I guess what really drives my loyalties here in Atlantia aren't jsut the "famiuly" I have here, but b/c I've LIVED here my whole life, even before I KNEW about the SCA...I was born and raised in North Virginia, and lived in Danville for a time, and I've been here, and grown attached to the people and everything else...
It's going to be hard to go the day I leave...

"Als thai haf wryten and sayd
Haf I alle in myn Inglis layd,
In symple speechs as I couthe,
That is lightest in manne's mouthe.
Alle for the luf of symple men,
That strange Inglis cannot ken."
