Snow is White

College, Computing, Danni, Gaming, Real Life, World of Warcraft

I think I may have overdone it yesterday, as I’ve spent more time today asleep than I have awake. I even missed Computing at college. Whoops. I am also in a lot more pain than normal, which is bad. I am growly and grizzly, and struggling to get my thoughts into words. Instead of doing productive things, like homework or studying for Monday’s test, I’ve been levelling another WoW character (a Night Elf Priestess called Danní… humm…) on a US realm, so I don’t have to deal with Real ID or Guild stuff. Yes, I’m still upset. Yes, I’m fully aware that I’m being completely and totally irrational, but right now I feel guilty and useless and don’t want to upset other people. Funny what pain can do to you. Oh, and I’ve been watching some Dollhouse, just because it’s awesome.

I upset Johan today. This is very bad.

There is a lot of snow outside. Apparently it will stay outside for several days. That makes getting out difficult. Maybe I stay inside.

World go Boom

College, Computing, Danni, Interface, Physical Disability, Real Life, World of Warcraft

Today the world of Azeroth was torn apart when Deathwing decided he was going to burst out and destroy things. I would be playing in World of Warcraft, but I got upset by something some people in my guild did and so I’m avoiding it, in case I accidently insult or upset anyone.

Computing this morning was… well, I’m not sure, as I was half asleep. I can vaguely recall writing some words for a test, but that’s about it. I’m sure we were taught stuff, but I now have no recollection of the lesson. For Enrichment, we went to Quasar Laser, and it was a lot of fun. I came fifth overall- not bad considering I was being pushed by Louise (she was excellent at it) and was the easiest target in the game. I did “kill” a lot of people though, and once deactivated the other team’s base. We won, by a lot (over 600 points).

Came home via the MetroCentre. Johan bought some new boots and some wellies, as his shoes are falling to pieces. It was snowing today, and his feet got soaked. I have ordered a wheelchair leg cosy as I do not want to try this winter without something to keep my legs warm, and it’s waterproof as well.

I overdid it today. The Quasar Laser took an awful lot out of me, and I’m really glad I don’t have a lesson until tomorrow evening. My homework will have to wait, as my head went boom while we were in the MetroCentre and it hasn’t recovered yet. I am also in a lot of pain, as I moved too much. When I’m in pain I get rather grumpy and irritable. I also still have a cold, which is better than it was last week but is still making me feel lousy. I just wish painkillers that worked had been invented by now.

Yay! College!

Made it to college today. Not only that, but was early enough to have my lunch and a chat in Interface. It was fun. Went to Computing and we had a test on output devices… where I wrote words and hoped that at least some of them made some sense in relation to the questions (if I fail, it was because I was off all last week :P). I also got my other test back, the one I thought I’d failed on. I got 28/35, and Simin says I’m on course for an A. I’m slightly confused (especially on how I got that high a score), but happy at the same time.

After Computing we had Enterprise, where I worked on the Interface website for a bit. I need to email/ask Nicola to see if I can steal some photos for the website, and also to ask her if she has any suggestions for content, as I want to it to be useful. Also, if she agrees, I want to get it a proper domain name and hand it over to the staff as a proper website for Interface.

Also in college, I found out more about the Christmas activities. There is going to be a Christmas party, and I’m allowed to invite one guest. My problem is that Vicky wants to come, but Johan has to take me to college and pick me up. I will speak to the people at college to see if we can sort something out. I will have to miss the first 45 minutes anyway, as I have Computing on that day (it’s a Thursday).

The journey home was mostly uneventful, though the lift at Monument was out of order so we had to jump back onto the Metro and get off at Haymarket. Oh, and I had a panic attack at Chichester because it was swarming with police.

Right now, I’m in Ice Crown Citadel, trying to kill the Lich King. I guess I best go back and shield people.

Burn The World

College, Computing, Danni, Real Life

Still tired. Still sleeping lots. Did manage to go to Asda today though, and now have more bras, a new pair of jeans (that fit properly, which means I can’t wear leggings underneath but they’re okay for warmer winter days) and a sparkly hat 😀 We also got some bread and cheese for lunch tomorrow, and some chocolate. Johan got a bin for next to his computer desk, and a pair of pirate slippers (he’s annoyed about having to go to the boys section for shoes, but I like it as I don’t have to pay VAT on them :P).

Tomorrow I have college. I also have tests to catch up with in Computing, so I’ll need to revise for them. There shouldn’t be anything too difficult in them (input, output and storage devices) but with the way my brain is at the moment I’m not taking anything for granted. I will be going in tomorrow, so need to get my clothes ready tonight.

Going to go on Facebook now for a bit, and also create my cyber-stalking page on here. I’ve only been meaning to do so since August…

WTB Greater Heal, will pay 5000g!

College, Danni, Real Life, World of Warcraft

My World of Warcraft character currently has 5620 gold, so if someone can give me a (real life) Greater Heal then I will be very grateful, and still have 600 gold left.

I’m still ill, though slightly better than yesterday. I didn’t go to college today, but I am going next Monday, even if Johan has to take me in my pyjamas (I’m rather stubborn). It probably helps though that half my pyjamas consist of t-shirt + plain bottoms, and I’d have to chuck on a pair of trousers as my legs freeze in the wheelchair. Of course, getting dressed before leaving the house will be preferable.

I am worried about the work I’ve missed. Also, because I was sick last night after taking my medication I didn’t absorb all of it, so my head has been really noisy and I’ve been rather emotional today. The emotional bit isn’t helped by feeling so crappy.

I was in World of Warcraft this evening, and we were in Trial of the Crusader. Very easy instance, and I managed to do nearly half the healing most fights. In the middle of it, my GM ticket about stuff was answered, and I got angry- not so much with the GM as with Blizzard, and their completely unfair thinking. My original issue was that in Ironforge, the pre-Cataclysm elemental event was broken, with the rifts during the city invasion not showing up. He told me this would be fixed before the end of the event, so that was good. While I was waiting for the reply, we had an issue where Icehowl in TotC couldn’t be skinned, as the level required has been upped to 470. This isn’t fair, as you can’t get level 470 until Cataclysm, and Icehowl is a Wrath boss (the highest Wrath level is 450, which is what used to be required). Cataclysm isn’t even out yet. The GM said that it was because of the Cataclysm (which hasn’t happened yet, and doesn’t affect Northrend) and it’s not going to be fixed. This is really unfair, and I’m angry. Arg.
