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
