Legendary.

I am the single most indecisive person I know.  I blame it on my Libra stars: a balance-seeker through and through, I will weigh not only every available option, but every conceivable variation of every available option before commiting myself to one. 

... And yet when we learned that the next legendary would be a healing mace, there was never any doubt in my mind as to who should receive it.  There were no alternatives to consider; no cosmic scales to tinker with until they tipped perfectly even. 

For once, my inner October was perfectly and confidently decisive.  

Although Surreality has a strong healing core and six excellent healers — each worthy of the honor for vastly different reasons — only one of them has been with the guild from the very beginning: from that first tentative foray into Karazhan, when he agreed to heal our weeknight raid in spite of a living a full hour ahead of server time and and four hours ahead of the rest of his team.  (He cat-napped after work and set his alarm for 2 AM in order to honor that commitment, but honor it he did!)

For over two years, he has been a constant presence in and invaluable asset to the guild: as an officer, as our healing lead, and as a friend. 

This is, after all, the man who operates on the "Happiness Principle" and will pass upgrades or vanity items to anyone he thinks will derive more happiness from them than he will. 

This is also the man who volunteers to heal instances and raids for the guild's entire host of alts, long after they've ceased to be of any personal value to him — and then sits out those he does need simply so others can experience them.  (And unlike me, he doesn't mope about it for a week afterwards.  >.>)

He herds cats. 

He accompanies our raid leader into cleared instance ID's to fine-tune strategy and positioning. 

He donates hours of his time herbing and fishing to keep the guild bank stocked with flasks and potions for those long progression nights. 

He has spent many a night consoling me through guild drama, boy drama, family drama and every other kind of drama: offering support and a fresh perspective — and occasionally playing Devil's Advocate — when they are most needed.

I know they're only pixels, Annah, but they carry the respect and gratitude of the guild with them.  Congratulations on Val'anyr.  No one deserves it more.
