I won't wear dresses...

[same_difference]

...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.

*hysterical laughter* I quite like the image of you in a dress. (This is what you get for encouraging me). Good luck with the armour and the getting fit.

Since you are awkward, and I already know the answers to some of the questions I've been asking other people, some of these are new:

1) If you wrote a book, what would it be about?

2) Out of all the speical powers/abilities in the TL world, which one would you chose to have for yourself in real life and why?

3) What do you think is my most annoying habbit/trait?

4) If you could have one person removed from existence, who would it be?

5) Did you ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight? (I'm tired and out of ideas. Bonus points to anyone who gets the refernce.)

1) If you wrote a book, what would it be about?

I have absolutely no idea what so ever, none, in fact every time I have considered this for myself I've totally drawn a blank.

2) Out of all the special powers/abilities in the TL world, which one would you chose to have for yourself in real life and why?

Heal wounds, with it I could do so much good.

3) What do you think is my most annoying habit/trait?

I don't believe there is a good answer to this question, but thankfully for me I can't think of an answer anyway. Really unless you're related to me I'm unlikely to spare the mental capacity to think such things anyway.

4) If you could have one person removed from existence, who would it be?

How effectively removed from existence are we talking wheel of time-esque erased from all time bale fire, or just a simple ceasing to exist? One is too few a number to make a difference, so perhaps I'd go with myself so I could not unleash the power on another in anger.

5) Did you ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight? (I'm tired and out of ideas. Bonus points to anyone who gets the reference.)

Does the devil salsa? If so maybe without realising. I should mention I don't get the reference even if it triggers memory.
