Laser tag/curry, Newdawn, crazy dreams and more.

So this weekend has been full of running around and other fun things, though Friday was a bit of a fuck up becuase things went wrong, I did help John fix a fence for a few hours Friday evening which was nice, my legs really hurt from the crouching and my wrists caned after alot of screwing and unscrewing. They have forgiven me so far atleast so thats a plus, it is not nice having to type when your wrists want to give up and die.

Saturday we went back to the place with the fence as John works for the lady there on occasion. This time around we were starting to build sides to this gazebo she has in her garden, after we got all the wood and measured it all up ect we started on the frame for the 3ft high fence that was going to go around the sides of this gazebo, so we started with the side that was going to be there all the time instead of one side that needs to be able to be taken away and one that needs a gate. So we build these two half frames, I mainly did alot of holding as when I was sawing a few fence panels in half I kinda almost fucked them up so I stopped doing that and let John handle the saw. When fixing the frames to the gazebo itself we found that it wasnt built square so we made a few adjustments and it was fine then. It then took us an hour or so to fix the panels on to the frame. By this time I has spent most of the afternoon on my knees so whenever I had to get up or kneel again my knees were like NOOO. So when we finished we made a mad dash home, I emptied the car of FnH stuff and put all the New Dawn stuff in there, I then changed in to leggings and shorts because the backs of my knees were on fire from my jeans rubbing against them all the time, I then printed out the directions to Battlestorm HQ, whilst John is showering and changing. We are then late to BSHQ because the directions were crap. We had to go in to a horrible looking pub to ask for directions, I went in becuase they would probably be nicer to me than they would be to John, which was correct. We finally got there, we were put on a team with Dave C, Bill, Charlie and Bill's sis Ellie. During one of the games we were defending our base and I was the only one left so I scouted one side and got closest to the other base to see how many were there, I think only Nikki and Leah were left, I went back, waited for a while then scouted the other side where about halfway down the one side I found a Ross so I moved backwards, I think I caught my arm on the scenery and hightailed it back to base where I waited again for about five minutes before the mission ended in a draw.  The free for alls were the most fun, and I think on the last team death match I may have pinned Charlie and John down with friendly fire, though oddly my pack didn't tell me I was friendly firing. In the briefing room Phil noticed I was bleeding, I had scraped my elbow I didn't notice at all. THe curry at the curry house was amazing, we were in an executive lounge so it was practically a living room with a large table. I feel kinda guilty for not eating all my Korma and my Naan bread, it was so filling and the shish kebabs were also kinda huge. We then went to Bill and Charlies to crash and didn't get to sleep until about 3 after watching rapey dolphins.....and monkey rape frog....don't ask.

Sunday, at New Dawn where a good 90% of us were tired or aching most of us had tigh pain from BSHQ. Were for the first mission we played slime fish and I got to play with flour, then scalpers. Our mission was to recon an area where they had previously been. Bills charater stepped/kicked away a grenade, so myself and Leah's medic had to heal it up as best we could. We then fought a few things and blew a few people up the gun that Dan was using didn't work, but when the zombies came he managed to kill two of them atleast.  We got to the place we needed to go and decided to go home. It was a fun day all round.

My freakishly odd dream, I obviously can't remember it all now but I can remember snippits. I was getting my hair cut. Then I had Peat gauging where my fringe was going to be by drilling in to my skull, anf screwing it up when he got to the left side where he went through my skull, which I think I complianed about becasue it really hurt ect. So yeah I'm not letting him near me with a drill anytime soon :P. I think this might have been related to when I was drilling batons and I was going all the way thru when I wasn't supposed to. Though I don't where my skull, a fringe and Peat come in to this but hey. I do also remember having a dream that involved strangling Jim Moriarty.

It's my birthday in five days. On my birthday I will be travelling to Cannock to LRP, so hopefully my character won't die on my birthday, then on Sunday we will be going to Guilford where again I do hope I don't die. So I can see this being another weekend where I am going to be knacked afterwards.

You took me to the Lion's Den.

I can never really understand that line after ^ that one. Becuase in all the videos of Dry the River Lion's Den it's usually screamed incoherently. Watching a violinist trying to 'rock out' is just so sweet and so funny at the same time because you can't really do that with a violin, a cello maybe.

