Community
I like being in a WoW community where everyone helps each other, there’s good communication between players, and a friendly attitude. Pox Arcanum was my first experience with this, despite being in numerous guilds on several servers, and I just started a Horde alt on Drenden to play with GameDame’s new (soon-to-be) guild.
However, I don’t like being the new guy in said groups, where it feels like everyone is going out of their way to help me, and I’m unable to really contribute yet, other than my participation.
I’ll get there soon, though.

Hostage Situation
Dear Shawn,
We have your mother. We’re not letting go. The funny thing is, she came looking for us. And now your family will be trapped and helpless to resist our inane demands.
Today, you will sing Numa Numa all day long.
Tomorrow has another torture in store.

Seriously?
For all you people looking for rhymes, it’s got an H in it. Yeah.
That should cut my traffic by about half.

"Nantucket" Jokes Need Not Apply
DeadRabbit has Engineer passion.
“These goggles will make me look dashing!“
With a twist and a whirl
She makes squirrel after squirrel
(Or at least until they’re out of fashion)
In case you didn’t know, this is about my friend DeadRabbit of Pox Arcanum.
Think you can do better? I’d love to see more WoW-themed lymerics, so go ahead and post one up in the comments.

Washington – You can have it all
I went for a nice long drive yesterday. Ten hours long, in fact, and nearly 400 miles.
I work for a medical company that does home-health care, and I deliver medication, supplies, equipment and oxygen to peoples homes so that they don’t have to be in a clinic or hospital to get their medical treatments. It’s usually for people that have recurring infections, some cancer patients, patients with special formula diets, etc. where it’s not necessary for them to receive the intense care of a clinic or hospital, or where they can self-administer.
So, nice long drive. 400 miles. Started off all gloomy and rainy, but as the day progressed, it started getting nicer, and I was again reminded of how much I love living in beautiful Western Washington. I took a few pictures, and thought I’d share them with my few readers.
This is out near Forks, WA, on the way through the Olympic National Park. The mountains are all obscured by low cloud cover, but the serenity of the lake and the surrounding forest made me stop and take a few photos.
There’s lots of little waterfalls along the side of the road. I decided to turn of my radio going through this area to focus on the natural beauty of my surroundings. 
This is near La Push, which I’ve heard is a popular surfing area in Washington. The highway comes right up near the edge of the ocean, and the waves breaking over the beach is so serene and peaceful. The cloud cover had started to break a bit, though these pictures are still a little dark.
Despite the bad rep that Washington gets for being a nasty, rainy place, I love it here. Any outdoors activity you can do, you can probably do here, from hiking in the mountains, to skiing, to kayaking, or fishing. If you like the outdoors, I think Washington is the place for you.
It’s certainly the place for me.

Crazy-go-nuts
In 12 days, my brother is coming home from his 2-year Mission in Colorado. During this time, my family hasn’t seen him except for pictures he’s sent home, and have only communicated through letters and a twice-a-year phone call. Things are going to be a little crazy around here as we prepare for his homecoming.
