A long time ago I took some sort of online quiz that was a gryphon generator of sorts, and out popped "owl" and "rabbit" with the name "Springwing", and so, I drew the character. I haven't drawn him in years though and recently felt like bringing him back again and revamping him a little.
So, in order to prevent burnout, I've done a little personal art of Springwing! (Total inspiration by kesame's coloring but a LOT lazier)

My baby Shaman, Phaba, is going to ding 80 tomorrow! She's my first hordie to make it to 80 and I am incredibly excited. She's at about 12 days /played, which crazily enough is 8 days less than my NElf druid was at 70. Yay efficiency.
So, once baby Shaman is leveled up the I want her to be resto, in an effort to semi gear for it I respecced elemental at 70. I've been mostly dps-ing (Lavaburst + FlameShock=Yayness.)
Questions/help/Interaction:
A. What's a good addon to auto screenshot the ding?
2. What's a decent ele shaman rotation? Mine is currently Flameshock->LavaBurst->Lightning boltx3 Repeat, what can I do better?
III. Here's my Armory, I know my spec is kind of FUBAR, so any advice would be fantastic.
D. What is good healing strategery for a shaman? It's been kind of riptide, chain heals, and Minor healing waves, I know there's gotta be something better.
5. I hadn't even thought about this but as per kawee_kiwi: GLYPHS! Which should I have? For resto/for ele?
Thank you, I know this is kind of all over the place, but any help/advice makes Claudia a happy girl.

I figured someone here might have a good link to sling me.
I am looking for a list of genetic codes for ball python morphs (such as these photo examples. I have found many pages explaining the different morphologies and great photographic reference, but I need the actual code listing. Similar to this one for horses, but for snakes. (Here is one for cats for good measure)
Anyone know if there is a comprehensive listing online? I'd really appreciate the help.
EDIT: Thank you for the help everyone! Apparently there is no giant genetic code listing for BPs yet! I assume because as a breeding hobby it is still relatively "new" compared to what listings are available. I'll continue my silly research down other lines.
BPs still have the best patterns. ;D

First, my baby hunter finally dinged 50! \o/ Only eight more levels until Outlands and ten more levels until a devilsaur (which I can hopefully tame solo), if I calculated right. Why is it that the levels 45-58 are some of the most boring/hardest levels to get through? It's like an epic battle to ding 58. :/
Second, I'm still not sure if I'm playing my death knight the best that I can. When I solo, I can get up to 1900-2000 DPS, but in a group it's like I'm barely pulling 1000. *sigh* Is there anything that looks like I can improve upon?
Third, I've updated my DK blog enough to finish the starting quests. I'm still looking for any other DK's who are new to the class or have 10 of them for posting help. You just need an email address, I think. I have to play around with that. The more DK's the better I say! :D
Fourth, you know you play WoW too much when you see road work and think "They must be doing massive DPS to the road!"

So, when I converted my two accounts to Battle.net, I think that I converted the second account first.
What this seems to mean in practice is that everytime I try to post on the official forums it defaults to Mazovie my 67 paladin...
While she is the 'main' on the second acct, she is my 4th toon overall...
Changing toons in the options only lasts for that login session.
Does anyone know where I could permanently set my default poster to my main toon Jawbone?
If no one knows anyway to accomplish this, where do the fine folks of wow_ladies think I should ask Blizzard to fix this issue?
(in game? battle.net site? forums? elsewhere?)

Hello Ladies (and Gents). I have a query for you. Today I got bored of leveling my 78 Pally and rolled a human alt just for fun. One of the things that struck me while I was there was how MANY rogues there were. I'd never paid attention to it before but I've never seen many rogues in the higher levels. Or Shamans for that matter.
Basically I was wondering what do you think is the least played class, race, spec or combination of the three?
On a side note, I don't think I ever see non-druid Taurens much either...

All right, I had to spend too much on another tablet, so I need to open up some commissions! My prices for each "type" of commission varies as listed below (but are open for negotiation as well!)

If you're interested PLEASE EMAIL ME at rivmammoli@gmail.com. My goal is to make up for the $350 spent on the tablet, but as usual anything more would be great regardless (you know...to eat and stuff 8I). When you email me, please leave as much information as you think I may need, and describe for me in detail what you want, and I'll calculate the cost for you. If you feel like you REALLY NEED something and cannot afford it, talk to me. I might be able to negotiate, but don't expect me to be too lenient. Thanks to anyone who is interested! Anyone on commissions right now, don't sweat...your stuff is getting done, too! Expect a few days to a week for sketches, a month or so for larger, more complex pieces. I do work, after all! Thank you guys :)
Edit: I also want it to be known that I do concept work!. If you have just an IDEA for something and want me to concept it to life, send me an email! I also do book covers and I do color as well, so if you have any sort of idea, don't feel limited. I might be able to help!

