(no subject)

so, after my initial "yay" regarding my body functioning properly, there was much waily and woe, as the following day (ie yesterday, also known as my birthday) it appeared that my iron levels had plummeted (or so Amanda in work reckons), and I became rather ill. was ridiculously pale and breatheless - classic signs of iron deficiency I am told.

Then I was sick.

So I had to go home, and missed out on all my birthday cakes and things in work.

Which was alright, cos it meant I had time to tidy up a bit, and sort out some LARP kit stuff. Jamie was home early, so I got to spend extra time with him too which was nice. He cooked me yummy dinner for my birthday, Tuna steaks with chilli jam, potatoes and asparagus spears. with a nice Wolf Blass red. very yummy indeed.

And we watched Casanova, which we hadn't seen before. It was very good. Heath Ledger was awesome, Jeremy Irons was FANTASTIC as the inquisitor. "we are here to seek out heresy and criminal licentiousness. if there's bacon involved, I dread to imagine the depths of depravity we will find here in Venice" has to be one of the best lines in a film ever, if only for the way he delivered it.

the costumes were amazing, and it gave us loads of ideas/inspiration for our new LRP group.

Since the Regiment were all but wiped out at Wigan (except Jamie, who got to play at being the LG of the Lions until the Lions command team/the game team were crap at him and crowbarred Mike back in). So we decided it would be cooler if the Regiment bowed out, which led to Jamie making Caz cry when he went to say goodbye to Nerys as Lord Mourning, which I would have loved to have seen.

I do appear to have acquired lots of random Ael kit now, as they made him a member of their Family.

So, new group, new idea - we're joining the AlGaia (something which only a few years ago I would never have actively called for!). We're playing Estragalian nobles, of House Daga. Apparently, we've already scared the crap out of everyone else playing Estraglian nobles, which is awesome. The guy who wrote it all actually lives round the corner from us, so we went round and had a bit of a waah with him the other day. Which was cool.

It basically means I get to ponce around in a dress, with long curly brown hair (down to my waist!), being a Lady, or possibly a Baroness. I like Marchioness, but thats too high up the scale of titles for my character, which sucks, cos I really like the title. Might stick with lady, which makes me Lady Caterina Ramirez Daga. Which is a bit of a mouthful.

We're going to have carpets and everything.

Can't wait.

Poncing around in pretty dresses with long hair does sound awesomely great fun! If I ever find a way of making money, I may have to come and join you guys for an event... :-)

A very happy (belated) birthday to you for yesterday, by the way. :-)

to be fair, our plan was never to put Jamie in charge. we were going to put Jack in charge (although given the current climate, Lawrence would have had some sort of heart attack).

Although as we have decided, if you're playing the politics game, and the person who owns the company comes up to you and tells you to stop playing, it means you've won!

Never under estimate the power of taking carpet, three piece suties, and 4 poster beds to lrp events.

I'm working my way up to the three piece suites. And we were tempted to keep our old bed frame and take it along with us!

I definately think armchairs are in order. If I had a house big enough, I would have LARP armchairs. as it stands, I don't think our landlord would appreciate us taking his front room furniture to sit in a muddy field!
