*pissy beyond belief*
I just wrote a really long and awesome entry and LJ ate it. Why, someone tell me; is it that if it decides to bitch at you because the time on your computer's clock is wrong, it won't let you go back to the fucking post?? No, you go back to an empty window. I really know better, but you'd never guess.
Fucking A.
In ANY case, the entire post was me waxing poetic on how Spring means PaganFaire and Pirate Gathering and eventually Oregon Country Fair, and my internal debate on whether I should go to as many festivals/events as I can afford (ha ha HA...actually, SCA events are dang cheap to get into, even including my bringing all my own food) and have time for, and making a mental list of all the garb/hippie clothes I want to sew and/or knit, and whether or not I should officially join the SCA and the Moca Sozhinia (I can hear
singswithtrees saying "YES!" from here, on the second one anyway).
Also, I was mentioning that I keep getting this song stuck in my head, and I really need to find that, and my Beltane CD from the aforementioned
singswithtrees.
The sun comes up and it starts the day
So I grab a cup of my favourite tay
And I cross the creek where the crawdads play in their watery home
The weasel whistles and the herons hum
And the pixie pirouettes upon my thumb
So I know that the day has finally come, it's time to roam
CHORUS:
Pack our bags, harness the horses
For the frog just danced, the cat just grinned
I've now heard from reliable sources
That we're bound out on the festival wind!
A belt, a broach and a cloak of wool
And a tin cup, knife and a wooden bowl
And some sweet potcheen in a cruiscin full is what we'll need
Wrapped up tight in the family plaid
Are the grins and giggles of the games we've played
And they're all trussed up in the tools of trade to earn our feed
We bless the cottage as we depart
With Dobbin and Maggie to pull our cart
For they're sure of foot and stout of heart and strong of will
As we rove out in the light spring rain
The roads turn rough and the horses strain
But the laughter's sure then to ease the pain as we push up hill
When the day is done and the moon has smiled
And the starlight's gotten us both beguiled
Then the faeries dance, the magic's wild on a night like this
We dream of fancies that we would seek
And the wishes dear that we dare not speak
And perchance to feel then upon the cheek a midnight kiss
BRIDGE:
When we arrive at the village faire
Pennants and ribbons bright fill the air
Blacksmith, hostler and tinker are there
Magic and music extraordinaire!
Privateer's Revel! Who wants to go? Eh? EH???
