    That might spark a debate of whatever Vereesa did renounce on Sylvanas or not.

    Well, happy reading :)

    ----------
    I know this is reviving a 3 week old topic but this one needs to be said. What I said in my last post was all correct.


    ----------
    I can only remember that I've had one dream, I've had it several times though last time I had it was over 10 years ago. I used to have the same dream of being chased through a wheat field by a scarecrow with a scythe. I had that nightmare over and over again until finally I never remembered any dream ever again.

    I remember once when I was 17 or something I woke up in the middle of the night sweating, panting and with a very rapid pulse so the only logical argument is that I had a nightmare but I've never remembered any of my dreams.
    ----------
    But since then that has changed. Last night I remember a dream that I used to have when I was even younger. The dream was very long and it was all me watching a TV-show. In this TV-show I saw my cat Sessan (1993-2009) and she was lying inside a dungeon and she was very sick and enduring unspeakable agony. I remember sitting with her there for what seemed to be hours just holding her in my arms gently petting her. She did survive the dream but seeing her endure so much pain was to much for me. When I woke up this morning it was the first time in my adult life that i cried my eyes out. I've spent the last two hours weeping even after the eyes went dry and then I wrote it all down here because it's really important for me to remember this dream.

    So I just wanted to say thank you for giving me room to write this down somewhere where I know I'll remember it as this is a dream that I never want to forget.

    Pretty much ;D

    Don't think that I haven't seen your WoW topics and posts, I just don't know what to reply.

    Jag har inte kört mycket blackrock idag, jag kommer kämpa vidare imorgon eller något i den stilen tror jag.

    I've read it and it proved quite the theory there.

    That could raise a valid point but momentarily I have no words for a reply :p

    Christmas soon, how do you celibrate it in Amurica? In Sweden we've always had a very uniqe tradition. Christmas used to be the only time of the year when cartoons would be shown on TV. As a result every year at 3pm on the 24th everyone in Sweden gather around to watch Donald Duck's christmas show. As a result Donald Duck is the official Disney icon in Sweden and not Mickey Mouse who's the icon in the rest of the world. Mickey Mouse is seen as little more than a glorified sidekick. After Donald Duck that lasts an hour we eat dinner and open gifts on the night of the 24th. What does your christmas look like.

    I live in California, 'Murica. Hopefully you don't mind my answer :)

    In the US, a good percentage of properties will have christmas themed lights and decorations near the front of houses. It depends on the family, but most I know treat Christmas as a celebration to stay up late, eat, open presents, and... uh drink alcohol. Santa claus is widely accepted to be something to convince children that he's real, as sometimes te news may have 'coverage' on where he is now. The religious things are simply going to church. There is a significant amount of non-christians who celebrate christmas, as it is suposed to be a fun peaceful event here in the US.

    Haha, yeah. Wii U is great for get togethers, but it is lacking big titles that'll make you want the system. Legend of Zelda will probably fix that a bit, but idk. It would still feel like I'm buying a console for just 1-2 games. :p But I'm okay with that, I suppose, as long as the games are worth it. I know LoZ will be worth it, and probably super smash as well. For everything else, PC!
    PurgeandFire
    Yeah. Even though the cel shading is wind waker/skyward swordish, the atmosphere brings it a little closer to twilight princess style, which is certainly welcomed by me. :p And yeah, so many releases. So little time (and so little $$). I need a wealthy uncle to be able to keep up with consoles.

    I learned Spanish in high school, but I can only barely speak it. It is probably the most useful to know (at least for the west side of U.S.). In my high school, they offered Spanish and French (and technically Vietnamese, but that was mostly taken by Vietnamese students).

    Speaking Spanish is a great bonus over here. Too bad I kinda suck at it. I'm decent at understanding it, but I haven't practiced in quite some time.

    Sorry, I forgot to respond. I have mostly been swamped with studying, but I did get a chance to play WoD for a bit on Friday/Saturday. It is honestly very exciting. I didn't think I would get into garrisons, but boy was I wrong. I'm only 92 at the moment (I was only able to play for a few hours before working again), but I've had a blast so far. I'm leveling with a friend of mine, and we're taking the time to read through the quests & explore. The quests have been very enjoyable, and frostfire ridge is already one of my favorite zones (I'm not even finished questing there!).

    I know you were expecting to wait until the next xpac, but I'd recommend trying it out now while things are still new and fun. After all, since the anniversary just hit, they are temporarily releasing molten core and that southshore vs. tarren mill battleground. I've heard it is super hectic and a wipe-fest, but I honestly wouldn't mind. :D IMO, I'd prefer if LFR/LFD had the potential to wipe more--so long as there are sufficient drawbacks to leaving.

    Anyway, I'm still inexperienced--I haven't checked out any other zones. But I have high hopes. And everything is a lot more fun without flying. It really reminds me of the older xpacs. I haven't had this much fun leveling since vash'jir.
    PurgeandFire
    That sounds awesome. I always have respect for people who have a genuine passion and are willing to pursue it.

