Exodus for Fxxxxd Up. Supposed to have been five of us turning up but in the end it was just us two. Sickness and surgery put paid to the rest of 'em, leaving us with a choice of three hotel rooms to sleep in.
Off to the usual Chinese Buffet place for dinner, neither quality nor service as good as it usually is. No idea why.
Then on to Fxxxxd Up. Hmm is that a shy wimpy 'Fucked Up', or Fixed Up or just some random xxxs chucked into a few adjacent typed letters? Every time I see it I want to call it FixedUp because of all those 'X's but I've been told (by the woman who should know!) that it's Fucked Up. So 'Fucked Up' it is.
Billed as The End Of The World Party, I struggled with the theme. I reckoned there'd already be loads of zombies so wanted something a bit different. I was married once and have said it'd never happen again so my take on the end of the world would be getting married. So I stood out in a cloud of white with a hooped underskirt as the bride with mascara running down her face (inspired by mini_velvet, 
suggested by another friend) and smeared lipstick. I took up space for two people and had to continually hoist the bloody skirt up to prevent it from being walked on, but then the dress wasn't made for me, it was snapped up on eBay for no doubt a fraction of the price the original bride paid for it.
I managed to get through the evening without wrecking it so it'll go back on eBay and I'll hope to make a small profit on it 
Met up with some people I'd not seen for ages and ages, caught up with a friend who'd moved away and marvelled at some of the fabulous outfits and costumes. A lot of work and thought had gone into some of them. The futuristic 'gun' that glowed blue light from the stock and the barrel, the tall couple in Mad Max type stuff, the gorgeous yellow dress, the labelled overalls saying "No Armageddon too small", the man dressed immaculately in a tailcoat who took it well when I rushed up to him proclaiming that he was my lost groom.
We didn't play, I had kind of thought it would look good to see the blushing (yeah right) bride bent over something with her hooped skirts up in the air getting her arse reddened, but it didn't happen and I'm highly unlikely to be dressed in this way again. Bondage would have been an interesting test for him
I socialised, drank a half bottle of white wine, my preference is for red, but it was a white dress and ... well yeah I'm sometimes a bit clumsy so I took along white, very carefully drank a cup of tea, ate a piece of All_of_Me's delicious brownies and met some lovely people.
Exodus is a fabulous venue, that was my third visit there for three different events but I can't say that the events have been really that different. They can't be as it is the same venue with the same equipment and the same layout and we don't play hard enough to notice we're not allowed to do something at one that we can do at another.
I went back to the hotel in the dress, it was too tempting not to, but the Travelodge didn't offer me a bridal suite nor a complimentary bottle of champagne so we went to bed and B attempted to kill me by stuffing something repeatedly down my throat until I vomited.
Manchester Rope Jam was on the cards for Sunday, we'd not really planned to go to this before we left home but it was suggested on the way down the road and it's sort of on the way home. A bit of a detour but it was worth it. I got tied up so both arms and one leg were wrapped in rope, of course the pain was all in the leg that wasn't tied, due to all of my considerable weight being on that leg unmoving for quite a while, until the thigh muscle started to feel as if it were about to cramp. Ouch. And yet weirdly, though it was the leg that was hurting the most, my mind was insisting that it wanted my arm out of the rope first.
It was a good afternoon and nice to meet up with a couple of people I'd not seen for years, not much chance to catch up but still lovely to see them.

I still reckon you should go to the supermarket in the dress before you put it on e-bay A friend with a flogger/cane/crop/pinwheel/violet wand/set of needles/strap on/etc. is a friend indeed | ||

I love the casual way you mention his attempt at murdering you!
Be careful what you wish for; he might just happen. | ||
