Because on August 19th, Alex and I are attending our first Larping day!!!

I'm an alchemist. Human, unfortunately. I wanted to be a Moon Elf, but its my first time Larping, and I need to get to grips with the rules before I pile racial traits etc on top of them.

I've learned that being true to myself is the most important thing I can be. And telling the people I love how I feel doesn't result in bad things happening.

I was so happy this morning not to be woken up by a police siren, a car backfiring, or some random yelling at the top of his or her inevitably chav voice. Instead, I was woken by birdsong and rustling leaves. Aaaahhhh ( Read more... )
