I don’t want to write about WoW today. Priestr hit 25 last night and went into Stockades and was group leader. It went very well.
What I want to talk about is spiders. Particularly the ones that freak my girlfriend out. I have good news for the whole world: she killed her first spider yesterday… in the car.
She got in the car and as she was leaving the parking lot, it started to dangle and sway from the top of the windshield, on the INSIDE of the car. That’s how she said it. Like it was the worst thing that could happen that day. So, she is trying to get her sandal off to get it as it scurries back and forth, but then it disappeared. She was so freaking out that she had to pull over at a Publix store and wait for it, thinking the whole time that it could start crawling on her at any second. Then it reappeared and she grabbed the very bottom of the sandal and squashed it with the very top. It was an amazing tale to hear.
I was able to manage my composure clear up until the VERY end and totally lost it. It was the funniest story I’d heard in months and I laughed and coughed for about 2 minutes. 21 years old and never killed a spider. She always ran to her dad, brother, or me to get them. That just cracks me up.
I guess now’s not the time to tell her that I can’t find the spider that I saw in my bathroom this morning.
Too many questions left unanswered!!
– What level was the spider?
– How much xp did she get?
– What loot did it drop?
– Never heard of a Sandal of Smite before….must be a new item… Thanks Blizzard !
Now THAT’s funny. We’ll have to let her see this one.
Her store assistant manager started playing WoW recently, too. It’s spreading through the ranks of Publix like wildfire now. LOL.
Hah, that was great… this is my first time visiting your blog. I’ve recently started blogging my WoW experiences and did a search for others… I’m glad I was greeted by such an entertaining situation! I’m not a big fan of spiders myself, and I’m a guy! I get a great sense of power when I get to kill them in the game… but anyway… Just wanted to say HI! And grats on downing Garr… (this last sentance should be a comment in the other post but i’m a tad lazy…)
Also, for lack of style i’ll be blunt: may I post a link to you on my blog?
Only if you give me a link to your blog. Also, please consider an invitation to Bloggers on Sen’jin any time.
Thanks for reading and letting me know you’re here.
Postulating potential responses from “the girlfriend”:
The spider was small, and given her ability to one-shot it, I’m guessing it was gray to her, thus there was no XP reward.
On second thought, since this was the first time an accomplishment was achieved, maybe there was some small quest xp reward. Should have been trivial.
Arbitrary award of 50xp.
There was no mention of actual loot, though I suspect she may have tried to vendor the squished remains at her local Publix. If you are able to visit – it may be stocked in Aisle 4.
Despite Gnomicidials interest in new loot, the sandal was not actually particulaly noteworthy, merely one acquired from the AH (not because she needed it – but because auctioneer said it was a steal).

When I started reading the title I thought at first that she killed it by running her car over it… ๐
Women are the same everywhere… always affraid of spiders.. ๐
You know you get lots more XP when you kill it for her.. ๐
But if I’m always killing them, they are WAYYY gray for me… unless it’s a quest reward every time, like a blue turn in, only without the diminishing rewards each time I complete the quest.
Perhaps Odinneke may be referring to reputation gains you receive from your gf for killing the mob (errr spider).
No, no, no… Odinneke. You get rep as opposed to faction… Bliz realizes that us players need as much girlfriend/wife rep as possible. It’s a very hard grind.
