Busy With World of Warcraft

     As I mentioned in my last post,  My Morning Friend, it's been a while since I have actually played World of Warcraft. I just got tired of it, and all the friends I played with stopped playing, so that just left me to farm items all the time. I don't enjoy meeting new people in the game, meaning I wont just do things like play versus player with a random person.

     I had also mentioned in my post Blogoholic what I had recently been doing in World of Warcraft. Basically I've been going around finding new gold making methods, which I haven't really spent a decent amount of time in any given location. More so just testing to see if loot is valuable, is so than how fast do the mobs spawn and so on.

     I only have enough screenshots for a little over sixty posts, which is good. If I ever get around to typing them up then I should be able to set the posts up to publish automatically. I'm hoping all is well for that so I can practically manage two blogs at once. Typically Once I start a new blog the others are just left to rot, and I will only update them every so often. I'm thinking of doing a post a day, mainly because I'm thinking of trying that with this blog as well.

     I'm getting enough ideas for posts that I should be able to just set down one day and type up a few weeks worth of posts, however, I'm sure there will be posts I delay to type one out for that day. I can't predict what the future holds for me. I'm sure there will be events happening along the way I would rather post than what was planned for that day.

     Anyways I enjoy making guides for World of Warcraft so much that I will probably be spending most of my day on the silly game. Not only are they guides, but they are guides no one else has covered, which is really nice. For me to find that many locations in the game as fast as I did, it's pretty inspiring for me nonetheless.

     The main reason I wanted to go over this post was because I look at things differently than other people, that is how I was able to find that many locations as fast as I did. I believe it has something to do with my anxiety of course. I can take a single item that can be crafted into several different things, and I will take my time, with a lot of patients and see is there is any profit to be had.

     Aside from being caught up in my game, I also got my cards all sorted, it took me a while, but I finally got them done, well... mostly anyways. They still need to bet put in binders, but that shouldn't take to long. I expect to have my Pokemon card collection post out tomorrow hopefully. As the second part to my senior year, I'm unsure at the moment. The thought of having a post over the same thing every week on the same day seems like a cool idea to me, and the only topic I can think of to do something like that is a weekly update.

     The bird from My Morning Friend ended up returning again this morning. It kept trying to get in my window since eight in the morning to I'd say around five this afternoon. I set my camera up to record it, though it seems to be a bit camera shy. Hopefully I got a small clip of the bird running into my window, but I haven't looked to see yet.

My Morning Friend

     I wont have time to type part two of "My Senior Year" due to internet problems. I am currently unable to use my old internet browser so I am using another one that I don't like as much to type this post. I'm also getting around to typing my post for today so that doesn't really help. It took me nearly an hour possibly longer to type last nights post and I just don't have the time right now.

     Anyways this morning started off a bit strange for me. I woke up around ten only to try and fall back to sleep because I was oddly tired. I felt a bit faint to be honest, which is weird because I'm not on my medicine anymore, yet that's what it felt like. As I was trying to rest a bit more I heard a thud followed but what sounded like flapping wings. At first I didn't really think much of it, I was tired so all I really wanted to do was rest a bit longer.

     Several minutes pass before I heard it yet again, it happened a couple more times within five minutes. I figured it was my wakeup call at the point. I got up only to hear it again. A little aggravated at this point, I look out my window to see what it was. I had figured it was a bird and wouldn't you know it, it was a bird. I had seen it actually hit the window. What made matters even worse was the bird wasn't just flying into the window, it acted like it wanted in, or maybe it was trying to land on the frame that was inside.

     At this point I was thinking I may have scared it off, or got it to calm down, as I had seen it setting in the tree outside my window. I go on throughout my morning like I do every other morning and check to see what my blogs are up to, and check other notifications for a various amount of social media websites. A good fifteen twenty minutes pass, and I hear the bird again...

     Noises typically irritate me, it's of course a part of my anxiety. I'm trying my hardest and trying to think of everything I can do to prevent the bird from trying what ever it was it was trying. It was a very puzzling experience after all. Finally I decide to close my curtains, because more than likely it just say a reflection in the window, or maybe just didn't even seen the window.

