   upstate karate
today was fun. andrew finally came back to karate class, not that im really happy about, because last year he asked if i wanted to be his girlfriend right after he broke up with his and i said no because i thought he was just doing that to get even with the fact she broke up with him. - anyway im happy cuz of karate class today lol me and mary teamed up when we practiced high blocks and it was funny we kept getting hit on the head , it was like "haha too slow" "ow!" lol then we practiced down blocks. oh- what we used to hit was with those noodle things. every time they say "grab a partner" we always turn and look at eachother. you should see us, its like scooby doo where they see a monster and then shaggy and scooby turn and look at eachother, we can read eachothers minds or somethin'. and it was funny too while we were talking mr.evan came up to us and while he wasnt looking i aimed at him with the noodle and when he looked back i started hitting mary again lol me and mary were talking while she was hitting me she said "my arms hurt" "your arms???" cuz i was the one getting hit. at the end of class when i walked by the mat i heard someone whisper "erin!" and i looked around cuz i thought it would be someone right behind me and it turned out to be mr.T he was out on the mat lol he just winked and waved at me, i see where mr.stephen gets his personality now lol i talked to mr.peyton about the black belt club and the nunchakus (never gonna get used to calling them that) he said i just had to get into the black belt club and id be able to work with them. oh i have to get some of them tomorow, i should remember to get dad to get some. its gonna be so cool ! >-< every wednsday at 5:30 weapons class, every day of the week during kempo after pre-test week , nunchakus, tuesday wednsday and thursday, kempo and saterday sparring and kata. boy since october my lifes become a LOT more involved in karate. yeah and i love it lol

Today i had that talk with mrs.T. (thompson.) i heard something that really made me smile. when mrs. T said that a teacher usually reports it if they think a student would be good for the black belt club.. and i asked ms. becki to send in a reccomendation for me to get in the black belt club. and i thought id just got in because of that. but she told me mr.peyton, mr.stephen and mr.evan all sent in that they thought i would. lol if jessi heard about this she'd probably be like "go erin! you rock!!" i really like the confidence she gives me. oh and today before class i turned around when i saw mr.peyton go by and he goes over to me and says "what'chu lookin' at?" - and i sorta stood there not knowing what to say "um.. you?" he always picks on me >-< but that just for some reason gives me confidence. im sorta glad to know that its ok that im not good at sparring right now, because mrs.T said thats ok, ill learn. but guess what else!!! theres a weapon class, every wednsday, not just after pre-test week, every wednsday. every wednsday! ^^^ lol she said i could also be in the demo team , thats the group that takes part in carnivals and stuff like one year they went there to show everyone what they could do, like.. um.. they'll show examples of what they teach, they'll do flips, and breaking thin boards and.. flying kicks and everything. one time the demo team even preformed on ice. on a mat that was on ice, though. it was awesome i saw the pictures. but anyway, theres a class mr.T teaches where they use chucks, but the correct pronounciation is nunchakus. you guys know what those are, right? well anyway, the weapons class is.. well.. i think its going to be always bo classes but.. im not sure. i think the other weapon is the kama. you guys have heard of those, right? oh well, its all fine here. but i havent told you about the other part of becoming part of the black belt club. its not a downside, just the hard part of it. i remember mrs.T's words exactly, she said "its not about putting a black belt on its about becoming a black belt. for alot of people that probably doesnt make sense.. some girls might even say "its the same thing" but its not. you've gotta think about it here. putting on a black belt, anyone could do that, but becoming a black belt is a completely different thing. it takes alot of work, mentally and physically. and for those of you who dont know about the work mentally, its because if you really love doing karate, then.. well in the words of mrs.T you have to want to be good , you have to think you'll be good, or you probably wont be good at it. same for any other sport, and i think shes right. i really like going to upstate karate. and i know it will get harder from here but.. i mean.. if you just went there you'd understand maybe. i think i could just go down there, or just talk to mrs.T or some of the teachers down there and.. id probably be fine. i just cant imagine me doing fighting forms >-< have you seen them before???? if you've seen star sets.. ok.. imagine something 10 times harder than star sets. i dont even know the moves. its.. alot of flying kicks. i forgot the name of that one.. um.. spinning hook kick.. or flying.. i forgot. i dont even know the position you move in, like star set 7 has a form its shoulder rolls and turning but you end up in the same spot and fighting forms.. they're.. *sigh* but ill get there. it just seems hard. ill get there. -- anyway ive gotta go, k? cya

