SkyeDS: ciao bella, how was your sick day?
evile: good :) 				How was your weekend?
SkyeDS: well, the usual drama plus some, 				but otherwise quite lovely
SkyeDS: the boys competed for the 				first time
SkyeDS: Sonar0m won beginners and sineater won 				intermediate
evile: cool :)
SkyeDS: against fields of five 				and four respectively, I'm very proud 
of them both
evile: 				awesome!
SkyeDS: they made a photo CD, and there are lots of 				pics of the boys, 
the girls and Arthur, so we ordered 				one
SkyeDS: I worked half a day Thursday
evile: 				*nods*
SkyeDS: during which Sharjinka msged sineater with 				drama, which he then 
pasted to me
evile: oh yuck.
evile: 				what kind of drama??
SkyeDS: about the horses
SkyeDS: same 				shit different day
evile: oh, feh.
SkyeDS: we went out 				there a couple of weekends ago, rode down the 
hike & bike 				trail, they were fighting down in the hollow, and they 
spilled 				out of the hollow, across the hike & bike trail, nearly ran 				
over us, and then complained that we were in their 				way.
evile: aha.
SkyeDS: and nobody bothers to say a word 				to us, no, because you see 
I'm so hard to talk to.
SkyeDS: 				so they say it to Sharjinka, who then says it to sineater
SkyeDS: 				no names of course
evile: Imagine what the poor shmucks trying 				to hike or bike must have 
been going through..
SkyeDS: 				THANK YOU!
SkyeDS: and the women with children in strollers 				
evile: heh.
SkyeDS: this is a big reason I left last 				time
SkyeDS: so I did a Cheney
evile: ?
SkyeDS: and a 				Rhett
SkyeDS: "frankly my dear, I don't give a 				damn
SkyeDS: and "fuck you"
SkyeDS: I told 				sineater if Sharjinka has problems with the horses, I am 
the 				final word on the horses, and she knows that, she needs to come 				
to me
SkyeDS: and from now on, no more 2/3/4th hand 				bullshit
SkyeDS: where someone goes to her, she goes to him, 				he comes to me
SkyeDS: if he comes to me, and says "somebody 				else said", I'm not 
going to discuss it further (and I'm 				going to be pissed, at him, 
because he knows better)
evile: 				ugh.
SkyeDS: if Sharjinka comes to me, and says "somebody 				else said", I'm 
going to tell her, well, you tell them 				to come talk to me
SkyeDS: if they're that scared of big bad 				Skye (rofl)
evile: *nods* exactly.
SkyeDS: then you can 				come with them
SkyeDS: I'm like a man in a lot of ways a lot 				of times
SkyeDS: Kaleon used to call me Ms Fix it
SkyeDS: 				and it wasn't a compliment
SkyeDS: if you come to me with a 				problem
SkyeDS: in addition to listening sympathetically (like 				a woman) if I 
can, I will try to help fix it (like a 				man)
SkyeDS: so I don't know what Sharjinka wanted to 				accomplish by 
complaining to us
evile: bizarre.
SkyeDS: 				she didn't say
SkyeDS: so my response was, fine, no more 				riding privileges for 
Drandmir and we'll go down to the other 				end of the park
SkyeDS: because I didn't know what other 				response they wanted, 
because they didn't offer a 				solution
SkyeDS: and oh, Sharjinka did NOT like that 				solution
evile: heh. of course not.
SkyeDS: "keep the 				horses off the battlefield"
evile: no more potential for 				drama.
SkyeDS: we weren't on the battlefield, we were on the 				trail
SkyeDS: "well, sometimes the trail is part of the 				battlefield"
evile: *nods*
SkyeDS: that's a lawsuit 				waiting to happen when you nearly run over a 
mundane the way 				you nearly ran over us.
evile: yup.
SkyeDS: you nearly run 				over a mundane with a rottie, a chow or a pit 
like that and 				you've got bigger problems than the horses.
evile: 				indeed.
