I know, I haven't written about anything -good- in forever. I know.

Friday, I ate Indian food, saw a muskrat, and actually relaxed. It was good. Finally!

I'm supposed to be packing to go home to KC tomorrow, for this weekend. I'm excited, especially since I found out that there's actually fighter practice in Forgotten Sea Wednesday. Social time? Maybe. :D Plus, I might be able to bring my drop spindle and work with other fibre geeks and figure out what I'm doing wrong.

My household brother assigned homework again.

[[Since I'm the only guy on the list...I can say Queen... ;) ]]

Sooo ladies...here's a little homework for you...to be completed
between now and the time that you really do become Queen. *heh*

Read through the West Kingdom Royalty Handbook:
http://www.westkingdom.org/files/RoyaltyHandbookRev9.PDF

I'd like to hear your thoughts on what you would do if you were Queen.
I'd like to hear ideas of what you'd want for largesse, what style of
scrolls you'd want, etc. etc. ad nauseum. This is basically a chance
for you to put on the fantasy hat and think about everything that you
would want or need to be Queen.

I'd like this to be an open discussion for you to contemplate things
and ponder what it would mean to be Queen.

Until the next time,
Jibra'il.


Silly brother.

Once I can actually sit down and read the 100 or so pages of the handbook, I'll fill this out. Not that I think I'll be asked to be anyone's Consort (and I'm not even sure I want to aspire to that brand of Peerage), but eh. Can't hurt. Besides, it pushes me to actually think about my behaviour in the Society and how I present myself.

Hrm.

I'm thinking about stuff to bring for this weekend. Photoshoot and all. I really do need nicer garb. Really.

My stepbrother has been deployed to Iraq. Please pray for Kevin and for his safety.

I think that's it for now. Maybe.

For you BFS folk who are staying in town and may potentially want to hang out, drop me a line, and we'll try to coordinate schedules. I'll try to be at Fighter Practice. Try, though, being the operative word.

Holy cow... and I might actually be out at FP this Wednesday... I remember when you were trying to get a rigde to your first SCA meeting, like what, 25 years ago it seems? 8-)

Ha ha. Only five years ago. :P

It's a shame you're far out south now, at least from my parents' new place (which is -so- not that far from the house I grew up in), otherwise, well. Eh.

I'd love yo hang but sadly I'll be in Chicago for the extended weekend. Travel Safe, sis!

Mom's driving, so I think I'll be okay.

Even then, you travel safely too. And have a blast in the Windy City!

Chicken Tikka Masala is yum.

If you don't get the drop spinning thing sorted hit me up at an event and I'll see if I can remember how. ;)

Definitely. I so need to get some more roving, and while I can make yarn, it's really, really, really slubby and won't turn the way I want it to, and I want to figure out what I'm doing wrong, so, definitely.
