A few very quick notes on 12th night

[isabelladangelo]

Things I've learned:

Try, try, not to give in when someone says "They sound like they are having fun." :-) (I pretty much had a huge grin on my face, tore off a piece of bread and smacked it right at Aularia...and it ricocheted off her and hit Lina too. I got double points! Thank God we where in the back and surrounded by people who would just shake their heads at us.)

Globes cannot be included in heraldry. (Darn it!...oh...but wait...I just thought of something else.....::evil grin::)

Twirling is fun. It's even more fun when you have five or six other people twirling just to see who can make their skirt puff out the most.

My skirt counted as a "tuffet". (Part of our silliness at one point in the night was to pull out my skirt and see how long it would stay because the fabric held it's shape due to the stiffness. And then we all sat down on the floor because umm...well, at that point we were probably way past "hyper" into "punch drunk" and all giggling.)

Coconut Rum, Orange Soda, and cookies are a dangerous combination. Extremely yummy, but dangerous. (After party, not at the school.)

Non-alcoholic wine tastes like sour grapes.

There is no difference between the SCA and High School. At all. :-D

My fandoms can so collide. And will. Darn it!

Lol. Funny I was thinking the same thing about some of the Star Wars costume groups recently...

I think every group has some of that; it was just very apparent at 12th night since we were in a High School. Being surrounded by red lockers and seeing some of the nonsense (As well as hearing about a lot more afterwards!) really just made me realize how High School everything is. It amused me, personally.

Then I don't want to be in the SCA. I was happy to graduate beyond high school and leave it behind me.

The second High School I went to was amusing...just like the SCA is amusing. You definitely have your cliques, which everyone knows about. You have your jocks, cheerleaders, bookworms, class clowns, status clinging brats, groupies, band members...everything that existed in High School. I, personally, find it funny. My only theory is that, given the social awkwardness that is normally assumed and associated with members of the SCA (aka, geekery), that many can't psychologically get over High School and can't mature past the point they had gotten to in High School. It really would be a fascinating psychological case study... Although, I'd love to do an anthropological report on the SCA. Maybe when I go back to grad school....
