This is giving me the feels:



In addition to being funny, it's giving me PTSD flashbacks to my World of Warcraft days (and I don't think I have shame about that anymore?). I used to get so scared when I played. In fact, whenever I play any computer game, back then and now, I get way too scared and basically want to stop playing. Because I think I'm going to die.

Hilary Duff once told me (personally), "Don't let the fear of striking out... stop you from playing the game."

Fortunately, I did not let the fear of striking out in WoW stop me from playing the game. Instead, I had this super dope thing I did where, whenever I was faced with an imminent threat that I didn't think I could get out of, I would teleport away. Every player in the game has this stone thing (I forget the name... I think it may be hearth stone) where you can teleport back to your hometown or whatever. Once you use this, you have to wait an hour to use it again.

But I, being a super cool druid (which, by the way, meant that I could change into a cheetah, bear, panther and moonkin... Obviously, now you have to look up what a moonkin is because it's obviously a dope thing because I could become one), had this special ability to be able to teleport to the Super Special Druid Land on command. It took a while for the spell to work though so you had to stand, vulnerable, for several seconds.

I used to do this whenever I saw anyone scary from the enemy faction (THE HORDE. Okay, starting to feel the shame) approaching me. Except I would first root them to the ground with my other super awesome spell that... rooted them to the ground. Then I would spell myself away and would be fine.

I feel this was my most ingenious plan ever because I also like to imagine how pissed off that other person would be at me just running away whenever anyone got close to me.

My other ingenious plan in the grand scheme of WoW is this. In my super dope panther form, I could turn invisible. If someone else was a much higher level than me, they could kind of make out my form (like a ghost). So, if anyone scary approached me, I would turn into my invisible panther then sit in a bush, hoping the leaves would disguise me.

THIS IS BASICALLY HOW I LIVE MY LIFE NOW. I turn invisible then hide. And sometimes I wish I could teleport away.

In conclusion, this is maybe the nerdiest and most shameful of all my blog posts in the history of my blog(s).

You're welcome.
