Word of a woman that knows...

The Hunter's Mark today asked what music do you listen to while playing WoW, if any? I've been asking guildies this for a while now, some to the point they want to kill me, I think (Hey, that has to be the reason they drag my undergeared butt into Heroics).

Anyways, as my guild mates know, I'm largely into older music, most of which is older than I am. Fleetwood Mac, I have too many favorites to name. Queen, John Mellencamp (or John Cougar or John Cougar Mellencamp), Madonna, GNR, Def Leppard, Journey, and April Wine.

I also prefer some more modern music, heck, my hunter theme song is an Inkubus Sukkubus song! And I will go into listening kicks, listen to one band back to back until I tire of it, then swap out to another one. I recently went and bought a Journey album because that was what I was craving. If they'd had the right John Mellencamp in stock, I would have gotten that too, but they didn't.

Music for Raids and Instances? Easy for me, since my guild is not using Vent at this time. It would be a mix of GNR, Def Leppard, Inkubus Sukkubus, and April Wine, if I had the brains to mix a cd. My favorite 3 songs, one from each of the older bands... GNR - Sweet Child O' Mine. Def Lepard - Love Bites. April Wine - Sign of the Gypsy Queen. All three can be found easily on youtube.

Sweet Child
Love Bites
Gypsy Queen

And I was kind enough to track down the studio made video from Youtube. Some of the live versions just aren't as good. If you want to try and prove me wrong, feel free, but I've listened to most the live stuff too.

For just general running around doing dailies and chatting with guildies? Madonna, FWM, Savage Garden, Jewel. More mellow things. I don't need my blood pounding while I'm doing dailies, but it does keep my mind occupied. And my guy will stare over at me if I start singing to whatever I'm listening to. I don't even realize I do it until he's staring at me. And listening to the game and music through headphones... well.. hehe.

I know my play-list is largely inspired by my mother and what she listened to while I was growing up. I grew up with Fleetwood Mac, April Wine, REO Speedwagon, and Mellencamp as part of my daily life, which means its part of my memories.

Well, that's my music, what's yours?

Omg Its Pink!

Now, usually I have no problem with guild tabards, but I just about broke something laughing last night after I logged out of Tzia and flipped though the rest of my guilded characters on Wyrmrest Accord. My guild leader had switched out our tabard from its normal earthen and muted gold to Pink, Purple and Glaring Gold. It looked odd on Tzia, but since I have her cloak showing, I don't have to see it much.

Flipping through my roster, it looked fine on my blood elves. And that's just odd. Then I got to this:


And almost died from laughing so hard. Orc + Pink and Purple? Does not go together. God, I can't wait to see what Ticalos looks like.

Happy April Fools everyone!

Tagged... I'm It.

Well, Niqo over at Petoholics Annon. tagged me for a double meme. I've selected my 80 hunter main, Tzia; and my 66 paladin Casavel for both sets of questions.

What's your time /played?
Do you really wanna know? Do I even want to know? >.< Its not gonna be pretty, certainly not on my main. Tzia's /played is :
Yes, that is 73 days /played. I know, I know. I said it wasn't gonna be pretty.

Casavel's /played is :
That's not so bad. Only 25 days /played. She's been a character I haven't played very often, but did when I first started out on Quel'dorei. She was my "main" until I moved Tzia over.


The Seven Questions
I happened to catch up with Tzia and Casavel in Nagrand, both were willing to take a bit of time to answer this journalist's questions.

1. What is your name, and where did it come from?
Tzia : *stares coldly at the interviewer, apparently offended* I am Tzia Bloodspeaker, of the Frostwolf Clan. Yes, I am a troll. Anyone have a problem with that?

Casavel : *glances at Tzia and shakes her head slightly* My name is Casavel Dawnshadow. My family name is Dawnshadow, my mother and father named me Casavel, for I am the sword of the herald.

2. How old are you, and when is your birthday?

Tzia: I am 26 winters.*she looks away for a moment then gently scratches the giant feline lying next to her behind the ears*

Casavel: I am 121 summers. Next question, please?

3.Are you in love, and with whom?

Tzia: *Chuckles* There is a war going on, in case you haven't noticed.

Casavel: I must agree with my troll comrade here. We are in the middle of dealing with the Lich King. Love is a secondary concern, if one at all. *Checks her sword carefully then returns it to its sheath*

4. What's your favorite mount, and why?

Tzia: My favorite. That is a tricky question, whichever I don't name will be angry with me for at least a month. *leans forward slightly and whispers* Moka, my frostwolf, is my favorite though. She was given to me when I became a member of my Mother's Clan.

Casavel: My Charger, of course. No proper paladin would be on anything else. *sqirms slightly as a wolf howls in the distance.* Well... I do also have this lovely wolf mount... *sheepish look*

5.Do you prefer a certain type of Azerothian Meal, and where do you get it from?

Tzia: Hmm. An Azerothian Meal? No, can't think of anything special. Though, those Savory Snow Plums are absolutely amazing. Mmm. My companion, Ruka, loves seared Rhino Steaks though.

Casavel: Azerothian food. Hmm. Oh, I know, the bread that my mother used to make and send with me. Nothing was quite as good as her honey bread. Mmm.

6. You know those giant mushrooms in Zangarmarsh? What is your theory on how they came to be, and why they are so huge?

Tzia: Prey has to have something to hide behind. There its mushrooms, here its trees. *Tzia shrugs a shoulder*

Casavel:The Naga. Has to be the Naga. Have you seen what Naga look like?! Slimey, creepy, hissy things.

7. If you saw the Lich King walking towards you, what would you do?

Tzia: *A growl comes from the feline companion next to the hunter. Tzia smiles coldly, her hand falling to and patting the bow that rests against her seat * Well, Miss. The Lich King would meet Ruka, and then meet the business end of a hail of arrows. I also have a pole-arm that can cleave a head from shoulders nicely.

Casavel: *A cold light slips into the paladin's eyes* I'd do my best to kill him. I have a sword and a shield, and the blessing of the Naru. What more do I need?
