random thoughts of a Master

First of all a wow update. Thanks to My Aylen, I have a new set of wonderful bracers that are rated #2 in druid dps. (though they are cloth and druids can wear leather.) The did not come cheaply, nor did the pattern that aylen used to make them, but they are amazing. We have started assembling more a guild and making it in the sort of fashion we desire. a drama - free, no bs guild where we like to have fun. an ideal situation. Admittedly, I was not really sure what I thought of leading a guild at first. With power comes responsibility, and with responsibility, there may be aggression or ill feelings. I have already had such feelings expressed when a member of our guild (now former member) was removed because quite frankly, I saw him as a dumbass. Whereas I know that dumb asses run rampant in wow, that does not mean I wish them in my guild.The good side to this is simply that. I do not have to have people in my guild that I do not like, nor do I need a reason to take them off the guild roster.Secondly, aylen and I just celebrated our first thanksgiving together, and I believe that it will be the first in a long string. We went to eat with my friends, and aylen seemed to bond with Joe's parents quite well. got us invited to a hockey game so I believe this would be Good thing for aylen to help her get out of the house and get other social interaction.. not like she did not have that before me, mind you, but i am sure at times she must be getting a bit stir crazy.Lastly, In the constant battle I have always faced with my weight, I have found myself slowly creeping up to what I once was. There are many factors of this involved, the biggest being the fact that I eat consistently, and aylen is a good cook. lol. That said it is something we both battle now. It has been a very cold and wet year so that has made it difficult to go out and do the outdoors type of stuff I love to do. On top of depressing me, it is not conducive of doing things. The first time I went through this, I started doing a lot of exercise, namingly one, dance dance revolution. since then, I have had notoriously bad luck with the pads breaking (having paid several hundred dollars for them) and it is not good on joints. I did obtain a bike before aylen arrived, so I came up with the idea that I could get an indoor bicycle trainer, something that would make the bike stationary yet still provide resistance. Lastly, and I am doing this on the second, there is something i have recently encountered that I had not anticipated. You see? all my life I have been competitive. I have always felt that anyone that was trying to impress me, or to show me that they listened, I had always saw it as a challenge. thus, the feelings show as unimpressible and now that I mention it, i suppose a level of breaking down one's self esteem. I am of the feeling now, with aylen at least that there is not truly a competition, because she is on my side, behind me, *in my camp* so to speak. so I suppose I have decided that it is more important to me, to have my girl with me by my side then not have her there, feeling alienated because it causes her master stress.
