Mercilessly slaughter your enemies while you give yourself a pedicure

Alrighty everyone. It has come to my attention that some of us don't know what "PvP" means. Following is a short explanation.
WARNING: This is the confession of a self-aknowledged geek.
In case any of you have not heard, there is an online game called World of Warcraft. Also, in case any of you have not heard Phil and I play this game together on a regular basis (it's cheaper than golfing together and we don't have to get a babysitter).
There are two basic elements to this game, World play and PvP. World play involves questing, fighting computer controlled monsters and gathering resources from the world to make into nifty things.
PvP means 'Player vs Player' and is the second major part of this game. It involves fighting other real people who are members of the opposing faction. You can do this in the world area or in separate areas called "battlegrounds" which are made specifically for this function.
I really like this aspect of the game because it adds an extreme element of unpredictability. Literally, you NEVER know what another player is going to decide to do. It's exciting and rewarding, for me, anyway.
And like I said, Phil and I can do this together after the girls go down for the night and no babysitter is required. I can even paint my nails during some of the downtime in the game. It's great.
I LOVE this game. :)

Well, there ya go. Any further questions can be directed to my lawyer, Cairne Bloodhoof.

What were you doing ten years ago?
It was the summer after my Sophomore year of high school and I was proudly working my first real job as a Sandwich Artist. Subway was great. The People were crazy and there wasn’t a deep fat fryer to deal with which is a plus for any job. That summer I became good friends with the guys who worked in Joe’s Coffee shop next door and I traded sandwiches for steamers (steamed milk with flavoring). I must have gained 10 pounds that summer.


What were you doing one year ago?
We had just finalized our first mortgage and were on our way to or were already in Pasco, vacationing on the sunny shores of the Columbia River.