     Being a nice and sunny morning I couldn't do without my morning sunlight, so I open the curtains to the window on the adjacent side my room. Again the bird decided to perch on the tree outside the window it was abusing, and a while later, it goes to the other window that is now open. It only tried whatever once then, this is actually kind of hysterical, it went back to the window with the closed curtains and kept trying to, I'm just going to assume at this point, get in through the window.

     From ten clear up until two-thirty, the time I had to leave for work, the bird kept trying to get in through the window. I doubt it saw anything it wanted because the curtains were closed most of the time. Maybe it was just trying to pester, in which case it did. I had even gotten up a few time to try and scare it off. Nope this little bugger would just stare at me. From time to time a would make a few fast movements to see if maybe I was just being to settle, but nope.

     That was the first time anything like that had happened to me, I've never heard of a bird doing something like that before. Anyways, I hope everyone else's mornings were just as eventful if not at least good. I may or may not be posting again later tonight, this wasn't the post I had in mind to write. I was actually going talk about why I've been busy on World of Warcraft. It's been a while since I have played the game, and a few weeks ago I currently got into it again, but not for it's trademark activities.

Future Posts

     I didn't quiet get the whole day to think of other posts I might want to include in the future, I may have been a bit preoccupied with my game. Unlocked something just last night and wanted the day to gather materials to make a good amount of gold. That wasn't the only thing I'v done today though, I also went through my cards some more. I have most of the sets all singled out, but left the big stacks for later as I know they will take a while to completely sort.
 
     I know I didn't get to all my posts I said I would get to in my last article of future posts, but I'v been thinking I might try to do a post like this once a week, just to have a day to relax while I'm still releasing content. I could also, once I get enough stories and ideas to write about, I should be able to go ahead and type up many of the stories and set the blog to publish my drafts, I may or may not use that option, though it may come in handy from time to time.

     The posts I don't get to in the previous week I will add to the list of posts I plan on doing. There will probably be several repeat titles, but as there are only seven days in a week, and I'm only posting once a day. I can only cover a few of the stories, at least until my list stay small. If I end up getting enough content built up for a month or two I may up the posting to two posts a day, unsure of that though. Anyways here are posts to look forward to within not only the near but far future!

Things That Help: What helps me control my anxiety

Collection: I have more than just a card collection, so I figured I would just talk about collections in general

My Card Collection, Not only my Pokemon cards but other cards I have collected over the years. Some I know what they are, some I have no clue, they were just cheap so why not.

My Senior Year (five parts): What all I dealt with my senior year

Busy With WoW (World of Warcraft): I recently got back into playing the popular MMO, and I done a few cool things

Spring Fever!: Can't wait for the warmer weather -.-

Summer Plans (May be a few parts): I have many things planned for this summer. Rather or not I will do any of them, the mystery remains.

Trip to Pennsylvania: I will be heading to Pennsylvania here in a little under 2 weeks, why not blog about it?

Childish: Just a bit of a rant between "maturity" and "immaturity".

     Posts I got done from last weeks list:

Hands Up

Backpacking

My Other Blogs

Again With the Snow

     As much as people think I like snow, I really don't. I'm the type of person after it accumulates once I'm ready for the 70 plus degree weather. Sunny day or not I don't really care. I just like the warm weather, and a lot of that has to do with my claustrophobia. During the winter I typically stay in more, and I don't very much like it, not one bit.

     I was looking at the weather the other day though and it appears the warmth is creeping it's way back. As windy as it has been though, I'm also not a big fan of wind. A lot of that has to do with just about everything I enjoy doing outside requires little to no wind. Some things can still be done while it's windy though not as enjoyable, like fishing on a boat. It's not fun finding a school of fish than a second later your boat is on the other side of the lake, especially if you a fishing a small tournament.

    I do however like telling people who I know hate the snow when there is snow in the forecast. Their reactions are funny, and it's also fun to tease. Watch though half way through summer and there will be people who are ready for winter because it's to hot. Something that I found interesting, my dad was over in Malaysia during their cold season. Well their cold season was just beginning anyways. It was roughly 80 degrees out while the people there were starting to wear coats. I'm not sure if the coats were winter wear as my dad stated or not, but I wasn't there.

