  1. Alright ... i'll get over myself, but it is pretty funny!
  2. This is wrong!!! I think that they mixed it up because last time i checked i am not ...well 'supergirl.' i'm not laughing but my bro is! Grrr... I think this is a good excuse to be a masacist and practice speed breaks. (You hit the board karate chop style, while holding it in your other hand!) I will go in a corner and cry after i run out of boards!
  3. My best guess is FIRE ? maybe?
  4. Just don't move it! The hot shower always works for me too! But sleeping/sparing w/ a neck like that is a pain! Just say "no," I prolonged my last neck sprain by doing sparring! Get well, don't move, and lots of HOT showers! Arisu
  5. Sensei says: "Guys can do sidesplits too!" Student: "Really sensei? You first!" (This is the part where the student gets hit for being a smarty pants)
  6. Lol :Lol: If i had a six pack that would work just as well as the super "hai karate" after shave! Lol jk! Arisu
  7. I got a GI(martial arts uniform),Candy (i luv dark chocolate!), a couple of sweaters , and some more random odds and ends. Sometimes i wish we wouldn't feel obligated to give gifts, it's a lot of work! I am not a shop-a-holic. It's funny to see some of the parents/Big kids get to a toy store super early just for something to play with (i.e. the wii or elmo) ! Thats amusing to watch but dreadful when your in the midst of the action. I miss the simpler days. I would be content with just a bar of dark chocolate and the one i love! Is that weird? Now i sound emo/female! Lol, Arisu
  8. In Class my Sensei honored me with a pair of exquisite hakama accompanied with a katana. Is this a normal custom? What does it mean?
  9. I have a cubi, but it is old. It was passed down to me too! but i find it ridiculously hard to carry it with me everywhere! I know how to use it but i wish/hope i never have too. I would get it, as a SDT, but i am bias. Arisu
  10. In my training, i am expected to broaden the weapons that i know how to use. The next weapon is sais. Unfortunately i don't know how much they cost, normally/brands . I would look online, but you guys are the real experts. Plus i am looking for a pair that will last a long time. Arisu
  11. Anything with greese, or in general if i over eat before sparring. It always has a way of coming up. Can't keep food down. Arisu
  12. ahh... when you run into martial arts buddy's and it turns into a sparring match, everytime! Arisu
  13. Got lost at first, thought about it. Lol.
  14. I must fail at life: 80%. The NInja kept sabotaging me! The eye thing was weird. Arisu
  15. Hmm, i was not paying attention and 2 of my buds pounced on me at one! It was bad.We were supposed to be sparring, but they didn't get the message. So The three of us ended up in a three way tie! My Sensei had to come over and "Kick us apart. " The skinniest of us, had happened to have ripped his pants in the process. While the other suffered a groin shot. I don't know if i did it or not, but the sensei's reaction was classic. Pushups: 500. It's not the funniest story, but it is funny.
  16. I hope for the holiday that i get to be happy. Not alone or with all the family drama. But a pair of Sais would be nice, but i don't think anyone really wants to put another type of weapon in my hands. Arisu
  17. I am in pursuit of a medical career: Cardio-therasic surgeon. It is hard, long hours, good pay, lots of dicipline. But my 'Sensei' has other plans. He wants me to teach more. It's hard because i want to teach, but i don't want it to conflict with med. school. I seem to be adjusting to sleep deprivation beautifully though! Arisu
  18. Guam was nice, but TOO humid!
  19. I have never left the country. But i think Hawaii was nice. I went in the middle of summer. When i came home i had to wear layers. It was 75 degrees. That was too cold. So i looked silly that summer wearing jackets and drinking coffee.Lol. If i could go anywhere it would be the UK or Japan, maybe china( i have a lot of friends there.)
  20. Weird Al? Is he a stand up comedian?
  21. hmm... I have Tokyo Drift Wall paper. Pretty Macho. I like power and speed.
  22. I just finished 'The Things They Carried' by Tim O'Brian.
