In which I am soggy, nauseous, entertaining, angry, and confronting the past. . . almost
Yeah. So first weekend of faire was first weekend of faire. Hazardous, hectic, fun, rainy, aggravating. The reason I am posting this right now is because for the first time in he 10 years I've been doing this, and even longer in the faire's existence, the festival is closed. I'm not sure what to do with myself. Probably art. Friday was kids day and went well for being wet and soggy all day. Romeo & Juliet is going well with the back up emergency Romeo. Bastard is ducking up the curve for the rest of us. He is too good. He learned the show in like 4 days. I'm glad we still get to do it though.
Soggy Saturday. I'm extremely upset with my fight partner for 1. Not being on time for fight call and 2. Still having dangerous not viable soles on his boots. Fighting in extreme mud and rain with only leather soles is not safe in the least !!! I wanted to kill him. But didn't. I'm a professional. I can deal.
What I apparently cannot deal with is a migraine that starts about 11 am and turns into nauseated disorented panda by 4pm. By sheer luck I think I was able to make it home safelyish. Slept. It wore off. Woke up. Got ready for faire. Got to site. My phone is always on vibrate and silent. I looked at it wondering why no one was on time again for fight call, thinking that dave was going to be really pissed again, and oh look I missed 3 calls. Faire is cancelled today. The conditions are too dangerous for the actors and patrons. Poop. Oh well.
I've made some great discoveries about my character though and look forward to making more throughout the month. I'm having quite a bit of fun interacting with the queen more than I have been able to in the past.
I'm doing all right with darin being in town so far. I was able to collect my stuff from him and hold some conversation with him without making any stabs at the past. We'll see how this turns out. Urg. I can feel it welling up though so I'm not sure if I can spend any extended time with him. I want to remain friends but I feel I have alot more to talk to him about but I'm not sure how or when to do so. Plus I don't want to kill the progress I have made thus far.
So I guess that is the update for now. Love to all my peeps. Apologies as well for being distant. Hopefully that will change soon.
