Home sweet home

Back in Seagirt!

I've learn many things this weekend.

- More people then I thought reads this blog and find it inspiring. (So I will keep posting and sharing)

- My defence is getting better! 20+ fights, 3 bruises!

- I've stopped fighting my sword and I've stopped going all arms. I have zero muscular pain in my arms. But my shoulder, lower back and core muscles are moosh.

- I think other fighters stopped giving me chances and are really fighting me at their best level (and I am crazy happy to finally have that honour).

- I need better socks.

- I have learn that when someone wants to talk to me, it doesn't always mean I'm in trouble and pain rarely follow the conversation.

- I've learned how to inspect a combat arrow

- I've also learned that being hit in the throat by a failing combat arrow stings like a bitch.

- SCA guys have a thing for kissing hands.. Was shocked at first but I think I like that!

- I should never change my hair colour, it's how people recognise me. From people I fought a year ago to random lady on the ferry who recognised me from a demo.

- I've seen a lot of rapier techniques that I wanna try.

- I have learn that my sleeve attracts a lot of attention, especially from people of the faith.

- Heavy fighters snore a great deal.

- Americans really really love football. Almost as much as we love hockey!

The greatest thing that I've learn (I kinda already knew that) is that I have amazing friends, brothers and sisters in arms all over the kingdom (and beyond)

It amazes me every events. The quality of people that are in this society is phenomenal. People I've met 2-3 times talk to me like we're old time buddies. People I've never met interact with the outmost respect. The SCA really is like a huge family. Hard to believe that I fit in. I was always the outcast, the ugly duckling, the nerd, the geek, the short piece of garbage and now, I'm part of a this awesome family who takes me as I am.

Oh, and Seagirt has one more Senior YAC marshal.
