Pending Further Investigation

Graham and I have decided to re-sub our World of Warcraft account (I'll pause to allow those of you who didn't know I play WOW to regain your composure.... are you done laughing at me? Ok... I'll continue). When we lived in California we played WOW every Wednesday night with a group of friends from all over. Seeeeeeee, it's social, and therefore completely acceptable.

So I am typing in my user name and password to recover my account info and it's all "invalid information" and I'm all "noooo it isn't, idiot computer". And it went on like this for some time until I decided to call the service help-line (mostly because, since I tried logging on so many times with "invalid information" it locked me out of the site. Computer, 1. Me, 0.)

Then, forty-five minutes later: FORTY-FIVE MINUTES, PEOPLE... this just proves how many people play MMO's. Seeeeeeee, it's pervasive, and therefore completely acceptable. Forty-five minutes later a woman is explaining to me that my account has been hacked in to and, pending further investigation, may or may not be reopened.

All of this to say that, for the first time in my life, I am a part of an INVESTIGATION. It's like a murder mystery... only ONLINE. There has been a scandal in Outland, folks... someone has killed my Druid. YOUR CHILDREN ARE NOT SAFE!

New to This

A lot of people blog...and I guess that I am now among them. A little behind the times, though. I have thought about starting a blog for a long time, as I tend to have a lot to say, but I never got around to it. Until now.

Yesterday I was introduced to the glory that is Grand Theft Auto. Now, before you judge me, you should know that I stopped at every red light, never stole a vehicle, and cooperated fully with the law enforcement officials. The game gets a lot of flack but, to be fair, it is seriously good fun. Plus, I do not subscribe to the school of thought that believes violence in video games begets violence in real life...at least not anymore than being amazing at Rock Band (which, by the way, I totally am) makes the non-digital-me rock-worthy.

It should. It really should.
