You might be in the SCA if....

[ShadowDruid]

If you walk into a fabric store and wonder out loud is this period or not? Or,
discuss how to make a circle cloak at a restaurant (which people like around
wondering was fun). I agree freaking mundanes is fun! OR, when a mundane
goes "Are you in a play?" You go "No, this is normal clothing!"  

[Nearis]

You know your in SCA when....

-in full bellydancer garb, you will publicly dance for your dinner
-your steak knife sucks so you pull out a belt dagger at Applebees
-you're proud to be a wench

Alternate response: "I was going to ask you the same thing!"

You know you're in the SCA when:

...you feel strange wearing pants for a few days after an event. (That one is mostly for the ladies).
...you get freaked out when people call you by your mundane name when you're with your friends.
...you have been heard to squeal "Oooo! Sharp and pointies!"
...you weren't that worried about Y2k because you knew you'd be able to take care of yourself with what "primative" materials you could scrounge up if the world did end.  

[WitchyChick]

+ Your eyes are messed up from trying to read by candlelight all the time.

+ You can't watch modern movies about medieval times with mundanes because you spend the entire time shouting about the imperfections in swordfighting, garb, speaking, etc.

+ You carry a children's toy sword around with you when in mundane life because you feel strangely light without a sword attached to your belt.

+ You've had more weapons confiscated during school then all the "gangster" kids put together.

You might be in the SCA if:

... you can't go to Burger King because he's wearing a ******** ducal coronet.
... if you have been caught screaming "DUCAL CORONET, DAMNIT!" at the TV/billboards.

Lol! Every Halloween I give out candy to little kids (I don't eat candy so I don't trick-or-treat), and if they have a medieval costume on, I start telling them how they could improve it, and the parents just sort of stare at me and drag their kids away...

As for the weapon thing, I had a plastic saber confiscated once, so I don't bring handmade weapons to school anymore.

---you can choose a project from a list for school and you glare at the paper until you find one dealing with the medieval ages and wind up squealling with glee when you find it, much to the annoyance to the teacher and the rest of the class who is now staring at you like you've grown several extra heads.

---you far outdo anyone else doing afore mentioned project by changing into your garb at the beginning of class and having to sit there and criticize everyone elses in your head because you can find so much wrong it makes your eye start twitching.

---you walk to the next class in the garb you changed into during the class you just left and everyone is giving you funny looks, but you can't seem to figure out why.

I've done all of those. lol.  

[Arithrel]

You won't wear your garb on Halloween anymore because it just doesn't feel like a costume, no matter what anyone else says.

*lol* Not just for the ladies... I bet it works for the guys in kilts, too. wink  

[GaijinGuy36]

Actually, it doesn't take very long to readjust to pants after going kilted, if you're not used to wearing a kilt all the time. It just takes a little bit to get used to a kilt. Once you do, though, they are comfy. mrgreen

You might be in the SCA if....

....you clean out your trunk and find rolls of brightly colored duct tape.

.oO(...why do I have red duct tape in my car? OMG, that's probably been there since that event....!)
