On Saturday Bill and I piled into the car and took a scenic drive to the Washington County Fairgrounds to attend the first annual Southern Adirondack Fiber Festival

It was a beautiful day, the temperatures were cool, perfect shawl weather, and it was bright and sunny all day. There were over 80 vendors there. On top of spinning, weaving, and rug hooking demonstrations, and a really interesting sheep sheering demo.

For the full rundown including bunches of pictures, check out my knitting blog.

Just got back from taking the evening cruse on Uncle Dave's new tour boat.

It was nice, even if we didn't find out until after we had boarded that a bunch of Grindstone Islanders (Clayton's white trash) had chartered the boat tonight for an anniversary party, they were drunk and rowdy, but quite amusing to watch.

Apparently some woman showed up with her half her age boyfriend, a few minutes later her husband boarded, it was kind of tense.
Later on, once they left one of the other passengers found out and flipped.
Silly illegal Canadians.

Then there was the guy who dumped a full chest of beer cans and ice all over the boat when he was tying to get off.

Besides the drunken silliness it was a nice ride around the thousand islands, this really is a beautiful area.

So while at the knitting thing with the MIL it was discovered that I spin.

Word got around and I was given the number of a very nice lady who had just started an alpaca farm, and wanted to get rid of some fleece.

We talked a bit, I looked around, and discovered that I can spin it much like I do my chiengora.

So today Bill and I went to her place for a round of fur petting and looked at some pictures of some incredibly cute alpacas.

The prize of the day was when I came home with a pillow case with about 2 pounds of light chocolate brown first sheerings.

Puuurrrrr

Soooo soooooffft! Yummy! I can't wait to spin it!

Yesterday Bill and I went to a Geocaching event on Wellesley Island.

We had a blast finding the temporary caches, hanging out and talking with cachers from all across the state and Ontario, we went out to hunt one of the permanent caches, And then got some neat booty in the drawing (We got this cool orange tee shirt from the nature center with a turkey vulture on it, bill LOVES turkey vultures.)

We were in a bit of a hurry when we went on the hike for the permanent cache, so I ended up pushing myself too much on the level five terrain (lots of rocky uphill down hill steepness)

We were pooped when we got home, but that was ok, because I hade made dinner in the crock pot and it was waiting for us. Mmmm YUMMY.

But now my calves and quadriceps (not to mention my knees!) are killing me!!
:: whimper ::

But you know the weird thing? I would so do it all over again; we had such a great time!

Oh yeah, and it was a bit chilly yesterday, so I wore the hat I had knit myself from black yarn. It has ear flaps with ties and pom-poms, and cute little kitty ears with pink fuzz.
Ever now and then when we met up with somebody along the trails they give me a strange look, or get these huge smiles. And it took me a minute to realize why. I was kind of making an unintentional glamorbomb! :D

My dad and I were watching the news today and once again there was a news spot about a disaster occurring in California.
First forest fires, then rain, then earthquakes, then mudslides.

Besides "the weather"
Why do people continue to move to/stay in California?

My dad is a pessimistic asshole sometimes and is convinced that all Californians are idiots for staying. Which by reading mactavish's journal I know is not so.

So why? Because frankly, I'm stuck in the way of arguments, having never lived there.

(Discussions welcome, PLEASE,
Lets get some action here, my journal is so boring! And I'm interested in what people think.)

Whoo boy was this weekend fun!

I had a good time in school before I left; I wore my ears paws and tail with my cooking uniform (black pants so it still matched) and got quite a few positive responses. Then I rushed home and packed and got ready to go to Oswego. I left a little late and ended up forgetting the sleeping bad, but it was ok 'cus Monica was able to get an air mattress.

Once I got there we hung out for a little bit and then headed over to dinner. Which was cool, I'm soo glad lakeside carried moosewood soups, it was way yummy. Then we went back to the room for a bit then headed out for the MTTB around 9 ish.

MTTB:
AWESOME!