SkyeDS: so then it went to, "ok as long as you're 				on the trail you're 
fine"
SkyeDS: yeah well, 				that'
SkyeDS: s where we WERE
SkyeDS: "fuck you" 				and "frankly my dear I don't give a damn" are 				
amazingly and refreshingly liberating
evile: *nod*
SkyeDS: 				I told sineater to ask her what else was wrong, and sure 
enough 				"I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!!!!"
SkyeDS: 				figures
evile: Well, that's a good way to solve ones problems, 				isn't it? Oh 
well...
SkyeDS: what did you do this 				weekend?
evile: Sharjinka's bday saturday, couch 				shopping,errands, & roller 
derby with Sweetie 				Sunday.
SkyeDS: shopping :)
evile: We did not find a couch. 				But we may have a new one in time for 
Mom & [Sister H]'s 				visit...hopefully.
SkyeDS: hope they have a good time. It's 				already headed towards 
ungodly hot
SkyeDS: but then by now 				usually it's a lot hotter than this, so 
perspective I 				guess
evile: *nod* I just about passed out last night at 				Thunderdome.
evile: Some hipster asshat parents had infant in 				stroller out at this 
event. Pepole, when *I* care more about 				the health and well being of 
your offspring, it's a good 				chance that you SHOULD NOT have bred nin 
the first 				place....
SkyeDS: one might think that parents get a gene to 				help them with 
their parenting instincts
SkyeDS: but 				apparently not
SkyeDS: they shot off fire crackers right next 				to the horses at 
TripleAA
SkyeDS: and then they had these 				kids running around in a go cart that 
weren't supposed to be 				there
evile: Let's take a babe-in-arms to an event that's HOT, 				Humid, full 
of various kinds of smoke, fire-eaters, 40,000 				decibel satan music 
full of god-damns and fucks, and people 				whizzing around on skates. 
Yeah...
evile: ugh. 
SkyeDS: 				and then the usual mundanes riding their horses right through 				
the middle of camp
evile: *nods*
SkyeDS: 1100 people 				there
evile: wow.
SkyeDS: 200 or 300 of which were 				kids
evile: *shudder*
SkyeDS: lots of accident potential 				with mundane horses and gocarts, 
etc.
SkyeDS: when they 				set off the fireworks and I realized *where* they 
were 				setting them off, I ran from the feast hall in skirts all the 				
way back to camp
SkyeDS: to discover the head marshal's 				horse loose
SkyeDS: and nobody there
SkyeDS: what are 				people thinking?
evile: I thought I'd descended into the 				lowest level of hell when J-Law 
& I took that godawful 				Carnival cruise. But, no. There's a Carnival 
Cruise themed 				'goth'. Oh, okay, th ere's the bottom of the barrel. 
No, 				apparently several of the Goths are bringing their offspring. 				
Okay, that's HELL.
SkyeDS: poor kids :(
evile: People 				just don't think...that's the main problem.
evile: I am 				waiting for government creches instead of nuclear 
families to 				raise children...more and more parenting duties are being 				
foisted off on the schools as-is, why not just take the 				little 
dumplings off to government facilities as soon as 				they're born?
SkyeDS: I still think that making parents who 				want good educations 
for their kids, pay for private schools 				or home schooling on top of 
public schools is wrong
SkyeDS: 				I think making people who choose not to have kids pay for 
public 				schools is wrong
SkyeDS: and I still think that privatizing 				schools would solve a lot 
of problems
evile: *shrug* 				Having children is a lifestyle choice.
SkyeDS: then the 				schools would be more answerable to the parents who 
actually 				give a damn
evile: I dont' think it's any more wrong to ask a 				parent who wants 
private school to pay for it than it is to 				ask a boat-owner to pay 
for his spot in the marina.
SkyeDS: 				"but what are we going to do with the children of parents 				who 
don't give a damn?"
SkyeDS: well, they're 				problems ANYWAY already
evile: kill them.
SkyeDS: and 				confiscating wealth to pay for government babysitters 
isn't 				working now is it
evile: I will probably wholehaartedly 				embrace the Facist president 
who actually wants to kill 				undesirables...
