Lethia

On Friday I went over to Adam’s and spent half the day being a complete geek. His friend David was there, and they convinced me to play the World of Warcraft trading card game with them. I learned the ropes and ended up beating them two out of three times! I’d never even picked up a card before and they’re both seasoned players! I don’t know whether to be proud or scared of myself.

After I proved my geeky sovereignty, we all hooked our computers up to the router and played actual World of Warcraft. At that point, everyone in the house was playing, including Adam’s two roommates. It was fun, but something to note is that if you’re in a house with five geeks all hooked up to one router, then if the router gets unplugged you’re going to have five angry geeks all running to it at once, tripping over cords on the way.

I’ve played WoW since its beta stage, which is before the game was officially released to the public, but I decided to start all over again a couple of weeks ago after buying the new expansion. I hadn’t played in several months and my old human rogue character was rusty, so I made a brand new draenei hunter named Lethia.

She’s only level 18 right now, still working her way up in the world of Azeroth.

The draenei is one of the new species that came with the expansion. They’re human-ish, but they have glowy eyes, blue or purple skin, hooves, horns, and tails.

Adam had to leave for work in the morning, so he and I turned in at 3 a.m. while everyone else kept playing until who knows how long. I stayed for a while the next day and watched two rerun episodes of America’s Next Top Model. It was the season with Eva, in case anyone else watches it. That show is sort of a guilty pleasure of mine. It’s fun to laugh at the stupidity of the girls and all the petty drama between them.
