I don't consider myself a mailler. I'm a jeweler and chain maker. The fact that people call anything other than the armor weaves chainmail drives me up the wall. Most of the stuff people in the chainmail community is just chain. Unfortunately the erroneous terminology is unlikely to change and people are going to continue calling non-armor weaves chainmail :\

But I don't have much choice in the panic area. I've got Aspberger's Syndrome, "social situations" generally freak me out, terrify me or cause me to panic. Submitting something to a major, national competition is a social issue for me, partly because of the implications involved if I end up winning any of the prizes. Award show and national recognition, scary stuff for me. Not nearly as bad as trying to ask a girl out or public speaking, but still enough to freak me out. So it's not really about being nervous about how well I'll do so much as the fact that I actually entered myself into a competition. Heart rate is starting to go up, so I'm going to stop typing, heh.
