A Happy Healing Thanksgiving

Perhaps not everyone observes Thanksgiving as an actual holiday. That’s perfectly fine. It’s still a great reason to stuff your face, watch some football, and be thankful for the things you have around you!
As I sit in my office (people still have to know the traffic), I’m inclined to be thankful for a lot of things. The usual: I’m happy I have a job, my health, my happiness, and a roof over my head.
However, I’m going to take one extra moment to be thankful for why I’m here writing this. Yes, I’m thankful that my brother introduced me to this game 3 years ago. I’m thankful that it has become a part of my life.
In its integration, this game has introduced me to a wealth of great people. Some have come and gone, but others are here to stay. Some I leveled with, others I’ve met since my attainment of the top level of this game. I’ve raided with these people, PvP’d with these people, cursed and praised the game with these people.
I’m thankful for the people I’ve found upon my joining the Twitter community. Without my introduction to Twitter, I never would’ve transferred to Khadgar, where I first started learning about the expansive blogging community we have. I never would’ve started reading World of Matticus. I’m thankful that the passion I found within this community has expanded my own passions. I’m thankful that this path eventually introduced me to Lodur and Matticus, which led me to find such a great raiding guild to be a part of, Unpossible.
Finally, I’m greatful for the support and warmth that this community provides. We all come from different walks of life, and we can all come together to share our passion of this game. We can disagree at times, but that’s what makes it so great. Where we go from here…
Let’s kick Arthas’s ass!
Happy Holidays from your friend neighborhood Thespius.








I'm Matticus and I play a Dwarf Priest. My home is in Conquest, a raiding Guild that I have founded. Every week, I log 12 hours raiding on Ner'Zhul.
Wynthea is the Troll Priest with the best Mohawk on Firetree. Currently, I raid 4 nights a week in a hardcore guild. I started playing WoW in May 2005, and raiding end-game in May 2007. My guild is currently working through 25-man WotLK content. I've tried playing other classes, but Priests are my passion. I am extremely fond of Dwarves.... especially with Ketchup.
My name is Sydera and I like to heal things--think Florence Nightingale with foliage. I play a night elf druid on Ner'Zhul, and I raid 12 hours a week. As a guild officer for Conquest, I coordinate healing and recruit new raiders. I started playing WoW in Fall 2005, and it was love at first click. Before I discovered the joys of Broccoli-stalk healing, I raided as a holy paladin, and I now have alts in all healing classes. I have to say, though, bark beats poofy dresses and heavy plate in my book.
Right on! There’s a lot to be thankful for in every day life and we just need to remember to stay positive and not dwell on the negative.
On another note, I play on Khadgar too. I had no idea there was a blogging community on it!
