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

[Dallan]

When you're looking forward to St. Patrick's Day so you have an excuse to wear your cloak to work (the lining is green) without getting too many weird looks.

or your saffron kilt. Wore it twice this past weekend.

[Dayna]

When you wear your cloak to work Everyday and when people give you strange looks you stare right back at them!  After all, you're carrying a purse, a workbag and a chihuahua in a tote bag, it's snowing out, and Nothing is getting wet!

When you cant sleep, you pull up the forums on your phone and peruse the boards snuggled up warmly under the covers. life could only be more perfect if you were at faire...

[Jezzy MacPeaks]

I second what eloquentXI said!  I've been spending far too much time on here lately, but I can't help myself! 

Oh, let me add one:
When you're taking a 13 hour trip to Oklahoma to help with and attend your son's wedding and ask, "Will there be time to go to Norman so I can attend the Medieval Faire?"

[Dayna]

How about if you're taking a 13 hour drive to Norman for the Medieval faire, and wonder if you'll have time to attend your son's wedding?   

After all, there are priorities you know

You've been getting up at 6am or earlier on weekends during the run for the last thirty odd years to get ready.  You know most of the craftspeople by their first names.  But, you're still considered to be a newby by those who've been doing faire for even longer.

[eloquentXI]

The best part of your eighteenth birthday wasnt the concert you went to or the dinner you had with close mundane friends, but the Saturday spent at faire for it with your fairmily and having the King stop the entire parade to give you a hug and wish you happy birthday personally himself. (It was an awesome, thanks so much VIII!!!)                                                                What makes it even better and makes you the most excited is that your birthday this year falls on Pirates Invasion Saturday and you know there will be plenty of hell-raisin' to be had.

...your son comes home from school complaining that, in the movie version of "Romeo and Juliet" he saw there, the swordfighting was all wrong...

"They were using rapiers but swinging them like sabers!"

[metalcelt]

You consider the other Rennies from your home Faire to be like family

[beeboy]

your "family" extends all over the usa. 

[eloquentXI]

your "family" extends all over the usa. 

And there are people in your fairemily that you haven't even met yet. That doesn't matter though, they're still family.

[Jezzy MacPeaks]

*singing*  "We are fam-a-lee!...."
Can't stop the head from bobbin' on that tune.  *lol*

[jinx]

You use this thread like a checklist. 

You're planning a big move, and you end up choosing the city closest to most of your faire-mily.

You've ever inquired to the location of the "privy" in a completely 'dane establishment.

[Al-Nimer]

You can't be outside for more than a few minutes before something reminds you of Faire...owls hooting during the day, doves calling in the evening, good sized tree branches that would make a perfect natural bow.
