Ugh. I was going to write some stuff up about larp thoughts, but I don't have anything new to say. I've seen a few people mention they'd like to hear more of my thoughts on the dynamics of a live-action game, but there's not much to add. Everything needs to happen right then; I think my biggest problem with down-time actions is that they always feel like homework assignments for a class I'm interested in. Even though I like it, I don't really want to have to do extra work for games all the time. It's not like it's really hard, but whatever.

Been feeling kind of pooped lately. I'm making a fairly serious effort to go to sleep at a good time and eat well, but I haven't actually fully recovered from my time at my last job. I can't blame the environment for everything, but a couple of things happened to degrade my condition. My eating habits got dramatically worse (and the condition of my skin suffered, actually), I didn't move around as much as I had, I slept during the day and mostly sat around at night, and I began drinking heavily for a fairly extended period of time. Besides that being a bad habit, and contributing to my fatigue, I also started gaining weight. Not a lot, but it's noticeable, and I really can't attribute it to anything but an overall unhealthy lifestyle.

They say when you're a kid, you can eat anything, which I know isn't the case, but still. The metabolism is a lot faster. It's possible that my actions sped up a bad condition, but it's still not reasonable to act like I never got older. My habits have changed a lot, and I never really observed my bodys reaction to them, so I think it's probably a good idea to get into a habit of excercise and curb the tendancies towards heavy drinking that I'd already observed to be unhealthy. I realized at some point not too long ago that I'd begun making jokes about alcoholism. It's a somewhat dubious subject because, as Brent mentioned, once you start bringing it up, people might really wonder, and that's not something you can shed easily. More then just that, though, I think my making those jokes is really kind of indicative of me worrying about that and observing a dangerous trend to start on. There's nothing wrong with drinking, but it's not good to be excessive about it, and doubly so for me.

So, anyhow.

I know these posts arn't always fun. For others, they might be downright boring. In the end, though, that's what's on my mind and lately my mind's on my health. I'm in good shape, generally speaking, but it's foolish to take that for granted.
