SCA grumble

Excuses I hate to have leveled in my direction;

"It's the Society for CREATIVE Anachronism! That's in our name!"

"We have ANACHRONISM in the name!"

"It isn't as if you were submitting it for an Arts and Sciences competition."

"They could have done it that way."

(paraphrased here)
"Not everything period was documented. Period people had common sense. If they wanted or needed _______ of course they would have made one. That none have been found by archeologists yet is not your fault."

"The SCA is just a game, a hobby.."

.... so therefore, history be damned. Do whatever you want.


What if what I want is to actually do things that are historically correct? What if that give me joy? How hard is it to understand and support that?

(no subject)

I have wasted five hours on my computer, mostly reading LiveJournal (I'm far behind in my reading) or the Book of Faces. Or the news. Or email. Or playing basic graph-based games...

Perhaps I really should get back to sewing the trim on the left side of the Rus coat I'm planning on wearing this weekend? Maybe?
