Got up at 5:30 to prepare to look for dead birds. Realized that sunrise wasn't even until 6 so I went back to bed for another 30 minutes. Got up (slowly) looked outside and saw it was snowing. So despite meaning to get to my site at like 6:30 it was closer to 7:40 when I finally got there (realizing that the snow wasn't going to stop). Realized I forgot my lock (was testing out my fixed bike, which still needs some adjustment on the derailleur because it's slipping a bit) so I took my bike all the way up to my office. First two buildings didn't have any dead birds, but just as I was about to finish surveying the third one, I found a dead yellow-bellied sapsucker. So I had to log that one out in the snow/freezing rain, which wasn't very fun and then drop it off at the freezer to confirm the identity.
I was planning on climbing afterwards but that was before I realized I had no lock, so I just went home. Took a nap, ate lunch and then went to Goodwill to look for rings and handkerchiefs. Didn't find any I liked so I went home. Finished, tried on my ensemble to make sure it worked out and then took another nap while waiting for it to be time to go.
Biked to the church (it was snowing again! just for a little bit though). Put on my costume and from then on out, I was ready for the murder mystery dinner. I spent the whole thing very in character, and since my character was an alcoholic, that meant I drank a lot of (food colored) lemonade. So so much, always had a glass with some liquid in my hand. It also meant that I was quite loud (the character was supposed to be a bit obnoxious anyway), slurred my speech a bit as the night went on, and stumbled more and more as the game progressed. Combine that with me very much playing up the "old money" aspect of the character and it was very fun. Forgot to do a mid Atlantic accent though. The mystery itself was a bit too easy, but I enjoy the improv aspect more. Same reason I like MUN really. Give me a character and a goal (in this case, my goal was be obnoxious but also very obviously not a suspect) and let me go wild, especially when everyone else is doing the same. So yeah really fun and I do think I was the life of the party. Didn't want to shoot myself when I got home either (did need to pee though. After peeing like three times at the church over the course of the night. Soooooo much lemonade). I need to do more improv activities. Or at least find more people interesting in a real roleplay heavy type of campaign.
Well I'm tired and caught up. Might as well go to bed.
