Uh-oh. When you said you were going to do a little local SCA thing that 'looked like fun' I had this foreboding, because the last two events you have said that about totally bombed. (Psychic fair and craft fair, I mean.) So any time I hear 'little local fun thing' now I think oh no, she won't will she?

Pshaw, must be co-incidence.

I think knowing you have the power to control one part of your life properly is enjoyable, even if it means self-denial. I LOVE being on a diet if I'm actually getting what I want out of it, even if I'm starving! I mean, I'm not happy about the lack of food and especially chocolate and ice cream and such but boy I am just SUPER happy about how my life is going when something I planned to do gets done as I planned it.
