So right now, at level 33, Skyta can either start questing in Desolace and help the Night Elves... OR she can move over to the South Barrens and aid the Humans.
I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.
Since it originally sent me over to Desolace, I'll start there, but I guarantee you, I will be back and quest through the South Barrens, because I feel bad just leaving them there.
WHY BLIZZARD!? WHY!? You should know by now I'm very indecisive.

Into Silvermoon City
Hey! So I've been playing WoW a lot lately, and I created a new Blood Elf Paladin (I had one before, and she was epic), as well as a new Pandarian Hunter (one of those too). So... Meet Aroliana and Everstyeria!
It's totally awesome and all, the only problem I'm having trouble wrapping my head around is that when I enter the game with Skyta I'm on the version for Wrath of the Lich King, but then I enter with Aroliana and I'm on the version of The Burning Crusade (which makes sense since she's a BE). And then, of course, when I enter with Everstyeria, I get Mists of Pandaria.
???
Anyhoo, Skyta's level 31!! Having tons of fun beating up orcs and goblins :p I'm ready to move on to a new plot other than the Night Elves battling the orcs for the purity of their land. At least the Humans have finally made an appearance :) New stuff! Yay!
As you can see, I'm completely neglecting Katryel, but oh well. I don't want to re-level a Human Warlock (Darkdance was my highest leveled character thus far (a Human Warlock) - made it to level 36 before Blizzard closed my account for no reason >_<). So don't be surprised if I suddenly delete Katryel - I won't feel bad.
Ahaha, I feel so heartless.
Anyway, a while ago I had a great idea of a WoW fanfic, but it hasn't really taken form yet thanks to my lack of WoW knowledge/experience. Plus, it deals with concepts and names that I don't even know are plausible or not.
Here's what I have so far (not much I know), tell me what you think (I basically create a bit of my own history for each of the races - that's what I mean when I say I don't know if it's plausible):
----------------------------------------
----------------------------------------
And that's all I got...
Yea? Nay?
Likely nay.

