I have a sword, because I'm not built for the frontline. I have a different
battlefield. I needed a sword, to feel until when the pen was no longer
needed. I haven't wanted to slay anyone yet. Pen still in hand.

we need a different way of swordfighting now that people have different
relationships to swords and weapons. Medieval skills made sense when everyone
used knives every day. now it's much easier to [redacted] them all through the
rest of november. [sorry, what?] oh sure ttyl

I'd rather fight my foes in a fair fight than butcher them in the night.
just because I suck at fighting doesn't mean I don't understand honor.
I'm unreliable, not dishonorable, there's a difference, and it's not about
reputation.

if you want to fight ice, patrol your neighborhoods where all the mexicans
live.
bring a gun if you're willing to die for liberty.

I exist now at the height of my gluttony.
I need more to be demanded of me.
I am not afraid to ask for help.
I solve other people's problems before my own.
I have very little insight into my habits and patterns.
My memory isn't great, but I recall details that matter.

"you can't be a paladin anymore because you don't practice with your weapon
every day"
I don't have room in my home to practice though : (
"go to the fucking park you weasel"
I don't want anyone to see me swinging a sword around! they might call the
cops, or worse, judge me for it!
"you want judgement eh well just wait until your opponent judges your
swordsmanship lacking then you'll find out what judgement tastes like as he
shoves your entrails down your throat"
I'm sorry I'll practice more T.T

with a sword, consider "stabbing" to be "the fundamentals". If you master
stabbing, you will naturally excel at other arcs.
my sword is evenly weighted instead of balanced at the hip. It is a
short-spear in function, with blade all the way down.

I learned a lot last night, and I'm pretty sure that everything I say is going
to be censored. Why would you allow resistance in such a public place?
I don't know what else to do, though. He will come for me, he knows where I
live, and I will do what I can to fight him.
He's much stronger than me. He's much more massive than me. He will kill me.
But that's not the point, is it?

every moment of pause or relaxation was purely intended in pursuit of the
