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.

I am one of Oonagh's apprentices... and I don't think you had anything to do with Oonagh giving proper recognition to Lolly's work. Oonagh is a fantastic peer, and her unfailing support is one of the reason's why I am her apprentice.

She doesn't criticise, she teaches and mentors, and she always gives recognition to those that deserve it.

If all peers were like Oonagh, the SCA would be a better place.

Gurdymonkey, If you knew Oonagh as I do, there is no way that you would have posted this thread, and you would have realised it was a slight oversight that she would correct.

I'll go back to my little hole now.
