Wow this homework is awesome! What is the geekiest thing about you? @missy @rambo @charmaine
I feel like my GEEKIST days are actually behind me,like now doesn't allow me to obsess over them as much as I use to.. Don't get me wrong I still love a lot of geeky things now, Star Warz, Star Trek, reading, cult cartoons, fan fiction of Kingdom Hearts and well any yoai yuri fan fic I could find, Harry Potter ect But there use to be something bigger... and that was....
I feel like my heart aches because I do actually miss playing WoW quite a lot.. I try not to dwell on it because it compltely consumed my soul for the most important years of my schooling.
That screen shot is of me and my sisters character hanging out in Northrend back when Wrath of the Lich King had just come out. With our pets! I was obsessed with achievements and pets. aside from the usual things of daily quests, XP, epic gear and raids.
But what made this game so great for me was that my whole family played! minus my mom! we would be allowed to take days off school when expansions came out and move all our computers into my dads office and me, my sister, my brother and dad would play together. we were mostly in the same guilds and helped each other! It was one of the first things that started to mend my relationship with my Dad.
Some days I would log in and find my character had been given all new gear or others that all my money was gone so dad could buy an epic mount.. If our parents ever went away we would be given a list of dad's daily quests for his reputation and professions.
I was a blood elf (because theyre sexy) rouge and I loved it more than any other class! I loved dominating the dps in raids and being sneaky! my name was Jastiria and my character still exists today just in a deactivated account that's probably still under my dads email. I meet some of my guild friends from WoW in real life.. with my dad of course the ones that lived in Australia and would pass through Sydney. My sister even meet a bunch of them from New Zealand too.
My sister was a healer, my dad was a tank and my brother was always a bunch of things, he had many characters. Jastiria was my main and I couldnt get into any other character because I had done her the hard way, I was never carried through raids or had everything bought from me. Dad helped out sometimes but much like in my real life I got to the end game all by myself with the standard quests and having the shit ganked out of me in Tarren Mill haha Man I miss it!
I however got to my peak of gaming during my HSC for everyone not in Australia The Higher School Certificate and my last year of High School. My exam study time tables had sections in them for WoW, my holidays were made up of 14 hour playing days and dreams about everything I needed to do the next day in WoW. My brother dropped off playing before the rest of us.. For me I think it was my high school results that slowed my gaming.. and That I had to start paying for my account and didnt have a job haha
Oh also I was For the Horde!
Everyone in my family was apart of the horde and fact is we would not of been okay with any of us moving over to the Alliance. My brother made a character once and we shunned him for it badly! We had a lot of loyalty. I still consider getting a horde tattoo!
I was a jeweler and a miner as they went hand in hand,I think my dad was too. I LOVED the season changes. I loved christmas on WoW and Valentines day, I lvoed that it was like a whole other world!
If I had liked boys in high school I would of been high on their lists as I was constantly talking with the most popular guys in school about WoW they only got into way after I did and were on a different server but it meant we had a lot to talk about.. being a lesbian too I think a few may of (or so I was told) fell in love with me but I just thought it was great! to have so many people to talk to about WoW.
It was such a great time I miss it! But to this day it was my geekiest time in life. Not just with Wow but through high school I was a big gamer, computer gamer that is. I could never get into consoles. I loved the Half Life series, Quake and so many other games that my dad played from when I was young.
FOR THE HORDE
