Holy Crap UPDATE?!
Haven't been HERE in forever!
How are you, livejournal-ers?! Yeah, done with that (you can still tell me how you are, but I might not care). Hmmm, how to update...
Well, general recap: it's almost one, and even though I've been up since 8 this morning, I cannot for the life of me sleep. Which is odd, because I completely wore myself out today.
I tested for the next rank in shinkendo and passed (translation: they didn't tell me I didn't pass). So I got to swing swords around, both at air AND at people. Tony's so much fun to chase. I think I may have been partly contemplating Sensei's guy catching idea while sparring with him today (the idea which consists of taking out one or both of a guy's kneecaps and dragging him home; believe me, he WON'T be running away).
And in my nervousness about testing (AND in a foreign dojo), I managed to keep myself down to one puking session, and I only passed out twice, for a few seconds each. Both before the test, luckily.
I got to swing sharp objects around too, besides the wooden swords! They had a live naginata at the dojo, and with my minimal knowledge in the art was able to... well, swing it around a bit.
School starts in a couple of weeks. Whoop-dee-freakin-doo. While I'm not excited to go back to classes (or at least some), I will be glad to see people again.
Then again, I don't know about leaving Tony alone with the girls. I mean, how will he STAND having only ONE girl chase him around until October?!
Oh, long story as short as possible with this one: I like a guy, and like hell I'm the only one. There's three of us (only two confirmed), and the only other one "chasing" him actively is 27. He's 20. I really don't think I would mind if she were closer to his age, or if they were both older by about 5 years (I don't mind knowing the other girl may like him, but the age difference just really seems to bother me).
I guess, in the end, it's going to be his choice. But no way am I giving up! Ah yes, two outgoing and determined women chasing after a work-oriented and shy man. Even thinking about the situation makes me feel guilty. Well, I'm going to TRY and back off for a bit as I go to school. As for Tony, much as he I'm sure he loves hanging around us, we may come on just a taaaaaad too strong for him. The breather will be nicer for him, I'm sure, as what I've gather from conversations with him (and my obsession with astrology), he's not the type of guy who will be settling down before he's out of school and has a nice steady job.
Which may not work for me or the other woman in the long run, as (if you couldn't tell by the majority of my journal entry) I'm people interaction and romance oriented, and in a bit of a hurry for some lovin'. And while I don't want to call the other girl old, she is getting older, 30 in a few years, and talking to her often points towards her goal of marriage and soon. Either way, not quite the perfect match (at least currently) for said object of affection.
Eh, the year may bring many surprises.
We shall see.
