Maturity and Crack Addiction

[waywardh]

So after talking with Dan last night, we've decided to be mature when it comes to food shopping and eating.
Each week I'm going to try and plan out what we want to eat each night (roughly), write up a shopping list and then go to Tesco.

This is in effort to prevent several expensive trips to the supermarket where we inevitably end up buying ready meals which aren't that healthy at all.

I'd like to think I have the staying power to do this (even if it does mean I'm becoming like my Mum - actually I don't mind that as she was way cool), but have written it in here, so if need be I can figure out how long the grand scheme lasted.

Tonight we're having Turkey Satay Stir-fry.

In less mature news, my very fabulous boyfriend has helped turn me into a Crack Whore by buying me 'World of Warcraft'.

I can see it now, my life is going to become filled with Shopping lists and gaming addiction.

die_fleiderhat we'd still like to purchase your copy off you as Dan would quite like to try the Crack out for himself.

Usual WoW question - which server are you setting up on?

[elani.livejournal.com]

None as yet, as all I did last night was install the thing.

I understand that a good number of people I know are on Draenor, and Earthern Ring slightly less.

[silks-ic.livejournal.com]

Draenor is very cool
We have a massive quild who all work together to do stuff
And they're all people we know

*nods*

Max said so last night. You're all Alliance right?

[oldnick.livejournal.com]

There's a large patch today - so expect access to be poor tonight. ER is sometimes a bit busy - I don't know much about Draenor.

Apparently the patch will release two new servers for RP-PvP. Might be worth looking at getting in on those ones while they are new.

[elani.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the warning.

Am not sure how much I'll be on tonight, as I said on Blather, I need to assemble a desk, cook dinner and help Balaam load a van.

[die-fleiderhat.livejournal.com]

No problem. I'll bring it to LoTP if that's still okay, or I'll post it if you'd prefer.

[elani.livejournal.com]

Either post it or send it with Jen next weekend?

Which ever is easiest for you.

[die-fleiderhat.livejournal.com]

God, yes, sorry. Send it with Jen. Forgive me - memory is rubbish at the moment.

[elani.livejournal.com]

Is okay *hugs*

I read that as Maternity and thought something remarkable had occurred ;-)

[oldnick.livejournal.com]

Maturity is pretty remarkable ;-)

[elani.livejournal.com]

Oi!

[delvy.livejournal.com]

Good point, well made!

[elani.livejournal.com]

Nah - no kids on the horizon just yet thank you.

[delvy.livejournal.com]

Ah go on, you know you want to. The pain of labour, the sleepless nights, the stretch marks that take years to leave if ever....
No actually I think you're bring very sensible! :-)

[chrissieangel.livejournal.com]

And that was just for delvy! So where exactly are your stretch marks dear? :-0

[delvy.livejournal.com]

If you really want me to I'll tell you! ;-)

[swiftblade.livejournal.com]

My advice would be to go where your friends are. I wouldn't try the new RP-PVP realms yet if I were you. I think PvP requires a little experience with the game. I'd plumb for either Earthern Ring or Argent Dawn being the RP servers. Yes they're usually full, but hopefully the two new servers will ease the pressure somewhat.

If you do find yourself on Argent Dawn, let me know.

[elani.livejournal.com]

Crickey - so that's three servers I know people on now.

Is Draenor not an RP one then? And what's the real difference between an RP server and a non-RP server?

[silks-ic.livejournal.com]

On an RP server you always talk IC
Rather than saying
"Dug I need help doing this quest"
you would say
"Silks I need your aid to vanquish the evil from this land"
Which we decided we didnt want to do

[elani.livejournal.com]

:)

So you guys don't rp at all then?

[silks-ic.livejournal.com]

Just like LT

[thepantsmaster.livejournal.com]

Hey, I roleplay.

I roleplay being me.

Just like LT.

[swiftblade.livejournal.com]

*lol* Not quite true, you have to RP on /say. On /guild you would usually RP, but you can /whisper your mates ooc, talk on /party, /raid or the channels OOC. So, I could whisper "Dug, I need your help, meet in Ogrimaar" and when you turn up, I'd say "Greetings Silks, lets go kill things.." ;)

[swiftblade.livejournal.com]

Not heard of Draenor, but since there are only 2 RP, and 2 Rp-PVP the answer muust be "no"

RP servers are PvE (apart from the new PvP ones!) and have certain rules, for example character names must be fantasy of medieval based. No "LEETOVERLORD" as a name, which I understand is acceptable on other servers. Bear in mind I've never played on a normal server.

Also, people actually RP! From what I understand RP is rare on other servers, it is very common place on RP servers as you would imagine.

If your choice were Dreanor, or Earthern Ring I'd pick Eartern Ring without a second thought.

[binidj.livejournal.com]

Did I mention you can try EverQuest for free?

[elani.livejournal.com]

We've got EQII - we got bored with it - me a lot faster than Dan who played it consistently over Xmas last year.

[binidj.livejournal.com]

That would be because EQII sucks dead dog's cock ... EQ is where it's at.

[sack-boy.livejournal.com]

Draenor - Oak, Tauren Druid - Smelly Horde
Thunderhorn - Zotboom, Gnome Mage - Poncy Alliance
[some server I can't remember off hand] - Akonite, Nightelf Rogue - Poncy Allliance
