I always forget...

...That I'm "somebody else" to somebody else. Because this kind of thing doesn't just happen to me.

I never was good at camping. I was excited by the prospect of Poseidus, but he became ultra rare, so I just ended up checking his spawn spots every now and then. It yielded a lot of no seahorse. I eventually gave up - there was no chance.

Well, today I was playing my lowbie hunter and I decided - randomly - that I wanted to find a rarespawn. I logged on my main to look for Aeonaxx and saw nothing, as usual, so after flying circles around Stormwind for a while I decided to look for Poseidus.

Well, we all know where this is going, right? Needless to say, when NPCscan went off and he turned up *not dead*, I freaked out. But he was mine.

For a moment I wondered if I wanted to sell him, but no. I don't need gold. What would I use it for, a Stone Drake? I already have tons of flying mounts!

Mine, all mine.

In other news, trying to get the 100 Mounts achievement has gotten me some amazing mounts that I never thought I'd ever see. I'm filling up the barn with rare mounts instead of the easy to get Argent Tourny ones, too.

Congrats!

(I got a little excited there, when at first glance, I thought your new mount was some sort of silithid mutant thing. Must. Dig. More.)

I was such an idiot when I saw NPCscan pop, too. First thing I do - turn the wrong direction wondering if he got a new spawn point. "WOW, he spawned behind me?!" Derp... Then I spammed Arcane Shot before I was close enough to attack, which knocked me off my mount, so I had to swim slooowly towards him. DERP. (And of course, once I killed him, I got the "Stuck swimming up" bug and had to smash my keys for a while until I could loot him.)

Funny thing... After spamming my guild with random excited chatter, I slowly realized that he'd dropped two epics, not just one. Opened my bag and found the epic shield he dropped. Durrrr.
