A Sprinkle of Varying Things
May. 4th, 2020 07:45 pmIs it May 4th already? Shit! Time flies.
I spend all my time studying. My life is very shallow in that regard; Studying, corpses and studying corpses. When I'm not doing that I watch Alex play Bloodborne or I play Animal Crossing or watch Trailer Park Boys lol.
Alex picked up my Embalming textbook and saw a degloved leg (don't google that) and he was very upset. EVERY page is a nightmare if you're squeamish enough!
What Alex and I have recently gotten into lately, though, is planning on LARPing. We hit the highest echelons of geekdom by wanting to do this, and lucky for us, there's a few groups nearby. We have been slowly figuring out our characters over the past few days: Mine is a primadonna fortune teller named Ludwig who wants to win the affections of any prince, marry rich, and never work a day in his life. Alex's is a former royal doctor named Sasha who is quite batty now after operating on himself on a dare and thinks that he's missing random organs that don't exist ("My squigglyspooch!"). He is more than willing to hack up a few things to get a spare organ for his collection... Even though it will be a while before we can play, we are very excited to play our characters and even more excited to work on their costumes. We will probably be the goofiest idiots in that group.
I'm pretty amped for the makeup portion of it all. Men wearing makeup isn't really a thing that's allowed too often, and I'm excited to do makeup for my very prissy and pretty character. I've done it before and enjoyed it, but I could work on my contouring and blending... I'll have plenty of time to practice, and I'll be sure to give you guys photos of Ludwig when I work on his costume.
I was going to post about urban legends, but I guess I'll save that for tomorrow ... I really didn't think I had anything else to talk about but I suppose I was more excited about LARPing than I thought.
