Welly, welly, well, well, well. Here I am back at the end of the day. Quite tired I be, and I shall relate to you how, precisely, that came about. That is, after all, one of the things one puts in your journels, eh?
As some of you may know, I slept from about 4 of the pee-em to about 11 of the pee-em yesterday. Friday, as it happened to be. Hence, I was up the rest of the night. I talked with my good friend Bethany* a bit and she was going to Lucasville that next day. Or, er, later that day, seeing as by that time it was 3:30 of the ay-em. Well, seeing as my sister and her are best friends, she wanted me to bring 'em up. So I thought about it...
[A side note: Lucasville is basically the Mother-of-All-Flea-Markets. There's everything there, including the kitchen sink.]
At about 8 of the ay-em this morning, I decided I oughta have a bit of a nap, seeing as I had been awake most of the night. I slept from then to about Noonish. Precisely about noonish, I believe. Then I went in and set up the sound system at church. As I wouldn't be actually going to the service because it's an Easter service,** I decided to go to Lucasville.
Anyways, after passing my plans past my Mom, I took my sister (equilo) and my other younger sister, Sarah up to Lucasville. We wandered around for some time looking at things. I was out for a canesword and Sarah and Ruth were just looking around and hoping to meet up with Bethany and their family.
Well, we were looking at foreign coins, the Lilly's (Beth's family) walked behind us and we just barely caught them. I got a sixpence (Reaper Man - AND SIXPENCE IS SIXPENCE.) and Ruth got the Queen's Shilling... Two Discworld references for the price of one. We wandered around with Beth and her sister Mariann for a while looking at stuff. It went good, I thought.
Then Beth and Mariann had to leave. *Sniffs, winks* I went to one of the sword booths and picked up a cool canesword after they left. It has a dragon on the top, which, when the blade is screwed out, becomes the hilt.
After that, we went to the "other" good sword booth and I bought a large-ish broadsword and Ruth got a short (to me at least) sword. And then we went home and I came up here and wrote this entry.
*Looks around tiredly* Quite a full day, if'n you ask me...
*Just good friend. *Glares at tutting people*
**Eh, ask if you want to...
