A walk in Feralas

So, I totally found Pizzy again today, and we totally decided to go to Feralas so we could ride on a boat and take a walk on the beach. I really wish he'd come up with some ideas other than killing crap. Anyway! It was kind of awkward at first, and then I asked him to cut a gem for me after we got off the boat. He warmed up to that, even if I did fall asleep while I was doing it.

And then we totally saw this school of Stonescale Eels, but it's not like either of us know what to do with a fishing pole. And OH MY GOSH, you guys, it was so totally cute. He made himself invisible and snuck into the water and threw a bomb and brought me back a fish head. I mean, OK, yeah, a charred fish head is kinda gross, but the whole thing was just kinda sweet, you know?

ANYWAY, so we totally started walking, and we downed a sea giant and a couple elementals just for kicks. Then we just kinda found a log and sat and watched them. They didn't even notice us, just stomping back and forth and everything. And then... Pizmo brought up the letter I sent him. See, the other night he asked me why I liked spending time with him, and I was thinking about it, and I kinda ended up writing this huge letter talking about stuff that had happened since I saw him last. And the IDEA was to show that Zandramas was a pud and Pizmo is totally opposite and everything, but, uh, I may have gotten carried away. Maybe.

So, we got to talking, and he was kinda confused why I would write so much. Well, yeah, no kidding - hello baggage! At first he thought it was cause I thought he'd do all those things. Holy NO, totally the OPPOSITE of what I'm trying to say! So I said that I wouldn't have seen him in the same light if I hadn't gone through all that stuff.

Somehow, FINALLY, it totally got through to him what I was trying to say. And he said he didn't know he had been through so much stuff; he'd assumed that I was living a domesticated dream or whatever. We both felt bad for not keeping in touch, but I mean, what kind of guy stays in touch with a girl after she's married?

And so then, in light of all this, I told him that if he totally wanted to just keep things on a friendship level, then I would so totally understand. Cause this is a lot, you know? And you know what? He was TOTALLY cool with it! He said that he felt sad that I was sad, and that he thought maybe he could make me smile. OH MY GOSH, isn't that totally the sweetest thing EVER?

He asked if I was still totally sad, and I told him that it's good to learn from my mistakes, but I don't want that stuff to hold me back. I totally had a conversation with Kitty-Kaetta before we went out today, and she was all, holy crap, I would never date him, because I totally don't want to be hurt again. But I mean, if the potential for total awesome happiness is there, then, shouldn't you take it?

It was just totally magical, and not in a PEWPEWPEW kinda way. I wish that the evening never had to end. Oh my gosh, I'm glad I didn't let some of his social awkwardness scare me off. And I totally can't wait to see him again.

So, holy crap! It's been like totally forever since I wrote anything here! And it's so totally funny to read those last posts, because Curator is like the easiest guy to kill EVER! We totally waste everything in Karazhan and Gruul's lair, and right now we're totally exploring SERPENTSHRINE CAVERN! There are these uber naga there, and I guess spore bats are totally in or something, cause they have some mean ones.

But, OH MAN! We totally found this strange pool of water, and Tarquin was all, GUYS, let's totally fish! And so we went fishing and this CREEPY THING jumped out of the water! And he totally tried to eat Lightlance's face! And so we're like, OMG, uncool, PEWPEWPEW! And so the thing shot water at us but we were way too smart and we jumped in the water even though it was totally scalding hot! And so then the thing was like RAWR and he made a funny sound and totally dove into the water and then all these NAGA started coming after us! And we were like WHOA and HOLY CRAP cause they totally kicked our butts! So yeah, we were all defeated and stuff, but dang it, we're gonna go back and kill this evil fish thing ONCE AND FOR ALL!

An unexpected turn of events

So, oh my gosh, it'd been more than a WEEK and Pizmo still hadn't contacted me, even though I'd been totally reminding him and stuff. I mean, I'd invite him to dinner and all, but when he doesn't even tell me when he's free, it's TOTALLY hard, GOSH!

But anyways! Today Tarq was all like, hey, let's go beat up the Nexus-Prince guy inside of the Mana Tombs of Auchidoun. And I'm all OK! Sounds fun! And so I totally went. And you know who was there? PIZMO! And so I was all, dude, why haven't you contacted me for dinner and crap, and he gave excuses and stuff, and so I finally put my foot down and said AS SOON AS this Nexus-Prince and his multi-headed dog is dead, then we are TOTALLY having dinner WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT! Man, I totally wouldn't have this reputation for bossiness if people would just get off their duffs and DO STUFF!

