Things have become a bit more stable in my life. Sure I once again fucked up when it came to school, and yes I still hate my job with every breath. but stable it is working on.
The school thing I would rather not go into, this time it was more of a paper work screwup and incorrect information givin to me that was the main problems. To answer the unasked question it was the fault of both parties, mine and the school. Past and done now happily. In January I hope to be in the OTA program at PCC. We shall see yes?
Still running around and not getting much done when it comes to the SCA, but they are good people. I see them as family now. I'm glad they decided to keep me.
I have started to get back into light fighting. Saber and dagger fighting. I still suck and die quite a bit, but there is a lot of laughter involved adn so far I am having a blast. My teacher is very... long. Long of leg, long of arm, and long of body. So his reach is considerable to say the least. Just damn. Well he is going easy on me so far.
Oh! I do almost have my Persian garb finished. All I need is the buttons for the jackets and yay! For those that are not familiar with this project I will fill you in. It was become a spiritual journey of sorts. I have come to quite enjoy hand sewing. My fingers think it sucks and it need to be put in the ick catagory, but hell it's great for zoning out and thinking. Or being social for that matter, who would have thought that a friend's house (slash grueling garb sweat shop), could turn out so many interesting concepts. Oh right, anyhoo it is a late peroid Persian, pretty light but all standards. Muslin drawsting pants and a long sleved ankle lagnth robe consists of the underware. A knee length long sleeve coat is worn on top of that, then pretty much keep stacking if you desire. Each coat has sleeves shorter than those preceeding to show off the materials. It turns out rather fun. Put a sword on your hip and your good to go.
We are headed out to the Ocala National forest come labor day for coronation. It is going to be a large party pretty much. I still don't drink but people are fun to watch, at least when you are not their keeper. People say the much unique things when tipsy, drunk, or otherwise impaired. My only fear is the heat. Lovely lovely Nathen is bringing a portable AC unit. I forsee his tent being rather crowded by the end of the weekend. He seemed amused by the concept, I am not sure if he realizes how serious we were when that was mentioned. He will learn.
Other that that I am absorbed in a new book. "Good Omens" it's a comedy about the end of the world. No, seriously. It's GREAT! Check it out. If you are at ALL interested in british/sarcastic comedy and think the fact that they LOST the antichrist (still a newborn) is a funny concept then run with it. It had be going since the forward and laughing by the second page.
yeah think I made this one long enough? I hope to see you all soon. Goodnight
