On Fighting and Exercise
You know, I think I could use a fight about now. Really. Not necessarily to seriously injure anyone... it could be with foam-covered PVC weapons for all I care, and in fact it would probably be preferable to not have to deal with medical bills afterward. But it's the principle of the matter: I haven't been able to really exert any stress in a long

I don't know about physical fighting-ish things you could do, but I will say that, for me, Smash has always worked out as a rather good aggression/stress letter-outer, assuming I have an opponent of approximately equal skill so that we can both go all out on each other.

Not to be rude, but there's a good chance that most of the people you'd meet that way would be better than you at first, but they'd probably be willing to help you get to their levels pretty quickly, at which point you'd be set.

I keep forgetting to find Oni. I need to look into getting it... it's old, but I remember it being very fun.
And I actually identified a lot with the Fight Club style of support grouping. :p
By the way, any news on the Peace Corps?
