First level mage seeks quest to fail at...
... Well I'm not sure if my internet problems were the providers fault, the modem's fault, or the work of a gypsy curse, but when I plugged the new modem in yesterday afternoon everything was hunky and/or dory again. At least as much as it had been before. Sure the system still shut down at 8.30pm and hadn't come back when I went to bed at eleven, but at least it was there again this morning ... a definite improvement on what it was doing before.
So I'm forced to do something I'm loath to ... I'm forced to apologise to the internet provider. I'm sorry, Mr Internet Provider, it looks like it may have been the modem's fault after all. Unless the problem is that the system got repaired in between when I unplugged the old one and set up the new one. Or unless you guys got so fed up with me calling about the service dropping out that you shot a bolt of electricity down the phone line to fry my poor modem as an act of vigilante justice. If that's the case, than I withdraw my accusation withdrawl.
But once the infernal internet system from the nether reaches of a hell dimension came back online, I got to do something that I've been meaning to do for a very long time. I got to try out World of Warcraft!
I can totally see why people become so addicted to that game. Doofus and SIL helped walk me through the steps of setting up a character and then taught me how to operate it. We even got to go on a quest or two and check out the local tavern. It's very intricate, isn't it! Kind of puts "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiago" into perspective.
I've only got a 10 day visitor pass so when that runs out I guess I'll have to decide if I want to keep playing. Of course, everyone keeps warning me that if I start playing it, it'll become an obsession because it hits everyone like that. And I need another obsession like I need a hole in the head. But we'll see. If at the end of the ten days I can't live without it, I'll have to look into signing up properly...

I've claimed another victim HaHaHaHaHaHa
I am so very very sorry. Let me put it this way. My husband and I are going to be getting another computer - forgoing Christmas for each other to come up with the money - so we can be on at the same time. And play. We are obsessed. Level 23 & 14 Paladin here. (He's a 26 Warrrior, 7 Paladin). Let me lead you... Hi, My name's Michele, and I'm a WoW-aholic.
