ickaimpSo I had to leave a little early, due to rain, impending dusk, and the fact my scooter has no headlights. Was a good day, first time Judging, was a little nervous, but it wasn't as bad as antipated.
Came home and Sean looks up from WoW and asks how it went.
"Congratulations." Was my deadpan response. "That's LADY Poisoner to you, bub."
Only appropriate, since he's the who started the whole 'poisoner' thing. I'm still not allowed to cook at home. Mwhahahahaha.
-Got an AoA (Award of Arms) and a name change at A&S today. The AoA means I'm now a 'Lady' in the SCA. This apparently came as a surprise to a great deal of the populace in attendace, as it was assumed that I already had one, having been playing in Tir Ysigthr since... um... late 2006, when I returned from Lochac where I started playing. ^^;;
To be honest, I'm still a lot confused why I got one. In Lochac, it wasnt uncommon to get one after 10 years. In Atenveldt, I watched a lot of people get one after playing a year or so. After a while just figured either I'd fucked up or I was on Lochac time and it'd be another 5 years if I was fortunate enough to get one.
To be blunt and not ungrateful (as it was pointed out, it IS an honour just to be recognised) right now it feels a lot like being handed a sticking plaster rather than an award. 'Whoops, forgot about you, haha, here you go,' so having quite a bit of trouble processing it. The 'it's long overdue' comments really don't help.
Also uncomfortable by the 'Lady' thing, when after this time it's been very apperant that I'm not one. It's the basis for the 'I'm not a Lady' joke after all.
TL;DR - Not comfortable with this at all. Was happy keeping my head down and playing the game without wondering what I did wrong.
This is also me venting to get it out of my head, so if you did click the lj-cut and read this, please ignore my whinging and focus on the positive aspects instead.
Am highly amused that on the AoA, it reads 'Yasha the Poisoner'. Half of 'Icka! M. Chif' was bequithed to me, it's only right that half of my SCA name be bequithed as well. ^___________^ Gonna do a bit of research and make it offical. Do so love a good name joke.
Congratulations to Aimee for her Flower of the Desert and winning A&S Championship!!!
