tales of d'arktagnan


okay,

it's 2:00 am again...seems to be mysg time!

i hurt...all over. EPEE! is kicking my old ass. calling on 30+ year old, nonexistent muscle memory of foil fencing to defend my self with is gettin' my clock cleaned.

but it's so much fun! no, im not a masochist. but i've been bitten by the swashbuckling bug. foil, many moons ago, was fun and finesse. epee is the real deal hollyfield. like a duel to first blood. (well, first five touches, wins first blood)

i wish i had pictures but alas all i have are the bruises to show for my efforts. and these sore ass muscles. beats sitting around moping. plus, and this is a secret... i get to pretend each opponent is the guy what stole me woman! ain't that great! now if i could just beat one of 'em. lol

yours

(my new moniker)

truely,

d'arktagnan



yeah, yeah i know it's a pirate,
they swashbuckle too!
