You Know You're a True Rennie if...

[Gauwyn of Bracknell]

When out shopping you see discount jewelry and wonder how it can be dis-assembled and then re-assemble into faire wear.

Your niece is born, and you immediately think "That child needs some garb.  I'd like to get something for her at faire."  And then you begin to actually think about what a newborn and garb would entail.

You spend more money on your spouse's character than on your spouse.

LOL. That would be my husband as well.

When the VP of the company sees you and says ARRRGH because he saw your Support Pirates sticker on the car.

I love my coworkers.

You have ostrich plumes in various colors and lengths strewn about your kitchen island in an effort to find that perfect combination.

You get a new account from Florida at work, and for the life of you, you can never remember the account number.  Suddenly one day, you're looking at it, and everything clicks.

The last 4 numbers are 1564, and that's during the Renaissance, and BARF has a Renaissance Faire that I've been to several times.

I've never forgotten the account number since.

When passing people you work with in the hall and they say "How are you?" you have to stop yourself from saying "The very modern image of a modern major general."

The power goes out at your house in the middle of making a gown. While everyone else would have called it a night, you grab candles, an LED lantern, a needle and threads, and proceed to start doing all the hand stitching you can possibly can as well as  mark pleating for your skirt.

You have to sew a dress in historically accurate conditions, and it doesn't bother you in the slightest.

if you work in a call center and get monitored for Quality.  Every person who gets all 100% monitors (hard, the standards are very high) each gets his/her name put into a hat, and at the end of the quarter, 2 names are drawn.  One winner gets a $50 Visa Gift Card, the other gets a $100 Visa Gift Card.

The Rennie part of it comes into play because today I won the $100 Visa Gift Card.  Tons of people asked me what I planned to do with it.  But there's only 1 answer:  Buy Garb.   Because you can never have enough garb!

your son's preschool make little paper Robin Hood hats as a craft, so you show up for the next class in full garb to do a quick talk and demonstration of equipment on period archery. And the teacher doesn't mind at all.
