Break from WoW

So.. I have a few free months of WoW from my brother and his friend.  I think.  Erik said he and Marshall were going to give WoW another month and see what happened.  But I think they are going to leave for the new Star Wars MMO.  But anyway… Now I need a break from WoW :(  So I played play STO and SC2 for a little while.  My STO 5-day trial is done and I miss it already. :(  I really enjoy the “geek out” factor I get from it.  I never really had that playing WoW.  Of course, I hadn’t been a WoW fan since I was a toddler.  Nope, that was Star Trek.  I dunno what to do!  Maybe it is because STO is new and shiny.  I’ll give it a few days and we’ll see if I still want it..  Not that I have the money to buy it right now..

So! STO. I didn’t get past Lt. Commander Rank 8 because I didn’t crack out that much. But one of the last quests I did was going to the Gateway System to go back in time through the Guardian of Forever, which had me totally flipping with nerd happiness. BUT!! Even beyond that.. I got to rescue Kirk’s Enterprise from a Klingon attack before zipping off to save a kidnapped NPC. Then come back to Gateway only to find more Klingon ships and then get saved by the Enterprise in turn! I totally geeked out. I mean, seriously.. AHHHH!!!! That’s so cool!!

I should have between 60 and 80 dollars coming to me for babysitting the last two weeks.  It will be 80 as of Sunday.  I hope they didn’t forget to pay me. :(

Az and I are trying to earn money anyway we can at this point : /  We’re so short on money that we might have to get rid of the net for a little while just to make ends meet.  Then where would I be?  Can’t build webpages. Can’t talk to family..  I can’t keep getting cash from my parents forever.. but there are no jobs here to be had.. So what can I do?  Even the retail stores have stopped taking applications and no one even responds to my resume.  It’s disheartening.  I guess I can go back to school now…  Maybe.  I’ll have to go out to the San Marcos campus and ask for help.

DnD Day..

It’s the Friday of the weekend that Gaz’s LARP game doesn’t run.  So it’s DnD time.  I usually get into it after it gets going, but usually before had I’m really not feeling up to it.  I dunno why.  I have fun.. I guess I just have other things on my mind in dire need of attention.. Like cleaning my horribly dirty house. *sigh*  I get one room clean and another one gets trashed.  At least Tony is getting his room clean today and he’s got clean school clothes for the next week.  And I can do a ton of laundry on Monday and Tuesday again, supposing it doesn’t raid.. Which it very well might.  It’s looking like it wants to right now.

As a side note:  I haven’t had a smoke in three days. : /  I’m having some monster cravings right now.  Go Go Mr. Coffee Pot!

I got bored waiting for the game to start, so I played around in Photoshop.
