WoW: The Second World we live in

So as many people know (and not so many know yet) im pretty much a warcraft junkie nowadays. I started back in Sept of last year thanks to a friend from Counterstrike named Connery. The reason i stayed away from the game so long was because i know myself. I knew i would get enthralled with it and of course, i did.
Now thats not to say that ive given up on social skills or decided that playing is more important then wife points, but ive definately been hardcore about it.
At first it was just about playing the game. Now its about reaching end game content. I picked a warrior class oh so long ago because... well... i always pick the warrior class in games like this. No one told me that the class had a specific job title at end game, tank.
So i got plunged headfirst into tanking after reaching Outlands (if youve read this far you see that this post is prolly gonna be a WoW post) and i did like it. But dont be mistaken, its a lot of hard work.
Everyone expects everything out of you. You need to know the mobs in the instance. You need to mark the kill/CC order. You need to keep everything off the healer (and according to hunters and mages, off the dps... screw you fuckers). You have to keep the threat up on all the mobs you can. You have to watch your life and hit the Oh Shit button if the healer missed a heal or such. And finally, you get the shitty repair bill at the end.
But all in all, its still fun...
So a couple of weeks ago, after being in a raid slump since most of our raiders left the guild to start a more hardcore raiding guild, i decided to start a priest. Boy, i tell you what, ive never had so much fun. Who knew healing could be exciting.
Ive been nonstop leveling her (i once said that id never level another female toon, but all the good names were taken, and it would be weird having a male toon named Evilnurse) and enjoying my PW:Shield and Renews and Mind Flays and MC.
Its good times. Plus, it keeps me in the house and not spending money, which is good.
Now all i need to do is get Nic to play...

To quote Arthas, "You've been following in my footsteps all along..."

I tried to tell you, I gave up tanking a long time ago and enjoy the priest over all other classes. I'll save you more time and tell you that at 70, shadow pvp is the most fun, but you will do better in arenas and be more marketable as a disc/holy priest.