SkyeDS: if I pay for my own slot in the marina 				fine
SkyeDS: but I don't want to pay taxes so that you can 				have a slot in 
the marina for free
evile: Unfo, we have no 				say in what our taxes are spent on, other 
than (perhaps) 				voting.
SkyeDS: we pay more taxes now than we went to war with 				England over 
in the first place
evile: yup.
SkyeDS: I 				would just like the right to fire people when they don't do 
what 				I paid them to do, and do it right
evile: yeah.
SkyeDS: 				nice thought for you
SkyeDS: those little kids exposed to all 				that stuff, are going to run 
the country some day
SkyeDS: 				and choose your nursing home for you
evile: I am hoping I will 				have enough $ saved (by not having kids) to 
take care of 				myself and choose my own nursing home. And if I ever 
feel my 				mind seriously slipping, hope to god I have the wherewithal 
to 				off myself with some dignity instead of letting little 				entitlement 
shits abuse me for years first.
SkyeDS: I 				think we're going to Mexico and probably do highly immoral, 				
highly illegal, ungodly profitable things.
evile: *nods* 				so sineater told me.
SkyeDS: I need my own island.
SkyeDS: 				if I can't just be dictator ;)
evile: on the BRATpage we often 				talk about our 'cf island'....but 
even that would not be 				perfect. As evidenced by the local NK! group. 
I can't imagine 				living on an island with people like that.... :P
SkyeDS: you 				know that peerage titles, even "Lady" have to be earned 				
in the SCA right?
SkyeDS: so hoardes of children were 				following me all around this 
weekend, calling me "Lady 				Skye"
evile: heh.
SkyeDS: they have conferred the 				title and they don't give a damn what 
the grownups do with 				their titles, lol
evile: oh well.
evile: As long as some 				adult doesn't get a bug up their butt about 
it, I guess it's 				OK>
SkyeDS: I kept trying to explain that "milady" 				was ok and "lady" 
wasn't, but it didn't take so I 				gave up
evile: heh.
SkyeDS: I hope we can find a shady 				place to set up at CRW
SkyeDS: still think K/mom might enjoy 				donning garb and doing stuff in 
the shade, for a little 				while
evile: I'm playing it by ear. I will present options. 				Whatever they 
want to do, we'll do.
SkyeDS: so apparently 				now the dogs at CRW have to be muzzled as well 
as 				leashed
SkyeDS: and PtA has problems with it (awwwww)
evile: 				heh. that's funny
evile: A bunch of Sharjinka's bday guests 				were Drandmirians. They 
talked a lot of HFS politics & 				about stuff on the boards, 
boooorrrrriiiiinnnnng!
SkyeDS: 				omg
SkyeDS: PtA flamed me
evile: really? he's such a people 				person...I'm so shocked that he 
would do such a 				thing...
SkyeDS: how LAME
SkyeDS: I rsvped using the format 				that Rita suggested, and he flamed 
ME
SkyeDS: I'm such an 				elusive and difficult target too.
evile: nice.
SkyeDS: 				impressive.
SkyeDS: you know how some of those people sign 				themselves right?
SkyeDS: with like six or seven lines of 				titles?
SkyeDS: so this is what Rita asked for:
SkyeDS: If 				we can ask, (for roleplay effect), the IC, OOC and titles 
of 				all persons that will be or might be 
attending. 
Example 				: 
Squire Baroness Eloisa MacEwen (Rita McCune) definite 				
evile: aha
SkyeDS: and I spoofed what she asked for, 				in an attempt to be 
humorous, and to poke gentle fun at the 				people who have six or seven 
titles after their names
SkyeDS: 				Skye ~ Bella L. Peregrina, Lovara Phuri Dae of the Kumpania 				
Peregina, Drandmir, definite 
Sonar0m ~ Marco Malamorph 				Peregrina of the Kumpania Peregrina, 
Drandmir, definite 				
Sineater ~ Sighieri Peregrina of the Kumpania Peregrina, 				Drandmir, 
definite 
Arthur Pendragon, tyrannomacaw rex 				of the Clan Macaw, definite 
Mirage Moonshadow, Hamdani 				Egyptian Arab, definite 
Jezebel the Firebreathing Battle 				Nightmare from Hell, oldschool 
gaited Morgan, definite 				
SkyeDS: it was a JOKE
evile: she seems like she's been 				pretty uptight lately. Pretty wound 
up about CRW, probably 				not in a very good frame of mind to get humor.
