I studied, my essay is done, and I am off to school in a few minutes.

WhooHoo! Knock 'em daid.

34? I roll my eyes forever at you, little chickabiddy.

Irish are fun and rowdy and excellent with the actual living history aspect of it; I'm a slob who's more interested in improv and playing with the audience than anything else, hence I'm a Puritan (and occasionally monger). If you're feeling bold later on and they'll let you out to play around with other guilds, I'd strongly encourage doing a costume swap for a day with a similarly-sized P. or m. if they have 'em at your Faire.

Anyone wish to have an offline discussion about OCD with me? I'm afraid to do a google search, but I have some questions and don't want to hog up board space.

eta - just hit me up at my profile e-mail.

Thanks. I needed that.

Yes, everyone seems quite fun. (And I'm tring to find time to get to Michael's to pick up wooden knitting needles, and having internal debate about whether I could make a pair of chopsticks do the job in a pinch).

Not sure about P's or m's, but there's a band of Pirates who were doing some recruiting at the Mira Mesa Street Faire a few weeks ago. I'm thinking I'll have to do a few wanders by Pirate's Cove and see what they're up to.

Daniel, add me to both lists. Although you're a better person than me -- when I was checking at work, I just did it at my desk with a quick alcohol wipe over the fingertip in question because my middle name is, in fact, Lazy.

Much ~ma to everyone who needs/wants it -- I've been skimming. I feel like I'm incredibly busy, but not enough stuff is getting done, and the living room still looks like a dog hair/baby toy bomb went off.

I'm 34, too--will be 35 in January--and I'm planning to take up reenacting as soon as I can afford to do so. I'm amazed I didn't fall into it years earlier, given my particular flavor of geekdom, but I don't intend to let age deter me.

When we get back to Michigan, I'm gonna do the Civil War reenactments, too. But mostly cause I like the dressing up part.

Definitely a huge plus for the whole deal. Thankfully no hoopskirts in 1582.

I love hoopskirts. Love love love em. If I wasn't such a conformist and trendy like, I'd wear em everyday.

Just ran into ALP. She was wearing the fugliest boots!

I'm still going to hell.
