Timeline of Activity:
1991: Started in Stargate. First event was Pennsic 20th. You get up at 7:30 and you fight until 5:30, and you leave the field, go shower and get something to eat, and then party until 2 a.m.... and do it again all week!!
Upon return home, jumped into offices.
1997: Moved to Bryn Gwlad. Took on office of the Chronicler. I was in the middle of finishing my degree, and I thought, Hey, this will be a fun and relaxing job, since I enjoy writing... This was also the year I decided to enter my first arts & sciences competition.
2000: Attended Gulf Wars for the first time. I loved it because it was smaller and the family group camping was nice. Great fighting (... but the shopping wasn't as good as Pennsic, and you've got to shop as hard as you fight, right??)
2001: The Central region needed a Seneschal. It was a good education taking a role at the Regional level.
