I’m late to the group hug party, but still joining in!

Thanks, Beru. I already said it in my post but I just want to remind you again how much I appreciate everything you’ve done for the blogging community, and for us druids in particular.

Firstly, this quote from Elfi is exactly perfect for me, and probably said better than I could
“I will admit now (ok and everyone is gonna yell at me!) that I am/was scared of Beru. I think Falling Leaves and Wings was one of the first druid blogs I read consistently for raiding tips and advice (Cannot be tamed is the other), and my first venture to post online. It took a long time for me to post. I was scared. What would a hugely famous raiding druid from a heroic guild think of some person from a social raiding guild writing replies to the stuff she writes? And I do get extremely anxious when I don’t get a response – you probably have to be a bit timid like me to understand what I’m trying to say…”

The only difference for me is that prevents me from posting a comment in the first place, rather than just being nervous about it ^^

Seeing that Beru has actually been reading and following RiE is just awesome and to then see her say such lovely things, well, I would say I had a lump in my throat but I am a bloke and we don’t do things like that (honest )

So, thank you Beru, you are truly a huge presence in the druid community and I am not sure you realise how much it means to us mere mortals when you say nice things about us

*hugs*

I was about to just leave a comment about how warm and fuzzy this post made me feel, Beru, and then I read Navi’s reply! Awww! Now, I just cannot express how wonderful it is to see the ties and respect and support that everyone has and freely gives.

In many ways, it seems that having a number of Druid bloggers (for example, since I think you all are the largest chunk of us!) would lead to some competition… but you guys collaborate! and talk to each! and bounce ideas! Even in Twitter.

I started writing my blog as a release for the ideas that occasionally jumble in my head. But I can honestly say I am in this for the long term more because of the awesome community of thinkers, writers, raiders, PvPers and achievement seekers that make it a lively and lovely place to be!

Beru’s posts always make me feel a bit emotional because she writes from the heart.
I will admit now (ok and everyone is gonna yell at me!) that I am/was scared of Beru. I think Falling Leaves and Wings was one of the first druid blogs I read consistently for raiding tips and advice (Cannot be tamed is the other), and my first venture to post online. It took a long time for me to post. I was scared. What would a hugely famous raiding druid from a heroic guild think of some person from a social raiding guild writing replies to the stuff she writes? And I do get extremely anxious when I don’t get a response – you probably have to be a bit timid like me to understand what I’m trying to say…
But after reading this today, I thought perhaps Beru doesn’t think I’m a total idiot, and ignore everything I say. She is a busy person She must have 1000 people reading and commenting and stuff and she doesn’t have time to get back to them all. And she does take the time to do welcome wagon and judge things like the BA Thanksgiving. And she raid leads and has to keep her guild propped up and she wants to make sure her guild succeeds and everyone is happy. Coz that is Beru, and I’m sure her guildies would agree she does a great job.
So after reading this today, I am not scared of Beru anymore. Beru is just a normal person writing about her wow life and she is busy! And she has bad hands so she can’t waste time typing responses to the billions of replies! So I just want to say here, thank you Beru, your blog has always been inspirational and full of character and warmth, and I didn’t say so before, because I was afraid to.

I’m jumping in on the group hug … in fact, I’m making it a dogpile.

Thanks so much for the mention Beru. You’ve managed to mirror some of my sentiments again.

I’m never really sure how many people actually take the time to look at my posts, esp when you don’t have the ability to comment on them (something that I’m really looking forward to when the functionality is added, I can’t wait). I am very new to the the Blog Azeroth community only joining around the Thanksgiving event, so I’ve just started to make comments on people’s blogs as that’s something I would appreciate too. I understand where you’re coming from though. I’ve felt the same way in the past. I would love my Guildies to be more active on the Guild site. In the past I’ve tried adding fun games and competitions but I guess not everyone is interested in that. So Thanks again for your comments above. You don’t know what it means to me to have a comment from someone I’ve been following for a while

I’m so glad you liked the costume posts too. I do know the fishing outfit is one of the more generic ones out there but it’s one of the first costumes I had on my toon. On a side note, I had a choice of 3 different coloured outfits for the ‘Pebbles’ costume but I chose the greenish because it’s my special guy’s fav. colour.

I can’t believe how much time and effort I’ve been putting into all my costumes lately but I couldn’t wait to see the finished result and share them with anyone who was willing to look.

I don’t think I’ve ever shared so much of myself in a post like that thanksgiving one. I did decide to withdraw from the event for a bit due to some personal issues (aka a huge argument with the person involved) but in the end I was persuaded to add it back. I think in the long run it was worth sharing. It was just nice to get it out in an online journal setting.

I’m not crying, I have…some dust…in my eye…

I’m so glad we had this event, because it’s really bringing out all the good feelings and secret admirations we have for each other. Yaaay blogiverse!! <3

“I remember your struggles through Ulduar”.

Oh yes, the fun that was the summer of 09 as we attempted Freya plus three with a bunch of trigger happy mages who couldn’t grasp the idea of stopping aoeing before all the little plants blew up on the raid. Happy days.

Thanks for the thanks
