I don’t want my charred bones to litter the floor
I’m just not sure sometimes what I’m doing with myself. I feel like I’ve been in the same spot for years, and physically I have been. Some of the surroundings change but the things I don’t like about myself still surface at just the wrong times and despite my wanting to be out there and, just, past this, I’m not.
It’s getting to the point that I’m sick of thinking about school, I just want to go out there and get a normal job and pay my bills and play wow and talk to my cats like every other anti-social crazy person out there. Why isn’t that good enough?
I kind of wish I didn’t have this thing, only bad things will come of me writing things down. Run away, little girl… run away. /evil laughter
on making my own cheese and remembering to breathe
I’m having a mid-life crisis of sorts in that I finally decided I want to change my major to something more interesting (Accounting vs. Cognitive Science) and so I went on the website for my school and looked into it only to find they no longer offer it. The one near where Sam lives does but I have no means of moving there at the present time. I suppose I can try to transfer to that one and take online classes somehow until I can move, or take classes here that would translate into that major once I do transfer. More and more, though, I’m leaning towards buying a cabin in the woods and growing my own food as if the rest of the world doesn’t exist. But even that’s out of reach because I’d have to learn how to make my own cheese and I’m far too unmotivated for things like that. Plus, no internet? No thanks.
Damn the man. It’s definitely time for some classical music or some sort of TV show on DVD and some more food. I need to re-learn how to relax. All raiding and no relaxation makes Puff a dull girl.
In other news: 
Legendary vs. Staff
Because I’m completely obsessed, I sat down and looked through the Ulduar loot tables on mmochampion.com earlier and wrote down the stats of possible future weapons upgrades for me. There are a couple of maces that have sp upgrades, but in some cases I’d lose on the other stats, and at most I’d gain ~30 sp. The Legendary mace would give a slightly larger upgrade, but because of the demand for that (and for the other maces, really), if I’m going to stay with a mace, I’ll just keep the one I have. Took me long enough to get it, anyway.
With my current weapon + offhand (Torch of Holy Fire + Matriarch’s Spawn) I get the following stats:
+649 SP
+90 Int
+43 Spirit
+80 Haste
+15 mp/5
If I kept my current mace (which I will, because the others are minor upgrades) and upgrade my offhand to the Ironmender, my stats would be:
+657 Sp
+96 Int
+45 Spirit
+84 Haste
+15 mp/5
Again, a minor upgrade so I’d probably pass on that as well because it’s likely to be a bigger upgrade to someone else.
Normally, mace + offhand is more desirable and has a total higher spellpower than if you were to go with a staff, and that’s still mostly true. But Hodir (I think) in 25 man drops the Staff of Endless Winter. If I got my hands on that and put the +81 sp to Staff enchant on it, my stats from my weapon slot would look like:
+704 SP (or 715 depending on how I gemmed it)
+128 Int
+102 spirit (or 84, depending on how I gemmed it)
+104 Crit
+111 Stam

So yeah, if I can muster up the willpower, I’ll be holding out for that.
“I resemble that remark”
I don’t understand that phrase. I understand what the person is trying to do, but it doesn’t really make sense. They can’t physically resemble anything that was said unless the person talking was describing how they actually look. But even then, when people say that I imagine them looking like words which is physically impossible for most people. The only scenario I can see that phrase not at least mildly annoying me would be:
Me: <some witty remark>
Person I’m talking to: Hey! I resemble that witty remark you just made.
Me: >:o
Person: No, really. Look!
At which point, the person removes their shirt, rolls up their sleeve, etc, to reveal a tattoo of the exact witty phrase I have just said.
But even then, aside from being impressed at the coincidence, it would still be a little annoying. And frankly, a little creepy. I suppose what they’re getting at is that something about their personality resembles the remark but even if that’s true, it’s annoying because of the embarrassed attempt at comedy because someone just jokingly insulted them.