It was a lot of fun, a lot of people had some really neat-o costumes, last year there weren't any cats so that's what I went as this year, but of course like 5 million other girls did too. Blah. But it was still fun! Lindsay and Brandon and I danced some, and then they went off to watch Pirates of the Caribbean, but I wanted to stay and dance.
So I danced. A lot.
There was a lot of really great music (they played a lot of DDR stuff too, but that just made it easier to dance to ;). And dancing w Addison, Sean, and Chris was totally awesome. Those guys are really great to interact w/ on the floor, so much fun and energy. I loved mikes costume (yay Spider Jerusalem) and Sean was tres creative (if not very, very hot)
The costume contest was very amusing, I really liked Justin's costume, and Scot Staab is the master of makeup and costuming, I loved it. Bree and her Bf (I'm sorry, I forgot his name) made an awesome pair as the goddess and horned god.

Hmm... if I keep listing off cool costumes this is going to go on for miles. :D
So I'll stop here and say there were a TON of great costumes, and mucho, mucho good music and I danced way too much, (so much I had trouble walking home, and walking the next day for that matter, I'm still sore.) and it was wicked fun and I can't wait until next year to do it all over again!

If anybody wants to see pictures (I took a bunch, and so did other people) wander over to the STG yahoo group and take a peak.

It's good to be back.

>>>>CRASH!<<<<

Way back in my AOL days (yes, I was an AOL-er, and I'm not proud of it) I was also introduced to Spider Robinson (if you have never read any of his books, you are seriously missing out.) which lead to me looking up anything I could find on Callahan's Place. One of the lovely links in the back of a Callahan's book was for alt.Callahans.

Usenet newsgroups are a wonderful thing. kinda like LJ communities, before there was a LJ.
Anywho, this was back in HS I read that newsgroup religiously, (worse than I am w/ LJ now) and it was a great, Spider said shared pain is lessened and shared joy is increased, that's what went on there.
People ranted, shared happy moments, grief, anything, and it was always supportive environment and some of the Filks were hilarious.

After I got rid of AOL I couldn't access the newsgroups anymore (you have to pay to access a Usenet provider to read and post, and our ISP didn't offer one) so no more Callahan's for a while. I always kinda missed it, there were a lot of great people there, and I never really posted often, but it was always supportive when I did. Then we got Road Runner which comes with a free e-mail through outlook express, which has a wonderful little newsgroup reader! But I didn't have much time to read, and then I was in Oswego.

But now I'm home, and the other day I was cleaning my room, and came by my Callahan's novels and paging through them reminded me of the newsgroup.

And Ta Da! Back to Callahan's I go.
Reading through the recent posts, some things have changed, new people (that and it's been over 5 years, my memory of the old guard isn't what it used to be)

But it's nice to be back and reading them again.

If you have a Usenet account or whatever check out Callahan's (before or after reading the books, they ROCK!)

Had lots of fun tonight, I danced waaayy too much considering I can't. At least I think I can't dance, but apparently a lot of other people thought I was cute enough to hit on. Rowr! ;)
Oh, Lindsay, you're right, belly dance draws gay men like moths to a flame. It's weird.
But my boots made it very difficult to properly belly dance. And my feet are totally sore now, but I still had a lot of fun.

I'm definitely going to be doing this more often. There was only one real ass hole there, and he didn't hang around me that much, so it was bearable. And the random gay guy feel ups were more of an amusement than anything else.

Eric looked totally hot out on the dance floor, I was so jealous, he's a natural, too bad he's more interested in the guys there than in girls.
Oh well.

Well I need to sleep, I'm wicked beat.
Toodlies!

Ok, not that I'm all rested up I can go on and on about the wonderful time I had at Ren Fest w/ Lindsay, Brandon, Monica, Aaron, Chelsy and Mel!

Chelsy and Mel stayed over night at Monica's place and my parents picked them up in the van to go meet everybody in Oswego in the Culkin parking lot, and then we would convoy to Sterling.

