Small News?
Remember the online Target application that I didn't really mean to send but inadvertantly did? Well apparently they got it and it caught their eye, because some lady from there left a message on my cell phone earlier today. I didn't receive the message until tonight though, around 7, and I tried calling her back but her machine said she was out (not too surprising). She wants to set up a phone interview a couple of weeks for now. Okay, I guess. I was getting away from trying to find another retail job, but as long as they can pay me more than Brooks and I can get health insurance, I guess I will take it. I don't like that it's a phone interview because you already know that I HATE talking on the phone and it's just not easy for me to turn on the charm while doing so, hehe. Soooo, I'll call her again tomorrow morning and hopefully I'll catch her so we won't have to keep playing phone tag.
No other news for today, really. I decided to make my World of Warcraft character an orc, and we were doing really well! I was leveling quickly, completing bunches of quests and learning all types of skills. . .and then I fell off a mountain.
Umm, yeah. I did. I had just completed this quest that was up on this mountainous/cliff-y area and while trying to get back to the village, I got lost and ended up falling off the edge and into some random body of water. Normally, dying in this game isn't a problem because you technically can't. Your spirit reappears at the closest cemetery, and you have to run back to where your corpse is, ressurect yourself, and just keep playing. Problem was, I fell off the cliff into an area that was meant for people at a WAY higher level. Not only that, but the closest burial ground was incredibly far away, and I had to find the hidden path to get to where I fell off. Not fun! I did it though, but no more than a second after I resurrected my body, hoping to find my way back, was I attacked by some huge sea monster-- and I died AGAIN! This happened about five times, and finally I got so frustrated because there was NO POSSIBLE WAY for me to get out of that area that I had to delete my character. :( I decided to try out an undead character this time, and hopefully I won't fall off any ledges into way more advanced areas of the game!

They should put up signs or something - warning people not to fall off the cliff.
I hate it in games where you fall into an area and the game doesn't realise you can't move. And you get stuck there - forever.
I guess people getting stuck is a pretty common problem in this game, because "how to get unstuck" was one of the main things on the Help page! This was even more frustrating though, because if that stupid monster hadn't been there to *immediately* kill me every time, I might have been able to get away. Oh well, my undead warrior is better, hehe.
