Lesson of the Day: Wear shoes while fencing.

[Captain Grace OMalley]

Sooo, last night I though, wouldn't it be a great idea to do some fencing barefoot. So we got into the third tournament of the night and my opponent is wearing shoes while I am not. He ends up slamming down on my foot and jamming my toes. I was about to get back up and finish the match with a sore foot when I realized, one of my are bent the wrong way. I swore a few times and yelled that it was broken and they ran over to check it out. They ended up carrying me off the field and getting me home for my dad to take me to the E.R. It turned out my toe is dilocated. It really hurts right now, and I can't be back on the field for more fencing for about a week. It really sucks.

... Reminds me of the time I got my middle finger stuck in a emergency door... You know, those that close automatically X_x!!! And it was at the wrong side, so I couldn't reach the handle D:! Had to scream for someone to help me >_<  

[Captain Grace OMalley]

oh my gosh, I've gotta hear this story.  

[Fuzia]

nothing much to say o_O I was rollerblading in the lunch break, when I went to 2nd or 3rd grade... And because I kindda sucked back then, I had to use the wall to hold myself up, and then I got my finger stuck in the door, When I got it out it was completely mashed, I don't think it would taken much more than a scissor to cut it completely off o_o!  

[Captain Grace OMalley]

ouch.... you guys are lucky though, we weren't really supposed to be rollerblading or skateboarding on school ground in elementary school. But still, ouch.

1) I had no idea you did fencing.
2) Why the heck did you think fencing without shoes on was a good idea?  

[[Vertically.Challenged]]

fencing is awesome. :] but not barefoot I take it? Oo that would suck.

Fuzia: OUCH! >.< that would hurt.

I remember cracking my tail bone when I thought it was a great idea to walk up a metal ramp in wet flip flops. XD. me and my mom were having a water fight and we needed towels...so I went to go ask my dad for some and we have a tornado door that leads to the basement and I tried to climb up it to knock on the window of the room my dad was in....and yeah...the next thing my mom hears is "*@(^$#)%!)*(%)$)&!%*)@~!~+_($^!"

yeah. it hurt. XP.

a couple of months ago i was bringing stuff up into the attic in my house for my parents. i was in a rush, and instead of pulling the cord down when i was looking i was getting a bag of clothes. when i was getting back up to go into the attic, the corner of the fall down door hit the bridge of my nose. i let out aq long line of cures words and my mom came running. i thought i broke my nose becasue when i pulled my hand away from my nose it was covered in blood. but, by the luck of the irish, i only had a gash on my nose. i would have needed stiches but i decided to put it off. so, now i have claimed the new nick name of "Harry Potter" because of the fact that i wear glasses and i have a scar on my head.

Well, the swords are made out of bamboo poles covered in the foam water noodles (it's more fun if you strike hard and not break bones), so I knew the swords weren't going to hurt my feet. Also, my shoes don't grip the grass well so I usually slip and painfully perform the splits several times within a match (not flexible). So I figured barefoot would be fine until I could afford better shoes. I uhh guess not....

Ya, now I have to wait till next week to rematch the guy, I was a little dissapointed I didn't get to finish that match.

I love it that most people are choosing the third option on the poll xd  

[Fuzia]

Haha, yeah xd ... I took the 2nd one though... I think they're really creepy, and has this weird smell... eek

But ya know, if it was me I'd gone crazy and beat the guy/girl with the stick xd  

[Captain Grace OMalley]

Nahh, I'm not mad at him or anything, accidents do happen. I'll just be smart enough to wear shoes next time.
