gurdymonkeyNever get involved in a land war in Asia, never go up against a Sicilian where death is involved and do NOT expect someone from Jersey not to keep score.
This was posted to someone's journal today. I have never found this "joke" amusing, especially as a transplant to this kingdom who successfully (I think) kept a personal oath not to be The Ugly Easterner when I first arrived.
So, I decided to time travel back to last spring and respond with THIS.
It's still true this year. It always will be. I am proud of my affiliations and friendships and achievements. There are currently 19 kingdoms in the SCA. I have attended events in eight of them (and taught in four of those), I have people I consider friends (live and electronic correspondent kind) in at least eleven.
