Today has been a day of crushing futility.

I spent all day trying to fix my PC. I started by googling for the drivers for my soundcard. The entire first page of hits were people saying "Ohh, it's so hard to find the drivers for this" I found many possible drivers, none of them are the right drivers. Some of them might be the right drivers, but they are corrupted files. arse.

Fast forward about five hours and I'm about ready to either cry, or smash my computer into tiny, edible chunks. I give up.

I go to Vampire LARP.

You can't hit anything.
There's lots of stuff written into the background to encourage conflict, but it vanishes the minute everyone goes IC.
I say IC. It's that mish-mash of IC/OC where everyone thinks it's ok the comment OC on things they're saying IC... or indeed, what other people are saying IC by butting into their conversations to say it.

I can understand that sort of laid-back style of LARP where it's not entirely serious or IC, but I'm not sure it's for me. It's a bit jarring to be dropped OC by constant comments.

I'd be interested to see if I can get myself involved in more plot, I think I'll go back. Partly because I want to see what the plot is like when you're not scratching round the edges and partly to see how the inter-personal roleplay works out (as one of the few attractive, apparently not psycho women in the room I had at least one man interested!) Which in itself is interesting - vampires don't really do love...
Hmmm, it has my interest a bit. I'll probably go back.

Also, just as a sidenote - Donner Kebab flavour pot noodle. That's gotta taste of AIDS.  The Bad AIDS.
