There is a hilarious back story for the title of this post…or at least it is hilarious to me, but either way I will divulge into the details of it like I always do. It hasn’t quite been a month since my last post, especially when you consider the fact that we are still in the month of March, but a fair amount of stuff has happened in that time as well. I’ve picked up two new games, Kingdom Come: Deliverance and Far Cry 5 and have managed to play them both a little. Last week, some stranger by the name of FranticJ3 decided to show up at my house and stay for a week. Magic and Borderlands shenanigans happened during this time. A few other things have happened since my last post where I recount my experiences as a new person in the world of the SCA. Like the fact I levelled up in real life.

No, I am not going to be giving it up entirely; I just realized that while having a schedule to keep to for publishing stuff is nice, I enjoy writing at my own free will (obligatory Rush reference goes here) much more than I thought I did. Plus it allows me to be more relaxed with my style and I can put in subtle (Read: stupid) references like the previous one that is a nod to the band Rush. I have already started bringing back some of the more serious in tone posts with a topic in regards to my thoughts on homeschooling and I already have a few other things I want to talk about in a more serious manner. The time I spent doing things for Frantic Talks was definitely fun and I enjoyed it. It kept my writing skills from getting too rusty and it gave me the opportunity to do something I didn’t think I would ever do, host a podcast. Continue reading
