When I'm fencing, its usually pretty hard to piss me off. I'm almost always in a pretty chipper upbeat mood. I am doing something I enjoy, so all is well. There are a few times though, that piss me off immensely. When this happens, I tend to go from being a happy fencer who occasionally questions calls, to a yelling, cheering dick to my opponent. 1) Making a claim that I find assanine. I've had someone say to the ref after I argued a touch that "ya know, its ...
Hamtaur escaped at least a week ago. Unfortunately the humane trap we set out for him doesn't work....because his body/butt is so big that once the trap door shuts, it shuts on his butt. So, all that little fat hamster has to do is wriggle out backwards. He sets the trap off every night. I am considering going throught he huge bookcase and the two filing cabinets he's probably hiding behind to rescue him from his freedom. In other news, the men's team fenced very well at the MACFA, ...
In the veteran combined WS, I warmed up and got April to stretch me before I started, and warmed up with Anne. I had three of the women from yesterday's pool in today's pool--Pestotnik, Slain, Stopak--plus Savino and Sachs. I lost two--who was it, Sachs and Pestotnik? and finished 3 and 2. My last bout was with Slain, and thouggh I beat her 5-0, I walked off the strip crying, my sciatica bothered me so much. I went back to April and got her to work on me, and she loosened me up pretty well. ...
Sciatica. Unmotivated. Pool of seven, 13 fencers in the event. Lost to Deb Stopak and Becky Douville by pretty wide scores (1-5). Defeated Sharol Pestotnik, Heidi Runyan, Jeanne Slain, and Anne Estrada (first timer). Seeded 5th. Fenced Linda Dunn. Down at the 5 break, brought it back. Then Sharol again, then Becky Douville again. Justin Meehan refereeing, Arkady didn't agree but I won. Gold medal bout I was lackluster, lost to Jane Eyre again, maybe a couple nice touches, got ...
This'll probably be more for me, because it's theraputic sometimes to get everything down. I've never really done this before, but then again, I've never really felt as passionate about anything as fencing. Nothing has completely taken over my life the way fencing has. I don't know if I have to set up my profile before people can see this, but I'm not setting up a profile, soo... Why no profile? Because I like to swat social butterflies into bug zappers, that's why. This ...
