Are you currently guilded? If so, with whom?	Well, I'm in this guild <Dreamy Sparkle Vampires> that I made as a joke
Why are you looking to leave?	Well this paladin Siadina is there too and hes boring to talk to in guild chat.
What other guilds have you been in?	On this toon, pretty much just Vulgar Display of Pwnage and then subpar.
Why do you want to join Surreality?	I've got friends here and I like the social climate.
What do you have to offer the guild? What are your expectations for us?	Well, I'm green and have these awesome fire pants from when I was a cute belf. I'm not looking for a raid spot, just a good group of cool people I can chill with when I'm online.
Do you know any of our members? Who?	Well there's Pyronis. He may tell you differently to save face, but I pretty much taught him everything he knows. I'm basically his pve superstar and have been since back in TBC when I played a paladin who was far hotter than his =P. Neville, Ignus, Annah, Sari and anyone else who is still around from those fun days in TK and SSC
What is your current talent distribution? How, or why, did you choose it? (Explain dubious talent choices. An acceptable answer to this question is not "because I was told to by a guild member in "x." Just like High School Math, show your work.)	I'm 53/8/10 for tanking. Its pretty much the best spec for blood tanking these days, with survivability and also threat/dps talents like hysteria and dancing rune weapon. My dps offspec is a 0/53/18 dual wield frost build but my gear is a terrible hodge podge of whatever no one ever needed, mostly toc 25 and icc 10 man gear.
What is your preferred raid role? If this role isn't available, are you willing to respec?	I prefer to raid as a tank but have been known to dps. However, I know your raids are full on both tanks and plate dps which is fine as I'm not applying for a raid spot just a friends and family spot
If you're applying as a DPS class, can you explain the basics of your rotation/priority system, and why you use it?
Surreality logs can be found at http://www.worldoflogs.com/guilds/4972/. You will be held to the standard of being able to put out numbers reasonably close to ours. Do you feel that this is something you're capable of doing? Do you have any applicable logs of your performance?	I doubt it, I haven't really raided for months now so I'm hideously out of date.
No one has their ideal gear, and getting that gear we want is part of the reason for raiding. Can you point out any problems you see in your own gearing at the moment, and explain your plans to address those issues?	In the set I've most likely got on in my armory, I'm way below expertise cap, which is something that people say is bad, but honestly isn't a big problem if you can still hold aggro. Besides, I can sap out for the expertise badge chest and the tier gloves and get back to 26 expertise and hit cap if need be, sacrificing a few hundred health in the process
Describe your previous raid experience. What is your favorite boss fight? Why?	I raided all through Vanilla, and in TBC as well up to Sunwell, when I took a break to focus on school. I've done up to LK on normal 25 and done marrowgar, gunship, rotface and attempts on festergut 25 heroic with a weekly alt/pug run by SA. My favorite fight is still Little Red Riding Hood in Karazhan. It was always so entertaining to hear "Run away little girl" and then see whoever it was die. It seemed like no matter who I ran it with there were always at least 4 people who couldn't do that part of the fight.
What add-ons do you use? What add-on can't you live without? Why? Can you include a screenshot of your raiding ui?	I use a ton of addons. Grid, Xperl, bartenders, button facade, omen, dbm, msbt, etc. I still can't live without Peggle. Its so addicting, its like my in-game coffee fix. Don't have any screenshots of my UI, which is good as it makes most people's eyes bleed from its apparent overcrowdedness, but I use dual 30 inch monitors, which gives me plenty of space
How many times a week are you willing to raid? When are you available?	Well I'm done with school for the near future. I am thinking about continuing on to get a doctorate in accounting or finance, or possibly even both. I'm currently jobless and not seeing any prospects for the near future either. I've worked for the school for the past 3 years as a full time tutor and student instructor and between that and my knack at playing the market over the past year I have a decent nest egg built up to get me through. TLDR version is I'm available any day, any time, but only if you absolutely needed someone to raid because I don't want to displace anyone who actually has the gear and experience for 25 heroics
How do you spend your time in-game outside of raid time?	I've been known to troll trade chat about things like Twilight, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Metroid, Zelda, etc. I mostly spend my time selling my DKs body for random heroics or flying in circles on my super fast star pony on my pally farming stuff.
Tell us about a time you wiped your group or raid.	Well, back in Ulduar after a wipe on General Vezax HM, I had turned on unholy presence to run back faster and forgot to switch back to frost presence before the pull. The raid leader tore this warlock a new hole for pulling aggro 5 seconds into the fight and wiping us. So I had to pipe up in vent to defend the lock cuz I noticed my mistake, but all I could say was "Oops" because everyone started laughing as they noticed that I was in the wrong presence. They still make fun of me by asking me to double check my presence, even in random heroics.
Best. AFK. Ever.	Someone threw a refrigerator off a moving truck right in front of my house in the middle of a raid one night. It was so loud that I bolted outside in my raid outfit (pajama pants ftw) with a shotgun. Sadly the fridge was broken from the fall and couldn't be used
Anything else?	Well, if Keaton still suffers from that pesky flea problem he had back in TBC, I've picked up a few tricks since switching to a DK and would be more than willing to help burn them out!
