Oh, something I somehow totally forgot. Today I checked out a book called Self Defense For Women or something like that. Yes, I am actually going to TRY and teach myself basic self defense, because no matter how much I'd like it to be other wise, a knee to the groin is NOT always possible/the best solution. With all my paraonias lately and other things going on, I thought it would be a good thing. Even if I don't ever need it (knock on wood), it'll be good for my mental/physical well being. Or something corny like that.

Dude take Tae Kwon Do! Fer sure, yo. I took it up to...blue belt I think. Wait, which is higher: blue or purple? I got whichever is higher. I only stopped 'cause I got kinda tired of it. Tae Kwon Do is better than Karate (in my opinion) and focuses more on defense than offense. If you have the determination (which I think you do) than that's the ticket ; )

*nod*My guy friend, Ben, who did the speech on self defense that gave me the idea for this (and who has offered to help me practice), takes tai chi (least I think that's what he takes).I think I'll just stick with this, though. Group setting things are deadly for me, I get too self consious (bad memories of P.E. class in middle school, yick)
