evile: 	omfg, ew. Skye. is trying to imply (I think) that she and one of
the 	HFSers have done...something.
Sharjinka: Other than sonar0m???
evile: yup.
evile: today she is on her "every 	woman in the world wants my men, ha
ha!" spiel. I wonder 	what gets her on certain topics/tangents? It
would be an 	interestng psychological study.
Sharjinka: Ewww.....who is she 	implying?? Or is she being subtle
(which in itself is 	shocking).
evile: This must NEVER pass between anybody but you 	and me, OK?
Sharjinka: Okay..... but you're scaring me....
evile: 	Hojo.
Seriously..not a word to ANYONE. I'm sure it would create 	too much
crap if it hit the airwaves.
Sharjinka: Really?? 	Hojo.....
evile: And when I pressed her for details, she laughed 	it off & acted
like she was kidding, so...maybe I wasn't 	supposed to press her.
Sharjinka: Hmmmm....
evile: I don't 	think she has. I don't think he even talks to her.
Sharjinka: He 	DOES have extremely bad taste in women....
Sharjinka: But I don't 	think they've talked. Maybe a long time ago
when he was young and 	stupid?
evile: Maybe. It would have to be a VERY long time ago. 	But he's been
playing HFS forever, maybe even backwhen she was at 	Barad Duin with
whatsisname. Lord British.
Sharjinka: Could 	have been. Ya know....I only remember Lord British
visiting the 	field once. He helped HFS out legally....and wasn't
real 	active.
evile: she was still psycho back then, but at least she 	was prettier.
evile: Hell, I would have done her back 	then.
Sharjinka: Yeah....
Sharjinka: I mean....not me but yes, 	she was prettier.
evile: *laff* I know :)
Sharjinka: I feel 	that way about very few women and I don't think I
ever felt that 	way about her.
evile: Heh. actually, her personality was so 	creepy sineater-stalker, I
wouldn't have...but if there had been 	some way to turn off the
personality, I wouldn't have minded 	taking her off to my lair.
Sharjinka: Did you happen to read the 	basketball post?? What did you
think??
Sharjinka: I could see 	that. I used to dread her talking to me
because she would keep me 	there forever.
evile: *nod* I did. It was cool. I didn't have any 	editing to
suggest, so I didn't say anything.
Sharjinka: It's 	a bit rough. I'm still working on it.
evile: *nod*
Sharjinka: 	I would like to write about the high school confrontation
I had 	when I was seen on the basketball courts. That was 	interesting.
Sharjinka: One of the guys at my high school accused 	me of being a
n****** and prefering their company to the high 	school folks.
evile: good lord.
Sharjinka: I told him I wasn't 	that but I did prefer their company.
The guys on the basketball 	courts didn't like me but they weren't
cruel about it. They 	didn't like my lack of skill.... and there
were racial and gender 	issues but at least, they were up front about
it.
evile: *nod* 	I'd much rather have stuff be out in the open, rather
than people 	who smile to my face and then stab me in the back.
Sharjinka: The 	popular kids used to periodically pretend to be
friends with me 	and then humiliate me later. The guys on the
basketball courts 	NEVER did that.
evile: *nod*
Sharjinka: They could get mean 	and nasty but I knew to expect it. ;-)
evile: exactly.
Sharjinka: 	And when those three guys jumped the white guy....I had no
idea 	that they even cared. They were SO mad and it took a few
seconds 	to register that they were mad that the guy hit me. :-D
evile: 	:)
Sharjinka: Not the kind of guys you pissed off. That's why I 	did the
humor thing! I never wanted them mad at me!
evile: 	*nod*
Sharjinka: I never realized that I was tough at all until I 	got off
the courts. ;-) And even then, it took convincing. Those 	guys were
tough! :-D
Sharjinka: I didn't quite compare.
evile: 	yeah...but on a scale of 1-10, they're probably 10, Most
people 	are probably 2, and you're somewhere in the middle.
