everything old is new again

so, um, yeah.

i was listening to the radio this morning and just as i was about to leave the current started, enough to hear the little intro of what was going to be on the show. and the host (don't remember her name, not anna-maria, i think it's sheila someone 'cause i keep expecting them to say "with shelagh rogers", but i digress...) was talking about one of the bits and said something about wanting to escape your real life and blah blah blah well, "we'll tell you about the new phenomenon called "Live Action Role Playing"."

ummmmmmmm...

surely to got i'm not the only one geeky enough to remember LARPing. i'm pretty sure it's been around for eons. it seems to be that it experienced a big resurgence in the early to mid 90s with the popularity of LARPing to Vampire or whatever that game was called, but even then i'm pretty sure that wasn't the beginging of LARPing.

"new phenomenon"?!?!?!?!

so, this is new in the way that the red hot chili peppers were voted best new alternative band on some people's choice awards thingy (maybe the MTV awards?) in something like 2003.


P.S. don't worry, i did notice i was tagged, i just haven't had time to write a meme yet. perhaps tonight.