Other than having DtR practically on repeat ( I don't even have thier album yet), it's been a really good weekend.  Saturday was Einherday, which a special day for the Einherjar where they went  back to Llaminisu to find thier village. It was an all day event so we monstered/played all day. So they headed towards the mountains, which has an ice giant under it, and the ice giant rolled over in its sleep becuase of someting that gave it bad dreams. This caused the paths to break and the village to go from one side of the mountain to the other, so Gunnar convinced the Einherjar people that they were dead and in hell. For the Einherjar the could not just walk to the normal paths becuase there weren't any. So they had to travel through the saga's to get to thier people. so that invovled alot of big nasties. Some of them were really wierd and as they were travelling through time there were a few points in which they couldnt interfere becuase it would either fuck time up and they wouldn't get back to the now or no one was actually around to see it so nothing could be interacted with or they couldnt kill certain things until the actual hero showed up. Then they met weird twisted versions of adventurers. So there was a Knight commander, Sir Marcus, Emilia, Llewis Marw (who no one recognised) vau, Rac, (whatever marcus was playing) and a Valvossa. So the evil ones of us died, people were really happy to get the chance to fight the KC and Vau. I didn't get a chance to fight becasue I mage cheated! Jace entangled me in my robes and then killed me. So they waited for me to die, when I was finally dead (for the thrid time!) so Fith did a flangy ritual where he connected out skiens...(pathways) then I was laid to rest by the Swan. So yeah that's me and alot of people happy. When they made it to the village they made thier people believe themselves to be alive. Which of course they did. Then they were met with Gunnar and all the major NPC's they had met earlier. So they got to have a hardish fight. And they all lived happily ever after whilst getting drunk in the meadhall. Getting drunk was fun, everyone likes drunk me :)

Sunday was also awesome, I must have slept so much I didn't notice the hangover but alot of people made fun of the fact I was hungover but I was happy about it. I got to see people from Guilford that I haven't seen in a while. And just becuase Stinky Pete has been on TV doesn't mean he can be mean to a hungover tired me. Olly was also mean to me but he's allowed as he's the LO and in charge. Atleast on monstering I got to have a nap. And I wore Johns super heavy chain as I was the big bad girl who got mobbed, I might ave moved more if I wasnt so heavy, and I would have been more of a bitch if I wasnt tired and dehydrated. I think I am geeting more used to my chain, I had to run three times and it didn't totally kill me in the end, thank you adreniline.

So I am still knackered today. So I have sold alchemy, and sold out in like 2 hours. Clearly I have good prices for my potions.

My mothers coming up tomorrow, I have to think of things to do. Should be fun.

Yes I know this was another long one. But if I blogged to much I would have nothing to say.

So great weekend and I great start to April.

Oh god oh god it's almost April.

I know that it shouldn't astonish me when the months move faster than most old people. I think April/ beginning of May is going to be really busy, for me atleast. I mean nothing is really gonna happen during the week days, I mean my life isnt that interesting.

Before I talk about that showery month that is April, I wanna say I miss the laptop, on friday it broke, when it was plugged in it wouldn't charge, it wouldnt register that it was plugged in, this all happened after JOhns friend Karl turned it upside down to look at the model and when i went to plug it back in it wouldnt work so ofc I blame him, even though it could have happened any time, but he/his dad is fixing it, but apparently it takes 4 hours to get to the bit that needs fixing. So I'll probably, hopefully get it back tomorrow/ really late this evening.
On another note I hate it when the clocks go back/forward it screws with the whole sleep thing becuase last nigth I went to bed at the ususal time of 11 and my brain was like "WTF its only 10 why are you trying to sleep your not sleepy. "

I guess I am going to count the 31st of MArch as the beginning of all this. It's a LRP day with BC branch wheere a group of players called the Einherjar are going to go to their home land and I think they are gonna go find thier people who they thought were dead. I don't know much else about this day as I am going to be monstering it all day. So that will be fun and tiring as hell. Then the day after is Bristol which will also be a good day, it will also be the 1st of April which might mean there might be a little silliness but most of the refs at Bristol are sorta serious and they can sometimes go out to kill everyone and everything thing in exsistance, I'm kidding their all lovely (sidebar: I want the laptop back I hate this keyboard), I hope its warm but not too warm as I will bake and die if I have to wear my padding as it's made from fur, on saturday I got to wear a gorget gambason which keeps the chain off the shoulders, it was heavenly and it didnt bake me to death so Thank you Hamish twas useful. I am hoping that my gambason isnt as warm as my fur else I will be a cooked turkey, but a comfortable cooked turkey. I'd ask Peat how warm is gets in his but his is much much thicker than mine, and he doesnt need to wear his to protect himself from heavy chain as he doesn't wear chain....I think he would just crumple :P I'm hopefully kidding...I don't have an easy time with it but it's worth the pain, oh how I love butchers chain.

