Quick WoW Note
My DK,name-changed from Cylana to Melaenah, has been doing a lot of nothing. I got on her last week for the first time in a while and took a long look at her gear. Yeesh. It's not pretty. And I had thought she was well geared. It's going to take a lot of work and learning to get her back to being able to run raids. She's still a hundred or two points over hit cap.
Gnavie is my druid. I finally logged onto her again and switched her back to healing. Once I was able to get into groups for stuff other than the Orange Crystals side of Mara healing got a lot easier for me. I'm actually pretty good at it, but it scares me to think about trying to heal a heroic or a 10 or 25-man. She's 56 now and I was so excited to get tree form.
Erylie (name changed to Aerialynn) is my newest time drain. She's a level 21 gnome mage. I really like playing her, and she's easy to level (when I don't get called onto Aevelyn) because she's got three pieces of heirloom gear (chest, shoulders and a trinket). I've got a frost leveling spec for her and she holds her own in groups. Slow fall is a lot of fun. I've also been leveling professions as she goes which is considerably faster, easier and cheaper than leveling them at 80. She's tailoring and enchanting so that she'll be able to make herself some lvl 200 epics at 80 and get into the que for heroics. All I have to do is get her to 80.

Script Frenzy Has Begun!
I haven't written anything except a transition and a scene heading, but Script Frenzy has begun! I'll confess that I have no idea what I'll be writing except that it will be Psych fanfic. I've been so immersed in watching Psych the past few weeks that there's no way it could be anything else. I also have a page of detailed notes on my desk in front of my monitor that I took while reading the "Introduction to TV Scripts" and "TV Script Formatting Overview" in the Script Frenzy Writer's Resources. So I am prepared with the knowledge of how to write a script, just not a plot. I think I picked the right show to write with no plot for though, because I can just write any ridiculous thing that comes to mind until I actually have an idea.
I have to be at work a noon tomorrow, but I'm going to put up my Script Frenzy participant image on the side and try to knock out a page or so before calling it a night. If nothing else, it's a lot of fun watching my newly-painted red nails on the keyboard.

Script Frenzy: I Didn't Suffer Enough Last Year
This won't be a long, or very well formatted post because I'm on my phone and apparently all the editing it does when I text is not something that carries over to using safari. Also, it won't turn on its side so that the buttons are bigger.
Anyway, I remebered last night that Script Frenzy is in April, and decided that I would give it a try once again. There should be a link on the side to the site, but I'll throw one into this post when I get out of work.
http://scriptfrenzy.com/
I really have no idea what I'll be doing for my script, but I've been watching a lot of Psych, so I'll probably end up to a Psych fanfic in script form. Erin is planning on trying SF with me, so I'll be familiarizing myself with Celtx tonight and tomorrow to be ready for he first.

Aevelyn Is Leveling
This is the first of probably many very geeky posts here. Not that most of my posts aren't geeky anyway.
Aevelyn is the first character I made on my real WoW account. I made others on the trial, but Aevelyn is the one I leveled to 56 to open up Death Knights. Since then I had abandoned Aevelyn to play my plate-wearing damage taking DK. Now that my DK is 80 and pretty well geared and runs heroics I've turned to my other characters and started leveling Aevelyn again. Now she's at 64, almost half way to 65 and I'm loving playing her again. She's a destro warlock and I'm actually getting good at remembering to mana up and doing damage with her. I like using the felhunter to level, though the voidwalker is nice too. I'm in Nagrand, and it's interesting because i never came through here while leveling my death knight.
Well, back to leveling for a bit. I have to go to bed soon because I have to work at noon and that's early for me.

The First Post of 2010
I won NaNoWriMo for the third time in November. I updated the side bar to have the 2009 winner banner. I had to write 14k on the last day to win it, but I did do it.
I am still very much a fan of Heroes, Star Trek and Zachary Quinto. I'm very excited for tonight's new episodes of Heroes.
I tried to go to sleep an hour ago, but couldn't. I've been wanting to get back to blogging, and writing in general, so now I'm on the couch with my netbook watching The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring. I had forgotten how much I love these movies. I clearly remember my obsession with everything related to them, but I'm glad that even now that the obsession has passed they are still entertaining to me. I'll decide once I've finished this one if I want to move onto the next movie or actually go to bed.
The princess of the house (Powder cat) is trying to decided where she wants to be laying.
I've been working, but for the most part I've been playing a lot of WoW. If I continue to blog more I plan to make tags for each of the characters I play the most, so that I can write on here about the progress I make with them. Not many people in the real world care to hear about them and my guildies don't care because their not all 80 and completely geared. I love my guildies, but the game is more about knowing your character than having the best gear and being a flawless raider. And on top of that, it is a game and I enjoy leveling and playing each character at my whim, not forcing myself to grind to get to the endgame content, especially when the endgame moves so often.
I think that's it for now. Powder has settled on the back of the couch by my head and Aragorn has just been introduced to the story as Strider, the Ranger. Good night!

Guess What Time It Is?
This year I promise to not promise to keep this blog up to date on my writing progress. After two years saying I will and then not doing it, even I know I'm lying.

Still Alive
Still alive over here. Not too much has changed. I'm still very into Star Trek. I've watched The Original Series and the first 4 movies (as well the Star Trek XI). I've watched all of Heroes now and enjoy it very much. My love for Zachary Quinto is still strong. As is my love for Leonard Nimoy. I just finished watching an older show called Jake 2.0. It was very cute. A lot like Chuck.
Work's going really well for me. I've been working 6 day weeks, but it's okay. I like the job and I like most of the people.
