Sorry for not writing in so long! I’ve been very busy during this holiday, surprisingly, and have not had much quality time to sit down and write a quality entry. I do have one coming soon about me and reenacting, again. There’s a new foreigner here in Jindo who went to a Quaker school, and she has caused me to think about that query again. It’s such a complicated issue that I really tend to babble about it, but I will do my best to sound coherent, when I do write it.

I was having trouble sleeping again – the “head noise” I posted about the other day was the culprit – but this time I figured out what the running conversation in my head is: I’m writing blog posts in my sleep.
I’m serious. I guess that this journal has been so cathartic that my brain is like “Yes! Tell people!” in overdrive mode. Now, I’ve been blogging for 8 years, but this is the first time I have ever really talked about this subject (as I mentioned in one of my posts), and so I guess it was much-needed!
So, I’m going to finish up my reenacting vs. Quaker post now (it’s 5am!), and I also have one coming now that’s about how most of Korea’s tremendous number of nuns and monks (both of Buddhist and Christian persuasion) wear their traditional dress on a daily basis, and the fact that yesterday I realized that it’s reminding me of the Amish.
Anyway – enjoy benefitting from my insomnia. At least it’s serving some purpose.
I have a post about my weird relationship with the combination of reenacting and pacifism in the works, but in the mean time, I would like to ask you, dear readers, what you would like to hear about in the future.
Ideas? Suggestions?
Okay, it’s sleepytime, as it’s 2:15am.
