Oh, geez. This Saturday I'm going to Oregon to meet my dads family for the first time in my life. I don't feel quite ready to go, and I can't help but to feel nervous. Or at least all, weird. sweatdrop

Akshamala Lorysa Akshamala Wow. I got to be Queen for the weekend. Long story.
I don't know how to explain this, really. The place we had the Encampment in had a huge meadow in the middle of a forest. We called the meadow Dragonville. And we divided the forest and called one part "The Enchanted Forest" and the other "The Black Forest". Ooh, ooh! One of the leaders even built a castle in the middle of Dragonville, it's soooo awesome! xd I should show pictures!
Anyway, I guess we had some sort of a storyline going on when the girls were doing all of their activities. Basically, there's a dragon who laid seven dragon eggs in The Enchanted Forest, which were ready to be hatched soon. In The Dark Forest lived The Black Knight, who you can guess is the 'bad guy' in this story. The White Knight (the good guy, of course) protected the Queen and Dragonville from The Black Knight. These were the only characters in the story, if I remember correctly. And guess who I was! xd
In the first part of the day, we had a 'Mystery Hour'. Oh, I guess there were more characters. During the activities a storyteller would come in and start telling them about the dragon, the two knights, etc. and the girls didn't knew who these characters were. I think I blew it off by signing 'Queen Aimee' in the girls autograph scrolls in one of the activities, but oh well.
At dinner time, this is where my big role came in. I made a beautiful renaissance dress (again, I should show pictures) and wore it as a queen costume. At this point no one could see me yet because it was a surprise. I even had tarp thrown on top of me until I came inside the castle. When everyone was seated, trumpets blew and I came out of the castle and sat in my... um... royal dinner table... thingie? Bah, anyway, I thought it was really funny when the little girl scouts (ages 6 and up, mind you) started to believe I really was a Queen. Two different girl scouts kept coming to my table to try to talk to me, and one even started singing a song! It was so adorable. After that one of the leaders encouraged the girls to start "Entertaining the Queen" which resulted little girls doing back flips, singing, showing off their flexibility, and even putting up short skits. All just for me, too! They were all so CUTE! And I'll never forget it.
After dinner we went to the flagpole and one of the storytellers ran from the direction of The Enchanted Forest and told everybody that all seven of the dragons eggs were stolen by The Black Knight. Six scrolls were left behind by The Black Knight, each contained a riddle that led to the eggs. Eventually, the girls found six of the dragon eggs. But one had yet to be found.
In the next day, I came out of the castle with my queen costume. The White Knight was there and escorted me to my seat, and the games began. The girls were able to do jousting and.. some other stuff. Not for real, of course! Again, I have to say they were all so cute! 4laugh When the games were done The Black Knight appeared with the seventh dragon egg and started sword fighting with The White Knight. Oh, and they were fighting with real swords, by the way. Apparently they take classes with this sort of thing. Anyway, needless to say The Black Knight lost and ran way, never to be seen again. And the girls helped The White Knight return the last dragon egg.
I have many more details than this, but there is too little time to write it down. At least for tonight.
I'm overreacting, it's just that I love meadows and things...
And you should just take deep breaths. Are you glad to go?

That -does- sound like fun. eek No group I'm part of has ever done something so... Detailed! gonk
Although we -did- have a midevil ages day once for Church. It was pretty fun, we even had a real, midevil ages style mass all in Latin. 3nodding That's just about the only really cool thing I can remember. Other things were, like, making a shield out of that posterboard-stuff. xd And collecting wooden nickels.

Our girl scout troop were very excited when we chose to do the medieval theme. And we worked our butts off to make this work. Believe me. gonk But it turned out so fantastic! I'm so glad our work paid off.
I think one of my troop leaders (he built the castle and pretty much helped to do everything else in the Encampment) even got sick and threw up because he was working so hard! eek
I must admit, I started to get a little grouchy because we worked so much on it. sweatdrop But being Queen and all, it was worth it. I'm so glad to be a part of it.
GAAAAAHHHH! I want to show pictures! It was so cool! gonk

Hmmm... come to think of it, I think the Encampment was the reason why I couldn't be on Gaia for so long. xd

Lorysa I'd usually wait a few hours to reply so it wouldn't make me look like I'm here all the time, but since you can't go to sleep, it wouldn't matter... I was wondering where you went! But I don't know you well so I just forgot. Where do you work that takes so much time?!
I'm pretty much working full-time.
