I've been enticed back into raiding.. very gently and casually... and erm.. interestingly enough as a KITTEH. Which I've enjoyed because it's something I've not done before.. I'm not yet as comfortable as I'd like to be.. but I'm really enjoying the challenge of getting up to speed quickly.
But it's been fun.
The reason I wanted to mention it was because this evening during the raid I had a whisper from someone else in the group, that I'm ashamed to say I don't really know well at all .. and as someone who prides herself on knowing her guildies I feel a bit bad that I don't know a single fact about them.. apart from the class they play.
Anyway, the whisper was concerning something to do with the raid.. but it got followed up with *I'm singing Guns & Roses now because Issy makes me think Izzy*
Which, loving G&R, I couldn't fault :P
And as what I'd had in my head at the time was a bastardised version of Loch Lomond - "You take the left foot and I'll take the right foot, and I'll be in Lava befooooore you".. and told him so.. it was only an improvement.
The conversation progressed, and he promised to jump in the lava if we downed the boss. Which we did :) And he duly jumped :D *Issy does evil cackle*
The thing that stood out in my head though, was a line from him, "I'm so glad you joined the raid group. It's so much more fun with you around".
That really touched me, and it made me think again of Stubborn's posts about how people behave towards each other.
We might not think these things need saying, but they can make so much difference.
Being nice?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah. It seems so trivial, so elementary, but just having a few positive people (not endlessly forgiving mind you - but just genuinely nice positive people) in the raid group can make a world of a difference!
I think it's more than just being *nice*. I think it's actually about being brave enough to say what you think when that is a compliment..
ReplyDeleteI think it's a kind of risk actually - a lot of people find it hard to take a compliment, so you can come across either like some sycophant or like you're trying to get into their knickers.
I find myself wanting to say *Can't we all just get along* in a dodgy accent now though... :P
