Geographic Location	Alberta, Canada
Favorite Cereal	Honey Bunches of Oats or Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Though they recently came out with Just Bunches (or perhaps long ago and I just don't buy cereal that often due to my inherit distrust of milk expiry dates) and that's pretty awesome.
Are you currently guilded? If so, with whom?	Yes; my wow friends. Or Hearth on Wipes. An attempt to go "serious" from our Alliance Assassins roots that ultimately failed (still fun to be in though, well the vent at least).
Why are you looking to leave?	Progression and achievements. I guess gear too but who cares about that.
What other guilds have you been in?	Alliance Assassins from levels 41-80. Brief and painful stint in Total Decimation which in the end ruined my reputation after we (AA->HoW guys) left and went back to AA and I went looking for a more "raiding" guild on the forums. Kind of quit raiding as much as I used to since then. Then we formed HoW when a few wanted to try a "serious" progression guild.
Why do you want to join Surreality?	Elam is about the only reason. I don't know any others of you... That and your advertisement of being a casual serious raiding guild. I like casual, and Elam is a qt. I was also seriously pursued back in my heyday by A Priori when they were still raiding and I never joined due to wanting to stay with my friends and now regret it playing wise, but not company wise (no proto-drakes or nice achievements or hard modes, etc). So I'd like to see some stuff that I pay 15$/month to potentially see. I wonder what ever happened to Fastous...
What do you have to offer the guild?	You know, I really hate resumes, applications, and especially cover letters. Some of my time a week and whatever my class offers.
What are your expectations for us?	No idea, see above. Maybe balloon animals.
Do you know any of our members? Who?	Elam.
What is your current talent distribution? How, or why, did you choose it?	I actually don't know offhand. One second... Oh, I'm on my warlock. Some sort of distribution that I pick whenever I have to respec due to talent changes or total overhauls made by Blizzard. As for choosing it, I just went down the trees picking the talents that made the most sense for raiding. Though I do know my shadow spec is spec'd into the more healing to help out the raid more than it is for assisting my dps. I think... uhh, Improved Vampiric Embrace or something vs. the 15% mana reduction on spells. I never run out of mana anyway since part of my shadow set is my healing set due to offspec. All of that applies also to my warlock though I might respec her now that I have enough hit to do so. My DK I have no idea so I looked it up and will probably respec her again here soon as well.
What is your preferred raid role? If this role isn't available, are you willing to respec?	Blood/Frost Tanking on Arisand (DK). Holy/Disc Healing on Myshella (Priest). Whatever DPS on Isolda (Warlock). And offspec DPS on Myshella. Arisand and Isolda are my alts and Arisand's blood spec needs to be reworked. Isolda I'm still figuring out but I roll currently as destro due to easiness and she needs a bit more gear but getting into raids is very hard with that annoying GS lately and dps queues take forever, but nonetheless getting geared up slowly.
Describe your previous raid experience.	Fun, leading to frustrating, leading to "wow... this sucks", leading to dismal lows and rejection, leading to horrible lag and disconnections, leading to ceasing to raid and taking up reading, leading to raiding out of boredom, leading to "wow, this is what we've become?", leading to becoming main healer again despite not wanting to raid due to problems friends were having, leading to GS arguments, leading back to 10 mans, leading to some progression, leading to everyone disappearing and me now applying here. Haven't done any 25 ICC because... who knows, and I don't like to pug 10 man so haven't progressed any further since the guild stopped doing them.
What is your favorite boss fight? Why?	I hate them all. Because pacifism doesn't work. Kara was fun, I think. It was my first raid and I remember it being fun but honestly, I don't remember any of the fights. Wrath came out after a month and I only did it 3 or 4 times. Modern bosses... I enjoyed a lot of the Ulduar fights like Mimiron. Mimiron was fun.
What add-ons do you use? What add-on can't you live without? Why?	DBM, Bartender4, Xperl, Auctioneer, Recount, Omen, and.... one second. Oh yes, AtlasLoot. And I have Gearscore for shits and giggles but I always just say "I don't use it" when asked for my GS. You'd be amazed how quickly a reputation can die and how few raids you'll get into saying that. I couldn't live without... well I could live without all of them probably except for Omen on my lock and DBM on the tank/healer for warning reasons.
How many times a week are you willing to raid? When are you available?	2-3 days a week weekdays. Can go in on weekends. 7:30-12:00 Server time weekdays (though I cook supper in that time as well). Weekends anytime until 12:00 ST on Sunday. Also not available when fiancee comes to visit me or I her.
How do you spend your time in-game outside of raid time?	I sit on a bench at the fountain in the middle of Dalaran with Lolmyshella (alliance priest). And since I don't raid much at all, you can almost certainly find me there anytime I am on.
Tell us about a time you wiped your group or raid.	Just between you and me, I cost us Undying on KT the week before Ulduar came out. Well, me and a targeting problem when I went to heal. Didn't wipe, but I can't think of any time I've caused us to wipe. That's what Tsuyu is for. Never did go back in for Undying... I think our will was broken after that.
Best. AFK. Ever.	Forge of Souls through to end of Halls of Reflection first couple weeks they were out I wasn't playing. Friend wanted me to heal it and experience it since I was making fun of them in vent for how hard a time they were having. I was alt-tabbing back and forth talking to my fiancee and healing the instances from beginning of FoS to end of HoR. No one died and I never went below 75% mana. The friend called me an asshole and has never run it with me again. I think he quit healing on his alt after that too. Still friends though. As for afk, I had a reputation for cooking full course meals during raids and would often "AFK for ham/roast/chicken/steak/potatoes/stirfry....etc" during Naxx 25 and we still cleared it in 2 1/2 hours despite the main healer being AFK often to cook. Oh yes, and cake. Mmmmmm, delicious raids.
Anything else?	I'm really applying for any of those three characters. Arisand, Myshella, or Isolda. I know you're looking more for Warlocks so that's why she's included. Myshella has always been my main on this server (though Isolda was my first character and first 70 on another server before I came to BDF). Tanking causes me to swear (especially heroics), dps I find repetitive and boring but I'm fairly good at it for offspec I believe. But I love healing, though I know you probably don't need a healer so I'm fine with DPS. I also have brown hair with gray areas at the temples.
