Organisational Skills or Lack Thereof

thessalianBrighton Below is going to be nearly as hectic this time around as it was last time.
The running is as follows - given current financial statuses (poor), I didn't think I could genuinely justify crashing even in a hostel for the weekend. No problem, though - a little bit of comparison shopping has proven that I can actually get to Brighton, get to the hall, LARP 'til I drop, hang at the pub with the others for a little bit and still get home the same day. More or less. If you call some unholy hour of Sunday morning 'the same day', which I tend to do. See, the last train out of Brighton to London Bridge leaves at 23:37, and gets in at just before 1am. No problem, given night buses. And I'll be wired enough from game so that this shouldn't be an issue, particularly given I'm most comfortable going to bed at 3am anyway.
So anyway, what this basically means is that I'm going to Brighton Below, and even get to socialise after (which would have been a little bit tricky if I'd taken the other option, which was to sort of join into![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dodgyhoodoo's holiday and crash with him with his family; not my favoured option, as I'd be spending far too much holiday being wired, wiped or just plain absent). I will remember to bring comfortable shoes this time. And several pairs of socks. And gladstone bag yay! Also, I recently picked up a copy of Re-Animator and it came with this really nifty green syringe-shaped highlighter pen, so that's definitely going. Still having issues with knife phys rep, but that shouldn't be too much of an issue. I hope. I borrowed last time; might be able to get away with it again.
My real grumble at the minute is that I missed downtime. It was all written and everything but I didn't want to submit it until I knew they were actually taking downtime submissions because I didn't want to inundate the organisers. Not to mention that there's this whole new rules set about supply packs and things that I was contemplating fitting into things, and I'm still waiting for a map from Saint - I was going to basically submit with a comment of, "Have seen Saint's map and IC have a copy; I can show posts if necessary. This is what I want to do with that info". Anyway, it's moot now, because next thing I know, with no warning whatsoever, there's a post saying that they aren't accepting downtime submissions anymore. CRAP. That's me shot right in the foot. *sigh* That'll teach me. So now I simply grumble. Not sure what the hell I'm going to do about it now, but I'll know for the next time. Learning experience, n'all.
