(Which maybe says something about the sort of week I've had.)
From a comment thread on Facebook:
Dante's Infero is biblical fanfiction
No, no. Dante's Inferno is self-insert Aeneid/Bible crossover fic.
That doesn't actually make me wrong.
More specifically, Dante's Inferno is self-insert, revenge porn biblical fanfiction.
[Fiona] So it's a Mary-Sue?

Remind me why I'm doing this again?
Feb. 10th, 2011 03:11 pmMy next screening is on February 18.
I'm trying to do slow kicks every afternoon. Well, I'm trying to do cardio at midmorning and slow kicks every afternoon. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. I skipped cardio yesterday and today.
I try to alternate day by day: one day I work on balance (slow kicks without the bar). I am trying to do fifteen of each kick on each side. On my right (bad) side, I can sometimes get through ten without falling; I pick myself up and then finish the remaining five. Sometimes, if I'm lucky, I can do twenty on the good side.
On the alternate day, I work on strength (use the bar, but I do the kick, lower the leg to the floor, raise it up, and rechamber).
I just came back from downstairs, on a strength day. God, this is SO DISCOURAGING. Why am I doing this? Why am I putting myself through this? DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD SLOW KICKS ARE?
I am assailed by doubts, tired of my body's betrayal. Maybe it's the cold weather. Maybe it's the unrelenting stress in other areas of my personal life. I don't know, but I'm sick of the doubt, and depressed and discouraged. I'm tired of dealing with the aftermath of injury in my ankle, my hip, and my knee. My teacher say I can do this, I can pass the screenings, but I have to keep fighting off the fears, especially every day I face the balance kicks. And even if I get through the slow kicks (my traitor mind says), won't the paper kicks defeat me? They are really not something you can practice by yourself.
Am I practicing enough? Probably more than 90% of the kids who are trying to go through this, but maybe not enough to get a 50-year old woman through the screening process.
My fears are ravaging my courage.
If it were easy, everyone would have a black belt.
I just don't know if I ever will.
