Going to post a quick blog tonight because I’m going to watch a movie on Netflix as research for a debate. I should first mention I am absolutely not the debating type. I usually avoid knockdown throw-down conflicts. However, when I’m really passionate about something and someone with a high and mighty attitude tries to throw out their opinion like it’s the only one that matters, I get really fired up. It’s really the only time I’m ever outspoken.

I’m sorry but I just can’t respect your opinion if you decide to basically insult anyone and everyone who has a different point of view. So I have this flaw when something like that happens, I like to get my facts straight so I investigate their claims and then come back with a valid, respectful opinion. Anyway, just a disclaimer/warning to all of you out in Cyberspace. If you want me to listen to your opinion and acknowledge that it’s your prerogative to have a different opinion, try being respectful about it!

In other news, Friendship Week is going really well on Bliss MB. A lot more people are participating than I originally thought which is really awesome. It actually instills a little bit more confidence to have another event again soon. I’ve been hesitant to have many events since the trainwreck one we had in September last year and the October one that I completely went about the wrong way (Note to self: Don’t have everyone who would participate play a role IN the event). Some new members have been joining and things appear to be going in a more active direction. Still need to find some good quality staff members that are all about bringing exciting ideas to the table and encouraging activity as well as at least one person to be a Stamp Staff member!

And finally.. Katy Perry’s new song ‘Not Like The Movies’ is probably my new favorite song. Her album is going to be amazing. I cannot waaaaait! Check it out if you haven’t heard it, yet!

Current Mood:  mischievous

IS IT FRIDAY YET? That’s my motto for this week. I pretty much said that rolling into work for the first time of the week. I long for the workdays we had a few months ago when Dad was out on Sales calls nearly every day of the week. Business has been slow though, so that means he’s been in the office more bothering the heck out of us and making sure he explains to us how to do the jobs we’ve been doing without any problems for years. Lord, love him, though. I don’t know what we’d do without him. I just wish he’d calm down because it’s not good for his health and all it does is make us all irritated and unhappy.

I had a pretty chill weekend and I certainly spoiled my Mom for Mother’s Day! I got her some new kitchen knives (which are AMAZING), a new portable coffee cup, and a George Foreman Grill! Which she’s been eyeing for years and even more now that we can’t go out and cook on our grill in the summer without getting eaten alive by the mosquitoes that have decided to call our pool house their own person breeding grounds. I also made her breakfast and dinner (Filet Mignons on the new grill)!

For the rest of the weekend I pretty much lazed around and spent my time in Azeroth. I took quite a break from World of Warcraft after I finished all the World Event achievements a couple months ago, but time is running out before the next expansion and I want to get my Hunter to 80, and get my Mage the Loremaster achievements before ALL the old classic quests are changed. On top of that, I’ve decided I won’t continue leveling my Hunter (she’s 74) until I’ve caught her up on Engineering. I can’t be out in Northrend mining tons of Saronite while my Engineering is still requiring in the lower-level Outland ore. It makes for lots of ore and no bag space. And since Engineering is such a costly profession, I’ve been saving everything I get because I’m sure at some point I’m going to need it.

But I’m excited because I got my Hunter to tame one of the Rare Spirit Beasts, Arcturis, the spectral bear. Pretty sweet deal. I can’t wait to be high enough level to swipe some of the other rare spirit beasts. And somewhat related, can I stress to you all how amazing the AddOn “NPCScan” is? Wow. I bet I’ve flown over dozens of rare spawns without realizing. Just farming ore last night in Outland I found three for the “Bloody Rare” achievement all by pure accident. I guess having a heart attack when the drum alarm sounds is worth it.

And moving on from my nerdy-ness. I’ve also been really looking forward lately to all the awesome new music coming out. Yesterday the debut album from We Are The Fallen was released. I’ve really been looking forward to it because the band is basically three of the ORIGINAL band members from Evanescence with Carly Smithson (former American Idol contestant) singing vocals.

It’s very reminiscent of the “Fallen” Evanescence era. After Ben Moody left, Evanescence just wasn’t the same and I’m glad to have a piece of that back. Besides, Carly is irish and way more gorgeous than Amy Lee. I’m really digging it though, I can’t stop listening to it. So everyone should check it out! Hope you all are having a great week!
