I love my weekends

ravnsdaughterI just had yet another fracking awesome weekend.
(Yes, I'm working my way through BSG and it's showing in my vocabulary; specifically, the use of the word frack)
I had signed up to raid Friday night, as they had looked to be really short on people in general, but in the end wasn't needed, which was just fine by me. Because Ian had a really long, hard week, we hadn't made any plans for Friday night, so we just chatted while playing WoW instead. I was working on questing for my Loremaster achievement, so I was flying hither and yon all over Azeroth (I was working on Loremaster of Kalimdor, but needed to do quests on both continents to find ones that gave me credit for Kalimdor, which was a big pain in the butt). Ian disappeared mid-evening, and I suspected he had headed out for drinks with the guys; he hasn't quite developed the habit of saying "bye, going out with the guys" when he does, so I wasn't sure, but it turned out my guess was right on the money.
Saturday, I did a bit of laundry and housework but mostly kept questing away until just before 2pm, which is when Ian rejoined the land of the living and came online. I had originally planned to go to Lionsdale Champions on Saturday, but decided not to because of my cold. After Ian came online, we did a Zul'Gurub run with some guildies, and then they helped me knock out 6 or 7 quests in Dire Maul (which I had never done in its entirety before, so it actually meant I got the achievement for it as well), and then he headed over so that we could go out to dinner. I had decided that I wanted to go out someplace with a patio and have a nice meal and some drinks to celebrate receiving my Certificate of Discharge on Thursday. We headed out to Yianni's, my favorite greek taverna, and had a lovely meal and split a pitcher of sangria. Mmmm, sangria. I even ended up a little tipsier than usual.
We went back to my place, had a shower, and then laid naked on the bed in front of the fan talking, which was absolutely lovely considering the scorching heat we had on Saturday (and the enormous meal we'd just eaten). We had some really good conversation too, about priorities and goals and things like that.
on Sunday, we lazed around for pretty much all morning, I cooked brunch, and then we played some WoW together. I finally finished up my Loremaster achievement! Boy that was a ton of work. Ian headed out about 5pm as he needed to get some grocery shopping and laundry done, and I decided to finish up my Cenarion Circle rep grind in WoW, which I was fairly close to having done.
And I got some totally awesome news last night, which I will save for my next post as this is getting long enough as it is. :)

Date: 2009-06-17 05:04 pm (UTC)I play Horde on Bronzebeard and Alliance on Lightbringer. If you want to look for me in-game, look for Inaara, Kersei, Adariel, Meriel, Bryoni, Daenaryss, Aurian or Miranni on Bronzebeard (that's in order of how likely I am to be playing the toon), or Lyriel on Lightbringer (or really just do a /who on the guild "Avalorien", and whisper whatever character is on, it's my own private vanity guild and other than 3 toons which belong to friends of mine, all of the toons in there are mine. :)

Date: 2009-06-17 05:20 pm (UTC)I've really cut back on my play time recently, I was in a raiding guild that was starting to become too hardcore. I found myself spending way too much time raiding and stressing about raiding, and as it wasn't fun anymore, I said thanks for everything but I've got to take care of myself first. I'm just starting to play again now after a three month hiatus. Joined a guild that's an offshoot of my old one - A bunch of the more casual players who were in the same situation as I was - and we're concentrating on working up to a casual 10 man guild to start with. Still haven't seen the inside of Ulduar, but I'm in no hurry. :P
I've never really played Horde, I may start a toon on Bronzebeard and come find you sometime. :)
