Legs huuurt today Don’t know why… I didn’t even do anything weird to them yesterday. It was actually the day before that I’d have thought would have made them sad (running to the Mullins Center from the bus stop to try to get to the concert as fast as possible). Oh, I’m not sure if I mentioned that… Chris got to go to a Black Eyed Peas concert for free because of some music thing he was doing. Anyway, he got me a ticket. For some reason I said I didn’t want to go…? I hung up and felt stupid about 10 seconds later.

No, I wasn’t that excited about the Black Eyed Peas concert, but I had been all stupid and annoyed for the entire day that he was going and I had to be home by myself — and then I turned him down?? *slaps self* So anyway, I tried to call him back from Jared’s phone in the lab, but he didn’t pick up. I decided to go home and figured I had ruined my chances.

Well, I got home, and found I didn’t have my keys and Tom and Shane weren’t home so I was locked out I was outside for 30-45 minutes in the cold and rain (light rain, at least) before they got home. Called Chris, got him this time, and he said he didn’t think he could get me a ticket anymore But, then he called back about 20 minutes later and said he had one

Okay I have to go, some stuff came up which stopped me writing this and I have class in 2 minutes, maybe I’ll finish this later.

Game club was really fun thursday night it was busy and having 3 tvs was really awesome, it’s been a while since we could do that… damn campus center and their new rules sigh.

I am taking a break from raiding on both Ceres and Voice. I have really been enjoying all the free time I have. When friends came over the other night I got to hang out for the entire time! Chris hasn’t really been raiding either which means we’ve been able to spend a lot more time together. In the meantime during my free time when Chris and I aren’t really doing anything, I’ve been playing my warrior. I did West Stratholme 5-man last night. The first part was really tough on us… AoE with 3 elites? D: It was also my first time tanking but I think I did pretty well, at least once we got out of the AoE stuff! I still made noob mistakes like forgetting to switch stances sometimes, but I don’t think it ever really wiped us. Today I respecced to 14 arms/23 fury/14 protection so hopefully tanking will be a little easier on Zorya (or Veela) next time!

Been playing more DotA… the huntress hero is awesome. Luna Moonsong or something… Lucent Beam = ownage and Eclipse = more ownage. :X I was 2-shotting Andria and Tony’s heroes left and right. I felt really bad about it during the game though. Chris was the ogre magi hero too so we had huge nuking power. I think Andria’s character was definitely more of a support character which didn’t help. And Chris and I used items to be able to see Tony’s character even though he had stealth :X I only died once and it was when I was level 4, to the scourge because I was being dumb

Um. Yeah, so real life stuff. Not much to talk about… went to see Silent Hill friday night. I really liked it but… it was creepy. And fucked up. Just like the games, I guess!

Chris and I have been playing some DDR each day too. I think it’ll really help with our exercise Today I couldn’t do much (got wiped out pretty fast) but yesterday we played for about an hour. It’s easier to play it now, since we don’t have anyone living below us to freak out

I started drawing a supersecret! drawing for chris It’s been a while since I’ve drawn anything and I hope it comes out well… lately every time I try to draw I barely get through it before I just quit. I don’t feel very creative and I think it comes out in my drawings This drawing itself isn’t that “creative” but I think it’ll be a little bit special at least. I’ll try to remember to post it when it’s done someday.

I need to buy vitamins, hopefully that’ll help me to stay awake during my class that I keep getting all tired about… we’ll see.

Yesterday was a pretty good day Did more paper coating in my photo class (we’re making our own coated watercolor paper to print on), then I went to eat lunch with Chris (unfortunately at the time he was pretty busy checking out software to write down music ideas, so we didn’t really get much time to talk until the last 20 minutes or so he was there), then I had my maya class Our project is finally coming together, oh please god I just want to stop working on the popcorn project. T_T

I submitted my proposal for my final project in that class, I want to try to do a model, not sure how that will work out though. I honestly don’t know that much about Maya. I don’t understand how I learned SO MUCH about Hash modeling and animation for those two semesters, but I didn’t learn a single thing about Maya. I can do sooo little, I can’t even perform a third of the things I can do in Hash, at least with any certainty. Bah, anyway…

Went home hoping to have time for a game of DotA, but it just wasn’t meant to be I was starving (last time I ate was just my ramen cup with Chris at 12 and I couldn’t take it anymore) so Chris and I ate some small frozen pizzas and had french fries while watching the latest episode of House. It was a weird episode… good, but at the end I was kind of “… D:”

Soon as that ended we went over to Alyson’s house for Joe’s surprise party it was fun! Enjoyed some appetizers (bad idea, that combined with the food I ate earlier killed my appetite for the food Alyson made later on ;____;) and when Joe arrived it was great XDD Watching him with the pinata was especially amazing I was pretty sure someone was going to get hurt, haha. Him shattering the stick on the tree branch was priceless. Alyson made some beef stuff (I forget the name… sigh) which at first I didn’t have any but then I thought to myself that I definitely should since she made it so I had a little bit and it was very yummy The ice cream cake was also yummy (of course :p). Chris and I left around 9 because he had somewhere to be at 10 (for music writing stuff with those frat guys). I played WoW for a little while (helped Erin through Gnomeregan) and then I was so tired I couldn’t stay up anymore. Shane begged me for some DotA, but I couldn’t do it and conked out within 15 minutes Woke up around 12 when Chris called to say he was coming home, fell back asleep, woke up again when he came to bed, fell back asleep (after having to get up to get a drink of milk because I was really thirsty for some reason).

