  • 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.

  • Fabulous! Well-deserved, IMO. Congratulations!

  • Congratulations!

  • @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.

  •  Oh I wish I could have been there!  Welcome sister.

  • 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
