I never thought I would say this, but ahh! Glorious wind and rain!
I swear... I have sweated at least twice my bodymass over the last two weeks. Its not just the heat, wellington is so humid that the sweat doesnt do a great deal. The rain and wind have reminded me exactly how much I love cold weather (at least so long as there is a heater and a hot shower nearby. ;) )
KapCon rocked! I enjoyed all of it. There wasnt a single game I didnt enjoy heaps, and theres not one person there I have even the tiniest winge about. Wellington people seem very nice, if a little more distant than I'm used to. I didn't manage to find any campaigns to jump into (other than LG, but that doesnt count) but I did manage to find out about several differant gaming days around wellington as well as a couple of websites that have LFG sections. I already have a reply to one of the sites (NZ Rag) about a group that may be happy to have me jump in. Should be fun. :D
The LARP was definately a highlight for me, though I wish I had picked a differant character. Not that I didnt have heaps of fun screaming about the inadequisies and weaknesses of woman and pretending to be a drunken baffoon, not to mention that my character believed that the Fox (an MtF soldier) was my wife. I just wish I had a slightly more serious character. There was some fantastic RP and Plotting going on, not to mention some very interesting philosophical discussions and my drunken druggy of a court philosopher didnt really have a chance to get in on any of it. :P
In other news I had a terrible day. My depression kicked in early morning, along with an unhealthy dose of paranoia, and I spent most of the day trying desperately to find a place, any place, that would take me. This got so distressing for me today that I actually ended up in tears outside a winz office at one point. I wont go into details, but I found a place in the end and my depression has (mostly) faded.
Oh, and weighing myself today I found out that I have lost 4-5kg since moving to wellington. Frankly I am unsurprised... I have gone from a 30min walk a day guy to a 7-8hours a day search for flat guy. This heat cant have helped much either. :D