Sharjinka: 	That might be the case. When the HFSers started saying I
was 	tough, I only laughed. I was still playing basketball and the
guys 	on the courts wouldn't agree with them! ;-)
evile: *nod*
evile: 	As a somewhat bitter feminist, in my experience I find that a
woman 	has to be twice as competent and twice as tough to be
considered 	half as good.
Sharjinka: Luckily, this isn't difficult. 	;-)
evile: *laugh* true enough :)
Sharjinka: :-D
evile: 	boys are dumb.
Sharjinka: It's funny.... My mentality was just 	strange back then.
I never considered myself because of being 	pushed around in high
school but .....I don't think the high 	school boys could've been on
the courts like that. :-D Too dumb. 	One wrong word and you're
toast. ;-)
evile: yup.
Sharjinka: 	I got snarky very rarely. I had a sharp wit maybe but I
didn't 	use it very much.
Sharjinka: After seven years or so....I could 	be a bit more snarky....
evile: actions speak louder than words, 	anyway.
Sharjinka: I was still careful. I mean....most of the 	guys were
armed.
evile: heh.
Sharjinka: :-D
Sharjinka: I 	tried to carry a knife but when I realized I
couldn't .....do 	that.... I quit carrying it. I just couldn't do
the whole stabby 	thing. :-(
Sharjinka: Humor was my best weapon. ;-)
evile: 	*nod*
evile: I saw a study that said the thing women fear most 	from men is
rape/murder, the thing men fear most from women is 	laughter.
Sharjinka: I pulled it one day and .....I mean....I 	didn't hurt them
but I realized.... I couldn't do it. He had 	threatened me and it
was sort of a pre-emptive strike but.... I 	never took it back to the
courts.
Sharjinka: :-) That's what 	he threatened. He wasn't one of the
regulars....
evile: 	*nod*
Sharjinka: He was so scared.... He may have had an accident 	on the
court but I wasn't sure.
evile: heh!
Sharjinka: 	Scared me but I decided I would never do that again.
evile: *nod* 	at the end of it all, you have to do what you feel is
right for 	your own honor.
Sharjinka: It did mean there was a chance of 	being hurt....but I
couldn't do that to someone else....
evile: 	*nod*
Sharjinka: I had to be backed into a corner to figure out 	that
one. ;-)
evile: sometimes that's what it 	takes.
Sharjinka: Yeah....
evile: You going to be at the park 	this weekend? I might, but it'd be
later.
Sharjinka: I'm going 	to try and make it, yes. Last chance to see
them before 	vacation.
evile: *nod* Plus, I think Skye and sineater will be 	at Skye's family
reunion all weekend.
Sharjinka: BONUS! 	;-)
evile: she might do something crazy in order to be at the 	park
Sunday, anyway, but for now it's looking like they'll be 	gone all
weekend.
Sharjinka: I hope so.
evile: I think 	she's really looking for a reason for drama. Her
brother's kids 	are going to be there.
Sharjinka: What's so dramatic about 	that?
evile: *shrug* they'll be getting more attention than her 	and
her 'children'.
Sharjinka: They are human beings and 	kids.....
evile: So there will just about have to be a scene, to 	make it all
about her again. If I know my UB, and I 	do.
Sharjinka: *sigh* Sad.
evile: it really is. And in her 	bizarre logic form, it will all be
perfectly justified and make 	perfect sense that she behave
outrageously and leave 	early.
Sharjinka: *sigh*
evile: yeah, me too. She's been to 2 	or 3 family reunions now and
managed to have an OK time. Probably 	because the family is trying
rEALLY hard. But something will 	eventually have to crack, just the
way she is.
evile: Oh well. 	feh. topic change. She wastes too much of my energy.
Sharjinka: 	Geez. I'm looking forward to the family reunion I'm going
to. We 	will talk, catch up and I plan to sleep a lot. ;-)
evile: *nod* 	that's as it should be.
