Only Slightly Hurt
Wednesday 3rd May

Mo: My X-ray's this coming Tuesday, heh. And before that on Monday I have a check-up about the operation I had last year... it's shaping up to be a fun week so far.

Kei: *hugs*

Sara: I miss you too.

Ken: Thanks ^_^ Nice avatar, by the way :p

Saturday 13th May

Emmelie: If I hadn't had breakfast I would have passed out. I almost did when I took a crack to my knee with a sword Christmas two years back, and that wasn't any fun.

And yeah, the sword is made of a steel alloy, but it's been used so much and it can start to develop faults in specific places if it tends to undergo a lot of stress in that area. It's just one of those things. It was a fantastic sword, but I can still make it into something worthwhile.

Liam: The swords aren't from our usual swordsmiths- they're cheap Indian replicas of Cavalry Sabres that begin life sharp, but we blunt them down and practice because they're the only ones we can find that suit that particular period. They just hadn't been blunted yet.

Sami: Yeah, sounds like something they'd do. And you do have to lose a certain amount of common sense to do reenactment.

Problem with this period is that you didn't wear armoured gauntlets; if I had been it would have been no trouble, but we were practicing for something later in History.

Kei: Yeah, heh. I don't think it'll happen again.

Akamaru: I don't like pain; it just happens to me more often than perhaps it should. It's not like I go out to get hurt, but when you throw yourself into something you are going to get that much closer to the action, heh.

Annsie: Thanks ^_^ *hugs*



[EDIT: Okay, for some reason adding in new tables in posts screws everything up. I've just had to delete three posts. Oh well.]

Have you ever chased after something for so long you've forgotten why it was so vital to you?

I never really got over the end of a relationship I had with someone quite some months ago. And over the last few weeks we'd been getting back in touch much more, and even though I could spell out to myself why it wouldn't work, I wanted to try and pursue it anyway. I just wanted to be close.

And I'd geared myself up so many times to try and tell her how I felt, but now... it doesn't seem right any more. And I'm back to where I was. Which isn't an entirely bad thing, but it doesn't feel particularly great right now. I wish... ah, never mind.

Passing each other
My hands' doing okay now; thanks for your concern ^_^

London was great- there's this fantastic Pixar exhibition on at the moment with THE BEST moving display I've ever seen. It's simply awe-inspiring. And the R.O.D manga's just being released in English now, which pleases me no end. Although the latest edition of Tsubasa I picked up had two of the chapters repeated in the middle, so there's some story I missed >.>; Must contact Del Rey about that.

Work's been alright, too. Haven't done as much as I was intending do but it's not a huge rush at the moment. Just piecing things together, and then we'll run a blitz on pushing advertisement and marketing to drum up interest (and hopefully some money).

Went out last night, too. That was interesting, heh. Mike got absolutely smashed, and while I was due to be staying at Gemma's (where my car was), she thought it'd be best if we escorted him home and stayed the night to look after him. He's really funny when he's plastered, but impossible to try and compromise with.

"Mike, drink your water."

"I want to go to bed."

"Okay, but you should drink your water first."

"Look! Twisty!" [N.B. 'Twisty' is a book of carpet samples]

"Yes, it is. Now drink your water."

"We're redecoratin'."

"Mike, drink."

"I'm so sex-ee! I was fighting the ladies off tonight Did you see me?"

"..."

And so-on until he threw up in the toilet. Then we went to bed.

But I did have a much better time than I thought I would. And I discovered that I can dance, if given the motivation and confidence. Which is pretty cool, heh.
