To P or not to P
Well, this weekend was kind of surprising. Had a lovely time at Three Kings and pigged out appropriately at Feast O’ Meat. Went to court to watch M get announced for her Pelican and got ambushed myself. Very weird – don’t really see it, myself. As I was kneeling up there, trying to decide whether or not to decline, I kept remembering the talking-to I gave O last year when she was trying to decide whether or not to accept. My choice was to decline and feel like a hypocrite or accept and feel undeserving. Damn it. I managed to go 18 years in the SCA without having to attend a meeting I didn’t call. Streak broken.

YEAH!
Congratulations!
~GRIN~
@Colsith - Yeah, you should be smug. Aren’t you the first White Scarf that was asked by the Queen to speak for a Pelican being made?
I don’t think so…I remember at least one other being asked to speak for other Peers before…just can’t remember who or when. ~yes, I am getting old….~
But, it was My honor to speak for you.
Was there, saw the joy and support and was very pleased as well.
Did not have my camera handy, I am afraid, so the memories shall be less than they could have been.
Yes, meetings, that I pray lead to better things in the SCA.
Congrats! The WK told me all about it… I was sorry I missed out, but I’m glad he was able to cheer for you for both of us! (And I have this cute mental image of O smiling and saying serenely, “Turnabout is fair play.”) ^_^
It’s funny how differently people view themselves. I doubt anyone other than you could even think the word “undeserving” in the same thought as you.
Congrats again!
Too Kewl… it hasn’t even hit the Pelican’s list yet….sigh…
Who was the other M?
Congratz! Tres cool!
@Glitter_Viking - Myfanwy – they’re making her at Bryn Gwlad at the end of the month. I didn’t particularly want to sit vigil, so I said to just go ahead last Saturday.
@Maaggie - Oh Tibor says ‘What??? It took them this long to make her???” and Thomas said … “Maggie who?? *grin*”
Whoo-hoo!! Congrats! (haha! You have to sit in a cir-cle!)
Hey – I like the new look. Very Beatles-ish!
I hate to be a follower but Congrats and it’s about time.
You have no idea how happy this makes me. I must echo childsplay7′s quote about it taking this long. You’re presence is magnetic, and you truly deserve this great honor.
Oh come on!
You know your influence on the SCA. You can deny it no more than I, my dear.
It’s well deserved – past time for it – and your voice is greatly listened to and esteemed, even if not always by those who should listen the most.
Plus, I ditto what MCC said – HAHA, You have to sit in a cir-cle!
Love you and miss you dear. Wish I coulda been there. I’d have jumped in after Avery.
@texas2to5 - I was sorry you missed it too, but I would rather have you out of the night air and resting that feeling poorly. Oh, and as to O being serene about it – I think “indecently gleeful” would be closer to the mark.
@SouthernRector - Love you and miss you too! Things are going well? Email me directly and bring me up to date! maaggie1 at gmail dot com.
Well done. Others have seen you as their peer.. for years.

Very well-deserved, IMO. Congrats!!!!!!
not sure if to hug and congradulate first or point and laugh like a mad man…hmmm have to think about that.
BTW-get a comfy chair to bring to circle some can be kinda………..ummm….long
Your question to Colsith-dunno about any others but I spoke for Kief way back when.
Huggzzz