The next week....Is a BC weekend, and we will be economising this trip, so it means having very little food as we will have to feed the car, and I am not going to Taunton as it would be far to expensive, I think we would be able to pay for the fuel down there and back and that would be it, so no eating or drinking and thats no fun so I am going for the more money easy option as it's an hours drive compared to an almost 2 hour drive.  On the sunday we probably won't be doing anything, as we will be saving as the first week of April is when Johns boss isnt working so John misses out on £300. It would be nice to go to Guilford but there might be a slight chance of deadness, which is bad. Oh I also have a In Character wedding to orginise, not mine, it's Dame Emilia's wedding to Kal, they're going to get married at Springfest so I have loads a time....:S I'm sure it will be fine. Though I think Amelia's getting sick of all this love thats around. (God metal mantle peices to the back of the skulls really hurt)

The next weekend is a little fuzzy, becuase for there is a 0.01% that I might be going to a concert in London. The other 99.9% is that we will be New DAwning and that Bath.(we just found a big bee in the bathroom and now I feel all weird as I do when I find bugs I hate, I just get scratchy.)

The weekend after that is my 20th Birthday so I will be going to BC in Cannock so I will be with my friends, again I wanna go to Guilford afterwards but thats a long way to drive. So that will be a great weekend.

The weekend after that is a mystery on the LRP front. But I will be  going to see the Avengers! so yee...

Then after that it's Springfest!! Where there will be epicness and fun and wine and I get to see all my friends and maybe celebrate my birthday in a "*hug* happy bithday" Kinda way with friends that I wouldnt have seen on the birthday weekend. So yeah lots and lots of fun and froth to be had and I will be so sad when its all over.

The weekend, Dry the River and everything else in between.

So as I wanted its Friday, they day before the weekend and the day before the BC special and banquet, which I am really excited about but like 10% of me is nervous becuase there is this beg ritual and it could go wrong and I have a componant which is the last in existance and if we mess it up there is no second try. (Ahh train of thought just came flying off the tracks) Where was I. Oh  yeah and I think the other mission is basically getting two weystones back in thier rightful place and the CC will be running something in there to occupy the Demonologists in the party....y'know tea with the emporer and all that jazz :D. And I am nervous about the banquet becuase even though my skirt is short I will be wearing shorts and its not like i will be showing off massive amounts of breast, even if I could I probably wouldn't. My character has also been asked to dance and I stupidly said yes (I think I talked about this in the last blog) but I am basically as graceful and co ordinated as a roller skating giraffe....But I should be slightly drunk so I wont be as embarressed, not until I remember it all the day after. (Y) So yeah I get to see my friends and have lots of fun and good food and good RPing fun. Also just as a side note the CC needs to stop worrying....as Eli said on facespace....Man up Carrington! :) And we mean this in the nicest way possible sweety.

Next topic is about a small(now big) London based folk/rock band called Dry the River which through twitter and my suseptability to watch the things my friends post I watched Chambers and Valves and I thought it was amazing.(and now we rejoin you on Sunday*) There is a skeleton in the video that is played by the lead Peter, and he kinda looks like the Peat I know when he was painted up as a zommer....I guess thier only similarities are they looks kinda the same when really pale and they're both really skinny and tall, oh and attractive as I found out when I saw then without thier C&V make up on, they're all attractive young men....Scott has an impressive beard... I have also started listening to all thier other songs and I really want thier album so I will ask for it for my birthday. Alot of thier videos are acoustic/live sets so atleast I know they'll sound good live if I ever go to another concert ever again.

