Not your sissy sword swinging stuff, prancing around in unitards and masks pretending to be swashbuckling pirates and all that.<BR/><BR/>My fencing involves actual life threatening danger when you stumble nose to nose with a bear or a cougar. My fencing leaves your hands blistered and cut and so exhausted you can't hold a water bottle without shaking water everywhere.<BR/><BR/>Then again, thinking of those girly man hands of yours, you ought to stick with your fencing and leave the real fencing to the big boys and girls.<BR/><BR/>You couldn't handle real fencing. <BR/><BR/>Bwhahahahah.<BR/><BR/>(And enough with the prolific posting already Burns.

There's just something about watching it that makes me feel a wee bit high class.<BR/><BR/>But instead of all that....<BR/><BR/>WTH!!!<BR/><BR/>Can I pretend that you wrote this and gave the big old hearty shout to the God of Rock because I just tossed his name in a tweet to you? Because that would make me all happy and swoony, and, I gotta be honest, I don't think the level of swoon I give you here is on par with some of the swoon you get from others. I sometimes have chats with Neil about this concern I have. In my mind. But here's the rub - no one cares at all, not even the chair! That's what he told me. "You are, you said," he says.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Anyway, here's some swoon. And some babbling. You. Neil. Forever for me. Forever in blue jeans, baby. Turn on your heartlight. All that. :)for a different kind of girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04431273646365489225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-775208920171527729.post-37034579332804749812008-09-10T22:25:00.000-07:002008-09-10T22:25:00.000-07:00I followed you over here from Twitter, thinking th...I followed you over here from Twitter, thinking that you meant you had put up a fence, when you said fencing.<BR/>Yeah, I need to go to sleep. <BR/>But, I am glad that you talked about this kind of fencing...
