tek2way ◾ ◾ *tap tap* Does this thing still work?

With the advent of Facebook, I've found fewer and fewer reasons to come back to LJ. It's not that I dislike LiveJournal, but a 500 character quickie update several times a day is easier to get done than a single post, which for me is usually long enough that folks skip past it anyway. That said, I love typing journal entries, so I have no real excuse for not updating at least a little more often. I have to make the time. (Side note: This is another chance for those on my friends list to add me to their Facebook, if they'd like: Anthony Adkins, in Memphis, TN.)

Sadly, the purpose of this post is not going to be very long, because it's a dream I had last night that is already fading. Even though I've not seen the movie, what I experienced in my dreams last night could best be described as "2012 comes to the World of Warcraft comes to real life". Basically, I was me and those I knew -- for the most part -- were those I knew. Oh, you had mages and a few things like that running around, and I seem to remember that even I could cast spells, but it was real life. I watched dozens and dozens of cars drive down an empty highway, all headed away from the city they'd been in. However, I saw wraith-like apparitions floating around a very Blood Elf-like collection of buildings.

I remember that the group (2.. 3 others?) I was with were looking for supplies. I think I wasn't level cap either, because I wanted to find the trainer's old books for the stuff I didn't know yet. I did sneak to the third floor of one of the blood elf buildings, looking for old quest rewards stockpiled in a small room. The quest rewards were... not quite food, but weren't weapons or armor either. I guess it was just Vital Stuff™. :) At one point, I almost got into a fight, because a monster's nameplate showed up in my field of view (for those WoW players reading, I tend to play with enemy nameplates enabled -- hit "V" on your keyboard by default. Yeah, that red bar with the name just above it when you're less than 30 or so yards away). I tried to fight it, but like in WoW, when the monster is behind a wall or such, you can't actually hit it.

Right before I woke up, I had snuck to a weapon shop to find something I could fight with, and I didn't like how their katanas, wakizashis, or tantos were made, and was learning about a musical instrument I'd picked up (which doesn't match a REAL musical instrument at all).

Anyway, it was a very surreal dream, because of exactly what it was, and I had to share a little bit that happened. What a way to start my week of vacation! :)