     One thing to look forward to after winter this year, it's only a thought as of now, but this year is believed to be a long time coming, one of the best years for moral mushrooms. I know it's a bit of a lost art nowadays, but I am one that enjoys going out and looking for the stealth fungus. Even if I don't eat them, it is still fun. I like the outdoors and if I lived in an area where there were more orchards, vineyards, and berry patches, I would probably spend my whole day outside.

     I will probably be covering my Pokemon collection tomorrow, as it has been one of the biggest things that has helped me. I will be doing a post over how collection in general helps with anxiety, or at least how it helps mine. I spent most of my day today looking for more farming places on World of Warcraft, and sorting out my Pokemon cards once again. I was scheduled to work, but I'm guessing with the weather people didn't want to get out, so we were pretty dead today. I have the whole day off tomorrow as of right now, and I plan on hopefully getting the rest of my cards sorted... I have over seven thousand cards, probably a bit close to eight thousand now. It's a collection started from my childhood.

Blogoholic!

     Not only am I workoholic but it turns out I'm a bit of a blogholoic too. I guess I just love keeping myself. If I'm not working I normally either think of new blogs I can make, or I try to find content for the blogs I already have. Some blogs it's harder to find interesting post worthy content others not so much. I currently got done with gathering screen shots for one of my guide blogs. Turns out I have enough screenshots to cover well over 60 posts, which is nice and all I just need to find the time to add wording in with the pictures than I'm good to go.

     I currently have 10 blogs only 6 of which I manage, and that still isn't enough! There is so much more I would love to blog about and with as organized of a person as I am, a few blogs simply wont do. Plus it is always nice to keep different groups separate. I don't want a Terraria fan based community interfering with my World of Warcraft fan based community, it allows other people to feel a bit more comfortable and welcomed.

     Anyways not only do I have 10 blogs to my name, I also have few ideas for other blogs... just a few -.-. I have written down because only God would remember them if I don't write them down. I have thought about doing a movie review channel. I'm not sure if I will be doing one or not because the only thing I really ever watch is Family Guy, every now and then American Dad or Futurama. My idea behind the blog was I can't seem to watch a movie all the way through without criticizing it at some point. I would have gone over the parts that I enjoyed and gave input in what I thought would have made parts I didn't like better. A writing exercise for me nonetheless.

     A steam game review once crossed my mind as I don't really like playing games because they are games, I am fairly picky with what I choose to stare at, I like a lot of creativity in the games I play. A good story more than anything. There are a decent amount of games within the steam library that are under five dollars and I figured "Why not review these games to help others find games they may enjoy" Rather or not it will happen I'm not sure. To be honest I'm not much of a gamer.

     This one I'm still pondering over. It is something I would really like to do and my brother has opt to help me with some of the content, though it isn't something I would like to just through together and call it good. I'm very much so into EDM, electronic dance music, I found a demo version of the studio many of the well known DJ's and artists use. Though limited to a various amount of sounds, it is still enough I should be able to come up with my own music which would be cool to be known as DJ Opachii, but that is only a dream as of today.

     Now I have mentioned before that I own a nature photography blog, Opachii's Photography. Though one thing that crossed my mind one day while seeing an adult coloring book on my grandmothers table. Why not turn some of my photo's into coloring pages? This is something I do plan on doing though I have only found one way of turning my photo's into coloring pages and I'm not to fond of the way they turn out. I may draw them and try to get a bit more of a cartoon style, but as of now I just need to find a better way to transform them.

     Okay so I think a bit to much sometimes... all the time perhaps. Since I haven't been writing, why let my ideas go to waste? I would definitally have to be careful about this and not give to much detail, but I would simply turn some of the ideas I'v jotted down into prompts. I don't really have enough written down, key word written. I can be a bit forgetful sometimes, but I don't have enough content to start a blog at the moment though it would really take a day of brain storming and I could have a few hundred prompts.

     This will be one I would do in the future more so when my blogs become a bit more popular due to the fact it would be nothing to the people I help if they aren't getting any views off it. A promotion blog is something I feel a bit compelled to do. Mostly because I know how hard promoting can be. It would be a few promotion site of course, and I'm undecided how I want to find my content for this blog. I could just do it to be nice and help a small youtube channel, or I could take application type things and promote one person a week. Either way I feel it would be fun to do something like this.