    And yeah, as far as nature goes, Scandinavia is probably one of the best places to be. It's places like those that justify having a /r/earthporn subreddit. I can only imagine what it'd be like to experience those views first hand.
    PurgeandFire
    About your first question, I'm not sure how good I am at WoW. I'm certainly not the best, but I think I have potential to get high ratings. Last season my team members and I had a blast trying to grind past 2.2k for 3's. We peaked at 2170, but we went down and up from there--but if not for the servers shutting down, I'm pretty sure we could've gotten far. But it was some of the most fun I had in my WoW experience. PvP sucks if you're playing with cocky or ultra-serious (i.e. no humor) players, but when you find chill people (a lot easier since MoP's cross-realm/flexible teams), it is the best thing.

    As for your second question, I still don't have that figured out. I certainly want to travel at some point after graduation (preferably within my 20's). For work, I would ideally work for a start-up or an independent project, since I want my job to feel more like an enjoyable hobby rather than a day-to-day routine--and there is loads of potential for that in California. I doubt I'll move anywhere, especially since I like to be near family & friends.

    I don't think polygamy is for me. :p I would love to meet someone, but I doubt I'll marry any time soon. At the moment, I'm happily single, especially since I don't think I have much to offer at the moment (neither time nor investment $$)--but once I start earning, I'll be more comfortable with the idea.

    But who knows, I tend to be very optimistic. There is no guarantee how my life will go, but I at least hope that I stick to my roots--I really hope that I don't become bored with my life. It seems as if so many people are reduced to a state where all social activities are either lunch meetups, work, bars, or parties. It seems dreadfully boring to me, and it is like that as early as uni. Most social activity is reduced to small-talk (how was your day? what classes are you taking?), and it becomes a chore to even speak. Perhaps that is why I am so fond of conversing over the internet. Whatever your interest--you can find someone else to talk to about it. In most cases, you are anonymous, so you don't have to worry about the minutiae of social confrontation. You simply talk as much as you want and entertain yourself. If you're tired of talking about one thing, you can talk to a boatload of other people about any other topic. It is a similar situation with games--they act as a medium between people who are interested in a common topic. That is the heart of online play. It is hard to connect in such a way in real life--not without alienating yourself. If you say that you play WoW to a random stranger, either (1) they play WoW too and will enjoy a conversation; or (2) they don't play WoW and will associate you with whatever thoughts they have of WoW. When weighing risk and reward, it is often better not to mention it at all (same situation with other games, and anime/cartoons). And that is ultimately one of the reasons people have such dull conversations in real life. I'd like to pretend and say that I start completely awesome conversations, but sadly--I do not. I feel as though it is a general rule of life. It isn't that case with all people--with good friends and family, you'll know the difference. However, when meeting people for the first time (or seeing acquaintances or 'friends'), it tends to lean on the dull side.

    Anyway, I apologize for the rant. I don't know where it came from, but I've always felt that way. I just never communicated it to people. So, what are your plans for your future?
    PurgeandFire
    Hehe, maybe. Compared to most, I play very little. I always had an on/off subscription, so it was usually easier/quicker to gear in PvP and mess around opposed to grinding gear in PvE over time.

    I wasn't very big in PvP when I first started--I still remember the first time I dared to queue into Warsong Gulch (it was from an emissary in ironforge, since it was that battleground's weekend). I was scared out of my mind. Similar experience with my first arena. But over time, after I got used to keybinding and strafing and such, it got really fun. And ever since that change to make it so arena teams aren't fixed, it is a lot easier to start matches and meet new people--it is exciting.
    PurgeandFire
    I want to give PvE a shot this expansion. I really didn't do "real" PvE in MoP apart from LFR, which is dreadfully boring since it didn't require any communication or considerations.

    Other than that, I always look forward to the start-of-the-expansion PvP. I wanna try out that FFA arena and I want to see which classes I like. Mage is a bit boring without alter time and without deep setups, and my rogue feels too ridiculously strong that it bothers me. But I think which class I level first might actually be determined by which server opens up first. xD

    My mac's video card failed, which sucked. I had to get a new computer (the video card was built-in to the logic board, so I would have to buy an entirely new one, which would cost ~600-700). But now I'm back and ready to go.

    I'm considering buying WoD soon. I wasn't too enticed to buy it right away since it is just a dc-fest, but it should be better by the weekend (I imagine).

    I had a fun time watching blizzcon--I missed a lecture just to watch through the WoW finals, heh. It was one of the best tourney's I've seen, but I really wanted MLS or WMD to get through (especially since I played WMD last season).

    What stuck out for you from blizzcon? Overwatch seemed neat, and I'm excited for the hearthstone xpac (even though I haven't played in a while--it is always nice to see new cards going into the meta). And the Warcraft movie panel got a lot of positive response, which is a relief.
