How The Hell Did It Come To This...

...where I dread the thought of sitting down to create a larp character because I know two thirds of it will be thrown out for reworking?

Where I feel that playing a character involves my mind being put under the microscope for all-comers to dissect and throw in their 2cp worth?

Where I have grown so sick of people expressing their opinions to me that I spend four hours ranting to my own girlfriend about how I hate how it all looks from here?

Somewhere down the line, it all went horribly, horribly wrong.

Didn't you know what's what signifigant others are for? They are the best listeners.

Don't know what to say about the character thing :(

She never complained. That's one of the many reasons I love her.

It's not set in stone yet - after all, nothing in TL ever is - so you might see me turn up. If I can find a way to avoid people telling me to run away.

They only tell you to run away cause they don't want your characters to die. I know that's the reason I would, anyway.

It's the reason you did.

I know it's said with the best of intentions, but I knew why they were dying. It was part of the character concept to a)not leave combat, as per my oath b)act like the warrior he thought he was. People telling me to 'run away, you'd survive longer' seemed to me to be suggesting I hadn't realised why.

Whoops, that was still me. Gives away where I am...

Hmmm. I guess that was me. I didn't realise it offended you that much - I do apologise.

Not just you. Half the society told me that I'd survive longer if I ran away - just trying to help and all that. You are, however, the only one who apologised.

Sorry for when I've offended you also,
