Jun. 15th, 2005 02:18 pmLast night was my last LARP game, ever. I have stepped down from the ST position, and I have no intentions to ever play again. I feel sort of meh about it - I'm upset, but not because I left. Mostly because of what other people and time have done to a once-cherished hobby. It irks me. Oh well.
I spent most of last night with my feet in the Otonabee River, offering delicate pink flowers to Isis on the deep-green flow moving past me. I love Trent U. in the summer - no students, just me and the water and many different beautiful flowering bushes and shrubs. A pity I'll have no reason to go out there anymore.
The crows were very active out there. They played tag all over the Commons, being quite raucous, and then there was sudden silence, and stillness. As darkness finally fell I could feel the storm coming...finally broke the wretched heat and humidity. It was beautiful to be standing out in the fat droplets of water, letting them fall on my skin. I could feel every movement and change in the storm in my head - I didn't even have to open my eyes. Magnificent. I feel cleansed now, but still fairly melancholy and grey. It's funny how cleansing doesn't really affect my mood a whole lot.
Wonders of wonders, the lawn was mowed while we were out, and before the storm. I actually have a normal lawn, rather than a small urban jungle.
Today is cool and cloudy, very windy, and enchanting. I'm taking in a pair of pants so I have comfy summerweight bottoms to wear again - nothing like taking a pair of pants in 4 inches. I will repair these pants, and then I might go out and sit under my tree and enjoy the wind for the first time this summer.
