About Nepa

Hello! My pseudonym is Nepa. I'm a social sciences registered nursing student and a long-time World of Warcraft player. I am a caring sister to three, and I have a lovely boyfriend and two adorable lolcats.

When I'm not busy with school or playing WoW, I like to paint, make crafts, play other games, practice the cello, mess around with photoshop, and enjoy all those other things that normal people do, like friends, music, movies, books, etc.

My one hobby that doesn't really have a title is that I like to enjoy the spring and summer months in whatever ways I can. Basically, taking advantage of great weather to try new things, or enjoy old ones, and just have a good time.

WoW as a Hobby:

For how prominent a hobby World of Warcraft is of mine, I realized I didn't have much to show for it outside of the game - like I might for other hobbies - and that's what I want. This blog is my new little project... a co-hobby, if you will, and a way for me to share my thoughts and experiences with others.

I also want to be part of the WoW community, to make the MMO experience feel a little more... real. I never forget that I'm playing the game with other real people, but sometimes I forget that by playing the game, I am part of a "real" virtual community.

I like to think of it in the same way as people being connected by a particular sport they play. Instead of, say, getting together to play a game of hockey, or baseball, we get together to don silly avatars and slay wrong-doing dragons, demons, and other evil forces (perhaps a Lich King soon, hopefully!). Instead of playing on a rink or field, we play from our computers, thousands of kilometres away from each other.

I can't believe I just tried making an analogy to sports. I'm not really into sports.
