Yeah, honey is a weird flavor for ice cream, but I think that's part of what I liked about it. The flavor never got boring, even when we were finishing off the pint.
The ice cream was interesting; the honey flavor was hard to get used to, possibly because the look/texture was so close to caramel. I only had half the container.
You should've been sleeping by then too! We forgot the book again... Probably for the best. I shouldn't be allowed any reading-for-pleasure literature until I finish finals (this is not going to be a great quarter for my GPA).
Hey! It says you are on - you should be sleeping! Tournament tomorrow... Nevermind, I see your last activity was an hour ago. So, I guess you must be (better be) sleeping.
Forgot to give you that book after the Turkey Meet. I'll be sure to bring it this weekend. I saw on Fred that at least one guy left after epee and made it to Windy City for their event.
I celebrated my first full day of being in my twenties by making a bowl of brownie batter. I did not realize just how hard it is to eat brownie batter in a sustained fashion. I think I'll be eating the leftovers out of my fridge for at least a week. I thought you might approve.
Your birthday wishes have arrived on exactly the right day. Thank you! I didn't fence spectacularly well. 1-4 in pools, which then of course meant I had to fence the second seed and had one of my most spectacular defeats to date. I don't want to talk about people online so I'll text you the who and what and how. It was lots of fun, though: all the fencers were chatting, three different people offered to drive me and the other Hyde Park fencer back to more convenient public transit than the train, and the last five bouts or so were done on one strip at a time so we could all gather around with the free food (cookies!) and watch. Chris Monti won and went from an E to a hard-earned B :O
Happy Birthday! (whatever day it was)
How did you do yesterday? Results not yet posted on Fred. Wish I could have been there. It occurred to me (too late to be of use), that I could have given you some idea of what a couple of the others fence like.
As a college student, I am pretty sure that I am actually just an overgrown six-year-old. I live in a building that is painted largely in primary colors, I eat in a cafeteria, and I spend over ten hours a week playing with swords. Surely this is not the life of a grown-up. Maybe some adults, but no grown-ups. I broke out of my funk (if two days counts as a funk) at practice today. First half we did fleches and second half, fleche defense. I know how to parry in prime now! Are you going to MCFC on Sunday? You should come and fence! What a treat! Also we can do real frozen dairy treats afterwards! It can even be Dutch treat now that I have money in my bank account again! SO MANY TREATS! FOUR HUNDRED TREATS! And it's my birthday eve. Conclusion, fencing epee on Sunday with me is a good idea, QED.
