OoooOOOoooo
Okay, where did I leave off? Lemme think for a minute..... ummmm. Oh yeah! The hansen look-alike! Anyway, after we had gotten my sister the costume to rent, we then continued with the whole "gotta find a bathroom gotta find a bathroom" thingy. Of course, as I explained earlier, once my mom finally went to the bathroom she had to get a drink. I don't blame her though, after all, it WAS over 100 degrees there. You'd want a drink too. When we got to the drink stand my mom ordered 4 smoothies, of course, they said that we would need to wait 10 minutes because about four other people wanted smoothies as well. My mom asked if there was anything that we could get faster, and the lady said "iced tea. Oh wait wait, we can't sell iced tea because the booth next to us is serving iced tea." So we ended up waiting for our smoothies like originally planned. They were pretty good. We went over to watch this show called "Moonie and Broon" which were two guys. Moonie's show was on first. It was funny, even if he did make fun of me and Stephanie, who were sipping thirstily on our smoothies instead of clapping. I didn't even know he was making fun of us until Stephanie told me. I'm pretty slow sometimes. He spoke in whistles most of the time though, so you would be confused as well. Let's see, um.... we saw two gothic dudes there. they clearly stood out amongst all the people dressed in old fashioned outfits. They were wearing chains and stuff and all black. One had just-past-shoulder-length light brown hair that he kept tied back in a ponytail, and he was wearing this eyeliner stuff in a funky design around his eyes. A peasant dressed store worker stopped them and jokingly said "Well that type of dressing is not completely appropriate for the renaissance faire." The gothic dude laughed and said "I've come dressed as an assassin then." It wasn't a threat. It was just a simple statement, because, you would be surprised at what type of things people were coming dressed as. I saw a few people that looked like they were dressed as cave-men or warriors. Then we went and bought some expensive turkey legs for lunch, which proved to be slimey and not overly tasty, though stephanie seemed to enjoy it, despite the fact we had to peel an outer layer of tough skin off it before we could eat any meat. While we ate on the grassy hill (which for me was uncomfortamble to sit on because it seemed I kept slipping down it) a man dressed as a peasant was playing the violin, and the people on the bench swings were screaming, because that's what the guys pushing them told them to do if they wanted to go higher. After we threw our trash away like oh-so-good civilians, we moved on around the food court, where we stopped to watch the man getting tomatoes thrown at him. You'd wanna sock him too if you heard some of the insults he was tossing at everyone within his view. Luckily, we managed not to be insulted, but there was a dude standing there dressed in a kilt, and the Tomato-man yelled down at him "Hey! Scottsman! I have a joke for you! How did the Scottsman find the sheep in the field? VERY SATISFYING" then he made some gross gestures. *shakes head* that was a pretty bad joke. It was funny, but disgusting. If you don't understand it, maybe you will in time. I don't feel like explaining it at the moment. Stephanie wanted to go and throw some tomatoes at him, but I was too afraid at what kind of stuff he might have said. I know, I'm a chicken. Anyway, we went to go see if we could get into the jousting arena, but there was no shaded area to sit in, so we began to move out. As we did, we saw Mrs. hurt, our computer teacher. That was kind of scary. She wasn't dressed up or anything, and I was surprised to see that she was alone, well, at least for the time being. We moved on back through the stores and booths, towards the entrance. We stopped to watch the entertaining show called "Bold and Stupid Men," which was quite "Laughable". Hee hee. Laughable. Nice word. In the shaded area, we stopped to watch the trolls do..... stuff. One would make sand paintings, another weaved wool into thread by hand, and another, the female, made mud sculptures. A little rat would scurry around the barriers of the trolls' enclosure, and it was so cute! Ahem, anyway..... where was I? Oh yes. Stephanie wanted to go back to the Arabian area and get one of those coin jangly belt thingies, so we started going back the other way. A show was starting on a stage on the way over, but a lady standing on the outside assured us it was for adults. "Although you may already know about it if you go to public school," she said, which is funny, because we probably would know what all the jokes meant, and we don't go to public school. Finally we got to the little shop place where stephanie bought her jangly belt thingy, which I have to admit is pretty cool. We then got some iced Chai tea, kindly directed by the Unibrow Man, and started heading once again back towards the entrance. On our way back there were these two young men walking around pretending to be drunk, which was quite funny to watch actually. I tried to stop and look at some pentagram necklaces, but there were to many people around the booth being buttheads for me to really get through, so we continued onward. As we walked past the hat shop, the same two dudes who were acting drunk turned to us, and one said "Ladies! My cousin here is in need of a bride, do you happen to know where we could find one?" Of course, at the time we just laughed because we couldn't think of anything to say, we continued to walk, where another guy bugged us to try some free chocolate samples, and I got momentarily lost. A guy who looked in his early 20s was saying something, and I couldn't tell if he was talking to me or not, so I just looked at him questioningly. Then he said "Hey! I was waiting for you guys!" That's when he realized that i was confused and said, "No I wasn't waiting for you. I could wait for you though." I dunno what that last statement was supposed to mean, but anyway, we made a quick walk-through in a Renaissance Pleasure faire souvenire store, which was really hot, and once again started out towards where we had come in. We returned the costume that my sister had rented, which was then that I realized the Hansen kid wore black nailpolish. After the costume was successfully returned, we quickly went over to the wooden sword shop, where my sister got a wooden sword and shield. Finally, we moved on out and hurriedly went over to the car, because my mom's costume was almost literally burning her. 3/4 of the way to the car, i decided to unlace my boddess (Don't worry, there's a whole dress under it. Jeez, people) which felt really weird because it had been so tight all day. We quickly piled into the car and turned the air conditioning on. My mom managed to change into a sundress (don't ask me how) and we drove off to get something to drink. We stopped at the cute little Casa de fruita shopping store place thingy ( I hurriedly had to lace my boddess back up), where we got giant sodas, chocolate covered gummy bears (it's a sweet shop), and chocolate covered fruit. After buying the junk, we walked across the parking lot to another building where there was a bathroom. Some motercycle dudes were staring at us. I found it gross, because they were..... older.... I guess, but Stephanie didn't even notice. We went into the other shop, where there was a bathroom, and left again, got in the car and back home we went! That is my lovely journey. interesting, is it not? Long too.

yup