But Aaron didn't show, apparently there were some key troubles, so he met us in the park.

As soon as we got there it started raining! But it wasn't that bad, we wandered around for a little but looking for Aaron. Then we decided that Lindsay and Brandon and I would save a place for everybody at the jousting field while they went to search for Aaron some more.

So we got some cinnamon roasted nuts (YUM!) and waited.
Lindsay ( petted the pretty horseys ) who loved all the attention and then we sat down and waited. The rest showed up just in time for the equestrian show. ( Aaron wore his kilt! ) It was a lot of fun, they scared the crap out of a little kid and did some ( neato stunts )

After the show we wandered a around a bit and then Lindsay got distracted ( by a neato instrument ) so we all decided to split up and meet back at the ( Well wench show ) at one. It was a funny show. Then afterwards we wandered a little more, and then decided to head for the hey nunny nunny show, but first Mel wanted to get a cool ( Henna tattoo ) and after that we went through the really confusing ( maze ) I got lost a lot but so did everyone else, it was a lot of fun!

Then it was off to more shows, we wanted to see the ( Hey Nunny Nunny show ) so we headed over that way, but before we got there we were interrupted by the parade! It was really neat. We got to the stage a little early, so we listened to the ( Empty Hats ) they played some really funny Irish songs.

It was getting pretty late by then and we hadn't seen Don Juan and Miguel yet, so we headed that way to meet my parents and watch ( The Weird Show ) and it was hilarious, I was having trouble standing I was laughing so hard! :D

After that we headed home, 'cus it was getting late and we were all tired.

Here are ( A bunch of cool costumes and people we saw during the day )


and Here's one more, ( a pic of all of us ) we had a great time!

Whew now that I've recovered a bit, how about I tell you all about my trip to corning?

First of, Corning = super cool!

Well I got up wicked early Wednesday morning so I could get ready, and then headed off to Fulton to grab Brandon, pretty uneventful until we got to Rt. 14, Bicyclists EVERYWHERE! Along the whole length of Rt. 14 were bicyclists apparently re-creating the Tour de France or whatever, but after a while Brandon and I were tempted to stop swerving away from the ones in the road and start swerving AT them. And talk about Vineyards! We passed dozens of them! Gotta love wine country.

Then we stopped following the directions I printed up from yahoo maps and got lost but we had a nice trip through Corning and around to Painted Post and back before we finally found Lindsay's house. :)

So we settled in and got situated (I gave Linds the Kettle corn Monica had me get, which she promptly hid) then headed into town, we went to the mall and the chocolate shop where Linds works, :: drool :: soo much chocolate! After I bought some chocolate espresso truffles we went downtown and Lindsay showed us around Market street and we played in some really neat-o antique shops. Then we went to Mariel's (is that right? I can't remember) but before we did we decided to stop into the herb shop next door because we had some time before we were supposed to meet Alfa. That shop is so awesome! And then Alfa surprised us by stopping in there himself while he waited for US, it was weird, but cool, hehe.
We went to the restaurant and had lunch, WOW I was totally impressed, that place had TONS of vegetarian choices, and the soup I got was totally yummy! Then we all got some coffee and walked down to the jewelry shop where Alfa works and chilled for the 1/2 hr until he was done with work, he has some really impressive pieces of jewelry. :D

After Alfa was done Lindsay took us to this nice little park and we hung out and talked and Alfa and I had a really nice conversation and really connected. It started getting late and the birthday party that had been going on broke up and it started raining, so of course we went and played in the playground :D Alfa pushed me in the swing and Lindsay and Brandon had some fun riding the little animals on springs. Lindsay rode side saddle (damned royalty :P) then it started pouring! Yay dancing in the rain! Poor Alfa though, he'd spend the last couple of nights running around in the rain in heavy gear as damage control during the huge storms that hit Corning earlier (He's an EMT) so he was kind of like 'ick rain.' but we still had fun.

