The Faire

So the Ren Faire was a success, I think. Oh you know, it was a little bit corny, and a little bit silly, but we had fun, so I still say success.

We showed up in large groups, because there's a lot of us, and almost everyone in the family came, including a few friends, so.... lots of girls, man.

I didn't take very many pictures because I know my cellphone camera leaves a lot to be desired, quality-wise. (I was also really busy and forgot rather frequently.)

I was a pirate, because because pirates costumes are easy to throw together. Amy put this scarf in my hair last minute and I think it completed my look. BOOM TISS.

I should have stood with my left side to the camera. You could have seen my epic sash better.

So we meandered around and looked at the little shops that were set up.... we tried on hats:

And masks:

At one point Queen Elizabeth I and her court came regally by. But, since we like Mary Queen of Scots, and since Elizabeth totally stole the crown from her, we declined to bow. We're rebellious that way.

We played with swords.

We found the Doctor. 

He was extremely nice and let lots of people pose with him. (Even though he was probably busy saving the world from the robots of Sherwood or something.)

This really nice glassblower blew a tiny wineglass for us, because we asked. Trina bought it because it was adorable and tiny. I purchased a bud vase, and it makes me very happy.

There was jousting, which was fun. But the announcer was annoying, so it dampened the fun somewhat.

We took shameless selfies. 

And bought freshly squeezed lemonade, because it was hot and we were thirsty. 

We don't know what scared Cinta, but she is alarmed.

We listened to a bard tell a story about how Jack O'Lanterns came to be. He's quite a good story teller, and he inserted some Firefly references which I snortled over.

We found the Doctor's TARDIS, and since you couldn't get much cooler than that, we decided to call it a day!

It was really nice, and I'm pretty sure I got a mild case of sunstroke, but whatever. Overall, much enjoyment was had by all.

Mkay, I must go, I have things to do and probably stress over.

Treskie out.

Lifey

It's been a while since I've done one of these.

Well, what can I say? My life is boring.

And I'm okay with that, because whenever my life starts to get less boring, I get very tired and quite stressed, because A.) less boring usually means more people, and dealing with people exhausts me. And B.) Being exhausted and dealing with people stresses me out.

Boring is so much better.

Anyway!

Le Five Randoms Facts:


1.) It's finally getting sunny and warm here, which means our trees are finally getting leaves, and our lilacs have bloomed. WOOOOOO!

2.) My best friend graduated, and I helped her decorate the cap because I'm awesome that way. (And so modest too.)

3.) We went to Barnes&Noble and I bought this book called 500 Drawing Prompts and it makes me very happy. Supernatural, season 3 was also on sale, so I totally bought that too, because basically Sam and Dean are my most favorite.

While we were driving home from Reno, at 75mph, the back right tire on Jarvis exploded. We didn't just get a flat, the tire blew. I mean smoke and everything, it was very exciting! Luckily there was a guy behind us who was either a retired cop, or a highway patrolman, and he helped us change the tire.

After this, I informed our mechanic that he has got to teach me how to do it myself, because I "know" what to do, but I don't know what to do, you know what I mean?

4.) I've been watching Gilmore Girls. Hurhur. I really like it! It's funny, it's sweet, it's the fasted-paced dialogue I've ever heard, and the sarcasm in it is fabulous. It's pretty clean too, so far, and I'm really enjoying it. I have one or too irritations with it, but overall, it's really fun.

5.) The other day, I was driving along with my sister, and as we passed by the lake, this inadvertent, "Wow." came out. I mean, the lake was so beautiful, and so lovely, I couldn't really help myself. And I just thought how lucky I am to live somewhere like this, where I can drive by something I see almost every day, and it still is so insanely pretty that I can't help but be astonished at how gorgeous it is.

5.) The Ren Faire is in town again this weekend, so we, and a few friends, have decided to go and make a day of it. Because we're the kind of people who don't really plan ahead, one of the friends is coming up today to see if we can slap together some sort of costume. I think we might be doing something Doctor Who-ish (because he's a time-traveler, see.) Or Steampunky, or just generally old. It's all very slap-dash and spur of the moment, but I'm excited. :) There's going to be jousting!  And it's going to make me feel like picking up a sword and stabbing someone! *dances*

Aaaand that is all my news at the moment. Like I said, my life is boring.

And I'm in a drawing funk. *Angry Treskie noises*

Alright, I'm out. Bai!