SkyeDS: oh and 				that's lovely.
SkyeDS: Bhurtok has minors going
SkyeDS: 				without their parents
SkyeDS: oh Rita didn't say a 				word
SkyeDS: it was PtA
SkyeDS: who felt the need to flame 				me because I was having a bit of 
gentle fun
SkyeDS: matter 				of fact, Rita smacked him, in her own way for doing it
evile: 				well, honestly, consider the source & blow it off.
SkyeDS: 				but he's too dense ot get it
SkyeDS: I think I'll go riding 				past him at CRW and ask him if he 
found a muzzle for his 				dog
evile: You know...if someone you RP with has a long or 				unmanagable 
name/title...you can just blow it off if it is 				too much effort to 
remember. Much more polite than to make 				fun or be ugly about it.
SkyeDS: I wasn't making impolite fun 				of anybody
SkyeDS: I was spoofing the tradition
SkyeDS: AND 				I wasn't too far off from the example Rita set
evile: No, I 				was talking about PtA's slam.
SkyeDS: oh
evile: It was 				mean-spirited and uncalled-for.
SkyeDS: well yeah
SkyeDS: 				as most of the stuff he does is
SkyeDS: I can't believe 				they're taking a boatload of minors without 
parents to 				CRW
evile: why do people continue to use his site? He's such a 				JERK.
evile: If anything goes wrong, thisll be the last CRW, 				and maybe the 
end of HFS.
SkyeDS: I can't let minors ride 				without parental signatures
evile: *nods*
SkyeDS: I don't 				care what waivers they bring with them
SkyeDS: so guess who's 				gonna be the bad guy and probably asked not to 
come back and 				not allowed to vend anymore. oh well.
evile: burn that bridge 				when you come to it, I'd say. the waivers are 
for your 				protection, not for HFS or the kids'.
evile: There are plenty 				of gracious ways to hold your boundaries & 
insist on 				upholding your own standards of behavior even if the people 				
around you aren't respectful of that.
SkyeDS: I am just 				surprised because usually I fly under everybody's 
radar
SkyeDS: 				because I don't fight
evile: *nods*
SkyeDS: and since I"m 				not a stick jock, I am just so much unworthy 
dirt beneath ye 				olde pisspot
SkyeDS: but that's fine
SkyeDS: when I can 				afford to, I'm going to build the boys an entire 
jousting 				list
SkyeDS: and then we're going to start taking it to HFS 				events
evile: cool.
SkyeDS: and we're going to leave PtA 				and his drama in the dust
evile: yup!
SkyeDS: although what 				still takes the cake is him flaming Katy of all 
people
SkyeDS: 				how stupid was that
evile: yup.
SkyeDS: that's like flaming 				Mary Poppins or Mother Theresa.
SkyeDS: even I"M more 				interpersonally politically astute than that, 
good 				gawd.
evile: maybe he just wasn't getting enough attention by 				picking on 
obscure folks.
SkyeDS: lol it's like the Ron 				White joke about deer hunting
evile: *shrug* Mungo no know Ron 				White joke.
SkyeDS: I'd ruin it by trying to tell it
SkyeDS: 				I think sineater ripped it so I will show it to you if we have 				it
evile: aha. ok.
SkyeDS: the gist of it is, deer aren't 				hard to hunt
SkyeDS: all you need is to slow the bullet down 				to 55 mph, put 
headlights on it, and the deer will jump out 				in front of it :P
evile: heh. 
SkyeDS: I'm about as hard a 				target to hit as a deer in headlights, is 
what I was getting 				at
evile: aha.
evile: So what does the L. stand 				for?
SkyeDS: Luna.
evile: aha. OK. Just curious.
SkyeDS: 				the Romany usually have a "secret" name.
evile: 				oh.
