Array Apparently you don't.....
That's a good idea though.
Do your parents support your fencing? -

Array My parents are indifferent. My aunts were against it at first. You know how it goes,"OMG, WEAPONS!?! YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE WEAPONS IN THE HOUSE!!!". But since I got my own gear, and haven't broken anything, they've been alright with it.
Do yours? -

Array Well, right now we're in a huge battle about me having more time for fencing because I want to take it seriously, and they think that I'll never get good enough, but I know I will. Also, they have the strange idea that once I get good, they might let me drop stuff, but isn't it that you have to take more time before you can get good? -

Array It definetly takes persistance, practice, and patience. Time as well. According to your profile, you've been fencing for 3 1/2 years, and have just taken up sabre. I'd say you still time to grow. I can say that for just about anyone, though. Myself included.
What are some things you have/will/would give up for fencing? -

Array Yes, but there is also the ability to get as good as your current circumstances allow. Hmm... I didn't word that very well - did it make any sense? Pound for pound, the amoeba is the most vicious animal on earth. -

See above question. -

Array Well, Monday and Thursday evenings and the odd weekend, for starters. 
Uh, a lot of weight, sweating whilst climbing stairs, not being able to jog for a city block... for me, it's been more of what I've gained from fencing so far.
What else would I give up? Well, I would be perfectly happy to spend another evening a week or two Saturday afternoons a month fencing too. I'm not worried about ever becoming good at it, I just enjoy it an awful lot.
Oh yeah, and more money for more/better kit. 
What about yourself, what would you give up for fencing? Pound for pound, the amoeba is the most vicious animal on earth. -

Array Lots of time, violin and dance lessons.
Were you ever forced through lessons you hated? -

Array Yes! I had to learn how to waltz for my sister's quincenera. That's kinda like the mexican version of a sweet sixteen, I guess. I probably wouldn't have minded as much if I could've danced with someone other then my sister.
Can you name one family tradition you could've done withouth? -

Array Hmm... probably the insistence on going to Midnight Mass... why not a slightly earlier one where I don't embarass anyone by falling asleep in the pew... 
Have you ever fallen asleep in an inappropriate place? Pound for pound, the amoeba is the most vicious animal on earth. -

Array Yes...In my Spanish class. The teacher woke me up when she called my name to have me answer a question. My science teacher makes us watch these boring movies, once two kids fell asleep and were woken up by the bell.
Are you stubborn? -

Array When it comes to certain things, yea. Though generally, nah.
Where would you rather be? -

Array Fencing, which is slightly obvious, but other than that, somewhere that sells really good pastries or a bookstore.
Where in Los Angeles do you live? -

Array Pretty close to Pasadena. It's convenient to school/work, and I can take the same bus to Glendale whenever I feel the need for a good white chocolate mocha.
Edit: No snow at all, though later on in the mountains, perhaps.
Ever think about moving out of state? -

Array Oh yeah, I've been snowed in quite a few times. Where I grew up, the drifts would sometimes get so high against the front of the house we couldn't open the door.
