Hey everyone! I guess I'm reintroducing myself here since I haven't been on here much since Gay Days 2009. I'm the type who likes to focus on things. Guess that's why I was on here so much before my trip. It was my focus. After Gay Days last year my focus was finding a new car since my lease was ending. My time I'd spend on these boards was replaced with doing research and reading discussions on car boards. In the end I ended up getting the car I had been lusting after since I first saw spy shots of it, an 2009 Acura TL SH-AWD. I love it, just wish I could enjoy it more.
After that I renewed my interest in World of Warcraft. I hadn't played much with all my Disney planning and then car shopping. As anyone who's played WoW can attest, it can really suck away the time. My friends and I ended up leaving our big raiding guild and going back to our small guild that contained our alts. I was enjoying leveling my alts and then doing 5-mans with my friends. We started getting the itch to raid and were closing to having enough for 10-man's. We did Ulduar-10 a couple times with the help of some friends from our former raiding guild. But just as we got some people back others stopped playing. So again I focused on leveling alts. Now with 7 level 80 toons the game is becoming stale. Every night it's the same thing, running random heroics. It may be different toons with different abilities but it's the same thing. So I started leveling my 35 pally (now 40) and 49 shammy (now 60). I see my play time reducing for a while. I'll be anxiously awaiting the release of Cataclysm.
Another focus I had was deciding to get a new computer. The release of Windows 7 and it's support for touch, I started to itch for a new computer. I recalled my days of having a TabletPC and thought that it might be time to see what's new. I also started seeing the touch-enabled all-in-one's like HP's TouchSmart line. I liked the look and features but not the power. If I was to get a new computer I also wanted it to be a new gaming machine. Then Dell announced their touch-enabled monitor. With it I could hook it up to any computer and have the touch features I wanted along with the power. I then looked at building a computer, something I've done before. But the savings weren't really there. I ended up getting 2 computers, an HP and one from iBuyPower. I tried them both and ended up returning the HP. It's funny that touch was what got me thinking about a new computer, yet I hardly use it. I still need to finish getting things like my music loaded on it. Maybe then I'll use it more. But it's been a great gaming machine.
Only real change in my life since last year is I'm no longer working 2 jobs. It was really taking its toll on me and with my credit cards paid off I decided to regain some free time.
So that's what's been going on with me. Not much really LoL. I have missed this board and the witty banter