SkyeDS: and sineater never wanted me to add it
SkyeDS: 				so I compromised, and use it as an initial
evile: 				*nods*
SkyeDS: another scary thought
SkyeDS: PtA and 				Tiffany already have one child
evile: ick.
SkyeDS: and 				nothing to stop them from breeding more
evile: Oh well. I have 				a costco card, I can get bbq sauce in bulk. No 
problem. Bring 				on the evil offspring!!
SkyeDS: <grin>
evile: Oh, 				speaking of evil, the lastest 'get rid of Paulie' scam is 
in 				progress: the apts they live in are 'closing' and their new place 				
is 'no pets'...F
evile: uck.
SkyeDS: ask them again if 				we can take Paulie.
evile: *everyone* is reminding them that 				Paulie has a home if it 
comes to that, and NOT to take him to 				the pound.
evile: I don't know what the point of this 				particular game is...who 
or what is trying to get who or what 				to do something ???
SkyeDS: /me looks like one of Bill Cosby's 				brain damaged children, 
and says in a small bewildered voice 				"I don't know?"
evile: me neither.
evile: If he 				is going to be an ongoing problem, and there is a place 
for 				him to be that will NOT be a problem...why keep going back and 				
forth like this?
evile: Nobody's heard from them since the 				big fake breakup.
SkyeDS: let's kidnap him and shoot her in 				the face witha bazooka.
evile: Good plan. But he'd just dip 				into the cesspit and pull out 
another 'prize'
SkyeDS: too 				true
evile: some sort of deprogramming is in order....
SkyeDS: 				good f'ing luck
evile: *nods*
evile: I just don't know 				where all these skanks with personality 
disorders and golden 				pussies come from...
evile: sineater went thru his share in 				HS, so did [Brother A] pre-the Rubber Pig. So did 
my friend 				Pat for that matter. WTF.
SkyeDS: go figure
SkyeDS: got to 				deal with some of that drama this weekend
SkyeDS: the 19 yo 				that's chasing sineater around has a boyfriend that she 
doesn't 				want to talk about
SkyeDS: and she can't or won't say whether 				or not her chlamydia is 
present tense or past tense
evile: 				Seems that creativity/nonconformist and the mentally ill skank 				
personality have some sympathetic points.
SkyeDS: and she 				spent the entire weekend demonizing me to everyone 				
around
SkyeDS: and of course everyone came running to 				me
evile: nice.
SkyeDS: but the biggest mistake she 				made
SkyeDS: was sitting under the equestrian pavilion all 				day
SkyeDS: and running her mouth around the Eq marshals, who 				are my 
friends
evile: ugh. smart girl.
SkyeDS: and so 				that's the end of that.
SkyeDS: I told sineater, no 				go.
SkyeDS: get rid of her.
evile: *nods*
SkyeDS: I told 				her simply this
SkyeDS: you have impulse control 				problems
SkyeDS: so no horses, ever again, don't ask
SkyeDS: 				and where I am concerned personally, if you don't do it 
again, 				we will be civil
SkyeDS: if you do do it again, I will crush 				you
SkyeDS: it won't be personal
SkyeDS: there will be no 				animosity
evile: Yup. sineater's a big boy, can take care of 				himself. you need to 
protect your critters 
SkyeDS: I'll 				just declare global thermonuclear warfare on you, you 
will be 				Hiroshima, and I'll sleep well at night.
evile: wow.
SkyeDS: 				I don't care anymore.
SkyeDS: it isn't a threat
SkyeDS: but 				if you hit me, again, I will hit you hard enough to teach 
you 				never to hit me again
SkyeDS: I didn't raise my voice
evile: 				*nods*
SkyeDS: I told her, you know, there are witnesses to 				what you said, I 
could go ask them, but i'm not going to, it 				isn't worth the effort
SkyeDS: I'm just going to tell you, 				don't do it again
SkyeDS: now if you didn't do it in the first 				place, you shouldn't 
have any problems not doing it
SkyeDS: 				if you did do it in the first place, you've been warned
evile: 				*nods*
SkyeDS: /me = big bad witch of the west, again, oh 				well
evile: sounds like she started it, talking smack about 				you to your 
freinds.
