Club

And for tonight's post.

I had fun:

The club went to B-dubs after practice again. And despite the horridly long wait we seem to always have to go through, as always, I enjoyed myself. Tonight, however, was a bit different from the norm.

Instead of my usual group of people, it was the usuals, plus a few others. I spent the time sandwiched between Bill and Brian either annoying or teasing whoever would listen. It was quite amusing. Erin joined in on the Brian teasing, along with Josh on occasion, and we had ourselves a jolly good time.

It's always fun to tease Brian. I'm not sure when I decided that, but it really is. In any case, we're having our mock tournament in a few days, and as such, duties were divvied up. I've volunteered to help out with a couple things, what exactly I can't recall. But it should be fun. As long as everything goes as planned. But even if it doesn't I'm going to enjoy myself. I get to spend the day stabbing and journalisming. I think my project will turn out really well if I can manage to portray the atmosphere like I want to.

I was thinking about that earlier, and I really want the piece to be laid back and fun. I want it to showcase the emotions of a tournament, and the anxiousness of some of the fencers, but I also want it to show all the camaraderie. I want the before's and the after's. The change from comrades off strip, to opponents off. I want to try to get intensity in strip pictures, and laughter and happiness off of it.

Maybe that's because I'm so closely involved. Maybe it's because that's how I feel about fencing. I want everyone else to see what I see every night I walk in there. I don't know if I'll be able to pull it off, but I can damn well try. I think it'll be a fun project. If I find time to do it properly that is. I've got a lot to do for the tournament itself, and for actual fencing wise. But it shouldn't be too hard to run around with a camera and a voice recorder. I run around with a camera half the time anyway. We'll see how it goes. But my plan is to enjoy myself no matter what.
