I wish I had bought

Tabard of the Lightbringer for 1,000g at the end of wrath of the lich king. I got everything else, the crimson deathcharger, jainas locket and sylvnas music box, but I refused to buy the ugly dwarf item or the tabard. Now, you can’t get them for love or money. The only way is to do […]

I give up. NSFW White Ribbon

I’ve been trying to keep my personal life out of the wow gold blog. Readers want tips for making gold, not my blubbing and whining. Since being in hospital, I’ve been writing all my posts with pencil on paper, then laboriously tapping them in to wordpress on my smartphone. I didn’t want to let you […]

I’ve been trying to keep my personal life out of the wow gold blog. Readers want tips for making gold, not my blubbing and whining.

Since being in hospital, I’ve been writing all my posts with pencil on paper, then laboriously tapping them in to wordpress on my smartphone. I didn’t want to let you down. Also, it gives me something to focus on other than recent events. Do you know how hard it is to research a post/article without real internet, without WoW?

But the truth is, I’m royally fucked up in the head right now. I still have some physical checks to go though. The good news is I’m healed without need for surgery. The bad news is I still need tests for nasties like HIV. Even though the animals held me for an hour, its my head that’s broken. I’m actually on suicide watch in hospital after 3 serious fails. This is the part of me that they literally tore apart. Some part of me died between 2nd and 3rd rape.

I’ve missed being involved in the community, I even missed the start of the Gold Speed Run I was so proud to help edit during October. I was looking forward to launching it.

It seems like the community has missed me too, despite my mediocre blog post attempts! So which of you is responsible for organising today’s utterly overwhelming white ribbon campaign? I recognised a white ribbon immediately – I donate to women’s charities. My nurse actually offered me Sedation (drugs? Yes please!) When I started weeping as the blogroll filled with white ribbon bandages. I am overwhelmed. My broken little head can’t take it in.

So I give in.
No more struggles to pretend I’m ok. I relax into the support you show. It’s ok not to be tough. I’m not ashamed to be broken and f_cked up.

If you are part of White Ribbon today, please post your link below. I want my readers to be staggered and overwhelmed like me at how strong this matrix of wow gold bloggers is.

I really hope the community is proud of itself. I love seeing you pull together.
