I hate introductions.
I’ll say, “Hello, nice to meet you.”
They say, “Hi there.”
Then we sit, and I pray that a fire breaks out.
*click… click… click… (damn lighter)… whooooosh*
Ah, now that there’s a nice distracting fire, I can be more myself.
Allow me to introduce myself. I am a resto Druid deluxe by the name of Rezznul. Along with my Team Sportscoat guildies, I heal my way through the treacherous Bloodscalp progression rankings *cough*.
However, I’m not here to guide you on healing, or raid leading, or even running a guild. There are plenty of guides out there, lord knows I’ve read them all.
You see, I’m a hopeless noob. Sure, I cover it up quite well, but beneath my crunchy raid-tested coating, there’s a tasty center of noob-nougat that seeps out at times, like a defective Three Musketeers bar.
A friend of mine, you may know her, she has this little old blog called Disciplinary Action. I seemed to amuse her at times on Twitter (duh, I’m hilarious), and she convinced me I should give blogging a try.
As I was leveling yet another druid on Liala’s server, I remarked how easy it was to level now that I know how to play a druid. That sprung into a discussion of how I just can’t help but do things the hard way, and some of the embarassingly noobish things I’ve done in my WoW life.
With that as an inspiration, I at first was going to have the “Red Noob Diaries” be a featured column of the blog, but I like the name so much, I had to go for it.
I suppose I am going to be providing a guide. Β It’s just going to be an Anti-Guide — do the opposite, and you’ll be great.
All right, I need to go put out the fire before I burn the place down.
Whatwhat! Rezz, you’ll write amazing, wonderful, funny things.
Because you are HIGH-LARIOUS.
(Feed dat ego)
Why, thank you! =D
Awesome, Rezznul! Welcome to the blogosphere. You may be a noob, but you’re a funny noob. I’m looking forward to reading your posts. π
Well, I suppose it’s more accurate that I’m just plain old stubborn than noobish, but Red Stubborn Diaries doesn’t have the same flair. π
Welcome. The fire is nice. Can’t wait to see what you write next. π
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Welcome to blogging! I look forward to the anti-guide, just so I can see how much I have done wrong along the way.
Well, I’m of the “learn from your mistakes” school of thought. Sadly, my school is always in session. π
I’m a little late, but welcome to the blogosphere Rezznul!
Thank you! It’s been crazy the past few weeks, I need to get some of my percolating thoughts out soon. π
Oooh, fire…
Also a little late but welcome to the blogosphere! Really enjoyed your writing style so far, looking forward to seeing more.
Btw, I so think you should put at least some of this post in your about page, before this post gets lots in the archives. I think it would reassure both old and new players alike that this place is for them π
Why thank you, I appreciate the kind words.
That’s a great idea with merging this with the about page, thanks! π
Hey, welcome π How’d I miss this on twitter? Best of luck with the new blog π
I’ll forgive you, you’re a bit preoccupied at times lately. π
Also, thanks for the welcome! =D
