I have to go to a martial arts tournament in the morning (the thrilling conclusion!)
Huggle me, i is a scared pony!
I have to get up early, drive for two hours, wait an hour or two, then get into uncomfortable gear and hope I kick ass. I probably will. But that doesn't ease my pain. My only consolation is that I'll probably be able to sit next to the girl I like during the car ride.
I suppose I'll be fine, as I actually work much better under pressure, but STILL.
WISH ME LUCK MY BRETHREN AND COMRADES!
The saga BEGINS TOMORROW.
I WILL BURN WITH THE GLORIOUS MIGHT OF LOVE, JUSTICE, AND BEING 20% COOLER THAN EEEEEVERYONE EEEEEELSE!!!!
I WILL SLAUGHTER EVERY FOOL WHO DARES TO COMPARE THEMSELVES TO MY FLAME!
DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!!
BWAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAAAAA
I'll send you all the video of me wiping the floor with mutilated human corpses if all goes well.
I do not have blood in my body... I HAVE MURDER FUEL!

Just kidding. Good luck bro.
You'd be in my prayers if I actually prayed.
You'll need it.
Wimp.
Next time I post, this whole debacle will have come to an end.
A violent, bloody end.
Of course, its probably over by now...
That tournament wasn't at all what I imagined. I didn't actually get to fight until around 4, and... there weren't enough people in my rank... any... in my rank...
I expected to go up against someone who was my belt rank.
Or age.
Or height.
Or weight.
Or experience level.
My opponent was none of those. I fought a guy who is a third degree black belt (going on 4th), who is VERY tall, and has gone through a slew of tournaments already. It didn't go as badly as I expected initially, though I still... *cough* lost. I might have stood a chance if not for the fact that I lost a bunch of points for kicking him in the head an instant after a judge called time. Instead of a getting a bunch of points, I lost some, and was nearly disqualified. The judge who initially called it apologized for some misunderstanding which I am unaware of, so I got to stay in (except I I couldn't get the points back, as the rules state once something is called it can't be undone). Other than that, I did much better than I would have expected against someone so greatly out of my league. I thought he would wipe the floor with me but... in all honesty, though he is better than me... he kinda SUCKED for a person so highly ranked.
Since he was the only one in my weight division, I one a second place medal anyways. Victory by default! Hurray!
I'm much more proud of the black eye I got after he dropped an ax kick right into my face. They offered ice, but I refused.
The others from my school didn't do terribly well (except for milady, who went up against a rather... odd woman). Mr. Greg, the resident flying ninja monkey went up against a Master who has been the head of his own school for years. If it had been real fight, Greg would have easily kicked his ass; but alas, this was a tournament, and in a tournament you can't kick someone across the room. It was hilarious to watch; Greg kept kicking at him lick crazy and he would go out of the ring - at which point the strikes would no longer count, and Greg would lose points. He didn't lose by that much, at least.
The one AWESOME thing about the entire thing was the two hour car ride sitting next to the girl I very much like. It took a significant amount of time before I stopped feeling euphoric just by sitting down next to her.
"Lulz @ tournament-safe martial arts styles."
Agreed here. My instructor actually doesn't teach tournament style crap, so the last few weeks I had to buckle down and practice this sad excuse for a fighting style. Must I wear ten pounds of protective gear? Really? I am not a power ranger, dammit!
FATALITY
Well, we *were* in the backseat of a van, so she was the only one who would be able to see. And in that case, I really didn't have to hide.
If we were in the middle of the car, than I definitely would have.
What is it you do precisely anyway? Isn't like I've been in the loop long enough to know already.
.... On an unrelated note, my life would be much more epic if every time I entered the room, Progenies of the Great Apocalypse by Dimmu Borgir played.... I used to think I was totally going to achieve that some day, but ultimately I failed... just like my own martial arts aspirations...
water bottle he drank from. Haven't you been paying attention?"
I type in weird blueish-purple comic sans text and lust after some woman who's
water bottle I drank from; get it right!
"Oh, you meant what Martial Arts he does?
Tae-kwon-do and Muay-Thai-do. I prefer the Muay Thai, myself.
"Is he Japanese or something? Nobody outside of Japan and over the age of 6 cares about "indirect kisses"...."
No, just an American Germaphobe. I'm even squicked out by drinking out of my own glass. The fact that I overcame that fear in the name of my... pursuit is quite huge.
^It is a lot more effective, in opinion.
I used to do Capoeira for a short while, ran out of money... A few years later I took up Wing Chun under sifu Mark Philips and kept at that for a good while, but in the end things got awkward for reasons I don't really want to go into. A shame, because I had been enjoying it other than the awkwards.
Aww yeah, I'd love to try that.
^^ Capoeira isn't practical, but it is TOTALLY the most fun thing I've ever done away from a games console. I was totally willing to try doing side-flips even though I couldn't... and fell on my head, and everyone was worried I'd got a concussion, but I was SO into it that I got back up and did it again another 6 times before someone stopped me!
I used to do a mean Meia Lua De Compasso though. It is a total bitch that I was a poor student at the time and once I finished the money I got from my father's death, I couldn't afford it any more.