And afterwards we went to the mall and hung out in the food court just talking and hanging out, unfortunately we went into Late Night mode and stayed out way too late so it was a rush to take Alfa home and then get back to Lindsay's where we chilled some more and looked at the super cool photos from her trip to Bolt Castle and all the stuff she got from Japan (lucky!) after a while we finally fell asleep in the living room.

Next day we slept in a little too late but Lindsay's awesome mom made us French toast with Chai tea so it was all cool! (even if the soap suds attacked me when I took a shower because they forgot to tell us they had a water softener.)
This was our last day there and I really wanted to see a glass show, but to get a tour of the Museum of glass is like $12, so we just wandered around the gift shop (which was still pretty damned cool!) and then went back to market street because there is a really nice glass shop (I can't remember the name of it) that you could actually watch people make all the stuff they sell. So that was really fun, although I'm sure my obsession of glass was beginning to wear on poor Linds.
Then I wanted to stop in and say hi to Alfa for a sec. but he must have been out to lunch so Lindsay took us to this really cool Japanese place and we got bento boxes and went to the cemetery for a nice little picnic, it was really nice, even though it started raining wicked hard, we had a nice time and Brandon didn't even need to use his fork, chopsticks rock! And the food was AWESOME so yummy! And I had a bunch left over for such a cheep price.

After we finished eating we realized I didn't have much time before I had to head home so we stopped back at the shop and Alfa and I went to a nearby bagel place and talked a little more and said good bye. We then went back to Lindsay's house, packed up, thanked her parents a million times (they were soooo cool!) and headed out. The trip home was completely uneventful besides a really nice talk with Brandon.

Once home I didn't collapse like I though I was going to, I was totally hyped from all the cool stuff I had seen, I really, really like corning. :)
Then later on Alfa got online and then called and we talked until wicked late, (hence why I didn't post last night, to busy talking!)
I'm really (really, really) liking Alfa, and Lindsay and Brandon have approved and made sure that he's not some psycho. :P I hope something can come of this, because he's so sweet and I had so much fun when I was with him.

Anywho, that's my trip to corning, I have a bunch of pictures (including proof that corning is secretly run by agents of Cthulhu and the Elder gods) if anybody is interested you can IM me.

Toodlies all! :D

Oh yeah, I'm definitely going to have to go back to corning, because Lindsay's mom says Monica had to visit too! And this time we'll bring TWO big bags of kettle corn for Linds and her mom. :D

My parents took Monica and me to Old Forge today!
We had a BLAST!

At first dad forgot the tickets and didn't remember till we were about ½ hr out of town, so mom had to turn around and drive back, but that was ok, 'cus I had forgotten my camera.

Once we got there the fun really started. We changed into our bathing suits, (I had a little issue with my bathing suits lack of any kind of substantial breast support, but I got over after finding out my only other option was Madonna esc cone bra.) and went to stake out a place to sit.

Now once we got all situated I wanted to just lay down for a little bit and then go on the rides, but Monica really wanted to get going, so we took a walk through the enchanted forest and the mini zoo. (The kids were so cute!) And then came back, then Mom, Monica and I grabbed some inner tubes and went around the lazy river thing a few times, but wow was it crowded!

After that we decided to grab some chow and chill for a bit, and then Monica was still rarin' to go, but I wanted to lay down for a bit and work on my tan. So she wandered off and I took a nap (yep I fell asleep :-\)

But I was awake by the time Monica came back and we wandered over to the tidal wave, that was fun, its amazing how such simple things can bring so much enjoyment... :D

Then we came back, and I wanted to go on one of my favorite tube rides, but it was down, so we headed to the other side of the park to my other fav. and went down that, it was fun. By the time we came back from it, Mom had already changed out of her bathing suit, and my parents were ready to go, but we weren't.

