V Early riser or night owl?

< 19 degrees today, which is cold in my neck of the woods, but I agree with Ransom, had enough winter already. Maybe I would change my mind if I could spend some time skiing.

< Still trying to think of all the stuff I have to finish packing

V would you rather talk on the phone or email folks you know?

[Ransom]

^ Probably e-mail, 'cause I'm not a big phone person. US Cellular laughs at my monthly minutes - barely 1/16 of my allowed. But, once on the phone, I can talk for hours.

< Spent a good part of the day cutting out a shirt and skirt pattern for the pyrate weekend coming up with the Portlandia gang. Kinda liked crabbing around on the floor, cutting things out. Haven't done it for years.

V Do you like the actually sewing of something, or prefer the chosing of an outfit, the designing and material choices, etc. — but hate the sewing part? ( That would be me.) Or do you like the whole process?

[Capt. Sterling]

^ enjoy the whole process, whether it be making clothing or baldricks or pistols, ect... BUT hate going to the stores and not being able to find period correct materials or even something that looks correct but content may be off... ugh!!!!!!!!!!!

< Sorry we'll miss you at RF2 but wish you a wonderful time at your own event!

V period correct ONLY or say you find a fabric that is part polyester BUT exactly matches a print from the time frame you play in, would you go for it and explain that it is not perfect for anyone who asks?

[Ransom]

^ I wouldn't explain anything UNLESS someone asked. Yeah, I'm no real purist. If it looks good, and doesn't scream POLYESTER, I'd probably use it.

< Thanks, Captain. I will think of you and your crew while sleeping on a hard wooden bunk in a lodge heated by only a central woodburning fireplace. But, I can't wait to dip my toe into pyracy for the first time! And Lorien is a sweetheart to invite me. There will be music, games, movies, and lots of food and RUM...how much better could it get?

V How far are you willing to drive/fly to go to an event you long to attend?

[Capt. Sterling]

^ Pretty far, have done a number in England and Wales. RF2 is a breeze only 14 hour drive..

< Hard wooden bunk... geeze I get the floor whilst Aurore and Lilly get the beds!!! I am hoping they still have the long chaises in the rooms...sigh

V How long do you put up with Thread Nazis?

[Jacky Tar]

V In yer work a day world, how PC are ye? (On a scale o' 1 to 10; 1 bein' yer a pirate 24 - 7, an 10 bein' yer someone Mother Theresa could relate too.)

[CrazyCholeBlack]

^ I'd give myself a 4-5. I tend to say what I think regardless. To me it's more important to be honest than to just tell people what they want to hear, even if that means being a little rough sometimes.

< Really wants to go to RF2 but thinks that it would be better to just stay home. It's not like I have any reason to be there or like I'll be missed.

V social butterfly or antisocial freak?

[Ransom]

^ Depends on my mood, but my natural tendancy is loner - with longings to fit in.

< Well, Chole, a floor probably isn't musch more comfortable than a wooden bunk. Insulite - it's a good thing!

V How do you react if someone in the Costume Police calls you out on something you're wearing?

[Black Anne Rose]

^overreacted, like i always do when ppl laugh at me... >.< i got a trauma since i was bullied by mean kids since i was a lil' lass

< isn't called 'slut' today by the 'evil' new kid at school. yay! (sorry if i cant say that word on the boards

V have you or are you being bullied at school/work/whatever?

[Red Cat Jenny]

^ OOOhhhh yes...I remember those days well.

Let me tell you something..It's uber satisfying later in life to see your old arch enemies in some store and they look like trash, are trailing three unruly children or an idiot boyfriend/husband..and juuust for a moment, your eyes meet in years later recognition.

The sweet spot being when they look away. I never had to say a word. The field was leveled at that point. Just wait for it dearie and pay them no mind. The little fifedom they live in will fall after graduation. You do what you want woooagh!

< Happily reliving that memory Helene you bitch..

V Do you handle conflicts with tact?

[CrazyCholeBlack]

^ I have about as much tact as a cannonball.

< My mom promised to take me to to get a bowl of liver dumpling soup from my favorite German place before RF! Now I'm even more anxious to get down there.

V on a scale of 1-10 (1 being low) how patient are you?

[Red Cat Jenny]

^ Gosh, that varies.. Professionally 5, 6 if they don't speak my language. Personally somewhere around 12. If I'm in a mood or late 4.

< Ahh the famed liver dumpling soup... have a cup for me...no really , you can have mine Hope you enjoy it! It tastes better with mom!

V Fireworks, bowling or Opera?

[Red-Handed Jill]

^ Depends on my mood.
