Okay so the title’s cheesy. Give me a break, it’s early in the morning and I went to bed way too damned late.

Yesterday I was humming and smiling for most of the day. The Diablo 3 announcement made me squee to little fangirl pieces, the info released on it (finally! Pick a class AND sex! TY!), and while the two classes that have been released are lovely, dammit I want my ranged bow shooter. That’s what I played in Diablo 1 and 2, and I want her back, dang it!

I didn’t want to pull up Diablo 2 and play with it (tempted! So tempted!), so I hopped into WoW and started mucking about with my priest. She’s pretty low level at this point, and I spent some time in Darkshire clearing out old quests for her, ones that were grey and green. I have NO idea why I did that tho, since I really want to get her a kitty mount instead of the elephant. So I should have been wandering around in elflands instead. But at least I got a ton of quests killed off, lots of xp, a few upgrades, and dinged 2 levels. ::happy purr::

We tried to get a Heroic Ramparts run going, since I’m -this- close to being exalted on Siana, but alas, it was not to be. That’s okay, cos I needed to eat supper, then log into my mage for Kara fun. And oh my god was it ever fun. Several people that have been off in ::gasp:: another MMO ::gah!:: wandered back last night for a Kara run. A couple of friends of ours in another guild came as well. And Aerye got to go for her second full Kara clear and once again get phat lewts. And me? I was still humming and bouncing.

See, a couple of days ago, I managed to finish the last of the Frozen Shadowweave set. So there I was, all decked out, gemmed, and happy to be going pewpew with friends. My mage is finally getting to the point that I don’t think of her as being -too- much of a gimp. Granted, the green-level pants have GOT to go, but she’s still tons better now! So in we run, slaughter tons of mobs, tell even more bad/naughty jokes (had to stop the raid a couple of times cos the Hunter Class Lead and I were being baaaaaad in tells to each other), and manage to down mobs that eat mana and are immune to magic damage with two pally tanks, only a Hunter that was non-magic damage. And to my delight, the Curator smiled on me last night. My mage walked off with the Staff of Infinite Mysteries. The Boyfriend was there on his boomkin enchanter and had me immediately hand it over to him to enchant Major Spellpower onto it. Yey better pewpew! ::pets new shiny staff::

Somewhere after all of the staff stroking jokes (oh yeah we were baaaaaad last night) and before we killed Prince, Grasp of the Dead dropped. Yeah, it’s not great, but it’s still better than the gloves I’d worn before that. After that, we got Prince down, and Aerye walked off with his axe and the Tier 4 helm piece. She was asking if I wanted it, since she already got the axe, then was informed by the Hunter Class Lead and myself that we would both drive cross country out to California to beat the crap out of her if she didn’t take the helm NOW. A quiet “yes ma’ams” later and Aerye got the token. ::grin:: I was the only other person that could have used the token last night, and since I have Uni-Mind Headdress on my mage at the moment, I’m okay.

So Aerye got loot, my mage got loot, a friend of ours that hadn’t been to Kara before (was his first raid after being gone from WoW for over a year) got lots of loot, others got loot they’d been waiting to have drop for a while and I lost count of the number of times I fell over laughing (or lost the ability to breathe). All in all, I consider it an excellent run, even if it wasn’t the fastest run ever. ::grin::

After I logged, I finally did fire up Diablo 2 and ran around in there. Once I got to the point I was falling over at the keyboard, I shut it off and went to bed. Now I’m up and watching the Diablo 3 Denizens live feed from WWI. ::sigh:: Man I hope they have a bow-wielder. /drool
