Updating from study hall, this is becoming a habbit!

Feb 11, 2003 14:19

I think a lot of my fellow students are taking a secret course in Aerodynamics, because as soon as the teacher left the room, they started tossing paper airplanes around. And we all know that in study hall, whether the teacher is there or not, we MATURE students study, study, study.

Sunday, my folks, those wonderful people, returned the favor ( Read more... )

I know you'd probably completely disagree with me Beej, but training shouldn't be about fun and games. With the constant rate that this planet is coming under attack, we should be taking our training seriously. Having 2 Saiyajins who can go to SSJ4 isn't enough to save us from everything. And I think people not taking their training seriously made them reevaluate their positions the last time we went to war. Big surprise when they find out that killing is not fun and games. I think Vegeta is practical about training. He knows what it is and what it isn't. But to each his own I suppose.

I'm going to have to disagree with you, Vez, at least in part. I agree that a lot of people freaked out on that mission, and I also agree that we need to keep training and getting better. But I-I also think that in at least some cases, dwelling on what we're doing will do more harm than good. If I can wake up in the morning and go train with people and have fun and sharpen my skills, that's great. And I know this probably makes me sound weak, but if I got up in the morning and went to training thinking about war, about the possibility of killing again? I couldn't do it. At one point in the past, maybe I could, but I can't anymore. If there's anything this last mission made me realize, it's what a thin line I walk ( ... )

As I said, to each his own Piper. There's a thin line between battle and training that needs to be observed. And if we go into war again I hope that people realize that fact now. If you want to have fun, by all means, go ahead and have fun. But I don't think we should forget what needs to be done if we have more situations.

Re: futurebardock February 12 2003, 02:00:38 UTC

Vez, I don't think anyone "forgets" what needs to be done, but if training is always such a serious thing, there are people who will lose interest. I think even Gokou would lose interest if he always took training dead serious. But he enjoys himself. I do enjoy training, but I'd be a lot less enthusiastic if I was taking the attitude that all this was is a chance to train so I can kill.

When the emergency happens and I'm needed, I'll be there. I proved it with Froster, we all did, so I don't think we have to justify it. But that doesn't mean we have to dwell on bloodshed all the time.

piper_g February 12 2003, 05:38:34 UTC

*nods* I think that in a way, I have a better sense of what I'm fighting for if I don't dwell on what could happen. 'Cause I know very well what I'm getting myself into already.

Re: futurebardock February 12 2003, 08:01:08 UTC

Yeah. I know too well what all this means too. I know what it leads to and I know when I have to, I'll push myself and do it. But when there is no battle, I do like to have fun. And if we can toss in fun time with training time, that helps a lot.

We work hard, we play hard!

We work hard, we play hard!

We eat lots, we study hard... we don't really do anything halfway around here, do we?

Re: futurebardock February 13 2003, 13:51:35 UTC

Oh heck no. We even sleep like rocks in this house!

piper_g February 13 2003, 15:15:39 UTC

*nods* I think I'm starting to pick up on that habit, actually! It's not something I used to be particularly inclined to do, but I've found myself doing it more and more...

Re: futurebardock February 13 2003, 22:53:02 UTC

I hope that's a good thing. I mean, I know it's good that you don't have to hear my dad serenade you with the chorus of the deviated septum, but I hope that you're getting better sleep than you were before.

piper_g February 14 2003, 06:08:52 UTC

Yeah, I really am. It's awfully nice actually having a relatively set sleep schedule, y'know? Not to mention I'm not quite as... *uptight* as I used to be, I guess.

Re: futurebardock February 14 2003, 07:31:25 UTC

I never thought you were uptight. Yes, you worry about things, but I wouldn't call that uptight.

You do seem more relaxed about things now though.

piper_g February 14 2003, 08:09:38 UTC

I dunno. Whether I seemed like it or not, I always used to feel that way, at least. But I'm getting better.

Re: futurebardock February 14 2003, 09:36:24 UTC

Well, from the POV of someone who's not you, I never saw you as uptight.

piper_g February 14 2003, 12:42:19 UTC

Really? Wow. Then again, you weren't here the first few months I was. I was all nerves back then but I guess in some respects that hasn't changed much, has it?

Re: futurebardock February 14 2003, 16:52:43 UTC

Okay, you seem a little nervous right now, but trust me, I've been ready to leap through the ceiling all day.

Let's hope we can settle the jitters on the roof. *g* And if that last sentence doesn't look bad, I don't know what would!
