I had a longer, much more exciting post all written out with pictures and links and everything but Blogger hates me and deleted it. Therefore I will share a WoW-related anecdote:
Last night I dreamt of WoW. I dreamt I fought a very angry giant harpie thingie alongside my sister (who doesn't play) while the dots of my two other party members (my mom and dad, it turns out, who also don't play) wandered obliviously away from the battle. For some reason my sister and I couldn't deal the death blow on our own and I was very angry at my parents for losing me all that fine XP. So I gave up and was going to hearth but I couldn't find my hearthstone. Apparently I had put it on a t-shirt and had forgotten to wear that shirt today. Now I was stranded.
"Wait--" my sister said, "I heard that you can type /home in the game and it'll send you back to a town!" It sounded a little strange but I thought, why not, and typed it. My sister was going to hearth too but she'd made some sandwiches on the other side of a cave we'd emerged from and had to go back for them. Fair enough. I typed /home and was sent to some fictional ghost town my subconscious mind interpreted as being in one of the Plaguelands. It was inhabited byJapanese ghosts and ghouls, all very friendly, and a few nuns from my Catholic high school. One of the nuns w as a vendor, who sold me all manner of tasty snack foods such as chicken strips and nachos. I thought, "Awesome, I should pop by Trevor's work (the Olive Garden) and share some of these with him!" For some reason it clicked in my dream-mind that the Olive Garden was in Menethil, which for some reason was a Gryphon-hop away. You heard me, the Olive Garden is in Menethil. How cool would that be? So long story short I resolved to pop in and deliver delicious snackfoods unto my beloved.
I drifted into consciousness at quarter till eleven with a strong feeling that I should get up and take the snacks to Trevor at work. I was wholly disappointed when I came to my senses and realized that there were no chicken strips or nachos and that it had all been a dream.

I've had dreams like that before. Back in 8th grade when I was working on the History Project From Hell(tm) and playing nothing but Ocarina of Time to unwind, I dreamed that I was Link, running around Hyrule Field, killing monsters and trying to find the cure for polio.
I also once dreamed that my school library had free mozarella cheese sticks in the reference section and woke up really mad that I hadn't actually eaten them.
I have had two dreams about WoW, but I took it as a sign to cut back on my play time. Considering how busy you've been, though, I think it's not so much an "agh, I've done nothing but play WoW!" as a "Good Lord, Deliver unto me a break!"
