Fish Sticks and Green Jello

You know that freshly mown grass smell that reminds you of summer and all the good summery things you used to do? When you smell something that reminds you of somethin good or hear a song that reminds you of good times? When I was a kid my mom used to wear this perfume all the time. It was tea something... anyways for years after she died I'd catch a whiff of something like it here or there and it would spark all kinds of memories and emotions for me. In a good way.

I'm a closet Robbie Williams fan... okay, not so much in the closet about it. There, I said it. Maybe I've said it on here before but whatever... I got an urge to listen to some RW tonight and boy did it bring back memories for me. Back a few years ago when I got this giant urge to go to Europe and then I did. :) I'm starting to get that itch again, particularly after listening to all this stuff. You can mock me for liking Robbie Williams but he has great songs. So there.

Anyways, I got the warm fuzzies listening to this stuff. Music is so great. You can get lost in it. <3<3 Which reminds me, this Friday we'll be going to Not So Silent Night, put on by Live 105 in SF. I'm really looking forward to seeing Death Cab for Cutie finally. The new Death Cab album is so good. Really beautiful. The lyrics are great too, they definitely have meaning for me. This is the perfect time to be listening to it I think.

This is has been a weird couple of months btw. Some long term couples I know have broken up. Suddenly people are single everywhere I look. Even famous people! Jen and Brad! Eddie and Valerie! Christina Applegate and hubby! Nicole and DJ AM! Nick and Jessica! Divorce, breakups, you name it. Makes me glad I'm still single. I've got to be purposely single at this point with the way I play World of Warcraft in every spare moment I have. I've had opportunities in the last few months that I've bailed on or not even followed up at all on. Just haven't been into it. It also seems if there IS one person I like it doesn't work out for some reason or another... and they tend to be jackasses. I'm attracted to immature jackasses. On that note. I'm gonna go listen to Death Cab and fall asleep.

Soul Meets Body - Death Cab for Cutie (Download this Song!)

I want to live where soul meets body
and let the sun wrap its arms around me
and bathe my skin in water cool and cleansing
and feel, feel what it's like to be new
cuz in my head there's a Greyhound station
where I set my thoughts to far off destinations
so they may have a chance of finding a place
where they're far more suited than here

I cannot guess
what we'll discover
when we turn the dirt
with our palms cupped like shovels
but I know our filthy hands
can wash one another's
and not one speck will remain

I do believe it's true
that there are roads left in both of our shoes
but if the silence takes you
then I hope it takes me too
so brown eyes I'll hold you near
cuz you're the only song I want to hear
a melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
where soul meets body
where soul meets body
where soul meets body

and I do believe it's true
that there are roads left in both of our shoes
but if the silence takes you
then I hope it takes me too
so brown eyes I'll hold you near
cuz you're the only song I want to hear
a melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
a melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
a melody softly soaring through my atmosphere
a melody softly soaring through my atmosphere.

After a long absence lost in Azeroth I re-emerge however briefly to bring to you a new post and a new template for my blog. I was so sick of that old dull one that I suddenly was inspired to find this new template and apply it. I already know some of you are going to complain about it. Yes the columns are a bit close together but hey, I didn't design it and I'm not going to fix that part of it... yet. For now that's what ya get!

Although! FYI... Yes I do know that some of my old posts/photos do NOT work with this template. To Be Fixed Later!

In other news, there is no big news. I'm starting to prep for my annual trip back to Virgina for Xmas. I was just there in October for my Dad's brain biopsy. It will be great to spend more time with my Dad though. Rough year for my family with his brain tumor scare. Although it's not a tumor (channel Arnold in Kindergarten Cop here) we're still not sure if it was a reaction to his arthritis medicine (remicaid) or if it's MS. We're still waiting for the prognosis.

Other than that and toiling through work daily I pretty much eat, sleep and breath World of Warcraft. It's hard to explain how addictive it is to people that don't play video games. A lot of games are really addicting but after a period of time (months maybe) you get burned out and move on to the next one. This game just keeps growing and growing and you can't get free of it! They're even planning an expansion of it next year. Gah. On the one hand I save money because I never leave the house! On the other hand I need to get a life. I got a new computer though from Dell. Dual Core baybee! 24" Wide Screen monitor! Makes my game playing THAT much better.

Okay so here's a little game info for you if you happen to be a WoW player. Me and some Microsofties have a guild that we started recently. We're called Unrestrained. If you play on Silvermoon and you're interested come check out our guild site at http://unrestrained.guildportal.com or else PST me in-game. Me being, Winsomewitch.

Okay so there you have it! New blog look, new post! I'll leave you with a little pic of my mage from my Emp run in BRD:
