So, life as it usually does has gotten interesting. I managed to wear myself down to the nub so bad last week that I put myself in the hospital last tuesday with Viral Gastro interitous. In otherwords bad puky, shitty, spewing from both ends stomach infection. While there I managed to get told that I might be one of the lucky contestants who seems to be getting what the Docs are looking to term Gulf War 2 syndrom. Not happy but after a brief over night stay I was released to spend the next threedays on my couch sleeping for all but five hours a day. But all bad stuff aside I did get to travel to Anchorage with MotherChaos for an SCA event. OF course the SCA has been great but tiring as of late however this was a great event. I went to fight and realized that I didn't have the energy and couldn't even hold my sword up once the fighting started. I ended up bowing out after one fight due to still being sick. All in all not my best showing. The weekend was still good and on Sunday I got to work with our current Prince who is an amazing swordsman and he and I worked one on one and it really helped me to refocus and pull my shit together and remember why I do this. All the technique aside it was the mental aspect that I took the most from it. I have started to travel an almost zen path with my fighting thougt process now and I think it will really make a difference in where I am headed.

All that and I realized that I don't like my job even though all the reasons to like it are there. Who knows why but I have to say I just don't like it. Well I will be back with more later but hey at least I am wrtiting right?

Man, you've had some terrible luck with your health lately. That really sucks, I'm sorry you've felt so miserable. Glad you're still going to the SCA events even if you can't participate as much as you'd like.

I don't care for my job much either right now, even though it feels like I should like it. Maybe it's just because I know I *have* to do it? I'd like it more if it was just a well-paid hobby, i think.

There are a lot of girls who have done sets in the deasert, lots have had swords in their sets, lots of girls don't wear shoes in their sets - there are many who have come before me and many who will come after me. Flux's deasert set is awsome, I don't claim to copy it nor do I claim to be origonal. Perhaps there's someting in the air or planets or something, I'm being way to sensitive and others are misusing their words more than usual. I'm not trying to be bitchy. Oi! Keep having fun with the SCA. I remember going to a few events as a kid cus my Aunt was into it. It was neet.
