Having attempted life in the traditional convent for one whole day, I'm now planning my escape.
You see, there are just too many things on the outside I would miss...like this:

Muchos gracias to
verminiusrex for the picture of myself and the stunning
radcliffe...can you believe we had met less than 10 minutes before this picture was taken? Yeah, I love faire.
Thanks to everyone for your comments earlier. It truly would have been a much less funny situation had D not been the wonderful, generous person she is. I can almost laugh about it without blushing furiously. Almost.
In an interesting turn of events, I decided to wear my new Native Earth ghillies to work today, having decided that if I was going to be inserting my foot into my mouth, it might as well be shod in new shoes. They were declared by my various coworkers to be "Awesome!", "Comfortable looking.", and "Sexy!" None of them had ever seen ghillies before...which always strikes me as funny. Wore them with a full skirt in chocolate brown and a cute little fitted top...and I felt sexy and feminine...must wear skirts to work more often once I escape the convent.
And I can't resist sharing one of my very favorite pictures of the handfasting between
thebruce and
rowangolightly that I attended on Sunday evening, because it so captures them...it is the essential Brusi in one brief moment captured on camera and snagged with permission and thanks from
5rings.

Well, the bells have just rung for Vigils, and I'm going to try to make a break for it while they are distracted. I've knotted my brassiers into a fairly sturdy rope and have tied it to the bedpost (not really my favorite thing to have tied to bedposts, but I digress.)
Am leaving behind a stack of medieval romance books (read:porn) and a pink jelly vibrating egg for the sisters unfortunate enough to be left behind to remember me...may they be inspired to even greater things!
*sings "I Refuse To Be A Nun" in the style of
maidens_whymsie*
We are founding our own order: The Order of the Flaming Leopard Panties (so named by
fyreseer). Novitiates now being accepted.
(My humble apologies to anyone offended by my silly sense of humor. I need to let loose today, and this is the form it is taking. Bear with me?)

Date: 2006-09-08 04:54 am (UTC)Will you lustfully and brazenly kiss the closest (non-related..we aren't that kind of order!) sexy person you come across and whisper something wanton in their ear?
These are your novitiate tasks.

Date: 2006-09-08 05:12 am (UTC)Of course, you will still be required to perform a novitiate task.
Yours is to give the next sexy person you come across booby hugs, which is basically pressing your chest against them in a suggestive manner while whispering sweet nothings in their ear. (Yes, husbands certainly count!) Bonus points for signing something mildly suggestive to the next handsome devil you come across.

Date: 2006-09-08 05:25 am (UTC)I'm pretty sure you've already earned it, but what the heck!
Yours will be more difficult, as I expect a high standard from you
Your novitiate task is to convince a man at festival to purchase a pickle or sausage on a stick (your choice) for you...but you are not allowed to ask for it by name. This may be a patron, a performer, or a friend, and you may actually give them the money for it, but you are only allowed to refer to it by naughty names, and they must do the actual purchasing from the vendor. You have until end of faire run to complete this task. Bonus points for completing it more than once or enlisting others to do the same...every order needs converts.
You must then eat said purchased pickle or sausage in a suggestive manner in front of as many people as possible.

I have a feeling that lots of people are going to be very happy at the inception of this new order!

Date: 2006-09-08 12:46 pm (UTC)I even went out and bought leopard panties in honor of our new order. *Ahem*
Re: Umm...

Date: 2006-09-08 01:49 pm (UTC)Remember, one of the base tenents of wenching is to not have to apologize for one's control over one's sexuality. You saw something you liked, you damn well ought to be able to voice that attraction. Whether or not you choose to act on that attraction would have to do with the actual circumstances involved and whether said circumstances involved the necessity of certain permissions.
Period.
Revel in the freedom the choice awards you. Make no apologies for the joy and power you find in its expression.
