You know...I miss camping in theory...but right now I AM FAT, and I'm perfectly okay with remaining a hermit so people don't have to see me. wry

two of them are classes I have taught easily 20 times

come to ohio!

....you're missing the concept of "hermit," I think.

yes

I miss people

but I am less than enthused about starting shire meetings again

Why?

We don't have our usual space

midrealm has a lot of restrictions

I can go quite easily without interacting with people for a VERY long time.

so i want to meet OUTSIDE

Ahhh, gotcha.

and, uhg, wayne

nothing against wayne

wayne is very new

and very enthusiastic

Derpy?

and yes

and you may have noticed I am not always good at extracting myself from conversations

and I will make him a fucking tunic to SHUT HIM UP

because I can't hand-hold him through a machine right now

Ha!

Should he become somebody's protege?

siiiigh

he's very nice

but like scrappy do

Oh I see the urge to kill then

But glad he's nice at least?

yup

he's super into the crusades and freemasonry

Ah the Crusades... the first one as a cluster #@$# and it's the 'successful' one IIRC 🙂

he also does not seem to grasp personas yet

and that yes, he can be a crusader, no he can't be a knight, because knight is a title

and I'm tired ya'll

Hugs If you need to call it a night we've all been there

not that kind fo tired

I just don't have the energy to be his SCA mom

but, since we are a tiny and struggling group, I want to keep him engaged

Hard line to walk but don't make things no fun for yourself in your efforts to keep him

with the pandemic, that he's STILL interested is a blessing

This is true

Does he like to read? Throw books at him on the subject?

Yeah, there needs to be a critical mass to generate the energy to support new members. A small group will have more trouble doing that.

Yeah.

And, like, we have very few garb folk

and one of the other ones is diabetic, 70-ish, with one kidney, and WE ARE WRAPPING HER IN COTTON
