WoW Update

Well, I haven't had much time to actually play WoW in about two weeks now, but That doesn't stop my mind from working. I'm thinking about lots of things in-game, and I've got a little tinge of jealousy forming.

I've been sitting behind Calli for a year-plus since the expansion watching others do the new raid instances, waiting patiently for the "new" to wear off and waiting for others to "learn" it well enough that If I go and screw up BIG TIME (which is liable to happen), we won't all die a horrible death and it be all my fault. Is that the wrong way to look at an raid instance? Probably - but one of the reasons I don't raid is because I don't like the pressure; if I wait until the raid instance is beat to death, a great portion of that pressure is taken away.

Anyway...there was one thing that kept me from feeling "behind" in all this. The Don hadn't been to the big new raid instance, either, and therefore, I wasn't alone in my "I haven't done that yet" - ness. Well, last night, that changed. The Don went to Karazhan.

I'm not jealous of him per se, but of the ability that he (and a lot of other guildies have) to go in there and not worry about causing a wipe. That's my HUGE worry, and I don't want to make someone else's experience in the instance less because of my ineptitude. That's something I need to fix, not anyone else, but still...I dunno.

I wanna go. That's the bottom line. I'm willing to do the work, I just haven't had the time. My equipment's in pretty good shape, I just need a good, casual group who is willing to hold my hand through the instance who won't get mad when I screw up majorly (which will happen) and is in it for the fun of it and nothing else. Is that too much to ask?

Shoot...I'd be HAPPY to go to Kara with ya! I'm new to SC, and fairly new to WoW (just had my year anniversary...I "treated" myself last year, on Mother's Day).

I just dinged 67 tonight, but if ya wanna wait a couple of levels...LOL.

I am really enjoying the guild. Everyone has been super-nice to me and Biznesox (my husband/partner-in-crime, Dave).

I look forward to getting to know all of you!
