... you have no trouble getting some sleep despite a mob of drunkards singing, gambling and fighting behind your tent
Being deaf in one ear helps, but yes...
... you store weapons in your living room
Yep, the Axe and sometimes some swords and the bows...
... you converted a whole room in your house into an armoury
As soon as we can get the wall racks...
... you had to suffer cuts, bruises, abrasions and a twisted ankle and you are still looking forward to the next event.
Uh huh...
... it's 35 degrees Celsius on the campsite and you are seen wearing a platemail/chainmail/gambeson combination
Does full body fur count?
... it's Monday morning and your colleagues on the job ask you if you had 'killed anybody this weekend?'
Yep...
... boring swordfights or uninspired costumes completely ruin a film for you
Yep... Usually with a step-by-step critique of whar's wrong...
... you decorate a birthday cake with Celtic knot patterns
Does our wedding cake count?
... you witness one of the most romantic scenes in the history of cinema and all you can think about is the guy's armour
Um... Maybe....
... you name your kids after obscure historic characters
Our cats are named after WoW dragons... Wait, that's the 'You know you play too much WoW when...' list...
... the only time the floor of your living room is visible is when you've packed your kit for the next event
Or, in our case, haven't unpacked either...
... you buy a bottle of booze only because of the label
Well, we did buy some beer 'cause the bottle looked all IC and cool...
... you're hard pressed coming up with a costume for Halloween because your kit really doesn't feel like one anymore
I got told off for wearing a corset to a work fancy dress day...
... you start wearing your belt pouch in public because it's so damn useful
Done that...
... you start work on a Monday morning with interesting bruises and a sunburn in a chainmail pattern
Usually sunburn around where mask sits and with brown/black splodges still in my ears...
I'll go and hide now... Jeager probably would get a few more than me too...

| Everyone knows I do LRP and they dont seem to care. Infact I often froth to the guys at work before an event and use my work email for sending IC letters and such, the last one was even spellchecked by my team leader. My folks still dont grasp what it is but also have no interest to find out. They are quite content its another harmless hobby, and at least it got me out the house when I lived at home. My mothers only bemusment was that I actually choose to camp and sleep in a tent, somthing she has never understood.
