1) I start work on Monday.
2) This prospect appears to have actually un-depressed me somewhat, which is nice.
3) I am going to Maelstrom next weekend, because I am UTTERLY STUPID. Also, addicted to LARP.
4) There was a TT weapons practice / system test / thing today. It was fun. There was lots of running around and hitting people. I am not very good with ambidaggers because I can't run fast enough. Also, goblins! I now have irritating Sneaky Bruises which hurt as if I have bruises but don't show at all (mostly on account of Wet Slippy Grass, although also slightly the fault of Overenthusiastic Zweihander Wielding on the part of the Good Team). The new system proved surprisingly resilient and problem-free; we expected to have loads to talk about afterwards, but everything actually went pretty much as expected.
5) I have finally worked out how to cook mince. It was tasty, although it would have been nicer if we'd been able to find the non-Value mince in sensible sized packets, because it was quite obviously Value mince.
6) Is there anything you'd like to know / like me to post about?
7) Have a meme:
-How many girlfriends or boyfriends have told you they love you?
Two, I think.
-Have you ever thought that you were going to marry a person?
Yes, and then I did :)
-Have you ever loved someone so much that it hurt?
Yes. (The first example that springs to mind is my mother, but generally I love quite a few people enough that it makes me quite unhappy when they're unhappy.)
-Have you ever made a boyfriend or girlfriend cry?
As far as we're aware, Nicholas can't actually cry, but if he could, I would have, although most of the problem at the time involved him technically not being my boyfriend right then. I don't know about the crying status of anyone else.
-Are you happier single or in a relationship?
I am, in general, happier when in close proximity to friends. Being in a relationship increases my proximity to friends (as I wouldn't be in a relationship if I wasn't friends with the person) and therefore is a good thing from a happiness persepective.
-Have you ever been cheated on?:
No.
-What is your favourite thing about the opposite/same sex?
I'm tempted to keep![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dreamfracture's answer: The little silly things that they say which make me go "God, I love you." Although it's not just say, it's in fact more often 'do'.
-Have you ever had your heart broken?:
Not by anyone other than myself, and possibly God, although you could argue that isn't His fault.
-Have you ever broken someone's heart?
Probably, although I think claiming that I had would be tantamount to boasting.
-Talk to any of your exes?:
Yes, although rarely.
-If you could go back in time and change things, would you?
I suspect I would suffer Indecision over what to do, and most of my ideas would end up with me wandering through time like some hopeless disaster-predicting Cassandra, not being listened to because it's really hard to change history even if you know everything.
-Think any of your exes feel the same way?:
Oh, you mean about *relationships*. I probably wouldn't, even though I might be able to save some people some pain by doing so; I certainly wouldn't without the involved parties' current incarnations' permission and encouragement.
-Do you believe that you are a good boyfriend or girlfriend?:
No, I'm terrible :). I'm whiny, demanding, get random bouts of "Don't Touch Me", become violent with little warning, can't be taken anywhere, am hopeless at domestic tasks, and am generally not very easy to live with or get along with for long periods of time :).
-Have you dated people who were not good to you?:
Given that I've never really 'dated' anyone, this is trivially a 'no', but I've never particularly been mistreated either - especially considering how much mistreatement I dish out :).
-Have you been in an abusive relationship?:
Nicholas and I occasionally half-joke about how I am his abusive girlfriend. Usually when he's trying to calm me down from a screaming, punching, biting rage.
-Have you dated someone older then you?:
Ignoring the use of the word 'dated', yes.
-Younger?:
Um. I think so. That would requiring Remembering People's Ages, which I don't really do.
-Do you believe everyone deserves a second chance?:
A second chance at what? In general, yes, but there are a large range of situations where people do not deserve a second chance (generally in the category 'huge abuse of trust' - they don't necessarily deserve a second chance to hugely abuse trust in the same way, although that doesn't mean not being pleasent and reasonable to them), although I may still give them one.
-Believe in love at first sight?:
I believe in lust at first sight, and infatuation at first sight, and attraction at first sight, and terrifying utter obsession at first sight, but generally I think things have to mature a little before it deserves the label 'love'.
-Ever dated two people at once?:
No.
-Ever been given an Engagement ring?
Yes. (I lost it while carrying armfuls of stuff including Camo Netting across Churchill Fields. I have spent quite some time extensively searching the Camo Netting, which is really difficult to do, but whilst it still might be hiding in the darkest recesses of the Huge Pile Of Camo Netting, I suspect it fell off and was eaten by the field (which I also checked, but there was mud and grass and stuff in the way). I am still somewhat upset about losing it as it was really pretty.)
-Do you want to get married?:
I have already got married. It was confusing and expensive, even though we tried to keep it fairly simple and low-key. Everyone other than me apparently had a fantastic time, which was nice. I fell asleep at the afterparty. *Being* married is great. My dress was very pretty, but disappointingly badly made (it started falling to bits during the photos when the veil came off the comb, and bits continued to rip and fall off and unravel throughout the reception; it is now slumped in a sad-looking pile in our bedroom, where it will reside until someone says they want it or we get the heart to throw it out).
-Do you have something to say to any of your exes?:
Yes - posting your email addy with a wildcard that's meant to be your forename, when there is at least one obvious abbreviation of your forename that you use, is slightly irritating, but not actually inconvenient enough for me to comment on your post.
-Ever stolen someone's boyfriend or girlfriend?:
No.
-Ever liked someone else's boyfriend or girlfriend?:
Yes. (I could be evasive and sarcastic about the question and claim that because many of my friends are attached I obviously like people who are someone else's boyfriend or girlfriend, but I am sure it is blazingly obvious when I have a crush on people and I definitely have crushes on some people who are firmly attached - and am firmly attached myself anyway, but that doesn't stop me daydreaming.)
-Does heartbreak really feel as bad as it sounds?:
I don't really do the whole heartbreak thing, because I am too self-absorbed / pragmatic / adaptable; I do a fine line in Horrible Gothly Angst on occasion, though, which is pretty awful and probably about the same.
