| Hi-oh again. I know I said I would write more, but I didn't. If by some chance you sweat with anticipation of my every word, then I apologize. If not, maybe we should get to know each other and leave those other creepy people to their own devices.
The big update right now is that I had a long talk about life with my fencing master the other day. To summarize; the sharpest sword is forged in the hottest flame. Basically, there is no way to become a mature adult without going through all the painful and annoying bullshit of youth. It's the bullshit of youth that makes you a mature adult. The kids who got highschool all figured out, who know how everything works and are completely content with their lives. They stay that way, they drive a beat-up truck to the class reunion, they weigh a few hundred pounds and don't shave. That last part was my own idea, I guess it makes me feel better. Maitre Crown also talked to me about how I care about stuff so much. I care about what people think of me. Unfortunately, that includes assholes. When someone doesn't like me, I see it as a problem with myself instead of a problem with them. Basically he told me,"If they're your friends they'll like you anyway, if not, Fuck 'em." He's a pretty cool guy.
On the subject of fencing, I bouted for the first time in a few months recently. I also used epee for the first time ever. The difference between epee and foil is that with epee, the entire body; head, legs, arms, wrists, chest, etc. is a target whereas with foil only the torso is allowed. The epee also has a much stiffer blade than the foil. We used little crowns on the tip of the sword, they have some strange french name that I can't spell or pronounce, but there were little spikes on it that are intended to catch on someone's suit. Lucky me, my opponent's crown thing pierced my glove and gouged a little chunk of skin from my wrist. So I got my first injury from a sword. COOL =)
I'm also kind of freaking out about college applications. I have a lot to do and not much time to do it in.
That's quite enough of complaining for now. I am currently in an unexplainably happy mood. I should be working on my EDD project right now. I'm not. It doesn't really bother me. I feel like dancing around and screaming," I feel happy!"
Heh heh heh...
I miss talking to you guys.
Hmmm....
I'm running out of things to say. I guess that's it for now. Bye-bye. |