We ran off and went on the Amazon and then because we still weren't ready to go decided to wander over to the new section of the park. WOW! Two new inner tube rides (both use double tubes and look really cool) and a big ride that uses rafts like the Amazon's but it has an automatic raft lift! And another lazy river type ride but for double inner tubes only (Monica and I went on it it was nice, lots less crowded and the little kids were cute) and a whole little kids slide section with a cute little sprinkler waiting/wading section. (The parents wait for their kids to come down the slides and the kids wade in the water.) Once again simple things, Monica and I played in the sprinklers and had way too much fun with it. :D

By then, mom and dad were waiting for us, so we came back and changed, and were getting ready to go but I wanted to ride the over the park balloon ride thing so I could take more pictures, but before we got to it Monica and I got distracted by the sunglasses stand and had tons of fun trying on all sorts of funky colored sunglasses! Finally we got on the ride and I was able to take more pictures (I'm turning into a real shutter bug!)

After the park we went into town and wandered around inside the Old Forge hardware Store. I love that place, it's not just a hardware store, but a book store, a cooking supply shop, a souvenir shop with all sorts of other really nifty little things for sale there. Mom bought me a new pare of chopsticks that can be washed so I'll always have a set. Monica and I wandered around the book store and I drooled over some of the really neat gourmet cooking utensils. It was fun, I love that place.

I wish we could have wandered around Old Forge some more, but it was getting late and we were all getting hungry, so we headed home, I fell asleep in the car (again!) and apparently mom decided she wanted to eat at The Light House in Lowville. It was a nice dinner except for the over bearing Christianity of the place (bible passages on ever page of the menu, bible theme place mats, and Christian music) our poor waitress though was really getting frazzled because she was the only one working and there were lots of people. She forgot our silverware but served us our salads, then forgot our straws and when she remembered them she ended up throwing them over mothers head onto the table! It startled all of us, but I don't think she noticed she had done it because she was so busy and running around. Despite the few mishaps it was a good dinner and a great desert (cheesecake YUM!) and the waitress deserved a huge tip for doing as well as she did.

So we all left the restaurant full and eager to get home, but as mom pulled out of the parking lot and onto the main street we noticed a bunch of commotion ahead of us with flashing lights.
When we were stopped by the (extremely old) serif (or deputy,) he informed us it was a 2 hour parade!!! (While talking to him we saw the 4H float drive past, followed by a small lama (what id the Lowville 4H doing with a lama?!?) and a baby Shetland pony.) But he directed us to a detour where we were directed by two (just as old) deputies and were back on our way.

Unfortunately this detour involved us going way out of our way and all the way to beaver falls past the speed way and finally into Carthage. (Might as well have waited for the parade to end...)
We saw three deer on the way home, one was in the middle of Old forge, one on the way to Lowville and one on our detour, so mom told Monica and I to keep an eye out, but we didn't see any more deer, just cows, lots of cows.

But we finally got home and dropped Monica off and came back and let Duchess out (who has to stay in the kitchen all day so she wouldn't have an accident on the rug if grandma forgot to take her out for us, which she did.)

Whew what a day!
We had tons of fun and I took bunches of pictures (yay!)

W007 !

Had soooo much fun yesterday!
We were supposed to meet Brandon and Lindsay in the Culkin parking lot before we headed off to Darin Lake, but they had it blocked off. But it was ok, we still could see Brandon waiting for us, and Lindsay almost ran us over while we were waiting. :)

The trip there was mostly uneventful. Except for that time in Fulton when we missed our turn and one of the cars ended up getting into an accident with a big truck, from Oswego. Don't worry no major damage, just a shaken driver, a large dent, broken door handle, and a little paint.

Once we got to Darien Lake we had a nice little picnic out in the parking lot. My mom is so awesome, she brought a cooler filled to the brim with sandwichy and snack stuff for us to eat so we wouldn't have to pay the HUGE amount of money that the park was asking for food (one small bottle of water = $2.75!) then we lathered ourselves up with sun block and headed in. We had a great time just hanging out and walking around the park, and the rides were awesome! My favorite ride is still the Boomerang. But the predator is pretty cool, a little too rickety for the last ride of the day though. If you ever have a bag or something and want to go on a ride be extra super careful, 'cus I would drop my bag off before I got on a ride, and Linds would pick it up when she got off, and nobody said anything about it.

