It's Procrastination, Jim...

...but not as we know it. I feel like I'm procrastinating, but I have no idea what I should be doing otherwise.

I started up my Outlaw Star RPG, I'll type up a reply to that if no one else does within the next... while.

Winged Warrior
Saturday was the reenactment fair at Coventry. I'm generally pleased with what I have, but I'm annoyed at myself at the same time. Having Mum there with me certainly made things a lot easier (buying things, for example), but the problem was that it was too easy. The first thing I purchased was a rapier with scabbard and baldric. I was very pleased- it was the last one left and looks fantastic. It was only when I got home that I realised it's not a reenactment model. I'm going to send it back and hopefully get a refund or an exchange for one I can use. The thing is, they didn't tell me it wasn't for reenactment. They're really decent swords, but nothing to me unless I can use them. That's the main thing that pissed me off, really.

Apart from that, it was a generally good (if expensive) day. For weapons, I got a Falchion (a single-edged sword with a protective guard that runs over the sword hilt like a loose knuckleduster) and a dagger for my rapier (although I think that dagger might too be unsuitable for combat. All it needs is rounding off, I think. But I might ask them to take that back too). I also garnered two belts and some swankynice gloves for my 17th Centure dandy outfit, heh.

By far the best item I bought was one that I can't actually use, but love anyway. It's a 17th Century Polish Hussar's (light cavalryman) helmet. It's got an articulated back, flaps down the sides to cover the ears and two huge metal wings coming up over the top of the helmet, a la a considerably butched-up Asterix. I'm having some photos done as soon as it stops raining and is bright enough, heh. It just looks amazing.

Oddly enough, I don't feel fulfilled by all that. It cost a heck of a lot of money for starters, at a time when we don't have that much extra to actually spend. I wish I'd known about that rapier earlier- that would have saved us a LOT of money. And I mean a lot. The only reason I'm not putting down figures is because I'm embarrassed about it.

There are worse things to be worrying about, I know that. This is just what's bothering me at the moment.

Write Night
I have a lot of writing to do. Future Prospects, Enter the Net, Dark Conflict, W.H.A.T.E, R.O.T.E.F (if I can get round the glaring plot errors I made in my posts already, heh), and Battle Island too. Plus there's something I want to include in here that may take a while to do. Best get to it, then.
