Interview meme, take 6

[cormac]

Her Majesty jillaw asks:
1. Now that you've contacted your birth parents, do you appreciate your parents all the more?
Most definitely. I had an inkling that my birth parents weren't what I considered parental material before I ever contacted them, and having finally made contact has only solidified that belief. My mom and dad are the best ever, and I love them dearly.

2. When are you going to develop a Turkish persona?
Well, the Eastern Orthodox church allowed their religious leaders to grow beards, so maybe sometime soon. But it won't be what you're looking for.

I am, however, considering the development of a Jewish persona, but I haven't placed him yet in either time or space. And despite my religion, I'm afraid I'm still visually about as convincing a Jew as a typical Wisconsinite is a convincing samurai.

3. What drew you to the SCA initially (besides hot chicks like me)?
The opportunity to fence. In aliskye's interview I go in-depth about my joining the SCA, but long story short: the fencing professor was retiring, and the class wanted to continue to fence. I'd seen crazies in the park, and volunteered to investigate.

4. I think you'd make a great lawyer. What area would you focus on if that's the direction you decide to go?
If I had my druthers, Constitutional Law.

5. Is there a society wide belief that you think is a bunch of crock?
It's not Society-wide, but it's wide enough that it's prevalent in a strong majority of kingdoms: "squire's" silver chains and spurs, or what I like to refer to as the Knight Light kit.

I think the Jewish community has enough visual diversity to include you. I didn't think twice when you first mentioned you were Jewish. There are blonds and redheads in my family tree. Tall people, not so much, but that's just us.

Tell that to Rabbi Engle. :)

What she said. It's not about a look.
