chick of many names) took me off to BT led by her rogue. She was good enough to let me sit in her bank guild for a few days (I mentioned that before...) anyway, BT was something I never got to see in the prime of BC because...well...our guild at the time were jerks.

That's it for the fun ones for now.

AFK: Too busy headbashing keyboard.

Who's a lazy blogger?

I AM.

Things weren't going great with my old guild. This is something that happens as core members leave, policies change, and cliques form. I added quite a few of them to my friends list when I left. I spent Memorial Day weekend in Jigoku's bank guild and then got invited to join as a candidate.

I like the way SS's recruitment systems runs. They start it off by having you fill out a sort of application, which based on that then they will do an interview with you. The interview is then conducted via IM so that the recruiter can copy and paste the interview for the guild to read...so they can all see what you're like and if they want to give you candidacy. Candidacy is like a nice little trial period. They give you a mentor and a thread to journal in. I like the journalling idea. It's a good way for both the guild and for the new member to get a good feeling of what the other is like.

So I got to run Ulduar with SS tonight, it was fun. I like the way they run the raid and I look forward to Sunday. Time to get researched up on those fights some more and get stocked up agian.
