[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Oh Seanie. And sj, too. Those experiences sound horrifying! Yeesh.
Interestingly enough, the night didn't try our patience so much as our pathos. Neither of us ever really felt end-of-our-rope because of the sobbing, but our hearts were just breaking all night long.
Preview starts in 30 minutes, then an hour show, a few minutes of notes and then hopefully I get to go home. Yay!
I kinda want to see a movie tonight. I'm almost tempted to make it Speed Racer even thought I know how bad it is going to be.
C & L showed up and took Adison with them when they left. Yay! And now I'll pop a vicodin and a dramamine and take a nap. Thanks for the advice y'all. And for just being around in general.
Nap well, Nicole.
Have a good nap, Nicole! You're a brave woman, doing that so soon after surgery.
Just heard back from the Japanese swordsmanship instructor.
Have you read Autumn Lightning [link] It's both the personal experiences of a student of kenjutsu and how kenjutsu reached its height as an art just before it became largely obsolete as a fighting method.
"In the changing of the times, they were like autumn lightning, a thing out of season, an empty promise of rain that would fall unheeded on fields already bare."
I skipped ahead to say I'm posting from home because o_a brought me a keyboard AIFG! He's my hero.

I haven't. I really don't know much about it, actually. I just saw the class in the community college course catalog. For my research interests, I really ought to be fencing instead, but this is a lot cheaper and more convenient, and I figure it'll still make my swordfighting scenes better than they are now! And I'll either love it for its own sake, discover a new interest, and stick with it, or I'll switch to fencing when my budget permits and unlearn/relearn as needed.
Uh oh. We're having a thunderstorm. Toto HATES thunderstorms. Poor punkin' is just shaking and practically sitting on top of my laptop.
