Fuck.
I need to lash out. I'm very angry. It's in check but if given the opportunity I wouldn't be shocked if I just lost it. I'm just so sick of this.
My brother was a competative fencer a few years ago trained in foil, epee, and partially sabre. Yesterday we were talking about it and I expressed an interest in learning swordplay. We ended up going to the mall in search of a practice foil for fencing (since I knew there was some type of sword shop there) but when the place we looked didn't have any we started walking around. He saw the new comic book store there and was baffled. He apparently didn't know such a place existed. We went in and discovered that they sold practice katanas so he bought a pair. We got home and started running through practice excercises, basic stances and blocks for foil, but since we were using wooden katanas instead of foils the weight was an issue for one-handed fighting. So we switched to two-handed sabre which I like a lot more because it's more like movie-style combat (pirates, jedi/sith, etc.). But oh my God. I am so sore right now. The form is so exhausting when you're not used to it. The bones in my left foot hurt like a bitch because they weren't used to holding my weight that way. It's good though. Painful, but good. Thank God for vicadin.
For those that don't know I signed up with AppleOne, an employment agency as a Temp/Temp-to-Hire. I just need to show them my passport so they can start getting me assignments. I think I deserve props for making my money last for 10 months without income.
Blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I need to go outside where its cooler. I'm so hot right now. :(
