I talk all randomlike...
Its probably past time for another update so here goes!
Im still at pumpkinpatch and the brat_t's house, trying to make my way home today. Not looking forward to that because the ferry schedule is not meshing as well as I would like. The 7:20 ferry out of Nanaimo will leave me sitting in Horseshoe Bay waiting for my other ferry for almost two hours. Rarrrr...This is me making unhappy growly noises. Rarrr! So, im not getting back to my little hovel until about midnight. Bleh.
Anyway. Thats my whine for the day! Onto things that dont make me have to utter growly noises!
SST. It was great. Ive always loved SST. Its so laid back, calm and friendly. It always reminds me of why I got into the SCA in the first place. It was even my first event what..10 years ago? There were so many laughs so many smiling faces. Got to see people I hadent seen in years, got to connect with people again. I miss that. I miss having a life. Its easy to forget what its like to have a life when im holed up in Sechelt.
There are a lot of things about this event I wont soon forget.
James and Mathieu holding a scooter jousting tournament.
Watching steam rise from the lake at 3am.
"The Scotsman" and his blue ribbon.
pumpkinpatch singing and her voice echoing off the trees. That girl can sing!
Waking up in the morning to find that pumpkinpatch is curled up next to me like a shrimp, happily leeching all my heat away.
Tearful heartfelt moments at court, even though I could barely keep myself awake during closing court Sunday. Waking up at one point during closing court to note that Mathieu is being rather amused at me sleeping through court! =)
I wish I had gotten some of my own pictures. Unfortunatly upon arrival I learned that at some point my camera had been left on and my batteries were dead. D'oh!
When we got back to pumpkinpatch's house on Sunday afternoon I walked in the door, went upstairs and straight to bed for a nap. I only slept about an hour but It sure helped. I could not belive how tired I was. There were some issues with the brain working on Sunday morning. Anyway. After my nap, I proceeded to get Mogg addicted to Firefly. I wish there was more than one season of that series, it kicks ass. We just finally finished watching them all an hour or two ago.
Ive decided that im going to go to Hartwoods Birthday Bash, I dont get to attend many Hartwoodian events these days. I also admit that I would like to squeeze in one more camping event before the season ends!
Wow. This is a terribly disjointed post. Gack! Thats enough for now, I need to go hunt down all the stuff that has exploded out of my bags since arriving at Moggs house.
