Stolen wholesale from serenalyons

"The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really we know nothing about each other.

I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about.

Ask away. Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you."

This could be interesting.

Actually I'm only involved in one group, Nylöse (http://www.strakt.com/~bjorn/nylose/), which is a part of the national group Nordrike (http://www.nordrike.org/) (for those not swedish speaking, the word "Bilder" is what to look for in those pages, it means "pictures"), but I'm becoming more and more tempted to participate in some SCA activities too and I have even have some thoughts about starting up a renaissance group, because it would be fun to have an event where everybody belong to roughly the same time period.
I started in the SCA in autumn 1992. I have always liked to dress up and pretend I lived in more "romantic" eras and finally I found a place to do it (I started doing some Live roleplaying at that time too, but I don't do that anymore.)It was my then boyfriend, the father of Vendela and Valeria, who had been a member of the SCA and put me in contact with people. Actually he's responsible for a lot. When we met I hadn't red fantasy, or indeed any fiction for almost five years and I hadn't longed for playing dress up either, I was very involved in politics and didn't even know I missed it (now I have dress up but miss being an activist).
My first Visby medieval week, which is the most important event of the year, was in 1993. I went with my friend Carin, only bringing very impractical italian renaissance dresses of course. Nobody told me it got so cold in the nights in August.
Well, that was 11 years ago and I'm still hooked (and have far more practical clothes now).
