Atalanta/Shansa's Mount Journal (FINALLY)

[Atalanta]

Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm SO happy right now! I was going to camp for Poseidus after getting the Camel, but all day today my girlfriend was in Vashj'ir while she's studying for an exam. I've told her not to do that a thousand times, but she wouldn't have any of it (Just as well!!). So, we're all outside and waiting to go into Firelands and she said "get on skype, I need to send you a screenshot". Me thinking she'd had no luck in Vasnj'ir all day, thought this was a screenie of her finding him dead. She called the picture "Santaclaus", I WTF'd and saved it, but then went crazy when I opened it up. She had killed him and looted him, and then told me to tab back into WoW where she traded me the gift box with him inside it. I was so happy and touched she did this for me, when she didn't have to. She can't stand camping anything, not even for herself. So to know she was there all day today, even while studying, it really brings a tear to my eye. She's so special... <3

And thanks to Zhuge (<3!), I have the perfect name for him. I'd like you all to meet Joey:



He's so perfect, I love him. I'm gonna sit in Orgrimmar up by Valley of Honor, in that little pool of water!

[Snowy]

Oohh that's so sweet! I'm actually kinda jealous, despite having no feelings for that mount whatsoever. But what a thing for a special someone to do! <3

[Britany]

Huge congrats! <3 What a great thing for your girlfriend to do! Poseidus is a beautiful mount

[meepitco]

Major major gratz!

[Echo]

Huge Grats Atalanta!!!

[Atalanta]

Midnight doesn't want to drop the pretty mount. :<

Nada from anything this week to be honest. I was gonna get myself a Vial, but my girlfriend said she wants to get me that as a christmas present. <3

What do you guys think about the RBG mount? The Wolf? Wondering if I should do PvP again and try to go for one of them.

[Nili]

Mister Time Lost better freaking spawn for you tonight! or I'll come down and break his neck myself rawr! <3

[Schwert]

Wolf Mount?

To me - So worth it if you can put the time in!
I personally just went prot (warrior) just to give it a go at that baby. So. So worth it.

[Nili]

I just read your real id status.
Grats on your sandstone drake yey

[Atalanta]

Thanks! <3

Just had one of those weeks were everything seems to go wrong at once, and I've been pretty miserable. I guess my best friend and my girlfriend knew about that, and went halves on getting it, they told me! It definitely cheered me up.

[Atalanta]

I think I found my 12th or 13th dud figurine just now. ¬_¬

Anyways, yesterday I actually kicked myself in the bottom and got my TB dailies done, getting the drake. That brought me to 129 mounts, but as we decided to kill Ragnaros on normal last night so a Guildy could get his legendary, we were left with nothing to do for the rest of the raid night. I suggested going to BoT and getting the Twilight Council on heroic, as the previous 25 man Guild we were in sucked and couldn't do it. We got it down, which was my last achievement for the T11 drake.

130 mounts! \ o /

I'm still trying to get a few from the Argent Tournament, but ugh, effort. They're so boring. >.>

On an IRL note, I have to do some Christmas shopping soon. I.HATE.CHRISTMAS.SHOPPING. D:
I actually dislike shopping in general... but this time of year, I'm always in a grumpy mood because it's so stressful to get things for everyone. On top of that, everyone in my family gets me to wrap their presents because I'm the only one who can do it properly, apparently.

[Snowy]

130 mounts! \ o /

Holy hell... Do you have a Warcraft Mounts account so I can see all your purdy mounts? (I hate the armory lol)

Also I hate Christmas shopping too, no worries. Knowing you HAVE to find something for EVERYONE is rather nerve wracking. >: But luckily, family members are often sorted for me since my mum always seems to know what we could get for other people and she helps me to pick out presents for my little sister. Shopping for my mother, however, is hard. She likes expensive jewellry I cannot afford and often the most specific of stuff. More often than not I'll end up buying something for her that I think she'll like as well as something she's asked for, but this year I have to get her something extra special for letting me have £90 worth of games before Christmas. (£50 Revelations Collector's Edition, £40 Skyrim)

[Atalanta]

I don't Chaoyll. I suppose I could get one though...

Here's my update for last week and today.

No Camel, Midnight or Blue Proto-Drake. Earlier this week though, I found it quite humorous that a Guildy thought he'd attempt UP "just to see" if it'd drop. What do you think happened? *eye-twitch*

I'm gonna go in there now everyday thinking that... xD

Also during last week, I saw someone in trade chat asking for people for OS3D. I've done that place to hell, I'm so sick of it. But I didn't have the 25 man mount, so thought why not. There was about 15 people in the raid, and my luck is usually terrible. You guys should see the rolls I do, too. It's quite heartbreaking. For example, when we first killed LK 25 HC and Invincible was there, waiting to be rolled on, I rolled a 96. Another guy (WHO DOESN'T EVEN USE HIM) rolled 98. FML, big time. Same happened with the OS drake, rofl. I rolled something like 80, and another guy rolled something in the 90's. I /w him, offered 15k for the mount. He accepted the deal. I think that's quite cheap tbh, I would have paid a bit more.



Don't have a name for him; any suggestions?

As for any kind of update on the Camel... Samskeyti told me that a Hunter on Horde-Side found the real figurine, and it wasn't long after I left the zone either... I was of course, really upset and angry with myself for that. I had this really weird feeling all day, which is why I lingered in the zone for an hour or so. Then I sorta went, "I'll take my chances and go level my Warlock up a bit" - doh!

So today, I'm flying around and doing my usual route, SUDDENLY A WILD DEATHWING APPEARS



My futile attempt to fly to safety is met by...



LOLNO, YOU GON DIE.

[Zhuge]

Deathwing stalks those of us in Uldum looking for camels lol!

GZ on ur shiney new drake!! He's very pretty!

I wish I had done the LK, never mind SEE Invincible drop My sister is trying to convince me to get small groups together to go get him, but I'm not sure how many we would need xD

GL on ur mount hunts! <3

[Samskeyti]

Oh you got pretty shiny blue-winged beauty!!! Grats!! I always, always lose mountrolls. Always. Aww but he matches Shansa so well ! I'm sorry about the missed figurine, but Deathwing's quite the sight too! I'm sure you'll get it, it's bound to happen.

[Atalanta]

Thanks guys!

I bought the last book in the Eragon series a few days ago, so I'm gonna be absolutely lost in that for a while. Wondering if I should sit Ata in Storm Peaks while I'm reading? :p I've been doing it with Shansa in Uldum, but I've been told about 500 times or so NOT to be stationary when looking for the Camel. >.>

[Samskeyti]

Storm Peaks is a good idea. Maybe Ulduar spawn for peace and quiet

[Schwert]

Yes!

I actually read the Arthas book while I was camping in Storm Peaks myself. Oooh the memories.

[Atalanta]

I've been so addicted to Skyrim the past couple of days. I'm gonna sit Ata at the Waterfall (Frozen Lake is generally taken...) so I'll switch up my sound and make sure I'll hear NPCscan if anything goes off. :p

[Snowy]

Same here. It's stealing all my time, life and WoW time away! Sometimes being a gamer isn't the best thing ever. ^^;
