Feeling  todayBrand new kitten! Brand new kitten! (Changed 2-15-06) Tuesday, March 26, 2002
HAVE AT THEE! Was out and about impaling people on Saturday. Lots of fun. 'Course, got impaled myself a number of times, but such is the nature of life I guess. Well, the nature of my sport of choice, at any rate. I'm talking about fencing of course. (Granted, I could be out hunting vampires too, but that's an entirely different topic for another time.) This weekend, I actually did pretty well. Definately my best showing since I started fencing last June. Came in 10th of 23. I could have come in higher, but I got impatient and basically defeated myself. But as Sara (my coach) says, things are definately starting to "click" for me. Assuming that this weekend wasn't a fluke, and I can consistantly do this well or better for the rest of the season, I may actually end up with my rating before the summer is over. Ratings, for the fencing-impared of you out there :), are similar to belts in Karate. Ratings in ascending order are U, E, D, C, B, and A, with A being your topped ranked fencers (Olympians, NCAA college champs, etc. would be your A rated fencers). 'U' is what everyone starts out as, standing for Unranked (go figure). Ratings are awarded based on your victories in tournaments. To earn a rating, you have to do so well, based upon the number of entries in the tournament. This weekend, since there were 23 competitors with 2 Cs among them, made this a C level tournament. Had I won my last bout, the one I got impatient on, I would have ended up 6th, and earned my E. Hopefully next time. Monday, March 18, 2002
DO YOU KNOW YOUR INNER CALVIN? Found something interesting earlier....
Saturday, March 16, 2002
En Guarde Over in the links section of the page (that way <---------), I've added a link to the fencing club I belong to, Cyrano's Place. There is a picture of my on there, if you're interested. It's under the "Meet the Team" section. You'll just have to figure it out for yourself which one it is. SOME PEOPLE GO THAT WAY ---->, OTHERS GO THAT WAY <----- I've mentioned before about the Star Wars newsgroup I'm a member of, rec.arts.sf.starwars.misc (henceforth known as RASSM). Well, a couple of months ago, when the whole big flap about NSync possibly being in Episode 2 was going on, one of the other frequent members had started a Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA) sort of story, Star Wars based, of course. For those who don't remember the CYOAs, they were novels for kids and teens where the reader would be given several choices to make, and whatever they would choose would determine the outcome of the story. You usually had to make about a dozen or so choices, and the book skipped all over the place. Interesting to read when you're a kid. I don't know if they're still being published. (does anyone know if they are?) Anways, RASSM & CYOA. So the person who was doing it stopped, for whatever reason. Recently, somebody mentioned that they would like to get one going again. And then I pretty much stepped forward and said, "Sure, I'll do it." If I had been thinking a little more clearly at the time, I might not have volunteered. After writing the first post and working on the subsequent ones, I came to a realization. The number of posts becomes an exponential function each time. My first post, I gave the readers 4 options, which means I now have 4 storylines to write out. Even if I were to only give 2 options from now on, for each path, that still means for the next chapters I write, I have to do 8 storylines. The following ones after that, 16. The ones after that, 32, then 64, then 128, etc etc etc. A *LOT* of writing. Not that a mind a whole terribly lot, but I just didn't realize at the time how much I would be putting into it. Of course, I don't think I'm actually going to be writing that much in the end. One of the storylines *will* definately end in death, one other one possibly, I'm not quite sure yet. (For those of you from RASSM that might be reading this, you'll just have to wait and see if it's the path you've chosen. :) ) But the way I look at it, it'll be a fun exercise in creative writing. Oh, for those of you reading this that might want to join in on the fun, let me know and I'll email the story sections to you. ObeeKris Make your choice. Choose well. :) Thursday, March 14, 2002
Odd Random Thought If all the world's a stage, and all the people merely players, who's our audience and where are they sitting? Wednesday, March 06, 2002
Poem of the Day Yeah, I originally said I was going to try to be doing this daily. Then I started going back to the site. And then remembered why I *stopped* going to the site and doing this in the first place. I didn't get inspired as much as I thought I would. But, I have one today. bubbles holding shifting shapes works never contained by shadows the Muse never happier will she see it's flaw |