i just got back from running i took cody with me this time *my dog* i hate it that i cant run very far up the street at night but.. theres good reasons, unfortunatly. *sigh* ok anyway i dont care much about that, but-!! i cant wait till my mom and dad let me start weapons class, i said id give up my allowence money for it. the only problem they have is they run me up there four times a week, including on black belt club meetings now. but i love it so much! ^^ the only problem is, first i had to deal with annoying people that didnt take karate seriously in the begginers class, now im dealing with preppy girls which are just as bad. atleast theres a few girls i get along with. the only thing is, alot of the friends i have arent into karate outside of upstate karate. i mean.. like i am, with my samurai videos and all lol one of my friends just always thinks about parties and stuff and those preppy girls talk too much which tends to get annoying and.. the guys.. well, the only guy ive even talked to is girly, and he talks to those girls too much. those girls.. they're.. they just.. *growls* they get on my nerves. anyway. i keep watching real bout highschool, i like it alot. for one.. well because the main character sorta.. seems like me. other than the fact she has red hair and purple eyes, i look like her and our personalities are alike. for one, samurai. lol except im not a good kendo person like she is, i dont even do kendo but i want to someday. oh and my school isnt like hers, but i wish it was. that movie.. just does something to me. i dont know why. i really like the spirit in it. and the emotion.. sometimes i wish life could be kinda like the way it is there. but oh well, i cant keep wishing stuff would happen lol well, cya everyone . im gonna go watch samurai 3 musashi!! bye! ^^

   Black Belt Club
Last week i got accepted into the black belt club. now all i have to do is talk to mrs.T ( the owners wife ) about the details, as far as i know the things i have to do are have regular attendence which i have she said, and i have to be detecated to karate which she said i am, i have to keep my school grades at a's and b's and i have to be more responsible around the house. maybe this is bothering me more than i thought because when i go to sleep, all i ever think about is karate. and the dreams i have.. about karate. sometimes about old samurai movies i watched like samurai musashi. every night before i fell asleep i used to think about rp's or things i wished that would happen or someone i liked, but now i dont ever daydream about that stuff. Oh and.. i never explained what the black belt club is. you dont have to be a black belt, you just have to be commited to becoming one. the black belt club is a group of people that stand out from the school, that are going to become a black belt and are more responsible than the other kids. i think im the only blue belt there. but the good news is that my mom says i could be aloud to take weapons class!! i think the begginers start out with bo's and guess what else!! theres this class where you practice how to use nunchaku's. ok i know they're pronounced weird, but thats what they call them. look it up on their website, upstatekarate.com on "arts" on the side panel thing. i cant wait till i start weapons class! lookout everyone haha im not gonna be afraid to go outside at night anymore, all i need is a bo with me except i cant go outside unless my parents say i can cuz i have responsibility to obeying my parents that im not gonna go against anymore, but still lookout ok im gonna be dangerous when i learn how to use a bo. well im gonna find something to do, moms awake, so ill cya - Erin

   belt testing
i got my blue belt!!! im so happy lol we were over there for pictures and the dude was like "ok everyone make a funny face!" im thinking "no ill pass.." lol and mr. peyton goes in front of me and snapped the belt when he went to tie it on me and i almost jumped back and he laughed >-< i dont know what it is about these teachers and trying to scare the students. one time mr.stephen just steps up to me with that challenge kinda smile and i just looked at him sorta in a way like a felt short and wondering what he was doing and he just put a hand on my head and i think i saw him laugh. and i had a look like -.- when i realized why he did that. the teachers like picking on me, i dunno why. i guess its cuz im always running around and stuff and.. when it comes to holding a horse stance i can do better than any of the black belts in kata class and.. they just like seeing what i do when they do that. i dont mind it that much. actually, its fun being there and they do that. its something to laugh about. i really like it there.. sometimes they make me feel like i could take on a black belt, even though i couldnt >-< lol and they make you feel comforted too. im more than happy to be taking karate there. well.. im.. im starving, i never ate this morning ^^;; i was too nervous about belt testing. well, tuesday im going to my new class. blue-adv purple i think. so.. im not gonna be going back to my old class.. *sighs* i think ill just go there wedsnday and watch, just to look. i cant believe im actually moving from that class. well.. i know half the people in our class i wont ever see because they'll drop out when it starts getting hard. i know a few people ill see in a few months. well.. ill know they werent serious when they sarted, oh well.
