Heyhey again. I'm now back to a state where I feel comfortable interacting with normal society after a weekend of drinking and violence, details of which can be found in the previous entry.
And pain.
Ow.
Heh.
I need to sort out my habit of punching shield rims... my right thumb has a split under the nail, I've also once more managed to bruise the nailbed and the surrounding area. This may also be attributed to me trying to grab an axe out of midair >.>
Plus about twenty other bruises in various areas, can't WAIT for when I can have a warm shower and find them all.
Though, on the plus side, I can definitely say that wearing a chainmail shirt during combat is fun 😛 25lbs of steel, a lot more weight to throw around.
But yeah. Was a pretty cool weekend, next one should be as well. Learnt a brand new knife stance. Also chased someone down a beach waving my knife and the one I'd nicked from him in a, um, totally unrelatated circumstance 😛
(As an aside, all the big pointy things we hit each other with on a semiregular basis ARE blunted...)
Oh, and finally - shield rims to the face hurt. I have a fairly nasty thingy under my lip, bled like hell for the first hour and a half, not so bad now.
But yeah. Been pretty cool.
Anyway, that's all for now. Drinking loooooootttss of water at the moment.
Bye.
