Should WoW characters get their own blogs separate from the people who play them? What would one sound like? If it were written by my character Sandmoose it might sound a bit like this.
"I've come to the realization I've been training in the wrong talents. While other warriors have specialized primarily in one area I have made the mistake of spreading myself too thin. When running about in dungeons with others they often complain I die too easily or that I don't hold the enemies attention as much as I should.
Plus, I hate being a Wisp! For some reason the whole process of releasing my spirit to the nearest graveyard produces a seriously rank odor that I can't get out of my nostrils for several minutes.
So I decided to take my money to the trainer in Iron Forge and I paid him to break me of everything I've learned and retrain me in the art of protection. He was pretty cool about it. He only charged me one gold piece. However, he said if I ever want to do it again it'll cost me more. Anyway, I've noticed a significant difference in real world fighting. I'm now able to fulfill the "tank" role better now. I still have to get used to using my new abilities and this big shield I carry around now.
Most of my gear has been upgraded appropriately save for a couple of critical pieces: chest armor and leggings. For those pieces I'm still wearing the same items I got back in my mid-20's. I'm pretty sure that with some proper upgrades of those two items I'll be able to come into my own as a real tank.
I've been kicking around Tanaris a lot lately. It's definitely a big change from Stranglethorn Vale -- or STV as the kids like to say. There's not much too look at except for a bunch of sand though. Not many minerals to mine either unless I want to head up to Shimmering Flats to raid a couple of Mithril deposits. But they're all slimy and I hate those bugs.
That reminds me. I have someone's head in one of my bags I need to take to some dude at Steamwheadle Port or whatever that place is called. I really should do that soon. Think about it. I have a severed head in one of my bags! It's disgusting! What's even more bizarre is that my wife (the rogue Elorinn) has the same severed head in one of her bags! How one body produced two heads I don't know but there you go. I hope it's not in the same bag as my cheese and bread. Lemme check real quick.

Okay, it's not. But it is getting blood all over my newly smelted Mithril Bars. Oh well. Gotta go get rid of this head. Later.