Today was a memorable end to the trip, saw a protest parade, missed the last tour because of said protest parade. Walked down La Ramblas at night to the Columbus Monument only to learn that the city turns OFF the monument lighting at 10pm. WTF?!?!?
Soon will be heading to the Airport for the trip home.

Step 1
Make a post in your journal containing your list of 10 holiday wishes. The wishes can be anything at all, from simple to really big. The important thing is, make sure these wishes are things you really, truly want. If you wish for real-life things, make sure you include some sort of contact info in your post, whether it's your address or just your email address where Santa could get in touch with you.
Step 2
Surf around your friends list (or friend's friends, or just random journals) to see who has posted their list. If you see a wish you can grant, and it's in your heart to do so, make someone's wish come true. Sometimes someone's trash is another's treasure, and if you have a leather jacket you don't want or a gift certificate you won't use--or even know where you could get someone's dream for free--do it. You needn't spend money on these wishes unless you want to. The point isn't to put people out, it's to provide everyone a chance to be someone else's holiday elf--to spread the joy. Gifts can be made anonymously or not--it's your call. There are no rules with this project, no guarantees, and no strings attached. Just...wish, and it might come true. Give, and you might receive. And you'll have the joy of knowing you made someone's holiday special.

Well, I just made the switch from Alliance to Horde on my warlock. It's kind of bittersweet I guess, I have never had a high level horde toon before, but I've always played Alliance so it's all very confusing to me. I'm learning how to get places, which is taking a while, and I do kind of miss my lock's sexy human body. ( Before and After )
So far, I haven't lashed out against my enemies Alliance side yet, but I did run into someone by K3 that was just asking to be feared into the minefield... So I did it, and I laughed, and then I apologized later, and /tease and /clapped at him, and I'm assuming he understood that I wasn't going to do it again, I promise.
Also, I was wondering if anyone knows of some nice laid back guilds that me and the boy can join, hordeside on Frostmane. We're lonely, we came from a good friendly guild that's run by an IRL friend of mine, and yea... :( Don't like being lonely. Thanks!
TL;DR Just switched from Alliance to Hordeside on Frostmane. Woo!
( Also here's a drawing I did, so I don't have to make another post. )

I will not be attending FC this year. There is no way I can afford to do so with this move so close. I'm sorry to all of those looking forward to seeing me there. D:
12/4/09 10:59 am
You would think given how close I was to dinging 80 that I would try to stage a more interesting screenshot. At least one where you can see my face rather than the amorphous blob that shadow form makes of me and my griffin.
Unfortunately, this is what I have.

Underneath Icecrown Citadel, which I believe has to be about the least interesting part of the game, visually, if all you can see is the ground.
I still grin every time I see the picture though. You see, this is my Human Female. She's the character I created to be me.
I now have 4 characters over 75, and I'm extremely attached to all of them. At various times during their lives, they've all been the character I most identified with. None of them, however, are human.
Back in classic my first character was a human female priest. I ended up deleting her to use the name on another character, I hated to play her so much. I've always felt a little sad about that.
Now I feel like I've made that right. Welcome home, Cir.

Hello WoW Ladies and Lurking WoW Gents,
Arcane Mage questions...I has them!
( Arcane and Me: Getting the Most Bang Out of Boome! )
TL;DR: Asking for some advice to help maximize my Arcane Mage's DPS. Also, a funny book found in Dalaran about first time Mages.
( So You Think You Can Cast! )Thanks in advance! I sincerely appreciate any and all help you ladies and gents can give me! Edit: LJ Wizard, I am not. Sorry for the formatting of the post. I have a mental block with LJ cuts apparently. -.- The format should be fixed now, I hope! Edit 2: Yay! The Armory is back up, so here is a link to mine. Boome's Armory.