So yes the weekend....(Saturday) It was great I really loved saturday, the mission was amazing even though I have hurt myself, it was the chainmail and a heavy leather back pack and wearing that until like half three in the afternoon....so so owie. So I wussed out of monstering and took pictures. I just loved seeing all my friends, most of the country bar the actual branch were there before the BC lot which was good. When it was time for 'lunch' I had a good chat with Peat about Dry the River as I made him a cuppa outta my thermas, which by the way, Peat if it tasted like socky tea I apologies, it was the thermas not the tea, but you were very polite in drinking it all so thanks. mine however tasted like sock as I was drinking from the thermas cup but by the time it was 3:30 I didnt care really. He also managed to pause our chat to go off with Olly and Jamie to talk about nasty evil things that could see but didn't hear as the more tired I get the more deaf I get apparently, as proved in the banquet when I couldn't hear much of anything, though when it was Peat he's just naturally quiet and the others I was sat with (Olly, Nile, Tom and Charlie) becuase the room was loud...mostly bc of derians underwear which was an eye sore and a half. Oh I will have to think of some puns to throw around the table if I get to sit with the guys again... By the end of the banquet I was in fits of laughter, there was this fertility idol that I think was a prop that Peat used in his little side dish mission and its just the most ugly thing and we hid it in a wall of paper but then he would pick it yp and make it do stupid things and I almost cried laughing, Olly and Jebbo were not making it any better. Then we had to leave so that sucked. But I did get lots of hugs and that made me feel better about the impending suck becuase it was alot of awesome. Not to offend my life but I don't think that level of awesome will be achieved again until Springfest which isnt until May :( Booo.

So this was long so I will love you and leaf you all as the different branches of the preverbial family tree that you are. Yes I know I'm awful with puns.

*I started writing on friday and got interupted by DnD so I have complied random thoughrt strings and made a pretty line....

Oh another thing, yes I did wear silly shoes and my feet did hurt.. but it's the back that hurts today so the silly but really really nice shoes win! However I will be wearing sensible shoes to Springfest.
 I was going to say something else but the giant squid of fneh has walked off with brain. 

It's March....already

So its the first week in March, so it's inching towards my birthday in April....I'll be 20....god...

It's been a fun weekend. Well I say weekend I mean Sunday....I don't know what I did Saturday I think I blanked it like I do most days. OH! I started 750 words on 750words.com. You write a minimum of 750 words per day on anything, its unfiltered and stuff, but no one can read it which is great (I think).

Sunday at Bristol was fun, I got to play a national plot monster....in a circus tent of a dress. That was fun to play, though for something that is Vleyborian and doesnt like fighters the fighters were crowding me alot.
There was also an almost tpk....but thats all that will be said as I don't know the full extent of the events that happened but I am sure that in due time everything will sort itself out and most of the society will hear about it one way or the other.
My mission was fun, I finally got to adventure with my master which was fun, we spent most of the the mission either talking about the coming weekend or purging things.
Being an alchemist is so fun, you get so many role playing oppourtunities. And most of the guild are really great people. I also get to tell three master alchemists what to do at  the weekend becuase I have the plot for what we are doing on the BC banquet special. The refs made some pretty cool physreps. My character is having the time of her life, she has some really great friends. She gets rose flavoured alchemy and asked to dance, I don't dance well thats a lie, I danced at both proms but that was group dancing, no one noticed you, this will be proper boy/girl dancing where people will be dancing and other people might be watching....So I have managed to hopefully get others to dance with me so I don't draw attention to me awful skills when it comes to dance. Atleast the person I am dancing with can dance so bonus.
 I will also have to remembet that in a corset I cannot laugh that much/that hard as corsets don't allow you to breath. I am currently swooning over a corset http://www.corsets-uk.com/fashion/boned-corset/a3034-green.html  It's so pretty even though its not the shade or colour that I usually wear. But it is cheaper than the steel boned one I fell in love with which was like £60. So I might ask for this one and wear it to the banquet at springfest. I don't quiet know what is going on but yay Springfest. I get to see my friends and have fun all weekend and celebrate my birthday a second time possibly.....I will also have a drink for my big brother becuase he will be 29 on the 4th. It's a little odd that I can see him as 29 but the people I know that are of that age or just abouts, I keep thinking theyre like 25, which is great for them....Damn I have to join the 20's club....

