The Pirate Surgeon's Goofy Event Journals

Re-enacting (if done properly IMO) ends up being an absurd and disordered undertaking. There are those who try to impose order and structure on it, but that just makes it squirm and cry out in discomfort, throwing the feces of misery on those who would try too hard to cage it. I started keeping journals about my experiences as a re-enacting pirate surgeon for posterity at my very first event. (Well, for posterity and to amuse myself and anyone else with an odd sense of humor. Plus sea surgeons were actually required to keep journals, so this is historically-based. In a way...)
