BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BLOODY WELL PUT!!!!!!!
I add that since I have been "playing" in the SCA I find my self
acting, thinking, judging? people and generally being a differnet
person due to the influence of the SCA and the Code of the Dream.
Sometimes it is hard to do. Mundane (there is that word
again...hummmm) people do not always understand, but then we have
hashed that out already.
I have tried to apply some of these newly learned principals to
another hobby I have. It has been really hard and frustrating.
But, it will not get me down or discourage me. Forward we move and
learn.
Again....(much clapping here) Vivat and Bravo for Timo's words.
In Service....
