Wow, you've hit the nail on the head for exactly how I feel... which is very
conflicted about even what
*I* want to do in the SCA... part of me is very service / authenticity
oriented, and then part of me is rather, well,
party oriented... and I have friends, like myself, that try and balance
both... and it really doesn't work out that well...
How do you all balance this? Not in terms of time wise, but just in terms of
getting priorities straight in
your head... because on the one hand I want to be as authentic as possible,
but on the other, sometimes it's
just not that fun to be...
