kickboxing, life

[deralte]

At kickboxing last night, I was told I was going to "Level UP!" (yes, the exclamation mark and caps are needed) which never failed to set me giggling since I can't really think of a sillier way to announce that my training was ready to advance to the next level. There are days when it's really fun that they don't speak much English:) Anyway, it involved being taught... a different rythm to my punches, is the best way to describe it and I learned hand bandages! *L* I have no idea what they're actually called, but they're the cloth wraps you wrap around your hand and wrist in order to keep it secure while punching. My self-appointed trainer made me a gift of some of his of course (*sigh*) and they're black and long and take me around 10-15 minutes to put on atm. (I also kinda feel like I'm an extra on Naruto...) On the plus side, they do stop my thumb from getting injured while using these kinda open fingered gloves that I usually avoid for that same reason. It was good training, and the euphoria from it probably explains why I asked shirtless guy out to dinner afterwards... or not *L* We headed off to Mos Burger and had a good time chatting until well after midnight. I don't actually think anything will come of it, but it was a nice to talk. (Learnt some interesting things on fighting philosophy in Japan and a new curse word *g*).

Today is devoted to writing my book, sending off requests for recommendation letters (we hates it, yes), resplenishing my dwindling supplies of food and reading fanfic. I have no idea why, but I'm reading Harry Potter fanfic atm. All AU's of course. I don't have enough love left for canon to put up with things that are too close to the books, or at least, the last two books.
