Found the SCA in 1994 and went to Pennsic 24 (the hot one). Became active after graduating from college in 1996 in the Shire of Sterlyng Vayle (Binghamton, NY). Moved to Iron Bog in 1997.
Tried fencing once – in a completely shocking development, it didn’t take. I’ve lived vicariously through others ever since.
Bard – "I'm the Bard, man!" She takes care of bardy things. Singing of songs, plucking of harps, composing of ditties, and blushing are all amongst her repertoire.

I'm the medical assistant for a concierge doctor in my town. I live with my sweetie Meryke and three cats, Rembrandt, Poofcat, and Tangerine, who are very cute until they step on your bladder in the morning. Available at any time to geek about music or marching bands or composers, especially the dead ones. Please, while it seems like everyone is doing it, don’t try and grab my... HELLO!
I try very hard to make 14th century clothing, play with marzipan and other subtleties, calligraphy and illumination, and Irish language pronunciation for names (northern dialect).
I would like to learn spinning, how to process wool, and cloth shoemaking.
