Mini-Post: Lap Cats!

Crooked and I always tell each other when we are raiding with cats on our laps, which is pretty often. I received a tweet from Soralin today telling me that pet cats in WoW sit in your lap when you /sit with them targetted. Of course, I had to try! It wasn't working on my Orc for some reason, so I rushed over to my Goblin after raid to try it out.

I can have Floki on my lap IRL and in-game now!
Having my in-game version of Casper on my lap is bittersweet.

This makes me very happy! :)

Not So Regular

As an achievement hunter, the achievements for doing nothing are usually seen as free point to bump up my total, but there is one I haven't been so keen on.
I hated the outhouse quest in Grizzly Hills as Alliance, and I've always disliked any quest related to picking up or rifling through poo!

I commented to a couple of friends about how much I disliked it, and there were a lot of comments in guild initially when people where getting the achievement. I refused to get it as a joke at first, thinking I would just log on when no one was on to click the outhouse for the points but then as time went by and I still hadn't clicked on the outhouse I decided it would be the last garrison achievement I get.
People keep threatening to use the Swapblaster on me, or cast Leap of Faith to put my character so close to the outhouse that I accidentally click on it. This would be easiest in the Level 2 Alliance garrison, I have almost clicked it a couple of times, panicking a little as I realise just how close my cursor is to those 5 points!

Inb4 the addition of even more outhouses and achievements like [Potty Trained!] - Relieve yourself in every outhouse. Ew, and let's hope we never see any rares toys or pets gained by using the outhouse! YUCK! Tbh, I am surprised there aren't any yet.
With more garrison achievements being added in 6.2, it looks like I will have even more time without using the outhouse, making my character as irregular as my blog posts!

Liebster Award

 

Navimie tagged me for a Liebster award last year but due to busy/lazy life, I put it aside, but as she nominated me again this year, and I had already half finished it, I will half participate this year! I won't be tagging and making questions. So here are my answers to Navimie's questions and 11 random facts:

Who is your favourite villain and why?
The Wicked Witch of the West! I have loved The Wizard of Oz since my Mum hired it for me one day when I was home from school sick. I watched it twice that day, once when my sister came home from school and she liked Glinda... of course. I've always felt bad for her, her sister is dead! Of course she is upset!

What sport do you wish you were really good at?
I don't think I wish I was really good at any sport, I am not bad at sports, but I do wish I had the time to commit to playing a team sport.

Tell me who is your favourite Disney character and why.
Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland. He is a mischievous cat, of course I love him! :D 

If you were granted one wish of anything you wanted, what would you wish for?
For every cat to have a happy home! For every animal to live without cruelty.

What is the dumbest thing you have done in regards to your computer?
Hmmm, I don't clean it as much as I should for someone who lets cats sleep on the top vents. I also rarely turn it off. I probably go to websites that are dangerous while looking for TV shows.

If you had the ability to go back in time, who would you want to meet and what would be the one burning question you would ask them?
I feel like I'd end up in a situation like 'You can travel back in time to talk to this person but HAHA... You don't speak their language!' From a psychological POV, I'd like to ask a lot of bad people what they feel was the turning point that lead them to the things they did.

You have won a Nobel Prize! What do you wish you won the prize for?
Saving all the animals!
Which would be more devastating - loss of hearing, loss of vision or loss of both hands?
Hearing probably. I am always listening to music. Any of them would be awful though!

In World of Warcraft, who would you like to see as a boss encounter one day, and how would you design that fight?
I'd like to see a goblin female boss, in an engineering workshop where to defeat her, you must use her inventions against her!

What is the most embarrassing thing you've said to someone you wanted to impress?
I can't think of anything I've said to try to impress someone, but I have failed to say anything in front of people I have wanted to impress. When I was in Yr 9, my cousin was staying with my family for the holidays and he was friends with an older guy whom I had a crush on, the guy came to my house one day, I answered the door, he asked if my cousin were home and I just stared at him. He stared back at me and then said 'Well, is he?' I let him in the house and showed him to the living room where my cousin was and then hid in my room til I knew he was gone.

You've been chosen to go onto a game show! Which game show would you go on?
Pointless or Countdown!

The object of Pointless is to to provide a correct answer that the least amount of people surveyed gave. Think the opposite of Family Feud (kind of)! The game has 4 teams and the team with the most points at the end of each round is eliminated.

Countdown I have only seen a few times, but I loved it! It has 2 types of rounds, letter rounds and a numbers round. For the letter rounds one contestant will choose 9 tiles with letters on them and are then asked to find the largest word they can from those letters. (Navi would love this game)! The contestant with the most points wins the points for that round. For the numbers round, a contestant will choose 6 random number tiles. A random 3 digit number is then generated and the contestants are tasked with combining the 6 numbers from the tiles to reach the RNG number using using addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

11 Random Luxy facts:
  • It takes me a really long time to choose between Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Fudge Brownie and Strawberry Cheesecake, like, a reeeaaaallllllllly long time. Half an hour in 7-Eleven kind of long time.
  • I <3 every cat
  • And cat people. I don't just want to be friends with every cat, I want to be friends with every person who loves cat.
  • I am allergic to bananas.
  • I regularly watch the end of the last episode of Six Feet Under just to cry.
  • I like covers of David Bowie songs more than the originals. Like Bauhaus, Nina Hagen and Seu Jorge.
  • I once sat stationary in my car for 20 minutes while a kangaroo stood in front of me because I was too scared to drive around a corner on the wrong side of the road to pass it. Yay, country roads.
  • My head is kind of small, regular headsets set to the smallest are still kind of too big for me.
  • I also happen to break headsets a lot. Not just my own, don't leave your headsets near me. EVER. I don't have a habit of breaking things aside from headsets though, so everything else is safe.
  • I love horror movies. All of them, even the reallllyyyyy bad ones.
  • I am addicted to Chapstick. Pomegranate Gumdrop being my current favourite. 
My current hoard of Chapsticks!

I will tryyyy to post something WoW related soon, but I've done so much in WoD, where would I start?
