Busy trying to make a few pennies

If you don’t know me, I have tons of things I want to do. Most of the time I don’t get around to it, but sometimes I do! Like my Coldplay cover, or trying to pursue my teaching career.

One thing I’ve always wanted to do was to make something and sell it. So, I finally sat down with a couple ideas I’ve always had in my head and put it into fruition.

Ever since I watched The Other Boleyn Girl, I wanted Natalie’s necklace. It’s actually historical because it was based off the necklace Anne worn in her portrait.

This is my modern version.

Also, some hair clips based on World of Warcraft, or whatever else you want to clip on. It’s special because you can change them using the snaps.

Aaaaand, a moogle clip.

I’ve added a wordpress page up top! It says “store”. It will point you to my etsy site, or you can find it directly here: thelnie.etsy.com

WoW is everywhere

Today I wore my BlizzCon08 shirt to work today, over a long sleeved shirt. I got through the first class without incident, and I went up to the teacher and he said

Mr. S: By the way, Mrs. M (the other teacher I work under), her husband plays that game. He gets together with friends and they like…play. WoW right?

Me: Oh! Yeah. Does she play too?

Mr. S: Nooooo noooo…she…..she hates it. It’s the bane of her existence.

Me: Ooooh haha…I know how she feels…

Later on, in the second class, this kid goes

Kid: OMG you went to BlizzCon too?! What, what do you have?

Me: oh…..<sheepish> a priest…

Kid: I’m Undead Warlock! Dude! <calls out to other kid> She plays WoW!

Other kid: What?

<unintelligible shoutings back and forth of I don’t know what but it had something to do with the armory…and the fact that Kid1 was still level 72, and he was denying it…>

Then, I went to Mrs. M’s class

Mrs. M: Do you play World of Warcraft?……

Me: Yes…

Mrs. M: I’m a WoW widow…….okay???? It’s…..it’s just….wow. I catch him sneaking around to play that game…he gets together with his friends, because they work at Blizzard…

Me: >_<

Girl: ooh my brother plays too, he used to play Everquest also…

I think if you got all the WoW players together, they would be a small country…like Sweden or something. That might have changed since last year by now though. A little bigger. Soon, nobody will do anything but play in the alternate reality of WoW. Raiding is a full-time job and we’ll be fed by tubes in our chairs. And conflicts between countries will be resolved by 5-man arenas.

Remembering…Computer Expo in Taiwan

uhh...random!

When I go to Taiwan in the summer, I look forward to the computer expo in Taipei. They usually have Intel there, which presents WoW. This video was from 2005. I dug it up. It’s pretty lols. My favorite part is the gnome kids.

Get the Flash Player to see this content.

At this time, Taiwan hadn’t gotten WoW yet, so they didn’t really know how to play it. I was actually able to sign onto my US account from there too. Epeeeen. And I got to embarrass the guys there by teaching them how to play. kekekeke.

Halloween!

Trying to do the MC Hammer/ Male Orc dance. Can’t touch this! Daa na na naa. na na. nana. Can’t touch this!

Well, I didn’t intend on dressing up. I really didn’t. But I had the paper mask laying around from BlizzCon, and the tabard is something I made for last year’s BlizzCon, and the mark was laying around too….So I put it all together. I was going to wear my pirate costume…but I thought it might be a little too much. Unfortunately, I decided I wasn’t going to wear it to pass out candy because…I just didn’t think the kids would get it. So I only wore this around the house for awhile. hehe.
