I won't wear dresses...
Jun. 23rd, 2007 11:52 pm...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.
