Rennies are different because...

[Mairte]

We slid out mattresses down the stairs....hit hard and OFTEN. So that might explain things....
In the relatively short time I have been a rennie, we are sure a unique bunch, everyone with their own quirks.

I've made bubble machines and bubbles since 1983. Years back a lad of about 10 watched me intensely for a few minutes and then came up to me saying "You're not like other adults...".   The Bubble Wright

I tried that too! It didn't have any adverse effect on me...on me...on me...on me...

Maybe it had a less noticeable effect on you?

Rennies are different because, well...hey, let's face it... we just tend to be good people.

[Kiss-me-Kate]

I have to agree with you  Merlin.  I have only met about three rennies that I have completely despised.
The rest of the 99.9% have been awesome people.

One thing that I've noticed that's seriously lacking in this list is mention of the skills of the Rennie. We are, at the heart of things, survivalists. In the event of a zombie we could all move to the mountains, set up our own primitive village, and survive just fine. How many mundanes can claim to have any of the skills needed to survive without a grocery store or fire arm? And then, how many mundanes could actually emotionally survive the loss of their technology?

[LadyStitch]

I hate to say it but one weekend at TRF we actually looked around our camp and found that if a disaster came  We already had shelter, ways to cook food, and could live outdoors comfortably and other than our techno guys having WoW withdrawls I think we could do just fine.

Rennies are differant because they are fluent in "Pythonese", quote a line from The Holy Grail and see if they don't run with it...

[Rapier Half-Wit]

RUN AWAY!! RUN AWAY!!

I have PLENTY of firearms but am just as comfortable with bow, tomahawk, sword & knife.  I actually await the day when technology crashes... I'd love to see an IT geek gut & skin a deer and tan it's hide.

Or for that matter, air conditioning, plumbing, or cars? Of course I'm saying this on my computer as I sit in my climate controlled office in my ergonomically designed chair, thinking I'd really hate to have to walk or drive an ox cart 50 miles to TRF every weekend.

  TRF wouldn't be a faire if that happened, it would be the nearest Village ^_^

[Tipsy Gypsy]

I think rennies are different because we're not afraid to step outside our comfort zone and try something different. There's so much more to the world than most people ever even consider allowing themselves to experience. I know so many folks whose whole life is work, home, tv. Nothing wrong with any of that, but geesh, don't they even wonder what else is there?

You...you mean, it's not?? *bubble bursting*

[Nighthawk]

And that, my lady, was my point exactly!
