why levelling is like epilation... rly

As if three level seventies was not enough I'd like to get at least two more to seventy before Wrath comes out. Maybe more. I have my little Rogue and Warlock languishing at thirty, my Druid at twenty-three and Foxevil, my main alt project, is moving swiftly towards forty - I just haven't had a much time to play as I would like what with moving and everything that is going on real life.

Anyway, yesterday morning I was doing "girlie stuff". Yep, I do that, being a girl, and whilst going through the weekly pain of epliation (boys, this is where said, slightly batty woman applies said instrument of torture, which has a rotating head with tweezers on it, to hairy places so that it can rip all the hairs out - and yes we only do it because otherwise you complain about hairy legs, left to our own devices we probably wouldn't bother.) and I got to thinking how epiliation is very much like levelling an alt in WoW. Possibly an odd thought I will admit, but let's go there anyway:

It's painful, damn painful; it seems to take up inordinately more time than you were expecting; you always seem to miss a bit and have to go back again; you can end up bleeding all day long and still not have finished; you often wonder if the pain is worth it; you have to stop repeatedly because you just can't take anymore; even when you're finshed you're still sore from it and finally, the quest rewards just aren't as good as you remembered - in the case of epilation you go through all the pain and your boyfriend either doesn't notice or tells you that you missed a bit!

You'd think from all that I wasn't enjoying levelling alts. You'd be wrong, while it can be a bit arduous and boring at times it is still exciting to get aquainted with a new character, and in the case of Foxevil for me a new class too! I do wish there was more new Azerothian content, Dustwallow was a nice step in the right direction for Blizz but I still wish that they had added even more content, afterall WoW is a progressive game and there are always new people levelling or oldies going back for another go! I still wonder if I am a masochist, should I not be happy with having three seventies already? I guess I am an altaholic!
