008 - One Post a Month. Joy.

Got a bit bored of WoW at the moment so I decided to check back on what's happening with these blogs.

Came on. Checked the Comments. Read the comments. Smiled.

I really want to thank Tinna and Flare for making that comment even though it may have been a while ago. [I didn't check the date of it.] It lifted my spirits and I really want to thank you.

Thank you! Greatly appreciated.

Back then I was a disaster. Now? I'm okay. For now.

Anyway. School's a drag. They keep changing my scheduling of classes all over the place. Have Fridays off? "Nope! We'll throw in an order of class shifting for you!" --Great.

Oh well. One class a day except for Tuesday; 2 classes, its not too bad.

Have yet to call Sandy; I forgot her last name, to book a driving class timing thing for highway driving. Kind of excited for that actually. Fast speeds? Me? Wow...

[Warning] Mad-man driver on the loose.

I've been reading 'Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul on Tough Stuff' - unknown auther at the moment; [Sorry!]. Wow, those stories, I swear, everytime I finish one, it makes me smile. Well... with the occasional boring stories here and there, but hey! Those stories are pretty good. It sort of reminds me of the fact that even though I might have it bad at the moment, there are far more people who has it far more worse than me.

Of course, happy not because 'haha,' they have it worse than me, but more like, 'Wow,' I'm so much more fortunate than those. Why am I sulking about what's happening to me now? -- Ha.

Meanwhile -- Kevo has quit WoW with the excuse of having a lot of homework. Legitimate reasoning... I guess. What kind of annoys me is that he chose to play on a private server where, with a click of a button, he can get any type of gear or whatnot that he wants. Okay, sure, its his choice anyway. Oh, that's not what annoys me, but rather, the fact that he then starts saying how, "Hey Kevin, I have ______, _____, _____, and _____." With due to all respect, I mean, no offense to Kevo, but wow. Now that, that kind of ticks me off. There was a few times where I kind of just logged off of vent when he starts talking about stuff on the private server.

But hey! Ah, the art of copying and pasting from the ToS:

"Only Blizzard or its licensees have the right to host the Game. You may not host or provide matchmaking services for the Game, or intercept, emulate or redirect the proprietary communication protocols used by Blizzard in connection with the Program, regardless of the method used to do so. Such prohibited methods may include, but are not limited to, protocol emulation, reverse engineering, modifying the Program, adding unauthorized components to the Program, or using a packet sniffer while the Program is running." [4.1]

--Source: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/legal/termsofuse.html

Oh yea...Under the EULA, this too:
"You agree that you shall not, under any circumstances,
(iv) facilitate, create or maintain any unauthorized connection to the Game or the Service, including without limitation any connection to any unauthorized server that emulates, or attempts to emulate, the Service. All connections to the Game and/or the Service, whether created by the Game Client or by other tools and utilities, may only be made through methods and means expressly approved by Blizzard. Under no circumstances may you connect, or create tools that allow you or others to connect, to the Game's proprietary interface other than those expressly provided by Blizzard for public use." [4.B.iv]
Risky! Very risky!

Haha, the crap you go through amazes me sometimes. I mean it's like at some point this month I went through the same thing. I mean I thought what I was going through sucked with being I suppose "unprepared" for college, all the work load, and a bit off topic but relationship problems. However, I always try to tell myself the same thing you do. People have it worse, why am I sitting here whining about it?

Ah... The private servers, the worst crap ever made for any game. There are actually some people I've known in maple who have quit for a PS. While I don't exactly like the idea of them being in one I'm glad that they don't brag about so called "godly" equips that they have. There's nothing to brag about lol, so you clicked a button and picked what you want? So? Go get it in the real servers then talk.

Hah... Well maybe I'll post a little update for you WoW people just to show how everything is going and such. Keep at it Solar, stay optimistic.
