I keep thinking I'll make a big post about what I've been up to, but keep being intimidated by having to write something special, so I'm just gonna do a summary!
-I started LARPing. Y'all. You have GOT to go out and do the weird thing you suspect you'd love. First of all, playing make believe is what many many of us on here are made for, and it's hard to do as an adult--until it isn't. LARP. The community, at least in Alliance which is the group I go with (they have chapters around the USA!) is very welcoming and a lot more roleplay-based than I thought it would be, but fighting is ALSO a lot more fun than I thought it would be, and it's just fantastic overall. And it's the best way to meet people who actually share your interests, which leads me to....
-I met my best friend for life and he and I are engaged!!! Literally on our first night knowing each other, we protected each other from bandits and talked about how we live in such a violent world of adventurers who are used to killing as a 'necessity' but we still don't want to become hardened like that. Okay, that's what our hobling characters did, but still, what a way to learn about someone's inner thoughts, right?
-We're writing our LARP adventures into books! Writing fanfiction with you guys here on tumblr was the first time I realized that writing doesn't have to be a totally solitary thing. I'll forever be grateful for that. Writing with my fiance has also been wonderful <3 It'll be quite a while before they're done, but I'll be sure to update on here when they're ready!
-In the meantime, he's gotten me into streaming vidya games of all things! We played Clair Obscur (still crying) and are now going through Mass Effect (also crying bc Kaiden is mad at me but at least I can fix that). We're on twitch and youtube as hoblinggamers !
What have y'all been up to?
