Renaissance Fair

Okay, so the renaissance fair.
Its this place where you honestly get to escape reality. The first step i took onto the fair grounds I instantly felt relieved of the outside world. After walking around for a little while and meeting all the amazingly nice people and the acrobats i could instantly feel all my worries and fears melt away. I honestly wanted to just run away with the fair and stay in that fairy tale land forever. All my fears slowly left me.
I always like to be around people I know but when my best friends parents offered to let us go off on our own we pounced on the chance to go venturing off. I walked on the dirt roads barefoot in my strapless flowing dress dressed up as a steam punk wonder girl.
bell just rang post more later (:

Henna

So I went to a Renaissance Fair recently and got a henna tattoo.
I'm not sure what to think about it, it was something that i had never heard of before so I tried it!
at first i was nervous and didn't like the gooey substance that the lady was putting on my skin, after it dried (10-15 min) she put something called Lemon Sugar on it. Its lemon juice and sugar combine (kinda like lemonade!!) and she dabbed it on there. The gooey henna sinks into your skin and dyes it a brownish orange shade. The designs supposed to last up to 6 weeks. I'm excited and i love the reactions from other people when they see it.
I want to go on google and learn how to make it.
Any thoughts??

Hooray for the New School Year!

Greetings Cog readers! I hope you all had a great summer. I want to hear all about your summer readaholism. What did you read? What are you hoping to read? I am grateful to our new blog followers and posters. I really hope to get the blog rolling this year. Mr. Eich, come back to us. You are hilarious and your posts make my day. What's on your coffee table these days?
Remember that you are free to appropriately discuss any media that young adults might be interested in. You can discuss tv shows, movies, books, graphic novels, music, video games, social networking sites. You name it!
Soon, I will begin this year's reading advocacy campaign, so make sure you're caught reading a book when we run through the halls in search of people to photograph. Let's get pumped about reading y'all!
I'm overdue in throwing out the first discussion topic and since the movie "The Help" just debuted, I'd like to discuss that. I read the book and watched the movie and loved them both. Thoughts?

C'mon!!

C'mon people! Why don't we post a lot ): we need to start checking out the blog and posting new stuff!!!
