with my foot on your neck I finally have you right where I want you

Today, I took the SAT. Which, whatever. I should, but I can't bring myself to angst about it quite yet. Too many other AP tests and exams to worry about.
But here's the interesting part.

Today, I made a LARP sword. I won't even lie and tell you that I'm not insanely attracted to people that can sword fight, but I never really thought I'd get out there and LARP. Luckily I have my beautiful nerd-bestie Lydia. We made swords, using a picture tutorial from where else but LJ. Its basically PCV pipe, insulation and a shitload of duct and electrical tape. Then we went and beat each other up with swords. I've taken blows to the hips and legs and ribs and I have future callouses on my hands and I feel exquisite.

And, even though we're just fucking around with play swords, I felt strong, and when I was taking hits and blocking them and giving a few too (More of the taking, Lydia has actual experience with swords) I felt sexy. I know, I know I'm weird. But, yeah, just. Its the feeling of having control over your body and maybe a little bit of yeah, I can take a hit, and I can give it back just as good (please, don't be fooled, insulation or not a pole to the ribcage is not fun). I kinda wish I bruised easier, just so I'd have something to show for it.

Either way, hi how are you today?
