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

[Rani Zemirah]

...you refer to your friends by the names of their personas because you don't know their real names!!  That would be me...

LOL  I have Faire friends from here on my facebook page that I don't even recognize because they use their mundane names, but I've got my character's name up there also, so they've found me.  I still don't have even half of them cross-referenced, though!!! 

[angusmacinnes]

You mean there are other names?? 

[Rani Zemirah]

You mean there are other names??

That is me as well, but there is logic behind it. Since we don't all socialize in person, and few of us will even put our real names out here (it's actually safer that way), your persona names are all we know!

If you see plaid and think tartan (did that yesterday)

You wear your faire bloomers to work under your skirt.  Nobody but you knows you have them on, but it was the middle of the week, and too much time between faires, so at least you have something of garb on.

And every time you go to the loo, you see your black and white polka dot bloomers and smile!

Yeah, I did this today at the store. ;-)

YKYARW you see an e-mail asking "Do You Believe in Fairies?" and you think "Well, DUH, I KNOW faeries!!"

Best one I've read so far!!!  LOL

you realize, while buying a third version of Gaudete, you have way too many duplicates for faire/medieval/celtic songs.

Example:

Whiskey in the Jar: 3
Wild Colonial Boy: 2
Kashmir: 2
Lord of the Dance (um... a LOT)!
Mingulay Boat Song: 3
Minstrel Boy 2 (and special credit for Shantyman's Minstrel GLASS)
Foggy Dew: 2


lol and so on!

When you realize an article of clothing is ripped and otherwise unwearable, and, instead of getting upset, you cheer because you can now add this to your horde of extra materials for Garbing!

[LadyStitch]

Someone asks you where they can get a pleated skirt for a guy to wear in a play.  You tell them he need  a "KILT" not a skirt. Then with out thinking you hand them a web site with prices, and what all they would need for him to wear to look like a proper scottsman.

When they ask you where they can get good bag pipe music you rattle off a couple groups, and where to get their CD's.  However when they ask where they can get the lastest top 40 CD you look at them like they have lost their mind. 

[Merlin the Elder]

?? Top 40 ??  Top 40 what, m'Lady?

You know youre a Rennie when:

you get the news that the hotel you work at, which you love, may be going under, and that your hours will be severely reduced...


and the first thought is:

"Hey! I bet it wont be as big of an issue for me to get off for Faire now!"


 

[Merlin the Elder]

You Know You're a Rennie—with a job in which you are considered "essential personnel"—when you don't have to ask off to go to faire...you just tell them what days you're going to be in another century...  "Can you help me on Monday?" "No, I'll be returning from the 16th century that day..."

[ladylissame]

You are getting laid off at the start of your home faire. The first thing you think is "If I can work at faire, I won't have to pay to get in. That will save me money!" Only much later do you realize that you will actually be paid too.
