Reason #46 why you don't see me duct taped to a peer.....

[gurdymonkey]

The "Look What My Apprentice Did" post has hit two of my LJ groups today.

I went back and read the thing twice and you know what? She never told us her apprentice's name! Why? I mean, really. Why?????

This is yet another of the anarchistic reasons - and I have many - why I have never entered into a formal relationship with an SCA peer.

My work (or current lack thereof) reflects upon ME, thank you very much. I have earned renown of a sort without needing an advocate.

So no one gets to brag about me.

Then again, no one gets to complain to their cronies that I'm not living up to their expectations. Why should I live up to someone else's expectations? Isn't this MY hobby?

Pardon me while I go poke a laurel in the eye with a sharp stick.

No, NOT you. Even if you insist on knitting while in itsutsugini. (Sigh....)

I brag about you, so nyah. I just can't take credit for anything except knowing Kass who allowed me to renew our acquaintance.

So nyah, again :)

(MY EYE!)

I know nothing about "itsutsuginu" but once you mentioned it, the word "itsutsugini" looks like the name of some Japanese pasta dish with eel and seaweed
or something.

Kindly get out of my head, it's crowded enough in here.

How does this sound?

Udon (noodles), plus eel, quail egg, sea urchin, bonito and a slice of kamaboko (fish cake).

("Itsutsuginu" refers to five robes worn in layers.)

Leave out the sea urchin and it sounds very good!
