Things I Thought I Would Never See On Campus, part 24601
So, yeah, I just got back from medieval fair, which was right down the street from my dorm! 8D I emerged richer by delicious tea (of course), a nifty ear-thingy for my cartilage piercing, and a scarf for my head, because looking like a pirate is preferable to looking like... an SS officer. So yeah. |D
Now, please convince me not to go back buy a three-stringed lute tomorrow. I mean, sure, it's only three strings, and sure it's got this lovely twanging harp-like quality to it, and sure it's beautiful and small and quiet enough to play in the dorm, but this is stupid! I do not need another stringed instrument!
Today both Brother Jed the Bigot and the Cherokee and Choctaw Nations were on the South Oval - the former to preach to the misguided masses about how exactly we had all doomed ourselves to Hell, the latter to hold the opening ceremonies for American Indian Heritage Month. (I am disappointed I did not know this was a thing on campus before today.) I sat around on Jed's end and was condemned for a few minutes, but in the end I decided that the stickball tournament on the other end of the Oval was more fun.
And you know what? I was right. Watching thirty klutzes (maybe three people in attendance had played stickball before) fling a ball at a wooden fish stuck twenty feet in the air was the best thing I saw all day. Even if Brother Jed called us heathens for it. :D
Tomorrow: Volunteering at the Big Event! Paper-writing! Showing off my Amazing Technicolor Headscarf! Oh, joy!
