I’m so bored. Really. You know those moments when you don’t really feel like doing anything but you want something to do? Yeah, that’s what I’m going through right now. It doesn’t help that tonight’s Grey’s was a rerun. Ugh! Matt and I laid in bed to watch it and it was the first one of the season. I really hope I don’t have to wait too long to see the last part of the last episode. It had the best cliffhanger at the end!

I’m a bit sore. So far this week, I’ve went to the gym twice. Tomorrow will make my third day. Wednesday was a rough day for me. I got there and ran on the treadmill, then tried to go on the bike, and it just didn’t feel like it was working. I ended up talking to the fitness manager and crying. I felt like such a baby! She reassured me that it happens a lot and that it’s not an easy thing to do. Then she took me in the personal training room and weighed me and got my body fat percentage and gave me a goal to work for. She said to talk to her around Christmas and we’ll see how I’m progressing. She gave me a fitness plan to work for, too, which helps a lot. I was totally focusing on the wrong thing. It’s no wonder I haven’t seen progress in a couple months! I’m feeling refreshed and just in time, too, for the new month!

Christmas is coming soon. I’m not totally excited about it, just like I haven’t been the past few years, but I’m feeling a bit more excited this year than the past two, so that’s good. I’ve already bought some of Matt’s gifts and wrapped them. I’ve also bought Christmas cards and started addressing them. I’m trying to still force myself out of my “funk” and get happy and excited and be… well, be normal, I guess.

I was thinking today about what it’s like to be unique. I guess I’m unique - there’s nobody just like me in the world. Matt likes me for who I am, and I have a few friends that accept me the way I am, but I get the feeling a lot of people just write me off instead of giving me a chance. This makes me sad, but what’s a girl to do, right? I guess it’s hard for me to tell when I should just give up and when I should be persistent. I don’t want to seem like I don’t care, but I don’t want to come across as annoying, either. I’m so bad at this social thing, really.

I’m impatient… and bored. Just got finished watching Grey’s Anatomy with Matt. This week’s episode was, as always, awesome! I’m dying to see what happens next week!

I’m sitting here waiting for my Everquest II to update. It’s going so slooooooow. I haven’t played it in, what, a year? But Matt just got cards in the mail today giving us a month (well… almost a month. We have until the 4th of next month…) free! So why not play it, right? I’ve kinda missed it a tiny bit anyway. I liked a few things about it that aren’t quite the same in World of Warcraft. The tradeskills are really nifty, as are the collection things. I didn’t play the game long enough to totally understand it, but it still seemed fun.

Now, World of Warcraft, on the other hand, I understand! Reading the 2.3 PTR Patch Notes made me giggle and smile and yell out random phrases to Matt that he didn’t care to hear! I’m so excited about so many of these changes and can’t wait to see them on the main server. A few of these fantastic changes:

Zul’Aman open.
New 10-person raid instance. Need I say more?

Guild Banks Introduced.
So cool. People have been looking forward to this for ages!

Experience: The amount of experience needed to gain a level has been decreased between levels 20 and 60. In addition, the amount of experience granted by quests has been increased between levels 30 and 60.
For me, this is awesome. I have such a hard time leveling, especially at these levels!

A new flight path has been added to the Rebel Camp in northern Stranglethorn Vale.
This is fantastic. Being an alliance player, I always hated that zone, mostly because there are no convenient flight paths in the north. You either have to run up from Booty Bay (horrible for lower levels, because the things in the far south are such a high level) or run down from Duskwood, which is horrible, even with an epic mount!

Vendor Discounts: All vendors with an associate faction now give discounts at all levels above neutral.
Discounts are always cool.

Daily quests have been added targeting a random battleground for that day. Look for Alliance Brigadier Generals and Horde Warbringers near your faction’s battlemasters in all major capitals.
I love daily quests, and this would give me a chance to enjoy PvP even more than I do now! I like arenas a lot, but battlegrounds drive me bananas. This would make it much more enjoyable for me!

Players will now be able to cast spells for free in the Battleground before it begins.
Yay! I hate buffing my groups in battlegrounds just because it takes all my mana, then I have to waste a water or two, blah blah blah. This will be so much nicer!

Fear Ward is now available to all priests at level 20. Duration reduced to 3 minutes, cooldown increased to 3 minutes.
I know they cut the spell down quite a bit, and it’s not as great as it was when it was dwarf/draenei only, but I don’t care! I’m just excited to get it!

