About the site name: Heals because I play a holy priest mostly. Paper because he’s a scribe, And threads for my mage/tailor. It’s sounds better than the precious title (An Engineer’s Journal) and besides, I don’t play my engineer anymore.
I retired from the US Navy after 24 years in 2006. Now I am going back to school full time as a non-traditional student (aka an old guy) to get my degree in Information Systems Security. I was deployed overseas when WOW first came out, so I started playing as soon as I got back a few months later.
Real life interests include homebrewing, wine-making, cheese-making, making jewelry, and obviously playing Wow.
In game I love raiding, tradeskills, and the auction house. I’m not much into PvP but I do enjoy an occasional run in Strand of the Ancients.
Roswynn is my main. She’s a Forsaken Mage currently Arcane specced. She is my tailor/enchanter. When she is not leading the Epic Dolls into Naxxramas or Obsidian Sanctum, she is farming materials for tailoring.
I started out on my priest Stephenn as an Engineer and had it maxed out at 300. When the Burning Crusade expansion gave us Jewelcrafting I switched to Jewelcrafting and took it to 375. Patch 2.3 brought us Engineering Flying Machines so I switched back and have taken it all of the way to 375. He’s now struggling to get it to 450.
Gorrah is my Orc Death Knight. She’s stuck at level 58 until I can get her tradeskills up to the level where she can use Outland materials. She’s a miner/jewelcrafter.
Sylvaen is a Blood Elf Beastmaster Hunter, together with her gorilladin pet Zaius, she is leveling her way through the 40’s in STV, etc. She is a Miner and a Skinner.
Finally, Zala’jin is my baby troll priest. He’s my answer to the guild need for healers in raids (Stephenn is Alliance so can’t raid with the Dolls) and may well become my main soon. Right now he’s level 72 (March 2009) and just recently made the switch from Shadow to Holy. He is an herbalist/ scribe.
I also enjoy testing on the Public Test Realms and a lot of my blog posts are about that. I’m really excited about the Argent Tournament on the PTRs and have been testing (and finding a few bugs) in that.
