Barker’s Barkings.

Things in my life are finally going where I think I’d like to see them going. So where have I been?…

Busy.

I’ve been working on the ordeal to set myself up stably for the years when my parents aren’t around with my difficulty getting (and keeping) jobs. That recently went through though in order to have that do anything at all, it means that I have to drain all of my bank account funds and all of my Individual Retirement Fund. I’m in essence going poor to set myself up to be fiscally ready for the rest of my life. I know I won’t have much money but I’ll have the things that make me happy and that’s what’s important… at least, I think it is.

I’ve also had my nose jammed in a few books as of lately. What have I been reading? Mostly this series:

But Kurt grabbed me a few other books to read and I also grabbed a few more. I read Twilight within a day of owning it, and I’ve got to admit that if you haven’t read it because you think it’s for young adults.. give it a try. It’s a bit sappy in some parts as the main character is young, but it’s actually extremely well written. I’m on the second book right now, little over twenty-five percent done with it. I usually tend to read when I’m bored in World of Warcraft (which I’m still playing) or I’m laying down reading. To the most extreme cases, I usually read when I’m walking and I usually walk a mile to three miles every morning. Some of my friends seem to think it’s dangerous that I read while I walk. I don’t understand why. Oh well.

As far as World of Warcraft goes.. things are picking up again finally. As of this journal my character that was started as an alt, is now my main. I can’t see myself straying much farther from a Paladin. My collectors edition version of Lich King may make me make a Death Knight alt or a Rogue, but my main character now is now a Paladin instead of a hunter. Why? Well, strangely enough it suits my play style. I love the jack of all trades kind of character. You need Tanks? We got tanks. You need heals? We got heals. You need cures (for poisons?) .. We’ve got em. You need DPS? We can do that.. sort of. The only thing we can’t do is stealth.. but by the time a rogue is sneaking up on something we’ve got the thing held in its spot and it’s not going anywhere. The other nice thing is that I’m now in the thick of combat instead of the PEW PEW in the background that was my hunter, which I really, really enjoy.

I can’t say much else is going on in my life though..

I’ll try to keep everyone updated.
