Well, I am at a bit of a loss at what I can do to improve upon my possition as Baronial Champion.

I plan on trying a few things at pennsic but i didnt realy think much on it before now, and i know i should have.
After pennsic I plan on consentrating on what I can do to give my barony honors, and promote my lands and its populace.
One of the things I am planning is to challenge other barony champions formal style. and even much smaller ideas. as well as any imput i can get from others.
I have been a bit upset with my self for not putting more into this. The atmosphere and attitude is also a big part and I am worried I may come off as bragart or big headed. I dont want that.

For those that will, wish me well, in the upcoming pennsic tourney. Thanks.

RULES THAT GUYS WISHED WOMEN KNEW

1. If you think you're fat, don't ask us, we don't know how to answer.

2. Learn to work the toilet seat; if it's up, put it down.

3. Don't cut your hair. Ever.

4. Sometimes, we're not thinking about you. Live with it.

5. Get rid of your cat.

6. Saturday + Sunday = events. Learn this equation

7. Anything you wear is fine. Really.

8. Women wearing Wonder bras and low-cut blouses lose their right to complain about having their boobs stared at.

9. You have too many shoes.

10. Crying is blackmail.

11. Ask for what you want. Subtle hints don't work.

12. Mark anniversaries on a calendar.

13. "Yes" and "No" are perfectly acceptable answers.

14. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a lawyer.

15. Don't fake it. We'd rather be ineffective than deceived.

16. Anything we said six or eight months ago is inadmissible in an argument.

17. If you don't dress like the Victoria's Secret girls, don't expect us to act like soap opera guys.

18. If something we said can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad and/or angry, we meant the other one.

19. Let us ogle. If we don't look at other women, how can we know how pretty you are?

20. Don't rub the lamp if you don't want the genie to come out.

21. You can either ask us to do something OR tell us how you want it done, not both.

22. Christopher Columbus didn't need directions, and neither do we.

23. You have enough clothes.

24. Men are from earth; women are from earth. Deal with it.

25. Nothing says, "I love you" like sex.

and yes I recieved this from an SCA Friend, (smile)

Fopar week

Thu, 12 Jul 2007 03:20:44 GMT

well this week so far was a lil hit n miss for the most part.
I had set up for one of my work jobs for monday, but never got the call, i finaly get the call wed morn, but van didnt start, needed a new starter, so i call a friend to take me to the store to get a new starter, andhe doesnt show up, meanwhile i took the old starter out, after calling my friend up he tells me he was getting an oil change, hmmmm,,,,

I finally get a new starter and only took me 20 min to install it, works fine, but now brake warning comes on,, ill check fluid in the morning. The Jubilee Post thingy was this eve, i realy dont see the point in having that. we dont for any other event. Problem solving, well !! its a demo, stop calling it an event,, we dont get paid to do events unless we earn the money . besides, the fighting is a demo, but we run it like an war practice,, go figure,, the camping, we have tons of trouble, why, cause we call it an event. when they know its a state run demo...
getting ready for pennsic,, no not this week, its my fopar week, too many weird things.
have much sewing to do yet, cleaning stuff, garb laundry, weapon fixing and armor fixing,,
will have to wait till next week.
Ethyl,, might go, i dunno, Birch said maybe we can go together in my van, sounds good, but not planning on going at all untill i get a phone call from him. I would like to go.
Helped Dan (corban) with his armor tue, straitened out his dent, and added leather to attach his spaulders.
and of course as he Does Not Drink, he sure liked my home made mead. (smirks)
oh and adding to my fopar week, my amp is on the fritz..

A good day.

Monday was a very good day,
It started with a phone call, Daves trading post in pekin, built on a new addition and wanted me to come over and tape and testure it, then another Contractor called with a double garage for me to start on tue (today) as i did.

then I get a email from gintaras wanting to call me later that night about my marshals exam, Just after that I got a call from a lady friend wanting to meet up,

On my way to meet up with my lady friend, Ginbtaras calls , we go over a few questions and then tells me i passed .then I pull into my friends drive and spend an evening with her.

I am grinning from ear to ear,,))

lots to do, but mind is blank on writing here. too many plans, most unfinished. so i start a journal,, lol,
