REN FAIRE!

I am going to the Bristol Renaissance Faire this weekend. And I am as psyched as a virgin maid on the cusp of becoming a robber princess! Aieee!

I am going with a fun group of guys and gals who are considering dressing in:

-neon.
-Star Wars costumes.

I admit, being good-naturedly anachronistic at a Ren Faire is tempting. But I'll be damned if I can still fit into that Stormtrooper costume from back...never.

This guy wins:

# of times I realized I frakking love rambling aimlessly and gleefully about the goodness and darkness of people as expressed through the written & performed word, dramatic storytelling, the moving image, and/or via vampires, girl detectives, and Simon Pegg---and that I should ramble forth freely because any day my brain could be smashed in or my hands could be lost or my sight or my tongue or my internet access:
