I am now available ENCRYPTED

Because when I’m stressed out and have a lot of free time, I upgrade my computer’s security. It’s soothing.

Now all I need to do is wait for someone I know to get a public key, making this actually make some kind of sense. (MY PARENTS WILL NEVER DO THIS EVEN THOUGH THEY REALLY, REALLY SHOULD, IT’S PRETTY IMPORTANT IN YOUR GUYS’ LINE OF WORK. Whereas no one actually wants to read my email, being as it mainly concerns Pokemon and my inflammation.)

FireGPG is really buggy. Sometimes it doesn’t recognize my password, even if I just cut-and-pasted it into Enigmail and it worked fine. Sometimes it forgets to ask me for my password, and then says, “Password was incorrect.” And sometimes it forgets to ask me for my password, and then goes ahead and does whatever I was trying to do anyway. I’m pretty sure these are bad things!

I might be playing WoW again.

So we’ve got Varian Wrynn who leads the humans, and Thrall who leads the orcs. And Thrall is the nice one who reads books and sincerely regrets the necessity of ripping your legs off, and Varian is the angry one who yells “traitor!” a lot and whose ten-year-old* keeps having to talk him down.** And they’ve got to have their angsty backstory to explain how they turned out like this, of course.

But why is it the same backstory? Is being enslaved and forced to become a gladiator just some kind of rite of passage in Azeroth?

* I think the endgame plan is probably that Thrall and Prince Anduin get married.

** If the description of their personalities sounds intriguing to you, please just like… imagine the story you want to go there. You do not want to try and read the books. I promise.
