Been asking myself why I wanted to go to this event since I'm not a herald and I'm not a scribe and I'm not even sure what symposium means (yes yes, I will google it).
Wow am I happy I went!!!!!
First of all, I got to cook!! I was asked to bake a couple of tourtières so I whipped out the century old family recipe and baked. It was a hit, got lots of compliments!
Second, I've asked my brother if he could babysit. Haven't had adult time (without the berserker being there) in for ever. He accepted. Sounds like she had a blast!! And I had a blast too!! Huzzah!! She joined me in the evening for the feast and she was a very nice and calm girl. Royal charmer too,
Third! So I learn there was gonna be fighting. I wasn't feeling awesome so marshalling sound like a good plan.... So that being said, I fought. Didn't have my gear so I borrowed stuff. Side note: I was wearing a late period Scottish dress... Not easy to fight in a rib crushing bodice!!!
Fourth: ZOMG the food!!
Fifth: Very awesome dancing.
And most importantly Sixth: I got to see lots of my favorite people today. The more I see those people, the more I love them.
Moral of the story: ALWAYS have your armours with you, cuz you know you'll end up fighting anyways.
And tomorrow!!!!! Fight practice!!!!!!