SkyeDS: hm
SkyeDS: woman shares 				her men with me
SkyeDS: shares her horses with me
SkyeDS: 				think I'll demonize her when she isn't looking
SkyeDS: well, I 				played nice
SkyeDS: nicer than most women would have been in 				my place
evile: Not bright. Not a bright girl at all.
SkyeDS: 				I'm not playing nice now
SkyeDS: and people need ot be aware 				that when they put me in a 
position where I can't play nice 				anymore
SkyeDS: they aren't going to like it
evile: 				yup.
SkyeDS: and you wonder why I'd rather be surrounded by 				children all 
day.
SkyeDS: you know what would be vastly 				entertaining
evile: *shudder*
SkyeDS: would be to set PtA 				right down in the middle of an SCA heavy 
melee
evile: when 				I die and go to h ell, there will be children following 
me 				around 
SkyeDS: and watch all the big boys eat up his scrawny 				little scrub 
chimp ass like rocks and spit him up as 				gravel.
evile: You've seen it enough times, I'm surprised you 				don't recognize 
Big Fish/Small Pond syndrome....
SkyeDS: I 				do
SkyeDS: that's why I think we should drop him in SCA heavy 				melee, 
sell tickets, popcorn, and film it
evile: There are 				plenty of people who have basically outgrown HFS and 
can't 				learn any more or improve anymore, but don't want to ttake the 				
chance to go to a next level.
evile: GWNN party this 				weekend. Being pestered to go. That's 
different. Most people 				could give a shit....
SkyeDS: GWNN parties sound like lots of 				fun
SkyeDS: mom called this morning before the 8 am lesson I 				don't know 
why I agreed to give every Monday, to make sure I 				was coming this 
weekend for the family reunion
evile: they 				are a moderate amount of fun. Voyagers is better, but 
outgrowing 				its beginnings & becoming a clique rather than a beginners 				
how-to group, IMHO.
evile: it's a nice 'out' for Sunday 				afternoon/evenings. "Gotta go, 
lesson tomorrow!"...get 				away from tedious people if you need.
SkyeDS: hehe that was 				fun
evile: ?
SkyeDS: Sharjinka likes drama so I did a little 				venting about PtA
SkyeDS: aired out all my oldie but goodie 				insults
SkyeDS: very childish, but very satisfying and she 				does make a good 
audience for that particular purpose
evile: 				heh.
SkyeDS: she's apparently decided to listen to what 				everyone's told 
her for years and ignore him
SkyeDS: but 				she was hoping they wouldn't come to CRW, and I said, 
well, 				they've been talking smack like they're coming
evile: she 				doesn't like Patrick either.
SkyeDS: she has more reason than 				anyone
SkyeDS: letter to PtA:
SkyeDS: dear PtA:
SkyeDS: 				how bout you and your tower belt and your dog, excuse me 				
girlfriend, meet me, my horse, and my fifteen foot lance 				tipped with 
live steel, on the battlefield. Wanna?
evile: 				d'oh.
SkyeDS: oh I understand, you feel a little peckerlength 				challenged up 
against my clit.
SkyeDS: and you're scared 				if I stand up in the saddle I can piss 
farther than 				you.
evile: eeps!
SkyeDS: I know, I'm bad
SkyeDS: <hands 				you the wet noodle and bends over.
evile: he wants 				attention...no point giving a troll what it wants.
SkyeDS: 				nope, which is why I compose them in my head, and they stay 				
there
SkyeDS: (for the most part)
evile: One very very 				effective (and hurtful) lesson I learned at 
DePauw: if 				something is offensive, ignore it.
evile: it is quite 				literally the WORST thing you can do to someone 
like 				PtA.
SkyeDS: I had no intention of posting that
SkyeDS: I 				just like to think them up in my head and giggle
evile: good. 				
evile: Sharjinka would actually post something...
SkyeDS: 				and say them to people close to me because they act 				shocked
SkyeDS: I so seldom let truly loose
SkyeDS: I do on 				very rare occasion enjoy taking out the verbal sword 
and 				playing connect the dots with some people's anatomies.
evile: 				heh.
SkyeDS: brb
