Your result for The Imaginary-Job Employment Test...
Leprechaun Hunter!
23 Humor, 19 Skill and 18 Morality!
Wow, you're a difficult case.
You scored right in the middle on EVERYTHING, so we really had to work on finding an imaginary job for you.
By our calculations, you'll need a little luck to get ahead... that's why we think you'd make a good leprechaun hunter. All you have to do is move to Ireland and keep a watch out for anything small and green! The beauty part is, they'll do the rest...
Just remember not to trust them when you catch them, and you'll be raking in pots of gold in no time....

I'm trying to collect different formats for fencing tourneys. I'm asking you to post your favorite or most original tourney that you either came up with or fought in. Please tell me how it was organized and I'll apply credit to you. I'm trying to put this together both for my own benefit and for others.
Thanks!

The boss asked what he could offer to make me stay. I gave him a number for my salary, but I don't think he's going to go for it. Doesn't matter anyway. Time for me to go back to my field.

Mercenary Dark Age of Camelot.
Mutante has bid us all farewell. As we share this news with you the
Valkyrie's are filling Mutante's cup, as he is sits next to Odin, in
the halls of Vallahalla.
This is a forward I recieved this morning before I went into work. Mutante passed away on Tuesday, 10/7 from natural causes.
He was a good friend from my Stonemarche days and was very good at intimidating the guys who flirted with me when I was a teenager. He wasn't hard to miss on the heavy list field, standing about 6'7" and was fun to party with.
Mutie was always great for a hug and I looked forward to seeing him every Birka so I could catch up with him.
It's hard to say goodbye.

Yeah, I'd admit it. This is one show I'm absolutely hooked on.
The women look much stronger as a team then the men this year; although the men do have some good competitors.
I love watching the dances getting more difficult and seeing the progression of skill. I'll honestly admit I am horrible about critiquing the dancers as well. :)
I'd love to take ballroom and Latin dance classes, but unfortunately my schedule doesn't really allow for it right now.
So, I think I'll be cheering for Jane Seymour because she's so elegant and classy; Mel B because she looks like she'll have fun like Laila Ali did last season. Helio is definitely a front runner with Julianne Hough as his partner and then it'll be a toss up between Mark Cuban because he had fun and the model (can't remember his name) teamed up with Anna.

I was a little apprehensive seeing as it was about four weeks since I've actually fought (at Pennsic I only participated in one battle and didn't get in any pickups). But hey, I didn't suck! I was definitely rusty, but that can get better.
For everyone who showed up and are on LJ--thank you!! Sorry I didn't get to fight everyone, but we only had so much time.
Can't wait for next week!

I stumbled on www.scaboots.com. The boots look decent, they're inexpensive, and the treads seem okay (pictures under the men's boots). Has anyone here on my list ever ordered from them? Otherwise, does anyone have any recommendations for good boots?
Thanks!

I've found myself reaching for my Celtic music and it's an entertaining mix of classic and modern celtic music. Glengarry Bhoys are right next to the Irish Rovers, Loreena McKennett are being followed by Dropkick Murphys. But, I want to expand my horizons. I greatly enjoy the Celtic punk that's been developing, but I grew up singing along with the Makem brothers. So, what other bands are out there?
What kind of Celtic music do YOU listen to? Any recommendations? Why?
Thanks!

The Count of Monte Cristo with Jim Cavazel
I have no clue how accurate the fencing bouts are in the movie, but they're a lot of fun to watch.
So, a question to go out to my friends: What movies do you like to watch for the swordfight scenes?
I figure this will give me a fun list of movies to track down and watch as well. :)

To Date:
1) Knit animals for all the babies. I've got a bird and a mouse done. They go surprisingly fast, once you sit down and concentrate. I was almost hoping these would be a traveling project, but I don't think so with all the little pieces and having to refer constantly to the patterns. I am having fun with using up my bits and pieces of brightly colored yarns (thank goodness!) but will have to start buying more soon since a lot of my stash is laceweight. Anybody willing to trade skeins?
2) Knit shawl. I found this beautiful cranberry tweed cotton blend I've been making into a nice shawl. I think it's going to end up about two yards long and about a foot wide. However, it's so soft--I think the person I'm making it for will really like it.
3) Counted cross stitch. Two very good friends of mine are getting married next October and I found a beautiful pattern for them. It looks like a stained glass picture of two lovers about to kiss. It'll be gorgeous when it's done, but I know I have to get my a** in gear so it will be ready. I think that's the plan for this weekend. Buying the colors, fabric and getting it laid out and started (hopefully!).
4) Blackwork. I got two blackwork books for the holidays and since I enjoy Cross stitch so much, figured this would be good. I had some cross stitch fabric that has the ends finished (like a belt or trim) that I've started a pattern on. I think this will be a good traveling/eventing project. It's certainly portable and since I've got the pattern started at one end, all I do is continue it.
**This past weekend at Crown Tourney I saw a woman with a gorgeous headscarf that was decorated with blackwork. It was unbelievable! I just wish I had asked her about it.
5) Garb. I know this is a continual thing for me. I'm still building up my amount of fencing clothes as well as wenchgear. I'm also thinking about a couple of saris for Pennsic this year--comfort is a good thing!
Who has time to work? :)

