No Pain... no pain o_o;
Well, I've walked away from the latest re-enactment event with slightly more injuries than usual, but at least I did actually walk away ^_^;

Derren got me right on my right elbow, which still hurts whenever I move my arm, and I also took a strong blow in the ribs and lower abdomen (which was a little too low for my liking >.>). I also got my fingers hit a few times, but thanks to my Super Poncy Gloves they didn't leave any marks.

The musketry and cannon drills were slightly more interesting than they had been in the past- we had a whole other 'living history' (i.e. people who dress up to be accurate and talk/demonstrate rather than to fight, necessarily) group who had about seven muskets between them and two huge cannons which they delighted in loading up with up ot three charges of gunpowder for a really big bang.

I was given a go at firing a musket, and when I did I swear reality collapsed in on itself for a moment- everything seemed to happen at once: a huge noise, a big flash of smoke and something incredibly hot landed on my wrist- the next thing I know the gun's at my feet and the scouring stick's about to fall down the hillside. Hot bits of... something from the match flew through the air and landed on my flesh, which immediately started sizzling. It hurts, but it's really only a very tiny mark.

Samurai X has some amazing music on it ^_^ I loves it, because it gives me many ideas for Nazreal and things. Some of the pieces are really scary, actually. I was listening to one first thing this morning, in the light of my bedroom, and it still made me want to check behind me in case something large and nasty was standing there. There was nothing there, luckily for me.

Still, it's good stuff. Puts me in mind for the Dark Stalker story ^_^

Hmm, need food now. Me find. Oodles.

EDIT: I edited the bit that hEvN quoted, because unintentional non-dramatic repetition in such close quarters annoys me.

And things are not well in the Solo household. Great. Maybe if I lie down and listen to music by the time I come out everything will be alright again >.>
