karate

[deralte]

Karate today was a lot of fun. We did a large variety of techniques, and most importantly, no kata *L* Also some fun games at the beginning, though I sort of resent being caught in the "nobody is warming up properly" backlash that keeps happening, where you get forced to run quick laps and other athletic things on top of a warm up of your own that already has you sweating... My partner today had very pretty blue eyes, and was named Damien. He was shy and reserved. I'm not sure if you're allowed to have a name like Damien and be shy and reserved...

Two of my fingers have been crushed and are completely numb, so am icing them as I'd like to regain feeling. I also have to ice my elbow. We did this sideways throw that I really liked, but it ended with your oponent falling on top of your arm, which is fine so long as your arm is flat against the groud, but with my joints being so flexible, my arm automatically turns another quarter or so when in that position, so for the first couple of times, my elbow got crushed at a very bad angle until I concentrated on conciously keeping my arm from twisting. My period started today without warning, which is kinda funny since I was at the store earlier and bought chocolate with the thought that my period would start soon (it likes to migrate, but there's usually at least three weeks in between). I should have known it would since I'm always in a strange mood the day before my period does start - either ridiculously happy, or depressed without knowing why. Yesterday, it was just enough to damper what has been my very good work ethic for the past few days and send me off reading fic. Will see if chocolate will help me work.

I really need to make a martial arts icon, don't I? Of course, I really don't have time. *puppy dog eyes at lucyjin*;)
