We went on a field trip today in Costuming. I can honestly say that's the first field trip I've ever been on that was a total blast.
( Boring details )I might post some of that in
theatre_techies.
We were climbing into the fright elevator at one point, to ride up from below the stage to deck level. Someone was asking what was the maximum weight the elevator would hold, and the guy giving us the tour said he didn't know, but as the doors opened, you could see the sign inside which read, "Maximum Capacity - 6000 lbs" and I pointed it out. At which point Nick cracked, "Uh-oh, Dan, better not get on." I shot him a glare, and he laughed and made a comment about how silly it was to say that to, "the scrawniest guy in the class!"
Um.
...You know, that's not how I ever thought of myself. I know my dysphoria makes me think I'm larger than I am - hell, it used to be worse, I used to feel like I should be 6'2". At least now, I've got a more realistic idea of what my height is. But I'm pretty convinced that I have more muscle mass than I do.
