Yet Another Strange Event
I had just come back from doing some schoolwork and sat down reading an article online, just letting myself take it easy for a few minutes. As I finished the article, I heart voices talking. I strained my ears, but the voices didn't get any clearer, I couldn't make out what they were saying. I slipped into my sandals and picked up my katana, heading outside to see if something was going on. I checked all around my house, but saw nothing, all I could hear were the spring birds chirping away. But I heard voices... very distinctly voices. I walked back in and sat down in the exact same spot, and I heard nothing. Not a thing was moving aside from the birds when I was outside. What was I hearing? The voice of spirits, the voice of the wind, or the voice of the birds? A car went by as I was writing this, and I thought to myself: "I can tell by the sound of that car, that there's no way I was hearing voices from actual people outside, the only way that's possible is if they were crouched just below my window... in my neighbor's fenced-in yard. The voices definately weren't "in my head", although I never deny the idea that I might simply be crazy. I don't think I am, though, I think they really meant something. Maybe in time things like that will be clearer to me, they are certainly clearer now than they were when I was younger.

Crazy Two Days
Eh, things weren't so good the last two days, there's a LOT going on! I'm in charge now on Friday nights and I don't really like being in charge, haha. In addition to that we had to stay over to do lots of things. Today wasn't as bad, we didn't have to stay over as long and we only had some things to do later. So my coworker and I went to the gym to spar in the meantime. My coworker has had only limited training, so he kind of sucks at fighting, but I played around and had a bit of fun. Then when we grappled I really started to have fun, he doesn't look that strong and he's not THAT big, but he was able to pick me up like I was nothing! It surprised me so much the first time he did it that I was only able to get back down and get him into a submission by planting my feet against the wall, hahahaha. It was glorious fun, though, I LOVE being surprised. I'm going to spar with him fairly often to help him improve his overall fighting, and grapple with him for fun! He's better than your average fighter by a good bit, and his strength helps to make up for some more of the skill gap, so I can actually have a ton of fun grappling with him. I was also amazed that I can still control myself very well in midair, I guess I've lost a lot of weight, I don't think I would have had much control a few months ago!

First Post
Eh, been a long time since I kept a journal, that's kind of what I'm using this for. Um, I had three hours of kendo last night, then I worked all night, then I played an hour and a half of racket ball. Obviously my old energy is coming back lately, feels pretty good. On the other hand, I seem to be sleeping quite a bit lately, I think it's my anemia. Ever since I got sprayed with M.A.C.E. during training a few weeks ago, my nose has been bleeding again. It's not as bad as it was before, though, so the effects are WAY less. Anyway, the past couple of days have been nice, a good way to wind down as my spring break starts to come to a close.