We even did a little shopping while we were there, I got myself a Marvin wind chime, and Mommy found me a new and SUPER cool Marvin watch!!!!!
To thank my mom for being so awesome and putting up with us through the trip (we could get a little weird while we were talking) we decided to get her a gift from all of us. So we went into one of those dress up old west photo places and got our pictures taken, it was sooooo fun!! We got one of them framed and gave it to Mom. She really is great for coming along with us and driving us around and listening to our silliness. Thanks Mom! (Even though she doesn't read this :)

And now for the pictures:

and now for some quotes of the day:

"Synchronized soda lifting" ~Abby

"I need my glasses." ~Momo
"I know that, that's why I keep offering you my butt, but it's not working." ~Lindsay

Momo, Toto and I went to the zoo today! Momo came over and we walked over Toto's, Haley street changes names 3 times! It's weird. And after getting Toto, who was wearing 2 ace bandages on his ankle, we walked up to the zoo. We had a lot of fun, we saw the dead (ok maybe not dead, but really sleepy) lynx and hiding bobcats, and one of the mountain lions is named George. :D and then Momo chased Toto around with sun block, but didn't put any on herself and got a bad burn. (oh yeah, so did I, but its not nearly as bad ad Momo's :P )

I took lotsa pictures, especially of the escape roosters and all sorts of other things; maybe I'll post some here when I get around to putting them on the computer.

Then we went and played on the playground a little, and walked home, I was sooo tired! That was a lot of walking for today, especially after walking lot yesterday. But I had tons of fun, Toto is super cool, even if he does need two ace bandages for his mysterious swollen ankle.

Last night I went with Brandon and nokomis1339 to see the 3D double feature at the Union. Wow,
“It Came From Outer space” and “The Creature from the Black Lagoon” in 3D!

Then we came back and talked about 3D movies, and drive-in’s and 50’s b-movies and the 80’s. That’s the time I wish I could live in, go out every weekend with my friends and watch –movies in 3D or at the drive in. beautiful.

How can one be nostalgic for a time they have never lived in? Oh well.
It’s off to Littlepage for brunch and then Arcon, I’m playing in Bret’ game, “the Extraordinary Adventures of Baron Munchousen.” And then later on today im gonna try and beat Brandon in a game of laser tag. Weee! See y’all out there!

Yep, the weekend, welcome to the week before finals. Bah.

This is also Arcon weekend and Mayday weekend. Ye gad.

I went to Arcon last night, it was interesting I had fun playing in Bob’s comedic Shadowrun game, the other players were really funny and Bob threw some interesting situations at us (a drunken troll domestic dispute among others) I really wanted to get into Kat’s Pokethulhu game, but it had begun before I was able to get out of work. I did get to see paradoxcycle and his gf, much fun-nes.

There’s nothing much at Arcon that I want to play today so I’m going to spend the day at Mayday and doing homework. Then tomorrow it Baron Munchousen with Bret! Yay!

My parents are coming up today to bring me some boxes to start packing to go home. I really don’t want to home, I wish I could just live in town. I know that most of my friends won’t be living in town either, but I really like Oswego and at least then I wouldn’t beheld under the iron fist of my parents. Ugh. Oh well, I will most definitely be trying to stay in Oswego once I graduate. Don’t get me wrong there are lots of great things in Watertown. But I’ve lived there almost my whole life; im tired of it, its old to me.

Well Brandon is here, which means that nokomis1339 and riki_kiki_taco will be showing up soon for brunch. Weee foood! I haven’t been eating much lately, so I’ve very hungry.

