The Coming Tide

Captain's Log, Stardate 65123: In two days I will be moving back to college. This means, you guessed it, less frequent entries. Hey, Earthly education is unfortunately more important than the diploma-less education we're given at Ravenwood. When Wysteria hits, I'll still be logging in for that stuff. I need that Triwizard Spiral Cup Trophy for my trophy case (still undecided on how to construct it).  I'm also still gardening in hopes for Orthrus cards. I can't just abandon my Silver Trumpet Vines (as much as I might like to...)!

That's all I've got for today, except that this blog is now featured on the approved link list on Wizard101Central, though I still can't link it in my signature. Oh well.

Your Friend Always,

Times are Strange

Greetings, Wizards of the Spiral! 

I know it's been slightly over 1 week since my last post...and I apologize.  Things here are getting hectic as I get ready to embark on the journey through college.  Packing, unpacking to make mom happy and show her I have everything she requested, then repacking >.<.  It's different, but not in a bad way.  So for this post I really want to say that I'm not sure how much longer my blog will stay "active", and it's due to the strangeness around me and this new adventure. 

No, I'm not leaving...intentionally.  I will try my darndest to make time for all of you in game and in the blogosphere, and I won't be quitting Twitter, my posts will just become more sporadic.  Maybe college will be good for my blogging as a way to decompress after the day, we'll just have to cross that bridge when we come to it. 

Now for something I haven't done before.  Answering questions.  This is my way to help pick up my blogging slack.  Maybe with a little outside motivation waiting in my e-mail inbox I will post more :)  My first question was in comment form from Miss Rachel Windtalon.  Here it is:

Where did you get your robes in your At Play picture.

That one's easy enough-Youkai in the Tree of Life drops them :)  The hat is also a drop by Youkai for those of you wondering.  As for the shoes, try Death Oni...though I hear he doesn't drop them lightly and I got them by chance!

One other thing!  While I am not ITS (In The Spiral) as often as I once was, I'm still lurking.  I have been playing another game to relieve some farming boredom and I have been playing on my fire girl alt: Maria.  Last names of alts will not be published until I am ready for everyone to meet them ;).

Your [Freshman Again...>.<] Friend Always,

Questions and Play Time

Hello wizards of the Spiral!  Welcome to another exciting edition of Through the Eyes of a Sorcerer.  In this segment we will discuss the welcome back party for Autumn, as well as my play time plans for the coming weeks.

I had to attend a 40th anniversary party for my great aunt and uncle.  There was cake, and dancing, and it was a good time overall.  Welcome back HIAG, and sorry I missed your party!

In the coming weeks my Saturday evenings are also occupied.  It's wedding season in my hometown and the local youth group often sells soda at the wedding dances.  I have a dance I'm supposed to work next Saturday and the Saturday after, so things here are a little bit busy.  The Saturday AFTER that, while I should be working a dance I will be getting things ready for college this fall, I'll be going through "enrollment procedures" Saturday-Monday. 

I apologize for these absences, and there are more to come.  Oh the life of a soon-to-be college freshman! >.<

In other news, my aunt is taking me to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter sometime after the 4th of July as a High School Graduation present, so for about a week after the 4th I'll be in sunny Orlando and away from my computer...then again I might opt to take my laptop with me to play in the wee hours of night rather than sleep! Who knows, maybe I'll do that so I can keep up with the community.

Ah well, I have to go watch some HP movies with my aunt to catch her up before we go lol.

Have fun in the Spiral.

Your Friend Always,
John Lifeglen
