Bold, fearless, and swings a mighty sword

[tamarinne]

Wow, what a great day.  I just got back from doing a broadsword fight in a bookstore to promote a book called "Fearless Women" which is all about living life joyfully and fully (and with swords!) and also meeting some young girls who are thrilled to death by the fighting oh and by the way are in the "Viola Project" which is an all-female Shakespeare project for young women here in Chicago and also talking with Sam about the choreography we're doing for some other teenage girls who are just SO excited about fighting and aren't scared of their bodies and it feels so good to see girls like that, and I get home and see that b00jum has posted an interesting link in his journal and I follow it only to find out that

My Unitarian Jihad Name is: Sister Broadsword of Patience.

Get yours.

I'm not sure what a Unitarian Jihad is, or why I need a name for it, but... heck, yeah.  I am woman, if you hear me roaring it's too late because the broadsword is already coming at your head.  Patiently.  :)

edit: OK, now I've read about the Unitarian Jihad (and have also come down off my adrenaline high) and am feeling a little silly. But... meh! It's just so nifty to see women doing all this neat stuff. And to swing a broadsword around in a bookstore. It has so many of my favorite things in one place: books, swords, and women!

I have to admit being amused by the Unitarian Jihad. I once heard Orson Scott Card give a 'secular humanist revival meeting':

OSC: "Do you believe?!?!?"
Audience:"We Believe!!!!!"
OSC: "No! When I say, 'Do you believe', you say 'In WHAT?!?!?'"

How cool!

Much as I like Women, Swords, and Books, I try not to combine all of them at once; books are fragile... :-)

Sounds like fun though.

It was a VERY close fit. They had cleared bookshelves in every direction to make room for this three-person broadsword fight... but no books were harmed and the bookstore owner was thrilled. Good stuff. :)

It sounds like you had a great time, and for a good cause.

Happy happy.
