Can it be? The Daily Frostwolf is Turning 3!

What better way to celebrate my blog's birthday than with my favourite thing - a rhyme!



The sun was shining o'er the Vale
Shining with all his might
Yet rain falls oft in the Valley
Where veggies grow at night
And Brawlers gather far and wide
To get into a fight.

So many rares and hidden things
Are found in this new land.
So many things to do and see!
Much more than I had planned.
The vistas and the scenery
So very, very grand.

Why, has it only been a year
I celebrated 2?
With 40,000 pageviews then
How boggled if I knew
That twice and thrice more pageviews now
Could this be really true?

What plans have I got for this year
With blog and with this game
I guess I will just continue
And write more of the same.
More Navispams, more raiding notes
More times when I've been lame.

"The time has come," Navimie said
"To talk of many things:
Of Frostwolves and communities
Of podcasts and streamings
Blog Azeroth and Shared Topics
And comps of transmoggings."

How should I commemorate
My little blog's birthday?
Last year I made some silly gifts
Like puzzles you can play.
Perhaps I'll make it easier
And do a giveaway.

So for all my friends and readers
I'll write a verse or two
But randomly from comments left
There'll be some lucky few
Who'll get a little something more
All shiny bright and new.
I may be swamped because I'll get
Well wishes by the tonne.
My readers all should get something
I do it all for fun
And this is scarcely odd because
I treasure every one.

I thank you all for reading me,
The comments that you send.
I thank you for the gifts you gave.
For all the time you spend
Listening, playing, PvP
Thank you for being my friend!


Yes, it's true!  I am being a lazy cow this year and only writing poems - no puzzles this year!  However, I am giving away 3 prepaid game cards selected randomly from comments on this post (my daughter will pick the names out of the proverbial hat).  Why gamecards?  Because most people have every pet that I could possibly give away, same goes for mounts, but everyone could use a gamecard!

So if you don't mind, please don't retweet this on Twitter - as I want my friends and readers to be the recipients not a random person who visits me for the first time!  As JD and Arvash have shown me, multiple times, the gift is in the giving. And if you're a blog lurker, now's the time to come out and maybe see if you can win a little prize as a thanks!

Comments will be closed in in one week, and I'll announce the recipients then. Good luck and no, you can't use your Elder Charm of Good Fortune here!

  1. Yay, more wonderful Navimie poetry! It's been awhile since we've had any of that, and I've missed it :)

    Happy happy blogiversary, dear!

  2. Goodness, three years already? A happy blogaversary to you!

    (I wouldn't use my Elder Charms even if I could - I'd probably just get 28 gold, 50 silver. Like usual. Grumble. ;))

  3. I've been reading your blog for only about a year now. It's one of the first I stumbled upon when I started seeking out blogs to read, and it's certainly served as a 'gateway blog' for me, (I'm so sorry for the comparison, but I couldn't think of a better one!) as now I'm reading so many others. Yours remains to be one of my favorites and I'm always happy to see a new post from you.

    This is my first comment as I tend to be a lurker, but you should know that I find all of your posts inspirational and helpful. Even the ones you might not expect.

    TL;DR: I LOVE YOUR BLOG. Happy Blogiversary, Navimie!

    (Sorry for the delete, apparently I have no idea what I'm doing...)

      I hope I can continue to inspire you and we can chat on the blog from time to time :) Shoot me an email later so I can email you if you're the luckydo! :D

  5. Happy Blogday Navi! I started laughing when I realized it was Lewis Carroll. I felt like I've been Jabberwocked and fell though a looking glass XD. Anyway, hope you'll continue to live in interesting times.

    1. Ty Tyledres :) I may have decimated the poem a little bit >< but maybe I should make that the theme of my poetry gifts! Lewis Carroll, that is, not decimating famous poems :P

  13. "I weep for you," Kallixta said:
    "I deeply sympathize."
    With sobs and tears she sorted out
    Posts of the largest size,
    Holding her potential scribbles
    Before her streaming eyes.

    "It was so kind of you to rhyme!
    And you are very nice!"
    Yet Aldonza said nothing but
    "Please put our name on ice:
    I wish you were not quite so deaf--
    I've had to ask you twice!"

  17. I've been to cities that never close down,
    From Stormwind to Orgrimmar and old Ironforge town,
    But no matter how far or how wide I roam,
    I still call Azeroth home.

    (Sorry, plagarism is about as close to poetry as I can get - The Aussies will get the reference :) )

    Happy Blog-irthday, Navi!

  20. I've been a lurker ever since BBB introduced me to you last year - you're on my blog feed .. one of only 3 and I love your posts :-) You do kinda similar stuff to me, and when you're not, you're inspiring me to do so. I hardly touched pet battles until you started posting about them .. now I'm mildly addicted :P

  31. Happy Blog-day Navi :D 3 years is a huge achievement, congratulations. I've only been following for a few months and you've definitely acted as a gateway blogger for me too - by providing interesting, and entertaining content, being accessible and aproachable (I'm pretty shy and don't normally comment ever, much less with the frequency I do here) and links to other great blogs. You've really helped introduce me to the blog community. Thank you, and here's to 3 more years :)
