ok sorry girls but THIS is a long one.......

this post will incorporate 2 stories.count them two. first one is last week. well a week ago yesterday.

so as everyone knows i'm a swordfighter and a teacher of the art of swordplay. you may also know that my children also swordfight. i believe i've mentioned it once before. anyway last sunday the girls and I (Clyta my gf, Celce my oldest, and Rianna the youngest) went to the park as it was the last day they would be with me for a few weeks. (they live with their mom.) anyway we get to the park and run into and old friend of mine and the larp group he plays with. I talk with them for a bit then we go to a different part of the park to play. well celce (pronouced kelsey) desided she was gonna run the merchants store and rent out the weapons we had. but since I was the king i got a break on renting MY bastard sword......heh so i'm fighting rianna who turns theif and tries to rob the store since she didn't want to pay for a different weapon. the one she had wasn't working i guess. anyway we put her in timeout and i asked celce to join in. well she picked a short sword for her, and we began playing. she gets killed once and asks clyta who was playing the part of healer for a heal potion. clyta say sure but next time you gotta do me a favor. well sure enough there was a next time. so she goes back to the healer. and gets another healing, but she has to go on a quest to bring back an ingrediant to making more potions, as the healer was out. the catch was this the herb was in a cave guarded by a fearsome dragon......
now remember the other group i told you about? well i decided to have some fun with this. I went to them and asked if the group could provide me with a dragon. they about wet themselves they were so excited to be of help. they asked how big a dragon they should make, i said a small one. (ok i should stop and explain what i'm talking about here. in larp to make a dragon you need one guy for the head of the dragon, then one for each of the legs and one for the tail. since i only wanted a small one i got head and front feet. ie three people)
they also laoned her a small sheild by which to help protect her against said dragon. so i run back over to where the girls are. ...INHALE... told them i knew where the dragons cave was and also produced a magic shield. I gave celce a quick lesson in how to use it, since we hadn't worked with one before. then off we went. i told her i could take her to the cave but i couldn't fight the dragon for her. cause as king if i die who will lead the kingdom? so as we are headed to the other groups area. two villagers come running at us screaming at the top of their lungs...."HELP!!!!! a dragon is attacking our village." Well sirs and ma'am's
I tell you this my child while affected by the dragons fear still help her ground. the battle was fierce and skillfully did she dodge the dragons breath weapon. (the guy as the head had a bow and arrow. three arrows to be exact. she dodged the fucking arrows!!!)
then the dragon was down to just tooth and claw. she moved in and slewit's left leg first. then sliced the head and lastly the right leg fell before her skill with the sword. (i only told the guys to not hit her hard. nothing about letting her win.) I really wish i had a video cam at that moment. she grabbed the herb and as she was about to leave the village, the village leader stopped her. "My Lady!" he said "In honor of the great deed you have done. We wish that you should keep the shield that kept you safe from harm." they gave her the shield that about floored me. it was shortly after that that she chose a name for her character in our group. Lady Starfire. It's not everyday an 8 year old can hold her own with three grown men in the field of combat. and she's my star pupil. though her sister is not far behind.


now the second story I work at waffle house as many of you know. I also cook there on sunday nights. so drag yer butt down there so i can cook for ya's. anyway last night i was trying to make an omellette which i did make. i make rather good omelettes but this one fucked with me. as not all of it made it back into the pan when i filpped it. so i had to clean the burner. no big deal i have to clean them anyway. well i take the burner apart put it in the sink to clean it. and promptly forget that i haven't sprayed it down yet to cool it off............that fucker was hot!!!!! i burned my left middle finger.......i'm left handed *sigh* oh well so do you guys like my new pic? i like my eyebrows great for theater actors to have big bushy brows. means less makeup.
ok so the second one was short. i really just wanted to say i burned my damn finger cause i was in a hurry.....fucking waffle house.. next week i'm cooking sunday and monday third shift. 9pm to 6am.

i wanna see you people, i'm trying to convince them to give me more grill time.

peace out and all that crap.
