Just wanted to put it out there that it's been hard to get motivated to post anything this week, and apologize to anyone who's reading (or I am apologizing to myself for letting myself down... hrmm narcissistic much?).
We did Ony this week (technically our raid weeks are weird, it was last Thursday) and for once I felt completely useless. I was coordinating heals for a fight I've only been a grunt healer on. We started off the signups with 8 or 9, but ended up with 7 showing up, with 2 of those either being an alt or very new to the fight.
4th attempt is when I lose my alt healer from my pool of healing.... I'm now down to 6 because apparently the DPS wasn't doing their job and they needed her to help kill the big bad dwagon.
So on each pull we were damn near guaranteed to be down to 5 by the time Ony hits the air. Not naming names, but I saw a fail angel alot... maybe not exactly by the first phase, but certainly by the time the big flamey breath weapon struck.
Here's a fucking hint... the raid leader (or my husband, having the duty handed off to him mid-fuckall run) was calling out WHERE IT WAS WAS SAFE TO STAND.... "North and south are safe" "Sides are safe" "NE and SW" "Outside the goddamn zone". So maybe you should get a clue from that... don't stand in the middle of the fucking room and try to soak up the flames because you needed a goddamned tan. This is not survivable, so FUCKING MOVE instead of showing off your fail angel each and every attempt.
I refuse to name names, since I do love this woman dearly, but maybe Ony was not the first raid you should have come back from Hiatus on.
Oh and next time you go into Ony's room and notice a vague spacegoat shaped pattern of blood spatters on the floor thats starting to tile the room... pay it no mind, we finally killed her Sunday, but the 6 or 7 attempts on Thursday left me wondering when she was going to buy me dinner and what I did with my KY.

Armor Sets
I have to say I'm a little peeved at the developers.
What the fuck are they smoking?
How fair is it that I can wear gear that looks like it came off of a hunter? or a shammy? (Ok some of that shammy gear is rightfully taken)
I have a paladin buddy who I have a friendly gearcheck with every week. He's wearing an ilvl 232 helm that looks EXACTLY LIKE the ilvl 245 one I just won tonight. W-T-F-B-B-Q?
I don't get it. Oh and he's got a different shield, but it's the same graphic, just with a slightly sicker hue to it.... (more green). It's just not right that they reused, no wrong word, overused all of the armor patterns and even went crossclass with them.
There is no originality to it, no uniqueness. It feels like the only reason my Paladin doesn't look like everyone else and their mother is the fact that she has the tabard for being exalted with x-amount of reps. The red flamey pretty cool lookin one.
Oh and her sword from grayskull.
Edit 12/8- Correction the tabard is from having 25 tabards. It is awesomesauce.

Open Letter to Blizzard Dev's (Part 1)
I don't know how many parts that this will have, but this is my first in a series of open letters to the Blizz developers.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Patch 3.3 you are going to add in a new feature to Report Lag.
Really? WTF is wrong with you? No I'm serious... I'll wait here for your response.
You are giving this functionality to everyone, I'm assuming to improve the servers. On one hand it looks fantastic on paper. Lets see who has the worst lag and we'll upgrade those servers first, etc. OK- I can see that.
But in reality you are giving problem players a way to harass you, and the rest of the server. You are giving this to every douchebag who persists in typing in /2 Anal (insert ability name here). You are giving this to people who can barely find the "on" button on their computers. You are giving this to people who should be chemically castrated for how STUPID they are. You are giving this to players who have no sense of reality and think that all of their problems are someone else's fault. None of these people are going to listen to a reasonable answer, if in fact you or your employees are going to respond to each of these incidents.
Instead what you are going to be doing it giving them an "ADD LAG" button to their UI. That right.. all of these individuals will report lagginess when their addon's, internet connection, computer, etc. is at fault. Because as each of these rolls in, it will stress the server. As each player says in trade "Hey I just reported Lag. I wanted to see how it worked. HAHAHAHA" more people will do it. Our servers are already stressed to the point where you had to make our instances boil over onto more open servers in our battlegroups, and you have just added to the stress level for all of the extra data you will have to mine and process.
The only way that this could even remotely work is to only trust people with this button who have more than two braincells. Unfortunately there is no script in the world that can recognize this, and you have just mastered being complete twits about any problem that may actually exist.
Congrats Blizzard for a complete fuckup of an idea. Go back to the drawing board.
P.S. Every person and their mother lags in Dalaran unless they are playing on stupidly overpowered supercomputers. Are we ALL supposed to report lag when we hit Dalaran. Great way to crash the server.

Argh!
Wether I am at work or home, if you speak to me in ALL CAPS I am less likely to give one flying shit about you, or your comment until I'm damn good and ready.
I will make your ass wait on me since you were so goddamn rude.
More than likely your capslock turned on due to the drool running out of your mouth. If I'm in a forgiving mood, I might ignore it.... once.
If you continually bombard me with tells in all caps, not only will I put you on ignore, but I'll also blacklist you off of healbot, which means that when your little green bar is smaller than normal, I'm not healing your retarded ass.
The only exception I will ever make to this rule is for the MT... but all the tanks that I normally run with know better. If it's a PUG, I'll edumacate you on the ettiquette of asking for a fucking heal.
In the end though your fucking capslock is not my problem, and in fact I'll make it yours.

Comment about AV and Drek
Yes Drek is going to hit you hard.... if I hear one more non-tank bitch about how they got critted for xx amount I'm going to lose my mind I think...
Of course he's going to hit you, what do you expect him to do?? Shower you with Light, Kisses and Rose Petals?
Maybe you shouldn't try running in every time YOU or some other DOUCHEBAG calls for everyone to go...
Ask yourself the following before calling "all in" and proving that you have more intelligence than a 6yr old with severe Autism.
Do we have a tank?
Do we have heals?
If no to either of these, and you still feel the need to type "OMG GOGOGOGOGOGO" or some variant thereof, remove yourself from the keyboard and have your mother get a reverse abortion.. kthxbye.
