[Ansteorra] The poor sad remnant of the SCA

[Maria Bulgarelli]

Vigdis,
I have to say, to me the events are still magical, I still have fun, and the 
society does exactly what I needed it to do - get me away from my mundane life, 
where I have 2 handicapped parents to take care of, a Master's degree to study 
for, other people's taxes to prepare, and basically everyone else's problems to 
deal with.  And I'm not a newcomer.  I've been around for 14 years now.  I think 
the thing is that some people are not taking away what we are.
I still love the SCA.  I still love being a different person.  That's what I was 
looking for when I joined.  And I still get that.  The mundane problems are just 
that - mundane problems.  And I ignore them.  

Maria

I have been reading these discussions with interest. There are a lot
of great ideas, and I hope that many of them are implemented.  But as a
relative newcomer I'm kind of embarrassed to say that I AM having fun; the
events ARE magical; court is FULL of pageantry; and I've met with LOTS of
chivalry and courtesy. I gather that it used to be better, and I guess I'm
kind of naive ... but I think what we've got is still pretty great.
