Everyone gets a Scythe!!!!

Was going to make an entry here explaining my next Holiday event task, and last night I get a whisper asking about my Frostscythe mog. So I figured to get this out now before Saturday, Well I planned to post it on Friday Anywhos....
Ok so This Saturday starts the Midsummer Fire Festival. The Holiday Boss is Frost Lord Ahune. The daily prize is the Satchel of Chilled Goods.

Unless they changed it this year, the drop rate for the Frostscythe to be in the bag is 1.4% I had originally gotten it several years ago but deleted it before Transmog was out. Last year, or the year prior (I can't remember) I HAD to get it back on Deadskully. I think it took me all the way up to the last days of the event too.
So according to this calendar, I have 15 days to run this on all my caster classes that can wield staves.
I KNOW I want to get all my 90 locks to have one. Especially Alliance Deadskully and Hyjal Babyskully. I might come across the problem I had with The Valentines Boss. Everyone running their alts and my noob toons can't pick up the slack. Meh We'll see what happens. Who knows, I might always be lucky and get good groups.

So I will be running this boss 9 times a day. Well 10 if they drop something better for Deadskully, which I highly doubt.
I also don't know if the stats went up from last year's Scythe drop so it might be better then what I currently have my 90s using.
Unless I push hard, I don't think I can get Skullysdead another 20 levels before Saturday. I'm sure I will get her maxed before the event is over, but just not when it starts.
Just realized I will probably see more people with MY scythe mogged... crap!

Warforged Nightmare

Alright so of course the day this mount came out I needed to get it.
It looks so awesome! It's so pretty when it flies. The red ember gasses streaking behind it.
I want to make a "Deadskully's Adventures" story about it, but I'd need screenshots of inside Siege of Orgrimmar raid 3rd or 4th wing.  Somewhere that it looks like something is being constructed for battle, Warforged, if you will. I'm thinking the rooms with the trash before you get to Malkorok or before the Spoils or shit even Thok. I'm terribly lazy to sit in que for half an hour to an hour just to get in and get out. Actually there is some gear in there I could use. Maybe like 2 pieces max. Well I could be sitting in que right now come to think of it. /sigh
I've been leveling my Alexstrasza lock so I really haven't been on Deadskully much. Ugh! 
WoW stories > leveling ANOTHER lock :-P
I might decide to do it tomorrow.
The crappy thing about this mount is that after you learn it, it sends all your toons a Hitching Post. This allows members in your party to click it and for 20 minutes, when they mount up all their mounts become Warforged Nightmares So you can have a stampede of them running around. Sooo really, if a group of people that always play together wanted the mount but don't want to spend the money for it, just one person needs to buy it and then, everyone else can reap the benefits. I don't like it, but then again, I'm not Blizzard and I'm not the one losing out on money. I guess this is a way to get people to play with their friends more which has been their ultimate plan. In that case, well done Blizz.

A Mother's Concern

My mom is so funny.... Because I post WoW Screenshots on my facebook regularly, the times when I don't post any, she gets concerned. Not that I'm dead or anything just that I'm happy when I'm gaming. I'm happy when I'm playing WoW. So if she doesn't see any screenshots or WoW Blog posts linked on my FB feed then she gets worried.
My daily routine consists of work, home, WoW, eat, sleep... and get up the next day and do it all over again. The highlight of my day is when I'm gaming.
Sadly this is all by my own choice. Friends ask if I wanna go out and I always kindly decline. Why? Because I have ingame dailies (CDs, quests, farm, auctions, etc.) that need to get done. That is the actions of a sad addict, that quite possibly might need help but refuses to change her ways. I don't deny I have a problem, I know I do. But it's not life threatening(I go to work, I eat, I sleep) so it's all good... It's just 'Social life' threatening. Although, in an MMO you can still make friends and chat with people etc.... I rarely do. People don't believe me when I say I have limited friends on my friends list. limited like less then 10 people. The ones that aren't active I delete off. Not like I need to make room for others but I just delete them off. But seriously, If I was more social ingame technically I would still have a social life, but I'm not.
So I can see why my Mom gets concerned about my mental well being. To be honest, sometimes I do as well.

4th 90 lock and new Affliction lock

I decided to make this all one post, because I'm feeling lazy. 
This post about my lock hitting 90 is extremely late, BUT SSaDay page was up to date when I hit 90. Hyjal is full on 90s again!!!
So anywhos, my 4th 90 lock, I did indeed stick with Destro all the way through. I'm having issues with Destro AoE I need to figure that shit out.

5th lock I'm gonna lvl is my Bloodelf Lock on Alexstrasza, she is 56 right now and unfortunatly I started her off as Affliction BUUUUTTTTT, killing shit was going so fuckin slow. I knew that was gonna happen. I had dual spec'd her before from Demo to Aff. 
 So I just switch back to Demo. Things are dying much quicker. But I am terribly disappointed at myself that I couldn't just suck it up and stick with Affliction.