----------------------------------------
Chapter One
They named her Emberdance. No one really knew why - maybe it was because of her fiery red hair, or perhaps her obsession with flames, or could it have been her strong passion? Everyone was unsure as to the origin of her name, yet at the same time, somehow, it landed her a reputation she had not earned that led to a difficult childhood - but in the end that was what led to her uprising.
As a young Blood Elf child, Ember, as she was nicknamed, showed great skill with the bow and arrow. With the events of the Cataclysm and the rise of her impoverished people, she often ventured into the Eversong Woods at night, against the laws set by Lor’themar Theron, current ruler of the Quel’Thalas lands, to hunt for food she then gave to her starving kin.
Eventually she snuck into the army protecting the Ghostlands, changing her name to Feseron, keeping the Alliance forces at bay, away from their precious Silvermoon City. She was valiant, and many looked up to her as she lead the way to victory in many battles. This continued for a while, until it was discovered she was female, whereupon, to the great dismay of all of Quel’Thalas, she was sentenced to death...
Kaiamai looked up from the book, brushing a strand of her own red hair from her eyes. She looked up at her mother, cooking a pot of steaming rice nearby. “Is that true mama?” she asked.
Her mother looked down at her and smiled, her brown eyes shining with kind amusement, the way one looked a child asking a silly question. “Well I wouldn’t give it to you if it wasn’t.”
Kaiamai smiled. “Someday, I want to visit her grave.”
Her mother knocked the spoon on the rim of the pot to rid it of sticking rice. “Maybe someday.”
Kaiamai was not like the others of the Wandering Isle. She had no fur, she was not big and round, she did not have natural resistance to the native spirit-mushrooms. Her fingers were long and pale, her legs and waist slender, her skin pale and smooth and hairless, even her eyes were a bright violet compared to the round, brown eyes of the rest of them. No, she knew she was different as soon as she first looked in the mirror as a mere three year old child. At first the others had tried to hide it from her, but it was too, painstakingly obvious.
She was obviously not a Pandaren.
Finally, her adoptive mother, Chiyo, told her who she really was.
“You, dearest Kaiamai, are a Blood Elf.”
From then on, Kaiamai no longer had to train like those of the Pandaren children. Now she was taught how to use skills particular to her race, skills that other Pandaren could not do.
The one thing, however, that Kaiamai shared with the other Pandaren’s was her love of literature and writing, though she never shared this with many. Usually she burned her writings in the weekly Scorch Festival - the day when the Pandaren would burn the scrolls graffitied by the drunken monkeys near Morning Breeze Lake. This way, only she, Chiyo, and Master Shang Xi ever knew of the writings.
Little did Kaiamai know that a deep, terrible secret was being kept from her. The Blood Elves, since the contamination of their precious Sunwell, the source of their magic and lives, were falling into a chaotic spirit, branded by the name The Wretched. Unlike the rest of her kin, Kaiamai did not show the signs of a chaotic spirit by the fact that her eyes did not glow an eerie green - they were eyes like a humans, she had whites, irises, pupils, and they were a stunning violet to boot.
The greatest wish of Master Sheng Xi was that Kaiamai would not fall for the same mistakes her brethren did, and still were doing.
Chapter Two
Feseron Theron groaned for the millionth time as a fresh stack of parchments was thumped down on the golden hued desk he sat at. He leaned back, tucking bright, blonde hair behind his elongated ear rimmed with silver earrings, glaring at the top page titled Trouble at the West Sanctom.
“From your father, sir,” said the attendant, a youngling Blood Elf barely a hundred years.
“Yes, thank you,” replied Feseron, though he really wanted to snap. Once the boy had left he did. Snatching the top paper and scanning it over, he exclaimed, “Damned Dwarves!” Some Dwarf ambassador was acting as a spy and needed to be stopped. Maybe he could do it...?
He shook the thought away. No, his father would insist he send a military trainee to take care of it from Falconwing Square, someone already on that side of the Dead Scar. Everyone avoided that trench filled with rotting undead.
----------------------------------------
And that's all I got...
Yea? Nay?
Likely nay.

Out of Ashenvale
Recently, I was able to renew my WoW membership - so for most of next month I'll be questing with Skyta (my Worgen Rogue). She's level 28 now (leveled twice last night), and just got to the Stonetalen Mountains where the Goblins are fighting the Gnomes - it's hilarious to watch.
Anyway, orcs killed her four times - it's pretty depressing. Maybe I'll get some screen shots up later. This is just an update! :)

