GW: Ceremonial introductions & Parade, The Diamond Tourney, The Royal Hunt, and NS Court.
(there will be no real stories or much here due to I have not finalized them all)

This year I was asked to be part of the parade for opening ceremonies. Seeing as I was acting archery general for our kingdom I was also asked to hold one of the 12 banners our queen hand made for this exact moment. I was also given a baldric with the archery symbol on it and wore a quiver with arrows in it. The Queen had her Guard in it as well which He was part of.







 The Diamond Tourney
For this Tournament I believe each kingdom selects on Heavy and one Rapier fighter to represent their Kingdom. This year Cy and Vlad were chosen.



 NS Court

As a Kingdom we usually have one court just for us and a few Roaming ones throughout the week.






 The Royal Hunt

This is the third Royal Hunt our Kingdom has done. It started last year at this very same event. Basically one person is the "animal" of choice for hunting and I think it was 4 to 6 people could be the pack of dogs (which could not speak only bark) and there was a huntsman and a forester. Oh yes and its in the dark.

Hello Beautiful

How times have changed and how things that once were OK are not and no longer carry the same feeling or intent.  When you think of the word “woman” and do you automatically think bitch or hussy, baggage or bit? According to various traditional dictionaries, synonyms for “woman”, which came as a bit of a shock, and possibly more insightful on why certain generations use words such as these to describe a woman. Today at my place of work a gentleman came up to my counter and said "Hello Beautiful" to me. Now, this customer does come in several times a week and is not a total stranger when I'm at work but still. He is in his 50-60s he works either in construction or as a big rig driver, not that any of this is very relevant but it is a generational thing I have noticed amongst folks that speak like that. "'Hello, gorgeous'; 'hi, honey bun or sweetheart, can you get me a coffee?' No man would ever be called sweetheart, ever, in the workplace," T...

Rock, Paper, Control

The feeling of no control. No control over my mental health, my weight, or my physical health. I like to have things planned and organized because that give me some control in my life. I feel though, like those little things are just pieces of paper with a rock on them on a windy day, soon they to will be out of my control. I once had control over my health and weight, but that was nearly 14 yrs ago. Each year I advance in age I loose more and more control over those two things. No Dr. or specialist seem to know why. Back when I had control, my weight would fluctuate but nothing substantial. I was a ball of anxiety and stress back then as well, so nothing there changed. I was more active in those days, doing all the things all the time. Not sure if that was to hide from my brain weasels or having to go home and be around my mother. In college I had around 4 to 5 part time jobs, 16 to 18 credits a semester, homework for both art and academic classes, a significant other, a flourishing g...
