no, it's winter
the next event is April, although some guy on a dating site invited me to monster one in Feb. I probably won't.

How does that conversation start?
And is a monster won where you dress as a monster, or just a big LARPing event?
(, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 22:50, Reply)
monstering is being the bad guys
(ie the zombies/skeletons/demons, etc.)
To another larper its probably obvious from my pictures that I am one, too

I went back to the docs, but the results hadn't come in,
I'm off to hospital tomorrow, so fingers crossed they'll have some news for me.

Oddly, I'm a bit nervous about the appointment tomorrow, for some reason I've got a weird sense of foreboding.
(, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 22:53, Reply)
Hospital? Sounds serious..
although of course I hope it's a routine thing and everything is fine. I'm sure it will be. Foreboding is an excellent word though.

Fingers crossed I won't return and announce that I'm in a situation of extreme peril.
Peril is a word not used often enough.

No idea what to expect tomorrow, they keep dragging me in and telling me why they can't give me various treatments.

I dread to think my real size, should they find a solution.

Was there any further fallout over your work 'fridge-gate' scandal?
(, Wed 5 Jan 2011, 23:01, Reply)
Not as such
I still feel immensely awkward about it though and will probably continue to do so. I guess I'll just have to get my head down and get on with it, but I think I'll probably end up leaving at the end of my contract if I don't start to feel more comfortable.

Have you applied for any others?

Cold (usually) and it smells of Bovril.

But I work Saturday afternoons. Even if I didn't, it's far too cold for that experiment just yet. I think what I miss is spending the whole day with my dad and getting bought loads of stuff. We never used to see him for the next of the week.
