Man, it never ceases to amaze me how fast you become attached to kids, and them to you. I feel so insanely popular, there are about 20 kids that will scream "Hi Mr. Joe!" every time I walk by, it's really fun. It's also crazy how many of their names I remember! Not that I can match any of them with their parents, much less know their parent's names, but hey, the kids are cooler. ^_~
I'm also going to miss being around this group of people, it's like a little slice of heaven. Everyone is nice and loving to each other, just imagine a huge (300+) family reunion only where everyone actually enjoys being around each other. It's more fun than I could ever ask for, I can't wait for the next time, I totally plan on attending then too. Either helping with the kids or being one of the random admin people who run around and do spot helping here and there.
I will admit that I am tired though. My stomach started feeling off earlier this week and I haven't had more than a couple really good filling meals since then, mostly I've been just eating a few bites of whatever food and eating bread and water. God's really given me grace with it though, I've been able to keep up with the kids (mostly) and still have energy to bless the people I'm working with, largely due to how much they're blessing me. I can't believe how much grace God gives some times.
Okay, now a short break from the really cool stuff to talk about WoW (which is still plenty cool, but not quite as cool). All non-WoW players feel free to skip down to my sig, nothing more getting posted non-wow. So I looked at the beta notes, and I do realize they are still at the beginning of the beta and everything can still completely change, but WOW. Someone out there took pally and decided they were going to be bestest buds. The only annoying thing is I'm going to have to watch my spell rotation more now, they turned the CD on Holy Shield down by 2 sec so we can now become totally uncrushable (so long as the mob doesn't dish out more than 1 atk per sec). But sadly with that and a few other changes I don't think it's actually possible to keep ALL my threat spells up at the same time, which leaves lots of theory crafting as to which is more important and where.
Also I'm totally pumped that Shrinn and Grai's-alt-whose-name-I-can't-remember joined Sidhe Devils. Shrinn is crazy cool and peppy and Grai is a wealth of pally knowledge, which was sadly lacking before, some crazy notion that druids could tank as well as paladins or something like that, and he isn't stuck up about knowing most everything about paladin. So we have to more people, which also makes it easier on me trying to get peeps together for 5-mans in general, heroic and regular.
I have new goals too! Want to get at least a non-heroic healing gear set for my pally, and wanna get my rogue to 70 so I can play dps too, then I'll be the full meal deal! I'll post more on that later, but for now I visit the forums then hit the sack, loooooong day tomorrow.
~joe/ishvi the very, very blessed
