competitions

i had to go to a fencing competition on saturday. don't get me wrong. i love to fence. and competitions are usually really fun, especially when a bunch of your friends go and everyone gets there early and you sit around and talk.
but this competition was kind of off. it was an open competition which meant anyone below a certain ranking could go to it, which means it's not just people in your age group. and then a few of my friends didn't show up and one of them was supposed to bring a camera and stuff. and then all my foils and things started failing and i kept getting penalized and loosing points...all in all, i didn't do a great job.
but i still had fun hanging out with one of my really good friends, which was nice, especially since she lives up in san francisco and i don't always get to see her...and i got to meet some other fencers my own age. that's the best bit about competitions besides hanging out with your friends. you get to meet more fencers your own age...
i'm busy watching avatar which is an amazing show...and then it'll be time for dinner.