Sharjinka: I haven't seen a lot of them 	in a long time. They're not
drama folks but I hope I do 	okay.
evile: *nod* I am sure it will be fine.
Sharjinka: I 	hope so. Some of the kids will be new to me.
evile: *nod* Kids 	are always a nice way to get away from boring
grownup talk. and 	everyone goes "Look how good she is with the
children!"
evile: 	(when really, I just want to play iwth their toys)
Sharjinka: I'm 	the same way! ;-)
evile: it's bad that our family doesn't ahve 	kids anymore. Our
youngest is now 17. (unless you count the Pig 	and her kids, and I
don't.)
Sharjinka: I think we have some 	babies..... I'm not sure.
evile: heh. I guess you'll find out. I 	am not a fan of very small
babies, I like them when they are able 	to walk and talk and stuff
Sharjinka: I'm the same way. I hope I 	don't have to hold them too
long.
evile: *giggles* I can't 	even picture you holding a baby!
Sharjinka: I have but it's 	awkward for me.
evile: *nod* I'm always worried which end is 	going to make a mess
first.
Sharjinka: That's me too.
evile: 	Oh well. My friend D's 5 month old yarfed on me and I didn't
die. 	So ...
Sharjinka: I just get nervous with small children.
evile: 	me too. They're so fragile.
evile: Kulilinei's baby is so cute. He's 	just over a year. I played with
him more htan I talked ot the 	grownups at her party last weekend. I
played with him the way I 	play with my cat, Spaz. He loved it.
Sharjinka: :-D
evile: I 	stand over Spaz and do my fingers like I'm going to grab her
or 	tickle her, and she rolls on her back and makes all these 	squeaky
noises.
Sharjinka: Cute!
evile: So I did that with 	Kai, and he wrinkled up his little nose and
smiled REAL BIG and 	ran up and hugged my leg.
Sharjinka: Children are so strange.... 	and unpredictable. ;-)
evile: I know. They can be awesome, 	though, assuming their parents
are decent.
Sharjinka: 	True.
evile: I know you'll have a great time at the reunion 	:)
evile: take a couple boffer swords, just in case :P
Sharjinka: 	I think I will. I do love everyone. It's just been 	a
while.
Sharjinka: Can't take them on the plane. Darn.
evile: 	really?? OMG< that's crazy!
Sharjinka: I've had to answer 	questions and such on the plane. It
delays and they usually call 	security.
evile: that's really crazy!!
Sharjinka: Yeah. The 	easiest thing to tell them is it's practice
fencing equipment for 	children.
evile: *nod*
Sharjinka: They accept that...
evile: 	yeah.
Sharjinka: :-)
evile: I am taking some little vacation 	here and there, but a whole
week would be so awesome, if my boss 	didn't freak out so easily about
stuff.
Sharjinka: I can 	understand. I'm going to be a bit worried about the
office while 	I'm gone.
evile: It'll be fine :)
evile: it's always still 	standing when you get back from digs & such.
this will be 	fine too.
Sharjinka: Yeah, true and it's always slow during the 	summer. :-)
evile: exactly. Same here, really.
Sharjinka: 	:-)
Sharjinka: Nearly got my uncle's belt done too. Needs a sheen 	and
belt holes punched in it.
evile: cool :) It's nice to get 	projects completed.
Sharjinka: True. :-)
evile: I should try 	that sometime. I have a giant box full of UFOs
Sharjinka: 	:-D
Sharjinka: I usually pick easy to do projects. Nothing 	complicated.
evile: *nod*
Sharjinka: I still have to do some 	work on it. I must punch the
holes and re-do some of the dye. It 	has to be sheened tomorrow or it
won't be ready in time!
evile: 	you'll get it done.
Sharjinka: I think I can have it 	finished. It won't take long at
all. Punching holes and dying it 	will take about a half hour. Then
I just have to wait and play 	with to make the leather softer.... :-D
evile: *nod*
Sharjinka: 	:-D
