Had my second session with the fencing coach yesterday.

Still struggling to keep up, but at least my hand's not killing me now.

Fought 2 bouts, each I held to 14-14 before losing.

I wonder why.

-:-

2 female saberers were asking a guy who had pierced one ear if he was gay.

I told them "left is right and right is wrong". His is on the left. He's not gay.

Then they asked me about people who pierce both ears.

"Girls," I said.

-:-

The conversation then moved on to lesbians.

The girls were surprised at how much I knew.

"How come you know so much about this? You used to like a butch is it?"

I parried the question with my ultimate excuse for obsession with women.

"I'm minoring in gender studies"
