Death to all the spiders!
So I accept this quest that takes me to a cave guarded by these spiders that are straight from the pits of hell. Hell I tell you! If I die one more time, the computer goes OUT THE WINDOW! Suddenly, I am not so happy with this friendly game and am cursing Jason for sending it.
Have I mentioned I am in fact an arachnaphobe? So, these big ugly spiders coming my way are NOT making me happy!
In my anger I decide those spiders are going to have to wait to kill me again. I have been instructed by the Males to talk to everyone with a question mark over their head or an exclamation mark. This leads me to Darania Silvershine. Apparently, her friend Iverron has not been around to see her and she is worried. She want me to go....guess where? That freaking spider cave.
I do not like Darania SIlvershine so much.
But even though I am into this for 2 hours, I am too mad to quit.
I managed to get past the spiders. I knew I would die. Die hard. And I did. Several times. But no! Once I manage to get that taken care of, I couldn't find the freaking dude she was so worried about.
Screaming like a woman possessed I started yelling at the Males in the house.
WHY ARE YOU NOT HELPING ME?! WHERE IS THIS MAN??! I HATE ALL OF YOU!
Laughing, they come to my pathetic rescue.
"You know you are never going to make it in this game if you can't get past level 4," my smart ass son said.
"Son, you are grounded. Get out. Mommy loves you, but get out," I reply with all the love of an obsessed gamer mom.
I finished the quest. Logged off in a huff and declared war on the game.
Thankfully it was summertime and the kids were able to have a free for all night as Mom is busy questing.

Our house would so fall to the ground around us if I picked up one more computer-related hobby.
I'm an Everquest 2 mommyblogger, myself (level 42, heehee!) I'll tell you what, after a day of listening to whining and picking up the same darn toys, nothing relaxes ya like smiting some undead minions. Don't let the spiders get you down.
I got to your blog while doing a search for WOW blogs, welcome to the addiction. I have 3 level 60's and enjoy the game quite a bit. I look forward to reading about your new journey into this awesome game.
They should make a game where you obliterate poopy diapers and zap virii and annoying competimoms with lasers. That's the kind of game I could really excel at :)

AAAAHHHH! WoW is still installed on my laptop, though I have declared a moratorium on playing since.. uh.. March. But only because it totally sucked a year of my life away and I COULD NOT EVEN GET TO FREAKING LEVEL 60.
The humorous side? The hubby and I got his parents addicted. ESPECIALLY his mom. Who is nearly 60 and hasn't played a computer game since she was addicted to Tetris on the AMIGA. She has 4 level 60 characters. She has been playing for about 8 months. For christmas? She got the Team Speak headpiece.
I feel a little swell of pride when I realize what we have done to her. She's one of Our People now.
The break will last until at least January. Then? Xhalia the ogress and I will be back to rock the Crushridge. And finally get that damn level 60.
