omg i felt so n00b

at least i look bad ass

so i've been mildly WoW zombie again.  i finally got geared enough to do heroics*.  last night i ran three of them with some guys i know in game.  all i have to say is thank God they ran blackrock caverns and throne of tides with me before we got to the vortex pinnacle.  i had never done any of those before.  taking that into consideration, i think i did pretty well in the first two.  the times i died weren't really because of anything i did wrong.  my dps** wasn't too bad considering my gear.  and the guys i was grouped with weren't trying to come up with excuses to kick me out.  i was starting to get a false sense of confidence.  and then we did the vertex pinnacle.  honestly, i'm surprised they are still speaking with me after that.  i did ok on the first two bosses.***  i died, but it's debatable if i caused it or not.  and aside from missing the teleport to the next level, i didn't do anything too n00bish**** and then we got to the final boss.  first i died because i took a wrong step and was stuck down by a lightning bolt and killed instantly.  i didn't feel too bad yet because i wasn't the only one in the party who did that.  one of the guys in the group resurrected me, and we tried again.  sadly, the same thing happened again.  but this time i died on the wrong side of the boss and i was too far away for anyone to be able to resurrect me with getting themselves killed in the process.  so i had to release my ghost to the graveyard, and this is where i started looking really n00b.  because i had never done this dungeon before, i had no idea where the fuck the entrance to it was.  one of the guys was trying to type out to me how to find it, but it just was't happening.  i literally was running around as a ghost for over five minutes because i was lost as all hell and couldn't not find the damn front door.  the druid in the group is one of the guys who i knew, so he was being cool about it and said he would just battle resurrect me once they started fighting.  only problem with this is that when he did, the boss decided to call down another lightning storm, so as soon as i was alive again, i got hit by another fucking lightning bolt.  the death knight in the group tried to turn me into a reanimated zombie (for lack of a better term) but i clicked the wrong button and instead of fighting the boss i blew up my corpse.  so now i was dead again.  for the fourth time on the same boss due to me being a n00b about it.  that has never happen to me before.  i have honestly never failed that hard in all six years of playing this game.  i think a little part of my gamer soul died last night.  thank God  i'm a girl or i would never be able to talk them into doing heroics with me again.

*clarification for non gamers: heroics = high level dungeons that usually drop better armor and weapons and/or give you points that you can use to buy better armor and weapons.  it's a bit of a repetitive cycle.  you do normal dungeons to get gear to do heroic dungeons.  you do heroic  dungeons to get gear to to raid dungeons.  you do raid dungeons to show off how big you epenis is to random people on line who you have never met, and probably never will.

** dps = damage per second.  the higher your dps number, the better you are doing.

*** boss = bad guy in the dungeon that you loot the good gear from when you kill them

**** n00b = a really inexperienced and/or really bad player who doesn't know what the fuck they are doing.  you don't want to be called this ever.
