[SCA] no need for a name

[juldea]

Dear SCA friends who have been overly annoying about insisting that I have a name and persona,

I have express personal permission from the Baron to not have either.

MUAH. :P

Love,
me.

Hrm.

Well, yes, partially. But the way you put it sounds like some kind of avoidant behavior, when really the way I feel about it is that my interest in the Society is purely social. (Of course, I don't object to the stray education that comes my way, but I'm not a history nut. History has always been my least favorite subject.) For example: I like making garb purely when I'm making it along with a friend. I have some simple hemming and such to do to finish one of my outfits, and since I pretty much have to do it at home alone it's been untouched for a while. Whereas I'm a sewing demon with other people around helping and talking. :)

This is kind of getting off-base... the point I'm trying to make is that I'm keeping emotional distance from the Society because I realize that at its core it's not something I'm THAT interested in. I do it purely because a lot of other people I get along with do it, so it's a great chance to interact with them in a new and different way (so that we don't have to just go to a restaurant and sit and talk every time we see each other!)

I don't want to get sucked into the pressure of having and keeping a persona and all of the bureaucracy of the Society when I don't anticipate it being that big of a part of my life.

Games have spectators who occasionally join in for a pick-up game. I don't need to have a uniform and play for a team, or know and follow all of the rules, as long as I don't blatantly violate those that others can't ignore, right?
