Shrieking in all caps is so inelegant and unseemly. ... especially if you are of the clan Yami Kaminari....I am not, but I would like to join. I've neem reading all over the website and I MUST participate before joing! Ayaka-hime, Most, if not all the members of Clan Yama Kaminari are based in the northeastern United States. If you have been reading their website, your best bet would be to email them directly with any inquiries, as requested here: www.yamakaminari.com/membership.htmlI believe the Clan is very wise in requiring personal knowledge and interaction with people before inviting them to become members. Joining a large, cohesive household is sort of like marrying into a big family: if your mother-in-law hates you, you're screwed. While I have had the privilege of corresponding with several members of the Clan over the past few years, I have not interacted with them in person. If Ogami-sensei and his people suddenly got a wild hair about making an exception to Clan tradition and offered me membership right now out of the blue, I would thank them profusely - and decline. Why? It would be like one of those weird, medieval political marriages in which the wedding was conducted by proxy and the bride and groom hardly ever saw each other. How could they get to know me? How could I contribute to Clan efforts if I live on the other side of a continent? Two sen worth, Saionji no Hanae PS. I don't suppose anyone here is going to West Kingdom Twelfth Night in Modesto.....
