Update Time
by Sorean on Feb.21, 2010, under Personal, World of Warcraft
I’ve been keeping busy and honestly, it’s hard to find a few spare moments to myself except for times like right now.
It’s a Sunday afternoon, I just got back from having my car starter installed, finished laundry, done all my contract work for the time being but there will be more to come, and finished vacuuming. Right now, I have no obligations and time to relax. I don’t know why I keep returning to this topic, but it feels like some kind of justification to myself that I can maintain this current lifestyle, maybe it’s so that I can look back at it when I retire and reflect on the times where I have/had so much to do that I can remember that I’ve lived a pretty busy/full life.
But as it stands, the past few days and weeks have been fun and filled with the Olympics, the games are definitely fun to watch and tonight Canada plays the US. The headliner match. It should be a great game 😀
World of Warcraft wise, my guild and I are still in the top 100 of 10-strict guilds in the world. We do well, but with some personnel problems, we haven’t been able to finish these past few days. So close to the end that I can taste it, but lack of people make it so that we can’t see it. I have a solid core minus one spot at the moment. We’ll see how that goes. The problem I have is that one of these spots is a friend of mine in real life. Time will tell how things go down. I just know that my time is drawing to a bit of an end with this game and there are many console games for me to attend to once I am done with it.
Today is also 6 months with that special lady of mine, time flies as it hasn’t seemed like that long. Every day I think of her and it just seems to get better and better each day. We’ll see how this goes, but I’ve got a good feeling about it so far 🙂

Something got corrupted with the theme or something when I was upgrading, thankfully I was able to save most of the site, I’ll just be customizing it again over the next few days.
Uhhh Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Okay so I’m a few weeks late on both counts, but it’s been a little crazy since the last post.
Things of note, Christmas was spent with the girlfriend at her mom’s place with her family. It was pretty good and felt pretty natural, it’s weird how comfortable this relationship is. She was also kicked out of rez for the holidays so she’s been living with me for almost a month now, I only realized earlier this week that it’s been any kind of prolonged time. The time has simply just disappeared, I guess that shows how right this really is.
I took two weeks off at the time and pretty much stayed at home, enjoyed the time with the girlfriend and essentially geeked out. Got Dragon Age: Origins for Christmas from an awesome friend and it is one of the better RPG’s that I’ve played in recent memory. The story isn’t bad, but what I really like is the combat system. You have a party of 4, but can only control 1 at a time. Well what do the other 3 do? They do exactly what you program them to do. For example, if their own health is <50% they are supposed to use the least powerful healing potion. If their health is >50% it goes to the next line. The programmer in me saw that and drooled a little with excitement. Finally a way to automate party members so that you can focus and swap as needed. Such a great game.
The final weight count on Jan 1st was 209. Stupid holiday weight 😛 New goal is 200 by the end of March, keep in mind I’m not going at this with some hardcore tenacity but a relaxed pace. It will come in time, the goal for the end of the year (Dec 31) is going to be 190. If I can hit that, and maintain it, I’ll be a happy little boy.
New Year’s Eve consisted of 3 different events, a sushi dinner out with one group, hitting up one party with another group before ending up at a house party for the countdown. Chrystal and I arrived with 30 minutes to spare on the countdown. Pretty awesome timing I have to say. We were there chatting and just hanging around until 3:30 in the morning, I enjoy the company of those guys a lot.
Random side note: I’m starting to like Tantra, it seems to be a bar where things happen 😛 Went to see Markus Schulz a few weekends ago. These two girls were just going at it. And they didn’t even know each other before the night. The reason I know that is because my roommate is friends with one of the girl’s friends that she came with. Tall blonde and short little brunette were there like a lesbian couple, funny thing? The tall blonde had some guy she was there with, I assume boyfriend because she was trying to reassure him that nothing was a big deal right beside me. According to my roommate, they were going down on each other in the corner of a bar earlier. During one of my random glances over them, I saw a skirt and a wrist if you catch my drift. Man bars are fun 😀
Well with that I am rambling too much and I bid everyone a great start to the new year, that this year bring you all that you want, and everything that you didn’t even think you needed.

Really dude? Really?

So this weekend was a surprise birthday party for a friend of mine, limo ride, bar, dancing, general good times. Sadly I had to skip out on the limo ride but that’s besides the point.
So we’re all at the club, dancing having fun and this girl we didn’t know took notice of me and liked my dancing, she made note to tell me this several times and mentioned it to my friend Christine a few times too. She turned away from her group of friends and started dancing with me and my friends. Me being laid back and pretty easy going danced with this girl for a while, probably 2 or 3 songs and she just really liked the way I danced, or as the way my friend Christine put it later, “she was pretty much all over/into you”. The girl was pretty cute, but I don’t remember much, aside that her name was Christine too, brunette hair, about 5′ 4″ish. Not even sure I’d recognize her if I passed her in the street 😛
Anyway a few of the guys in her little circle start dance with us and I’m cool with it, but I could see that her look immediately darkened, I felt sorry for her, they sorta ruined her game (not like I would have done anything, I am in an excellent relationship after all). Then the unthinkable happened, one of the guys called me out to dance against me, I was like “wtf?!” this shit never happens in real life. I mean you see it in the moives a lot, but for real? I laughed at the guy and pretty much turned my back to him and resumed dancing with my friends. I didn’t dance with the girl again, which was too bad for her 😉 Later on in the night I caught 2 of the guys trying to stare me down too, which I just glazed over them because really, they don’t mean jack to me. I don’t know them and was out having fun and a good time.
This little encounter did do wonders for my ego though 😛 Solidified that I’m a good enough dancer at least in the eyes of others, good enough looking that some random girl would want to get with me, and enough of a threat to other guys that they feel the need to assert themselves. Now if I was single the night probably would have played out differently, but at the end of the night, I went home to my girl.
Speaking of whom, the relationship has progressed to the next stage, we use the Love word now 😛 Sappy and girly I know, but it needed to be said. I really couldn’t imaging being with anyone else. This girl is simply perfect for me. It’s like we were made for each other, weird I know, and yes it’s only been 3+ months, not even 4 yet, but I couldn’t imagine life without this wonderful woman in my life.

