This is one of those posts where a few most all of you may want to turn your head and cough or ponder the wasteful ‘b‘ in ‘doubt‘ or ‘k‘ in ‘knee‘ (unless you’re a wiener like me and say things like, ‘i can’t do yoga because it makes my kanees kahurt). It’s about my gaming crack habit….yep, time to revisit Runescape.
I’ve been thinking about my original Runescape post when I first hopped on the Runescape bandwagon and how I was bragging about bronze swords and slaying goblins and giant rats. Umm, total NOOB in the hizzouse, holla! (i hear your mental wheels turning…the ‘p’ in ‘pneumonia’, seriously). I’m surprised any true runescapers who happened across that post have not left a slew of Nerd! N00b! Die, Nub, Die! comments. I saw this group of lads and lassies lining up for a quest of some sort the other day as headless me was woodcutting in the background. Your public comments hover over your head in yellow lettering. They did this for a solid 15 minutes, verbally lashing out at one another. Sweethearts, they are.
I told you how I originally jumped on board to chat with Gav when I see him online. I should have known from the all-nighters I pulled to conquer Zelda way back during archaic original Nintendo days that I’d easily get sucked into the Runescape vortex. While I don’t play all the time (i can’t, obviously) (but, boy if i could, i would no douBt be climbing the hiscores chart), I do play while breastfeeding. Don’t think Ethan’s giant stature is coming from a cow just yet. No, that boy’s dairy is all Titty Baby. Sooo, I’m up to a combat level of 72 (the highest you can go is 138…surely i can work these skillz in a resume…attention to animated detail? ability to focus on multiple ice warriors at once? independently kicks much ass?).
Runescape dudes regularly run up to me to blurt out, “You’re hawt!” or “Be my gf! Please, please, please be my gf!” I joke with Gav about how emotionally damaging it would be if they knew what I was actually up to while training attack against hill giants in the Varrock sewers…breastfeeding twins (how unsanitary of me to feed my babies in a sewer, i know). Of course, it would be b oo bee feeding because you can’t say breast on runescape. Nor can you say hooker or pimp. But, h00k r and p i/\/\p, yes. Many of the girls and guys on Runescape dress like h00k rs and p i/\/\ps, respectively.
While Gav and I chat often on the Runescape site, we don’t “hang out” on the steps of Lumbridge Castle or anything. We met up online for the first time in a while recently. It’s odd seeing your child in 3D graphics. And, like any sentimental mother would do, I took a bunch of photos.
Here we are side by side. I don’t wear h00k r clothes while woodcutting. Honestly, I don’t wear them at all because that would just be gross, 37-year old me running around kids and teenagers on Runescape with hootchie mama clothes on. Yeh, I don’t think so.
I thought it was funny, with all the skin color options available, we both independently chose a dark tan. We are ghosts IRL, people. So very white. Gav probably has the genetic ability to get a nice tan. Me? Once upon a firm breasts and ass time, sure. Now? I oscillate between pink and translucent. Melanin has left the building, folks.
So, there. You’ve seen all variations of me thus far. I shall leave you now with our latest beach vacation photo. So relaxing. Can’t you feel the breeze in your hair? Hear the waves lapping the shore? I can.
Did I say something about writing a book? Shiiiiiit.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Too many words! First I was like “wha?” and then I was like “huh?” and then I…got bored.
Just kidding! Have you seen Bolt? That’s one of my favourite lines from that film…but I digress…thankfully, given all my film references these days are from animated movies.
I have to admit, I felt like an old fuddy duddy reading this. I used to love gaming (a long, long time ago, when dinos roamed…). I still do but nothing as elaborate as this stuff. And, to think you’re online gaming with your son? I mean, how cool a mom are you? Wide hips or not! (and, BTW, they are *so* not wide…)
Anyway, I surprisingly did not get bored reading that (because it was about gaming) but rather found it quite interesting! Again, I did feel old and out of touch…but it made me feel cool to know I’m a bloggy buddy of such a funky, stylin’, woodchoppin’ momma.

You know, CynthiaK, I have to give you props for being the only person brave enough to leave a comment on my Runescape crack habit post. I’m only funky in the sense that I usually give off a funky odor. But, thank you, nonetheless.
I originally read your comment just as Snow Patrol was taking the stage last Saturday at a Coldplay show. One of the first posts I read of yours (if not THE first post) was titled after a Snow Patrol song, Chasing Cars. Freaky. Let’s take a photo of a goat in a boat.

That is freaky stuff. The Snow Patrol connection, that is.
And…so jealous! Coldplay! Sigh…

Lol, yeah, Runescape can be as addictive as World of Warcraft. I remember my friend and I actually got hooked on it for a couple of weeks.