Anyway! So, we kicked some butt, and then I dropped by the Lower City to get some munchies (I'll learn to cook someday, I swear), and headed off to Nagrand! I totally set up my picnic basket on one of those little floating island thingees above Telaar. I even totally dismissed my imp, even though he helps me stay awake so well, because I know that people are totally weirded out by having a demon hang around.

SO! Pizmo shows up, and I give him dinner, he conjures me some water, etc. etc. I think I must have done all the talking. He seemed kind of nervous, and he was sweating like a boar, and it was all kind of awkward. And so, at first I thought "DUDE, Duerma, totally lost cause." But then I thought, maybe he's just kind of wigged out by just sitting and eating? Maybe he'd totally loosen up if there was activity involved or something! So when we finished eating, I told him that we'd go do sometihng in the evening, so STICK AROUND!

So, I totally picked up Wynni from her playgroup and we had some rockin' mother-daughter time, and then I put her to bed, and I tracked down Pizmo again. I totally ran into one of my old friends - Sevelia - at the bank, and we were chatting and everything and Pizmo totally thought he could bugger off, but I told him NO, we are going to go SWIMMING!

So I called for Tootsie and we totally took off for Lake Jorune, which is right above the Horde town in Terokkar. No one was there except a bunch of friendly Arakkoa guys! I totally ducked into one of their huts to put on my wicked awesome swimsuit. And he shows up and is ready to dive in with full robes! I'm like, dude, that's OK for the odd adventuring situation, but they totally weigh you down and stuff. And he freaked out but with coaxing I managed to get him down to his pants. So then we jumped in, and swam around the lake, and watched fishes and splashed and stuff, which was totally fun until he started turning blue. Ooops.

So, we get out and we sit down by a fire and we started talking - I can't even remember what about. OH DUH! My narcolepsy! Cause I kept falling asleep all the time! So I told him stories of what it was like before I was a warlock and stuff. And eventually he got tired of poking me awake so he just kind of held onto my hand, which was kind of nice. And then he started talking about making a device that would electroshock me awake so I didn't have to rely on demons and stuff, and he touched my neck, and... Mmm, hormones.

Given his shyness and stuff, I figured the only way to find out if there was any possibility of romantic interactions was to take matters into my own hands. Er, lips. So, I leaned over and I kissed him good. He was totally surprised - but in a good way and stuff! Long story short, we agreed to mutual romantic interest in each other and did a lot of smooching.

This is totally not how I expected yesterday to turn out - but I am SO not complaining. Looks like I gotta buy ice cream for everyone!

An old face for killing Gruul

So, tonight was our weekly foray into the Dragonkiller's lair to kick his trash and take his stuff, because Gronns are ugly and they smell funny. And of course we totally won and got nifty things and all. But that's not important! Well, I mean, being TOTALLY AWESOME is always important, but I mean, that's not the point of this post!

So, waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day of the Gnomish Citizen's Council, I met all of these TOTALLY amazing gnomes! And one of them was this guy named Pizmo, who was endearing in an odd sort of way. Well, guess what! He TOTALLY came to help us kill the ogres and stuff! And so I started asking him about what he's been doing and all, and he's like a totally amazing business guy. Pizmo's Gemmies and Jewels! I think I mighta bought stuff from him before and totally didn't even know. So yeah. And after all this time, he's not married or anything either.

So I got to thinking. I mean, he was totally a nice guy before - I'd have considered him a friend and stuff. And he's established, stable, and seems to have a real handle on things. I'm thinking I should get to know him better. I mean, worst that happens is that I have a good friend that I can call on when I feel like blowing the crap out of some blood elves or whatever, but best case scenario... Wynni gets a new daddy. A real daddy, not some numbskull who runs off because he thinks dragons are talking to him in his head. And I get to be not lonely anymore. I mean, I have tons of amazing friends and the massive army I help command every week and I'm TOTALLY the Emissary for the Tower and stuff... but I'm also a woman. And it's been years since I've had someone that I REALLY cared for, who cared back and stuff.

OK, so now I'm totally putting the rocket car before the steam engine, but I mean, it's totally worth a shot, right? So I told him to ask me to dinner. We'll see what happens.
