Aoife In Wonderland

[Aoife]

Fencing class ~an hour... not terribly intense.

knee bothering me but I think it's because I'm twisting a bit at the knee while in en garde. I don't know why, but I have a real problem with it. I'm thinking it's the extra weight... I really don't feel as in touch with my body, I feel awkward and weird and whatnot... Even moving around in the play has been a weird experience... I'm supposed to be all flirty and junk, just feel bloated and whalish. ah well...

I don't know nuthin 'bout no trend. Just came across it whilst I was clearing out a folder of jumblestuff and said what the heck. If other peeepel are doing it I'll have to switch.

I was like 4... just a bit before I started school, I think, like a few weeks. There's pics of me and my mom too on that same day... wearing the same thing for some reason. I'm not doing that stupid crap to my kids. At least it wasn't something terribly stupid, just a white shirt, but still. LAME! Mother-daughter outfits are almost as lame as dressing twins the same.

I'm not terribly partial to them, personally. 2-hour delay here today, because they thought there'd be "bad" weather.

Oh yes... I think most all of us can relate to your story friend and the "starting over" thing. I've done it time and again myself. The good news is that with time it does all come back. Hang in there.

Well, saturday and sunday were both a bust, still sore in the arm/shoulder from the accident saturday. I'm gonna see what I can get in for a workout today, maybe a bit of elliptical without arms or something.

Sunday wasn't all nothing, I spent a bit on a really tall ladder pulling down a few theatre lights, and I'll be doing more of that tues and thurs. Hopefully the shoulder will be better, and there's fencing on wed... *sigh*

eating has been ok. only 3 rather small cheats in total: a small bit of cake, some pizza, and last night a bit of bread. Nothing but the pizza was worth it though. eh.

New logs posted and I don't hurt too much typing, so I might get more done today as well as homework and housework and dealing with insurance.

good job getting in there and doing the workout! Just keep pushing forward and suddenly you'll find that things have gone well, and you'll be proud of yourself for not stopping.

We had a woman who frequented the forum, named Mary. She was a competitive fencer.

Nice lady, knew her stuff.

It looks like an interesting sport, but I think I'd want to use something more hardy, like scottish claymores.

And on that note, always respect a woman who owns her own claidhmore.

Is that the Gaelic form of the word?

I think it's a mix of Gaelic and English, because I don't see the Gaels tacking on an e. Wikipedia seems to indicate the original was claidheamh mòr - Gaelic for great sword.

I've always been partial to big-assed swords... but the little pointy ones are fun and insidious.
