SCA resignation

juldeaIt didn't take me long to gafiate, did it? Except that's not really what's happening. And I'm not really going to disappear, either. There's just other things that I need to get TO, and I have to decide on SOME part of my current social activities that I need to remove from focus. SCA has never really been my thing, after all - really only ever a vehicle for hanging out with my friends, but there are other opportunitites for that too (parties, Cons) which I'd want to attend anyway, so I'll just concentrate on clearing time out so that I'm able to make those.
So yeah, I'm... gatoting. Going Away To Other Things. Heh.
All this really means is that I won't bother putting "SCA Dance" on my calendar (like it's been doing much good to have it on there recently anyway) and I won't consider going to events unless there's something REALLY good happening, such that it overrides other considerations. That said, I'm piking out on Falling Leaves tomorrow... I am indeed sad about missing Commedia and the ball, but my apartment and my life are in such bitter neglect that I need to reclaim the weekend.
One last thing - I'm not happy about this, and in fact have had a less than stellar day working my way around to this decision. My hackles are already up, as I (sadly) expect to get a lot of shit from my 'friends' because I've made a decision about what to do with my life. (Can you read the defensiveness in my text yet?) Please think about what you say before you say it, and analyze it from the position of someone expecting to see negatives, and change it if that's not what you intend to get across to me. :P

on 13 Oct 2005 17:44 (UTC)This makes me sad, because SCA stuff is generally the only times I get to see you. I don't do Cons, and even if I did, I wouldn't be able to do them for a while. I understand and all, but selfishly I am unhappy.

on 13 Oct 2005 18:29 (UTC)Some people don't have the courage to say "no" to stuff, and they end up getting sucked (or suckered) into every little thing that comes their way, and then they get spread too thin, and stressed, and have no "me" time, and stuff. i'm sure you know how that is.
in any case, i salute you for looking at things objectively, weighing the pros and cons, and doing what you know needs to be done, in order to reclaim a bit of yourself back where it needs to be. :)

on 13 Oct 2005 19:59 (UTC)Some of my favorite SCA folks I only see once a year. It is okay, even necessary, to take a break if you need it.
