More to come…

I’ve tried leveling a priest a couple times now. There is a little girl on Matticus’ server right now collecting dust. She is sadly my highest Alliance character. All big and bad at level 11!

At the writing of this post I have manage through about a billion smite casts to get Misslitewell to 20. Woo fucking whoo I know. Priest leveling is so incredibly hard and boring. I stand in the back and frantically search for my blink button. While dpsing is no different than the mage, healing is SO different than the druid. On the druid it always felt like preventative healing. While on the priest its reactionary. Of course I have a small HoT, but it is not stackable and I have to remember to not over click it. Damn you lifebloom. Cast times are slow, but then again, I am only 20.

My goal is to get her to at least 40 to get ShadowForm and see how I feel about her. mmmmm Shawdowy goodness. I raided with a SP back in Vanilla named Despina. She was the best shadow priest ever and a hot aussie. Then there was Rajna (who has an epic beard) and Rasagoul (who always kept me entertained) in BC and Wrath, but equally shadowy with outstanding DPS and great personalities to boot!

I do need to search out some priest healing blogs, I am currently using this as a leveling guide but its limited in many ways. I also need to write some nifty macros.

BTW I’ve completely fallen in LOVE with this UI. I’m using it on all my chars right now. Its insane, beautiful, sexy, smart. Yes a UI!

The changes that Blizzard made to Tree form are outrageous. And I might not play my druid at all come Cata because of it.

Cuppycake said it best:

If I want to see my gear, I’ll shift out and look at it.  But when I’m playing my class with other people, I AM A TREE.  Bottom line.

Those of you who follow me on twitter and have me as a homie on facebook know that last week I posted a link to a blog on livejournal asking for donations for a single mom in dire straights. If you missed the follow up you should read that here. While this posts originated in a community that I’m purely a reader and not a contributor of, I still felt compelled to donate. As did a LOT of you. I was overcome with emotion when I read the final count of dollars donated.

The community at large on livejournal is pretty fucking amazing at times. I’ve seen them band together to help out people in so many situations it renews my faith in humanity. And though there have been scam artists, assholes and liars in some cases, overall the people continue to believe that people are true to their word, and are legitimately asking for help.

Well today I am asking for just that.

You know when you are friends with someone through other friends, but you really admire them for their positivity, strength, and good attitude especially when dealing with idiots? Well that is Magicpointeshoes. She and I have been in the same breastfeeding help communities for a long long time. She’s also an adopt_a_mom mentor, which is a community that partners ups brand new moms with veteran breastfeeding moms for one on one support. She’s been a fantastic mentor for new moms.

She and her beautiful family have really been trying hard, as you can read in her journal post. So please friends, take a moment, read her story and all the hard hard work that she and her family have been doing and if the spirit moves you to donate, or just leave a word of encouragement. Anything positive would be so welcomed this day.

Thank you friends, for being so giving. I love it when a plan comes together.
