Okay so this past weekend was a big annual canoe trip that my sca friends do every memorial day weekend. I was lucky to be invited on this trip. Every little thing I get included with these people makes me happy because I always worry that I am annoying them. And when I get invited to things that are not SCA based, makes me fill more secure that my company is legitly enjoyed. It is very much an insecurity I have with all groups I hang out with. I have tried to get over this multiple times, but it is just something that I have grown to live with.
I had to leave the campsite a day early due to two of my best friends were moving back to PA. So, I needed to see them and hang out with them. I was disappointed I couldn't hang out longer with them, but the text I received that night was completely worth it.
I was hanging out with my two best friends and we were going out to have dinner and have one last hang out before they shipped out. I then see I received a text from Steve. (Steve is the knight that is kind of over my shire here in Starkville.)
The text read:
"We thought long and hard about it, and we finally have picked your adjective. You are 'enchanting'. Thanks for joining us this weekend."
i know. i know. Corny but completely made me smile. I don't think i have ever had that adjective tacked onto me. It was odd ... really odd. I will admit flattering as well, but I have never personally viewed myself this way, but I suppose I'm glad that is my adjective instead of like "loud", "obnoxious", or "annoying".
I really do love the SCA. It is a group where I don't feel like I have to hold back ever. I want to do a video about the SCA and what it has done for me, but we all know how I am... me? new video? never! haha
If any of you have a local Shire, you really should check it out. Some of the coolest people I have ever met, have come from that group. It's really great.

ps. Thinking about doing the month of videos for vidcon... mmm
pp. You should all plan on camping out with me next year at Gulf Wars. Even if you don't go look for your local shire... you should do gulf wars. it is amazing!
