Here be dragons.

Jun 14, 2008 15:46

Back when I played regularly in the SCA, my friends and I had a little thing we would do as a joke: we would raise our hands in front of us as if holding a sheet of paper, and say "Here's a map of where we're not going." (i.e., "Don't go there, dude, I don't want to hear anymore about it.") Of course, after awhile we didn't even have to say ( Read more... )

Dude! Were you like, waiting for me to post? You're quick! :)

But yes, suddenly you look around yourself and realize you're in a new country. Hopefully, you also already know the language.

What an excellent post.

I wish I could say similar things about my own life, but I've been stuck in a rut for the past, ohhh, twenty three years, and I can't ever seem to get myself out. So mostly I just sit here, letting what could be my life pass me by.

Change happens all the time, even when you think you're sitting on your ass, you know! But the big things, like what I wrote about -- you never know when that might happen. I spent 19 years of my life basically being someone else in a marriage (and i was happy about it), but then WHAM!

If there's something you're passionate about, then bring it into your life, right away. If there isn't, don't worry, it will find you, eventually. You never know what's going to happen tomorrow. :)

Yeah, I'm pretty blah right now. I feel like I'm just stuck because I didn't graduate from high school and I never got my driver's license (like, I really don't know how to drive). So it's like, I can't go to college or anywhere, for that matter, because I have to rely on other people for rides.

I've never learned how to drive either, actually. My entire trip was done on public transportation and grabbing rides with friends.

When the goal is something you want enough, nothing will stand in your way. Don't worry. Have faith in your path. ♥

Hey!

*hands on hips, mock scowl*

Are you calling me a CGI?

It leaves me off-balance, and completely centered

More like completely self centered...

Thanks, Perchingwolf -- but they aren't too far off in that assessment. After all, the tag for the entry is "navel-gazing". LOL

But you can still shoot the troll with your arrows, if you want to. *grin*

I've never met anyone online *must less in a Chem related fandom( who did SCA. Anyway.. random I know. I just had to comment!

LOL No apologies necessary, after all we weirdos in medieval clothes gotta stick together, right? I haven't played for a couple of years, but it's mostly just because of money (i.e. I don't have it).

You know there's an SCA LJ comm, don't you? Just check out my f-list. :)

(There's more of us than you might realize. Mwah-ha-ha)
