This is probably quite a good idea, so...

Snagged from several other people:
--------
How many times has someone on your friends list posted about something and you were really confused, but you didn't want to ask because you knew you SHOULD know? How many times have you felt 'guilty' asking a close LJ friend a question that should be 'obvious'?

Well, here's your chance. If you've missed a few things, missed an entry and are confused, ask me anything. Even something EXTREMELY basic, like where I live! I'm not allowed to get even slightly irritated at any of the questions - we've all missed things before.

If you like the idea, feel free to post in your journal.

[Yes - this can be as basic as 'who the heck are you again and how did you end up on my friends list?']

In my case I suspect this is a particularly good idea. As it says somewhere here: do not tell me to "get a life", I already have several. You, whoever you are, probably friended me because we contacted through one of those lives. Now you're getting to hear about all the others, as well. Confusion is almost guaranteed.

I still drop in to GROGGS from time to time, and read, but haven't seen anything I feel inspired to comment on.

Day job: I'm a database designer and website coder at Unipath, near Bedford. Sorry, most of what I produce is either purely internal or security-protected, so I can't give you links. Here's us, but I didn't do this website: http://www.unipath.com/

Other amusements: ah, this is where we come down to all the other lives.

The re-enacting you'll have seen will have been the ACW stuff. Cannon and so on. I've been doing various medieval things for far longer than that, though I've dropped a lot of it over the last year or so: I was doing too much and getting too stressed. I still go to back-swording class on Tuesday nights, when I'm not ill or injured. http://www.backswording.co.uk/

I do a lot of on-line roleplaying in a fantasy universe called Glorantha. I also write stories set there, and "investigate" the background to the place, writing mythology and so on. Large chunk of my personal web-site dedicated to that: http://www.jane-williams.me.uk/glorantha/

I own a harp: part of the Medieval life. I don't practice it anywhere near as much as I'd like.

In both medieval life and Gloranthan conventions, I'm a story-teller as well as a story-writer (two very different things!).

I like sewing, knitting, crochet, in fact almost anything to do with making stuff. This links in with the reenactment, it's how I get things to wear.

Cooking. Modern or medieval. I like it, I like eating the results.

erm.... I've probably missed a few....

oh, and I have a thing about teddy bears.

And photos. I do a Monthly Scavenger Hunt on Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/groups/monthlyhunt/

You might find groggs_feed worth following - I found it reminded me of what was being discussed, rather than having to remember fire up a client separately.

Interesting, thanks!
