to higher levels

[azurelunatic]

We've found a new level to connect on. Darkside and I are now comparing notes on martial arts techniques and exercises. We may end up setting aside some of our precious mornings in order to spar somewhere. I suggested a few things that might help -- he is having a bit of difficulty balancing sometimes, and is far easier to knock over than he might be.

The people in the computer lab that we were sparring outside of, the guy who made a comment about "heat between the students" the other morning when discussing lab temperature, raised the blinds in order to watch the sparring that was going on. We were having lots of fun out there. Darkside found my center of gravity, shoved. I flew back a few feet.

(Before we went outside to spar, I came within a handspan of grabbing his ass in a blocking move... only realized after I'd removed my hand that I'd been grabbing too personally...)

I love this. I love every bit of this. I love the way he makes me smile. I love the way our energies flow together without needing to constantly recalibrate to fit into each other.

Darkside, if you're reading this, I'm sorry for being obnoxious. I know I do tend to be. Just tell me when I am, right then, and I'll shut it down. [and please, smile after you say it, or I may shut down......] I'm glad you expect me to be there, now... when you go to class...

I am honored to be a part of your life.

Your words made me curious

I've seen you posts in my friend the lost girl's journal. So ummmm.. I feel almost like I'm intruding reading your thoughts like this but this is live journal and that's what it's for. Your relathionship with darkside sounds wonderful. Never felt safe enough to come unglued with anyone almost with my lost friend but not quite. Don't have the ability to let go enough. I hold on to composure wth a tiger grip of death. It's funny that you said that because it was just the other day I thought I needed to let it all go and weep uncontrollably for several hours.
So what style do you do? I do several different styles of kung fu. My teacher breakes it down into practical application and shows stdents different specialties depending on their strengths an weaknsses. Actualy, I think he'll teach you what you want to learn because ther are two people learning mantis style right now who are physically unsuited to it. At tis point I'm trying to get the basics down like in takedowns I'm tying to learn the prnciples of disrupting someone's center as opposed to just doing techniques.
One more thing... who was that last comment about boderline personality disorder directed to? I felt like it could as easily been directed to me as Pepper and I was unclear on that. But then I thought "why would anyone go read my journal and post somethn about it in somone else's?" Then I thought, "wy would anyone read my journal?"
Oh the cat thing. Giving him bath wil just piss him off. You need to catch him in the act an do something he despises like spray him with water that he won't associate with you. It has to be something unpleasant that he'll cnnect to is action and it has to be as he's in the act. Like I said, don't make it sometig he'll associate with you because then he'll run when he sees you and keep doing what he's doing. Soooo ya. Whatever. Pet tips from the expert. I gues I'll see you around.
