I read that line recently and it really is fairly true in my case.
My name is Cindi and I use the ID Glencairn. I came across ATS by accident a bit ago while looking through the results of a google search on
something completely unrelated, or so I thought. I started reading based just on the snippet from the search result. Then I was hooked and decided
to join. I love the discussions and intelligence that I found. Unfortunately, those are both sadly lacking in many forum settings. What a
refreshing change of pace!
I am a SAHM of one and I am enjoying it while I can. My little beastly (hand to God, she tagged herself with that nick) is growing up fast and loves
helping me with my crafts and hobbies around the house now that she is a "big girl" and allowed to get into my craft/work room.
Those crafts and hobbies pretty much center around my main hobby...renaissance faire. I make my own jewelry for my garb and most of the jewelry that
my friends wear, too. Once in a while I'll even get motivated enough to list some of it on Ebay when I want to buy new garb. I also sew beadwork
onto costumes for myself, family, and friends. I discovered that I'm not too bad at it and I love playing with different types and colors of
beads.
A rennie friend of mine sent this to me. I don't know if she wrote it or just read it somewhere, but it amused me then based on how stunningly
accurate it is!
Let me tell you Ren Fair has a loyal following of fans that not only attend the fair in full costumes and weaponry, they also immerse themselves in
full renaissance character, including old English dialects and accents. It's more than freaky. The Trekkie's have nothing on the Ren Fair
devoted.
I love music, but am particularly fond of musicals. I have always enjoyed acting in the local community summer musicals and I love singing. It, and
reading, are my stress relievers.
Telling any more about me turns this post from a short novella into full length feature film size, so I'll spare you that and just say that I'm
happy to have found this forum and am glad to be here!
Take care,
Cindi
