The Glories of War..
I love Pennsic. I really do. For one thing, given big hugs & kisses by two attractive guys before I even got to my campsite. That brightened my outlook on life.
I'm a bit concerned about my tent. A couple of the beams split while we were putting it together. Plus, a mouse has been chewing on some of the wood, too. Not cool at all. But it's up & I'll get to find out how well the waterproofing is holding later on in the week, from what my Mom tells me of the weather forcast. The weirdest thing was realizing the my tent is bigger than my bedroom.
We're camping with a different group. Usually, the household I'm in (Singing Stone) is sectioned off from the main
Barony Marche of the Debatable Lands (mundanly known as the Pittsburgh crew). This year, we're sharing space with House Eisenfaust, who are a fun bunch of people. They built a big green tower for their gate & when we got it raised up this afternon, three of the guys all called out "We have achieved erection." All at the same time. :)
So far, master of the household, Sir Aengus has already embarassed me. At the last minute, they decide to move some of the tents around & put my Mom's tent right next to mine. I protest. So Aengus turns to my mother & says, "My lady, are you aware that your daughter is sexually active?" And my mom replies, "I would be so surprised." I still don't particularly want her tent right next to mine- I just finally moved out of her house!- but that's where she is. Not really planning on doing much in that way anyway. I figured out a while back that I'm not really a one-night-stand sort of gal. And I'm not much in a mode to trust men right now.. Particularly men away from their homes.
I think it's going to be an excellent Pennsic, though. :)
