Who Are You?

[jducoeur]

Okay, I'm amused by the current meme going around, so I'll join in. Stealing the text shamelessly from cellio, who states it clearly and concisely:

If I'm on your friends list, how do you know me? (I know that in some cases it's obvious.)

Also, if you feel like it, please give a tiny little blurb about yourself. Tell me where you're from, what you're interested in, a little relevant information like that.

Introduction

OK, I've just added you to my friends list, if you don't mind. I met you, online at least, through some comments you made in alienor's journal and found your entries to be interesting. What other reason is there?
I'm in the SCA (surprise!). While I don't specifically remember meeting you (OK, you get old, your brain gets fuzzy, sorry), I played up in the EK for years and years and went to Carolingia often enough that odds are we actually have met in person, possibly even danced with each other. Steffan of Silverwing will probably remember me if you ask him. I do remember him - he was the very first person who ever danced with me in the SCA! ("Carolingian" pavane, it was.) I was know as Rowan then, I have red hair and am apprenticed to Mistress Arwen.
I sing classically (lyric soprano, semi-pro), taught private voice, am in school for Speech-Path to do voice science & therapy, have done biochemical research, accounting, and cosmetology (still licensed); interested in history, music, ME dance, cooking, SF/Fantasy, sewing, making stuff with string, vaguely Pagan leanings but by necessity a musical mercenary (I praise whichever god pays me, currently a Lutheran one), and read all sort of shiny little bits and pieces about almost anything to squirrel away in my intellectual horde, although not a whole lot of in-depth stuff. I like looking at cats, squirrels, lizards, and trees - although not at the same time - because I just do (it's not very explainable).

I'm very amused. I ran across one of your postings in some other journal (might have been alienor's) this afternoon, and had been planning on adding you to my friends list, since we seemed to have similar interests. So -- hi.

Dunno if we've met previously -- my memory is famously bad. I've been active in Carolingia for a bit shy of 20 years now, and dancing for most of that time, so odds are fairly good that we ran into each other on the floor if you've been around since then. (I can tell that you go back a ways yourself -- Steffan hasn't been calling himself "of Silverwing" for a good number of years now, so it's mostly those of us who've known him a while who call him that.)

Anyway, good to "meet" you, and thanks for replying. (I'm really enjoying this particular meme...
