Stuffs....
I actually got up at a somewhat reasonable hour today. I don't remember what it was, but I know it was nowhere near 5:00.

Today was spent online and playing various video games, with McDonald's for lunch. It's kind of funny, in my AIM profile I keep a running track of what I eat, and several people have reminded me to update it on many different occasions.

I went to fencing practice in a gray t-shirt and gray sweatpants. The sweatpants were still wet from the wash and smelled like detergent. My dad hadn't informed me that we had to leave early. >.>

So, I went to practice. I lost my electric bouts, scores 5-4 and 5-3, respectively. I then lost again later, but I don't recall the score. We did one-touch bouts, where the first fencer to get an on-target touch wins. Before I was stopped to do drills, my record was 0 wins and 7 losses, I think. Tonight was not a very good night for me, until I finished drilling.

My coach had me working on parry-riposte drills, which is when I stop my opponent's attack and counterattack quickly.

After drilling for a little while I was paired up with Angela B. We fenced for a while, not really keeping track. I was doing better with my parries, but I think she would have won had we been keeping track. After getting a water break, I was paired with Angela C. We fenced and that was that. Again, not keeping score, just practicing.

My sister drove me home and we had pizza for dinner.

After dinner, I strapped my Jogalite Legbands around my wrists and went for a walk. I got the legbands for Christmas and they, coupled with a little red strobe light, allow me to go walking at night.

What was sort of odd was the fact that I was the only person walking around. The few other people out and about were all in cars. I did not see anybody who was not in a car, not even in windows.

I walked down to Sacred Heart. Along the way I found two dead birds. One was about the length of my arm and about half a foot wide in the position it was. The other was about the size of my fist. They were strangely close to each other. What's even stranger is that these are the first birds/animals that I've seen dead around Groton. During the summer and the fall when I walked, I found a dead possum, multiple birds, and a dead squirrel.

But enough about rotting and decrepit animal corpses. I walked down to Sacred Heart and walked home. An unnerving amount of lights went out when I passed them. The number was such that I don't think coincidence could be used as an explanation.

Someone was out to get me. O.O

Heh, probably not, but it was still pretty weird; the amount of lights that went out.

This little soujourn has caused me to coin the phrase: "It's Groton, at night." With emphasis on the "at night."

I discovered something on my walk that I thought was quite humorous.

Indescribable is an adjective.
It's funny because it is a contradiction. Heh.

Updates to come, hopefully.

Arcadia must fall. :p
