I am finally in armor! And I fought (possibly a nice term for my flailing around?) at the Mountain Edge practice tonight. My first time in armor since I was 18 and without a car when I made it to 4 practices or so - so that small foray basically doesn't count for anything. But I hit stuff, people even! Go me! I suck sooooo much, but it was Amazing! SO much fun! My shield arm is a limp noodle. Typing is difficult. My muscles, they need to grow quickly! And I really need to get my heater and sword done. I had to borrow a sword and was using the craptastic (well actually quit nice) strap-on round - yuck! I hesitate to guess at the size bruise that will be on my leg. And as soon as my shield is usable I will decorate it with my Big Purple Chicken Head! Woot! Chicken Doom! I can;t decide if I want to eat a bunch, sleep, or do a happy dance... so I will sit here and surf the web and bounce.
