One year ago I created my World of Warcraft account.
The first few levels were spent wandering around without a guild.
I'd already met Elsheindra via a trial run of the game before.
We met outside of the bank in Stormwind, because I liked the dress she was wearing, a Blue Dress 'Made By Zim' I do believe it was.
After a while of being in contact via whispers to Elsheindra, it was suggested that I apply to join the guild. So I tentatively headed off to the website to fill in my application...
I was really nervous about my application, I really wasn't sure about what I should have put down on it.
It came around to joining the guild 
I was contacted in game by the lesser spotted Zim, he helped me with some quests in and around Redridge. I joined the Guild I'm not sure when exactly (but I'm sure that Elsh has a record somewhere) and was assigned my mentor, Sonarakbadak. I remember various /bonk silliness as he helped me travel across the world.
There was also the time shortly (and I mean less than a week) after Valetta had gotten her epic mount that she had to walk me down to Booty Bay. Err Sorry for that 
Any way, here I am a year later.
I've made some really good friends in the past year, and now I'm an Officer too! I'd never had thought!
Joining The One was definitly the best decision I'd made last year!
I guess in a way it's Kariandra's Birthday today.