Cutest Anime Couples
(Note, this is all my own opinion, so don't judge.)
I'm going to do a total of ten and find random pictures of them from google; so yeah, I don't own the images, the books and characters, etc...
So... onward!!
10) Gil x Oz (Pandora Hearts)
Ok, I don't usually ship two guys, but you have to admit that Gil and Oz have a relationship that's very hard achieve. Even if it's not really a "I love you" kind of one, it was very sweet to see Gil (SPOILER!) cut off his arm to save Oz.
9) Yachiru x Kenpachi (Bleach)
Again, less of a ship and more of a "they're so adorable!" thing. But I mean really... The relationship, again, is the one you love to see: when the big guy has a heart and the little one is the comic relief.
8) Naruto x Hinata (Naruto)
Though it took me a while to find an image, I think this one works. I haven't watched or read Naruto in a while, and when I started I was shipping him with Sakura, but in the end I think Hinata is just the better one for him.
7) Ichigo x Orihime (Bleach)
Though I know some of you may ship him with Rukia, I honestly can't see it - the relationship just isn't the same. Rukia and Ichigo are like Gil and Oz. I'm hoping and hoping that Ichigo ends up with Orihime.
6) Cloud x Tifa (Final Fantasy)
Shhh, I know they don't end up together, but that's why it's called a ship!! That scene if from the FF movie, Advent Children, and was not as nearly as sweet as it should've been. Oh well. Though I know Cloud was with Aerith, it seems that he's shipped with Tifa more.
5) Nami x Zoro (One Piece)
Ignoring Fanky over there, I think Nami and Zoro would be great together. However, I don't see any couples actully coming together in this anime, because that's not what it's about. However, nonetheless, I ship these two.
4) Xerxes x Sharon (Pandora Hearts)
Ok, Break is my favorite anime character of all time. If he doesn't end up with Sharon or if either of them die, tears are going to be shed and computers are going to break and people are going die. Make sense much??
3) Erza x Jellal (Fairy Tail)
So I know one of my friends is not going to like this, but I think it works. Erza, being her awesome self, deserves someone that sacrifices his life for her (not metaphorically that is - literally). Yeah, Jellal is pretty evil, and he tries to change, and he does, but some haven't forgiven him for that. I think he needed the forgiveness Erza gave him, even if he didn't realize it.
2) Alice x Oz (Pandora Hearts)
Ok, this one makes me sad. Through the entire series, Alice is constantly hitting on Oz. I mean, she kisses him when she meets him, admits to liking to dance with him, saves his life above all others, bites his cheeks, and they were in love in a past life. OZ YOU IDIOT!! *sob sob*
1) Lucy x Natsu (Fairy Tail)
Ok, this is definitely my biggest ship. It's so blatantly obvious they like each other, and everyone else sees it, but they just pretend the other doesn't know (which they don't). Not to mention they're adorable, they're the perfect fighting team, and they constantly make fun of each other (comic relief).
And these are some funny images I found while trying to find the couple images.

This dude is epic beyond belief.
I think next I'll do just the 10 best anime characters (in my mind). I don't even think I have ten, so I'll use some that I've heard of from other people. Suggestions? I think you already know who #1 is going to be XD

A Grand Adventure In My Mind
So, as you may or may not remember, I purchased every album of LOTR and The Hobbit. Recently I was in a seven hour car trip there and back, and I took the time to crank out ten or so pages on Irunda (read here if you dare...) and listen straight through each album, starting with The Fellowship of the Ring. By doing so, it was like re-watching the movies because I was able to coordinate each song to its scene in the movie (yeah, I've seen them too many times, lol). It made me want to watch the movies again, but then I came up with a better idea:
REREAD THE BOOKS.
So, when school starts (:p) I'm going to take my massive, fat, heavy copy of all three(*six) LOTR books (seriously, it's huge, over 1,000 pages with tiny font) and read it on the bus. Until then, I have to read A Cast of Stones (which is quite good), as well as start on The Hobbit so I can prepare myself for The Hobbit Part 2: The Desolation of Smaug (SO EXCITED!!)
I mean, after buying the music I've reminded myself just how much I love the books and the story and characters just EVERYTHING. Anyone else ever get the feeling??

But judging by all of them I think we're all screwed. Though maybe not for Natsu and Ichigo, cause I know they have good hearts and won't kill you (depending on why they hate you, but even then...)

The Query Letter
Ok, you all know I write. A lot. All the time. I've gotten a lot of different reviews on my writing, I write a lot of different types of fiction, and I've been writing a long time.
You all know I finished my novel back in December 2012, and it's been undergoing unprofessional editing since (ok, maybe you didn't know that, but now you do).
Basically, right now, I've started writing a query letter.
"What?"
Yeah, that's what I thought when I first heard it. A query letter is the letter you send agencies to see if they want to read, and then professionally edit, and finally publish your work.
Holy
Storm
Lord
"Are you serious, Emma?"
Yeah.
I am.
I'm going to get published.
Believe me, not any time soon, but I'm one step closer :D (If only this letter wasn't so freaking difficult... you have no idea until you research "how to write a query letter" cause believe me there are some strict rules...).
