Greetings,
I have given this a lot of thought recently because I have a friend
who started, being worried because all he did was involved in the SCA
and this bothered him. I am a firm believer in the world is what you
make of it, I just happen to make the world into a recreation of the
middle ages with modern tidbits tossed in. Before I started heavily
playing in the SCA my reality was food service all I did was work and
hang out with the people I worked with. Now I go to school and plan on
being a teacher but what I do with my time is just as real in the
classroom as it is on the list field or in the kitchen. I have not
pretended the last seven years of my life the praise I have received
is very real the losses that I have felt have been real just because I
go by a different name on some of these occasions does not make them
fantasy. For some people their reality is football or Rugby or getting
drunk whenever they can. Things that I do in the society still effect
me when i change clothes and go to work. I am still sore from standing
all weekend I still have bruises and I still almost cry whenever I
think about the court that I received my AOA in. Just because the
majority of the world does not involve itself in my hobby does not
make it any less real.
In service
