General update.
So, been quiet here. Time for a breifish update on various parts of my life.
I'm single again- Dani and I split a few weeks back due to the harsh reality of there being little chance of meeting again this year. I'm just too old to go through that length of waiting; somehow it's a lot harder at 26 than it was at 18. Or even at 20 for that matter. Anyway, it was a perfectly amicable split, though now she seems to be being a bit distant to me. Hoping things can go back to how they were before.
Work: Sucks. As always. Too many hours, not enough money, the usual. But at least I get some modicum of respect now; people know my face, know I get shit done, I'm still getting 'noticed' by management a lot and all that shit. It beats the alternative, but I /really/ fucking hate 12 hour days.
Holidays: I'm going to be in New York for a week from september 17th to see my awesome movie-making little brother! Anyone in the area fancying a meetup, let me know!
LARP: Well, the G was last weekend. And what a fucking corker of an event it was. Generally great weather, the new unit really seems to be meshing together well and making a huge name for itself and Rupert is really finding his voice as a proper character, rather than as 'Camrath MkII'.
Perhaps somewhat soppily, this also felt like something of a watershed event; for a start I felt like I was actually giving something back to the unit with the makes and shit I did. Also, I felt a /lot/ more accepted/welcome than I have done previously. Call it my own crippling insecurities, but a lot of the time at past events I've spent /freaking the fuck out/ over whether or not I'm accepted or just tolerated on the offchance I'll do something amusing. I won't name names, but the fact that people actually spent time OOCly chatting to me at random, and actually came up to me and started conversations and shit.. especially folk I've had a hard time talking to before, well it left me feeling just a million dollars. I'm not sure whether it's because I've changed, or if time has just gone by and people are used to me now.. but it really made a good event into the best one I've been to so far.
Also, spending four hours sitting in a tent breaking people and taking regular OOC breaks for corpsing up with laughter makes me feel happy and full of win. Amazing that the best RP I've ever had could involve being shockingly disgusting and flirting with whores. Awesome.
