I went to a meeting today for the cooks. I was one of two cooks that actually showed up. At least I got a free cookie out of it (and a damn good cookie I might add.) I found out that one of the other cooks, on that I liked and thought worked well together, that he ended up getting very very frustrated with me that one day. ._. I didn't think it was about me...I thought it was about the work load, not about me. ._. I thought he was nice. no wonder one of the managers was all like "tell Aaron he's an asshole. right now. he's right here. go." "no no! I couldn't ever do that!" "no. go ahead. tell him he's an asshole." I thought he was joking even though he seemed a little more serious than usual. ._. They're going to split up our shifts now. I won't get to work with him again. ._. I wanted to. I thought he was nice. I thought it was just a frustrating day...
On a more positive note, Dan showed me some palm strikes...or more like "er...can strike up?" "*does a couple*" "> >;; um....how about middle, like chest height" "*does so*" "*blinks* wow....you did them right." "*nervous laughs* It's all instinctual. really."
It is. It makes me feel sort of confident. Because it really is all instinctual o__o;; A brand new style, like...30 years old, and I have completely ingrained. I was also rather surprized to note that Dan's sensei is scared to meet me now O_O;; Mostly because of hearing of my rapid success he thinks I have talent...not to mention I'm studying a style that is completely counter to his own. O_O; I couldn't beat a sensei...could I? I mean...I've had 2 lessons at it....both lasting less than 30 minutes. The last one was a lot less...like...5 minutes?
Either way I want to practice it more. It really is fun. My only worry is actually hurting someone x_x; I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if I hurt Dan, even accidentally. I'd like to meet his sensei though =D Also it'd probably boost Dan up to have such a good student to show his sensei. *nod nods*
Oh. And speech comp unnerves me. It's so weird hearing about human interaction and feeling like "I know WAAAAY more about this than what's the teacher does...or at least teaching" and then at other parts "I really am such a weirdo aren't I....*sigh* no wonder I feel like I'm never fully understood" ahh well. I have my absolutely precious friends. Though some of whom I really miss talking and hanging out with due to circumstances. *coughjobssuckcough*
Oh. and since my mother doesn't read my journal when I'm home:
XD *totally predicatable....with some things*
