1. I have an inbox full of emails (and LJ comment notifications) from excellent friends I need to reply to.

2. The Festival run of Cracks has a goodly number of signups after the first round--I just need more menfolk! (Eight more, in fact. Six, at minimum).

I continue to be deeply torn about the role of larp in my life.

There are couple of conflict points in particular here. The first concerns the intersection of larp and writing; the second is about maintaining my social circles in a limited amount of time.
