Today when I was playing I realized how ridiculous the things we need to do to get a level higher are. I wanted to get to level four so I killed a bunch of wolves... I felt like Sarah Palin. It's kind of sad really, we're just wiping out the entire timber wolf population so we can get a pumpkin or a dagger. Like, I appreciate the pumpkin, but I could also just conjure it myself without causing mass extinction. Something I  noticed about myself though, is that I get sad killing wolves because they're cute and pretty, but I don't mind killing the vermin at all... they're very gross. I guess I'm just feeding into the aesthetic part of it there. 

Also on the aesthetic side, all my guy friends are like, Molly why are you a human? and I'm like duh, because I could make her really pretty. It's the same reason I'm a mage. Again, buying into that, I could make a human mage prettier than any other race, so obviously I picked that. It goes with what we talked about with the Remember Not to Die article-- it's definitely true that I will pick someone prettier even if they're not great at the game. I've always been like that too, I've been playing video games since I was young and I always pick people like Peach or the gorgeous fierce Russian assassin in James Bond games.

Here's a link I found to a funny  article from cracked.com, which you all should read because its hysterical:http://www.cracked.com/article_16782_6-ways-world-warcraft-worse-than-real-life.html

Seriously, the thing about it being like work? YES. It completely gets so monotonous!!! Like, oh I have to go kill another rabbit... why? I just want to do something awesome like have a swordfight. Also the guilds-- it's intimidating! "You might have noticed that most political offices don't have that kind of vetting process." It's funny because it's true. Also number 4: Prejudice is alive and well in the game world. It is! It gets scary being new... I'm always afraid I'll be attacked and pillaged then taken advantage of! I also face prejudice because I'm pretty-- people might think I'm stupid. Which, at this point I still am, but I could totally get completely awesome!! It's too bad, really.
