Bodi Takes It Back To Sen'Jin Village, Seeing The New Twilight Movie Won't Get You Laid

I find that some of my most interesting AIM exchanges are with Zac/Mortale. He's probably the best source of quotes in these articles other than Glick, who's self-empowering bitterness always seems to deliver in terms of rhetorical, scathing criticism of pretty much everyone and everything. It went down like this:

Bodi: I'm going to see the new Twilight Movie with this girl.
Zac: HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA
Zac: SEEING THE TWILIGHT MOVIE WILL NOT MAKE HER **** YOU.
Bodi: I was going to see it in LA by myself anyways. May as well see it with someone on the East Coast.
Zac: YOU WOULD GO SEE THAT **** WILLINGLY?

Say what you will about Zac, but he has an interesting sort of wisdom when it comes to this sort of thinking. When he's not jerking off in Quality Control vent about working out and how pumped he gets with the bros he's being thrown around by a chick who's better at thai kickboxing than he is in the sack. Hey man, we've all got our kinks. Thrall likes to kick it with the humans, Jaina likes tusks with MC Hammer dances. That doesn't mean I'm going to be drawing terrible fanart about the two in hopes the Blizzard makes my lonely fantasies come true.

I thank everyone for the kind words given to me in my last entry. In the aftermath of my rather difficult realization that being black in China is about as nice as being an orc in Stormwind, I went back to one of my roots and took a flight from LAX to CLT to wrap up a few loose ends. In everyone's journey of self-discovery, sometimes you just do stupid ****. For example, I transferred to Blackrock and named my toon Qtmantaur.

In this particular case, I broke up with my girlfriend of nearly 2 years because I wanted to avoid what that guy in American Beauty went through. That is, you get really old and realize that there was a bunch of other **** you wanted to do before you got tied down to one woman and there's little you can do about it other than fantasize about underaged women and smoke lots of weed.

My dedication to Loan was so much that I wanted to be absolutely sure that I didn't have any sort of doubts when it came to dedicating the rest of my life to her. Life isn't like 3v3. I can't just hop around forever from team to team telling her to wait for me to get my **** together so we can make that final Glad push together. I knew there was something special about her when we were first starting to date and we leveled two shaman together from level 1 to level 70 together in TBC.

But. I'm reckless. I'm constantly restless. With Loan is relatively easy. She's in med school and over the course of her studies she requires a bit of travel. This is just one of many ways her nature compliments my own. It's almost like the first team who discovered the power of Druid/Warrior in 2v2. You just try something out and it *clicks*. At first you can't really explain it but as time goes on your theorycraft it and are able to explain the math behind why it all just seems to be so perfect. Being with Loan is like knowing you'll faceroll your way to RL gladiator status because it just fits that well.

So in lieu of all of this, I went to see my mother for the first time in over three years this weekend. If I aspire to be a RL gladiator, the best way to describe my mother is that she's a PvE champ who can't break out of the 800 bracket. Sure, she has wisdom in what she does but doesn't know much outside of that and it makes for a frustrating exercise to talk to because she, like all PvE champs, assert that what she does takes just as much skill (or more) than grinding up to 2.4k rating and above. it's just a different mindset.

She talks about my brother finally getting his food stamps turned on and how she's having surgery in January completely covered by medicaid. I ask her about the health care legislation and she simply scoffs with a dismissive wave of her hand that she's too worried about her own problems because she's too busy keyboard turning and clicking all of her skills in the spellbook.

I realize, again, that being reckless isn't the answer. So, I went back to my origin story and realized that my roommate was right all along. Sen'Jin isn't where I belong but in Orgimmar, where the big boys roll. As I'm writing this I'm at the CLT airport and my flight departs in 8 minutes and I can't access wireless from the plane. The douchebaggy looking flight attendant guy keeps looking at his watch. FML. I'll finish the rest of the story later. Peace for now and thanks again for the good support.
