| Name: | Winterlion |
| Website: | Winter's Gift |
| Location: | Surrey, British Columbia, Canada |
| Birthdate: | 1972-04-13 |
| Bio: | "I do not take too seriously what I take too seriously"
"never trust a priest who cannot laugh"
I'm prone to being silly - especially about that which I care. Just as fair warning. I'm also pro-LGBT, pro-soldiers, pro Islam, pro-people and generally pro-goodness. I'm against prejudice. I love beauty.
LGBT - I'm not just fwiw. I defend. I guard. These are sacred ways.
Soldiers - They're your countrymen, your neighbours, your friends, your kin. Make sure they have a home to come back to. Make sure they know you care. I'll do what I can.
Islam - has much beauty. Is much beauty. It was a way I almost went once.
Somewhat lionlike - enough that the name was given to me. I was once feral, animallike and looked like a lion walking out from the winter snow, covered in frost.
I am now a lot more civilized. I even had my hair cut...
I am involved in SCA. Eisenmarche, Lion's Gate, Tir Righ and An Tir. I live in the Land of Kings. Sometimes bard, sometimes skald, sometimes cook, sometimes proud.
I am studying Forn Sedr with an eye towards someday studying it officially. The culture seems to be the one of my ancestors (as recent as my Oma and Opa) and thus perhaps I'm doing this for reasons of "folkish" nature. My ways are not necessarily those of anyone else and I love that people have faith. Don't try to inflict your ways on me and I won't try to inflict mine on you. I have been a priest and still feel the call. Just not a Christian one, much as I find the religion interesting.
I'm a programmer (of many things) and have been since 1984 on many platforms and in many environments. If you search for my name online, chances are it's me - I'm the only Teunis Peters in the world this century as far as I can tell.
Oh - I'm furry-friendly but not one myself. I have a brother who's furry.
I can be rather an idiot at times with communications. If you are curious or confused - ask. |
