World of Warcraft
My husband and I got hooked on WoW on October 10, 2006 at 4:18:15 PM, after we saw the South Park Episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft"
(http://videoutopia.smartvideochannel.com/media/playvideo.aspx?f=flash7&cid=28D323DD11C14FDB9BDCF21BC876A1F1&v=mostviewed)
My main character's name is Svetlannia (look): http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Baelgun&n=Svetlannia
My husband's main character's name is Lilanni (look): http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Baelgun&n=Lilanni
We had job troubles and had to get rid of our computer. We weren't able to get another one until we moved into our current townhouse in February 2008. We got our main characters up to about 40 - 50-ish level before we stopped playing.
It's only $15 a month. Now that Wrath of the Lich King has come out ... it'd be a grand total of $90 to start playing, plus the monthly charge. ($20 for the main game, $30 for the Burning Crusade Expansion, then $40 for Wrath of the Lich King)
When we started playing, I could play all night ... my record was 20 straight hours. Now that Olivia came along, now it's even harder to play.
I was able to play with one hand and hold her at the same time, but the bigger she gets, and the different demands she has now, it's almost impossible to play.
She needs baby food at least 3 times a day, instead of only breast feeding (because she's not growing like she should, read my Olivia Monroe blogs) and my 6 yr old needs me to be a mom and not a gamer.
Please understand, I am not ... in ANY way ... complaining about being a mom because I LOVE it! But now I can't do both =(
I've taken a month off to make sure I don't over-do-it with the game. I tend to get burned out on certain entertainment, especially movies. I really enjoy the game and I never want to NOT want to play.
When I play now, I get so stressed out! I get very angry when I get stuck in an area I need to complete my quests in and there are too many mobs (monsters) clustered around and I keep dying.
I get so mad, I need to let it out with a quick burst of violence ... I usually take it out on the keyboard and I don't wanna do that!!
I don't like who I become when I play! I still want to play, but I just want to start a new character!
I'm playing on my husband's account right now and my sister is transferring her stuff off her computer (used to be mine) onto her new laptop and she'll give me back my computer. When that happens, I'll move my character over to my own account, but it's $20 to do that, so I can't really put effort into making a new character I really like if I'm not going to pay to transfer it ... I'm already shelling out $125 to play Svet on my account, I don't really want to pay $145 or $165, you know?
I just want to play and have fun, but I'm in such a rut right now =(

My Dream Wedding
I'm not one of those girls who's always dreamed of the perfect wedding, I just wanted a medium-sized wedding with all my family there. My family is very important to me!
My vision included me in a "white" dress:
And a matching-style dress for my daughter/flower girl:
A white gold 3-stone diamond ring (less than 1 Karat total):
A beautiful 3+ tier wedding cake:
The centerpieces:
Place Settings:
(I like the colors, and the cherry blossoms)
(I don't like the hot pink, but I do like the balls of light up above!)
And the invitations:
(I like the colors ... but I know I need to pick a theme)
I pictured my dad giving me away, everyone's eyes on me, celebrating me feelings for my significant other (in this case Preston) with my whole family.
I'm not looking for a huge, expensive wedding where everything has to be perfect and there are 100 people and decorations all over. I'm simple. I'm casual. I just want a fucking "real" wedding!
Preston and I decided to get married when we did (Friday, August 26th, 2005) because of many reasons; including the fact that we love each other, we didn't want to wait, and we though it would look better to the courts the longer we were married when we filed for custody for Gracie, Preston's daughter.
We decided to go to the courthouse and get married by the judge. We didn't want the courtroom too crowded, so we only invited Preston's Mom (Sheryl), his former Step-dad, and his sister (Shanna), my Mom (Trudy), Dad (Matt), Step-mom (Holly), sister (Morgan), brother (Justin), and cousin (Veronica).
We left out 22 people, so our real wedding would only be for 50 or less =)
Here are some pictures from our courthouse wedding:
