so yeah, yesterday i got in my Markland/SCA armor and proceaded to dance while people walking by were coaxed into shooting me with Markland arrows.
it was called Lion's Fest, a way for clubs to become known. and since OGL is split up into 3 groups (those that show up for fighting, those that show up for meetings, those that show up when they want) of course i was the only heavy who was there for most of the time.
the glorious form of the "duck hunt" *eye twitch*
the aftermath of danceing for 3 hours was nerve wracking. also because afterwards i had to quickly shower and eat within 30 before the OGL meeting, and worry about getting a letter from the Dean so i could excede the 18 credit limit. and get to my class at 4:30.
luckily the imidiate pain has finally subsited, my headach, but the lasting pain has begun. remember the first Mystic Realms ® event you went too? how much fun you were having so you gave it your all, runing here and there, not thinking how much it would hurt the next week. well Markland is the same way, though on top of the soreness you have the physical pain of being beaten (because when other heavies did show up, it was a break from dancing and we fought while being pelted with arrows). so about 60 min of (near continious) fighting and like 90 min of dancing. i can't twist my sword arm a certin way anymore, and my legs are killing my as much as a weekend of Mystic Realms ®.
and to top it off i have fighting practice tonight.....joy....
yeah i just wanted to rant.... my slightly annoying lent thing has made me bored here at college, and its either look at random websites, watch horrible shows on tv, or read. i've been doing the latter mostly, but these boards haven't had too much activity so i decided to share my physical pain.
if you want either comment on me being a woman complaing about it, or if you want, talk about other pain you've felt (physical, emotional, mental) why not let this place be the one place that you can express your thoughts and not be judede by others, but comforted (if this takes off, i'll add more of my own stories).