I took myself out to the park in town, very nice with walking trails and a little stream running through the middle of it. Brought a picnic lunch, a blanket and my book. Heaven! I did motivate to walk the trails and get a bit of exercise in, I think about two miles worth. It was great to just lie in the sun (covered up so I wouldn't burn to a crisp), read and enjoy the spring air.
I even indulged and walked into town to get my first ice cream cone of the season. :)
Why won't my boss let us work outside on nice days? All I'd need would be a laptop, portable fax machine, phone and headset. Oh yeah, patients. And the doctors. Man, why can't they work outside too? :P

So, I've been feeling like I'm slacking on being creative. I just finished a really nice cross stitch project that will be a gift, I have about three different knitting projects sitting around staring at me and lots and lots of ideas.
Yup, I picked up a new project. :)
Stuffed animals.
But not just any stuffed animals. Knit stuffed animals. So far I've managed to complete a mouse and a bird. They're very cute and I figure will come in great for all the babies that are appearing. It's a lot of fun, trying something new. I figure I'll keep on working on these and develop a big menagerie so when it's time for another baby present, just grab a couple animals and they'll be all set. Also, this is great for using up all the left over balls of yarn I have!
If knitters out there have some good websites where they have found knit animal patterns, please let me know! You may get a knit animal as a thank you! :)

It was extremely low key and maybe a little introverted since the only people I conversed with were my roommate, my family as I wished them a long distance Happy Easter/Passover, and staceyspins when she invited me out yesterday. Not that I didn't want to go, but I really had to concentrate on stuff here at the house.
I watched some classic movies they've had on TV this weekend around my chores. Memories from my childhood, let me tell you. Chitty chitty bang bang, The Sound of Music and even the Neverending Story. My roommate groaned a bit when I burst into song when stumbling across The Sound of Music Friday night (just when they were doing the Do-Ray-Mi song). But, honestly, I couldn't help it. The whole family grew up singing, especially when it came to musicals.
Those types of songs and movies, the classic happy ever after with lessons, I can't wait to share with the children in my life as they get older. My niece, C and E, C and A for when their parents take me up on the babysitting offer :P, and the other babies that I'm sure will come along.
I can't wait to sing along with them to Mary Poppins, Annie, The Sword in the Stone, and more. Their enjoyment, and the enjoyment of other kids I've babysat for who have watched and sang with these movies, remind me of what it was like to be a kid.

Wilhelm apparently got the recipe from my roommate, so I'm able to pass it along.
Danish Oatcakes:
1 stick butter
1/4 cup sugar OR 1/4 cup honey or 1/4 cup white karo --apparently last night they used both-that's why it was so sweet
2 cups Quaker Quick Oats
1/4 teaspoon vanilla (optional)
Melt butter in skillet, being careful not to burn it. Add sugar and stir. Add oats, stirring until brown--about 5-10 minutes. Remove from heat, add vanilla and honey or white karo at this time.
Rinse a muffin tin in cold water, shake out excess water, then pack in oat mixture, dividing into 12 or more cups. Press down firmly with a glass to solid cake 3/4 inch thick.
Refrigerate 3 hours. Loosen by running a knife around edges of tin.
Makes about 1 dozen cakes.

Mudthaw seemed to go very well yesterday. I spent my morning in the kitchen helping D with her delicious dayboard, and then snuck outside for a bit to watch the fighters, hang out with fencing friends, and flirt where I could.
I got to see a lot of people, which was very cool. The babies are getting bigger and they're still as cute as ever.
I didn't bother bringing my fencing gear because I knew I had volunteered to work a lot of the event. Kind of silly to bring it and not use it, right?
I served feast with friends and had fun. Of course, I had to warn Malcolm away from flirting with the crazy lady. Although, it was very entertaining. :) Edmund dragged me into the dancing, which I haven't participated in for about 12 years.
And, I caught sight of a new guy who could be fun to flirt with. Of course, being told his name is "Eric the Naked", for his habit of doffing his clothing at the drop of a hat, is a little disconcerting, but could be fun to play with.
I was exhausted by the end of the night and slept in quite a bit today. I skipped the Flemington practice, but since I was told we've got a new site starting up soon, I'm very excited about that!
For everyone I got to hang out with yesterday, yea! For those who didn't make it, we missed you!