Christmas gift for my mom. Doing Christmas with her...well..tomorrow, as we'll both be out of town, so this was a bit of a crunch and had to get it done. She likes ocelots :)

Recycle by ~jmpierce on deviantART
My character Diederich on the Thorium Brotherhood server. He wants you to recycle.
12/3/09 05:08 pm
Two parts to this!
First, I'm rolling a new toon on a server my friends play on. None of their toons are very low-level and I don't want to be pulled around too much or beg for favours/loans, so I'm looking at a lot of solo leveling, at least until I get into the thirties. I'm thinking of playing a human priest - would anyone have any advice to share on how to spec or play priest until the mid-thirties? I've played priests before, but not for a long time (it's been pallies and dks for a long while), and only for the first dozen or so levels.
Secondly, this is a RP server (Earthen Ring) I'm rolling on, and the character is a re-roll of one I'd played there and then moved. She was a warlock, I've been playing her off and on for ages, and I'd like to run a sorta-shortened version of her backstory past anyone interested - I'm looking for advice, constructive criticism....
( Read more... ) Edit: Ooo, another priestpost just below me. *lurks*
12/3/09 01:29 pm
Afternoon Ladies,
I was hoping all you uber-priests out there could give me a few tidbits of advice. To continue my streak of hybrid classes (I have an 80 druid and paladin now) I've rolled a priest who I'm going to work on during weekends. I've scanned the priestly tags, but couldn't find anything specific to my question.
Leveling Spec:
I had intended to level her as Shadow, seeing as leveling in a DPS spec is usually easiest, but I saw earlier a post about someone saying they had leveled in Disc and loved it. When I level I tend to solo quests with very few instances (my hubby will take me on the odd run through, but I very rarely group until I hit Northrend). Any suggestions? I have an almost max level tailor, so I hope to make most of her gear for leveling.
When (if) she hits 80 I intend to play her as Shadow/Disc.
She's only level 10 right now, but I need to ask....will this get easier? :| I've been happily smiting stuff through the Night Elf starting grounds, but drinking after every two kills? I had the urge to alt+F4 out of that quest that takes you into the caverns with all the furbolgs. I went in with 40 chilled milk to drink, and the only reason I made it out alive was because someone else killed the one that was eating on me after I'd drank my last one. 10 is a bad level to quit a toon at because I'm just getting into her talents and new spells, so I'm not going to give up, but a little reassurance would be nice <3
Thanks for listening :)
12/3/09 03:30 pm
Assuming that by "touch" you're taking into account the separate senses of thermoception, mechanoreception, and nociception, you're pretty much fucked without that.
12/3/09 12:27 pm
Mkay.
I have 2 accounts that I'm doing raf on. account A is my main account and already has 2 lv 30's on it. this is mildly relevant.
on account A i also have a hunter identical to my main save for horn style (I haven't gone to the barber shop yet) and of course fur color (i like the grey cows with spots, but it's too weird to change my main to that D:)
on account B i have a druid i've been leveling with identi-hunter.
my question is this. If i x-fer identi-hunter to account B will she get the same raf super powers as my druid? granting levels and all that?
my tentative plan is to x-fer her over to account B when they hit lv 30 so that my warlock and druid* get a hunter and druid to level with.
Thanks in advance wow ladies!
*My main account druid is black and is named Blackoak. Account B druid is white and named Whiteoak. I'm soooo clever.
side note: when i finish with my hordies i'll be working on my alli raf pairs. if you see Norral (drae shammy) or Kheitamm (dorf hunter) on koralistraz feel free to poke :)

12/3/09 02:36 pm
Uhhgggg ok I forgot... how LJ.... reacts to things
Here is what I meant:
I don't like seeing ANY couple, straight or gay, tongueing eachother in public places
And what I meant when I said what I said was this: If you're anti-gay purely on the basis that it grosses you out, whatever, but it's still wrong to vote against their rights.
I was trying to talk to some of the few anti-gay supporters on my f-list, trying to say that if your only hang-up is the physical aspect, that is fine, you don't have to be a complete 100 percent GAY FANATIC in order to understand their basic rights. You can meet us half way
Putting my support of gay people into question is so ridiculous to me uuhghghgh I'm never posting videos like that again, sorry
I'm gonna feel sick all day if anyone out there thinks I'm homophobic! Honestly
Here is the video I originally posted, if you are curious: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dCFFxidhcy0 It's great
12/3/09 01:04 pm
When I woke up today, I took a nice long shower first thing. Then I got dressed and took the dog out in the yard to pee while I brought in the trash bins. There were a few drifts of snow around from last night, but I was wearing jeans and a turtleneck and it didn't seem all that chilly to me. I did stop to put on some sandals before I went out.
Halfway through the bins, I noticed my wet hair had frozen solid an inch or two from my scalp. I took hold of the back and pulled it around, and it was like freakin' hair ikebana.
Moments like this are why I wrinkle my nose when people on TV start waxing romantic about how great it is to live in SoCal. My flip flops have ice treads.
