Haven't seen this one start back up, so I thought I would.

You know you're a true rennie if...

...you attended any of closing weekend of Scarborough 2008.

...you marched in the parade carrying sword, pike or halberd to honor the veterans on Monday (despite the 100+ degree heat index).

...you wore a velvet Musketeer tabard, leather armor, metal armor, pirate garb (with captain's coat) or full noble garb despite the 100+ degree heat index.

....one of your co-workers finds your list for packing the car and asks what kind of camping you do that requires swords.  :o

....you go to reach for a sword/tankard/pouch when doing everyday things and become sad when you find none of them.

....when you prefer your food on wooden stakes

When your desk at work is transformed into a castle on your birthday, full with knights in armor and a dragon. Because your best friend knows you're a rennie and you work together.

The post above this one makes you incredibly jealous!

You're female and more comfortable in a corset than a bra :-*

You won't pay $20 for a mundane shirt but think nothing of spending $300 on fabric for a ren outfit you still have to make.

You walk a mile to the grocery store to save gas and buy generics, yet think it well worth it to drive 400 miles 1 way for 9 weekends in a row to attend a faire and spend $300 on a hotel room.

-Your kids cry on the last day of Faire

-Any vacation you plan you try & figure out if there's a Faire that you can visit.

you question spending $10 for mundane clothes at WalMart but don't hesitate spending $250 for a Moresca bodice at faire.

OMG is this ever the truth ... guilty as charged!

...if your friends see you at faire and are amazed because you seem more comforatable in your skin there than anywhere they have seen you.

...if you refuse to move with your family because you will be too far away from your home faire.

...if you cry harder on the last day of faire than you did the day you graduate highschool.

...if you won't study for your classes in college, but you study a garb pattern all night long.

Your feet ache, your hips are in agony, you're hot as heck, ready to pass out from heat and exhaustion, the car with its reclining seat, air conditioning is only 5 minutes away and still you stay, stay, stay!

...you go out to your car at 3 o'lock to cool down for a bit and fix the hair whenever it takes several attempts just to get the car started. You look at the clock, shake your head and go, nope, "Not worrying until faires over." (it did start up just fine later that night. ;) )

...plan your first road trips ever around a summer faire/going to go and see close Rennie friends/off-season Rennie gatherings

...you can have someone walk past you at faire and barely get a wiff of what their drinking and go, "Yep, there goes Loki..."

...are planning to have a favor-making/corset cooking making party with one of your closest friends from faire and planning to drive four hours to spend a couple days with them just to do it.
