Interviews

21 Comments

At some point today– I’m not sure when– a “Fifteen Minutes of Fame” article about me is scheduled to be going live on WoWInsider. This is terribly ironic to me for two reasons, firstly, I have to confess that I really don’t like being linked to on WI, so the thought of being interviewed by them is quite terrifying, and secondly, I’ve no idea what about me would be so interesting! Other than perhaps my WoW-on-Linux tendencies, which we didn’t touch on in the interview.

I also find it super ironic that I get WI’d on a weekly basis, that my sisters have been WI’d (they were the ones who made the pompoms), and that my boyfriend writes the warlock column over there. Considering that two years ago I wanted absolutely nothing to do with this game (long story), it’s all crazy, I says!

However, I did agree to go through with the interview, mostly because as far as I’m aware it means someone out there is interested in hearing about me for whatever reason, and I wanted to oblige! So… if you’re curious, keep an eye out over there for the impending article. And leave me kind words, if you’re feeling so inclined… I’m super nervous about it.

And now I head off to… another interview. A job interview. Yes, I am in the market for a new job, one that won’t make my allergies go haywire and one that will align itself with my World of Warcraft schedule better than my current one does. Yes, that is a motivating factor. Yes, I am a geek. Guildies, I do this for you. /salute

  1. Just goes to show how much things change. You should know that you write one of the best blog (not just hunter blog, but in general, all blogs) out there. You have a religious following because of it. I think it is only fitting you got interviewed by WI.

    BTW. I tagged you on one of my post.

  2. I think the question is why wouldn’t someone want to interview you? You really do have one of the best blogs I’ve ever read (I check it several times a day just to make sure I never miss anything). And you are pretty much the sweetest person I’ve ever, well, not met, but read about. Your blog is always a pick-me-up and makes me go “awww” afterward! Can’t wait to read your interview!

  5. This is where I say “I told you so”. xD Except that you and le boi got far more into WoW than I ever was!

  6. I know you and your readers are bound to be impatient … You’re long in the queue, but it’s coming up late this evening!

  9. Grats Pike. And I can say I’m not suprised at all. You do have a huge following, and have gotten me to respond-post enough times in the past. Can’t wait to read it!

  13. You best get use to the attention, people like you. This isn’t going to be your last interview you know. Think of this as a warm up for future interviews.

  14. Grats on being featured! I know this isn’t the first time, but this time it’s all about you. 😛

    And good luck on the job interview.

  15. Can’t wait for the interview, even tho I usually don’t have anything to do with WowInsider (too much other stuff to read :P)

    Good luck on the job hunt!

  16. I have to agree with all the comments here. Your blog is the best blog out there and I don’t even play WoW (my kids do). I am not surprised that you have the following you do. I think big things are in store for you. Keep up the good work! 🙂

  18. Unsurprising that you need a job that fits more around your WoW time, I recently had a politely-but-firmly refuse a change of hours that would pretty much write all over my guild’s scheduled raid-times. Yes, I told them it was for WoW, yes they were visibly nonplussed. “Think of it like band practice,” I said.

    Work for me is the boring bit that pays for the fun bits, there’s no point in letting it take over.
