I have just helped my mother (age almost 64) set up a livejournal so that she could read an SCA friend's locked posts.

Gods have mercy on us all...

Fly, you fools!

That is exceptionally sweet. As are 63-year-old SCA people.

Well, she's pretty dynamic, all things considered. She's played since um. I was in junior high school? So pushing 20 years now... and she's a Laurel AND a Pelican AND a court Baroness AND some guy keeps fighting for her at Crown and getting to semi finals, so in a way it may only be a matter of time before she's Queen of the West. O.o But she's not the most technically savvy person in the world, heh.

That is deeply cool! Is it a nice guy fighting for her? Someone Radnor or Fabian like? (Oh yes, I have my mad skillz when it comes to the name knowing!) (And there are only a small subset of people that you meet at textile conferences ...)

My brain is saying his name is Roric (sp?). I'll have to ask her tomorrow morning. Fabian I recognize (duh? like Jade and whassisname? Paul of Bellatrix? he's a duke several times over); Radnor I don't. My SCA history isn't the greatest, although I'm not bad at reading blazons. ^_-

You beat me! I speak exactly enough Heraldese to chat with curators on stitching and weaving in military clothing (ie, not much!). I've met some of those people! Fabian, Paul and Radnor I really liked. Jade gave me the screaming heebies. I've just realised what your icon is, much love!!

I just snatched the icon today by digging back through [livejournal.com profile] iconzicons. Jade? Funny, i seem to recall that I rather liked him, although of course I haven't encountered him in a while.

I think I had an allergic reaction to all the charm. But I'm perverse that way.

Does your mom also live in California? I swear it's something in the water out here. For example, my friend [livejournal.com profile] deirdremoon and her mom [livejournal.com profile] aknitwit are both on my friends list (and my pagan filter).

My (California) parents are neither on LJ nor into any of my subcultures, but they're still fantastic people.

Yes, I still live in my parents' house, to my chagrin.

Huh, somehow I never really processed how much older your mom was than mine... guess it didn't matter when we were kids and all.
Somehow, I suspect she'll still do better in the internets than my mom does! ;)
