hello, new friends! ♥

Name: Sonya
Age: 33
Location: Maine, U.S.A.

Introduction: Hello, friends! I created this account originally when I thought LiveJournal may go dark due to the war, but I couldn't get into it. I tried a second time a few months ago, and again, it just didn't feel right. I suppose it correlates with my inability to stomach change well. However, I'm here and ready to stay! Please, if you tried to add me previously and felt I just immediately ghosted, feel free to add me again. I promise I'm going to give this a honest try. I even paid for this account. I'm not as flakey as I sound, I just... Change is hard for me.

That all being said, if you have any tips and tricks to help with the transition, please let me know. I'm still figuring out the difference between subscribe and access lists. I also want to customize my layout to more accurately reflect me and who I am.

Posting Style: I use online journaling as a way to connect with others with similar mindsets & interests while also documenting the moments in my life, no matter how large or small. My day-to-day life consists of my hobbies with some work-related rants here and there. There's a quote by Louisa May Alcott that I love, "Preserve your memories, keep them well, what you forget you can never retell."

I try to post daily, but at least every other day. I don't expect my friends to always have something to say and therefore do not expect interactions on every single post due to how often I post. I do read and comment my friends pages just as often.

My hobbies are: abandoned buildings, camping, dog training, disc golf, gardening, hiking, homesteading, nature walks, paranormal, photography, reading, travel, and video games (presently playing:animal crossing, diablo 4, pokemon go but also enjoy: spyro, ratchet & clank, sea of thieves, world of warcraft).

I'm looking to meet people who: are looking to make geniune connections. We don't need to have everything in common, but I do ask that if you do add me, that you're not a conservative bigot that spews more hate than love.

When I add people, my dealbreakers are: negative people that don't at least try to make positive changes in their life.

Before adding me, you should know: About 80% of my posts typically come with a photo (or five), but I do try to write more than I show.

I would never choose The Darkwood because I didn't care for most of Tol Barad.

Fair enough. I don't recall Tol Barad very well, it wasn't one of the areas I actively played in. (But I'm not really a PvPer so that also may be why.)

The amount of times I have accidently went AFK (snack, bathroom) in a PVP area is embarrassing.

I think this has happened to the best of us, haha.

I would much rather absorb the storyline through a book or movie than ever go through Nazjatar ever again. Thankfully that area isn't really needed any more and I can easily avoid it.

Same. I think there are stories that are free to read on WoW's official website. I know I learned about the marriage between Lor'themar and First Arcanist Thalyssra that way. (Which was a total WTF moment because I legit wanted to see that in game!) The elves are still my favorite race in the game so I nerded out on that one.

I wish I could activate now. I only have about two weeks of available time to play before we migrate into our busy season as work. As soon as Back to School season is over, I'm certainly activating.

No rush! I'm big into focusing on real life stuff before playing the game, so I feel ya. I've got the digital authenticator from Blizzard, haven't heard about a Microsoft one. I also agree- wouldn't be the first time I've had to email Blizzard for the same reason, lol. (I stopped playing mid-2013 because of life reasons, only to return in late 2016 and had to jump through hoops of fire to get my account back.)

I will certainly be adding you once I'm on. It sounds like we could have a ton of fun!

Oh absolutely! I can't wait :)

Oh wow. Thank you for sharing. I clicked the link and see there are a few new things that I'll likely want to read up before I get back in there.

Not a problem! There's a ton of WoW secrets, I'm on the discord for them. I love figuring out this stuff.

I'm not big on the PVP portion either, but there was some questline that brought me through Tol Barad at one point. I think it was in my earlier days of playing.

I never thought to check the website for additional stories. I'll be sure to check that out, too!

That's one thing I should do, join more discords! Even when I'm not playing, it's still nice to follow along with events and happenings. You never know what you don't know until people point it out!

I'm not surprised. They have quests for everything, lol.

Their library should be decently sized by now. I'll have to go back and check to see which ones they've got there.

Also true! There's a discord for everything these days. ("YOU get a discord server! And you get a discord server!" lol)
