Home or favorite faire
Scarborough is home for me but I've been to TRF, Four Winds, Sherwood, Serendipity Haven, Colorado, and Bay Area with plans of traveling many other places!
About Me
Most people recognize me at faire either running around with my SLR and telephoto lens or being the really smiley chick with braces. Not for very much longer! Mid-season of Scarby this year, the braces will go bye-bye so YAY!
I'm an artist, writer, and a photographer, all while being a full time student and trying to work and survive on my own. I live off of music, Texas sunshine, and citrus green tea.
When I die, I'll have been made of the people I've loved and lost. I give a piece of myself and in return, some will give back, some won't. I'd rather have given it all then have given nothing.
Hobbies
antique furniture, art history, baking, braids, c1c cmy, coffee shops, coloring books, complete randomness, cooking, dancing, decent liquor, drawing, dreaming, fresh rain, fruit, glasses, good wine, hammocks, hot tea, ice cream, impressionism, india ink, living, loving, making dinner with friends, military men, motorcycles, music, my family, native jewelry, old school mario, pac man, painting, photography, pig tails, recycled books, reeses pieces, renaissance festivals, roadtrips to austin, sarcasm, scarves, snazzy hats, steampunk, talking about nothing, tattoos, the rocky mountains, traveling, trucks, windows down
Heroes
My brother-a soldier, an honest man, and a passionate person; the biggest hero in my life
I traveled to TRF three times this season, Opening, All Hallows Eve, and Closing.
During November, I got really sick and had to quit one of my jobs.
Had some family issues come up during the same time but those have evened out.
In late January, early Feb, I had a case of shingles.
End of Feb, I drove down to Austin for Sherwood's inaugural weekend.
First part of my Spring Break, I flew to Tampa, Florida for Bay Area Renaissance Festival.
It was beyond awesome!
Onto the future! I will be out at Scarby this coming season but not as often as I did last season.
Opening Weekend, I will be setting forth with a couple of my trusted officers and future crew members of my eventual ship, the Hellshade.
Most importantly, 3rd weekend of faire, April 24th and 25th, is Rendezvous, the annual gathering of renaissancefestival.com. People from all over the nation will be invading Scarborough and its going to be one helluva a good time! We have a lot of fun stuff planned. If you need more information, please message me or head over to RF.com for more details.
That's it for now! Trying to get over laryngitis so sleep is needed.
Wow, so here's the recap of the past two months that have flown by so freakin fast!
First off, for those wondering, I am feeling great since I had my surgery in March. For awhile, I had to watch what I ate, because certain things like dairy and spicy foods made me pretty sick, but beyond that, I am back to fighting shape, only minor phantom pains but nothing significant. Yay for a full recovery!
Secondly, about two weeks after my surgery I was hired on at Rudys BBQ and was able to quit the hell hole that was Kroger. I am really enjoying my job at Rudys, even if its not always easy or fun, it's so much better than Kroger. I keep busy and enjoy the people I work with.
Scarby started and has flown by SO quick its not even funny. Seems just like yesterday I was getting ready for nearly all of the McLotofUs clan and my faire-family to head up for Opening Weekend, now I'm preparing to see everyone for Closing. :[
I've met some really incredible people and become even closer to some others. TRF in the Fall is going to be incredible, being that I can afford to go. *crossing fingers*
My birthday was Saturday, the 16th and I had an incredible day minus the rainy weather. Again, thanks to everyone who came to my birthday toast and an even bigger thank you to everyone who went behind my back and gave Gretchen money so that I could go and pick out my hat. I absolutely love it and cannot wait to wear it next weekend!!
Other non-faire related news, if all goes according to plan I shall be moving into my own apartment in August. I made the decision to come home to my parents for the summer so that I could just work a lot and try and get some money put away. My friend Kelli and I found a nice place a block from campus and closest to the Art Building so I'm very excitedly awaiting to start finding furniture for it.
Life has been so incredibly busy, its hard to slow down sometimes. I've been really blessed in the past few months with some good friends that have been there for me through some really rough patches. Things are getting better and I'm finally able to stop and just breath and realize how beautiful this part of my life is.
I'll be out at Scarborough all three days for Closing this weekend so if holler at me if you see me! Should be crashing either at the Super 8 or the Best Western right next door so if you're around, come say hi!
So how are you feeling my friend? Doing any better now that you're going home soon? Wish I could see you at Fourwinds again... WHen will you be at Scarby?
