[Artemisia] TV shows - OT - Weirdo's

[Cheryl Robertson]

I too will proudly count myself among the weird people. But I am very happy
and a better person for being that "weirdo.  The happiest days of my life
(aside from meeting Mikhail and David, and having the kids) have been
spending it with my "weird family".

I own more SCA garb than any other clothing EVER!!  I spend more money on
the household encampment than I do on my own house and it looks better too
(LOL). 

I have always considered my self just a bit weird and since being in the SCA
I can say that and not get strange looks.... Well maybe not always (ok stop
laughing Liam).

Just my take on this.  I love being Weird and don't think I'd like being
NORMAL, takes the fun out of life.

P.S. Sir Conrad....I prefer the Elizabethan to the suit ANY DAY (especially
the snug hose!!)  Love ya C
