We will fuck your shit up
Or something. I don't know. Today has been a day of painkillers and laundry. That is just how rock and roll I am.
Apparently when I go camping I become some kind of bug magnet. At Faded Glory it was the earwigs, and at Odyssey it was the spiders in the tent (and the earwigs that had survived). It just reinforces the fact that I fucking hate tents.
I did go to Odyssey. Initially I was just going to drop Dave off (I woke up on thursday in one of the foulest moods I've been in for a while) but then I actually met people, and everyone was lovely, and so I stayed. What kit I had hastily thrown together was supplemented by several different sets of borrowed armour and weapons, and I had an amazing time.
It did however lead to some truly horrific sunburn. I've reached the point where my arms, legs and face don't really burn anymore, they have enough sun exposure that I'm normally fine. However, the tunic I'd made had a bit of a weird (read: fucked) neckline, and I had to wear it low at the back to avoid flashing everyone, which means that most of my upper back is now bright red. Including parts of the lizards. But not the nice cross where the straps for one of the sets of armour sat. Needless to say I've been piling on the aftersun and not leaning back against things.
Anyway, thankfully my body decided to hold together and hold off on various hilarities until the weekend was over, but today I have suffered. I've also done two loads of clothes washing, washed both my big blankets (which each had to go in separately) and my sleeping bag (which is still wet, and currently dripping over the kitchen floor).
Tomorrow I need to hope that the sleeping bag is dry, finish arguing with the tent (dad and I put it up in the garden to remove the bugs/their remains) and then take stuff to the storage locker (although that might have to wait until wednesday, as I need a hand taking the tent down). I also need to sort out some money things, tidy my room up a bit and maybe finish my book (Kay bought me a cool lizardy bookmark that's all 3D and lizardy, because I like lizards and I like books (I did point out that at least it's a relatively cheap and harmless addiction)).
Oh yeah, and write an adventure for this weekend. Oops.
But for now, sleep. On my front so as to not aggravate this sunburn any more.
