You know, I can think of someone we both know who often uses “negative” as a response. He’s not the guy in the post though.

I actually do sometimes see myself like a character in the Sims. Not just the plus/minus signs, but also the sequencing of things I’m about to do and when I’m hungry/tired/need to pee.

I have no idea how someone can get by without a pally. I would have asked him, but he didn’t let me get a word in.

And, um, thanks for the congrats about my physique. I’m secretly quite vain. I wonder if the hotel we’re staying at during Blizzcon has a pool…

Nerdy metaphors, awkward scenarios and you even involved the use of graphs. High-Five on this one.

I do admit that while reading your blog I imagined your interactions very much like a game of Sims, where you click the wrong thing and the other person gets a double minus sign over their head and hates you now.

If anyone ever said “negative” as a response to me, I’m sure I’d put “make this person feel dumb & inferior” at the top of my list. Then again, that may be how pissing contests start. I’m not sure, I’ve rarely competed in them and almost never remember them afterwards.

Additionally, how is it possible to level that many characters and not have a pally? Even I eventually caved in and bought the advice that you and @Bruherd had been selling.

Also congrats on having a commendable back-end.

I think I just failed at making geeky innuendo. Ignore me.

The goofing around posts are by far my favorite to write, but I tend to struggle with inspiration for them. I’m so jealous of those people who are naturally hilarious! On the right side of the blog, under “Classic Bossy Pally moments”, I have the other silly posts I’ve written, but yeah, I don’t manage to write them very often. WTB funnier life. ;D

I never associated my raiding and lack of dating, but now that you mention it, the first time I dated in years was the first time I wasn’t raiding regularly in years. I don’t see why it would make a difference- I spend my non-raiding time during weekday evenings doing schoolwork or sleeping anyway, but maybe I just don’t get lonely when I raid.

Um, I haven’t looked too much into FFXIV. It would be fun to have another game to play, but I barely have time for WoW, I can’t see how I’d fit another game in. I’d check it out if I know others who are playing, but otherwise I’ll probably let it pass me by.

+ a million for listening to Lady Gaga and not reading Twilight.

I never mention WoW until other person does first. Then I get really excited and then depressed when I realize he lives dozens and dozens of miles away and spend the rest of the evening wondering how I spent all my money on alcohol.

Completely unrelated, but how do you feel about FFXIV?
