Conversation on WoW

Home } Games } Conversation on WoW

Slow lazy day today. And hot, too, hotter than a typical Southern Oregon summer day. We all vegged at the computer today, Jake spending hours on Wikipedia, Karen and I taking turns playing World of Warcraft.

A guy who goes by the name Theprofessor came through Felwood and gave me a couple of Druidic buffs. I thanked him, he np’d me back and moved on, like Clint Eastwood drifting through the High Plains. An hour later he reappeared and buffed me again. My character, Shewitch, whispered to him, “Thanks.”

Theprofessor: np

Shewitch: Are you a professor in real life?

Theprofessor: lol no. Are you a Shewitch in real life?

Shewitch: No, but I married one.

Theprofessor: Hah!

Shewitch: But I used to be a prof.

Theprofessor: Really? What did u teach?

Shewitch: med school. I’m an ear, nose, throat surgeon.

Theprofessor: ur doing this to relax

Shewitch: Yup. I write stories and I play WoW.

Theprofessor: cool

Shewitch: but I’m too tired to write. Rather kill stuff. Sometimes as a doc it’s fun to kill stuff for a change.

Lest you feel like reporting me to my State Medical Board, I hasten to add I’ve been killing beasts, furbolgs, and naga. No humans.

Here’s a furbolg. Wouldn’t you want to kill it?

I felt it would be worthwhile to post this so that the less technical of you would realize, not all instant messaging consists of have u stroked it 2nite?
