Signs of Addiction
. . . a month after the season closes, you still find yourself yelling "Huzzah!" at any live performance.
. . . re-watch any Tudor-themed movie and get misty-eyed.
. . . have Faire characters in your dreams, then wake up and whisper to your significant other "I see Renaissance People!"
. . . a CD with bagpipes in it has a permanent disc place in your car's CD changer.
. . . you go back to your local Faire homepage daily to check for any changes whatsoever in the off season.
. . . spend more than three hours of your life each year trying to find new ways to take time off your travel to Faire.
. . . upon hearing any Jeopardy question about Henry VIII, your ears twitch and your head tilts like the RCA dog's.
. . . your Newsgroup Filter only allows posts with "Faire" in the subject line.
. . . when you refer to karoke at any bar as "PubSing."
. . . out of instinct, you check where you put your mug after using any port-a-pot, anywhere.
. . . you refer to any month that's not August-October as "off-season."
. . . when you meet any castmember outside of Faire and they DON'T use their faire accent, you're disappointed.
. . . you proofread all your children's material when they're involved in a Medieval/Renaissance unit at school.
. . . you look for yourself in the background of Faire photos on the web.
. . . when you put away your ren garb for the year and find a pebble in your shoe from Faire, you put it in a jewelry box.
Sir Black Fox noticed these strange behaviors in himself and has been keeping a list of all the symptoms. Expect to see this list grow, so stop back often.
