 wake up, wake up
this night is gone
wake up

abandon abandon
even your dear self
abandon

there is an idiot
in our market place
selling a precious soul

if you doubt my word
get up this moment
and head for the market now

don't listen to trickery
don't listen to the witches
don't wash blood with blood

first turn yourself upside down
empty yourself like a cup of wine
then fill to the brim with the essence

a voice is descending
from the heavens
a healer is coming

if you desire healing
let yourself fall ill
let yourself fall ill

- Ghazal (Ode) 2133

Did a little updating on last night, just some dying and cosmetics stuff. I was on the windrider and had nothing better to do between Moonglade & TB & then TB to Gadgetzan. Rob's been in the battlegrounds lately & he seems to have pissed off an entire server. Every time someone from Sargeras sees Hellhound, they go after him like he stole their birthdays or something. My Druid hit lvl 45 last night - 10 more lvls & I'll have qualified to make a Death Knight once WotLK is released. I probably won't enjoy the DK class - Warriors in WoW are so boring to play, that straight-up melee class, ugh. The concept of a Paladin is cool in theory, but in practice they proved to be either a Warrior who sucked at tanking or an over-armored Priest that sucked at healing. Bubbles are over-rated.

Your result for What Mage Are You?...

Gypsy


Gypsies are visionaries. They are quick to see complex interrelationships between people, things, and ideas. The result is an in-depth understanding of the way things and relationships work, and how they can be improved. To the Gypsy, competence and intelligence are particularly prized, both in themselves and in other people.



Gypsies are frequently described as clever, cerebrally and verbally quick, enthusiastic, outgoing, innovative, and resourceful. They are motivated by a desire to understand and improve the world they live in. They are usually accurate in sizing up a situation. They may have a perverse sense of humor and sometimes play devil's advocate, which can create misunderstandings with friends, coworkers, and family. Otherwise they are ingenious and adept at directing relationships between means and ends. “Think outside the box," devising fresh, unexpected solutions to difficult problems are a few ways to picture them in action.



However, they are less interested in generating and following through with detailed plans than in generating ideas and possibilities. When Gypsies are used correctly on a team, they offer deep understanding and a high degree of flexibility and problem solving ability. They regard comments like "it can't be done" as a personal challenge, and, if properly motivated, will spare no expense to discover a solution.



If you've ever witnessed a miracle while listening to a song, you can bet that it's the work of a Gypsy. No matter how desperate the situation may seem, their song and dance will inspire you to achieve a miraculous victory. Enemies will lose everything, even their hearts. Gypsies understand their opponents better than most and so they know how to use their enchantments, adept illusions and dangerous charm. One might never know their losing until they wake up - that is if they do. Most are diviners, capable of telling the stories to come.
