I used a mic today.

I know! Wild!

And nothing happened. Except that some totally random guy sent me a friends request some time after I had used the mic for the first time, but I'm kinda hoping it's completely unrelated. It could be, but I think he was in my team when I spoke up at one point to inform people of my teleporter. (He sent the friends request during the next map, and he wasn't in the same team then).
He was kinda nice, though, I asked if there were any takers for my über in Dustbowl Stage Two and he was like I'll take it, and we capped the first point.
I just don't know if I should friend him back, because whoooa kinda creepy. Then again it would be kinda rude to ignore him, because I kept following him around in Dustbowl because he was a good Soldier and didn't waste my übers completely, damn it.

But anywho, I was glad to notice that no one pulled any strange shit when they heard a girl voice, so yay (I might be a bit prejudiced, but I've heard my share of horror stories about basement-dwelling lifeless gamer nerds... plus I don't ever wanna hear anyone go "Ha ha, a girl, no wonder you suck!"). I'd rather not make a big deal out of my gender (I like being "one of the guys" on default), but sacrifices must be made, and I want to be able to communicate with my team (and I hate typing).

Now if I only could be less nervous when talking and not stutter like some idiot...

Also! Great news!

HEAD OF THE CLASS GET!

I was just missing Spy! Had to endure a full fifteen minutes of utter humiliation in Granary, but getting the achievement was totally worth it. And I'd still like to play more as a Spy, I'm just SO. BAD. at it. Yeah I got a few lucky backstabs, but somehow everyone just sees right through me. Like the enemy Spy who backstabbed me when I was disguised. Granted, he was a pretty good Spy, whereas I'm... not.
And I was feeling really bad at some point when people started going "WE NEED MEDICS COME ON!" and we were getting slaughtered (but hey, we managed to hold them off the last point!) and I knew I wasn't contributing anything to the team and I was almost about to change classes, but... I'm sorry, team. I'm never doing that again.

Also tried to play Engineer a bit differently and tried moving my buildings often, rather than camp just one spot. Works really well and keeps enemies on their toes because they can never know behind which corner the sentry is this time. Should experiment more.
