Maybe it’s a holiday. Maybe it’s a virtual holiday. Maybe it’s just a Wednesday.

Reality is quite objective, so who’s to say, really?

After nearly a week out of town, I have lost all sense of the passage of time and space. But no one else has written the Queue today, so I guess it must be my turn. That’s how these things work, right? Hopefully that’s how these things work.

And if not, that’s how I’m going to make them work. Let’s do this.

In yesterday’s Queue I asked for questions early in the day so I could write the Queue early and get to bed, because by the time you read this I will be on an airplane to New York to spend time with family. And you gave me some excellent Gnome-themed questions — with my sincere apologies to the ones I have not bothered to answer —which were very helpful.

And yet somehow I’m still writing the Queue after midnight and my alarm is going off at 5am.

So, not that I want to rush this or anything, but let’s get to the questions.

I don’t necessarily mind doing LFR. I’m a healer, so I get quick queues and I’m not likely to be vote-kicked for lulz. But LFR isn’t always fun. Some encounters are too challenging for a disorganized group. Sometimes you wind up getting grouped with jerks that you don’t even want to spend virtual space with. Sometimes you wipe dozens of times surrounded by people you hate and you really start to question your life choices.

Which is a roundabout way of saying that I don’t LFR when I don’t have a reason to, and at present I outgear it. That would usually mean I can ignore it, but I went in to investigate for you. So I hope you appreciate my sacrifice.
