'Strommin'
Well, after about a year without LARP, mainly due to Open University commitments, I'm in the process of packing to go to my first Maelstrom event of the year.
This is a point of "yey" generally, but I'm really still on a huge "booo!" at the minute (more expressive than the term "downer" yes?) because IN the year that I haven't LARPed, I put on 2 stone due to tablets the doctor put me on. I have lost one stone, but that apparently still equates to 2" on my tummy (waist) which means that none of my lovely corset-type tops fit me at all! I hadn't actually equated it to size as I still felt mostly in proportion (though I hardly seem to have put any size on my hips or boobs!)
So... I'm currently sitting in waiting for the post before I can set off and get food and water and stuff so that HOPEFULLY (if RM have done their job right) I'll get two new corsets that SHOULD fit me... I held up one of my other corsets to see if it was worth trying on and was gutted that it was SO small! :( I knew it was unlikely to fit me, but I didn't realise quite how badly it didn't fit me! Even the dress I bought for the "wedding", which was big for me when I got it is too small! /cry
Think I'm going to have to do some serious healthy eating and excerise when I get back, with an aim to get back into my other corset... Hey, I can start the excercise bit when I'm there! :P
HOPE they arrive otherwise I'm going to be squeezed into my emergency *if I don't breathe it fits - honestly* top and won't enjoy the event at all... At least I can come home at any point if it does all go horribly wrong...
