- I wore a *gasp* short sleeved chemise (with elastic!) for the first time ever this weekend. I know I should feel horribly guilty, but hey, it was free!

- Late Sunday, when it was slowing down, I was singing Gamen/The Vulture (in English), and a patron walked by, stopped and listened, and said my singing gave him chills. He came back five minutes later and told me that, no, seriously, I should send a demo CD to American Idol. Heh, so much for keeping my ego in check. Now I need to learn *how* to sing, instead of just doing it, and how to blend and all that shit.

- I'm camped next to the same group of girls I was camped next to in Arizona. Yay, this'll rock!

- I'm making more money here than I thought I would. Woot! I'm getting dental work this summer!

- Every time I saw a flower person walk by I would miss my boy. *sigh* I miss my boy....

- I saw [livejournal.com profile] spanishbubbles on my trip here. That was awesome; it's amazing how you can not see someone for two years and pick up right where you left off (except for understanding lawyer-speak. Sorry, babe! I now understand how you felt when I'd talk about taxes!)

- If I seem to be posting stuff for the edification of all of y'all who read my journal, and it's not interesting, feel free to be like, "Hey, Deb, but what about Insert-Subject-Here?"

- It was awesome to see [livejournal.com profile] iarroganti again! Um. And [livejournal.com profile] gem_handler, and [livejournal.com profile] doveshadows, and [livejournal.com profile] dancingbearkat, and other familiar people too, but [livejournal.com profile] iarroganti was an unexpected surprise.

- I figured out why there's so much more dancing here than at other faires! It's because there aren't any dancing stage shows - no Morris dancers, no Royal Scottish Country Dance Society folk, only a few lone belly dancers.

- Ah! There's a picture of me from first day! Wow, but I look bad....

There were a lot more people at Siouxland from MN than in years previous - lots of Chess Match folk, Zilch and Lolly, the Royal Guard, and Gilly Dew.

... I need to rave about Gilly Dew for a moment ... I absolutely adore him - It's so wonderful to see him interacting with little (and not so little) kids... there's this touch of awe as they sit with him in his nest, for truly, he is magic made flesh and blood.

Roleplay goal for this August - In-character, talk to Gilly and see if he will say what manner of faekith he is.

I tried out my new home - a REI Base Camp 4. It's very nice, I like it lots, and I will have plenty of room. Now, I need to get a reflective-tarp-thingy to put over it and maintainence stuff (lube for the zippers and waterproofing for the seams).

On a similar note, I found out I can take down my tent in full garb, in sunny, low wind, 80-some degree weather, by myself, in under an hour.

My great big happy - I finally screwed up my courage and stood on the side of a thoroughfare and sang ... *big nervous breath* ... and people liked it! And I didn't suck too much! I even got tips - after Woeful Tones of all things! ... but now I have a bunch of people saying I should do something with my voice, and I need to figure out how to accompany myself on a bodhran, which will be interesting - I am used to singing while I walk, not singing while I wield things in my hands.
