Madness Has Set In
Yes, I seem to have come completely unhinged.Β I was doing so well waiting for Mists but now I’m just getting squirrelly. While I love companion pets I’ve been happy in the past to just let them accumulate slowly. I’ll occasionally go farm for one of the rare ones with little success, it’s okay though I like Feralas.
I recently realized I hadn’t bought the Hyjal Bear Cub so added him to my collection, then The Godmother had a post mentioning Mr. Grubbs who I had not known about. That made 146, apparently that’s my tipping point. Cat contacted Sasche and asked her to purchase anything she could afford which wasn’t very nice. The Horde characters aren’t rolling in money like Cat is. Sasche could afford one so that made 147.
OMG! Only three left! Checked the AH and the bank alt said it would cost me … a lot. MUST HAVE my Celestial Dragon right now! Here’s the lunacy part, I immediately bought three pets from the Blizzard store. I’m keeping this to myself, I don’t think my non-gaming husband would understand. I spent real live money so my virtual characters wouldn’t be inconvenienced by having to spend THEIR virtual money on their virtual pets.
Yes, I know! It makes sense to me too. But still, I’m not telling him. Pretty sure he wouldn’t get it. Probably should go back to Tyria and stay out of trouble there until Theramore. Yeah, how much trouble could I get into there.

Haha! I totally understand. I was going crazy when I was working toward that achievement. It becomes an obsession that haunts your dreams and you have to have more pets now now NOW!
Grats on your dragon! π

Thanks Khizz! It did! And it kind of snuck up on me, they must be mine, my precious, lol.

Ooh congrats on the dragon and achievement. Which 3 did you buy from the store?
September 17, 2012 at 12:15 pm
I got the Soul of the Aspects, Moonkin Hatchling and the Cenarion Hatchling which is kind of nice as it matches her ride!

Always glad to add to lunacy in whatever form π
September 17, 2012 at 12:15 pm
Big thanks on that Mr. Grubbs mention, I didn’t even know he was out there waiting for me!

grats on your achievement!
September 17, 2012 at 12:16 pm
Thanks! I’m afraid to log in again, no telling what I could get up to next!

Makes perfect sense to me! Grats on new pets π
September 17, 2012 at 12:17 pm
It does, doesn’t it! I’d much rather spend my money than theirs, they need to save up for Mists!

Your purchase was a present for yourself. Or possibly a make-up present from your husband next time he’d end up in the doghouse. “It’s okay. Your apology will be accepted in the form of this in-game pet you got me.”
Unless he’s unlike other husbands and never makes a mistake.

That makes good sense! He just doesn’t get it though, I’ve asked for companion pets as presents at birthday and Christmas since they came out and he looks at me like I have totally flipped, I think he thinks I’m joking, sigh.
Mistakes are made, lol, we’re about even!

That’s just silly. Everyone knows companion pets make amazing stocking stuffers. Hrm, maybe it just does in our house.

Speaking of Theramore, it goes live this afternoon. Going to try to do it before work, in which case Killthryn and I could use a third to complete the scenario π

Today! I thought it was tomorrow! I just looked up the requirements, I will just squeak by the item level 353 requirement! I would love to come with!
September 17, 2012 at 12:59 pm
Sweet!

Grats π
And had I been short, I would have done exactly the same thing :p
September 17, 2012 at 6:27 pm
Thank you! I knew you all would understand! Must have all the tiny little pets. Now I see in Mists I need 99 more, so close!

You know I get it. (Tabs over to ebay and the game store…)

LOL! I can’t count the times I’ve stared lovingly at the El Pollo Grande Loot Card on eBay!
