Bullet list-

[soldiergrrrl]

• Work.  It's driving me nuts.  However, I did totally redo my layout for a 20 page magazine in 10 hours yesterday.  I also think it looks pretty damn good.
• Life.  I love mine.
• Fighting.  I'm skeered and am punking out of fighting. 
• Sewing.  I have something that I've been working on for a week now.  Should get that finished real soon now.
• Con.  We're going to FenCon, and I'm almost done with John's "Core World Dandy" outfit.  :-)  It looks damn good if I do say so myself.
• Also, went to a Cowboys game on Sunday.  O.  M.  G.  How fun!  I'm hooked.

Fighting. I'm skeered and am punking out of fighting

Be an archer.

Or better yet, get some big pieces of lumber (oak and the like) and build yourself an Onager while John is back in the sand box. Surprise him with it when he comes home.

What Combat engineer wouldn't like some ancient siege artillery in his driveway?

[soldiergrrrl.livejournal.com]

I don't want to be an archer. I want to stop being a wimp.

And I'm so not building something that will make the HOA freak out. :-)

Armoured vehicles, cannons, catapults...they tend to get a response, but most people's self protective instincts over-ride their busy body natures.

Would YOU complain about a guy who had a cannon on a garrison carriage in his front drive way?

I've not had a single 'complaint' about my armoured cars. ;-)

Wow. Now that is what I call impressive.

You don't have to build; you can just buy:

Of outfit.

As soon as I get him in it, you'll get them.

You're quiting fighting?

Nooooo....

[soldiergrrrl.livejournal.com]

Oh, no, not quitting, just punking out on fights. My teacher is NOT amused and I really wish he'd just kick my ass. But I'm also scared to tell him that.

I'm a total WIMP most of the time.

[miss-manners.livejournal.com]

Who is running your fighter practices. I'll pass it on ;)

[soldiergrrrl.livejournal.com]

LOL! I'm not sure exactly who runs them honestly, but...I just need to find my ovaries and suck it up. I know I can take hits, it's looking like a moron that bothers me. Or at least, looking like a moron for long periods of time. ;-)

Yay Fencon!

[soldiergrrrl.livejournal.com]

Yep. John would like to hit up a game of Firefly if you're running one!

[selenite.livejournal.com]

Um. I actually burnt myself out a bit last year and was planning on skipping gaming this year so I could see the rest of the con. But my arm could be twisted. Do you have any other DFW trips planned?

In any case I'm looking forward to meeting John!

[dracphelan.livejournal.com]

Well, Bad cat is spending Saturday at FenCon. I've decided not to. I just can't bring myself to spend the money just to look at the vendors room and maybe get in some gaming.
I'm hoping we might be able to get together with you and John for lunch or dinner.

Melees tend to hide the flaws that stick out like a hairy mole in HDTV. Try doing them instead of one-on-one. I like them better - I don't think as hard, and have more fun. You need one-on-one to get better technically, but you need to remember that since you aren't being paid for this, you need to have fun.

[perilousknits.livejournal.com]

Hey, that 10 hour magazine thing sounds familiar. Didn't I meet you last night at Fighter Practice in Bryn Gwlad?

--Gia, owner of Singer Featherweight.

[soldiergrrrl.livejournal.com]

Yes, you did! Hi! How are you?

[perilousknits.livejournal.com]

I'm great! And yourself?

I'm adding you to my friends list.

[soldiergrrrl.livejournal.com]

I'm better today than I was last night. :-) Adding you back, as well. :-D

[exvapi.livejournal.com]

Spreaking of John, how did the eyes turn out?

[armagh444.livejournal.com]

Well, the Cowboys are the only game in town thereabouts, so I suppose I will have to let you off easy on that one. ;-)

[soldiergrrrl.livejournal.com]

Hah! They're the only game, period.

:-D
