I won't wear dresses...
...especially chain mail ones. Which is why I've spent most of today modifying my suit of chain mail. Pre-modified it went down to below my knees, the sleeves were long enough to cover my entire arms and hands leaving an inch over lap, and it's chain mail so the weight tends to pull it inwards, making it figure* hugging (well figure squashing). If it weren't for me being a 20-something male, and it being made of chain mail, I could be described as looking like a little girl playing dress up in her Mum's dresses.**
I think tomorrow might kill me, still that would make things nice and simple for me (though less simple for the GM's). Before I removed bits it weighed 19 kilos, I've taken a few inches of the sleeves and split it at the bottom (so I can walk), so I doubt it's all that much lighter. Plus there's plate to go top. Still if I survive it might help me get fitter.
If I start going to the Medieval Martial Arts regularly, and salsa fortnightly I hope it'll get me fitter. Both are fun so that's good. Even if it may take me a while to pick up salsa well enough to keep up with the pace of the lessons. Then if I actually start swimming like the physio recommends to build up that muscle group in my back that I otherwise never use, I might be reasonably fit again.
Anyway enough self mocking, here's a meme for you to do so instead:
Ask me or my characters up to five questions on anything - opinions, politics, my life, your life, whatever, and I'll try to answer them. I reserve the right to ignore or mock the rude ones.
*Not that I have one.
**I'm not sure I want to be giving you that particular mental image of me.***
***I am sure you don't want it either.

Um that one, that other one, and of course that third one. I really don't have a clue how to answer this. I just don't remember music, well not in a associated with anything else sort of way. Music is background to my life, that triggers sensory responses and emotive responses at the moment of contact, not conscious intellectual or long lasting ones.
A recently-baked Death, Resurrection and Death Again By Chocolate cake suddenly develops sentience. How do you explain life to it?
A wonderful and unique experience that while having the capacity for moments of absolute joy tends to be short and cruel. Especially when you are delicious chocolate cake with a limited shelf life even if I didn't eat you. Oh and far far more odd than it could ever comprehend.
What do you think the conversation would be about if Linte, Aurinyan and Lucien were locked in a magic-proof room together?
The stupidity of missions, the idiocy of others, and survival tactics. Once they'd got Linte to stop trying to escape and stop talking about Kadija, of course.
Which road do you think teaches you more valuable lessons - the path less trod or the one you walked yesterday?
The path less trod because of the new experiences it brings where as the one I walked yesterday I had walked before, and will walk again.
What's it all about, really?
Having the most contented life possible, while doing all you can to help others have the same.
