Yup, the title is a quote from a bloke called Frodo.

I know, that was random, but that's what this TOBORT is all about! Speaking of, sorry for not updating, but I was hoping for at the very least just one comment on my dream. Quite a high hope, it seems now.

Anyway, onto the news for everyone to read! This past week, I've become a trainee at the Danelaw Medieval Fighting Society!

"What does that mean?" I hear you ask. Well, listen a while friend and follow me down the path of knowledge.

Danelaw is a group of people interested in the combat aspect of medieval times, such as Viking combat, the Crusades and the like. Knights and such. Which means they beat each other silly with a selection of medieval weapons. And I've become a trainee! whee

I know, I can hear you all out there, the sound of your eyes drying as they stare in disbelief at the screen. Don't worry so much, all the weapons are blunted, and they actually practice the art of SAFELY handling these weapons in and out of combat.

So far I've only been to one training session, and I'm not technically allowed to handle one of the real swords yet, but I now know how to parry 8 basic attacks, and I know how to use a shield!

Well, that'll finish my update for now. Until next time!