     If you struggle with synonyms as much as I do than this might just be a blog you would want to check out. I have a pretty small vocabulary, probably because I don't enjoy reading... a writer who doesn't read, how odd. I have been gathering synonyms I use in my stories to create a word of the day blog. I often find myself with an open tab saying "synonym for" just in case I feel like I should spice up the sentence structure. I normally do it for my blogs too, but this one I feel like I should try to work on it on my own instead of using the interwebz.

     These will end up being separate blogs because of course both communities don't get along all the time, but I plan on doing a card opening blog for not only Pokemon (Yes I still collect Pokemon cards) and Magic to Gathering. Often you will find videos over people opening card pack, how this is entertaining? *Shrug*. I was recently looking up to see if any one else has a blog over such a thing and I didn't find any. I thought that since I don't like talking taking pictures would be a good way to go about doing this.

     As you are aware I'm doing a bit better today, hence the tasteful humor. I'm sure there will be many other blogs I dream to start, I know there was one that I guess I didn't write down. :O I remembered something... I enjoy baking oddly enough so I thought about blogging recipes I make. I would take a picture of the finished product and probably rate how easy or hard it was to make for people just starting off. Hopefully everyone had as wonderful of a day as I did!

My Other Blogs

     Aside from this blog and Lorekeepers Inn, the blog a had mentioned in One Of My Other Blogs post. I almost manage another good some of blogs. I really enjoy blogging and with the OCD I have I need to have separate blogs for different topics. I know I could probably get away with only having one blog and use pages on it, but I still need to sort out different subtopics among the main topic of the blog.

Here are the other blogs I manage!

Opachii's World of Warcraft Gold Guides: This blog I created to help people in the massive multiplayer online game World of Warcraft (who would have guessed) make gold. I don't have a whole lot of content on this blog yet, but I just spent the last few days finding spots other people haven't covered. So far I have about 50+ drafts of spots surprisingly no one else has covered. Most of them make a good sum of gold as well so I can't wait to get those posts out!

Opachii's Terraria Help: This is yet another guide blog, have I mentioned how much I love helping people? As of right now, I have 104 posts but I'm taking a bit of a break from this blog I suppose. I started this blog about a month and a half ago, so I'm pretty burned out on it. Terraira is a pretty popular indy game yet many still struggle with some easy tasks. At least I find the game easy, after all I have a good amount of hours put into that game.

Opachii's Photography: This blog I created because I enjoy taking pictures, I don't like so much of being in them but I'm okay with taking them. All the photographs in this blog deal with nature, so if you enjoy roses, and pretty sunsets, this blog may be just for you! I currently have 514 photos and plan to take several more this year come the warmer seasons.

The Arcane Gamers: This is a shared blog between my brother and I. We decided to record some of our gameplay and post it on youtube, which what was posted to youtube is also in this blog.

Here in a few days I plan on doing a post on blogs I may end up doing in the future. I really enjoy blogging, or well maybe it has something to do with seeing the numbers go up... that can't be it. I really do enjoy sharing with the world and I also plan on doing a post over collections, I also like seeing numbers go up -.-.

Why the Pseudonym "Opachii"?

     Many of my blogs have my pseudonym "Opachii", rather it's a title or the name of a character in one my of stories, Opachii will show up somewhere in my several blogs. Opachii is a name that just stuck with me and it all came from an anime.
   
     I play a good amount of online games "World of Warcraft" being one. Most online games allow you to choose a character name of your liking, there is also an option to pick a name at random, which is something I use to do, I didn't see myself creative enough at the time to come up with names on my own, that or I was just to anxious to start a new journey, and the name was a bit meaningless to me at the time.
   
     Once I started watching anime though, that all changed, I wanted to be a character from my favorite anime series. Some may consider it roll playing, but I just simply want a name corresponding to a protagonist of the anime I was currently into.

     Why I kept "Opachii" of them all? It was a unique name. Most of the time while trying to use all sorts of letters to come up with a name similar to the one I want it to resemble, the name would already have been taken. That wasn't the case with this name, for and online games, or games I was able to choose a name for that matter.

    Opachii soon became a name I rather enjoyed. After a while it lost it's anime resemblance, because many would pronounce the name wrong. It wasn't their fault though, I knew what I wanted it to sound like not what it actually sounded like. Listening to people pronounce it "wrong" I just started going with it, I liked it, and now I use it as an online alias.
