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
