WoWzers

Yes, I'm still playing lots of WoW. I'm in mourning, though, because Bryan is giving up the game for good. He was my one real-life friend who played the game with me, and I don't know how fun playing Horde will be without him. :/ Luckily (?) for me, just before that, I'd been getting more into playing on the other side (Alliance) with my paladin Nyda. She was level 34 when I left the game in March, and I hadn't played her at all when I came back, focusing instead on getting Zetarg the orc warlock to the top level of 60 and making a troll warrior named Zyda, now level 39. Well, when things in my Horde guild got bad and Bryan had to spend more time studying, I turned back to my pally. I found a RP guild called the Crimson Knights on the Alliance, and for the first time on a RP server (which means theoretically everyone should be "in character" all the time), I got to role-play. It's been really fun and added a new dimension to the game. Add that to the fact that my guildmates are very cool and Nyda just got her warhorse (increasing her travel speed by 60% which is HUGE) and I think I may be playing the game for at least one more month. But interest in the game really varies, so next week or the week after I may feel differently.

In other news, Graham got back from his 47-day European adventure a few weeks ago and we hung out a few times. We got together on 9/20 and had dinner and he showed me all his pictures and told me his stories. He had an awesome time. Then last Tuesday we got together again because he was going back to LA on Thursday. We drove to his dad's studio and after I got the tour, we picked up the DVDs of our Latin trip to Italy and Greece in the summer of 1999. We also picked up a bottle of cabernet. So, we sat on the couch at our apartment and watched the awesomeness that was that trip, seeing 6-year-old version of ourselves, Elliot, Louis, Carl Jackson, Boniface and diverse others while splitting the bottle. I was really sad when he left because he was moving back to LA. It makes complete sense - he absolutely needs to be there to do what he wants - but he was here in Dallas since the wedding (except for the 47 days in Europe) and I got to see him more than I had since high school. I guess I just got spoiled. There's one more person in the UC Davis camp, though, encouraging me to go out to Cali for vet school.

Speaking of vet school, my application is all taken care of. The main app had been submitted to the TMDSAS a few weeks ago and I got a letter saying they have forwarded it on to A&M. And my A&M supplemental app is in, and all three of my letters of recommendation have been mailed (2/3 received by TMDSAS). Now, this doesn't mean that something might still get messed up, but it appears as if everything is in order. The website says I should know about interviews by December 22 (hopefully it is sooner than that).
