The idea for this thread came from someone who hasn't been around for a while, so I thought I'd go ahead and toss it up and see if it would fly. Simple premise, really... just give the Upside and the Downside to whatever comes to mind...
Such as...
Got a BIG jump on garb for my renlet today...
Upside - She got a cute new pirate hat and a cool skull & xbones belt buckle for a baldric, so she's mostly set for her pirate garb, except for boots! :D
Downside - Now she's buggin' me for "real" sharp pointies (sword and dagger) to carry around at Faire so she can look more like a "real" pirate!!! :o
I aced my Microbiology practical today.
Upside: I impressed the professor and earned a good grade.
Downside: One of my slides cracked and broke, dripping crystal violet stain all over my hands. They are now purple. ::)
