   Renaissance Festival
Just got back from dropping my friends off, after the Renaissance Festival. Today was my birthday party with my friends, I had my family one last week.

I love that place. To bad everything is so expensive.

I now have the best hat ever. Well, I think it is, anyway. It’s a beautiful Jester hat, made with nice material, and it looks authentic. And the bells look nifty, they aren’t shiny like Christmas bells, and they have designs on them. The over all colors are black, purple, and green. I’m wearing it now, lol.

I’ll have to see if I can post a picture of it here.

It cost $37, but my friends all chipped in by giving $5 each, I was very touched. And now I’m very happy. ^_^

I love how lots of people are dressed up, lol, even though some aren’t in customs that people wore during the Renaissance. The overall effect is great. I wish everyone could were that stuff all the time, basically take a typical outfit from that time and make it into something you like.

I have to tell my Brit Lit teacher that I saw Grendel’s arm in the Museum of Unnatural History, lol, since we are currently reading Beowulf in class.

I took pictures! Heather, Danielle, Megan, and Rachel threw knives and the razor stars and I got some pictures of that (I stayed away from the pointy objects, though it was tempting). Danielle thought one of the Renfest people that was working at the axe throwing booth was cute, so I took some pictures of him for her, lol.

One of the stall workers said to me "That’s a beautiful hat. Do you feel Foolish in it?"
Me: "Yeah, a little."
Stall lady: "Good, you should."

That may sound like an insult, lol, but that’s not how she meant it.

Over all, a very fun day. I want to go back. There was this nifty purse, almost designed like a Jester’s bag, but it was $24, and I want to be able to afford LE in October, so I didn’t get it.

One clerk read my T-Shirt, while we were waiting for Megan to buy a hair barrette. It’s the “Things You Learn From Video Games” shirt from Hot Topic.

I now have Pocky! Megan bought me some for my birthday. Yay, good stuff. It’s addictive, lol.

Ugg. Didn’t go any homework yesterday or today. So I have to do it all Sunday. Not fun.

*shakes head and the bells on hat jingle* I love this hat. ^__^

Whoa, this was a long post. I don’t have many fun days like this though, lol.
