divinite1. What is your SCA name? (You don't have to write the full name, just your first name if you want.)
Christina O'Cleary
2. What is your home kingdom?
Caid
3. Have you ever lived in another kingdom? If so, where?
No
4. Do you remember your first SCA event? When/what was it?
First encounter with the SCA was a baronial council meeting in August 2001. First event was GWW that same year.
5. Do you have any awards? (You don't have to list them if you don't want)
Yes Argent Arrow, Dolphin, AoA, Lion's Paw
6. Do you list them after your name in communications like e-mail?
I might sign Lady Christina, but I'm more likely to include offices that are applicable.
7. Do you have a device?
Yes. Arms (Vert, on a pale betressed or, three nettle leaves vert) and I'm currently redesigning my badge
8. Do you use it? On what?
Arms yes, badge no so much (yet)
9. Are you on all the kingdom/society lists available to you, or do you avoid them?
Not all, but a couple
10. Do you keep your Pennsic/Estrella/Gulf Wars/etc. site tokens?
Yes, on a nail in my closet
11. Do you keep the favours you've been given by royalty/friends/Sos, etc.? Do You wear them all?
Yes. No.
12. Do you call your friends by their SCA names even when you're not at an event?
Yes, especially if I don't know their legal name
13. Do you go out to dinner in garb after an event?
Sometimes. If the majority of the group isn't changing, I won't. Or if I didn't bring anything else.
14. Do you have all kinds of garb, or do you generally stick to one period?
A few kinds, but I almost exclusively wear early period (10th Century Irish)
15. How many interests do you have within the SCA? What's your favourite?
Many! I keep picking things up that I want to learn and some stick. My favorite and longest standing is archery.
16. Do you have an SCA-oriented web site (to show off projects, keep dress diaries, etc.)? Seventharrow.com is mostly archery oriented, but I put event pictures and things like that there. This LJ tends to get used to show off projects or other things on occasion.
17. Do you maintain a hairstyle that is more period style than modern?
Had it long when I was doing 14th century briefly. As soon as that was over I went and did Locks of Love.
18. Do you tell "No $###, there I was" stories? (Admit it.) Do any of them involve well-known SCA people?
Sometimes, mostly not, but occasionally.
19. Authenticity is Fun. Yes or no? Why?
Yes. It ends up looking better usually for the same cost. I don't get obsessive about it because I can't afford some things yet (pavilion, furniture, etc) and don't have a car that would hold them anyway.
20. Is there one modern thing at events that really bugs you?
Amplified instruments when they aren't necessary. There's no need to play so loudly the crowd can't hear a conversation or the next camp over can't sleep.
Bonus Question! 21. Everyone has a shameful garb/accessory mistake hidden somewhere in their past. What's yours? (We're all friends here, we promise not to laugh. Much.)
My first garb was what I wore to ren faire. It wasn't very good ren faire though. It was a peasant outfit with a bodice that almost fit right. There's a picture somewhere, oh the shame.
