ultimate nerddom

I had a dream that I wrote the most PERFECT and short blog entry, just in the nick of time before I left for my LARP (we'll get into that later, but start snickering now). Whatever I wrote, it was witty, insightful and relevant... to what I'm unsure. Here, in waking hours, I have no frigging idea what I wrote about.

ALAS, as I squander the time I should be using to shower, get decent and trek to my parent's house to find last season's mask, I sit and drink a Pepsi, reveling in the upcoming excitement! It's LARP weekend!!!

If you are unsure of what a LARP is, it is Live Action Role Playing. The ultimate in nerddom.
Typically four times a year (three this year.. boo) we gather at Camp Piomingo to indulge in fictional storylines and lives. Not once this weekend, from 10pm Friday until 6am Sunday will I be Cary. Nor will I sleep at all Saturday night.

I would love to post more, but with out witnessing the continuation of the storyline, I have nothing more to add. Sunday, however, you will get to see the few images I will take and hear a smidgen more about my nerdiness. Whether you're interested or not, or just really want something to laugh about, you'll have it soon.

I will smite thee with my +3 sword of deception and my potion of giant strength! Hey, I used to play D&D, so I can relate, OK?

No, you are not safe. I know some LARPers. Are they called LARPers? That sounds like Leper. *laughs* Damn.

I was invited to one of these events around this time last year. My buddy Erin LARPs.

I can not see myself EVER participating but I would love to be a spectator.

Most people judge the LARPer but do not realize that they are usually pretty cool cats. Those I know are.

Fuck, you Billy. I am not an addict! *foams at the mouth*

I know you are not an addict, but the first response you left on my blog was scary as shit. Glad I didn't run though, it has been good times.

By the way, if you ever plan on starting a band, anyone. THese word verifications make some awesome band names. For example: Expoonsi...those guys rock!

I accidentally LARP'ed once while working at Executive West during the now-defunt Rivercon.

Yay nerdiness!

I mean "Defunct" not "defunt"
