Skipping to more impressions and events than a chronological retelling, at this point.
I finally got a chance to meet
malacat13! Anne is a hoot and a half, and we're trying to talk her into bringing Max and Ron to Chicago for a visit (Ron can go game in Wisconsin, according to Anne, while the rest of us hit the Children's Museum and fun stuff!) I really

OMG! The things I miss when I'm being lazy and hot-tubbing instead of attending the Sumbel!
Her presumption just floors me. She doesn't know any of the parties involved, nor their close history, nor does she have any connection to the oath itself. Why she would feel possessed to challenge an oath between two people who consider each other Family and the Gods is beyond me.
Huh. That is kind of rude, isn't it? Especially since as far as I know, Chris has been an ADF member for quite some time. At least I've heard his name around as long as I can remember in ADF, even though I only met you guys last August. And she's rather young, isn't she?
Chris is the one in our relationship that takes things in stride - I'm the one that doesn't suffer fools gladly.
Oh I understand that totally! It's the same way with me and Rod. He keeps me balanced. A similar thing sort of happened with us this weekend. A certain well-respected favorite amongst all ADF-ers apparently said some uncomplimentary things about Rod, which was later reported back to me by Kestrel, and I flew off the handle and practically swore vengeance on this woman. Basically she dissed his Bardic night contribution and was generally not nice about him, from what I heard. But...*sigh*...everyone loves her. Even Rod likes her. Or at least acts pleasant to her. It was all I could do to not spit in her face and throw handfulls of grass at her like an angry pre-schooler when I heard about it later. *laugh* But still. Why do people have to do that? If they don't like someone else's Bardic performance, can't they just keep it to themselves? And respect that someone else put a lot of time and effort into their composition? Anyway that kind of spoiled a bit of Wellspring for me, and I know I shouldn't let it bother me, especially if Rod isn't bothered by it. But darn her! Darn both of them:)

Oh, Liz, it was so touching - I'm so sad you missed it, because it was one of the highlights of the event. They're such a wonderful couple, and it was just the nervous & sweet way that Craig worked his way into asking her to handfast. It truly brought tears to so many eyes.

Yup, Chris actually predates ADF by a few years, having been in Isaac's RDNA. And yes, she's young, which could explain a lot about it.

It sounds like you and I have similar roles in our relationships, Liz. Both Rod and Chris are very sweet souls, and you and I are the ones that will do practically anything to keep them from harm (another reason why you and I get along so well!) Not that they can't defend themselves - but it is one way you and I show our love for our partners.
I'm just glad that Rod didn't let it get to him.
