Ah, sleep...
LJ is being very bitchy with me right now. It irritates me. =P
Sweet, sweet sleep. If you can't tell by now, I'm rather tired. I spent almost the entire night watching the Cricket World Cup with my girlfriend. That sport is so incredibly confusing, but somehow, it doesn't bother me as much as other sports. I never really liked watching sports, but this was really fun. Though I was barely conscious through most of it, I still had a great time, because I was with her, and she explained it to me. I had SOME idea of what was going on. =P (check her journal for more info about the time before this happened)
Now, pertaining to the day prior to this. It was pretty much a normal day, except for one thing: Aikido class. It started out and ended the same, but then came advanced class. Now, I practice at Nippon-Kan, which is run by Gakku Homma-Sensei, and if you look into Aikido, his name will certainly come up, him being the last Ushideshi of the founder. Sensei came in to teach the advanced class, and he started it by having us do rolling exercises. Easy enough. But then, he pulls out a Bokken (wooden sword) and has us do rolls over it, while he holds it in the air. A little more challenging, but it was ok. THEN, he goes into the back, and comes back with a Katana. Casually, he instructs us to roll over the Katana. In reality, this wasn't that big of a deal, but it's still unnerving. So, we did it. Then, we had to roll over a student (she's only 10!). Then, I worked with Brendon-San, someone who's just about my age, but infinitely stronger and possibly faster than me (I'm of a very light build-I lack a considerable degree of strength, but I make up for it in speed). He's been doing this for over 9 years now, so he's really, really good. I like working with him, though I can tell its a bit dangerous and he likes working with more advanced students, but he approached me for the exercise, so I was happy. Basically, he tossed me like a rag doll while I tried to do the same, but I was just starting the technique, so I wasn't that good. Anyway, I had a really good time, and then I went home, took a shower, played Wild ARMS 3, and then went over to K's house, leading into her entry, and then the first part of mine. If you are at all confused, good, because I like it that way ^.-.
