11:20 pm - Meme - Oh, go on then...
Well, I wasn't going to do this.
But then Willow died, and I find I'm having a bit of trouble getting her voice out of my head. So, what the hell?
Dramatis Personae: Major Sasagani Kotetsu Ipesch (Maelstrom) Willow Na'Vie Ash, Paladin of Peragus (The Cuckoo's Nest – very recently deceased) Kitten (The Cuckoo's Nest) Promise LaFayette-Moreaux (Masquerades and Massacres)

02:36 am - Celebrations and Complications
Well, we got the brochure and we went around Eastwood House and looked at all the prices, and it all looks to be affordable. Keep your fingers crossed, but the wedding should finally be going ahead in somewhat less than a year. It was so amazing to see it finally coming over the horizon as tangible event, one I can quite easily picture going ahead. Still got costs and exact numbers and whether I shall in fact end up taking Mark's surname to sort out, but it's quite definitely appear'd on the horizon.
And that, gentle reader, is a rather wonderful thing to be able to keep my eyes on at the moment, as so many other things seem to be proving infinitely complicated. It's bad enough of work, but at least that's expected. I admit, I'm rather upset about the fact that a variety of things related to the Nest are all proving horribly torturous.
As soon as I think I have something sorted out, it seems that five other things bubble up behind my back, and, at the risk of being emo, it's getting rather upsetting that I'm making rather a lot of effort to try and sort things out so that they are good for the largest number of people without upsetting any individual, and yet each situation inevitably just seems to bring grief of some kind my way. I don't mind IC politics - actually, I would love more complex plotlines in the Nest - but OOC all they do is make your social life uncomfortable.
Still. Only two more days of work, then Maelstrom. It's rather worrying when torturously complicated IC politics look a bit of a rest...

04:08 pm - Kitfroth
Mark and I have spent the day looking for various components to build him a facet costume.
Wanting to cover your boyfriend in latex and paint him up isn't all that abnormal, right?
In other news, the process of acquiring kit (or, until I get paid, drooling over kit I can't yet pay for) for Aliens and Alienation continues apace. Thanks to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) squintywitch 's ingenuity, the basics of mine aren't too bad, but there's still the process finding the correct jackets/spencers/accessories/shoes/shawls, not to mention makeup etc for me, while going through stuff to find a jacket, trousers and shoes of the correct period for Mark is possibly going to be an expensive and frustrating process. Rewarding, for Mr-Darcy-fantasy reasons, though ;)
I can't wait for this!

03:42 pm - Maelstrom dreams
More bloody Sas dreams. Last night, Olrich was alive again...
I'm more than a little worried what the sleep study is finally going to get out of me...

12:21 am - Telling it like it is...
Well, I finally managed to watch statementimages.co.uk/photographers/statementphotographer/lrp-live-role-playing/ and I have to admit, I'm highly impressed. Finally, someone managed to do a piece on LARP and catch something of the spirit of it, the cool of it. The thing you see in your head. Just a touch, rather than going for the "sad geeks in a field".
Well done, Orev, you came across particularly well. I'm just sorry I didn't get a chance to give the potted history of Sas!

07:49 am - EPIC!
Well, that was Maelstrom, at it's most ridiculous no-I-don't-want-to-go-back-to-the-real-world-please-don't-make-me-how-can-I-do-that? still buzzed utterly intense. I am awake again after around 6 hours sleep and I don't think I'll be getting much more sleep until I've calmed down.
I don't know how much I can say while still in Sas head, other than that, despite everything, that was a weekend of utter epic fucking win (ooc). I have never been pushed so much to the limit as a character, using literally every one of my skills multiple times, crying real tears, just about literally bleeding real blood. Each and every one of you guys was a huge fucking honour and a privelege to roleplay with. You were exceptional. I haven't even dealt with about half the stuff I know I'm going to have to IC and I don't know how much more I can say until I do.
It was beyond amazing. You are all win.

06:16 pm - Thoughts on Walker
Posted on personal journal due to the recentish unpleasantness on lrpdrabbles regarding impressions. Not intending to be emo, just wanting to try and avoid more unpleasantness, and has been recently requested, so cannot really be tied to one specific event or happening.
Fairly FOIP, some of it personal. ( Walker )

02:43 pm - Light Headed
Well, I finally got my hair cut yesterday, for the first time since before the Maelstrom of July 2006/
My head feels very very light, and I've already thought up an IC explanation as to why Sas has shorter hair, to come in due time.
The hairdresser straightened it for me after cutting it, which survived the night but has sadly no quite survived the Scottish weather, despite brolly and headscarf. *sigh* Oh well. I think on reflection I like it better curly anyway. It''s current state reminds me of my hair as a little girl, before I had it hacked off when I was 13 and it grew in again curly. It's sort of oddly wavy, and all trying to turn in different directions.

01:46 pm - One Year On
This is my 13-month anniversary of both lj and lrpdrabbles. This time last year, I was (briefly) unemployed, which I actually enjoyed rather more than I had the right to. I've written probably the best part of a book of Sas fiction (well over 200 pieces). I've got to know a hell of a lot of fantastic people I probably would have been too shy to make the effort to had I not felt I knew them to some extent through their fic.
It's been a good year :)
In other news, party weekend coming up! Mark and I have just acquired the finishing touches for our Halloween costumes, and I have good hopes of him coming along to the Mess on Saturday night too :)

01:38 am - And...breathe out. And then in again.
Well, that was one hell of a weekend. Despite some truly hideous weather, and enough IC angst, soul-searching and other crap to float a boat (and mud. Enough mud to float the damn Ark!) it was great to see all of you guys from down south again, and I'll miss you all horribly. Roll on January!
And so to my first day in the new job. It seems nice, overall. I'll be doing important stuff. It looks like I'll have scope to do rather a lot my own way, and to stretch myself. It looks like a hell of a lot of hard work, and that's good, because I need that.

10:28 pm - Trickster
I'm beginning to feel something very weird is happening.
After a weekend where my phone got lost twice, only to turn up in a bag where I was unable to find it previously and had no memory of putting it each time, I went out of my door this morning to find Sas's flower hair ornament, which had been missing the meatgrinder Mess last weekend, sitting square in the middle of my doorstep. Given that Mark and I had both been over the threshold three or four times the previous night and hadn't noticed something bright crimson... that's fairly odd.
What is even odder is that, while I was checking the mail log at my work, far away in a different room from my desk, coat and bag, something hit me on the heel. I looked down to realise that it was one of Jenny/Daisuke's origami flowers.
Something is fucking with me.

04:48 pm - Gah!
Cat_That_Walks has just informed me that the Maelstrom booking is open and will be more expensive from mid-February. Trouble is that it's £165. I get paid weekly, and that's about two thirds of a week's wage. There is no way I can spend that much at once, and no time to save, really.
Looks like I'm just going to need to set up another standing order, much as I'm trying to cancel the things right now... Gah! This was so much more simple when I was being paid monthly...

08:52 pm - Knackered
Until I got this job, I'd forgotten just how knackering it is to spend much of your day bored out of your skull.
I was so bored I spent today pretending I was filling out requisition forms for Olrich just to stop me fallng asleep. My actual Boss probably won't set my soul on fire if I do.
