ok, i wasn\u2019t going to mention this to anybody, but why not, i mean, it\u2019s not like you\u2019re going to call me up and tell me not to.<\/p>\n
tomorrow, provided we can get all the necessary components in order for it to happen, i\u2019m going to go to a team fencing competition with kevin.<\/p>\n
but wait, you say, you\u2019ve been to these fencing competitions before.<\/p>\n
BUT THIS TIME I\u2019M GOING TO COMPETE.<\/p>\n
whew. it\u2019s slightly terrifying just typing that in.<\/p>\n
kevin today said things like “you\u2019ve gotten really good at fencing in the past couple of months.” he in no way tried to coerce me into it. jay is another story. the teams are made up of three people, and one of the people has to be female. kevin is in a team with joanne and flynn. <\/p>\n
but jay, he\u2019s DYING TO COMPETE MORE. jay is kind of an intense fellow. he\u2019s VERY INTENSE about some things, anything he cares at all about. HE\u2019S VERY INTO FENCING.<\/p>\n
he and eric decided to register as a fencing team, even though they didn\u2019t have a female to complete the team. they asked me a few times if i\u2019d like to join them, and i always said HELL NO I DON\u2019T WANT TO COMPETE.<\/p>\n
as a matter of fact, that was really the only new year\u2019s resolution i can think of that i actually had. NO COMPETITIONS.<\/p>\n
you may know that i suck at all sports. <\/p>\n
but now, here i am. if we can borrow a lame, which is a special jacket that has metal in it somehow so it registers when you get hit with an electric foil, plus if kevin can modify two foils for me, then i\u2019m in.<\/p>\n
i figure, why not? i\u2019ll be there anyway, and i certainly won\u2019t be bored. i haven\u2019t been bored at tournaments so far, as a matter of fact i\u2019ve been pretty nervous watching kevin fence. this will give me something different to be nervous about.<\/p>\n
i\u2019m going to attempt to enjoy myself and do the best i can. hopefully i won\u2019t be slaughtered by every other fencer who i fence against. so i guess that\u2019s my goal. i know that jay and eric will be nice to me about it even if i drag the team way down because of my lack of fencing finesse. even though jay is EXTREMELY INTENSE, he\u2019ll give me credit for just agreeing to do it.<\/p>\n
deep breaths, i\u2019m taking deep breaths. i wish i\u2019d been meditating, because i sure would do a bunch of that right now.<\/p>\n
whew. we\u2019ll see how it goes.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
grace on the brink of hopefully no great physical injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
