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

[Var Greyshadow]

You're at the airport waiting for your flight and see those electric carts with their drivers saying, "Beep, beep" or "Watch out for the cart", and you start picturing driving around yelling, "Have a care!!" or "Make way for the cart!!" in your best faire accent.  It reminds you of doing equestrian guard duty at Scarby (escorting the knights back to the keep after parade - "Make way for the horses!!").

...When the thought of camping in weather so cold, four layers of clothing doesn't keep you warm enough; and using a dirty porta-privvy or a bucket; and eating soggy bread because someone accidentally left some of the food out overnight; and changing in a tent covered in icicles... is your idea of the best time possible, because it means you're at faire!

You know your a True Rennie when you work at faire and security doesn't ask for your faire ID and everyone knows you by name even if you can't/don't know theirs.

When someone asks you what you got for Valentine's Day, you reply "new pliers" and wonder why they look like this > 

You think nothing of driving 6 hours to help paint the booth you will be working at that season without getting paid, but wont run to the bank (around the corner) for your regular boss because they dont pay you enough for that.

You laugh at the fact that people consume at least 2 pounds of dirt over a lifetime, because you've probably eaten that much in one faire season.

I hope you remembered that Friends of Faire get a discount on their subscription!

You know you're a true rennie if
9/10ths of your friends list on Myspace is other rennies/faire performers.

when your 24 year old son tells you & your husband that he found a Jimmy Buffett Concert in the area on a Sunday in August and wouldn't it be cool if we all went together, which Sunday is a good day because the restaurant is closed.

While you are starting to shake your head, your husband responds, "Sunday in August?  No Way!  Sundays are faire days."

[Sir Morgan]

When you have a scarb made for a sword just to ware it once so people will say. Is that the sword from that video game.

When ever you get in a group of scotts or irish you start to slur words like you've been drunk all day.

And for me, When you hate to ware a coat when the clock goes to your feet and has a hood, plus you can get a nice serving girl in there to boot.

when you're walking past the bakery at the grocery store and your eyes do that weird seeing-letters-that-aren't-really-there thing, so instead of seeing the sign as "Garlic" bread, you see "Gaelic" bread and think, "Yes!  It's about time we get something good in here!" 

I was really, really disappointed that it wasn't Gaelic bread 

[Dracconia]

You pass up a promotion at work and a part in the school play because it means time away from faire...