I've just realised this 'red' nail polish named Amaretto is actually kinda pink, but hey no ones going to be looking at me nails on banquet day. Though the funny thing is they're chip restistant....yeah right... I also need to buy some cheap hairspray...not to spray on my hair but to spray on my wrist...it's to make sure the tattoo I have IC stays there.

Almost 1000

Just need seven more views!


So where to start, well today's been slow as usual. It's housework day to I have done the housework...so dull but needs must. I have also been painting a dark elf sorceress, I should also be getting a Gladriel model aswell to paint, that should be fun. I bought a book on Saturday, P.C Cast's Goddess of Legend. I have finished it already...It was only  300 pages but it was really good. It is about a women who gates taken from the modern world by the lady of the lake and taken to Camelot to make the king happy and save Merlin. I may have to invest in the rest of the series if they grab my attention like this one did.

This weekend is going to be fun, as I have BC, then I shall be going  to a friends to celebrate thier birthday, then Derby.

 Only two and a bit weeks til the Banquet. I don't know why I am worried about my outfit, yes I may be wearing a short skirt but no one will see anything as the under skirt has shorts. I will try and not do what I did last time and surround myself with men. I might spend some time with the people I have been hanging out with in character in Netherthong, my character seems to be good at that. 

This is a short one this time. My mind is not buzzing like it usually when I write these.

I have things to do and to ponder.

Kit fair.

So this weekend has been eventful.
On saturday I went to Kit Fair in Bristol with Tom (Cara's Boyfriend) so I went to Tom and Cara's house with John so he could take Cara to BC and Tom take me to kit fair. So I sat around their house for a while, so I watched TV, Charmed it a lot cheesier than I remember it. There was also tea and a bacon sandwhich.
So Kit fair was amazing. At first I just looked around a bit saying hello to the random other FnHers that were there. NewDawn2175LRP were there, they had cake, the icing was basically green sugary butter but they tasted so good. (I am thinking of joining ;) ) I also got a hug from Dave in his crazy doctor outfit....I thought I killed him...and y'know caved in his chest (well Marcus did that) and took out his tube thingy that was making the dead man walk around)  New dawn as I have said on many occasions is great. Not everyone likes futuristic LRP, I didn't think I would but I really like it now, I get to do some really cool stuff as a Medic, the sciency classes are awesome if you are not a big fan of combat. Though I am thinking of spending a few req points on a shot gun, they come in handy. It's fun and I urge lots of people to try it atleast once, if the missions don't kill you the interregations might :P

I then ran off in to the city for a bit. Where I found alot of dissapointment in the way of clothing. The only thing I bought were a pair of suede gloves, a large cup of tea fom starbucks and a cinnomen swirl from SB's. Apparently the fashion for this year are leggings that looks like christmas jumpers. Peach, other pastel colours. There was this blue blazer with orange lapels and patches on the elbows that looked like it had been vomited from the 70's. Please leave the past where it is please! Make something original. The only good thing about cabot (apart from the food) is the giant ferris wheel that is in one of the city sqares in cabot. It's taller than cabot itself (almost).
Back at kit fair, I saw a few of my friends was glad to see them. The combonation of caffiene and friends makes me a happy Poppy. Though I was a little dissapointed to not see a couple of friends. I bought some shinies from this American selling some very nice rings, broaches and necklaces. After like 10 minutes of ummming and ahhing, I bought a ring with a blue gemstone, a broach with a white gem and a scarf broach that you stick the scarf through with six different colours. The seller gave me a coin with a boar on one side and a ship and a comet on the other side. After wondering around for a couple more hours we went home, watched the rest of Repo! and some of V for Vendetta.  ordered some very nice chinese when John and Cara got home. I tried to eat it with chopsticks but rice and chopsticks don't really mix.

Sunday was just as good, I went there with John. We saw the friends that had not been there on the saturday (bc theey were being lame at BC) I bought a shirt from HAL (got £5 off) it'v very nice. And a gambesom that fits me! from Primal forge I am very happy, now I won't see niether til April, but I have asked that I can wear the shirt to the banquet in march.

I am going to have a quiet week until iget to Thursday when I will be going back in to Bristol to meet with my mother, my two younger brothers and my unce for a trip to @bristol.

I am going to stop writing as this is getting long and I want to watch some have I got news for you and eat a pizza.
