About Me

I am 45 and a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism. Yes, that means I put on armor and on the weekend go beat other peopel with sticks. Releaves a lot of tension. Try it sometime. I am a squire to Sir Andrew Greencloak (he is inactive although I prefer the word retired). My score on The Who Would You Be in 1400 AD Test :
The Knight
(You scored 36% Cardinal, 33% Monk, 47% Lady, and 67% Knight!)
You are the hero. Brave and bold. You are strong and utterly selfless. You are also a pawn to your superiors and will be lucky if you live very long. If you survive the Holy wars you are thrust into you will be praised for your valor and opportunities both romantic and financial will become available to you.
Link: The Who Would You Be in 1400 AD Test ( OkCupid Free Online Dating ) Your results:
You are Zoe Washburne (Second-in-command) Zoe Washburne (Second-in-command) 85% Wash (Ship Pilot) 80% Malcolm Reynolds (Captain) 75% Kaylee Frye (Ship Mechanic) 75% Jayne Cobb (Mercenary) 65% Alliance 55% Inara Serra (Companion) 45% River (Stowaway) 45% Dr. Simon Tam (Ship Medic) 40% Derrial Book (Shepherd) 35% A Reaver (Cannibal) 15% Dependable and trustworthy.
You love your significant other and
you are a tough cookie when in a conflict.

Rough times