How predictable
by Sorean on Nov.02, 2009, under Personal, World of Warcraft
I seem, when things are going well this gets neglected and I find less time to take care of this blog to keep people up to date on what goes on in my life.
So it’s been just over a month since I posted, however I honestly could not be a happier person. The relationship I have with my girlfriend is nothing short of amazing. I could not be a happier guy. During the week she goes to school but the weekends are generally spent with me. Granted it’s not really like we’re “dating” in the traditional sense, but it’s like we skipped all the awkwardness of everything. Even she has told me this, but I don’t feel like we’ve lost any kind of experience. We’re together in a much closer capacity sooner, I don’t see the loss, only a gain of the relationship going very well. She has few friends, but they’re good people. She’s getting along with my friends pretty well so it’s been going great on the overall scale. We’re supposed to be taking a trip up to Edmonton to do the waterpark thing with a few friends in a few weekends from now, hopefully I’ll get some pictures from that to share with people.
On the weight loss front, I clocked in at 209 last Wednesday, but it’s been a bad few days of eating since then so I’m not sure where I’m sitting at presently, but I feel that the weight has gone back up. 200 by the end of the year, that’s the goal, if I can’t hit it, I owe 2 friends 20 bucks each. If I can drop to 190, they both will give me 100 each. Pretty good incentive if you ask me. I just need to work hard on it, we’ll see though. I’m pretty sure I can hit the 200 mark, even with a Christmas dinner in there and a New Years Eve party, though I need to find something to do for it this year.
For Halloween I dressed up as Captain Hammer, if you don’t know who that is, look it up 😛
Because I my guild and I are doing better I have to mention it, we’re worldwide top 100 now, and top 50 in the US for rankings for 10 man only guilds. It’s funny how some don’t acknowledge this fact, but it does make the game a bit different for those at this level. We’re literally 2 bosses away from being finished with the current tier of content, it feels good to be a part of a group of people that can do this, sadly I can feel my time with multi-player video games might be coming to a close. I enjoy them, I enjoy leading people, and we have a great crew, but it’s starting to wear on me. I want to play games for fun, not to drive people to do well. At the same time I don’t want to let this group of people down. End of this expansion, that’s it, I’ll see what else I have time for then.

Very loudly and seems to happen very quickly during the spring and fall seasons.
The relationship with my girl has progressed amazingly well and I could not be in a happier place. She is almost perfect, I say almost because she’s not a Rider fan or watches hockey, but she’ll tolerate it which is all that I can ask for.
So it’s been almost a month since my last post, what has gone on? Really nothing out of the normal. Work during the day, contract work in my spare time. Raiding, volleyball, and friends take up the rest of the time. Things of note in those events….. my grammar could use a little work. Mostly with comma placement, that comes from the contract work, but I still think that my grammar is still fairly strong compared to most.
Saw Cloudy with a chance of meatballs. The gf’s first 3D movie and she loved it.
Anyway time to get back to work.

So in the past 2 weeks I’ve met and built an amazing relationship with a wonderful girl. Laugh all you will but we technically met through WoW. She’s one of my guildies. I don’t know what I can really say about this girl except she makes me extremely happy and it’s crazy how quickly the relationship has progressed. It’s like we skipped through all the awkwardness and just get along great. She plays WoW, is going to school with a goal in mind, down to earth, practical, and is simply amazing.
So in the short 2 1/2 weeks we’ve been dating I’ve already been out camping and met her mother…. what an interesting meeting that was. Best joke of the night though, the set up is that the last name of the girl I’m dating is Sales, yes very simple 🙂 Anyway, most of them had been drinking and at one point in the night her mom brought up that she’s dating a guy that’s in marketing. She quickly follows that up with, “I guess he can say he’s been in Sales now too” talk about an almost awkward place to be. Oh yeah, at one point too since we’re all in the tent, her mom was spread eagled, clothed though, about 2 feet from me… that was interesting. But overall a great time. Oh she even cooked dinner last night, she’s just simply amazing. Pretty witty as well.
I swear I could not be a luckier guy in the world.
Speaking of WoW, to continue on with the last post we’re doing great progress wise 😀 Still top on our server for 10 man guilds. Top 100 in the US, but the link in the previous ranking speak for themselves. Need to put the guild link in the welcome I think. Or find some way of putting in the script onto one of the pages for guild rankings 😀
