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

You look at the above pic of the improvised beer cooler and think, "Aw, now why didn't I think of that?!"

You watch a movie in which the characters are standing unsheltered in a downpour and get all misty and fondly reminiscent of the fun you had at Faire despite (or because of) standing unsheltered in a downpour.
        also: You see people trying to get their car out of some mud and you think: "Good times, good times."

The only reason you wish you had more money (if $$ isn't really a priority in your life) is so you could go to Faire more often, buy a bigger car for Faire, buy a house to keep all your Faire stuff in, and buy more garb.

You're excited about your husband's company truck because it means you don't have to ride the last 30 mins to TRF with the beer under your feet.

Your idea of the best greeting by your friends is when they pull you out of the car window, climb all over you, screeching, and take your bra off, all in a matter of seconds. And you're not at all disturbed by what this could mean for you psychologically.

You have to explain to your non fair going family members that yes its ok that you just got molested in public by the strange man dressed as a monk...

And yes Rennie greetings do have a tendancy to count as sexual harassment to the normal world!

 Most of your friends have strange sounding renn names- and that is what you call them- even when you know their real names!
Wingardium Leviosa!
Tis not the length of the staff- but the magick there in!

Zaubon

Those are our real names! It's the 'dane ones that are fake.

Or you confuse people by using the faire name and the mundane name interchangeably during a conversation.
And no one realizes until much later.

...or you don't even know their real name, and have their number under their faire name in your cell (if you EVEN have their number)...

And none of that bothers you a single bit.
Still Meggers, just a little more grown up now. :)

...you get contacts even though you've never worn contacts in your life, because you don't look right in glasses with your garb. 
(Not me, my best friend just told me that. And she's not even a big rennie!  Mwahahaha! :))
I aim to misbehave

I just spent the day with my brother in law who is a dork.. he was messing with my cell phone and was dying because of the names of my fair friends

You see that your window is shattered and your car has been rifled through sometime during the night, but your thought process is:

My garb!
My gear!!
My rum!!!

They took the radio (and the control panel for the A/C, the rotten #*$&*#$s), but everything important is still where I left it (*whew!*)

You have at least 5 months til opening cannon and already are starting to slip into faire speak...this could get interesting when I start training new people LOL.
The mind is like a parachute, its best when open.

You go into a jewelry store in the mall and see earrings that would be PERFECT for your Renn garb...oh, and they'd work for your "mundane" life, too ;)
