Only seen a coyote around here, and I think we spooked it. Whenever I want to escape I just take my Ipod for the long walk to the woods, turn off everything and just hike. It's fun.
I know the type of raiding guild you're in ...we have several of them on alleria. If I were you I'd leave that guild and join a more casual one. I'm in a casual raiding guild and we have a great time.
I play WOW a lot right now ...not because I'm severely addicted (I almost quit when blizzard people changed my fucking character's name until I had some guildies send me e-mails asking me to come back) but because I like the people in my guild and I don't have shit to do.
If WOW is really that much of a problem for you I might even quit it altogether. As far as your ex ...man, it sounds like it's about time to move on. There are plenty of decent chicks out there.
I was in a casual raiding guild, 3 nights a week 3-4 hours a night, which wouldn't be bad if I didn't have a girlfriend or a full time job or other shit to do. But neither would a hardcore raiding guild.
I can't handle raiding with my schedule, just doesn't work.
