Five questions from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
house_elf. As always, if you comment I'll ask you five questions of your very own.
***
1. What was it like to publish your first names article?
I'm afraid it wasn't terribly eventful-- but that's partly because my first names article was very far from being the first article I posted online. I had a job for a while working for the Math Forum, and one of the things I did for them was write FAQs and web articles. (You might be interested in the Roman Numerals FAQ, since it talks about some period methods of doing simple arithmetic.)
2. What are your other SCAdian interests?
I knit medieval and non-medieval items; I embroider occasionally; I hang out with my friends, get drunk, and talk about science fiction novels. To be honest my SCA and non-SCA lives tend to blend together.
I'm competing in Baronial Arts & Sciences this weekend, and I've been carving linoleum blocks to make prints as one of my entries. I'll post more examples after the fact, probably, once I have time to article-ify my documentation.
3. What is your favorite L. M. Bujold book, and why?
I like the Miles series; though there are books in it I like less (such as Civil Campaign, which I like much less) I tend not to break it up into individual books in my head.
If I had to pick, I'd probably pick the Brothers in Arms - Mirror Dance arc, which I think has the most interesting balance between wild comedy and not actually being comic at all.
4. Do you listen to filk, and if so, who?
Not really. The lyrics to An Tir's song I know best go "Fill your cups with ale or wine or beer/ 'Cause there's too much water around here" and Sixty-Nine Love Songs seems spiritually akin to filk, but I don't have any true connection to the filk scene.
I can give you a link to some nifty music though:
Real Gothic Death Metal!
http://www.sospiro.org/
This is the medieval music trio that some friends of mine started about a year ago. They have sound files up now. I painted the poster.
5. What is your favorite non-SCA hobby?
I spend an awful lot of time knitting, some of it SCA-related, some not. I've seen people list things like "reading" and "cooking" as hobbies, and of course I do these things as well, but I don't think of them as hobbies. I spend an awful lot of time breathing oxygen too, after all, but it has somehow never seemed optional ; )
