Sitting cat Welcome to my home-cooked journal.
Here you will find my rants about every day life and things that keep me busy.
In the past I have frequently written, but there's no saying if I'll continue on that path. It all depends on how busy I am.
Have fun reading my scribbles.
Enjoyable EE weekend

Last weekend we had a get-to-now-you-while-making-things-for-Exodus weekend for Evolution Events.
My dad drove me to Harderwijk with four large bags with fabric, sewing machine, locker and some stuff Matthijs had left at my place. Martine was there with her 'new' boyfriend and we had a nice conversation before going to bed.

Saturday we got up at around 9 o'clock because people would be arriving between ten and eleven. They came in in two groups and we got settled. A large table in the middle of the room with all sewing machines on top. Fabric all over the room.
There were roughly three groups:

  • Seamstresses: Cora, Suus, Annelies, Sanne and me. Making costumes.
  • Carpenters: Jan Willem, Gijs and Rene. Making shields.
  • Others: Karijn, Olga, Sander and Matthijs. Doing misc stuff like nerding, sewing buttons to clothes, advising and making coffee, tea and food.

Unfortunately Suus had forgotten to bring some of the fabric she and Cora had bought on the market, but there was plenty of fabric at hand with a large donation from Matthijs. We didn't even come near to using it all.
At the end of Saturday we had a lot of cute bonnets, some skirts, some shirts, pants, waistcoats, apron, two dresses and perhaps I'm forgetting something.
Since it was to be an enjoyable weekend we didn't set any goals and in the evening everybody gradually stopped working and started talking and lounging.

Saturday evening/night we had the get-to-know-us talk. It was very enlightening and impressive. For the first time (that I know of) we had a talk about deeper things than larp. I can't say anything about it except that it left quite an impression on me.

Cora, Rene, Suus, Gijs and Karijn stayed over for the night while the rest went home somewhere past midnight.
Sunday morning we slept in late, did some breakfast, cleaned up a bit and talked a lot. Around 3 o'clock everybody except Matthijs and I got into Suus' car and departed.
Matthijs and I cleaned up the rest, took a nice shower, had some dinner, watched TV and went to bed satisfied.

So yesterday and today it was time again for graduation-stuff. Yes, I do want to graduate this year. But you can read all about it on my project weblog.
