we, like sheep

A meme:

Ask me three questions. Ask me anything you want. Then post these instructions in your own journal, editing for style if necessary.

I am thinking about goblins, Morrowind, lentils, and algebraic topology vs. differential geometry, and not thinking about algebra.

1. What goes best with rice and lentils?
2. When did you join the SCA, and why?
3. d20 over White Wolf. True or false?

1. Red wine goes with everything. Otherwise . . . Salad with non-supermarket greens and feta, maybe. Or lemon juice and cumin as a general set of flavorings.

2. My first SCA occasion was a St. Patrick's Day parade March of my freshman year of high school, which I went to because Hank (alias Elric), who was in my physics class, was trying to persuade people to attend, and I had a crush on him. There I met Jeremy (alias Gwynnin), possibly not for the first time, and gloried in being surrounded by older men with dark hair.

The following winter I managed to date Jeremy for the span of about two months. He was my first boyfriend. We were cute and clueless and not very good at actually talking to each other. In the process I made friends with Jeremy's friends, aelfgyfu and nobu and Hank and so on, and thus the following summer I began going to events. In An Tir (the Northwest) there are camping events just about every weekend for the entire summer, with firelight and alcohol and lots of drum circles and belly-dancers of varying degrees of skill.

3. True for combat, false for magic. The Mage system, because of its fluidity, is closer to the way I think magic ought to work than any incarnation of D&D can ever be. The clunkiness of physical combat is unconscionable, though.
