happo ken?



having been out of ninjutsu for a while, i am psyched to finally be back! the people at the quest center are awesome. i am very happy to report there are a bunch of twenty-something ladies who have joined in the past few months, which is fantastic. i can actually partner with someone my own size...though i kind of like fighting big guys, because most likely, that will be the type of person to attack me on the street - but still it's nice to share some fun with women like me :)

i really hope that if i ever was attacked, i would be able to have enough strength and piece of mind to put the moves i know into action. we practice so many sequences, that i think some combination would come out...whether or not it was exactly appropriate, eh who knows. at the very least i hope it would let me get away from the attacker.

i also realize that i have been itchin to play soccer. now, if you know me, you know i have a love/hate relationship with soccer. i love the sport, the game and the fierce exercise, but i despise my own career of 17 years. when i chose not to play in college, it was a conscious choice. i love the intense workout, the teamwork, the group mind. i hate the cut-throat competitive try-outs, the asshole coaches, the over-zealous parents. regardless, i want to play right now.

*ps* - i'm watching wife swap, and one of the fathers has said [fuck] like eight times and abc has had to mute it out and blur his mouth. he's mad because his thirteen year-old son is banned from doing motocross. HA.

Tell Hardy Merrit that I say hi.

Also take the rolling very serious. I injured myself multiple times from doing it bad.
