Well, poop. The chart and formatting doesn't seem to work, so I'll just post the text of the meme ( Read more... )

I lept in (8:15) which means I got an unbelievable 10 hours of sleep. I went grocery shopping and purchased the requisite Cap'n Crunch with Crunchberries, which I consumed later in the evening while lying in my bathtub reading leisurely.

The only thing resembling work that I have done this day was to drive down to the faire site and break down the ( Read more... )

Well, damn me if that wasn't a truly intense faire season.

A huge amount happened, both good and bad, but my overwhelming memory is of laughter. Every Faire day  I laughed harder and lived more fully than the rest of the days of the week combined. For all my whingeing and moaning, I wouldn't trade a day, not even the muddy, rainy ones.

Happy Happy Birthday, SMOKING_MAN!! You rock

What an unbelievable end to an unbelievable year. For all its physical misery, Memorial Day stands out in my recollections as the most insane and fun time I've had in a LONG time. I have never been so proud to be SAPA as I am now.

I'm a happy Sir Sharpie!

1. It’s all about the attitude. Once I realized how much fun I could have - and WAS having, all the stress and negativity just goes away.
2. Receiving kind words and kisses on the cheek from 2 of my role-models IN ONE DAY results in a wonderful glow that lasts even now
3. Beating up on oneself is fine for 5 minutes to make sure one is aware of a failing. ( Read more... )

1. I don't like humidity, and it returns the feeling

2a. One of the worst feelings in the world is when - due to heat, humidity, and sleep deprivation - you look at your fight partner and have no recollection of what the hell you're supposed to do next
2b. To make sure that I am NOT sleep deprived, from now on the night before a Faire day I will be ( Read more... )

Overall, a very fun weekend; lots to do and to laugh at.

Sharpe went places he had never been before...several of them - hopefully - he'll never have to go again! On the other hand, the physical and emotional toll for running around like a loony was hell to pay. Physical exhaustion made me cranky and it was harder to deal with interpersonal issues ( Read more... )
