<DIV>Why do I like to fight in the SCA?? Tonight I am sitting here thinking
about the SCA, for I had just sent off my report to Baron Ian, our new Kingdom
Hospitler. And I asked myself why do I like to heavy fight and I answered
myself. My first thought was “I like the dill pickles”. Yes nothing
like eating a great dill pickle and being able to try and hit someone with a
stick. But It is more than that. When I am out on the field I am
having a blast, I am always smiling and laughing. and after the fight I am
proud to show off my bruises. I remember my first kill like it was
yesterday, well it was almost yesterday it we at Gulf War this year defending
the front gate of the castle in the rain. I am on the field for myself and
my Lady. I am not trying to win the tourney nor empress a Knight. It
is nice to win once in awhile but it is not important to me if I win or lose as
long as I am having a great time and I don’t embarrass myself or my Lady.
Its all about the game and honor.</DIV>
