He he. I know, but a lot of people call it lame. Mostly people who haven't actually tried it, but still. I feel like I have to preemptively defend it. :)

As for worrying about getting hurt, most of the time no one even gets a bad bruise. There are strict rules on weapon construction, and where to hit, so that it's not that bad. :)

lol. :) You'll love it if you try it. Almost everyone does. There is probably a group wherever you are, if you're in the U.S. Or even a lot of places in Canada. Not sure about the U.K. though, but I think there are a few groups there, and in other parts of Europe.

Oh honey, that's where it started. lol. You might be tripping over the groups out there. There's even another game out there in the Delmarva area called Darkon. They have the same good type of fighting, but with a half decent class and magic system added. It's more like Larp, but I have respect for it completely.

The sport started out in Maryland I think... maybe Virginia, but there are tons of groups out on the East coast. I'm in Colorado, and I have only a few groups out here.

Anyways I'm off to fight. :) I'll be back later. Have an awesome day my friend.

I did. lol. Now I'm sore, a little bruised and I have a few blisters. XD But I'll be fine in a bit.

Me too. They hurt whenever anything touches them. XD

So I was told by a medium today that someone is using the occult against me...

They always do. lol. But the spell she said to use is a simple one, so I imagine that the person casting against me isn't very powerful. I plan to pray about it. It's not the first time someone has done this, and others were far more menacing than this one. :) My God can handle it, and protects me quite well.

Someone using the occult around you can generally be turned around by your awareness. If you aren't aware of what is going on then you're more vulnerable. However if you're constantly doing basic protection out of paranoia, and have a better idea of who or what is attacking you, it can be as simple as imagining yourself surrounded on all sides by mirrors and their attack... either disappearing into the sunlight or hitting them back, depending on your temprament, karma, etc.

Our minds are more powerful than we give them credit for. Both individually, and in the collective consciousness. I think about things like this alot.

Which is also why the whole 'gender stereotyping' thing to me is so silly. I'm a very spiritual person with a damn near unquenchable thirst for knowledge.

Indeed Crow. Thing is that I'm nearly immune to things like this one is using. I think I know who it is actually, and it's pissing off a lot of spirits that ought not be pissed off. lol.

On the most deep and basic foundational levels we are truly too similar for gender to matter, but people use it like race, religion, or any other thing they can in order to separate us out into groups. I don't understand how anyone doesn't see that as a race humanity is one.

We have the same drives and needs. We all thirst, hunger, feel pleasure and pain, we all want to be loved and accepted, so what is it that makes people try to keep themselves and others separate?

I can't exactly afford to get my mother anything, so I'm just hanging out with her. :)

Oh. That's so sad. :( I'm sorry to hear that.

Ugh. I'm so tired of cancer. Why haven't we cured it yet? With the amount of money put toward it we could have built a colony on mars the size of Germany.

Honestly I've often thought that might be the case. More money in treating it than in curing it. Though even if money were taken out of it it could be used to control people you know? Being able to claim things cause cancer is kinda a powerful tool for those with little moral compass.
