Still getting used to this. I am not very eloquent. Don't expect too much.
I will post some "top fifteen" lists.
I will rant on about stuff.
I will clog up your internets with junk.
=^_^=
I have kinda stalled out on my lists... I have several in the works, but don't have the motivation to put forth the effort to do the research.
Good Fencing again this weekend . really wore me out.
(for those of you who get concerned from time to time - yes I have been eating. With these extra workouts I have been getting at least 1800 calories. I know people say that it not enough, but I am only like 90lbs... surely that is plenty. I think I was closer to about 2000 on Saturday. Protein t

I did a lot of fencing this past weekend.
First, there were my classes. No, I don't fence while instructing (Notice I did not say coaching . I'm not a USFA certified coach . by any stretch of the imagination. One day, perhaps.) But still, I go through a lot of footwork/bladework/etc.
Then, .the guys. are going off to a tournament, so I got to be the target for their practice. I guess it if we were all better, it would not be this way, but it is... we fence so much that we get tired and st

I am supposed to be at school. I am hiding at the pubic library - doing "research."
I was getting kinda miffed at school so I just needed to cool off a bit. I am normally way too apathetic to get upset by anyone, really, but today I just want to cry. I can't seem to, really. Some switch won't flip. So, I have a paper to work on and I'm just going to sit here, working on it, then slip back in after lunch time.
Oh well. I just thought I'd tell someone.

Fairbanks Fencing Club's website's Code of Conduct page has a list of Club Safety Rules... of Fourteen safety rules. I have been thinking about making them add one more. =D
Brookwook High School only has thirteen on their list, so no such issue exists.
South Denver Fencing Academy has fourteen, but they are not numbered and they are kind of in two sections; Yellow Card and Black Card. These result in less of a .please fix this. sort of vibe.
Boston Fencing Clubs is like four things, two o

Friday night fencing is fun. The crowd is a little different. There are the guys to take really seriously enough to give up their Friday nights. There are the geeky, nerdy guys who have nothing else to do on a Friday night. Then there's me. (Feel free to guess which group I fall into.) So, the silly boys like to kind of talk about stuff they did during the week and stuff, so there is lots of strip time available. So I get a really good workout. I fenced 4 people to 45 points. I was

Top Fifteen Lawyer Jokes (in no particular order that I will admit to):
01) The problem with lawyer jokes is lawyers don't think they're funny, and no one else thinks they are jokes.
02)
A man walked into a bar with his alligator and asked the bartender,
"Do you serve lawyers here?".
"Sure do," replied the bartender.
"Good," said the man. "Give me a beer, and I'll have a lawyer for
my 'gator."

Q: What's tan and black and looks great on a lawyer?
A:

I am currently sixteen years old, but I expect that will change, eventually - maybe.
I started fencing about 4 years ago, with varying levels of competitiveness. I mostly fence for health reasons (stress, fitness, sanity; well, 2 of 3 isn't too bad.)
The club where I fence is kinda limited on the schedule, so several of us get together on our own.
I teach a little kids fencing class at the local community centre, but it is a small town, so it doesn't always make.
I was infected with HIV in 2000, when I was about 7. I am living with it and have a descent life or I should say most of the issues I have were pre-existing. I managed to control things with diet and exercise, but since about 2005, my immune system surrendered and I started my chemical regime.
During the school year I live with my dad and in the summer I stay with my mom. Except this year - staying with Dad. They get along ok as long as they do not have to live together in the same city. Alaska is kinda big, so they can manage to be in the same state.
I like reading
I like cycling
I like music
I like school, but not so much the people in it... myself included because I am evil, just so you know.
Sometimes I have issues and whatnot going on in my life and whatnot and I will sometimes blog about it, but mostly I like making Top Fifteen lists. Just search for "Top Fifteen" and you can skip the malarkey.
