Interests

  • General

    SCA - Society of Creative Alcoholics/er Anachronism
    This group touches my interests in serveral ways.
    1. Music: I have enjoyed the last year or so learning to play genres like see shanty's, pub songs, and medieval songs. I enjoy playing doumbeks while watching my rhythms connect with a bellydancer.
    2. Fencing: Inside this orginazation they have a fighting style called light weapons. Better known, er, derogativly known as "swishy poke" based out of fencing.
    3. I find the dressing up and acting/speaking with more chivalry to be much more relaxing in a world that forces one take such a stressful, technologically driven pace of true mindblasting speed that our modern world demands.(ah... its easy to stop and smell the roses if you are a SCAdian)

    nothing like a game where you can do anything and earn a little cash on the side
    well at times
