Soooo Close!

I got on this evening and attempted to work on the Love is in the Air achievements. My first barrier I ran into on that was the constant tells from everyone who remotely knew me to come do some version of Naxx with them. I continued to run around to the different capital cities doing some of the activities. I was just about to say screw it to the whole thing when I hit a string of the more rare achievements. I have ended up with the black dress, the Picknick Basket, and the Truesilver Shafted Arrow (the flying goblin pet). I thought well now I got all the hard ones I need to do the other ones now
I had checked the Heroic Daily while I was doing the cooking daily and noticed it was HoS. I had been in the LFG for it while I was doing the holiday work. Eventually I got a tell from someone and annoyed with the holiday stuff joined them. He apparently had carefully crafted our group, as he was after some of the HoS achievements. He had more achievement points than I had ever seen at just over 6200. I can’t remember his name off the top of my head I’ll have to look it up in Karma. Anyways we managed 2 of the tree HoS achievements one of which I hadn’t got. The one on the last guy is really hard time time with the Oozes. The bigger part of destiny again was the Rose dropped and yes I won it
So I did a lot of standing in front of people again following the stupid hearts, trying to manage the stupid number of things in my inventory to make all the crap. Again I did this till I was about crazy and then put myself up for a 10 man OS. I was invited into one after a little bit. The guy kind of annoyed me because after he invited me he told me that he was going to armory me and make sure I was good enough. We did it easy enough as usual they bring too many healers 2 is enough everyone always brings 3
Oh and on this run I won the Majestic Dragon Figurine to replace my Spark of Life. I didn’t really need the extra spell haste I have so much and it seemed given the randomness of the Spark that it would give me more mana regen. When we were done they tried to get me to go to Naxx. I went back to my achievements.
By the end of the evening I was close to done with all of them. I even managed to get one of the Bag of Candies and got 5 of the 10 names you need. I went all over to Pity the fool as seen here in this shot. I heard a tank I’ve grouped with quite a bit starting up a 25 man Vault and joined up for that for another break.
While I was in Wintersgrasp I went by and got my Mammoth I kept forgetting to get with my shards. I had more than plenty and you even get an achievement for it which I didn’t realize
We finished up the Vault which dropped all plate and mail gear as easily as usual and I finished up for the night.
I logged with having completed every achievement of the holiday except the ridiculous candy. I intend to log in tomorrow every hour to at least try for it then while I’m doing my house work.
