I figure the best place to start is the day that the stupid fire elemental burned up my journal. I remember it like it was yesterday. Because it was. Thursday.
John Turner and I were taking a bit of a coffee break. We both work around the Ironforge bank and Auction House area, which means we're always tits deep in heroes and idiots. So we take a lot of breaks. Usually breaks involving whiskey. Anyways, John and I were hiding in the Stonefire Tavern chatting about when the next Brew of the Month Club delivery was expected then all of a sudden we hear this banshee screaming. Not a real banshee! It was Gwenna Firebrew screaming her lungs out. We all ran to the door, and that's when we saw the damn fire elemental.
I'm a bit ashamed to tell this next part, but papa didn't raise no fibber. I screamed like an effeminate gnome priest and ran. I had never screamed so loud, or shrilly, in my life. Granted, I've also never been so afraid in all my life neither. Now that I mention it though, it sort of sounded like John screaming. Hmm. Anyways, we both screamed and ran. Apparently in my haste to not tinkle in my new knickers, my journal came out of my pocket. I heard it hit the floor and turned around just in time to see it go up in flames.
As you probably read in my introduction, an adventurer came along and killed the elemental and life went on as usual. Except now I write my journal into this gadget box while Tinkmaster stares at me. Creepy li'l man. Anyhow, if you're around Ironforge stop by and say hey. I'll have plenty of fresh bread at great prices!
Keep yer feet on the ground!
