I am the Kat that Walks By Itself

I used to belong to the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism). I would spend hours constructing garb, and making things that had no use in the modern world.

One reason I didn't join the SCA, though it was tempting, was that it was clear from the people I saw in our local group, that one would have to dedicate one's entire life to it in order to do it "properly", and I wasn't mad-keen enough to do that.

I love to make things that are challenging and difficult just because I can.

That sense of accomplishment is something money can't buy.
