Wow, what a great two days. Yesterday was marvelous. A whole bunch of rennies went to the city museum. I caught a ride with Kelsey, and proceeded to get us lost trying to find the place. We finally got there, and met up with the other rennies. It was insane! We did so much and it was so fun. Connie, Alyssa (Faire not school), Ashley and I all broke off from the main group and went to find the really big slide. After cralling through part of the enchanted caves and getting directions from an employee we climbed up two or three flights of stairs to get to the top of the slide. The lights up there were burned out, which made climbing the stairs...interesting. We went down the slide a couple times, then decided to do something stupid, crazy, and insanely fun. We all went down at the same time, with lightest to heaviest being the order. I was the lightest (why is it always me?), then Ashley and Alyssa didn't know who weighed less so they played rock-paper-scissors to decide. Ashley ended up behind me, then Alyssa, then Connie. We started down the slide. Now this slide was a big spiral so I ended up smooshed against the wall of the slide, and I grabbed onto Allysa's sandal, and ended up pulling it off, then grabbed Ashley's leg. Ashley grabbed Alyssa's leg, and we lost Connie. We got down to the bottom a little banged up, but very amused. The general consensus though, was not to do it again. I got to go on Monstrosity for the first time! I got buried in the ball pit, and ended up with my feet sticking out of the balls, and the rest of me stuck underneath. Later eight of us went in the ball pit and had a rennie take over! We just started hitting everybody who wasn't a rennie! We were eventually defeated, but it was still a lot of fun. I was also really happy to see Jason (Cosmographer) there. We went to the skatepark area, and played around. One of Jason's friends got the front page story of the West End Word! How cool is that! One of the belly-dancers from Circus Flora performed in the pit area near the Cabin. I think she was the one who played the Lady of the Mists' beautiful silent daughter. There was this Ass hole there who started doing obscene dance stuff to her, and we were joking about going over and kicking his ass. Kate is very nice. I hope she can learn to belly dance someday, since she seems to really like it. She knew more about it than me, that's for sure. Mike took me home. I got back around 12:40.
Today was really cool too. My dad and I garbed up and joined the rest of the rennies marching in the VP parade downtown. I had a great time. Ashley was there and she was doing fey. She seemed to have such a good time I fear we may lose her to them. As long as she's still having fun with faire. I can always go into the forest and mess with the fairies after all. Wait I mean, I can go into the forest where *Yells* "FAIRIES DON'T EXIST!!!" :)
After the parade a bunch of us went to Union station for lunch. I love all the wierd looks we get. It was very funny to have half a marching unit of garbed rennies walking through Union Station.
Faire has to be one of the most wonderful things that has happened to me in a long time. Thank you so much Abby for inadvertantly introducing me to so many good times and friends.