What's Playing?: Nine Inch Nails - Something I Can Never Have

You know, I feel weird today.
I don’t know which kind of weird, but just weird.

I cashed my paycheck today, yay $13!
I put most of it into my plus plan, because I suck like that.

I’m going home this weekend.
You see, my old camera broke, but its manufacturer’s warrantee was up, but we still had a warrantee through Staples. But Staples was unable to fix it, so instead they gave us a money card to buy a new camera. Kick ass. So I’m going to go home this weekend, and go pick out a new camera, which is good, I’ve been getting twitchy lately w/ out a camera. I’ve missed so many pretty sunsets, and the SNOW!
Also I’m going to take a lot of things that are cluttering up the room that I don’t need. And bring back some other things that I need like my ‘bag o’ tricks” for the juggling club, and more bottled water and such.
I can’t wait to go home; I miss my kitties, and the puppy, and yeah, my parents too. :-p
Unfortunately, if I go home I won’t have much time to work on my homework and reading, which I really need to catch up on.

See, this lat weekend, Alex, a friend of mine came up to visit the campus and get a feel for what it will be like, and to hang out with us. And of course, I spent most of the time either entertaining or sleeping, no homework got done (I know, bad Abby! Bad!)
On the up side though, I did get to watch a bunch of cool movies, and like I said before, I finally got to see Donnie Darko, and all I can say is... wow! I’m hitting myself for not watching it earlier, and I now must own that movie. And we showed Linds and Alex some Lynch films :: Evil laugh :: I think we might have scarred them.

Now I’m going to go work on cleaning the room, it’s a mess, (mostly my fault, I admit) and I want it all nice and neat before Nikkii comes back on wed. (I MISS NIKKII !!!!)

Ok that’s enough for now toodlies darlings.

I saw a guy wearing a black shirt w/ writing on it, it looked very familiar, as he got closer I realized I had that same shirt... then I stopped... I was WEARING that shirt!

'One by one the penguins steal my sanity.'

He complemented me, on such a nice shirt.



ok ok I know it's kinda lame... but still... weird.

What's Playing?: Better than Ezra - Desperately Wanting

Whew, sorry I didn't pose earlier (yeah I know you all are just riveted to your screens on the edges of your seat waiting for me to write something. :-P ) but right after I got home from the Ren Fest I went to bed (At 9:00, wow) and then had to go to my grandpas birthday party (79 woo!) today.

Anyway the Ren Fest kicked major ass. There was definitely much fun to be had and eye cant to consume. :) We got there about ½ hr late due to the unforeseen fat that both Monica and I are incredibly slow in the morning. But that was ok because Sara was an hour late (we got to listen to Addison and Nate complain the whole time we waited)

Once we arrive it was Hella cool, costumes galore, shirtless sexy guys, and chicks w/ their breasts falling out of their bodices, kick ass comic relief (Don Juan and Miguel rock!) and of course all the medieval like food you can stuff into your face.

Monica and Nikki bought pretty hair accessories, Tom threw a bunch of knives, axes and other sharp (or dull, for safety) instruments of danger at little red dots on a wall. Poor Aaron was all owies (he hurt himself the day before; it was very owies-looking.) Nate looked dark and brooding, unless he was with Lindsay then he was all cute and happy and smiley (I have pictures.) Lindsay was all cool looking (or warm, very warm) in her period noble getup, and I, of course, took pictures, lotsa, lotsa pictures (74 to be exact.) :-D

When we got there we got separated from the mass of people that were with us, we finally found Sara before we left and I took pictures of Sara, Crystal and Heather G. in pretty, pretty costumes. But I never got to see Erin or Rusho :: pout :: I did get to meet Nates sister and now have a picture of the two trying to kill each other (awwwwww!)

Hmmm. . . Have I forgotten anything? Oh well if I did I'm sure ill remember it later! So, to conclude this oh so wonderful recount of the Ren Fest, It Kicked Ass! (and if anybody wants pics.. ask me!)
