OMG. I had the most amazing time at Lilies. Fair warning, though, this post may end up being so incredibly name-droppy it's not even funny. Then again, it is like

baronnemelisend's Romper Room, too. :)

Got in Tuesday morning after staying the night at my parents' house Monday (my mom is awesome and gave me all sorts of camping goodies). Set up camp, and proceeded to do everything, seemingly. I danced quite a bit Tuesday, and then explored much of site (so I wouldn't get lost throughout the week. If I don't get a chance to explore first, I will get lost. That's not a good thing.) and hung out with bards and heralds and dancers, oh my.

Wednesday was the day of the Lilies Ball. And OMG. FUN. Combat Petit Riens, Tangle Bransle with

huscarl105 leading the way, and one of my favourites: "Dancers, are we met?" The normal response is "Well met." We're Calontir. We went: "HIIIII!" That was all from Shattered Crystal's Ball Monday night (that I missed, but it's okay and it happens). I'm ready for more balls and dances and other sorts of dancing fun. I also made a recording for Calon Sound Project, and had a blast doing so. After this, the days started to blend in a bunch, so, I'm getting rid of the day demarcation. I can't remember what happened when. I just remembered that I did things.

I headed out and hung out with heralds and took classes. And hung out more with Leatherwolf. I can't remember what else I did, but I do recall hanging out at Three Rivers' party after the fireworks (a ton of fun! I squee'd like a girl a bunch). I also went to the Cut and Thrust demo. To be honest, I'm still in the middle of deciding how I feel about rapier in Calontir. I see both sides of the conflict, and I have deep respect for those on both sides of the debate. I made my first batch of lampwork beads. I was a bit of a slow turtle, but once I got the hang of it, I think I did pretty well, and I'm going to have to make more when I have access to a torch again. Day of Dance as sponsored by Trimaris was also fun (and if anyone has an extra token, please let me know. I thought I grabbed one, but I can't find it anywhere, and those are all sorts of pretty.)

Mikal the Ram's boat burning made me bawl like a baby. I wish had the opportunity to meet him, but there was a reason (as cruel as it sounds) for him to be spirited away before I had the chance to.

Bacon Bender with the Outlands. NINE POUNDS OF BACON. It was bad, especially since it was passed around opium den-style, and the platters of bacon and bacon related product kept coming. Part of the reason I didn't sleep Saturday night/Sunday. His Majesty Outlands walked me back to camp so I'd be safe, even though I wasn't that far away.

I am in awe of Drx's new song. I adore it, even if it does make me cry like a baby without candy. Must. Sing. More.