Two-Handed Axes and Two-Handed Maces are now trainable by all Shaman at the appropriate weapon masters. The Enhancement talent has been replaced by Shamanistic Focus. Shamanistic Focus (New Enhancement Talent): After landing a melee critical strike, you enter a Focused state. The Focused state reduces the mana cost of your next Shock spell by 60%.
Heck yes! Thaelani is enhancement right now, and probably will be until the mid/high 60s. I’m always frustrated with the sheer amount of water I have to buy because I run out of mana so quickly. Not to mention I duel-wield on her right now, and have no use for two-handed axes and maces, except for the fact that I used them before I got the duel-wielding talent!

Daily cooking quests are now available from The Rokk in Shattrath City! In addition to gold, you can receive random cooking reagents and new recipes as a reward for completing these quests.
Again, I love daily quests. And I love cooking! Even in WoW! Holy goodness. I can’t even put my excitement into words here.

Duration of wizard and mana oils created by enchanters has been increased.
As a shadow priest, I use a lot of wizard oil. I like the extra boost to my damage, which is also a boost to my mana regen that I provide my party. Having the duration increased makes it so I have to use less, meaning I have to spend less to make it! Win-win, there!

Players can now track fishing nodes. This ability is learned from a journal sometimes found in crates obtained through fishing.
Kim is 375 fishing, and has no gathering professions. I love cooking, which means fishing for the materials to make the food is important. Being able to track nodes for fishing will be so beneficial!

Cooldown removed from Noggenfogger Elixirs. The shrink effect will no longer stack with other shrink effects.
This is just plain cool. I like Noggenfogger and hate having to wait to use another one!

I’ve babbled enough for now. I was just so excited that I had to post some of those!

Coming soon, if anyone’s interested, is a list of my addons and what they do/where to get them. What do you think?

Today was an interesting day. I woke up feeling like crap - I got up, checked my email, and then went right back to bed to watch _____’s Next Top Model. I say “_____” because I watched America’s Next Top Model, Canada’s Next Top Model and Britain’s Next Top Model. I like those shows for some reason - a lot.

And speaking of shows I like a lot, Tonight was the season premiere of Grey’s Anatomy. It was every bit as fantastic as I’d hoped! As I told Amy, whose house I was at when I watched it, the ending made my brain want to explode. So many questions! So few answers! I want more! Next Thursday, please hurry!

In weight-related news, I’m down to 6/10 of a pound from my goal weight for October 1st. I intend to watch everything very closely for the next couple days and do lots of exercise. Keep your fingers crossed, okay?

I seriously made that noise when I read the following episode description for the Season Premiere of Grey’s Anatomy:

“A Change is Gonna Come”

EPISODE PREVIEW
Having just returned from her honeymoon with Meredith, Cristina searches for Burke, but he’s nowhere to be found. Meredith, Cristina, Izzie and Alex spend their first day as residents with their own groups of interns - among the interns are George, repeating his intern year after failing his exams, and Lexie Grey, Meredith’s half-sister whom she has never met. Now that Derek’s relationship with Meredith has reached an emotional impasse, he looks to his fellow doctors for friendship; Bailey wrestles with her place within the hospital now that her former interns report to new Chief Resident Callie; and Richard resumes his position as Chief of Surgery.
TV-14

GEORGE IS BACK! I was incredibly worried that he wouldn’t be. I know a lot of people will be upset that “our” interns are getting their own interns, but I’m excited to see how this plays out.

I’m in a good mood today. Well, I was, because the day’s almost over. But you get the idea.

Matt’s parents left for vacation today. They’ll be gone for a few months, I guess, and we have the apartment all to ourselves. It’s really freeing and I like the way it feels. Plus, I like playing housewife and cleaning and organizing, when I don’t have to worry about other people around watching me do it. It’s fantastic that way.

I need to do some serious farming in World of Warcraft. I need to get my tailoring to 375 so i can learn the last two patterns that I have. I’m at 369 right now, so 6 points to go. I also need to collect a lot of materials and things like that. I have a huge list full.

Katie came over today and hung out. I made fajitas out on the grill and Matt fried some chicken fingers and we had a nice lunch and then we watched some Grey’s Anatomy. She’d never seen it, so it was nice. I think she’ll like it.

Anyway, it’s almost bedtime and I have things I want to do.
