My internet sucks. *whine*

'nyway... I was sitting on the couch this morning, reading a book, and my mother comes up, grabs my arm, and puts it next to hers. I'm this close to falling off the couch and so I take my arm back and ask what she wants...

Me: what was that for???
Mom: see how pale you are? You're very pale.
Me: ...yeah, I know. I don't burn, and I usually don't tan, either.
Mom: you're a freak, then?
Me: *trying to ignore her* Seems that way. The sun's rays never touch me.
Mom: want to know your father and mine's secret to tanning?
Me: if it involves mowing the lawn, I don't want to hear it.
Mom: sunless tanning lotion! I could give you some and we could add a bit of colour to you!
Me: *points out (very slight) farmer's tan* See this wrist? *holds out left wrist* I've been wearing my Zim!Band all summer, and you can see the difference in skin tone. I tanned a little. *hold out right wrist* And that's where my watch has been! See? You can see it!
Mom: it's not enough! You're too pale!
Me: *grumble* If I'm going to tan, I want to do it the old fashioned way. Cancer and all.
Mom: oh, no you don't, young lady! *goes into the "my side of the family has always been very susceptible to skin cancer, blah blah blah" spiel*
Me: ah, then I guess I'll just have to stay pale. Thanks for making up my mind for me, Mom. *goes back to reading*
Mom: ... *walks away*

In other news, I have lots and lots of bruises from fencing the other night. I found three in places I won't mention while I was showering (for the second time) this morning. I don't really remember how they got there, but I'm sure Kimmy caused at least one. The other two were probably Rick's fault... Or maybe Kerry's. I'm not sure. *shrug* Whatever. They'll go away. ^_^

The ones on my left arm are going away, too, which makes me happy. That means I did the saber parry almost right, so that they wouldn't bruise too hard. A little bit more, and I'll have it down! *whoot!* No more arm bruisings for me! ^_^

i was so disgusted when i looked down at my arm and saw that it was darker than it normally does. Actually, I screamed. i was like "I CAN FEEL THE CANCER GROWING ON ME!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!"

my face is like, scary darker than the rest of me. And my torso is like, translucent.

*heart heart heart* I was going to ask if you did foil, saber, or epee ... but you seem to have answered it there at the bottom ^____^ *loves playing saber* I took foil at uni, and it was always a nice treat to get to play saber when the teacher felt uber nice. Whack people over the head as a legal move was sweet. But my fav was always in foil, aiming for a guy's 5. Easiest way to get a newbie to back off and screw up his guards. 0:)

I love playing foil. ^_^ I've tried my hand at both saber and epee, and, while they all have their perks, I'm a sucker for the foil! (I guess it's an added bonus that I'm pretty good at foil and kinda' sucky at the other two! ^_~)