Yes. How exciting.

Then I had a dream about Joe and Andrew (Andrew being a kid that came to game club a few times, he was really kind of cocky and that was a bit annoying… :X). Joe was going crazy because of stress from school (not really crazy but temporary crazy) and shooting people with a BB gun, and then Chris and I got into an argument (in the dream) where Chris was saying for some reason that he liked Andrew better than Joe (which is not true in real life, haha, but I think he was saying it in the dream because Joe was shooting people), and I was like “How can you?!” and got all angry, and then I woke up. Chris asked me who should go to take a shower first (since our alarm had just gone off) and I was like “I don’t care!” in a huffy/angry voice, then I realized that it was all a dream and there was no reason to be mad at him XDD haha.

Jay is coming over later I think, and tonight is Silent Hill Night at game club! So if you go to UMass you should come! It’s at the campus center at 7pm, just look up Hi Score Game Night on the listing The movie comes out tomorrow and a bunch of us are all going to go see it.

I had a fun weekend Saturday Chris and I went out to eat at Amherst Brewing Company, I had a steak and Chris had a yummy burger. We watched 2 movies, Rent and 40 Year Old Virgin. I thought 40 Year Old Virgin would be really terrible and I would hate it, but then I heard it was by the same as Anchorman, and I didn’t mind it. My mom and dad also called that night and invited Chris and I over for easter “dinner” at 12 on sunday So we ended up going to that, too. I got to see Jim and Shannon (maybe the last time I see them before they move out… which sucks…) and Uncle Richie

Sunday night after we came home, we went over to Tony’s for chicken pot pie, which was tasty! We also played NORMAL Carcassonne (with only the river expansion) and it was fun! I only lost by one point We played Blockus too, and I tied Chris for first with that game (at the end we had the exact two last pieces left… who would have thought? haha)

Yesterday, Brian and Tony came over (and Shane came home sunday night) and we had some fun Played some Chu-Chu Rocket on the Dreamcast (Tony won :P) and I think they played some Guitar Hero before I went downstairs. We watched 3 or 4 episodes of Scrubs (loooove Scrubs), and played 3 games of DotA in warcraft III First game was me, Chris, and Brian all on a team against Shane and Tony and… we lost… lol. My hero was a support hero I think, maybe if I had bought different weapons/stuff for her it would have gone differently, but I sucked while Tony was invisible and critting people for 900 (which btw was 90% of my health). Chris’ character finally started to do well toward the end but it was already too late. My character was good until we hit level 6 or so, then after that I felt my character slip away in terms of being balanced and Shane’s and Tony’s began to dominate Shane became invulnerable for 5 seconds after he went below a certain HP… and he did crazy damage. Haha

The second game was just Chris and I versus Tony and Brian (Shane was playing WoW and raiding at that point). I picked the Dragon Knight guy. Having a hard time remembering which hero Chris picked that game… oh yeah, it was a hunter-type character. We both had awesome AoE which we used to just clear out enemy units in two hits (one from each of us) and we leveled really fast. We killed Tony a LOT and I felt bad Haha. Chris and I ended up winning because our AoE + the awesome-ness of our characters was great.

The third game was the same teams, I chose a Stealth Assassin (weird tiny little satyr guy) and Chris was the mountain king guy with a whole bunch of hero-nuking attacks. We can’t tell what the range was on one of them but apparently he got a double kill on them when they were nowhere near each other… haha They kept complaining that they couldn’t hit me because I was so small, and every time they tried to run away I would just blink, then my passive backstab would be laying on damage, and if they tried to attack me I just used smoke screen so they missed 70% of their attacks. That was a really fun combo. It was a close game though overall, Tony’s character was a really good counter to Chris’ character because he could silence Chris, and Chris was all about mana (at the end his mana regen and mana pool were huge). Tony almost made it to our tree, so we had to fend him off for a while, and afterward I attacked their base while Chris stayed back and defended and beat the lich king’s ice thing So yay! That was a much more balanced game, in terms of fairness of characters (and our knowledge of playing them), than any of the others.

Anyway… yeah. I had fun yesterday! Chris and I watched an episode of CSI (gross one… started out with the discovery of an arm in a meat grinder) and then we went to bed.

Anyway time for me to get ready for work and class. Whee. (Speaking of, I had a weird dream last night about today, when I had to go in to Tony’s class and watch the students but none of them knew what to do and for some reason they had to do an assignment that they didn’t have yet… and it was weird.)

I have pretty much “quit” raiding for a while. I sent Tallgeese (priest coordinator) a private message about it, and I will probably not be showing up for much with AU. So far I have been enjoying it.
