    Bon Jour!

    In spite of the fact that I'm fighting off the Pittsburgh NACS pneumonia, and miss fencing .A cheery hello to my fellow fencers!

    Frenchie Alert! If G?F? misses this, I'll be shocked.

    Anyways, welcome Jasmina. Why don't you tell us a little more about yourself?

    This is awkward! Not like IM'ing.
    I'll get used to it, I suppose.
    Just a slow and funky interface.
    Pardonnez-moi?

    Anything else? How about how long you've been fencing, where you fence, weapons preferences (sabre, I guess?), any other interests of note?

    Well, insomnia.. too much caffeine. Fenced about 5 years, this is my second season competing-feel like I am a total spaz.
    Violent, crazed-but out of my comfort zone.
    I fence at our location, just across the 5 Freeway from D'land.

    Take your pick. Insomnia, the fact that I just finished a pudding cup, unrequited love keeping me up, I have a few reasons.

    I fence at Pasadena City College. We have an open fencing night on friday evenings, though there's no fencing during the winter intersession. Should pick up sometime early march if you're interested.

    When I quit hacking up a lung-I'm fencing. Next Tuesday night- I start phsical training for the team. Cardio, plyometrics, stretching. Then a lesson with my coach, George from CalTech.

    Why does that remind me of a song? And why can't I remember it?

    I hope you get well soon.

    Juicy! Unrequieted love? Do tell!
    Do any of us have a social life?
    I'm having a dateless New Years get together with my fencing friends
    less depressing than hanging out with my cat.

    I have a psuedo-social life. Whenever an old lady friend of mine wishes to call, I usually have nothing better to do. *shrugs* Sounds like you have a good plan for New Years. I have work until 11pm.

    I'm fairly sure I don't know you.... but- at Coutourier in Burbank, or CSULB fencing
    I'm the woman with the very long black hair, physical therapist. Craig and Coach Jo ask me to do first aid- first responder stuff a lot.

    I'm fairly certain I don't know you either. I haven't done any competative fencing yet. Just at school for almost two years now. Though I'm gathering my gear, and hopefully I'll start soon. I should be easy enough to identify.
