i'll also never forget the times we've passed the hat for people in our area who were recently hospitalized and decimated by bills. we never raised much, not really enough to dent medical bills, but it was enough to get them some extra groceries and things so they could direct more of their financial efforts toward their medical expenses. it's been more and more raised each time as our reputation grew. i am very passionate about this effort when we do it.
it was so adorable, i had a hard time not crying.
. this ended the show early, as you might expect, but it was a weekend where we were raising money for a woman who broke her back. i thought when it happened, "oh, god, i'll have to stop performing... not now..." the extent of the damage: torn ACL, meniscus, and bursa. i started out the next morning in a chair, spinning in my campsite with a baton. i began the day on crutches, and by noon i was up to a cane. by early evening i was able to limp without the cane, and by showtime THAT NIGHT i walked without a limp. i didn't have to perform, but i did. why? because i still felt that the woman needed my help more than i needed to take it easy. i also felt that if i could make it through that night, i would prove to the audience as well as myself that i wasn't done yet. before i go on, let me state that this is not an arrogant statement: i am a bit of a legend in my kingdom, if someone doesn't know me by sight, they know of me, and if not, they've at least heard my name. there are over ten thousand people in my "kingdom" in the SCA, and they all pretty much are aware of me. when i performed that night, it confirmed to the whole kingdom that Frederick the Reckless is a man too stubborn to quit so easily... or so i would like to imagine...

Legal and illegal are a point of view. All that matters is morality.
If there's a shadow in your life, then there is also sunshine. Perception is everything.

I honour you as an aspect of myself..
You are never to old to storm a bouncey castle..

After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.

I may disagree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.
