So I went to Pennsic last week and it was AWESOME. For those of you that don't know, Pennsic is the modern medieval great war. All of us dorky history buffs that like to dress medieval come from all over the world to Pennsylvania just so we can beat the crap out of eachother, drink too much, and spend too much money. It ended too quickly. I miss it.

I don't fight. I'm a bleeder and I cry like a girl. But they are fun to watch. Well, er, all 30 minutes I saw of a battle anyway. I partied a lot and most battles are in the morning. I did managed to go to some classes this year. All I did last year was go to a ball dance prep class and they didn't even do the dances I learned at the ball I went to. This year, I went to an Illumination class that broke it down for dummies, a class on personas that really didn't help me much, and ... I can't remember the last one but I know there was one more. There were tons of other classes that I wanted to check out but they were either full or I was too far gone to go to a 9 am class. However, most of the parties were worth it.

I was way more into the club scene last year so I danced more and my tolerance was higher. In the last year I haven't really been doing a lot of clubbing or parties so my tolerance was lower (and the theme of this year was everclear) and I was looking for more mellow parties. The crush of the crowds really wasn't my thing though I ended up in them anyway. I even got kidnapped by another encampment. Much fun was had and I made some new friends. Casey, the camp mommy, was awesome though being that they all were from NY, she had enough temper for 3 people. Mike was quiet but once you sat down with the guy, he was very sensative and intelligent, not too mention a lawyer/writer. Pete was a surprise. I didn't expect us to hook up. I tend to go for the lanky guys and he's not but more than that I was sort of diggin on another guy from the camp. Though lord knows I can't remember his name. I didn't hang out with him as much since he left on Tuesday.

After the other guy left I didn't expect to really run into them much but on Wed. at the Men Without Pants Party, I was pinned talking to this white guy Erkle 3 muskateer wannabe who was trying to convince me of how much greater fencing is than other forms of fighting, all while hitting on me. I told him that I was going to get another drink and managed to sneak away when I ran into Pete. I hid behind Pete, explaining my situation, and asked if he would run block. If Erkle came this way act like he was into me. He was like "act?". Cute, right? So the party ran out of booze and I was only a bit buzzed and Pete informed me that back at his camp they had tons of liqour. So we headed up there, made a wrong turn, ended up in a ditch, lost my circlet, went back the way we came and made it to his camp. He played doctor and checked me for scratches and cuts then he rubbed my feet. At this point, I'm sure I forgot the other guys name.

Ladies and gentlemen, he was fantastic! Soft lips, instant rebound, strong hands, mild hair pulling. I was in heaven. In fact, even though we both had things to do (like go find my circlet) I kept making excuses to stay. But the man was hungry so we had to get up. He made me breakfast. Eggs and sausage. More points for him though at that point I was walkin funny and grinning permanently. biggrin He said he had to leave Friday so being me I went over there to sabotage his leaving. lol I distracted him which was working until the other (namely Casey) showed up. Then I pleaded cutely (tugging on the front of his shirt and saying please. He debated but not for sure. Then I pouted and he was close. I became indifferent and he laughed but by then he was mostly sold on the idea until he got kidnapped by his barony and taking to trail for the crime of going onto thier encampment without permission. When He got back, he wanted to go home. So I made quick goodbyes and headed to Dunn Phalin. But you better believe that I am lookin him up next year. lol

Coming home after so much fun was sad though nothing beats sleeping a real bed and taking a hot shower. I can't wait until next year.
