So there’s a thing that happens when you know you’re being watched for membership in a polling order. Or at least it happened to me… and that thing is that whenever a member of that order asks you something, you feel like you’re being tested. That feeling hasn’t come even close to wearing off yet.

Last Saturday night the REAL Mistress Eleanore kept insisting on calling me Mistress Alianor. Which is clearly NOT RIGHT. The elevation was lovely. Yet another way an elevation is like a wedding: it’s a big ol’ love fest. I think some of the things that people said, both in the vigil room and during the [...]

As I’ve been posting here over the past couple of weeks, I have been reminded of why all previous iterations of my SCA web presence have spluttered. I just can’t decide how I want to organize things. Because the “completed projects” and “current projects” schema doesn’t work – some things are too small to be [...]
Well, probably not. But after Ice Dragon I got it into my head that I needed to finally get myself in gear to put all of my SCA stuff on the web. I spent a couple of evenings developing content, mucking about with HTML and NVu before it occurred to me (in a fit of [...]
