Subject: Re: Introduction Author: Ivy to Lucy [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:23:06 11/04/12 Sun In reply to: Lucy 's message, "Re: Introduction" on 10:53:36 10/30/12 Tue Hi Lucy, Sorry I haven't responded in a while. I got spanked for skipping school with Roman, a friend of mine, for an alternative rock concert. :/ It was completely worth it, though. I gather that Northern Ireland is independent from Ireland? Don't worry about it. I normally think protection is stupid and then I fall and break an arm. :P Happened twice already. Anyways, I think I could stand the protection now that I know that you can see out of it. Aren't sabres like swords or something? What can't you do in fencing?

Have you ever got it with a belt before? Sucks doesn't it? At least it was worth it (from your pov at least) Hope things are back to normal now. Ireland became independent about 90 years ago, but Northern Ireland stayed part of the UK, there was fighting between pro Irish and pro British forces until really recently, and there's still a lot of controversy about who it should belong to. I'ver always thought they go in for more protection in America, like for hockey and american football. It makes sense for fencing though and it's not restrictive or anything. Sabre is the third sword you can use, but you use the edge not the point, so the rules are really confusing. I just stay away from it. Lucy [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Really sorry I haven't responded to you in almost a month. I had a bunch of stuff to do before Thanksgiving. They always like to torture us before breaks. But, I guess over in Britain, you don't have a Thanksgiving break. I never got the belt before that time. My sister did a few years ago. It hurts! You get the belt, too? I never knew that. It's kinda like the territories that the U.S. has, except it's much larger. Puerto Rico just petitioned to be the 51st state, even though, in the past, they had a say in who's president, they just didn't have to pay an income tax. They do, but I just hate protection, as a general rule. :/ I tried fencing, kinda. A friend of mine fences, so he kinda showed me how to do things. Well, he showed me after laughing hysterically when I made a complete fool myself when I tried to use the foils like Star Wars characters. Isn't he nice? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

We don't have Thanksgiving break. When exactly is it and how long do you get off? I've only had the belt once too, from my grandpa, not something I ever want to repeat. It sounds like it's a rare event in your family, so it hopefully won't become a regular feature. How old was your sister when she got it? I don't think it's quite the same, I'm not really sure about the details of territories, but I would have thought they were more like British dependencies, like Gibraltar and the Falklands etc. Ireland was actually part of the UK, so it would be like one of the states breaking off. (I think, correct me if I'm wrong) Yeah, I was like that when I started, none of the rules made any sense until I'd been doing it for weeks. Anyway, using it like a lightsabre is officially more fun, so people should just stick to that :P Lucy [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
