omg don't stabinate me when i visit!

<--not, you know. not actually worried. XD

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

What? It's not like it's actually sharp or anything. :D

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I'll stabinate who and what I want, thank you. :P

[ruby-fruit.livejournal.com]

Still, a terrifying mental image.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

It comes up to, like, my armpit. Now I have a reference for writing/drawing swordfights and stuff! :D

[ruby-fruit.livejournal.com]

Wheee! I'd not thought of that. You should have someone take pictures of you for me</> reference. *nod*

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Dad took a couple of pics, and I can ask him for specific poses if you'd like. :D Just keep in mind that I've no idea how to wield a sword properly, and my upper body strength is zilch, so some poses are way out. :)

I'll have to wait till Monday to get the pictures, though.

[ruby-fruit.livejournal.com]

Yaye! And anything would be nice, am not picky. :)

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Well, right now, it's just some shots of my tooling around, really. In one of the photos, I'm totally doing the Harry "This means war! Or disco." pose. *facepalm*

Some days I really want to date you.. ::grin:: Swords rock!

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

You know, combined with that icon, your comment is oddly compelling. ;D

[ruby-fruit.livejournal.com]

Heee! Okay, you MUST post that one.

Some casual poses would be nice. Most reference pics of people with swords are all action-y.

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

I;'ll see if I can get one with it just resting on the ground in front of me, and maybe one with it slung over my shoulder? Er, not that I'd recommend that one with a read sword, though. ("Hm, let's rest this massive piece of sharpened steel right against my jugular. Yes, that sounds like a good idea!")

Great! Cut me some cake.

(I've got an axe.)

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Mmm, cake ...

(I also have a bow. But no arrows. Still, I'm two-thirds of the Fellowship alll by my loneseome already. :D)

[ruby-fruit.livejournal.com]

Whee thanks! :D (Ha! Yes. Aesthetically pleasing, but not the best idea ever.)

You know there's at least one group in Edinburgh that do historically accurate swordfighting/deulling lessons, yes? ;o)

[dzayde.livejournal.com]

::grin::.. that was the hope!

[dantesvendetta.livejournal.com]

I have a pirate sword...

Wanna have a sword fight? ;)

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

Somebody's bound to lose an eye. And by "somebody" I mean "me". :D

(At least you'd be posthumously famous?)

[bubosquared.livejournal.com]

(Not the kind of fame I'm after, kthx!)
