Sorry to leave you hanging there
My old clan leader from World of Warcraft just sent me this email:
.... please let me know what is going on at work. If you are playing on
another server let me know so I can decide what to do. I would very much like
for you to come play with us even if it’s only a few hours a week....
The reference to “work” is an email I sent him about 2 and a half months ago telling him I could no longer play WoW in the evenings (because I was spending 11 hours days at the office making sure the Future of Lincoln event went succesfully). Having chosen the very unromantic “priest” class in WoW I was one of very few toons who had the ability to heal and buff guild mates since everyone playing WoW preferred to play a fighter type.
I’m kind of torn right now. I uninstalled WoW weeks ago, and theoretically, I could reinstall to access my lvl 44 priest to help my guild out, particularly as I was the only priest in the guild. I guess it would be the “honorable” thing to do in the MMORPG world. On the other hand, what the hell do I get out of it besides wasting yet more hours for a bunch of no-life-BTK-Killer-in-training-losers I have no real life allegiance to whose most literate phrases are: “I’ma pwn him <3.”
Right now I don’t need a second job. Sorry guild.

Not that you’re bitter or anything.
The fantasy realm is something I have never really understood. I can do sci-fi-type fantasy, but when you start talking trolls and dwarves and that sort of thing, you’ll start to lose me. It’s not that I don’t want to like fantasy—I’m agnostic on the matter—it’s just that I genuinely don’t get it. Just like I genuinely don’t get calculus, and just like baseball coaches genuinely don’t get that all those “rules” they thought they knew are, in fact, myths.
