Bed Manors
Most of you know that I was working at the St. Louis Renaissance Faire this weekend selling my wares. I love Faire, it’s truly one of those things that so very few people get to experience. I tell people all the time about how great faire is, and their usual response is of “oh yeah, the Renaissance Festival is so much fun.” and most of the time I then have to explain to them that they’ve never been to faire… and they like to say “yeah I have, I go all the time.” no… that’s not what I mean, you’ve never BEEN to faire before: 12 hour days, dressing up, night parties, sleeping on site, BEEN to faire. This year we were staying with Tiana’s family in their booth Tiana and Chris slept upstairs and I was downstairs… which meant I got a new sleeping partner, that’s fine I don’t mind sleeping with someone else, but when there is limited room you’ve got to have some sort of bed manors.
Don’t get me wrong, when sleeping with Snickers she could be awfully rude, but she usually waited until I left before taking up the whole bed rarely did she steal my room if I were in bed with her… although on occasion she did, for a little kitten she knew how to work her way to owning the whole bed. The girl I was sleeping with this weekend was horrible though, never stayed still, always licking my cheeks, and at one point put her feet on the chest beside the bed and puuuussshed until I was nearly falling from the bed… being an air mattress and me being heavier than her I sunk in my side and hers raised up so then she gets no extra room anyways, she’s now basically on top of me. I love Taboo and all, but she’s a very rude bed partner… not to mention the whole getting up at 3am to walk her thing… which yes the first night would of been no matter what since she was too excited about the new places to go potty the whole trip, and the second night was more along the lines of “wow I’m an insomniac and even though I’ve been working all day I still can’t sleep a full 8 hours straight” kind of thing.
More to come next week when I have breathing time, and possibly pictures if I remember… but working the whole time most of the pictures I’ve had the opportunity to take would of been before/after hours since I can’t be pulling out my camera when in costume, else they may believe me to be a wizard of sorts.
