1. It gives people the excuse not to do anything nice for their partners for the whole year. 2. It turns romance into duty. 3. It promotes cheesy cliche romance with zero thought or effort put into the outcome. 4. The people that do buy into it make single people feel crappy whenever they can. 5. It's chosen colour is PINK. C'mon people, pink? Ugh. 6. It aims to make people think that if their partners don't do something on this particular arbitrary day it means that they don't love them. 7. Millions of roses are cut down in their prime to make some soppy bird go 'squee' for all of thirty seconds until she gets her slightly more expensive present(s), only to die five days later. 8. Similar with trees for cards. 9. It means that I cannot go to the cinema to see Hot Fuzz on its opening night because the back seats will be filled with disgustingly noisy teens snogging and feeling each other up. 10. You cannot get a table in a decent restaurant for two weeks before or after the day itself for love nor money.
and others. You got more? Please, add them. Devon, I'm with you.
Okay, I want to tell you guys how extremely pissed off I am.
My thread in the Muggle World about karate is completely gone. Yeah yeah, whoever deleted itself thinks themselves very clever, and apparently finds it funny. I guess it doesn’t matter, I mean, the first post didn’t take me forever to get all the scheduling down correctly and put down all my events and make sure that everything was spelled right. No, it was easy as pie. And you guys didn’t care about that anyways, don’t know why I bothered.
What pisses me off is that I had some other things in there. Some musings, and guess what, my rantings in there were important as well. Not only that, but Protégé and I had a list going that I had every intention of continuing.
Oh, not only that either…but I use that to talk about my tournaments and inform where they are and when they are because I thought that maybe you guys would like to actually care about that and maybe show some support and things of that matter. But, whatever.
Forget this.
I have a Tourney tomorrow in Indiana, wanted to tell you all about that and my predictions and some information. You don’t care, not going to bother.
Whoever did this: You suck.
Sincerely, Devon

Tournament: Indiana Kata: No place Kobudo: No place Kumite: 1st place ^^
Meh, Tourney, so tired, so ADD....
3.5 hour car trip there. My dad: 'Oh, we will get there in time, don't worry!'...heh, not! My check in time is 11:15 AM...we got there at 11:15, I literally had to run and change and rush to my ring for...
Kata: Meh, some of the cruddiest katas I have ever done. Ever. My legs aren't warmed up or anything, but being my moronic self I decided to do Gojushihodai anyways...which has some pretty damn hard stances in it. I stumbled twice in the kata completely, and my stances were so bad a 4 year old could have beaten me. So I just said meh, and switched my katas for round two to Kankudai. That worked 'so well', got knocked out right away.
Kobudo: Another meh...not much to say here...I did a good kata, good scores, everyone else was just much better. If you want a real opinion here, ask Teagan XP, I can't tell you much other than: Meh
Kumite: This went fairly well. Got a By the first round because there were 7 in my division, so odd number for all of you out there who are not quite geniuses. The person who gets the By basically 'wins' their first fight, meaning they never fight at all and just progress forwards. -Big- Help because then you get to watch all the others in your divison fight...first fight was the best. Me, who has never thrown a kick in a real fight in her life, scored on three back leg roundhouses and one absolutely beautiful head roundhouse kick, winning 6-1 in the fight (3-.5 really). Then the second fight...oho...
-.-
That was a complete joy. Refs weren't scoring a single head shot, which is not completely odd, it tends to happen sometimes. But they werent even scoring chest shots, it all had to be body so I was getting a tad bit ticked off about this. That wasn't the bad thing though, what was bad was the girl kneed me in the solar plexis and had me doubled over....for those of you who have never even been normally hit there...it sucks. A lot. A lot a lot. And this wasn't a punch it was a knee....Meh, I beat her anyways though 3-2 so it doesn't matter I guess, but that hurt like hell.
And sometime I must have kicked her elbow because I have a bruise there and that shin is just murder...both of my shins are just murder which is odd because this tournament wasn't all that hard, it actually moved really quickly because it's nothing like the AAU tournaments. Maybe my legs are just in rebellion...hmmm...
As for the car ride home...shoot. me. now.
I discovered that I get very ADD when I have nobody to talk to and nothing to do for 3.5 hours other then trying to get cars to honk at you and there is old rock music playing in the background. My thoughts went something like this: I want to get home to post...man that fight went well...I want to call Rezna...hmmm, I wonder if anyone posted...hey, it's 7:00...my legs hurt...I'm hungry...Wow, I still really want to call Rezna. Maybe Aidana too...won't call Anil, ignoring Anil...this is taking too long...Oooo 7:01!
Of course the character names were replaced with RL names for those of you too stupid to figure that out >< And I am not even joking...I was sooooooooo ADD...for 3.5 hours.
....
I'm going to go and pass out now...I have to train tomorrow morning.
Toodles.

Devon stepped off the mat in kata, but it wasn't that bad.
I think she got a 77 in kobudo. It was pretty good compared to half of the scores people got. The bald-ish guy with the sais was really cool--well, the thought of it was.
In kumite, that girl felt so bad... She was terrified, and Devon came and whooped her arse. (In case one has yet to notice, it is not good to anger the Devon)
