Well and there passes my first Gathering as a player again, after three years NPCing.
It was great! Made that way by having amazing friends and being so busy. I was really concerned about finding my feet as a player again - that I'd go from being an over-active NPC to a player with nothing to do. That so wasn't the case, and I never really stopped being busy.
Thanks to everyone, and a huge hug to sdar! You'll do fab!
(Shameless plug! "Tipping the Scales" Healers Guild October event - 29th-31st October, Cuffley Outdoor Centre, Herts. We need players and monsters! See http://www.geocities.com/waddle_thepenguin/scales.html for more details or e-mail healersguildevents@postmaster.co.uk)
.... still got lots to do, am now committed to doing them in the field as opposed to home.
Am now trying to pack. Am having to bring everything I could possibly need as opposed to half now and half coming later with Dan as it's possible that Dan won't be going to the event at all.
Is a shame as I'll miss him (yes I am aware I see very little of him at main events), but am not going to push the point as I know he's feeling really disjointed about LT atm.
