I went to LARP and I liked it...

I went to the South Carolina SOLAR event this past weekend. I had a ton of fun and I learned more than I expected. Not only did I learn about the game, rules, etc., but I also learned things about myself.

1. I learned that I have an easier time getting into character in a LARP situation than tabletop.

I am hoping that I can take that experience and re-apply it to the tabletop. Also, I had little trouble sleeping in-character...which was surprising for me. Is this typical for folks, or am I crazy? (Apparently, as I started drifting into sleep Sunday and Monday nights, I was simultaneously in and out of character, too...started talking in my sleep asking, as my character, if I did something wrong.)

2. I learned that stupid hurts.

I watched way too much conflict and near-deaths resulting from cases of the dumb.

Bentos!

In addition to everything else I've been up to, I decided to start doing Bento Boxes for lunch. I save about $6/day doing it, and they're delicious and healthy (and normally pretty, unlike today's).

In other news, I've been up to the following:

• I'm officially a PressGanger for Privateer Press (YAY)
• I've started losing weight (down 13lbs from February, not much loss but it's decent) using mostly diet and exercise, added Alli to see if it'll work
• I'm painting Epic Thagrosh for one of the regulars at GameTheory. He's getting prettier and prettier.
• I bought my wedding dress, and now I'm just waiting till my shoes come in to have it shipped here
